A/N: I've had this written on paper for ages but I've been pretty busy with school and stuff recently so I haven't been able to update. Sorry. Oooh has anyone seen Enchanted yet? I went to see it last Saturday (it's only just come out over here) and I loved it. Patrick Dempsey's so hot in it!! A movie with him AND Idina Menzel, wow. So great, if you haven't seen it you should go!

Anyways this is another one of those one-shots. Set in season three sometime, Addison and Derek are split but he never went back to Meredith. I made up the names for Derek's mother and sister, by the way. It wasn't beta-ed cuz I didn't want to wait, so sorry for stupid mistakes. Hope you enjoy. Please review.

"Dr. Shepherd, there's someone at the front desk for you," Derek looked up when he heard one of the nurses behind him.

"Okay," he nodded. "I'll be right there."

He sighed and closed the file he was working on. He wondered who could be asking for him, someone who couldn't just come and find him. Knowing his luck, it'd be another one of his sisters coming to moan about how much he'd messed up his life. He stood up and walked out of the door, finding the elevator and riding down to the front desk. Just as the bell rung and the doors opened, he took a deep breath to prepare for who he'd see.

"Derek!" He heard a familiar woman's voice and smiled to himself.

"Hey, Mum," he smiled and hugged her.

"How are you, Derek? You look tired?" Judy Shepherd asked.

"I'm fine, being a doctor is a lot of long hours," Derek replied.

"Well, I'm not here for that, anyways. We were clearing out the house a few weeks back and found some of your old stuff. And I was planning to take a trip up to Canada for the weekend so I thought I'd drop the stuff off," she smiled warmly.

Derek nodded. "Okay. Do you have this stuff with you or are you going to drop it off later?"

"I have it now," she said, picking up a box from the floor and handing it to him.

"Thanks," Derek peeked into the box but Judy stopped him.

"Wait until you get home," she told him. "I'll leave you to work now."

"Okay, thanks for the stuff," Derek replied and hugged her again.

"Bye love, take care of yourself," Judy smiled before walking out of the main entrance.

Derek looked down at the box, wondering what could be inside it. And why his mother hadn't mentioned Addison at all.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Collapsing on one of the on-call room beds, Addison closed her eyes trying to get some sleep. It'd been a long day and all she wanted to do was relax in peace. However, as usual it wasn't that easy. She cursed to herself as her phone began to ring, and she flipped it up tiredly.

"Hello?"

"Addison! How are you?"

Addison sat up quickly, both surprised and happy to hear the voice. "Judy?"

"Of course, love. Now I need your help with something," Judy said.

Addison rolled her eyes but smiled. "What's that?"

"Well I gave Derek some things earlier, and, well I want you to be there to look through the things with him," Judy said hesitantly.

Addison paused to think. "I don't know what good that'll do."

Judy sighed. "Just go and see him, Ads, you know I'm always right about these things."

Addison shook her head, realizing Judy was right. Okay, fine, but I'm not making any promises."

"Thank you," Judy replied. "See you soon."

"Bye," Addison said and hung up the phone. She had no idea what Judy was up to, but she knew there was no way she'd get out of it.

Pulling up at Derek's trailer brought back memories of the months she'd spent there whilst they were working on their marriage. She could still see the scene of her sitting waiting for him for hours at Thanksgiving. She shook the image out of her head and opened her car door. Something inside her was screaming not to carry on walking, but after everything in her past she chose to ignore it.

She walked across the grass and up the steps, a nervous feeling forming in her stomach. She saw a light on inside but couldn't hear voices, so she was sure Derek was alone. She knocked and stood back, waiting.

After a few moments, the trailer door opened and her eyes met Derek's. He looked surprised to see her, but not angry, which she was thankful for.

"Addison, hi," he paused. "What are you doing here?"

She shrugged. "Your Mum called me. Said she gave you some things and that I should be here when you sorted through them. You know I should just go," she turned around, regretting her decision to come now.

"No, wait," he grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. "Just stay. I was about to start looking through the stuff, you can come help me," he smiled to her.

"Okay," she gave in.

He pulled the door further open and let her walk in. The familiar smell of the trailer hit her, and she felt comfortable. She inwardly cursed herself for thinking this was anything more than 'sorting through things'. She glanced around, remembering the time when she lived here with him, and thought about the few good times they'd had. He walked into the bedroom where the box was set down on the bed, and she followed hesitantly.

"Are you sure this is okay?" She asked.

"Of course it is. Sit down and i'll make you a drink," he motioned to the bed.

"Okay, thanks," he replied, taking a seat.

A few minutes later he came back in with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate, which he set down on the table beside the bed. He grabbed the box and tipped its contents out and sat down next to her.

Addison grabbed one of the smaller boxes and opened it, smiling to herself as she felt Derek look over her shoulder. She swallowed hard and focused on the photos in front of her. Lifting out a small pile she saw images of her and Derek one Christmas at the Shepherd's house.

"That was Abby's first Christmas," Derek pointed to the picture, referring to his sister Alice's first daughter.

Addison nodded. "Yeah. The house was crazy that year," she smiled at him.

"It really was."

She turned back to the photos, now flicking through some other Christmases and family birthdays. Every now and then she'd smile or laugh, remembering the day well. She passed the pictures onto Derek, who also laughed as he recalled some of the random events his family had had in the last few years. Thinking to himself he noticed how happy he looked in the ones with Addison, how much his face lit up when he looked at her or she was near. As much as he hated to admit it, he missed those times. Life had been so much simpler then, and he missed feeling so secure and happy as he used to when she was in him arms.

"Derek," she said, breaking into his thoughts. "Look."

He took the photo she was holding from her hand and looked at it. He took a deep breath when he saw the picture of him and Addison together, just moments after he'd proposed. Her arms were around his neck and his around her waist. They both had wide, cheesy grins of their faces and he could see the ring on her finger. He stared at the photo for a while before taking another deep breath and turning to face her. She was looking at him, chewing her lip nervously. That was one trait about her that he could never resist, the way she chewed her lip, and he still found it irresistably cute.

He moved his hand over to squeeze hers gently. "I'm sorry, Addie," he whispered.

She gazed into his eyes, finding it hard to breathe with his hand on hers and his close proximity. Even after everything, she still felt breathless around him. They gazed into each others eyes for a few moments, maybe a few too many for a divorced couple, until she broke away.

"Anyway," she shook her head and carried on looking through the pile of old things.

"Yeah," he said quietly, taking a few seconds to tear his eyes away from her.

They carried on in silence for a while, passing photos back and forth as well as old items. 'So much for getting off lightly,' Derek thought to himself. He hadn't expected his mother to do this much to remind him of Addison. Compared to this, Nancy had been a walk in the park. Still concentrating on the photoes he tried to remember great times like these he'd had since they'd split or with Meredith. But he realized it was too hard as there were no 'great times'. He'd lost those when he lost Addison. And, right now, he'd give anything to get it all back.

"What's this?" He asked, holding up a tape.

She shrugged. "No idea. Shall we watch it?"

He nodded. "Sure." He stood up and walked over to the TV and video player, pushing the tape in and grabbing the remote before sitting back down beside her.

"It doesn't have a label either," she muttered, looking at the case. "Press play then."

He pressed play and set the remote down beside him. As the tape began played he realized what it was and glanced at Addison. "Do you really want to watch this?"

She turned to face him. "I'll be fine." Truth was she probably wouldn't be fine, she was sure she'd end up crying and that would ruin the evening. She watched as the picture flicked to Derek, all smart and dressed up but nervous looking, standing at the end of the aisle. Mark stood next to him chatting, but Derek's attention was focused on somewhere different. The camera flicked around to Addison, who wore a long, beautiful white dress. Her red hair was gently curled and loose around her shoulders. She smiled at Derek and began walking down the aisle towards him.

Addison pulled her legs up close to her chest and sighed. She didn't really want to watch any more of the video but her eyes were glued to the screen. She missed being as happy as she was there. Missed how good it felt to have someone who loved her so much by her side.

Derek glanced down at what his hand had just touched. He frowned when he saw a small piece of paper. He picked it up and saw his mother's handwriting scribbled across it. 'You know what to do,' it read. He looked over at Addison who had tears down her face but was still engrossed in the video. He shuffled his body across towards her and put his arm around her.

"I miss it so much," she whispered.

"I know," he said, pulling her into him. "Me too."

"God, Derek, I miss you," she sobbed against his chest. "I'm sorry but I love you."

He smiled and kissed her hair gently. "I love you too."
