Thank you so much for all your reviews to the last chapter. The only reason I kept on writing are you, because I planed this story in the very first beginning as a one shot, but I'm really glad you liked it so much, because I have so many ideas for this stroy.
I wrote this story for Antonia, I hope she likes it ... and that all of the other readers like it too.

Chapter 3
Derek woke up late the next morning. Addison was still lying next to him and sleeping. Derek smiled. She looked so beautiful when she slept. He knew it sounded a little bit like stalking, but he loved to see his wife sleeping. The sun was shining through the window and it seemed to be a beautiful day in New York. It was beginning December and he knew Addie loved Christmas. Maybe it would snow soon. He smiled by the imagination when Addison saw the snow the first time for this season. He remembered so well their first Christmas season together.
It was early in the morning. It was the 10th of December. Up to now the weather wasn't pretty good and Addison woke up. She smiled. She cuddled close to her boyfriend for now 2 months Derek Shepherd. She smiled. She loved Christmas and couldn't wait that the snow fell down. She stood up and looked through the window and then she saw it. The snow had begun to fall over night. By now the ground was covered by snow and it was still snowing. She smiled and went back to Derek.
"Derek, stand up!"
Derek opened his eyes, "What? What's wrong?"
"Look outside", Addison told him smiling. Derek went to the window and saw the snow, "Addie, it's only snow", when he turned around he saw Addison searching for something warm.
"Please Derek, get dressed."
Derek sighed, "You know I like summer much more …"
"Derek", Addison whined and he couldn't resist, his girlfriend looked to gorgeous, so he gave in, "Yeah, I'm getting dressed."
A while later the two of them went outside, "Where do you want to go?", Derek asked her.
Addison smiled, "I don't care", she swirled around and enjoyed the snow. Derek smiled. Addison looked so happy and he was happy they were together. He really was a lucky guy when she gave in and said she would go out with him. He was sure that she would be the woman he would marry one day. A snowball hit his jacket and he turned around. Addison was smiling like a little child.
"You'll regret that", Derek told his girlfriend and soon they were both covered with snow and lying on the ground. The laughed like children. Derek looked closely at Addison, "Maybe snow isn't that bad."
"Told you and I'm always right", she said smiling.
Derek rolled his eyes, "Yeah … whatever. You're in for a coffee?"
"Of course."
"Then come on little snow-woman."
Derek couldn't help but smile. He stood up and made breakfast, he knew Addison hasn't been hungry lately, so he only made food from which he knew she loved and went back to their bed. He opened the curtains so that you could see the snow falling. She would like it. He sat down next to her and she was still sleeping, but then he noticed something was wrong. Her chest didn't move up and down. He let the tablet with the food fall and went close to her.
"Addie, what..", he turned her around and then he saw it. She pall and her skin felt cold. Derek was shocked, she couldn't be .., there was no way …
"Please Addie, don't do that to me", he whispered quietly.
He grabbed the phone and called the hospital. They told him they will be there in a few. He tried his best to make Addison breathe again, but it didn't work too well.
The ambulance arrived a few minutes later. The brought Addison into the ambulance and they drove to the hospital. They made Derek wait outside. He hated that. He hated that he wasn't able to do anything. He should be inside with his wife. He went up and down.
"Come on Addie, come on. Please don't die … I don't know what I should do without you", he whispered and tears were running down his face. He hasn't cried in years, but now he was, because his wife wasn't breathing and he didn't notice immediately. He just got her back. He knew he was a jerk and normally Derek Shepherd wasn't really religious, but now he was praying to God to let his wife survive, because she made him a better man and he wanted to make everything up to her that caused her pain in the past. The door of the room opened a bit and Derek only heard one of the doctors announcing, "Time of death, 9.27 a.m." and he broke down.
Derek woke up drenched in sweat. It was 5 a.m. He looked to his right and saw Addison lying there. Her chest was moving up and down. He sighed. He only had a nightmare. He looked out of the window and saw the snow falling. He cuddled a bit nearer to Addison and heard her chest moving up and down and her heart beat. He was really relieved that he only had a bad nightmare. He couldn't stand when she would die. She moved a bit and opened her eyes, but he whispered softly, "It's early sweetie, I'll wake you up when it's time." He saw her smile and she snuggled a bit closer to him and fell asleep. Derek could only hold his wife. He didn't sleep again, because he was too afraid that his dream could come true. He saw the snow falling and heard her heartbeat and it was all he needed to be happy for now.
So, I know it was a bit angsty, but I hope you liked it. It would be really great if you review and tell me. Maybe you have ideas what should happen next, because I have a few ideas, but I'm not pretty sure how I will go on with the story.
Thank you so much for reading. :D
