Chapter 11: I'm the Only One

-Meredith (VO): True friends are the ones who never leave your heart, even if they leave your life for awhile. Even after years apart, you pick up with them right where you left off, and even if they die they're never dead in your heart.

Addison was in the recovery section of the hospital along with Derek and Alex. They were waiting on some news about the babies. Last they heard, they weren't breathing on there own. Oh how Addison felt guilty: Bringing twins to life too early only to find that they may not live. There was silence in the room.

-"Its two girls," said Derek to try and start a conversation.

-"I know," said Addison.

-"Are you going to name them?" asked Derek.

-"Would you name dead babies?!"

-"Addy, don't think that," said Alex disappointed.

-"What else do you want me to think about? I carried twins in my uterus for 35 weeks and they might be dead. You told me to stay at home and rest and if I listen to what you said, they'd still be in my uterus, and not in the O.R trying to be revived. So really, what else do you want me think about?"

There was a moment of silence…

-"There names," said Derek.

-"I don't what to. When I see them then I'll know what there names are."

Alex wrapped his arms around Addison weak body. Its then, Addison started to sob because she saw Meredith red watery eyes.

-"Its okay," repeated Alex while holding Addison's hand.

-"Meredith!"

-"I'm so sorry… we tried so hard but…"

-"No, my poor babies!!!"

-"Addison… we lost only one."

-"You mean only one survived," said Alex very shocked.

-"She's healthy and breathing on her own but the other, for some reason was too weak to breath on its own… I'm so sorry Addison. I really tried but everybody told me to give up."

-"Can I see her?"

-"Yes, she's beautiful."

-"What will happen to the other baby?" asked Alex.

-"Well…"

-"I don't want to talk about dead one," said Addison.

-"Addy, it will be…"

-"I know. I just want to think about that. I just want to see my baby."

Meredith brought the group to see her premature baby.

-"She's right here."

-"Wow, she really looks like Addy," said Derek.

-"Oh, she's really is beautiful," said Alex pushing Addison wheel chair.

-"Lyra," said Addison, "a good strong name."

-"L-y-r-a, Lyra… It's perfect."

-Meredith (VO): What makes life worth living is knowing that one day you'll wake up and find the person that makes you happier than anything in the whole world. So don't ever lose hope and give up, everything turns out okay.
