Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy.

Note: I had this idea that wouldn't go away let me know what you think of it.

Not again

Addison and Derek are sitting in a waiting room waiting for the nurse to call them in and see if their surrogate mother is pregnant. They are getting nervous this is their third possible surrogate in three years. If she wasn't pregnant they would either have to go through the process again or find another woman who was willing to carry their baby for them. A woman came out from inside the main room and calls them.

"Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Montgomery Shepherd can you please come with me." The woman asked them politely. She was young with curly blonde hair and deep green eyes.

Derek and Addison follow the young woman into a small examination room waiting for the doctor to come.

"Dr. Schneider is with Elizabeth, your surrogate mother, now determining if she is pregnant. She will be in with you shortly. Then Dr. Schneider will explain the results…"

"Listen…" Addison said trying to remember if the girl told them her name.

"Meredith Grey."

"Okay Meredith we have been through this before 9 times to be exact. We know the drill you don't have to give us the whole speech." Addison said taking her emotions out on Meredith when she is not mad at her but is just an easy target.

"Please excuse my wife Addison. We have been through this before, 5 years of trying for us to get pregnant and 3 years of trying with a surrogate. We just don't have that much patients anymore. I am sorry though this isn't your fault."

"Okay I am just going to leave you guys alone now. The doctor will be here shortly." She makes a quick escape out of the room and runs into the doctor.

"So are they having a baby?" The doctor silently shakes her head no and walks into the exam room. Meredith can't help but feel sorry for the couple. Most of the couples she was indifferent too but there was something about this couple. They seemed so hurt and appeared to be straining there marriage. She had only taken this job over the summer her mother had suggested it would look good when applying for internships.

The tension was building in the exam room after Meredith left. Addison was nervously inspecting her nails and Derek was reading a magazine on pregnancy hoping he would need some of the helpful tips.

The doctor entered the exam room looking at charts before sitting down and facing them.

"Addison, Derek I am so sorry to tell you this but Elizabeth isn't pregnant." They both looked at her there smiles dropping. Addison had tears in her eyes she wanted a baby now and could tell every year they go without one Derek pulls further and further away.

"So what does this mean?" Derek asked already knowing the possible options.

"Well you could try again with this surrogate or find another one. Another possibility would be adopting a baby from one of the pregnant mothers wishing to give her baby up." She notices the hopeful faces of Derek and Addison at the thought of getting another surrogate. "I have done some tests and I think you should look into traditional surrogacy. The baby would have the same DNA as Derek and the mother you chose to carry your baby. For some reason gestational surrogacy isn't working for you. You may also want to think about that as an option for a child. I will leave you here alone for a few minutes while you decide."

The silence filled the room once the Dr. Schneider excused herself. They both sat there once again disappointed and thinking about the future. Derek was the first one to speak and discuss with Addison what he thought.

"I think we should go ahead and try the traditional surrogacy. I know we want a baby and the gestational surrogacy isn't working. I think we should just try it once." Derek said almost pleading with her like a five year old.

"We can look into and make an appointment with the doctor." Addison said exiting the room with Derek in tow.
