A/N: Thanks for all the positive feedback on the first story! I'll most certainly keep writing as long as I know people will read them. Also, I like Addison. I refuse to paint her as a card carrying bitch. She's a woman who has made mistakes, making her human just like everyone else.

Something about Seattle Grace was different as Meredith and Derek entered. Derek, who normally paid no attention to his surroundings had even picked up on it. They were getting strange looks from the staff. Sometimes downright dirty looks. He waited until they were in the elevator before he said anything.

" Okay, that wasn't just me picking up on that out there was it , " he asked, confused.

" No. There's definitely something weird going on around here, " Meredith agreed.

Resolving not to think about it, he dropped a kiss on the top of her head as they reached the fourth floor. The doors opened. Derek narrowed his eyes. Standing in front of them was none other than Satan herself.

" Addison. What are you doing here , " his greeting was anything but friendly.

He and Meredith stepped off the elevator, his hand resting at the small of her back. He noticed she didn't look to happy at that moment either.

" Well, you'd know if you bothered to return any one of my phone calls ," he saw her eyes going back and forth between himself and Meredith.

He didn't say anything.

" Hi. I'm Addison Sheperd , " she stuck her hand out to Meredith and he gave Meredith credit for coolly accepting it.

" You must be the woman whose sleeping with my husband , " Addison continued on.

Meredith didn't appear fazed by Addison's statement.

" From what I hear, he's your soon to be ex husband , " Meredith countered.

Addison raised an eyebrow. Derek smiled in spite of himself. Clearly, she wasn't expecting that.

" Derek, I've really got to go find Cristina. Page me when you get the chance okay, " Meredith leaned up and kissed his cheek before taking off down the hallway.

Sometimes, she really did surprise him.

Meredith was fuming as she took off to find Cristina. She was still mad as hell at Derek, but now she was even more pissed. He tells her on the night Addison decides to show up? Not to mention apparently the entire freakin' hospital knew about it. Oh, she might be pissed at Derek, but there was no way that she was going to allow Addison to see that their relationship was less than perfect. She imagined she would have felt differently if she didn't know that Addison had cheated on Derek.

According to Derek, Addison broke him, but she , Meredith , had glued him back together again. No way in hell was she going to allow Addison to break him again. It was ironic that she was so angry at him, yet so willing to protect him from the very thing that had her so angry to begin with. Shaking those thoughts from her head, she stopped by a nurse's station to page Cristina. The nurse shot her a dirty look. Meredith narrowed her eyes, but said nothing.

Ten minutes later she was heading across the street to Joe's, where Cristina had been all along.

She was sitting with George at the bar, both of them staring off into space. She pulled a barstool beside Cristina and motioned for Joe to get her a shot of tequila. She could most certainly use it right now.

" Let's play a game of whose life sucks the most. I'll win. I always win , " Meredith greeted them.

"You don't wanna play with me, " Cristina warned.

"Oh I do. I'll even go first. Derek is married, " Meredith chirped brightly before knocking back another shot. She watched, amused, as George spit his beer out, some of it coming out of his nose.

"George, beer is dripping from your nostrils , " Cristina stated the obvious.

George took off in the direction of the bathroom.

" Told ya I'd win , " Meredith smirked as she looked over at her friend.

" You didn't win , " Cristina took a swig of her beer.

" Did you hear me? I said Derek was married and to top it off, apparently the Mrs. is going to be working with us. Nothing you say could top that , " Meredith finished off her third shot.

" I'm pregnant, " was all Cristina said.

" Okay you win, " Meredith conceded.

Which is right about the time they both looked over to see Joe collapse.

" Okay, so maybe Joe wins , " Cristina said as they hurried to their feet and moved behind the bar.

Addison stood across from him, arms folded and eyebrows raised, as if waiting for some kind of explanation. Like he owed her one. He decided to take the direct approach.

" Addison. What are you doing here , " he repeated his question from earlier.

" Your hair is different, " she mused out loud.

" A lot of things are different, " he informed her harshly.

" It's longer. I like it. It's very Russell Crowe.

Derek rolled his eyes.

" What are you doing here, " he asked again.

" What are you doing here? You just pick up and leave everything, your house, your practice, your friends. You had a life in Manhattan, "

" Had ," he agreed with her.

" And now you have a girlfriend in Seattle...she seems sweet , " Addison baited him.

His eyes flashed with anger as he addressed her.

" Go home, good night , " he said coldly as he went to move past her.

" She's young. That whole wide-eyed "ooh, he's a brain surgeon" thing happening, but still sweet. Which is what you were going for, right? The anti-Addison, " she called out to him.

" If you came here to win me back, you can forget about it, " Derek turned to look at her.

" I did. I flew all the way across the country to reminisce over wedding photos, get drunk, fall into bed, and make you realize you can't live without me. Relax, Derek, I'm here for work. I'm helming the T.T.S. case you guys admitted last week. And after Richard's briefing... , " Addison informed him.

" Richard knew you were coming out here, " Derek's voice was laced with surprise and just a touch of anger.

" Richard asked me to come out here. Didn't he tell you, " Addison asked innocently, the expression on her face telling him she knew damn well Richard hadn't said anything about it.

" No, he didn't ," he responded, barely controlling the fury that was threatening to escape.

" Hmm, surprise, " Addison smirked as she walked past him, stopping to whisper in his ear. "The hair though, you knew I always had a thing for Russell Crowe. "

He resisted the urge to yell after her as she walked away.

Meredith and Cristina paced the hallways of Seattle Grace's ER nervously. Joe had just been brought in and both of them were worried. They had tried to figure out the problem while someone called 911. The best they could figure was heart attack. Now, they waited anxiously to find out what was wrong with their friend. Knowing that he was in good hands though, they continued their conversation from earlier.

" All right. Details. You're pregnant? What are you gonna do, " Meredith whispered to Cristina.

" Well, you know what happens to pregnant interns. I'm not switching to vagina squad or spending my life popping zits. I'm too talented, surgery's my life, " Cristina told her quietly, eyes darting around to make sure no one was listening.

" Which begs the question...who are you sleeping with, " Meredith asked.

" Just a guy."

" That's all I get? You can't just bring something like this up and expect me to drop it."

" Well watch me, " Cristina spotted Izzy and George over by Joe's room and she headed towards them. Izzy looked confused to see Meredith trailing behind her.

" What are you doing back here? Don't you have a date with McDreamy, " Izzy asked.

Meredith chuckled humorlessly.

" Iz, I think you may be the only person in this hospital that doesn't know, "

" Know what , " Derek's voice came from behind Izzy and Meredith rolled her eyes.

" Nevermind, " Derek seemed to realize what she was talking about.
