BABY RESCUE
Author's Note: Hey, this is my new story. I just read this book with the same title and I thought about Derek and Addison and I just had to use it to make another story about them. I hope you like it.
For those who are reading my other story "Divorced!" I'm working on the new chapter. Oh yeah, I also have a sort of chatroom. It's new so not too many people know about it. The link is in my profile. Please check it out. You can find me there for any comments, suggestions, ideas.

Chapter 1:
"Having problems?"
Bent over the restroom with a hairpin in the key slot, Dr. Addison Montgomery stiffened at the sound of a familiar baritone. The moment she found out that Dr. Derek Shepherd was the new Neurosurgeon filling in for the surgeon on leave at the St. Benedict's Hospital (A/N: I don't know if there's a hospital in Los Angeles with this name, so I'm just making this up), she had been bracing herself for the moment of their awkward encounter.
Addison left for Seattle six months ago, hoping to make a new start. Seeing her ex-husband and his mistress almost everywhere in the hospital was just too much to take, even though she was happy for Derek. If he was happy, then she had to accept that, no matter how hard it is.
Transferring to Los Angeles was a good decision at that time. There was nothing to keep her in Seattle. She only moved there to reconcile with Derek, but look how good it did her.
She didn't have any friends. Everyone sees her as Satan, ruler of all that is evil, the adulterous wife who stole McDreamy from Meredith. Sure, she had Dr. Bailey and Callie, but they weren't Savvy.
Then there was Mark Sloan. Mark who was constantly trying to get her back. Mark who was trying to get every female in Seattle to bed. He didn't even finish the 60 days, although she didn't expect him to. She couldn't stand the tension between Mark and Derek, knowing she was the reason for ruining the brotherhood between the two.
She couldn't go back to New York. New York was where everything started. Where her marriage failed, where she cheated on her husband.
She wished that their first encounter since she left Seattle hadn't occurred the moment her patient's son had trapped himself inside the bathroom. She knew she looked ridiculous, wearing her very high heels and on the floor, doing the hairpin trick on the door. So much looking gorgeous in front of her ex-husband, although he'd seen her in a less appealing appearance.
She straightened herself and turned to face him.
"Hi Derek. Haven't seen you in a while." She said, trying to make her voice sound as warm as possible.
"You, too. Haven't seen you since you left Seattle without a word to any of us besides the Chief." Derek replied. He was shocked to find out that Addison was gone.
He was about to page her for a consult when Dr. Webber announced that there was a new neonatal surgeon attending on board.
"Now is not the time." Addison said, anxious for him to go so she could go back to the task at hand.
"Is the door stuck?" Derek gestured to the door.
"Seriously, Derek, do you need to ask?"
"I'd offer to break it down but I don't think the hospital staff would be too happy to have a door-less restroom."
"That's not necessary, we have things under control, right?" Addison glancing at her companions for agreement. With her was the nurse, Emily and the boy's nanny, Sherry.
Derek knew thing weren't under control, or else glamorous Addison Forbes Montgomery wouldn't be doing the hairpin trick on the door. One look at the women with her, he knew he was right.
"I know I'm new here and still don't know my way around but there are other restrooms here you can use." He couldn't resist teasing her. She looked so desperate trying to get rid of him. She glared at him, and he gave him his McDreamy smile, that could make the female population swoon, in return.
"I'm sure. I have been here for six months, after all. I'm sure you have many things to do so why don't you get going."
"I don't. I was just looking for you."
"What for? A consult?"
"No. Lunch." Addison cursed her heart for feeling flattered at the invitation. But she knew better, he was with Meredith now. They were happy. The last time they were together, they can't stand to look at each other.
"Sorry, as you can see, I'm busy." She said, playing with the hairpin.
"With what? Breaking into restrooms?"
She sighed. After all this months, she can still read him, but not as well as when they were married. She can see curiosity and amusement in his blue eyes that can melt any woman's heart. She knew he wouldn't leave if he didn't know what was happening.
"If you must know" Addison sighed "a 10-year-old barricaded himself inside the bathroom."
"A patient? I didn't know you transferred into Pediatrics."
"He's my patient's son."
"What's wrong with him?" Derek asked
"Nothing. I gave her mother an epidural then did a C-section a few hours later. By the time I got back, they were here."
"It's my fault." Sherry, the nanny explained "When Dr. Montgomery gave Mrs. James an epidural, I was teasing Steve about giving him a shot. Before I knew it, he ran out of the room, down the hall, and locked himself in the bathroom.
Derek suddenly laughed. "I'm sorry… I know it's not funny, but I just can't help it."
"You can laugh about this someday, but not now." Addison said clearly irritated.
"I'm sorry, Addie." Addison winced at the use of the old nickname. "Have you tried a key?" Derek turned serious.
"Now why didn't I think of that? I just enjoy doing the hairpin trick." Addison said sarcastically "We've been waiting for someone at maintenance to bring us a key."
"Did you try talking to him?" Derek suggested.
Addison was about to give another sarcastic comeback but decided against it. "We all did, but he wouldn't believe us."
Addison crouched down and tried the hairpin again. "Steve, aren't you hungry or thirsty?"
"I can get my own drink from here." He turned on the faucet as confirmation.
Derek bent down beside Nikki. "You know, that would take all day."
"I'm a surgeon, not a locksmith." Addison was getting more irritated by the minute. She tried listening for the familiar click of the door, but nothing happened.
"Hey, Sherry, did you know I can reach the ceiling if I stand on the sink?" they heard from the closed door.
Sherry gave a horrified look. "Oh no."
"Hey, there are even spider webs in here." Steve announced
"Forget the spider web, Steve." Derek said firmly "I want you to get down, now."
"Do I have to? It's really cool up here."
"Yes!" they all shouted at the same time. All the other staff at the hospital all turned in their direction, curious as to what two world-known surgeons are doing, breaking into restrooms.
"All right. I—" His word ended in a scream followed by a large crash and an eerie silence.
