A/N: Thanks for all the love and support you guys are giving this story. I'm still amazed you all love it. And PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END OF THE CHAPTER. IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFO. Thank you

Fangirl44- Yup, lol. Someone's pissed.

Antoni- Thank you for reading.

alterus- Addison and London are indeed in Seattle and what a way to make an entrance, huh? Archer's message was something I enjoyed writing, I think it's so him. And we'll see with Derek. There's a poll in my profile, so you can vote on it letting me know on that topic.

Echante- Yea, their conversation was fun to write. Thanks for reading.

TXCharm86- You have a very valid point. Why not try something new? With Mark, well, he's at the point where he doesn't like London very much, but I think we'll find out deeply why he doesn't like her on chapter 5. We get a vague hint here though. Thanks for the great reviews and for reading.

greysfan16- I know, right? Damn Shonda and making Addie practically sterile. Anyway, thanks for all your help babe. You know you're basically my pencil. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what the hell to write.

Enjoy!

Settling into Seattle Grace Hospital's pace had been excruciating. Addison was a lot more tired and London was lot clingier because she missed her mommy when she wasn't around. Addison tried her best to spend as much time with London as she could, like when she was doing paperwork, she'd have London in her office in the playpen. She'd talk to London and she'd sing to her, just to give the baby a sense of slight normalcy.

After a month of work, they'd settle on a nice pace that worked well for Addison and London. Derek had kept his end of the bargain and whenever Addison needed to leave a little early, she could. Of course, Addison didn't abuse his deal. If on any day she could put an extra hour of work, she would, if she could squeeze in an extra surgery, she would. She did small things to show Derek that his flexibility with her was worth it because she wasn't abusing it.

Within the month they've been here, Addison found a very nice house for them to live in. It had a big yard, so when London got older, she could install a swing set. The house came with the pool already, so Addison was working on having it fenced for London's safety. The house was rather big for just two people, but Addison loved it the minute she set foot in it.

London's room was the second biggest in the house. The first being of course the master bedroom. She had hired a professional decorator and with London's help, they had chosen a theme for her room. They'd gone with subtle butterfly theme, which London seemed to love. Her room was painted a beautiful shade of light lilac. On the walls were butterflies both painted and added wood ones. London's name was painted on the wall parallel to the crib's side. All and all, the room was beautiful but not overwhelming.

Addison's master bedroom, was painted in a warm sandy color, the wall behind her bed's headboard though, was painted fire engine red. She had white gauze curtains and the black-out ones. Her bed was a king sized bed and the room had sort of a modern décor to it. Not much, but it was a subtle hint. Beach-chic she liked to call it.

It was around three in the morning when Addison woke up to a screaming London. The baby was sleeping all the way through the night as of a few weeks ago, so she figured if she woke up in the middle of the night every once in a while, it was still normal. When she got to London's room, the baby didn't stop crying. Addison picked her up and normally that did the trick, but London just kept screaming. Addison felt her forehead and gasped.

"Baby, you're burning up." Addison said and kissed her daughter's forehead.

She took London back to her bed before getting a cold wet cloth to put on her forehead. She got the thermometer and placed it softly in London's ear. She had a fever of 101.05 degrees.

"London, baby, if we don't get this fever controlled in the next half an hour, we're going to the hospital." Addison said. She hated that her daughter was sick. This was the first time that London had ever had a fever.

Addison tried everything she could think of. Wet cloths, a cold shower (which she took with the baby; no need to make her suffer alone), baby Tylenol. Nothing was working. Desperately, she called Derek.

"It's four in the morning Addison. What is it?" He asked grumpily.

"It's London. She has a fever of 101.5 and it won't go down. I've tried everything, Derek. I've been trying for an hour. I can't control her fever." Addison said as her panic emerged through tears.

Derek was getting dressed as soon as Addison said it was London.

"I didn't know who else to call. Mark hates her, God knows why. Miranda has Tuck this weekend, Callie doesn't know much about babies. And I don't know anyone else. Please Derek, help." Addison cried frustrated.

Derek could hear both mother and daughter's cry. It broke his heart because he knew that London was everything to Addison and not being able to protect her daughter killed Addison.

"Get ready. I'll pick you both up in twenty minutes. Keep monitoring her fever. If it gets worse before I get there, call an ambulance." Derek instructed.

Addison got off the floor and dressed her daughter in a pair of pjs that weren't too covered up. She combed London's hair and then went to get dressed. She threw on a pair of skinny jeans and a Michael Kors t-shirt.. She brushed her teeth quickly and pushed her hair back in a bun. She kept monitoring London's fever, which seemed to be set on staying at 101.5. She made a bag for London and before she knew it, Derek was knocking on her door. She grabbed London and left.

Ten minutes later they arrived at the hospital and London was being taken care of.

A little while later, Alex came back with news. "She's teething. Fevers are normal." He said with a smile. He placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed it lightly.

"I know that. I tried everything I could think of for the better part of an hour and a half to make it go down and I couldn't." Addison said.

"Well, we ran a CBC on her just to make sure everything was clean. Turns out, she had a minor infection, which is why the fever was so persistent." Alex explained.

"Is she alright now?" Addison asked, like any worried mother would.

"Yea. You can go see her now. Oh and you might want to consider buying her those teething cold ring things. They'll soothe her gums and it won't be so bad." Karev said.

"I will. Thanks Karev, for, you know, looking out for my little girl." Addison said before she went off to London's room.

Around mid-morning, Addison woke up and left to go get some coffee. Karev wanted to keep her in for the day to keep an eye on the infection. Addison reluctantly agreed with him. So, while Addison was out, Mark came into the room. He'd heard about how freaked Addison had been last night and the reason why the baby was in the hospital.

When he came in, London was standing up, holding herself by the crib's railing. The pacifier was in her mouth. As soon as she saw Mark, her slate colored eyes crinkled with happiness. London loved Mark. The feeling wasn't mutual, though. Mark thought London was his child.

"How could you not? You have my eyes and I had that hair when I was a kid." Mark spoke.

London reciprocated by speaking her gibberish.

"How can your mother not tell me you're mine?" Mark asked to London, but he was only rewarded with a huge grin and more gibberish.

Mark picked the baby up in his arms, and as much as he hated the child and her mother, he couldn't help but smile at the kid's cuteness.

"I still don't like you." Mark said.

London laughed and her pacifier fell to the floor. She didn't miss it. She loved 'talking'. She touched Mark's face and grinned toothlessly, although her gums were bright red with the impending tooth that any day now would pop up. London grabbed his nose and her slate colored eyes connected with his.

"Dada" London squealed her first word.

"What?!" Mark said before her replaced the child in the hospital's crib.

"What did you just call me?" Mark asked again.

"Da..da" London said slower this time. She was afraid of him because of how he'd reacted.

Mark left the room and didn't look back. London was left alone until Addison came back from her coffee errand. "Hello, princess. You're awake." Addison said with happiness in her voice.

London grinned and lifted her arms to be picked up by her mommy. Addison rolled her eyes, took a sip of her coffee and lifted her daughter out of the crib.

"So, any visitors while I was gone?" Addison asked.

"Dada" London repeated for the third time.

Addison's mouth fell open. She was in shock that her daughter had said her first word.

"London, princess! You said your first word." Addison said happily. Her eyes filled with tears as she kissed her daughter everywhere. London laughed and waved her hands in the air. She loved it when she was kissed. London was spoiled that way.

"Oh my baby, mommy's so proud of you." Addison said and grinned.

That night, after Addison settled London in bed, she was cuddling in bed with a book when she heard a knock on the door. She sighed and put the book down before grabbing her silk robe and tying it around her waist. She went downstairs and opened the door only to see Derek there.

"You're soaked." Addison said as she let him inside her house.

Derek looked at himself and shrugged.

"What are you doing here?" Addison asked.

Derek showed her London's favorite teddy bear. Addison had been going crazy searching for the damn thing.

"Where did you find it?" She asked as she took it from him.

"She left it in my car." Derek said.

"Thank you for bringing it. I'll go give it to her. And I'll bring you a towel." Addison said.

A few minutes later, she came down with a towel, a fleece pair of pants and his very old Columbia t-shirt.

"I thought I'd lost this." He said smirking at her.

"It wasn't an official ruling of the court, but in the divorce settlement I thought it should be included among my things." Addison said and smiled shyly.

"Funny." He said and grabbed her to tickle her.

Addison laughed and tried to get away from him. Mostly because she was out of air, partly because he was still wet and she was wearing red silk for bed.

"Derek, Derek! Stop, I can't breathe." Addison laughed.

Derek stopped and held her by the hips. The one spot he knew would always drive her insane. Addison's breath caught a little and for a moment she began to melt for Derek.

She cleared her throat and said, "I think you should go change now."

She needed to regain herself. She'd been here a month. She wasn't about to jump into bed with Derek, or any other guy for that matter. She had London to think about.

Ten minutes later, Addison was in her bed when the door to her room opened up.

"Christ Derek, you scared me." Addison placed her hand over her heaving chest.

"Sorry. What are you doing?" He asked.

"Winning a NASCAR race, what does it look like I'm doing?" She asked him sarcastically.

"Looks like you're reading a book." He said as he stood by her doorway.

"What do you want, Derek?" She asked tiredly.

Derek had to admit, he hadn't looked at Addison that way in a very long time, but she looked absolutely beautiful. She was a vision in red silk in a sea of white Egyptian sheets. She was sitting with her knees drawn to her chest and her chin resting on her knees. She was positioned right in the middle of the bed. It took everything Derek had not to take her right there.

Just then, through the baby monitor London was heard. Addison sighed and made to get up, but Derek stopped her.

"I can get her." He said and before she could protest, he was gone and into London's room.

"Hey there, pretty girl. What's wrong?" He said as he picked the baby up. She hid her sleepy face in the crook of his neck and grabbed a fistful of his hair. She didn't pull, she just grabbed it.

"I think she just missed you." He said and placed the baby in her arms.

London smiled sleepily at her mother and fell right back to sleep.

"I think you're right." Addison said.

She got up, rocked the baby in her arms and when she knew, London wouldn't wake up anymore she placed her back in the crib. When she got back from the nursery, she saw Derek sitting in the corner of her bed with the TV's remote in hand.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Well, my clothes are wet and it's still pouring outside. I figured…"

"You figured I'd let you crash here? In my house or in my bed? Which is it?" Addison asked, a little angry at his assumptions.

"Your couch downstairs." He said.

"Fine, couch downstairs it is." Addison said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm exhausted and I want to sleep." Addison said.

"Of course." He said and helped tuck her in.

"I can get in bed just fine, Derek. There are spare covers and pillows in the closet next to London's room. Help yourself to whatever you need." Addison said.

It was around two in the morning and Derek couldn't sleep. Addison wouldn't stop hunting him. Everything about her sought him out. Her smile, her look, how she glowed because of her daughter. Everything. Oh and how he wished he could have done something about her in that red silk slip. Why was she wearing red silk to bed? Was she expecting anyone? Surely not if she'd let him crash. He figured that Addison was a sexy woman and she wore sexy things, even to bed.

Deciding it was now or never, Derek got up. If she questioned his motives, which was very likely to happen, he'd tell her he's missed her. He's missed how he felt around her. How easy it is to be with her because she's an amazing person. He'll tell her he wants to rid her of her loneliness and she'll fight him off at first, but then she'll give in. 'She always does.' He thought to himself.

Derek opened the door to Addison's room and she immediately sat up. Even in darkness she could tell what he was after. Tonight, he was hunting for her.

"Everything alright, Derek?" She asked, not wanting to seem rude.

Derek stood in the middle of the room after having closed the door to it. His eyes trained on the exposed flesh of her legs and thighs.

"Come here." He instructed.

Addison gulped, closed her eyes and made a silent prayer to be forgiven for what she was about to do. She could hear the lust in his voice and it was the same one that was making her so weak in the knees. Addison stood up and walked over to him.

Derek grabbed her by the hips and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as they rested their foreheads against the other's one.

Derek began to nibble her ear and then slowly made his way down her neck. Addison had her eyes closed as her ex-husband's hands roamed her body. Her hands laid still against his chest. He trailed his tongue against her collar bone, earning himself a moan. Addison threw her head back to give him more access.

"You're so beautiful." Derek whispered against the curve of her trachea.

Addison moaned again as she lifted her right leg to caress his side with her knee. Derek grabbed her leg from underneath her thigh and gave her a good squeeze. Addison hissed lustfully. She felt Derek's hands on her shoulders pushing the spaghetti straps of her red slip off her shoulder. The fabric pooled around her ankles leaving her chest exposed and only wearing a matching silk panty.

Derek's mouth watered when he saw her naked. Her nipples hardened just by him looking at her and Derek was extremely proud of that.

"Derek" Addison called him. She made him look at her.

"What are we doing? We can't…" Addison began but Derek grabbed her and pulled her flush against him.

"I've missed you." He whispered against her temple as his hand palmed her breast.

Addison but her lip because she was not going to give in so easily.

"You almost married the um… the twelve-year old." She said, trying her best to concentrate.

"But I didn't. I'm right here with you. I want to make you cum all night long." Derek whispered into her ear before her took it between his teeth. It took everything Addison had to not cum right there.

"Let me have you. Let me have you because you can most certainly can have me." He whispered.

Addison gave up fighting her body and just kissed him hard on the lips. She kissed him so hard that by the time air became necessary, their lips were swollen, as was something else.

Derek kissed his way down Addison body. He paid full attention to her breasts, taking his time with each one. He then moved down, kissing every available patch of skin on her long, lean body. Derek reached her center, and blew his breath into her. Her saw the silk barrier become more saturated with moisture as her body writhe where she stood.

Derek hooked his fingers to her panties and was about to pull them down when she a clap of thunder hit. Addison closed her eyes, not out of pleasure but because in the next few seconds, London would be waking up. True to her thought, London awoke screaming just as Derek had uncovered her.

"Derek, stop." Addison said. She needed to tend to her daughter.

He sighed and his breath hit her wet core. Addison looked down at him and offered him an appologetic smile.

"One taste?" He asked and Addison shook her head no.

He kissed the apex of her center which caused Addison to shiver before he stood up and helped raise her panty.

"I think it's best if you leave Derek." Addison said before she pulled the slip back on and headed out the door to her screaming daughter.

A/N2: Ok, I have a few things I'd like to say:

1- Addison isn't a whore, but lets keep in mind she hasn't had sex in seven months (for story purposes).

2- I'm getting a lot of reviews with people asking for either Maddison, Addek or Addison/OC. So I decided to solve that problem. I created a poll. Go to my profile and vote. I have an ending for each of the contestants that are running for chosen Bachelor.

3- Go read my dear friend greysfan16 stories. They're freaking awesome. All of them, trust me.

4- I added a few links to my profile. They're under VISUALS. The photos for chapter 3's bathing suits didn't show, so I posted them there too. Also, I posted a picture of London, and a picture of their house. So, enjoy those.
