Well, last chapter... so sad, I know! I think that it turned out pretty well for my first fanfic... a slow start, but I did get alot more reviews at the end, so that's good! We still have a bit of a ways to go to get 115, but I believe in you. I started school on Wednesday, so updates will probably be less often on the sequel, but I think my writing has gotten better over the past... 53 pages! Holy Cow! That's alot!
I hope that this fanfic has been more satisfying to you Addex fans than the actual Season 3 was. I mean, making out it a NICU? "You're not my girlfriend"? OOC in my opinion, so I wrote this. And this is the season finale. Which, as you know, means... CLIFFHANGER! Which is why you want a sequel. Which is why you will give me one last review.
This is probably slightly rated M, but I think it's appropriate for anyone over the age of 13, so whatev.
I hope you savor this chapter. It could be the last.

Holy mother fucking shit, where the hell could she have gone? Maybe she moved? Maybe she left? Maybe she got in a car accident as she was fleeing the scene, she sensed that Alex loved her and had the good sense to run for her life?
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit…
He ran into Derek. Wow, just the person he wanted to see, her ex-husband. "Sorry, Dr. Shepherd."
He raised one of his eyebrows. "What's wrong with you Karev? No snide comeback? No quirky remark? No hitting on my girlfriend at a bar, or telling her about my personal business with Addison?"
"No, sir."
"Hey, why are you still here? Dr. Montgomery's shift ended 20 minutes ago; don't you have the same schedule as her?"
Addison's shift ended 20 minutes ago. You dumb-ass! "I was just leaving, Dr. Shepherd," he managed to squeak out before starting to sprint to the intern's locker room. Then he realized a flaw in his plan, and turned back around. "Dr. Shepherd?" he called down the hallway. "What's her hotel room number?"
"2214," he called back. Intern's these days. Always yelling, doing everything at warp speed—
Why the hell did he need Addison's hotel room number? Luckily he ran into the person to tell him. "Mer, why would Alex need to go to Addison's hotel room?"
Meredith's face broke out into a wide grin. "Sounds like another Dark & Twisty person will get their happy ending tonight…"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Addison walked in the door of her hotel room, and immediately flopped down on her bed, touching her lips absentmindedly, where Alex's had covered hours before. She sighed. What in the world would happen with that situation? Could they just go to work tomorrow, pretend nothing had happened? Maybe it didn't mean anything to him. But how could that be?
She resigned herself to the fact that she would know nothing more until the following morning, and proceeded to start brushing her hair, attempting to remove the snarls Alex himself had probably made in their little make out session.
Then, in a period of about 30 seconds, the door bell rang, she answered it, Alex was re-snarling her hair, the door was slammed behind them, and she was in the exact same position on her bed, with the addition of a certain man she was in love with.
Addison forced herself to untangle from their embrace when it started getting heated, knowing in a few seconds, she wouldn't be able to say no. "Alex…" she said distractedly, for his hand definitely wasn't in her hair anymore… "Why are you here?"
He responded, in such an Alex way it made her want to kiss him more, "I'm kinda, slightly, barely… fuck it, I'm drowning in love with you, and I need you to help me breathe."
Her breath caught, as she was motionless for a few moments. Then, with no warning, she flipped them over, and pinned him down on his back to her king sized bed. Staring directly into his eyes, which were sparkling from the full moon outside the window she had forgotten to close… "I love you, too. And I've decided I like backtalk."
He returned her smile. "Does that mean I've won a case?" And flipped them again, him on top once more. But he hadn't won, as he realized he didn't know where her hands were.
He groaned in pleasure when he found them, and she responded—"Not if I beat you to it."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first time was fast, as they both wanted to be where they hadn't been in much too long. It took less than 5 minutes before the deed was done.
The second time was more thoughtful, as Addison took the lead, hitting, touching, licking, and sucking all of the right spots. The third may have been a tiny bit faster, but that's because it was Alex's turn to be in charge.
By the time the fourth came around, it was the dead of night, and the rest of the world was quiet, like they knew that they shouldn't interrupt the earth shattering—no, the earth mending thing that was going on. Addison and Alex wouldn't have noticed anyways, for the only thing they were paying attention to were each other, eyes locking as they moved oh-so-slowly for a beautiful eternity, until coming at the same time, gently. Afterwards, Alex opened his mouth, about to say something, but before he could ruin the magic, Addison caught his lips with hers, rolled on top of him, inched the sheets up with her toes, and tucked them in together, as the moonlight lulled the lovers asleep.

Beautiful day
Watching you as you awake
Morning stars in your eyes
Your hand in mine
Alex woke hazily, his body entangled with hers, her crimson locks sticking to his sweat clad body, as the rising sun beat down from the east facing window of her hotel. He inhaled her, all of her—a mixture of her conditioner, the OR, and obviously the after math of last night, rising from her sweet naked body as she gently dozed.
The sky is lit up
Day will be richer than night
So don't think of yesterday
It's here and now
Last night had just been the beginning, he realized. He had a lifetime to look forward to. "I'm kinda, slightly, barely… fuck it, I'm drowning in love with you." Not exactly eloquent, but it just was. And Addison made him tell the truth.
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
It's a, it's a, it's a new day
A fresh start was what they both needed. God knows she wanted to move on from Derek, Mark… could he possibly be what she needed? Could he set her back on the right track?
Could she do the same to him?
The beauty of you
Gives me my fortitude
Stronger than any dark cloud
Screaming out loud
As he lay there, he kept thinking of what it had been like for Derek to lay next to her. Older, more mature… a real man. But still… what kind of man would leave her?
And how could he compare to what she had had with him?
The sky is lit up
Day will be richer than night
So don't think of yesterday
It's here and now
All of a sudden, tt came back to him in a wave… and he was drowning again. Izzie Olivia, father, mother, pain, punch, push, close, Izzie, Olivia, father, mother, pain, punch, punch, push, close…
He was 22 again, applying for med school, standing in line, and there was Steve from Walker High School. "You're going to med school? Karev, you're messed up. How could you ever learn to heal when you've never been able to heal yourself?"
Its a, its a, its a...new day
Its a, its a, its a...new day
He told her he loved her. She told him she loved him. Could she love him? Could anyone? Was he destined to over and over again fail, like he had done so many times before?
She's just so fucking beautiful.
If he left now, she would be hurt. But she wasn't really in love with him. She was in love with the Alex who sucked up to her, who acted like he wanted her to perceive him, so she would possibly someday love him back. Nothing was real. Nothing was real, her love wasn't real, staying would hurt her more. What to do, what to do, what to do…
"Karev, you're messed up. How could you ever learn to heal when you've never been able to heal yourself?"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its a, its a, its a...new day
Its a, its a, its a...new day
Addison woke up to the warmth of the sun, first groaning at the heat, but then remembered the events of the previous night, and sighed in ecstasy. Alex, Alex, Alex… noble like Derek, cunning like Mark, but just… Alex. She reached over to touch him.
All she got was a fistful of sheets.
She turned over. There she was, naked in her bed, the morning after having sex— making love, really… looking forward to what was going to come, after what they had said, what they had done, last night…
But the room was empty. Her heart was empty. She was alone in her bed once again, and Alex was gone.
