Chapter 9
The appointment for the donation of the kidney was a few weeks later. Derek needed all his art of persuasion to convince Addie that they should do the operation in Seattle. It wasn't easy, but finally she gave in, because Derek thought that the best surgeons were in Seattle. Archer and Mark wanted to come with them to Seattle and at this point Derek wasn't really happy, so they made a compromise, Derek and Addison flight to Seattle a week before the operation to do some sightseeing and catch up with Richard and Adele. Mark and Archer wanted to fly there in the morning of the day of the operation, which was late afternoon.
In the morning of the day before the operation Derek and Addison went to the SGH. Derek noticed that his wife was nervous, he hadn't given her the best memories here. He grabbed her hand, kissed her and hugged her tightly, "Don't worry Addie, everything will be fine."
Addison nodded. They entered SGH. A lot of Doctors turned around, they knew that their ex-chief of Neurology had a wife now and that he left her for a while, but they didn't know the reason and everybody was curious, because she was really damn hot.
Meredith Grey, Izzie Stevens, Christina Yang, Alex Karev and George O'Malley were standing on the bridge and watched the couple while they greeted Richard.
"Why did he leave her? She's a really hot chick", Alex added his part to the gossip.
"Don't know … but you're right, she's really pretty beautiful", George answered.
"She's hot O'Malley … I wish she would be single …"
Izzie looked at Alex in disgust, "Is sex the only thing you can think about?"
Alex grinned, "Dunno …"
Meredith looked up, "You're not helping … I can't stand seeing her with him. There must be a reason he left her, he deserves better than her."
"You don't know her, Mer", Izzie told her.
"A bit. I worked with her when she was here last time, she seems like someone, who only looks good, but is really ugly in the inside", Meredith answered, she was really jealous.
Izzie looked at her in disgust, "You know what, you're so annoying Meredith! The last month you only talked about him, he's married for like 12 years. She's not the one, who stole him from you. She's his wife and she's a great doctor. She inspired me. She was the reason I didn't give up med school. I worked, because I wanted to work with her one day and I will go down now and say hi."
Izzie turned around and left the bridge to walk down.
Derek and Addison were about to go to Richard's office. Derek kissed his wife, "Can you catch up with Richard and me in a few, I have some things to talk to him alone."
Addison lifted her right brow. Derek sighed, "Please, I promise you it won't take long and it's nothing terrible. I just want to make sure everything's ready for tomorrow and don't want to stress you." Addison finally gave in and nodded, "Fine, I'll catch up with you in 15."
Derek gave her another kiss, "Thanks. You're the best. See you in a few." He went to Richard's office. When he left Addison heard a voice from behind, "Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd..." Addison turned around and saw a blonde doctor standing in front of her.
Addison smiled at her, "Hello Dr …"
"Stevens", Izzie answered her.
Addison smiled at her, she didn't know why, but she liked the girl. She seemed to be nice.
"Ahm … I was just …", Izzie started to ramble.
Addison saw that she was nervous, "You can tell me that over a coffee. I have some minutes."
Izzie smiled grateful at Addison, "Ok."
Addison and Izzie sat down at the cafeteria. They didn't talk for a while. Finally Addison started to speak, "So Dr. Stevens, you wanted something special?"
"Ahm … I … just … I know this sounds really childish, but I wanted to meet you. You were the person that motivated me to finish med school. I wanted to be able to work with you one day", Izzie blushed a little.
Addison smiled at her, "Thanks, that's really nice, but actually I'm not her to operate."
"Oh …"
"Don't get me wrong, you seem really nice and I would let you scrub in, but I will be operated tomorrow."
"Oh, I didn't know …"
"Yes, Derek and I tried our best to let the gossip spread as less as possible."
"Can I ask you, who will operate you?"
"The Chief."
"Oh … I'm on his service this week … so I think…"
Addison smiled at her, "Good to know the surgeons before, right? So, have you already chosen a specialty?"
"Ahmm … I want to go for neonatal, but this wing here isn't really extended and we don't have a lot of personal here."
Addison looked at her closely, "In Mt. Sinai in New York we have a really good wing … maybe you should think about it …"
Before Izzie could say anything, Addison stood up, "I have to go now. It was a pleasure to meet you Dr. Stevens and I think we'll see each other latest tomorrow in the or."
Izzie smiled at Addison, "Ok, see you then Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd."
Addison turned around, "Call me Addison, my whole name is way too long."
Izzie grinned, "I'm Isobel, but just call me Izzie."
"See you soon Izzie", Addison said when she went away.
Izzie sat there for a while and was like frozen on the spot. Addison was really nice, she really didn't get it why Meredith hated her that much.
Meanwhile in Richard's office. Derek had entered it a few minutes and they did some small talk.
Richard looked closely at Derek, "So Derek, we talked about the weather and your sightseeing. So tell me now what bothers you that much that Addie had to stay outside."
Derek sighed, "Promise me that you won't tell her."
"I hope this isn't about another woman or something like this …"
"No, it's just … if something went wrong tomorrow … I want her to have the kidney whatever happens."
"Derek …"
"No, Richard listen. We talk about the woman I love. She deserves to live and be happy. It's a standard operation, so I don't think anything will happen, but she will die if she doesn't get the kidney very soon. I want her to have mine, come what may. Promise me she will get it."
Richard sighed heavily, "Derek, you can't ask me for this."
"Richard, please. She's the love of my life. Promise me."
"Fine, she'll get the kidney … come what may."
Pretty please review! :D
