Cristina finished twisting her hair back and clipped it before she slammed her locker door shut. She had just slid on her lab coat and turned around only to jump a little in surprise.

"Jeez!"

"Where's Meredith?"

"She and Alex reached eighty hours sometime this morning when they were in surgery with Callie so after they were done Bailey threw them both out. George and I are the only ones on." She pushed past the attending and headed for the door. Before she left she stopped and turned around. "Don't go to her house. You'll be thrown out by two rather large men. Have a good day Dr. Shepherd."

Addison frowned as Cristina left the locker room. Great. Now what? She sat down on the bench and looked at her wedding rings.

"Addison?"

She looked up. "Hi Mark. What are you doing here?"

"Looking for Karev. I need an intern."

"He's home. He and Meredith finished their eighty hours sometime this morning so Bailey sent them home."

"Wonder if I can have Yang," Mark mused looking out into the hall at where Cristina and George were standing with Dr. Bailey.

"I wouldn't. She's not like Karev. She wants nothing to do with plastics and would not get coffee for you," Addison said.

Mark looked at his ex-lover. "What's wrong?"

"What?"

"You've got the same look on your face the day you told me Derek left. What's wrong?"

"She's pregnant."

"Who's pregnant?"

"Meredith."

"What?"

"She and Derek had prom sex and Meredith is pregnant."

"You wanna kill him or should I?"

Addison laughed a little. "You wanna know the sad part? I'm not surprised."

Mark sat next to her. "You're sure it's Derek's?"

"Oh, yeah. It's Derek's. She never slept with the vet and she's not sleeping with Alex. I heard her and Torres talking. Girlfriends don't lie to each other about sleeping with guys. That's a guy thing."

"Right. So, what happens now?"

"I don't know. I am just so sick of pretending."

"I think we all are, Addie."

"Yeah."

&&&&&&&&&&&

"Derek. I'm glad I caught you."

Derek groaned inwardly as the Chief approached him. He wasn't really in the mood for a chat – one of his patients had decided to be a pain in the butt, Addison was pissed at him, he was pissed at Meredith, and he was still mulling over the fact that he was going to be a father.

"Hey, chief," he said, looking at his watch.

Richard walked over the bridge to Derek, and looked out the huge window at Seattle. "What's wrong?"

"Oh you know," Derek said in a joking voice, though Richard could tell he meant it, "Patients and their stupid questions." He shook his head. "And what is with the women in this hospital?"

"Let me guess," Richard said, frowning, "Meredith?"

Derek threw his hands up in the air. "I'm trying to help and she's not answering my calls!" he exclaimed. "And then, there's Addison. She's not answering my calls either."

"Anyone else?" Richard asked, slightly amused as he watched his top brain surgeon rant.

"Yes!" Derek told the chief. "Bailey!"

Richard raised an eyebrow. "What did Bailey do to you?"

"She threatened to…" Derek paused, frowning, "Cut my…"

"Oh. Oh!" Richard repeated. "I see." He glanced out the window at the dreary day outside. "What did you to make all of them so pissed off?"

"Who says I did anything?"

The chief rolled his eyes. "Does the whole thing have to do with Meredith and a certain prom night?"

Derek frowned. "Maybe…how did you know, anyway?"

Richard gave a short laugh. "I may be old, but this is still my hospital. I know everything that goes on around here, believe me. I am the eyes and ears of this place."

Derek sighed.

"Cheer up. It's not so bad. Addie will get over it, since Mark's in town, anyway," the chief told him, as his pager went off.

Derek watched him walk away. "Just great."

&&&&&&&&&&&

"Cute as he is, I don't think he could pull Rhett's famous look off, Callie," Meredith said to her roommate as the two sat in the cafeteria.

"So, McDreamy's not Rhett?"

"No. He's more the Ashley type."

"You realize that makes Addison, Scarlett."

"Yeah. McSteamy could so be Rhett," Meredith mused. "He could just look at any girl and have that 'I know what you look like without your shimmy' look on his face in a matter of seconds. For Derek that look is reserved for women he actually has seen naked."

"So, if Addison is Scarlett, that makes you Melanie," George said. "That kinda fits since I think McSteamy has a crush on you and I always thought Rhett had a crush on Melanie."

"And who does that make you?"

"Charles."

"Hey!"

Meredith and Callie giggled.

"So, does that make me India?"

"For the movie yes but if we're going by the book, you're Honey."

"What the hell are you guys talking about?"

"Gone With the Wind was on last night," Alex answered Cristina.

"Oh dear God," Cristina groaned.

"So, who does that make Alex?"

"The Tarleton twins. Both of them."

"Hehe."

"I'd never do that to you Mer."

"Do what?"

"Go out with the enemy," Alex smirked.

Meredith smiled, "Thanks."

"Hey, neither would I," George protested.

"You not only went out with the enemy, you married her," Meredith teased.

"So, who does that make me," Cristina asked.

The table all stared and then George ventured, "Suellen?"

"She did have the older beau."

"Right up until Scarlett stole him away."

"And Preston does like Addison more than he likes a lot of female doctors."

"Yick. That makes me Addison's sister."

"And Izzy's. I think she'd make a good Carreen."

Meredith sighed. "Thanks you guys. I really needed a pointless conversation to take my mind off of everything."

The table smiled and then beepers started to go off.

As they all walked out of the cafeteria, Cristina turned to Meredith, "Hey, who does that make Bailey?"

&&&&&&&

"Is this seat taken?"

Alex looked up from his lunch to find Derek standing beside him with a tray full of food from the hospital canteen. "Uh, no," he said, because even though he have much rather liked to sit by himself and told the attending to shove it, he figured that wasn't really polite.

"Thanks." Derek sat down and smiled awkwardly. "So, I hear you've moved into Meredith's house."

Alex groaned inwardly, thinking that of course McDreamy wanted to talk about that. "Yeah, I have." He frowned. "Why?"

"Well, I…" Derek shrugged. "How's it going?"

"It's good." Alex picked up his sandwich and took a bite. "Is there any thing else you wanted to ask me?"

Derek sighed. "How is she?"

Alex would have told him to ask her himself, but then he remembered that the attending was out of favour with Meredith. "She's fine. She's coping."

"Huh." Derek nodded. "So, uh, that's good? Everything's good? She's good, so that's good."

Alex was trying to figure the sentence out, since the frequent use of the word "good" had left him confused for a second. "Yeah." He looked at his watch. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go." He quickly got up and left the table.

&&&&&&&

"Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd?"

"Dr. O'Malley," Addison greeted the intern. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm assigned to you today. Dr. Bailey took Alex and Cristina with her to a conference downtown and Meredith is assigned to Dr. Burke."

"Oh. Right. Okay. Well, today's pretty quiet, so if you want to see if you can't get reassigned to someone else, I don't mind."

"I could use a quiet day, so if you don't mind I'll stick around."

"Okay. Hangover?"

"What? N-no. Uh, Cristina, Callie, and Meredith were on speaker phone with Meredith's cousin last night for over two hours and for some reason they had to have the conversation in the hallway."

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Delinda's getting married and she wanted to consult with the girls about some things."

"Oh." Addison fiddled with her pen for a moment and then looked at George. "Who's her doctor?"

"What?"

"Meredith. Does she have a doctor yet?" Seeing George's hesitation, "Look, I know it's none of my business but I am a doctor and I just want to know that she's taking care of herself because I know she hasn't made any appointments with anyone on staff here."

George nodded and spoke, "A friend of hers from Vegas set her up with an OB/GYN on staff at UW Medical Center. She comes highly recommended."

Addison nodded. "I'm sorry for asking but I know she's not talking to Derek and I just want to know that she's not trying to punish him in any other way than silence."

"Meredith's fine, Dr. Shepherd. You know, if you don't mind, I think I'll go see if Dr. Torres has anything going on today."

"Good idea."

George walked away and Addison sighed shakily. Meredith was keeping the baby. For some reason knowing that made it easier to know that Derek would be getting the divorce papers sometime today.

Because she was done. She was done trying. She was done closing her eyes to the fact that her husband wasn't in love with her. She was just plain done.
