DISCLAIMER- I don't own anything related to Grey's Anatomy.

Chapter Three.

Derek had gone to get a nurse, the two came back to Addie's private room no more then two minutes later.

"Hello, Dr Shepherd, How are you feeling?" The nurse asked her, while writing on her chart.

"Sore." Addison replied to the nurses question.

"Ok, well there will someone from maternity coming down to see you shortly to give up an ultrasound." The nurse informed her.

"No, I want Miranda Bailey to do it, please?" Addison asked the nurse, who went pale at the doctors words.

"Of course Doctor Montgomery-Shepherd right away." The nurse replied, going off to page the physician.

Derek just looked over at his wife and gave her a small smile of reassurance.

"You ready for this?" Derek asked her, using his thumb to rub the back of her hand.

"No." Addison replied as her mind wondered.

Addison's Dream

Addison was sat in a park in lower downtown Seattle as she watched the mothers and their children play like they didn't have a care in the world, their shoulders free of burdon and faces lit with happiness. A smile passed her lips as she turned her head to a very familiar sound.

"Mommy, did you see me? Did you see what I did?" The four year old asked, excitedly.

"Yeah! baby I saw what you did, you are so strong to climb all that by yourself!" Addison praised the mini version of herself.

"That's what daddy says too, mummy!" The four year old told her mother.

Addison was about to reply to her daughter's statement when suddenly the scenery changed.

"Carson?!" Addie called out to her child, but got no response.

"Carson, this isn't funny. Get back here this instant!". Addison yells for her child again.

Addison begins to stir from her nightmare to realize that she's in a hospital bed.

"Addie, honey it's alright, I need you to calm down for me, Come on breathe. That's it, great job." Derek encouraged her gently.

"S..S..SS..She was right there I saw her. Derek. She was right there, I swear! she wa..".Addison trailed off as she realized that she wasn't making any sense.

"Who gone Addie?" Derek asked his wife in concern.

"The baby, it's gone." She sobbed into his chest.

"Addie, honey look at me."Derek gently instructed her.

"We don't know that ok, look there is Miranda now see? She's just there. She going to check for us". Derek told her.

"Montgomery, you ever think of doing that to me again, me and you will be having serious words. You hear me? Now, how are you feeling?" Miranda asked as she entered the room.

"Like crap, are you doing the ultrasound?" She asked her friend brushing away the rest of the her tears.

"Yes I am, and you know me like a dog with a bone." The pair laughed at this despite the seriousness of the situation.

Careful of the incision that was on her chest, Miranda slowly lifted her gown up and applied some gel onto her abdomen before putting the scanner over the gel and waited for image to appear on the screen.

An agonizing two minutes passed with nothing.

"Miranda, what do you see?" Addison asked her friend.

"Give me a second." Miranda told her, focusing on the screen

"Miranda, what is it?". Derek asked in frustration.

"Did your mother ever teach you manners, Shepherd?" Miranda glared at him.

"Did my mother what?" Derek asked her confused at her statement.

"Well can't you see I'm trying to concentrate, yes well then keep that canned, nasty". Miranda ordered him, not told but ordered him.

"Miranda, please." Addison pleaded with her friend who looked at her with expression that was unreadable.

"There was a lot of damage and it wa..." Miranda didn't get to finish her sentence as her friend couldn't take any more and not caring that she was a world renowned surgeon she did the one thing she thought she'd never do-breakdown.

"Addie, darling you need to calm down you've just had madure surgery. Honey, come on I need you to breath for me." Derek told her bringing her tightly into his embrace, all the while not ashamed to let the tears slide down his own face.

"Guys, I need you to listen to me." Miranda said quietly, feeling like she shouldn't be there at such intimate and emotional moment.

Addison and Derek slowly looked up at her as she slowly turned the monitor so that it was facing them, the Shepherds stared at the monitor with an expression awe on their faces.

"I was just double checking I wanted to make sure I was correct I'll give you a moment." Miranda told them and left them room.

"That's the most...most." Addison couldn't think the perfect word to finish her sentence with.

"Beautiful, most beautiful thing in the world you have ever seen." Derek offered her.

"Yeah beautiful, what a perfect word." Addition echoes emotionally.

"Twins, who would have thought it, I know the chances increase with age, but it's still a shock." I Addison tells her husband.

"I know." Derek replies to her question just as Miranda comes back into the room.

"Over the shock yet?". She sarcastically asked the couple in front of her.

"Ask us in eighteen years time." Derek chuckled at her.

"Now down to business, you need absolute rest. Addison Ii mean it girl, you hear me, Shepherd?" She asked her sternly.

"Yes Dr Bailey." Addison replied to her friends question. .

"Addison I'm serious!" Miranda reprimands her.

"Miranda, I know honestly no one could want these babies more than we do." Addison tells her.

"And you'll look after them?" She asked Derek, all the while glaring at him.

"Yes ma'am." He sailutes her.

"Well. okay. Then I'll leave you to it." Miranda tells them as she leaves the room.

Addison, for the next week were going to be hard on them but if they could survive this then they could survive anything, for the first time in a long time Addison Montgomery- Shepherd fell asleep with a smile on her face.
