Chapter 9

„What are you doing here?"

„Do you know where your daughter is?"

"What are you …"
"She's at a friends house, but you … you got my baby sister pregnant … again … and then you leave... again … you're unbelievable. Where is she?"

"She's asleep Archer and we should let her sleep", Mark told him before the whole situation could escalade.

Archer glared at Derek, "Don't you dare … show me her room Mark."

Derek glared at Archer, "She's my wife."

"You are lucky she fell in love with you all those years ago. I still don't understand what she sees in you and I really hope that that makes her realize that she and Ami are better off without you. You left them back in New York. You didn't even look at her and you are damn happy that you had Mark, because every other man would have tried to get into her pants a lot earlier."

Archer left and Derek stood stunned in the hospital`s hallway. He hated Archer's words, but he was right. He had treated Addison like shit. He didn't look at her for months. The same applied to Amelia. In this moment he promised himself, that he would become a better father and a better husband if Addison gives him another chance after all that he had pushed her through.

In this moment Alex Karev came up to Derek, "Dr. Shepherd?"

"Dr. Karev."

"Your daughter called me, she's at a friends. You want me to pick her up?"

Derek sighed. He didn't trust anyone around Amelia, but he knew that Alex and Amelia had formed a friendship and he thought that maybe he could calm her better than he could.

"This would be nice Dr. Karev. I'm sure her mother wants to see her when she wakes up."

Alex nodded and left. He heard what happened and he was really sorry for the Shepherd`s. He arrived at Hannah's house a few minutes later.

Hannah and Amelia came downstairs and opened the door. Amelia hugged him, "Hey Alex."
"Hey little sis", he hugged her. Then he looked at her friend. He was stunned. He didn't know whom exactly, but this girl reminded her of someone. Amelia noticed his look, "Oh, Alex that's Hannah, Hannah that's Alex."

"Nice to meet you", Alex smiled at the girl.

"Nice to meet you too", Hannah told him.

Alex really tried to remember, whom she reminded him so much, but he didn't get it yet. "Ami, we should leave. You gave your dad a real shock by disappearing."

"I don't think so."

"Ami, listen, he was really miserable. Let's go to the hospital, by the way another man is there. I didn't hear his name, but he seems furious."

"Really?"
"Yeah, he didn't seem to like your dad."
Amelia counted one and one together, the most people liked his dad, "Uncle Archer's there?"

Alex smiled at her, "You'll see, because I don't know him."

"Your uncle Archer is there", Hannah said suddenly.

Amelia looked at her stunned, "How do you know?"

"When you were asleep I grabbed your phone and called your last contact, because I wanted your dad to know that you're ok, but I didn't know which contact was your dad, so I accidentally called your uncle."

"Oh", Amelia hugged Hannah, "thanks Hannah."
"You're welcome. You call me as soon as you can."
"Sure. Thanks for letting me stay."

"You're my friend."

Amelia smiled at her, "Thanks. Alex, we should go. Bye Hannah."

Alex smiled at her, "Ok, bye Hannah."

"Bye."

Alex and Amelia left. The ride to the hospital was silent, when they reached the car park Amelia looked at Alex, "Is he mad?"

"Your dad?"

Amelia nodded. "He was really worried about your mom. She kind of kicked him out of her room."

"Oh", was all Amelia said. They went inside SGH.

Meanwhile Addison was awake again. Derek was sitting next to her bed. He saw her waking up, "Hey Addie."

Addison looked at him. She was still mad.

"I was thinking …", she said quietly, "maybe Ami and I should go back to New York with Mark."

Derek looked at her in horror, "Addie, don't do that to me."

"But …"
"Listen; when you were lying there I noticed it. I was jerk. I'm sorry that I left you and Ami alone and I know Mark was a better husband to you than I have been the last year, also he was a better father for Ami. I want to make it up to you Addie, to you and to Ami. I love you. I love you so much. I'm still the same lucky jerk, who fell in love with you in med school. I never thought you could fall for me too, but you did and we created Ami. You two are the best things that ever happened to me. Please believe me, I want to be the guy you fell in love again."

Addison looked at him, "Derek, everything is so fucked up."

"I know, but we can make it right again. We're Addison-and-Derek."
"You said we weren't Addison-and-Derek anymore this night."
"I know I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please Addie, forgive me, because you are the love of my life. Meredith was just … she was the Anti-Addison. She is nothing like you. One last chance, I beg you Addie. I would fall down on my knees if you wanted me too."
Addison looked at him, "No, don't do that."

Derek smiled at her, "I knew you would say that."

"You know me like no one does, not even Mark", Addison looked at him, "Ami and I will stay, but only if you're willing to give me … us … our marriage a real chance, because I love you too much for my own sanitary and are totally in this."

"I'm in this too Addie. We're in this together."
"Yeah", she smiled weakly at him, "sorry for not telling you, you would be a dad again."

"It's ok. We can have another child if you want one."

"I think I`ll need a bit time to get over this."

Derek kissed her forehead, "Ok, I understand this."

"Thank you Derek."
"By the way you're brother's here."
Addison smiled at him, "Archer's here?"
"Yeah, I only got into your room, because he was hungry and went to eat something."

Addison smiled at him and grabbed his hand, "So, he still doesn't like you."

Derek rolled his eyes, "Don't like is much too less. He hates me and I think he hates me even more than before."

Addison smiled. Derek was happy he made her smile again, "I promise you something like this will never happen again. From now until the day I die I will be by your side."

Before Addison could say anything Archer entered the room. He didn't notice yet that Addison was awake, "Shepherd, didn't I tell you I don't want you in my sister's room." He looked at him furious.

"It's ok Archie", Addison told her brother.

Archer looked at his sister, "You're awake."
"Yeah, I woke up a few minutes ago. It was good that Derek was here."

Archer kissed her temple, "How are you feeling?"

Addison shrugged her shoulders, "Ok, a bit empty, but I think that's normal when …", she noticed she couldn't say it, couldn`t say that she had just lost her baby. Derek noticed the little tears in her eyes and took her hand, "It's ok, you don't have to say it Addie."
"But it's the truth, nothing more or less."
"Yes, but you don't have to say it. Just take your time."

"Can you … where's Amelia?"

Amelia entered the room before Derek could say anything, "I'm here mom. You feel a bit better?"

Addison smiled at her daughter. She was really the best thing that ever happened to her besides Derek. She was the perfect mix of her and Derek's features.

"I'm getting better honey", Addison looked at her daughter.

Richard entered the room, "I heard my star surgeon just woke up."
"Hey Richard", Addison was still a little bit weak, but tried her best to smile at him, because she hated it to be weak and didn't want other people to notice.

"We need to do a few post op examinations."

Addison looked at him, "Ok."

Mark was standing in front of the hospital when Meredith Grey wanted to enter the building.

He saw her and smiled at her, "Hey."

"Hey. Do we know each other?"

"You must be Meredith Grey. My goddaughter told me about you."
"Ok and you are?"

"Oh sorry, I didn't want to be impolite. I'm Mark Sloan."
Meredith looked at him. There was no way this could be Addison's affair, because she couldn't have slept with two brilliant and good looking surgeons. Izzie told her what she heard earlier. She told her that he was good looking, but she didn't think that he was looking that good.

Mark noticed her look, "So, I think you heard about me."

"Yeah. Izzie … Dr. Stevens told me about you?"

Mark nodded, "Oh yeah."

"Shouldn't you … I don't know … be somewhere else?"

"No, I couldn't stay in there."

Meredith looked at him stunned. She didn't know what happened.

"You didn't hear it right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Mark sighed, "Addison lost her baby."
Meredith was stunned, "She was pregnant?"
"Yes, she was."
"Was it …"
"It was his. He didn't know about it until now. I was the only one she`s told. She wanted to tell him this night … back in New York."
Meredith guessed what he was talking about. "Oh", was everything she managed to say.

"Yeah, he left and she didn't get the chance to tell him. She didn't tell him when she was here, because she said she didn't want him to take her back only because of the baby."

Meredith sighed. She tried to hate Addison, but this was really difficult, because she was a brilliant surgeon and saved so many babies and now she felt really sorry for what happened. She knew it was time to let Derek go, because he had a family. A wife, a daughter and she couldn't stand to be the other woman. Mark looked at her and guessed her thoughts, "Yeah, it's really difficult to hate one of them."

Meredith looked at him stunned. "I was in your position too many times, but she loves him and he loves her and this will never change. They are in love since they saw each other in med school and no one or anything will change this, because they are Addison-and-Derek. They don't split."

Meredith nodded, "Yeah, I guess so. I just thought …"

"Yeah, I know …"

"I think I should go in, because my shift starts in a few. It was nice to get to know you Dr. Sloan."
"Call me Mark."
Meredith smiled, "Meredith."

"You know even if you weren't what he wanted; he always had a good taste in women."

"Thanks. See you around Mark."

"See you around."

Meredith entered the hospital. Meeting Mark was a bit strange, but he was pretty nice. Meredith was still stunned that Mark was looking THAT good. She didn't know what she expected him to be, but he was really sweet … and his smile. She sighed and went into the locker room to change.

Mark also entered the hospital again. He knew Derek still hated him and that was ok. He knew Derek could never really hate Addison, so it was ok with him that he didn't hate her. He was standing in Addison's doorway for a while. He nearly laughed, because three men were caring about her. Derek and Archer were fighting about the best treatment. Richard was talking to Addie and Amelia. He nearly left, when he heard Addison's voice, which was quieter than usually, "Marky."

He smiled at her and entered the room, "Hey Adds, how are you feeling?" He noticed Derek's look and it wasn't really nice, but he didn't care, because he also cared for Addison. She and Ami were like family. The day Amelia was born; he started to be her uncle Mark. He remembered that day like it was yesterday.

"It hurts too much", Addison was crying in pain.

"Addie, you're doing great. Come on babe, our little baby wants to get out of you now."

"Derek!"

Derek grabbed her hand, "Come on, you can do this Addie. I know you can."

Addison nodded. She was in labor two weeks to early. Derek and Mark went with her. Mark stayed outside, because he knew Addison didn't want him to see her in so much pain.

A few hours later a little perfect baby girl was born. Meanwhile it was 5.34 in the morning.

"She's perfect", Addison whispered.

Derek smiled at his girlfriend, "Yes, she is."

They were totally happy.

"Derek, you can get Mark now."

Derek nodded and went outside the room. Mark was still waiting. He was looking up when he saw Derek. He looked at him questionably.

"So, boy or girl", Mark asked Derek, because Addison and Derek decided that they wanted it to be a surprise.

"It's a perfect little baby girl."

Mark laughed, he and Derek said all the time that they wanted him or her to be a boy, but secretly he hoped that it would be a girl.

Derek laughed, "You hoped so too, right?"

Mark laughed, "A second little Addie … not a bad image."

"Yeah, it's a pretty good image. You want to come in?"

"Addie's ok with this?"
"She asked for you."

"Ok."

Derek and Mark went inside Addison`s room together. Addison smiled at them, her boyfriend and her best friend. She was grateful that she had them.

"Hey Adds", Mark kissed her cheek, "heard you had the perfect baby girl."

Addison smiled at him, "Hey Mark, you want to hold her?"

"Of course", Derek was handing Mark the little baby. He fell in love the moment he saw the little girl. She was smiling at him even if he knew it wasn't possible that early, he would have sworn she was smiling at him, "You decided a name?"

"Yeah, her full name will be Amelia-Serena Naomi Savannah Montgomery-Shepherd."

"Wow, that's a pretty long name. Let me guess, Naomi and Savannah will become her godmothers."

Derek and Addison smiled at each other, "Yeah", Derek told him, "but don't tell them, because they don't know yet. By the way we wanted to ask you to be her godfather."

Mark smiled brightly, "You want me to be her godfather."
"Sure", Addison smiled at him.

"Of course, but I'm a little disappointed you named her after Nae and Savi, but you didn't name her after me."

Addison rolled her eyes and laughed, "Get outside, both of you. My daughter and I need to sleep."

Mark kissed her temple, "Sleep well", then he kissed the little girl that was in Derek's arm again on her temple too, "Sleep well little peanut."

Derek laid the girl back in Addison's arm. He kissed Amelia on the top of her head, "Sleep well Amelia." Then he kissed Addison, "Sleep well, Gorgeous."

They went outside. Mark looked at Derek, "She's pretty cute. You did a good job there."

Derek laughed, "Funny. Come on, let's go and eat something, because Addie went into labor before we managed to eat yesterday."

Mark smiled. He was happy for his best friend. He never saw him that happy. They made each other happy and even though he knew it would be difficult to get through med school with a baby, they would manage this, because they were Addison-and-Derek.

Meanwhile Miranda Bailey entered Addison's room and noticed the "crowd" that was standing around Addison's bed. She nearly had to laugh, because except Amelia there were only men: Derek Shepherd, Archer Montgomery, Mark Sloan and even the Chief were there.

"You get outside, because she really needs to sleep."

They all sighed and left.

"Night Adds", Mark smiled Addie.

"Night little sis", Archer smiled at her too and Mark and he left the room.

"Sleep well Addison", Richard smiled at her encouraging and left.

"Night mommy", Amelia kissed her mother on the cheek and left the room. Addison had to smile; it was a long time since her daughter had called her mommy the last time.

"Sleep well, Gorgeous", Derek kissed Addison and left with Amelia the room.

Addison was looking at them. She knew Amelia was mad with him, but she hoped that they could sort it out. She just lost her baby, she knew that, but she seemed to get her husband back. Maybe it was finally becoming brighter for them and they could go back to what they were again.

So, what do you think? Liked it? Didn't like it? Please review and make me happy and when I'm happy I go on writing soon. ;)
