Hey guys it's me again ... I'm really in a Addek mood the last days so I wrote this ... enjoy...

What would have happened …

It was a beautiful night in New York. Addison sat in the brownstone. It was her and Derek's anniversary. She prepared everything and everything looked perfect. But Derek wasn't there. She looked around. The candles were only half from the beginning. She shrugged her head. She even shaved her legs for him. In this moment someone entered the brownstone and she sighed relieved that must be Derek. She looked a last time in the mirror, before she went to the entrance hall, "Derek finally you're …", but she stopped mid sentence. "Oh Mark, hey." She couldn't hide the disappointment.

"Addie", he gave her a kiss on the forehead, "sorry… Derek won't make it."

"You're hungry?"
"Addie … please sit down, let's eat, because I'm hungry and I don't want to eat alone."
They sat down and began to eat, "You know this tastes really good", Mark told her, but she only shrugged. He knew that she would break down every minute. So went over to her, lifted her up and went over with her to the couch. "Tell me Addie, what happened?"
"He didn't come … again … I means it's frustrating … I don't know if I can do this any longer."
Mark looked at her closely, "You think about leaving him?"
"Richard offered me a job in Seattle and I think maybe he would notice after a week that I'm gone …"
"Addie, he would notice… tell me what happened that you think about it really a lot."

"He can't … he … we … I …"
"Oh come on, just spill it."
"I'm pregnant ok. He got me pregnant, but I know he don't want a child at the moment, but I can't abort it and … I don't know… it's complicated."

"You wanted to tell him tonight?", Mark asked her and watched Addison closely, she snuggled to his chest and started to cry, "Don't tell him Marc. Please!"
"I won't … I promise ... but you should really go to bed." He led her upstairs to the master bedroom, she changed and lay down, he wanted to leave, but she said, "Could you … hold me? Please Mark; I don't want to be alone tonight." Mark sighted, he really had to talk with Derek about that. He lied down next to Addison and hugged her. A few minutes later she was asleep. He looked at her. She was so beautiful, he couldn't understand how Derek could leave her alone all the time. He fell asleep too. A few hours later Derek arrived at the brownstone. He went upstairs and to the bedroom and saw Mark next to his wife. He really got angry, but didn't say a word, because he didn't want to wake Addison up. So he woke Mark up and they went downstairs.

"What do you think you're doing?", Derek asked his best friend angry.

"Derek, look … we fell asleep. It's nothing."

"NOTHING? You were lying in MY bed next to MY wife."

"Yes Derek I was, because she was upset that you didn't come home. She prepared everything for you so that it would be perfect."

"Mark that's not you problem."
"It is, because you always send me and I tell you something as a friend: She will be gone when you are staying absent. She is Addison Forbes Montgomery-Shepherd and if you don't take care of her, she will be soon Addison Forbes Montgomery again."

"Mark!"

"Derek, just think about that I will leave now. By the way, here's your key … you remember the one you gave to me to look for your wife."

Derek sighed, "Thanks. Mark … can you tell the chief that … Addison and I won't be there tomorrow."

Mark smiled at his friend, "Ok. Just work things out with Addie."

"Ok. Thanks for taking care of her and … I'm sorry for screaming at you."

"No problem. When I would be in your place I think I would have reacted the same way, I mean she's damn beautiful Derek."

"Yeah, I know."
"Maybe you should tell her."

"She knows."
"I don't think so", Mark turned around to leave, "so have a nice day off tomorrow."

"Bye Mark."
"Bye Derek."

Derek went upstairs and looked at Addison. Mark was right, she was good damn beautiful and he ignored her for the last time. He lay down next to her. He hugged his wife and went to sleep fast.

The next morning Addison woke up and noticed that someone was still hugging her. She remembered the last night. She drank too much and dragged Mark to stay. She turned around and was a bit shocked when she saw Derek, who was watching her sleep.

"Hey, good morning sleepy head."

"Hey", she only answered, because she was too confused that Derek lay next to her. She looked at the watch it was 10 am. She sighed, "Derek, we are late. We should have been at the hospital hours ago." She wanted to stand up, but he didn't let her.

"We have the day off."

She was stunned, "We have?"
"Yeah, I arranged it, because … I think we really have to talk."

"Ok."
"But we should begin with breakfast", he lifted a tray up that was standing next to him. On it was everything Addison loved for breakfast: a croissant, some marmalade, a few fruits and a vanilla latte.

"Thank you Derek that is really … nice."
He smiled at her and she began to eat, "What about you? You need something for breakfast too. I ate something when I went to Starbucks to get your coffee."

"Oh", Addison felt bad now, because he went to Starbucks to get her a coffee and she couldn't really drink it. So she ate and tried to perform as if she would drink her coffee, but Derek didn't watch his wife that closely, so he didn't notice. When she was finished, he went to her walk in closet and brought jeans, an emerald green cashmere sweater and a blazer. "Please wear this Addie…"

She was still stunned and confused by the way Derek acted so she got dressed in the things Derek picked out without protest.

They went to Central Park and sat down on a bench, it was just the beginning of October and it was a beautiful day in New York. They sat there for a while, before Addison asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Us", was Derek's simple answer, "I'm sorry for not being home yesterday night."
"It's ok", Addison only said quietly.

"No Addie, it's not and you know that. It was our anniversary and I wasn't there. I … I'm sorry for not being home in the last time."
Addison looked at her husband closely before she answered, "You were absent the last year."

He looked into her eyes, "I'm sorry."

"Ok", Addison just said and looked down on the ground.

Derek grabbed her chin and made her look at him, "You can believe me this time Addie. I will change. I promise you. I couldn't stand losing you and I know … you're too good for this and if I were in your place I think would be gone already, but please give me one more chance. I won't screw it up. I promise. I love you Addie, I love you so much and I'm sorry I didn't show you that the last time."
Addison looked at her husband for a while, "Just don't screw it up."
"I won't …", he kissed her softly.

"Derek there's something … I need to tell you", she looked at him really serious.

"Ok…", he was a bit afraid what it would be.

"I … I'm pregnant."
"You're pregnant?"
"Yeah, 6th week. I found out 2 weeks ago. The little peanut in there is fine. Everything is good, so there's nothing to worry about."
"You're pregnant?", Derek was stunned.

"Yes Derek for the thousands time. I'm pregnant."
"Oh my gosh … I will become a dad", he stood up, lifted Addie up and swirled her around, "we will become parents Addie", he smiled at her brightly.

"I know …", she returned his smile.

"So there's one thing I need to tell you, Richard offered me a job in Seattle."
"At SGH?"
"Yes. How do you know?"
"He offered me a job too."
"You want to go?"
"Don't know, but maybe we could go there and watch it. Take a look, meet Richard and Adele again. It would be nice."
He smiled at her, "You're right. I will call Richard tomorrow."

"Good."

"So now let's enjoy the day, because you know a beautiful red head just told me that I will be the father of her child."

"You really have to like her", she smiled softly at him.

"I like her really much and I think I'm lucky that she's my wife."

They both had to laugh, "And now my beautiful wife with the little "peanut" inside I want to take you to Empire State Building, because I know you love the viewfinders."
She smiled at him softly.

"Thanks Derek."
"For what?"
"For being the man I married again."

So what do you think? I was thinking if I should leave it as a one shot or go on writing. Don't really know yet ... would love to hear what you think.

So please review.
