Hey! I'm so sorry for the lack of update. I've been busy with school and work experience. I want to say hey to everyone I worked with last week. You guys are the best. So here's the next chapter. It's a bit short! Please review xxx Thank you!

Derek couldn't wait to hear the sound of Addison's car drive up the driveway so he could see his daughter. He had been so busy with work recently he hadn't really gotten to see her. He was planning on taking her to the park because she loved their trips to the park. He would sit on the bench while she ran around wild with Doc. Doc was their dog, the dog that was once Meredith's. He and Addison had grown to love the dog. It wasn't a surprise to Derek that he would love Doc because he had loved Meredith. But he was stunned when Addison became like best buds with him. And now he was Jennifer's best friend. Derek laughed to himself. He heard the sound of the car and the door being thrown open. Derek got up to greet his daughter.

"Daaaadd! Dad!" shouted Jennifer.

Jennifer couldn't wait to tell her Dad about her new friend at school. She had a feeling that this girl was going to be her best friend. This sounded stupid because she had just met her but she was special. Jennifer had a wide grin on her face when she entered the living room.

"Hey baby!"

Derek picked Jennifer up in a big hug.

"How are you? How was school? Did everybody love your talk? And I bet they said you had the best parents!"

Jennifer laughed at her dad's pathetic joke.

"School was fine and the talk went great. I didn't even make any mistakes but dad there's something better to tell you about."

"Okay go for it, I'm listening"

Just as Jennifer was about to start her story about Charley they heard a smashing noise from out in the hall. They both ran out to the hall and were faced with Addison and a very expensive broken vase.

"What happened? Are you okay?" asked a concerned Derek.

Addison cringed.

"Erm…yeah…I'm fine…I fell."

"You fell?" Derek was confused. How could you fall when there was nothing to fall over?

Addison knew it was stupid but she had to stop Jennifer from telling Derek about Charley. She had to make sure that Charley and her stupid mother didn't mess up her marriage and life again! Yeah, it had been stupid. But falling and knocking over a vase had distracted Jennifer and Derek for now. All Addison had to do now was get Jennifer to shut up about Charley until Addison got to meet her.

Derek began to sweep up the broken glass while Addison guided Jennifer to her bedroom to get changed out of her uniform. Derek found it very strange that Addison just fallen over nothing but thinking nothing of it he continued to sweep up and he got ready for his trip to the park.
