Chapter 3

The Ferryboat ride to Seattle Grace Hospital took far longer than Addison had ever remembered. They used to be much shorter when Derek was around. But now without him, her life seemed so much different. And Mark. Well Mark was Mark. He was always there if Derek ever made her feel like crap or if he ever hurt her.

Most of the times Derek had no idea he hurt her, and it was up to Mark to pick up the broken pieces. Last night her and Mark had just talked. They had talked about Derek and their marriage. Addison was pretty sure it was over and she was done fighting for it.

But she loved Derek. And Addison knew that even if her and Derek broke up for good that a part of her would always love Derek. Even after all he had done to her. After all, he was Mcdreamy. She wondered what lame excuse he'd use about not coming home.

She really hoped Meredith Grey was not in his excuse. Even though yesterday Derek admitted his love for her, Addison had a feeling that he still loved Meredith.

When Addison walked into the hospital Alex Karev ran over. He handed her a warm cup of coffee and offered her a bright smile.

"Dr. Shepherd, I was just wondering if I could work with you today? I already got the cases and they seem great. There's a chick here with two uteruses," Alex said excitedly.

"Uh, sure Karev… have you seen my husband?" Addison asked

"Not today. I heard he pulled an all-nighter with Meredith. There was some bus accident and Meredith asked Derek to stay with her. I heard it was a madhouse"

"Thanks Karev. I'll be right back. I just need to change" Addison walked away before Alex could protest. So her rotten husband stayed at the hospital with that slutty intern instead of calling her. He could have at least called… Unless he was having sex with Meredith instead! Addison shook her head. Derek would never cheat on her again… would he?

Once Addison had changed she stepped out of the locker room and watched Meredith Grey walk out of the On Call Room. Addison walked back into the locker room and waited for Meredith to pass. But luck wasn't going Addison's way. The door of the locker room opened and in it stood Meredith. They looked at each other uncomfortably.

"Hey, Addison. I see you're here bright and early," Meredith said trying to be polite.

"I have a surgery this morning. I heard you were up all last night with my husband. Is that true?" Addison asked studying Meredith's face.

"Yeah, the ER was crazy and I needed an extra doctor. Derek was the only one I could find" Meredith said through a yawn.

"Do you know where he is?" Addison asked looking at the door that Meredith had just come out of.

"He's in the On Call Room" Meredith said looking at the ground. Addison noticed that Meredith was avoiding her eyes. There was something Meredith wasn't telling her and she was pretty sure it had something to do with Derek.

"Thanks. See you around" Addison did her best to smile at Meredith as she made her way out of the locker room and towards the On Call Room. What if Derek was in that room right now? Had him and Meredith slept together? She put her hand on the door and pulled down on the handle. Her pager went off. She cursed. It looked like the two uteruses lady needed a C-section. Derek could wait.

"Great job, Dr. Shepherd!" Alex said energetically. Addison gave him a small smile back and headed towards the girls bathroom. She needed to get away from Derek and from everyone at the hospital.

Her thoughts drifted to Mark. Last night he had told her that he loved her. Was he supposed to love her? No, Addison kept telling herself. She was supposed to love Derek and they were supposed to live happily ever after.

But then Derek had gone and slept with Meredith. After her trip to the bathroom she was going to find that husband of hers and confront him about Meredith.

Addison sat on the bathroom floor and silently began to cry. She didn't know why she was crying, but it felt good to let out her emotions. She heard the door open and closed her eyes.

"Please don't be Meredith Grey" Addison said weakly.

"It's Callie. Are you ok? Derek's been looking for you everywhere. Have you been hiding out here all day?" Callie said taking a seat next to Addison.

"No, I'm not ok. And if you see my husband tell him… tell him… I hate him! Tell him that, will you? And tell him I hope him Meredith have a happy life together!" Callie handed Addison a tissue.

"Addison, I'm really sorry. You should go talk to Derek and confront him. Sitting in this bathroom is going to get nothing accomplished"

"You're right Callie. I'm going to go out and find my husband and talk to him" after helping each other up, Callie and Addison left the bathroom together and headed for the front of the hospital.

As Mark Sloane walked into Seattle Grace Hospital many heads turned his way. He smiled and approached the first person that he recognized.

"Hello fellow dirty mistress" Mark said when he saw Meredith.

"Dr. Sloane? What are you doing here?" Meredith asked, shocked to see him.

"Oh, I was in town and I wanted to come and visit my favorite dirty mistress. So are you finally over Derek?"

"Are you over Addison?" Neither Mark nor Meredith answered each other.

"I've got patients. Maybe, I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, I'm not going anywhere for a while" Mark smiled as he watched Meredith walk away. If he couldn't make Addison leave Derek for him, he was pretty sure he'd like to give it a go with Meredith. Mark went on his way walking through the hospital looking for Addison. He hoped he would run into Addison before Derek saw him, otherwise he's have a lot of explaining to do.

Derek had been looking for his wife the entire day. Her cell phone was turned off and her name was not on the OR board meaning she wasn't in surgery. He went outside and was met by a heavy downpour of rain. Then he saw her. Addison was sitting on a bench, soaking wet.

"Addison, what are you doing out here? You're going to catch a cold" Derek tried to help her up but she refused.

"Suddenly you care?" Addison said coldly. Derek's smile disappeared. What had he done now?

"Honey, of course I care. I love you. Do you want to tell me what's wrong?" Derek pushed a lock of wet hair out of her face.

"Well for starters, last night we were supposed to be together. You never called, Derek. You're starting to act like your old self when we lived in New York. Remember how terrible that was? It's starting to happen all over again. And I don't want it too. I don't want you and Meredith to be together. I want us to be together. If you slept with her last night, you've got to tell me. I'm sick of the lies and cheating in our relationship. It has to end now"

"Addi, honey, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you, I never meant to hurt you. I love you. And I'm sorry about last night. Meredith came to me on my way out and told me she needed my help. I was working until around 3. When I got back to the On Call Room, I feel asleep on the top bunk and Meredith feel asleep in top"

"So nothing happened between you and Meredith? I just assumed that you had slept together when she came out of the On Call room and… Oh, Derek I'm sorry. Let's just stop the lies and all the cheating. Please?" Addison asked as she looked up into Derek's eyes.

"As long as I get to spend the rest of my life with you, I'm good!" Derek smiled and bent down to kiss Addison.

A/N Ok there's some Addek for you all. I'll update by Sunday at the latest. Next chapter Derek and Mark will meet… And there might be some Mer/Mark but I'm not really sure.
