Derek is really pissing me off, so I wrote this in attempt to make myself feel like he was really trying to make his marriage work. ENJOY!
A Day to Remember
Woof. Woof. Woof.
Addison awoke to Doc sniffing her nose. She tried to roll over to the other side of the bed and ignore him. Doc didn't seem to take no for an answer and continued to bark.
" Derek! The dog," Addi desperately tried to go back to sleep, but Doc just kept barking. " Derek!" Addison sat up in bed and saw that it was covered it rose petals. " Aww, Derek!" Addison took a handful of petals and smelled them. Addison watched as the petals fell back onto the bed, while Doc was still barking.
" Ok, boy," Addison pat the bed and Doc jumped up. She noticed a white envelope tucked in his collar, " What ya got there boy?" She opened the envelope and it read.

Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day. You like the trailer? Doc was being a pain so I hope he didn't tramle the roses.So, get out of bed and over to the hospital and be ready for more quotes and surprises.
Love,
Derek
" Aww. He's good," She ruffled Doc's fur a little, " Don't ya think?"

I always thought that Frost was a smart guy. Hope your day's going well.
Love,

" Hello, Dr. Shepherd," Izzie said. " What you got there?"
Addison quickly folded the note and put it in her pants pocket, " Oh, Nothing."

Addison found another note in the pocket of her lab coat.

She smiled at how well he knew her.

I've been wondering if you're keeping track of all these numbers. You're probably not. You've never been good with small details like that. Anyway, meet me in the lobby. I have something for you.
Love,
Derek
Addison laughed. This note had been clipped in a patient's chart

The last note was found in Derek's hand in the hospital lobby. Addison smiled when she saw the envelope.
" These have truly been the highlight of my day." She said taking the last note.
" That's good." Derek smiled.

I really wish I knew who said this, so I could tell them what a genuis they are. I have never met a woman as beautiful as you are.
I love you, Addi. Even thought I've been showing it in a pretty crappy way these past months.
Love,
Derek
" This one's my favorite," Addison started to cry a little.
" Yeah?" Derek asked putting his hand under her chin.
" Yes. What were all the numbers about?"
Derek lifted his sleeve and checked his watch," Exactly 12 years, or 4,380 days, or 105,120 hours, or 6,307,200 minutes or 378,432,00 seconds ago, I proposed."
" And I said yes,"
" And you said yes,"
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.
