Where My Heart Belongs

Meeting Addison Montgomery

It was Addison´s first day of work.

She had just accepted the offer, her old professor Richard Webber had made her, and moved to Seattle with her fiancé, Nick.

Addison took one final look in the mirror as she nervously tried to pin the loose strands of her bun back in and then hurried down the stairs.

"Bye" she called out over her shoulder, closing the big wooden door behind her.

"Bye" Nick mumbled to himself somehow considering she had already left.

He knew she was late but that had never bothered her before. Maybe it´s just the new job… he thought to himself and pushed his doubts back.

Addison was tapping her nails onto the desk in front of her. She was waiting for Richard to get her.

Get her for meeting the rest of the staff.

She felt butterflies in her stomach, it was like the first day of school.

Except that she now was about to get thrown into a tank full of sharks, just waiting for bag.

"Addison? You ready?" Addison hadn´t noticed Richard was standing next to her. She had been too lost in her thoughts that pretty much just circled around her close heart attack.

"Uh, yeah…" she looked up at her former professor who raised his eyebrows at her, as he had done so often back in med school "well, as ready as you can be, considering I´ll pass out, or die, which would actually be so much less painful for me…" word vomit´ started to come out and Addison knew it, but she couldn´t control this, it always happened when she was nervous, and Richard knew that as well.

"It´ll be fine and you met most of them when you came in for the interview" Richard tried to calm her down and it seemed to work.

"Thanks" Addison gave him a grateful smile, she didn´t know if she´d make it through this day without Richard by her site.

"Dude, how long do we have to keep waiting here?" Preston groaned, turning towards Derek.

"I have absolutely—" he stopped as the door opened and Richard guided the woman from the interview a few weeks ago into the room.

She wore her auburn colored hair in a bun, a few strands tucked behind her ear. Derek couldn´t help but stare at her. He knew it was rude, but she was stunning and he was captivated by her presence right the second right the second she was within his vision range.

"So, I´d like you all to welcome Addison Montgomery our new OB/GYN and Neonatal surgeon" Richard introduced the tall red head.

After a few minutes of shaking hands Richard motioned Addison to sit down and she made her way over to the seat next to Derek.

"Hey, Derek Shepherd, nice to meet you" he whispered looking at her and offered her his hand.

"Hi, Addison Montgomery, nice to meet you" she smiled at him and took his hand in hers.

"Pleasure is all mine" Derek quickly said before they both had to focus on Richard again, before he´d shush them.

"Hey, is this seat taken?" Derek´s head snapped up from the chart he was skimming and saw Addison standing in front of him with a tray in her hands.

"Sure" he quickly moved some charts off of the chair next to him.

"Thanks" she sat down and smiled gratefully at him. "You know, it feels like High School. Everyone stares at me like I´m some geek."

"Well, to be honest, the interns always will keep staring at you"

"Oh YAY! This already sounds like fun!" Addison replied sarcastically.

Derek had to laugh at the face she made "It´s more fun than you think it is." He then said, somewhat flirtatiously.

"Maybe you´re right, which I, by the way, seriously doubt" Addison quickly gave him a smile so he won´t think she was some arrogant surgeon who doubted everything and everyone. Even though she wasn´t sure if she wasn´t just that.

"So, where are you from?" Derek asked her, turning towards her.

"New York, Manhattan to be more exact" Addison answered "you?" she took a bite of her sandwich and waited for him to answer.

"Impressive, a job in Manhattan, wow. I´m from Greenwich, Connecticut." He replied, running his hand through his dark hair.

"You´re married?" Addison then answered after seeing the ring on his finger.

"Yeah, almost three years. What about you? Boyfriend or single surgeon with a cat?"

"Engaged actually and I do have a cat, her name´s Deena." Addison answered, a smile gracing over her lips.

"You´re not wearing a ring" Derek said confused and furrowed his eyebrows together, glancing at her hand.

"I know, can´t stand rings. Well, rings with diamonds on them, I have it at home though"

"Seriously?" Derek looked at her in disbelieve.

"Seriously" Addison confirmed laughing about the look he gave her.

Push that little blue button on the left and make me happy :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
