Hey guys!

Because this is my first story ever and English is not my native language I ask you not to be too strict with me.

I'm a really big fan of Grey's Anatomy but I prefer Derek and Addison as a couple which means that the focus of the following story is the relationship between the two.

The story begins where Derek asks Addison out to the prom.

I hope you enjoy it! I don't own anything!

"Addison… are you going to the prom with me?" Derek asks his wife as they stand in front of the OP-Schedule with a smile that is anything but the "McDreamy-Smile", this is the "Addison-Smile". Addison knows the smile because from the first moment she met Derek at med school she fell in love with this smile and even today it makes her feel soft. Just his smile makes her smile widely and she says to Derek "I would love to!"

After he kissed her on the cheek they go separate ways so they can get their work done quickly, since they still have to go to the trailer to dress up for the evening.

After a couple of hours they meet each other in the lobby to drive together to the trailer.

As soon as Derek gets dressed in his tux, Addison asks him to wait outside because she wants to surprise her husband.

A three-quarters of an hour later, Addison is dressed up and makes her way out of the trailer to her waiting husband but he sits with his back toward her on one of the chairs so Addison has to clear her throat to get his attention.

When Derek turns around he can hardly believe his eyes. Even though it was dark getting outside he could recognize her very well by the light which appeared from the trailer to the outside. There she stood, the woman whom he was entitled to call his wife in a long, red, charming dress. With her beautiful red hair open she has a slight smile on her lips and a sparkle in her green-blue eyes. At that moment he remembers all the glorious things he has experienced with her like the first kiss they shared or their wedding where this wonderful woman finally became his wife. And when he thought of these moments, he realized that there was only one woman with whom he wants to spend the rest of his life with and that's his Addie.

After a while Addison asks nervously "Derek?" because he just stares at her without saying a word. This brings him back from his thoughts and he only thinks of one thing that he wants to do at this moment. So he pulls her to him and kisses her passionately.

After they have to end the kiss because of the need of air they look breathlessly in each others eyes until Addison says "So you think I can go like this?"

But Derek answers with so much love and desire in his eyes "I love you so much Addie and I'm so sorry for how I treated you before and that I haven't told you how much I love you"

When Addison finally hears these words from her husband she has to struggle with tears building up in her eyes.

Derek just caresses her cheek and says "Hey don't cry, everything will be alright, sweetheart. I just realized that you are still the woman with whom I want to spend the rest of my life with and with whom I want to have a family. And I think, if you want, we can build on the time before we have mutually hurt each other and we can go back to just be 'Addison-and-Derek' because I can't imagine a life without you by my side."

Finally Addison finds her voice "You don't believe how long I waited to hear these words from you. I love you so much, Derek. But we can't go back to be just 'Addison-and-Derek'."
