Chapter 10

A/N: Alrighty, sorry, I wanted to update sooner but I was on Easter break but in between training my horse and working I didn't even take my laptop out (poor thing was all dusty).
BUT here you go!

Addeklover: It won't be done with talking in a while, but for now you'll have to read through some make outs and… you'll see (:

DeneuveYSL: Thank you!

Alterus: Yeah, I thought Savvy would be really fun to write and she was

Smurfy: Their talk was probably really good for Addie ^^ but I'm not really a psychologist so I'll see where I'll take it (:

Mumuu: I think I should have a kid now to raise her and see within a few years whether she's like Gracie ^^ Juuuust kidding, me and a kid would be weird right now :-p

Leigh: Soon-ish… She can't be ready right now… There has to be a lot of talking and all those things before she would be able to have sex with him without balling in the middle of it

Aiketi: Thanks! There'll be some more Savvy in later chapters, I think.

Deslil: Well, she will make him wait and since he's such a sweetheart he would do everything for her hence he'll wait (: Which character would you like to see?

Monique: Don't worry, it's very hard to upset me :-p Thanks, I tried to get them a little closer but as usual I figured they shouldn't have sex yet.

Ceu Mesquita: They're very comfortable with each other, thankfully. But like I said they have to be to have sex and to have a functioning relationship

Carly: I may let them have actual phone sex ^^

J0k3: Sometimes you realize why there are so many teen pregnancies :-p they get sluttier and sluttier every year… Thank you!

He can say 'sex', mommy!

"Sweetheart, Derek isn't going to the zoo with you today." Addison tried to explain to her daughter, seeing her pout. "You went there yesterday."

"But I still wanna go now." Grace was holding her zebra close and gave her mother her best puppy dog look.

"How about you call him then?" She sighed, hating to tell her daughter no, which probably was why she was a little spoiled now.

"YAY!" Grace squealed, taking her mother's cell phone.

"How about you let me dial honey..." Addison took her phone back, dialing Derek's number.

"Afraid he may say something inappropriate when he sees your number?" Savannah whispered to her friend, a smirk on her face.

"You just hush." She gave her a look. "Hi, Derek, Gracie wants to talk to you. You should know that you can tell her no." She passed her phone to Grace.

"Hi Derek!" Grace squealed. "Can we go to the zoo?"

'Honey, I would love to but we have just been there yesterday.'

"But I want to see the zebras again."

'Did your mom never tell you that good things come to those who wait?'

"Hmm... That sounds like it makes sense." Addison was astonished, how in the world did he do that?

'So how about we go somewhere else next week?'

"You're awesome!"

"Stop telling him that all the time, he's already starting to believe it." Addison rolled her eyes.

"Bye!" She smiled and then handed the phone over to her mother. "He wants to talk to you."

"Thanks honey. Hey..." Addison noticed that everyone was looking at her and then walked out of the room to have at least a little privacy.

'I'm sorry I didn't call last night.'

"Oh, don't be. So, why did you want to talk to me?" She sat down on the sofa.

'Well, to apologize for not calling and to hear your voice.' Her heart melted when he told her that, a smile appearing on her face.

"You're so sweet."

'I know, happens when you grow up with four sisters.'

"When do you start tomorrow? Because I'd like to have lunch with you."

'I start at nine, as usual. It's great not to do rounds on a Monday.'

"So true, but are you ignoring my question?" Addison raised her eyebrows, she knew he couldn't see her but it was just reflex.

'Yes, I don't want to have lunch with you.' He rolled his eyes, laughing. 'Of course I want to eat with you, but not in the cafeteria.'

"Well, that's very much possible." She smiled.

'I'll see you tomorrow.'

"Hmhm, looking forward to it. Bye' Addison hung up her phone and walked back into the kitchen. "Stop looking at me, it was about a case."

"Mommy, we should totally cool if you and Derek would get married..." Grace had pondered this for a while; sure that it was a good solution.

"What? Honey, why would we get married?" Addison looked at her daughter, her eyes brimming with tears. She hadn't even thought of getting married ever again and needless to say she was surprised and a little shocked that her daughter had.

"Because you were so much happier with daddy and now you're happy again and aunt Savvy said something about you needing to have sex and for that you have to have married for that. At least that's what you always tell me."

"You really shouldn't listen to everything aunt Savvy says." Addison sighed; she was amused about what her daughter had said. "I am happy with Derek, but that doesn't mean we are getting married..."

"Mommy..." Grace looked up at her before she moved to hug her mother. "I love you."
"I love you too, so much." Tears welled up in Addison's eyes once again, Gracie reminded her so much of Christopher that it almost broke her heart.

After a few minutes Grace pulled back. "You're late for work." Addison laughed, kissing the top of her daughter's head. "Bye, honey bee."

"Bye mommy!" She waved, watching her mom walk out, Gracie still thought Derek could make her happy again but at least she had agreed...

"Karev, patient, now." Addison ordered, watching the intern jump up rather annoyed. "If you have a problem, please just share it instead of acting so passive aggressive." She gave him a look, clearly not happy with his behavior.

"You know, for a woman this hot you sure can act rather bitchy." He saw the pissed off expression on her face. "Sorry..."

"How is it to walk without a spine, Dr. Karev?" Addison walked off, expecting to walk behind her.

"How is it to be sleeping with a colleague?" He mumbled, rolling his eyes which widened when she turned around. Alex usually wasn't afraid of anyone but there was something about her that always made him shudder.

"I like you, Karev." She gave him a quick smile, glancing over her chart again.

"Like you like Shep-"

"You just need to sense when you should stop." Addison cut him off quickly, seeing him nod.

"Mommy!" She smiled when she saw her daughter approach.

"Why aren't you with Richard?" Addison picked her up and kissed her cheek, making the little girl giggle.

"He told me to play and that's what I'm doing." She saw her mother's raised eyebrows. "Well, he didn't define 'play'." Grace looked over at Alex. "Why does he look so mad?"

"He's very unsatisfied with himself and his actions." Addison explained with a smile.

"Why are you unsatisfied?" She required, tilting her head to the side.

"I am satisfied, I just had-"

"Karev! This is my six year old daughter you're talking to!" Addison gave him a look, she couldn't believe he would have said... well, that!

"He can say sex, mommy." Grace watched her mother's face drop in pure and utter shock.

"That's it; you are not watching 90210 anymore."

"That's not fair!"

"Yes, it is. Now, you go back to Richard and you better actually go there." She told her daughter sternly, eyebrows rose.

"Okay... Bye Dr. Karev." Grace waved at both of them before she walked back towards Richard Webber's office.

"She's pretty cool." Alex laughed; the look on his boss' face had been priceless. "She's not as prude as you are."

"She's like my husband." And with that Addison walked into her patient's room.

"Whoa, you're married?" He had to realize that she was already talking to the patient.

"Elaine, this is Dr. Karev. Karev, this is Elaine Weeks, she's nine weeks pregnant with quadruplets, which is why she's here." Addison introduced.

"Was that your daughter, Dr. Montgomery?" The blond woman asked. She was probably in her late thirties or early forties, but Alex had never been good at guessing games.

"Yes." Addison nodded with a smile on her face.

"You and your husband must be so proud." Elaine smiled as well, but then watched her doctor's expression change.

"My husband passed away almost a year ago. But he was very proud of her." Addison swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat, quickly going on with the medical blabla to get her mind off things.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Montgomery." Alex said while she was filling out charts, his gaze fixed on the floor. How come that in a hospital filled with gossip about everyone that no one had known about her husband's passing.

"Don't be." She looked up at him, giving a slight smile. "Just keep this to yourself, please?"

"Of course. But I'm still sorry, that must have been hard..."

"It still is, but getting away from New York really helped." Addison got up to have lunch with Derek. "You're a pretty decent human being, Karev, no matter what everyone may say."

"And you're not as scary as I thought you were." He grinned at her; maybe he did like this attending, her being hot only added to that.

"Hey you." Derek kissed her softly after checking if they were alone. "How is your patient?"

"Hi." She smiled at him, so glad he was there. "She's good and my daughter needs to lay off the cable TV."

"Why? What happened?" He chuckled, very curious.

"Well, she asked why Karev looked mad, I said because he was unsatisfied and he started saying that he wasn't unsatisfied because he had just and then I stopped him and Grace told me that it was okay if he said sex." She summed up; still not really grasping her little daughter had said something like that. Addison rolled her eyes when Derek burst out in laughter, clutching his stomach as he couldn't breathe properly anymore.

"And you think that's all this funny. She also told me that aunt Savvy said I need to have sex. With you, just by the way." Derek stopped laughing, looking at her.

"Hmm, I knew that would get you to shut up."

"She said that?" He cleared his throat.

"No, she just said that she overheard aunt Savvy say that I need to get laid. Not in those exact words. Are you ready for lunch?" She raised her eyebrows, her fingers twisting around the material of his lab coat when she pulled him a little towards her body.

"Yep, but we need to get up." Derek led her towards the staircase.

"Up where? There is an elevator, you know." Addison hated stairs, especially when she was wearing heels, like today.

"We can't get up to my destination with the elevator and you didn't have to wear shoes like that. They look painfully uncomfortable."

"Shh, they can hear you, Derek." She gave him a look, those were her favorite shoes.

"They are just shoes." He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, causing her to shriek in slight shock.

"Derek! What are you doing?" Addison giggled, holding onto his waist, slightly scared he might fall backwards and on her.

"Carrying you, after all you are a little spoiled." He padded her butt, opening the door to the roof and then set her down. "Now, isn't that better than in the cafeteria?" Derek kissed her softly, finally alone with her.

"Much better, but tell me, where's my food?" They sat down on the ground, her legs now over his lap.

"Right here, my dear." He took a star bucks bad out of his lab coat pocket and a coffee cup next.

"Thank you." Addison smiled, kissing him before taking a sip of her coffee. "Vanilla, you're good." She shifted so she was now sitting in between his legs, her back against his chest.

"I know I am." He moved her hair to the side in order to kiss her neck briefly, fingers intertwining with hers. She took a bite from her bagel, looking at Seattle.

"It's all so peaceful from up here." She sighed softly. "Do you come here a lot?"

"Yeah, whenever I need to get away from the stress downstairs." He took a bite from her bagel, which she had offered to him. "How's your friend?"

"Pregnant." Addison smiled. "I'm doing her sonogram after lunch."

"That's great, is she considering moving to Seattle? I mean, it's a great city."

"Oh, you're funny." She laughed, knowing he hadn't been so serious about it either. "No, her and Weiss, her husband, are staying in New York. They have a practice there."

"Doctors?"

"No, lawyers..." Addison paused for a little. "I miss New York."

"Where are you from originally?" He ran his fingers through her hair, smiling at how the sun made it appear lighter than it was.

"Connecticut." She turned her head to look at him. "Can you tell?"

Derek chuckled at her answer, he had already guessed that. "Yep, you really fit in there. Except for the horseback riding, tennis playing and the country club."

"Well, I did have a horse growing up but she died and New York isn't the place for a horse... I don't play tennis and am not a member of a country club. I just don't like pearl necklaces combined with tennis skirts and a sweater on my shoulders."

He laughed at this; she had just described the perfect country club stereotype.

"Where are you from? Midwest?"

"How did you know?" No one had ever guessed that, at least not on their first try.

"The accent... A little at least. But where from exactly?"

"I'm from a little town close to Wichita."

"Aww, that's so cute! You're from Kansas!"

"What's so cute about Kansas?"

"Nothing," She shrugged her shoulders, still smiling at him. "It's just cute that you're from the country."

"Uhuh." He rolled his eyes, moving his lips to hers and kissed her tenderly.
