2 weeks later.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" Derek said quietly as he approached Addison in the library, pointing to the seat opposite her on one of the tables.

"No, no go ahead" Addison smiled.

"You're in some of my classes, right?"

"Yeah, Addison Montgomery" she said, holding her hand out.

"Derek Shepherd" he shook her hand lightly.

"Yeah, I know" Addison smiled, Derek raised his eyebrow a little with a small smirk "Not for any reasons that'll boost your ego" she laughed quietly.

"I don't have an ego"

"Please, everybody knows you and that Mark guy spend your spare time looking for girls" Addison smirked.

"Hey, hey don't judge me based on the company I keep" Derek laughed, holding his hands up a little, Addison laughed and shook her head.

"Sshh"

They both turned around to see one of the librarians glaring at them, they quickly turned back and looked down at their books.

"So" Derek said quietly "You want to be a surgeon? Or…"

"Neonatal and OB-GYN" Addison smiled.

"Wow, you already know your specialty, all I know is I want to be a surgeon"

"Sometimes people don't know until they have to know, I just, know" Addison shrugged "You'll know one day"

"I guess so" Derek said with a small smile.

"Hey, who's the chick?" Mark asked as he sat down in the chair next to Derek.

"Y'know it would be polite if you asked me" Addison said as she rolled her eyes "I'm Addison, and I'm leaving" she said as she stood, putting some books into her bag and picking up the others.

"Wait" Derek said quickly "Don't, don't leave because of him"

"I'm not" she laughed "Honestly, I have somewhere to be, I'll see you around Derek"

"See you around" Derek nodded, Addison walked away and Derek turned to Mark and glared.

"What?" he said defensively.

"You can forget me being your wingman tonight" Derek grumbled.

~x~

"I'm home" Addison called out as she walked into her apartment, she put her coat on the hook by the door and kicked off her shoes, walking into the living area "Hey" she smiled at Sam who was cooking in the kitchen "That smells amazing"

"Hungry?"

"Starving" she sighed, she put down her bag full of books on the sofa and stretched her arms out a little "How do we have so much work already?"

"I know" Sam sighed "It's crazy, but it'll be worth it"

"I'm sure it will" Addison smiled "Now where is my girl" she smiled, walking over to Katie's play pen and scooping her up, Katie giggled and laughed as Addison kissed her "I've missed you sweetheart, I can't wait to spend all weekend with you, I'm sorry I have to be at school so much honey"

"But Mommy is going to be the best baby doctor in the world some day" Sam smiled "And you will be so proud Katie"

"Sam" Addison said with a quiet laugh.

"You will be, I know it, so stop torturing yourself everytime you have to leave her for a few hours"

"I'll try" Addison smirked, naturally rocking side to side as she held Katie close.

"Dinner is served" Sam smiled as he put the food onto some plates "And I have a nice snack for Katie before her bedtime milk"

"Come on pumpkin" Addison smiled, she settled Katie in her high chair before giving her the snack Sam had plated up, she then sat down and Sam walked over to the table, putting their plates down.

"Thank you" Addison smiled.

"No problem"

"So, I talked to that Derek guy today" Addison said with a small smile before taking a bite of her food.

"Yeah? What do you think? He seems like a nice guy right?"

"Yeah, yeah, he does" she nodded, the smile not leaving her face.

"Oh" Sam laughed "You really do think he's a nice guy"

"So we flirted a little" Addison said quickly "But, well it doesn't mean anything right? It's just, flirting"

"Hey, hey I'm not judging" Sam said holding his hands up a little "He's a good guy"

"We need to tell people soon" she sighed "We're making all these friends and, they should know the truth now"

"I agree"

"So we'll tell them soon"

"We'll tell them soon" Sam smiled "And you know I wouldn't mind"

"Wouldn't mind what?" Addison asked.

"If you dated Derek, or anyone, as long as whoever you date understands that Katie comes first, I think dating is a good thing, for both of us, don't you agree?"

"Yeah" Addison smiled "I guess I just, well I didn't really date before Katie, what if I'm an awful girlfriend?"

"Don't be stupid Addie" Sam laughed quietly "I've put up with you for what, 6 years?"

"Oh shut it" Addison laughed "I've had to put up with you too, I don't think a day goes by where I don't find smelly socks down the sides of the sofa"

"But I cook you food"

"True" she smirked "So, so we're open to, dating then?"

"We are" Sam smiled "I've been talking to your friend Naomi, I was thinking about, asking her out for drinks"

"Oh" Addison said with surprise "I didn't even know you'd met"

"We both reached for the same book in the library and got talking…"

"That library really gets some action" Addison smirked "Well, I say go for it, she seems really nice, and I'm sure you turned on the charm"

"I'm always charming" Sam smiled proudly, Addison rolled her eyes a little and laughed.
