Alrighty, here is my next chapter; the focus for this one will remain on the same people but after that I am going to start adding in a little more to do with Meredith and Derek so I hope you're excited. I don't own Grey's Anatomy.
Surprises
Addison had now been out of her coma for almost 24 hours. Derek had thoroughly checked her over, making sure there was no permanent brain damage, which thankfully there wasn't and she was now enjoying a little sleep. Her family couldn't have been more relieved when she had woken up and spoken, it hadn't been much, a mere hello before she fell asleep but Derek and other doctors came to the conclusion that she would definitely make a full recovery.
Christy Shepherd stood in the doorway of her mother's room, content to just watch her sleep peacefully, but of course a rounding nurse had to disrupt her. Addison's eyes fluttered open when the nurse entered her room and began bustling around adjusting her IV and such. When the nurse finished and left Addison noticed her daughter standing in the doorway and she smiled at her. "Hey mommy."
"Hey," Addison replied, weak and groggily. Christy slowly walked into the room, fearing that if she moved to suddenly something would go wrong.
"How you feeling?" Christy questioned as Addison tried her best to move over in the bed enough to make room for Christy.
"I'm doing alright; head's a little sore but nothing unbearable. I'd feel a lot better if I had my little girl in my arms though," she said and Christy cautiously climbed up onto the bed beside her mother and settled into her waiting arms. They sat in silence for a moment before Addison looked down, noticing silent tears falling down Christy's cheeks. "Baby what's wrong? I'm fine now, there's nothing to worry about," Addison asked, stroking her daughter's dark brown wavy hair.
"I know," Christy sniffled, "but we almost lost you…twice…mommy I was so scared and I felt so bad…if you would've died it would have been my fault…I couldn't have lived with that."
"Oh Sweetie," Addison said, pulling Christy even closer, "It wasn't your fault, it wasn't anybody's fault…it was just one thing that led to another and another…don't be upset, I don't blame you." Mother and daughter sat, holding each other and crying for a long time and then they both fell asleep.

Some hours later, Addison woke up and found that her daughter was no longer snuggled in tight to her chest. She looked around the room and saw Mark sitting on the couch in the corner looking at a patients chart. He felt someone watching him and he looked up, smiling at Addison. "Where's Christy?"
"She went home with Derek; she needed to have a good rest in her own bed before she finally goes back to school in the morning. She told me to tell you that she'll be back in the morning with Derek before school and she loves you," Mark racked his brain and repeated exactly as Christy had told him to, causing Addison to laugh a little.
"So she's ok with you then? Wow, how long have I been out?" Mark laughed at her comment.
"Well, it has seemed like years to me and to her but it has only been about 3 days," he replied, "her and I are good though, great actually and it's a long story so don't even ask."
"Oh, well alright," Addison sat back a little confused but decided to drop the subject. "So why are you looking at a patients chart Mark?"
"Well, that would be because she is my patient, I signed a contract with the Chief this afternoon, I am officially a surgeon of Seattle Grace," Mark responded proudly.
"Oh, why?" Addison questioned, surprised.
"I can't live without you, I'm miserable without you Addison, and you weren't going to come home with me so I thought might as well come here to you."
"Oh." An awkward silence filled the room as both adults thought about what Mark had just said. I think he may actually be in love with me, Addison thought. I'm in love with you Addison, Mark thought, but now wasn't the best time to tell her that so he kept it to himself and instead mumbled something about checking on a patient and he left the room.
GAGAGAGAGAGAGA
The following morning Derek woke up and rolled over, expecting to find his girlfriend there to wrap his arms around, but the bed was empty. He rolled back over and looked at the clock, the alarm hadn't gone off yet, why was she out of bed, she usually stayed in bed every minutes she could. He sat up and thought he could hear strange noises coming from another room so he worriedly got up and rushed down the hall to the bathroom. When he opened the door he found Meredith on her knees throwing up into the toilet, her face was white and her hands were shaking.
He immediately went to her side, grabbed an elastic off of the counter, tied her hair back and wet a washcloth for her forehead. When she finished, she fell back onto Derek's waiting lap and he rubbed her back and placed kisses on the top of her head. "Derek," she finally spoke.
"Hmmm?"
"I think I'm pregnant."
And it ends there for now, I changed the focus a little earlier that I had planned.
