Seattle Grace Hospital
As Derek was getting ready to change out of his scrubs, he got a 911 page.
"Shit!"
After getting the MRI results, he knew it was going to be along night.
"Dr. Bailey, I need an intern to scrub in with me. ER patient needs surgery now."
"Okay, Grey and Karev, go!"
"No, I only need one. Karev, let's go!"
"No, no. You take both. I have no use of them right now."
"Fine."
"Hey, you wanna grab a drink?" Callie asked Addison.
"Can't. My patient is being stubborn and she won't agree to a C-Section so I have to stay here to make sure she and her baby lives.
"Sucks."
"Tell me about it."
"So, what's up with you and Derek? Are you getting a divorce are you together?"
"What do you mean?"
"A while ago? Lunch at the cafeteria? He went all jealous, protective husband on you. I'm surprised the man didn't drop dead by the way Derek was looking at him."
"I have no idea what that was all about. It was weird and confusing."
"He didn't look confused to me."
"What? Spit it out already!"
"Fine! He's still in love with you. The way he acted in the cafeteria a while ago? I think it's sweet!"
"You, Calliope Torres, reset bones for a reason. You're not a shrink." Addison smirked at Callie, picked up a chart and left.
The surgery was over. Derek and Meredith are both scrubbing out. Meredith looked at Derek, he doesn't look her way. Realization dawns upon her face.
"Oh, you're staying with her."
"Yeah, she's my wife. I'm sorry."
Addison is standing by the nurse's station reading a chart. Exhaustion clearly etched on her face. Derek looked at her, his heart was racing, his palms are sweaty and his stomach has butterflies. He smiled at himself, after all these years she still has that effect on him. Hell, she probably has that effect on most men in the hospital.
"Hey, you look exhausted."
"I could say the same to you." After the cafeteria moment and talking to Callie, Addison is one very confused woman. Her husband is talking to her, she can finally see the concern behind his words again. But she already gave him the divorce papers, she's just waiting for him to sign and she can finally move on with what's left of her life.
"Let's go home, Addie."
He used her nickname, Addison can't help but think where he's going with this? Has he not done trying to break my heart?
"What?"
"Well, you're my wife right? So let's go home. Go home with me."
"Are you sure you're not forgetting something here? Like the word divorce or the name Meredith?"
"I don't want a divorce, Addie. I want you to go home with me."
"And Meredith?"
"I'm not in love with her. I thought I was but really I'm in love with you. This whole time I've been in love with you."
"You call me satan, Derek. Satan."
"You are Satan. You're my wife. You're an adulterous bitch and you're the love of my life. Eleven years, Addie that's eleven anniversaries, thanksgivings, birthdays and Christmases. I was indifferent, I was absent and I drove you away but I'm not giving up on us. I am partly to blame for what happened but we're Derek and Addison, are we gonna stop being them because I sure as hell don't want to. I'm still in love with you. So, go home with me." Derek said holding out his hand.
"Have I told you how much I loath that trailer of yours?"
"But I love that trailer, it's home. It's our home."
"Do I look like someone that lives in a trailer?"
"Shut up and take my hand already." Derek said smirking.
"Fine." Addison trying to hold her smile and taking his hand. Together they walked out of Seattle Grace Hospital as Derek and Addison, the perfect couple.
