Hey guys,

it's been a while since the last chapter. Today I sat (again) in the train and wrote the new chapter on my little purple netbook (I really love it … it's so cute).

So I hope you'll like the chapter.

Also I was thinking about the length of this story and I think it won't be that long anymore. I think about 2 up to 5 chapters. I'll think this over.

So here's chapter 10 and I hope you'll enjoy reading it and I would be so happy if you review.

Oh, BTW, I write a story together with BadassGenius, it's called, "When you really love someone", it's also an Addek-story, even if it doesn't seem that way in the beginning, check it out if you haven't done it by yet, it's so much fun to write with her together.

So a big thanks to all my readers and especially the ones, who review, you make me go on writing.

Now, the long AN is done … enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 10

The next day Addison was nervous. Derek smiled at his wife, he saw the nervousness in her eyes. He hugged her more tightly, "Everything will be fine Adds, when you wake up you'll have a new kidney."
Before she could answer him Izzie entered the room, "Drs. Shepherd, are you ready?"
Addison tried to smile at her, "I think as ready as we can be."

Izzie gave her an encouraging smile, "Everything will be fine …", but she didn't manage to continue because two men stormed into the room, "Are we too late?"
Addison and Izzie looked at each other and had to smile really hard. Derek looked at his wife, seeing her laughing made him happy. When Izzie and Addison managed to stop laughing, Addison told her, "Ahm Izzie, this is my brother Archer and … Mark. You both idiots are really late, but not too late, this is Dr. Stevens by the way."

Archer kissed his sister on her temple, "Sorry, the plane was late … it really wasn't our fault."

Mark stepped at her bed and kissed her temple too, "Your brother is right, we planned everything and only the fucking plane was late."

Addison smiled at them, "Don't worry, you're in time and also you can't really do anything."

Mark sighed. She was right. He knew she was right, but he couldn't stand leaving his two closest friends alone during this operation. He went over to Derek, "Are you ready man?"

Derek nodded, "It's a good day to donate a kidney."

In this moment Dr. Richard Webber entered the room, "Wow, you are pretty popular, it's really crowded here."

Addison smiled at him, "Hey Richard."

Derek looked at him, "Addie's the one who's so popular. I'm only with her."

Richard laughed, "I expected so. Seems like some things never change. But now Archer, Mark, you have to wait outside. We will bring these two in the or now."

They nodded and said goodbye to the Shepherds. They went to the waiting room. They both hated that, but they knew there was nothing they could do. Addison and Derek were brought to the or. They laid next to each other. Addison smiled at Derek and he took her hand.

"I love you Adds."

"Love you too. See you in a few."

"See you in a few."

In this moment Addison's anesthesia started to work and she was asleep soon. Also Derek was asleep a few seconds after his wife.

When Derek opened his eyes again, he didn't know where he was for a moment. After a few minutes he recognized and saw the patient's room, he laid in. He looked next to him. Mark and Archer sat there and Addison laid in the other bed. She wasn't awake by now. Mark noticed Derek was awake, "Hey Derek. How are you feeling?"

"Ok … I mean I don't feel like jumping around, but I think this is normal after an operation. How's Addie?"

"She's still asleep."
"How went the operation?"

"Derek, Richard should tell you …"
"Mark!"

"They had a few problems with the transplantation, but in the end Addie's body accepted the new kidney."

"Was it bad?"
"Dunno … Richard didn't tell us much …"
In this moment Richard entered the room, "Derek, good you're awake."
"How's my wife?"
"She'll be fine Derek. It was a bit trickier than we thought it would, but everything went good. Let her sleep a little bit longer, she needs some time to regenerate. She'll be awake soon."

Derek nodded, he was glad everything went good even if it was a bit trickier.

Derek looked at Archer and Mark, they looked exhausted, "You know what, you should go to the hotel and sleep a bit." He looked at a clock, it was already 11 p.m., "I'll take care of Addie and you can be back tomorrow morning."
Archer didn't see too pleased by Derek's idea, so Derek looked at Mark and hoped her would take his side. Mark looked at Archer, "Archer, Derek is right. Addie will be fine and Derek's here. We should go to the Archfield and sleep a bit."

Archer, who had sit by his sister's bed since she was out of the or finally nodded, "Ok", then he looked at Derek, "Take good care of her. I'm serious about that Shepherd."
Derek nodded, "I will. See you in the morning."

Then Mark and Archer left the room.

Derek laid there for a while and looked at Addie. He hoped she would be awake soon. He closed his eyes for a while, because he was really exhausted and he didn't want to sleep but at least rest a bit before Addison would wake up, but he felt spied after a while. He opened his eyes and saw Meredith standing in the door, she didn't except him to be awake.

"Ahmm … I … hey Derek."
Derek only nodded.

"How are you?"

Derek shrugged his shoulders, "I think ok", he looked at her closely. He didn't understand by now why he had been together with her. She was the Anti-Addison. Maybe it was that. Maybe he was together with her because she was nothing like Addison. He was really lucky he had his wife back.

Meredith misunderstood his look and thought he would still be in love with her and he regretted to go back to his wife. So she went over to his bed. Derek looked at her wired, because he didn't get what she was doing and why.
Meredith sat down at his bed, "Derek I … I miss you."
Derek looked at her, "Ahm Meredith I don't think …"
"Shhh …", she put her finger on his mouth and leaned in and kissed him. Derek was too shocked to recognize for a moment, but then he did and stopped her, "What do you think you're doing?"
"Kissing you."
"Stop this. I DON'T want this. They only woman I want to kiss is my wife."
"But I thought …"
"You thought what?"
"That you maybe would regret going back to her…"
Derek laughed, she couldn't be serious about that, "I donated her a kidney a few hours before. I love her more than I can ever tell and you should go now. I never loved you. You were just … you were the Anti-Addison. I needed this for a short while, but she's my wife. She's my home. I'm married to her and I was damn lucky she said yes, when I asked her to marry me, because look at her. She's so beautiful, I really don't deserve her, she could have anyone, but she fell for me", Derek looked at his wife, "Now, go out! I don't want you here!"

Meredith was too shocked to say anything, she left the room. Derek looked at Addison, he remembered the day when he asked her to marry him.

Derek was nervous like never in his life before. He would ask her tonight. They would finish med school in a few months and start internship. He had prepared everything, he just waited that she would come home. They lived in the apartment that Addison owned. It was a great apartment with a big terrace on the roof. A while later Addison came home, she had a stress day, she had a lot of lessons and after that she was in the library to learn for the final exams. She entered Derek's and her flat, "Derek …", she shouted, but he didn't answer her, so she went to the kitchen. There laid and envelope, she opened it and in there was a card on which was written in Derek's hand writing, "Bedroom", Addison sighed, maybe the night would be good. She went to the bedroom, but Derek wasn't there, but there was a beautiful knee-long dress in deep purple lying on the bed with another envelope with a letter in it "Wear me". Now Addison was really curious what Derek was planning, so she went inside the dress, went to the bathroom to let her hair down and look at her reflection. Derek really had a good taste. She looked good at the dress. She saw another envelope next to the mirror, she opened it and it was written, "Roof terrace". Addison went there and really hoped Derek would be there, because she now had enough of his little game. When she stepped outside, she was like frozen on the spot. Their rooftop was decorated wonderful with a lot of candles and a table with all of her favorite food. Derek was standing next to the table in a tuxedo. He smiled at her. She went over to him, "Have I missed something? What is this all for?"
Derek smiled at her, "Did you have a good day?"
"A lot of stress."
"I thought so. I wanted to surprise you", he leaned in and kissed her, "Are you surprised?"
"Yes, it's so beautiful."

"Thanks. You know I planned to ask you that after dinner, but I think I can't wait anymore."

Addison looked at him curious, "Ok … so what's it?"

He kneeled down and Addison's eyes went even bigger than they were by now, he took her hand, "Addison Adrienne Forbes Montgomery, I'm the luckiest guy I met you and also you agree to go out with me. I fell for you the moment I saw you. I love you, I love everything about you. I love your red hair and how you put it behind your ear. That makes me go crazy. I love how you want to become a good doctor, how you smile, how you sleep, … I love everything about you and I'm the happiest guy that I can call me your boyfriend. But I want more now. I want to spend my life with you, I want to be your husband and because of that I ask you know: Addison Adrienne Forbes Montgomery, will you do me the honor and marry me?" He pulled out the ring and looked deep into her eyes.

Addison was speechless, she needed a bit time to recognize what was happening, "Yes Derek, I would be honored to be your wife."

Derek stood up, put the ring on her finger and swirled her around, "Addie, oh my gosh, you don't know how happy you make me. I love you, Mrs. soon-to-be Shepherd."
Addison smiled at him, "I love you too, Mr. Shepherd."

Derek looked at his wife. He had to smile at this memory. It was such a wonderful night. Addison was still asleep. He hoped she would wake up soon.

That's it. Again with a little flashback … couldn't help it. I hope you enjoyed Derek's proposal. I know it was maybe a bit cliché, but I liked it and I hope you liked it too.

Make me happy and pretty please review.
