I've recently got into Grey's Anatomy. Originally I didn't like Addison, but I've grown to love her character and was so upset when she left which is why I've decided to start a story about her. Never written a Grey's Anatomy fic so not sure if it will be any good.

Obviously, Addison belongs to Grey's Anatomy but I will be including some of my own characters.

This is set after series 3 episode 8 when Addison is on a ferry and throws her wedding rings into the water.

Tears were forming in Addison's eyes, more quickly than she could brush them away. She couldn't help it though, she was feeling lost and so alone.

The rings were gone forever. Her marriage was over. She had lost the man she loved.

Right now though, she didn't have to time to feel sorry for herself and shed tears over her sad life.

She needed to stop crying because her sister, Annabelle, and family were not far from Seattle now and it wouldn't be long before they arrived.

Addison and Annabelle didn't always got along but she still loved her sister a lot and hoped some time with her would be exactly what she needed.

Addison got on really well with Annabelle's husband, Dane, and was really close with her three nieces.

After allowing a few more tears to fall from her eyes, Addison forced herself to stop before getting off the ferry and driving to her hotel.

Annabelle, Dane and the girls were going to be staying at the same hotel so Addison decided to sit at the bar and have a drink whilst she waited for them to arrive.

It had been a while since Addison has last been updated on where they were which she found a bit strange, but she was expecting them anytime now.

After ordering a glass of white wine Addison was sat alone when her pager went off. Typical, she thought to herself. There really wasn't a lot she could do about it though and just hoped she wouldn't be too long.

Addison offered her untouched glass of wine to a lady, also sat alone, on another table before heading to the hospital. She tried ringing her sister but she didn't pick up.

When Addison arrived at the hospital she was informed there had been a major RTC and one of the patients involved was a woman who was 30 weeks pregnant so Addison went straight to see her.

She ended up having to perform a c-section on the woman which didn't take too long so now she was hoping she could get back to the hotel to see her family.

After scrubbing out Addison's pager went off again. She sighed before heading to the pit.

"Where do you need me now Richard?" Addison asked trying her best not to let on how much she really didn't want to be here

Richard just looked at Addison looking very serious.

"Richard, what's going on?" Addison asked when Richard didn't say anything

All of a sudden Addison spotted Derek and from the look on his face she could tell that something bad was going on.

"Your sister and her family were part of the crash Addison" Richard eventually told her

"Where are they?" Addison asked, Derek was now stood by her side

"Annabelle's in surgery and I'm sorry but Dane was pronounced dead at the scene"

This was the last thing Addison was expecting, nothing could have prepared her for those words.

"And the girls?"

"They're all doing fine, they've only got minor injuries"

"I- I don't know what to do"

"Go and see your nieces Addie, they really need you" Derek said

"But what about Annabelle?"

"You'll be here when she's out of surgery, but those girls have just lost their Dad and their Mum is having major surgery. Go see them"

Richard took Addison to her nieces who were all so pleased to see their Aunt. On the way there Addison realised she hadn't even asked what was wrong with Annabelle.

"Why's Annabelle in surgery? She's going to be okay isn't she?"

"We're not sure Addison, she has a tear in her heart"

Addison's heart sank but right now she knew she needed to stay strong for the sake of her nieces.

Addison's eldest niece, Olivia who was 16, was sat in a hospital bed and her other two nieces were sat in chairs beside her bed. Addison rushed over to them.

"Is Mum okay?" Emily, Addison's youngest niece who was 11, asked

"She's still in surgery, but hopefully we'll know something soon"

"I want Dad" Amy, who was 13, cried

"Me too sweetheart" Addison said truthfully

Right now she was the one who had to be there for her nieces and she felt completely out of her depth. It was a relief that they weren't majorly injured though.

Addison supported them the best she could whilst her three nieces cried. She didn't know what to do or say to make them feel better.

It was all getting a bit too much for Addison. She felt she needed to be in surgery with her sister but she couldn't leave her nieces.

"I'm just going to the bathroom, I'll be right back" Addison said

Addison left the room feeling completely overwhelmed. She spotted Richard so went over to him to see what was going on.

"Have you heard anything?"

"They're doing everything they can Addison but I think there's been a lot of complications"

Addison tried to run off and head to the OR, she needed to be with her sister. But Derek was there and he stopped her.

"What are you doing Derek? I need to save my sister"

"You are in no state to be in an OR Addison. You need to be looking out for your nieces"

"I am, which is why I need to help save their Mum. They've already lost one parent today, they can't lose another"

"The best thing you can do is to stay with Liv and Amy and Em. They need you"

Suddenly Addison crumbled, and fell into Derek's arms. He held her whilst she cried. They may not be married anymore, but that didn't mean that Derek didn't still care about Addison.

When her tears had subsided Addison pulled away.

"I'm sorry" Addison said

"You don't need to say sorry Addison, I'm here for you. Now go and wash your face because you look a bit like a panda right now and then go and be with those girls. If there's any update I promise I'll come and tell you"

Derek's shift had now finished but he couldn't leave Addison; he wanted to be there for her just as he'd said.

Addison did as Derek said and headed to the toilets so that she could wash her face. She had a few minutes to herself before heading back to her nieces. Derek was popping in and out to see how they were doing. The three girls liked their Uncle Derek a lot.

Another few hours passed when Derek appeared at the door. He didn't come in this time and Addison could tell he didn't have good news. She went outside and closed the door behind her.

"I'm so sorry Addie, Annabelle didn't make it through the surgery"

Addison froze. This couldn't be happening. She couldn't breathe.

Derek realised she was having a panic attack so made her take some deep breaths and managed to calm her down. Once she was breathing normally again Derek held her for a few minutes.

"It's all my fault Derek"

"Of course it's not, how is it your fault?"

"They were coming to Seattle to visit me. If I wasn't here then they wouldn't have come and there wouldn't have been a car crash"

"You can't think like that. This is not your fault Addison, it really isn't"

Addison put her head in her hands. She knew she now needed to tell the girls, but she just didn't know how"

"Derek you've already done so much for me and I know I don't deserve it, but will you be there when I tell the girls?"

"Of course I will" Derek said squeezing Addison's hand reassuringly "you ready"

Addison nodded and they walked into the room together to break the awful news.

Would love to know what you think. I know Addison doesn't really have a sister on the show, but I wanted to introduce her in my own story x
