A/N: Okay here's another chapter of this. Obviously!! Not really related, except for it's still Addison and Derek with Mark there too. In New York. I have one more one like this planned and then it'll just be random one-shots with Addek in. Mostly they'll be happy and fluffy, but some could be sad, angsty or smut, depending on my mood really.

Oh, and this one wasn't beta-ed so sorry for any mistakes. I just really wanted to get it uploaded and my beta is on holiday. :)

Disclaimer: Nothing's mine.

A knock at the door pulled Derek from his thoughts immediately. He put his half empty beer bottle on the table and heaved himself off the couch to answer the door. As he passed the stairs he glanced up hopefully, but he knew he wouldn't see Addison walking down towards him. Shaking his head he carried on to the door.

Pulling it open, he attempted a smile. "Hi, Mark. How are you?"

"Good thanks," Mark nodded and walked in past Derek. "You?"

Derek closed the door and followed Mark through to the living room. "Fine. I'm just fine."

Mark glanced at him. "No Addie, I'm guessing?" Derek shook his head. "Sorry."

Derek shrugged. "I just don't know what to do. If I try to talk to her she ignores me or tells me she's fine. If I don't talk to her she asks me what she's done wrong. I just want my wife back," he said before sitting down on the couch.

Mark watched his friend sadly. He hated to see what was happening to them, knowing he couldn't help. He hated that Addison was being so distant. He knew she was upset but she needed to talk about what had happened before it could get better.

"I feel so useless," Derek said, putting his head in his hands.

"I know," Mark nodded and sat down in the chair opposite him. "Me too."

The two men sat in silence for a while, Derek thinking about the past few weeks, and Mark thinking what he could do to help. How had so much gone wrong in so little time? Three weeks ago, Addison and Derek had been happily expecting a baby girl. They'd picked out colours for the bedroom and had tonnes of baby clothes bought already. Addison was coming up to the end of her seventh month, and they were just preparing to go for a meal at Derek's parents house to celebrate his sister Imogen's twenty-sixth birthday. Both Addison and Derek were ready to leave, and he told her to go wait in the car whilst he grabbed the presents and locked everything up. Five minutes later he found her lying at the bottom of the steps leading to their house unconscious. He'd rung for an ambulance, then phoned Mark to come over, and then his mother to apologize for having to miss the meal. She told him he was crazy to apologize, this was much more important, and that she'd get to the hospital as soon as she could. After a three-hour wait in the hospital waiting room (Derek had asked to scrub in on the surgery, or at least watch from the gallery, but the hospital had insisted it wasn't allowed for family members), the doctors delivered the news that broke Derek's heart. The surgeons were unable to save the baby, and in trying had almost lost Addison too. At this news, Derek collapsed on the floor in tears. He'd stayed there until the doctor had told him Addison was awake and that it was best if he was there when they broke the news to her. Derek had stood holding her hand whilst the surgeon explained all about the accident and the surgery, and the two had sat crying for three hours solid. One after the other, Derek's family members came in to see Addison, followed by her parents, and finally by Mark. Addison hadn't said a word since she was told the news, and even three weeks on she didn't say much more.

"What else can I do?" Derek broke the silence and raised his head to look at Mark. "She blames herself and I can't get her to see that this was just an accident."

Mark shook his head. "I don't know. I'm sorry. You've done everything I can think of."

"Yeah, I have," Derek replied.

Mark groaned as his pager beeped. "Sorry, I have to run, 911," he stood up and went to walk out of the room. Before leaving, however, he put a hand on Derek's shoulder and said, "just hold on," and walked out.

Derek stared into space as he heard the front door open and close, followed by a car door slam and that same car drive away. He knew Mark was right, he had to hold on, he just didn't know how long before he would lose his grip.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That evening Derek decided to try with Addison again. He switched the TV off at ten thirty, took a quick shower before climbing into bed next to her. When she didn't move he wrapped his arm around her waist and linked his fingers through hers.

She opened her eyes slowly and allowed them to adjust to the darkness before she said anything. "Derek..."

"Shhh, Addie, it's okay. You don't have to talk, just lay in my arms for tonight," he whispered against her shoulder.

She nodded silently but didn't close her eyes again. She stared forwards thinking. It was all she did these days, but somehow she couldn't bring herself to get up and carry on with life. She knew she couldn't live like this forever, and that sooner or later she'd have to face everyone, but for now she was fine. Fine. She hated that word. It meant anything but 'okay'. It was what she'd say when she really wasn't okay, and just wanted someone, preferably Derek, to hold her and tell her it'd all be okay soon.

"Derek I'm so sorry," she said, using her free hand to wipe the tears off her face.

"Addie it wasn't your fault, okay. Stop blaming yourself," he squeezed her hand reassuringly.

She pulled her hand away from his and turned to face him. "What did I do, Derek, what did I do to deserve this?"

He shook his head and brushed her cheek with his finger gently. "You didn't do anything. Nobody did anything, it was an accident," he kissed her forehead.

Addison sighed and leant in to his touch. He wrapped his arms tightly around her and they lay together until Addison fell asleep. Derek smiled and kissed her hair as her breathing became shallower, and he allowed himself to drift of to sleep, still holding her close.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning Derek woke up first. He took a moment to take in the room and his eyes finally rested on Addison's sleeping form. He watched her for a few minutes, wondering how long it would take them to get back to normal, or if they'd ever even get there. He watched as her eyes fluttered open to meet his, and she smiled slightly before yawning.

"I've missed that smile," he said.

She nodded and pulled back slightly so she could look at him properly. "Do you think we're ever going to get through this? I mean, I know I'm the one who's staying up here all day, but I don't know how to move on."

"Ads it's okay to be upset. I'm upset too, I just know that if I carry on sooner or later it'll get easier. But it'd be a hell of a lot easier if you were with me, because I miss you so much, I just want my wife back," Derek sighed.

She broke eye contact with him and fiddled with the bed sheets. She wanted to believe him that it would get easier, but she wasn't so sure.

"Just come downstairs with me today," Derek suggested. "We can watch a movie or something?"

She looked back up at his hopeful eyes and nodded uncertainly. "Okay."

He smiled and pushed himself off the bed. He grabbed her hand and pulled her up after him, and she laughed when he kissed her nose. Slowly they walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs, his arm around her protectively. He settled her down on the couch before rooting through the DVDs to give her a few options.

"Okay," he said, standing up next to the TV with a pile of DVDs stacked next to him. "We have Titanic, The Holiday, Bewitched, Moulin Rouge, I'll put with with that one especially for you, and my personal favourite, Armageddon," he smiled, trying to hold all five DVD boxes up in his hands, making her laugh.

"Well we have all day," she winked.

He laughed. "That we do. But which first?"

"Humm...The Holiday," she decided.

"Okay then," he said and turned to the DVD player to put in the movie. He grabbed the remote, sat down next to her, put his arm around her shoulders and pressed play.

She smiled and leant in to him. "I love this movie so much," she said, watching the screen closely as the movie started with the party.

"I know," he kissed her hair softly. "I love you Ads."

She looked up at him and smiled. "I love you too."

They sat watching the movie until it ended, and then Derek made her a hot chocolate and put on Moulin Rouge. He'd lost count of the number of times they'd watched this movie together, but he didn't care if it made her happy. He just couldn't understand her supposed love for it when she ended up in flood of tears by the end every time.

He rolled his eyes jokingly and wiped her tears away before putting on the next movie. They stayed like this for all but one of the movies, and when Derek was putting on the last there was a knock at the door. He stood up and went to answer it, leaving Addison with the remote to start the movie.

"Hi, Mark," Derek smiled when he opened the door to his friend.

"Hey, Derek," Mark chimed and walked in past him. He walked to the living room but stopped when he saw Addison sitting on the couch. "Addie?"

She paused the movie and turned to face him. "Hey, Mark," she said.

He grinned widely and ran to her, throwing his arms around her tightly. She laughed and hugged him back. "I've missed you Addie," he sighed and pulled back.

"Good," she winked.

Mark turned to look at the TV. "What're you watching?"

"Bewitched," Addison replied as Derek sat back down next to her. "You can stay if you like."

Mark nodded. "Okay, cool," he said and sat down in the chair next to them. "You know there's a real hot waitress in this?"

Derek laughed. "Trust you to know that!"

"Well I wouldn't want to disappoint you," Mark shurgged. "Press play, Addie."

"Oh yeah," she said and pressed play. She watched as Mark sat engrossed in the movie, and smiled when Derek pulled her into him. She knew it would take time, but soon they'd be back to normal, and that was the way it should be.

A/N: Soooo, reviews? And if you haven't seen Bewitched, the hot waitress is played by Kate Walsh. I had to put that in there lol!
