Authors Note: Okay! Two chapters in a day! This is pretty good! Chapter 7, WOOHOO! Haha. Enjoy. R and R. Oh, and there will be a little bit of Meredith Grey bashing in this chapter, sorry for those who may like her…
It wasn't difficult to hear the sound of Addison's heel's clicking across the tile as she walked towards them, and it wasn't difficult to know who it was by the sound; they all turned towards Addison and she could hear Naomi sigh in relief when she saw Addison face, but, she just pushed past her and walked over to Meredith whose facial expression turned from surprised to angry.
"What the hell are you doing here, Addison?" Meredith spat at her as Addison stopped in front of her, looking deep into her eyes as a cocky grin crossed her face; she never understood what Derek ever saw in Meredith, she was just downright dark and twisty, her lips were too thin making her eyes look like snake eyes.
At least that is what Addison though.
Addison sighed as Meredith spat at her; "You have no more business in Seattle, Addison; and if you are here to try and win Derek back, you won't be successful."
"You know, I talked to Derek on the phone before I came, which was over a week ago…And he told me that he was single. So, I am thinking that he has been over you for a while; and if I were here to win him back, it wouldn't be much of a challenge." Addison replied, trying to piss Meredith off.
"You have no business here, in Seattle or in this hospital."
Addison let out a slight laugh as she felt the anger rise within her, she took a step closer until their faces were almost touching; Addison looked into her eyes and said, "I am not leaving Seattle, not until my business is done, so, let me make this clear; I am an Attending and the chief of…what do you people call it…Oh, right, the 'vagina squad'." Addison took a deep breath as she felt Naomi's hand on her back as a warning to calm down before she lost control; "I'm not going to sugar-coat this, but I am not by any means threatened by you. And no, I am not here to take Derek from you because he checked out long before I got here."
It was silent between Meredith and Addison for a long while before Meredith looked at Addison, and in that moment Addison knew that what Meredith was going to unleash wasn't going to be very nice; "YOU POISONOUS BITCH! YOU REALLY HAD NO REASON TO COME HERE, DID YOU? YOU DON'T FUCKING THINK THAT I SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING HERE? PLAYING TRICKS WITH ME TO GET ME TO BACK OFF SO THAT YOU CAN IMPRESS EVERYBODY IN THE HOSPITAL? FUCK NO…YOU ARE DOING IT BECAUSE I THREATEN YOU! YOU ARE THREATENED BY ME AND YOU ARE TO AFRAID TO ADMIT IT!"
"Okay, okay…" Violet decided to see if she could calm everybody down. "How about we all just take a deep breath here"
Addison shot Meredith a warning glare, and yet, she continued; "JUST BECAUSE THINGS DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR YOU IN LOS ANGELES DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN JUST COME BACK TO SEATTLE AND PICK THINGS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF! NO! WE HAVE MOVED ON WITHOUT YOU AND WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SHIT WHICH HAS MADE US A STRONGER HOSPITAL! IF YOU KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU RIGHT NOW, ADDISON, YOU WILL BACK THE FUCK OFF AND GO BACK TO LOS ANGELES!"
Addison looked for reassurance in whoever was closest to her, the first person she made eye contact with was Charlotte who nodded at her, giving her the assurance that everything was alright and that they were here if things got too out of hand; "Like I said before, Meredith, I am not threatened by you. My father is one of the best Lawyers in the United States and my siblings are the Chief's of their own hospitals, so, yes…This conversation is over…Or your Medical career is because I have enough of juicy evidence to make a nice lawsuit against you from this conversation." Addison's heart was pounding in her chest as she stood there in front of Meredith; "Sam, Violet…Get Doctor Grey out of my sight right now before I will say or do something that I will regret."
Addison sat down on one of the chairs at the table; she rubbed her temples as a thousand questions ran through her head; Why did she come to the cafeteria? You see, Addison was normally a strong woman and almost never showed her feelings to anyone except for when she was angry. Anybody who knew Addison knew that she had built a massive wall around herself and only one person was able to get inside.
Derek.
She needed Derek right now; even though she knew that he didn't want her back, and that he was just simply helping her because it gave him a fuck buddy, that didn't matter. There were only a handful of people who were able to talk her down when she was freaking out; Naomi, Mark, Derek and Sam. Being back in Seattle, she didn't come to take Derek back, she just came simply for the need to have a child…Okay, maybe a part of her wanted Derek back, but, she knew that was completely out of the question; how could he take her back after what she did to him.
It's not that easy to fix your past.
Especially when you cheat on your husband with his best friend.
"Addison?" Naomi's voice tuned in loud and clear.
Addison just moaned in response as she tried to push everybody as far away from her as possible, it wasn't working. She didn't want to talk to anybody, she had a massive headache from her confrontation with Meredith and probably from her episode in the clinic this morning; that wasn't all of it, there was also the fact that she was now pregnant with Derek's child.
His Mcbaby.
Leave it to Derek to get her pregnant in a week when she had been trying for years.
"Talk to us." Charlotte's southern accent broke Addison out of her thoughts and her head shot up just to look into Naomi's concerned face. Addison sighed; "What do you want me to say? I do not have the energy to yell at you right now."
"How about you start with why you dropped everything to return to Seattle?" Naomi said in her matter-of-fact voice and Addison groaned; "You already know that answer."
"We were worried about you, Addison." Charlotte told her. "It isn't like you to just drop what you have and leave without giving anybody a heads up."
Addison dropped her eyes to the floor as she thought of what to say, of course she knew that she should tell them the truth, but, she wasn't sure if they could handle it just yet. Considering Charlotte's anger when she gets worked up enough and the fact that Naomi is already pissed at her as it is already. "Um…" Addison stared when the door to the cafeteria flung open to reveal Callie Torres.
"I got your 911 page, what's going on?" Callie asked with a concerned look on her face as she walked towards them.
Addison sighed; "Callie. Charlotte and Naomi. Charlotte and Naomi. Callie."
"Nice to meet you." Callie said politely as she shook both of their hands before turning back to Addison. "What happened?"
"Meredith yelled at me and called me some unpleasant things." Addison told her.
"Like poisonous bitch." Mason told her, half amused. He quickly shut his mouth when Charlotte shot him a look.
"What!" Callie yelled as she slammed her hands down onto the table. It was silent between all of them as they tried to think of what to say next, they didn't want to say anything questionable around Mason, so Charlotte took him to get a snack from the dessert bar.
"What happened to us, Nae?" Addison asked out of the blue causing both Callie and Naomi to look at her with confused looks.
"What do you mean?" Naomi asked her as she moved closer to Addison; "What happened to us? We are best friends and I was scared to call you all this time because I thought that you would hate me. I mean, if it was ten years ago, I would have called you everyday…What happened to us?"
"Um. I don't know." Naomi replied as she placed a hand on Addison's arm. "Addie, are you okay?"
"I don't know what to do, Nae. I feel horrible, I'm trying not to blow up in everybody's faces and Derek went to New York for a Conference so now I am stuck in our big house alone, with no Derek and I am absolutely terrified that he isn't going to come back because of what happened when we were in New York last."
"Okay, I'm going to say this only once…" Naomi replied. "He is going to come back because knowing Derek, he won't let you go a second time. Even if that bitch of a Resident tries to keep him away from you. And if he doesn't, he will have Callie and I to deal with."
"She has a point." Callie let out a little laugh.
"And you aren't alone because we are going to have a girls night at your house tonight. Me, you, Vi, Charlotte and Callie if she wants to come."
"Yeah, sounds good." Callie smiled.
"So, you are going to get out of that seat and go treat some patients. We will be at your house for five." Naomi told Addison causing her to laugh; "Is this because you don't have a place to stay?"
"Maybe." Naomi replied with a smile.
"Well, I have some patients to treat, but, I will see you girls tonight." Callie replied with a smile before exiting the cafeteria. Addison didn't know what to say to Naomi; every fiber of her being was telling her to tell Naomi that she was pregnant, but, she couldn't do it.
Even if they were alone.
She didn't want to risk it.
"I missed you, Nae." Addison said, turning towards her friend who offered her a smile in response, Naomi got up out of her chair and approached Addison just to pull her into a big hug; "I missed you too, Addie. Never scare me like that again."
Addison laughed; "Okay."
"You should go, tend to your patients." Naomi told her as she pulled away from their hug just to look in Addison's eyes, "I like that Callie person. She's nice. You did good with her."
