Addison had concluded her work for the day and had agreed to meet Izzie at Joe's with her friends, she had just boarded the elevator after leaving her blonde girlfriend. A figure sneaked in as the doors began to shut, a common occurrence at Seattle Grace Hospital. Addison sighed as she looked her intruder in the eye.

"Who's up for Joe's then?" Cristina yelled across the locker room.

"I'm in." said George, searching around his locker for something.

"I'm coming, Addison will meet us there." Izzie said pulling her hair out of it's bun.

"Meredith, you coming?"

"I'm meeting Derek in the lobby in 10 minutes, I'm not sure yet."

"I'm up for a drink, even if it isn't with Izzie." Alex drawled.

Izzie rolled her eyes, "Get over it Alex, I'm in love, and happy." She said slamming her locker shut.

"Can we talk?"

"What is there to talk about, other than you stalking me? This is getting tired and old Derek." Addison sighed.

"Please Addie."

"Ok, talk. You have until we reach my floor."

"You want to know why I went to New York."

"I also want to know why you have been acting like a jealous school boy, are you going to divulge that information too?" she asked glancing at her watch, then back up at Derek.

"Just hear me out ok?"

"Ok, I get it, after being with me you just couldn't be with another man."

"Ohmygod, up your own ass much?" Izzie scoffed.

"Admit it."

"There's nothing to admit, I fell in love with Addison, it doesn't matter who she is or where she comes from, I. Love. Her." She spelt out.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. I'm happy for you. And parts of me are very happy for you." Alex smirked.

"You are such a pervert." Izzie shrieked as she threw her dirty scrub top at him. He caught it and sniffed it. Izzie gasped, "Seriously, gross." She said. The lights flickered, all eyes shot towards the ceiling.

"I'm listening, you haven't got long." Addison stood with her hands on her hips impatiently. The lights flickered and the lift shook. Addison was thrown off balance and fell backwards as the lift ground to a halt. The lights went out before the emergency lights kicked in.

"Addie, are you ok?" Derek said bending down to help her up.

"I'm fine." She snapped, waving her arms to get Derek to leave her alone.

"Power cut?" George asked.

"Luckily we have back up generators, imagine what a hospital would be without electricity." Cristina said.

"I guess we have nothing to worry about then." Izzie suggested.

"Oh yeah we do, the beer will be going warms at Joe's." Alex said. The room of intern's gasped at the shock of the situation.

"Press the call button." Addison said.

"I have. Just be patient."

"Be patient? I'm stuck in an elevator with the person I would least like to be stuck with."

"I guess now would be a good time to talk."

Addison huffed, he had a point. "Go on." She said, she resigned herself to the fact they could be here a while so decided to take the weight off her feet and sat on the cold floor.

"Ok, firstly, I'm sorry. I can see you are happy with Izzie and a part of me feels guilty for not being able to make you smile like you do with her."

Addison looked at Derek intently, this would be interesting. "I am jealous, I admit it. I see you and I think of all the good times we had together and wonder if we could ever have it again."

"No Derek, we tried that remember?"

"But it's different now, you're pregnant, we always wanted a family."

"I always wanted a family Derek, you were too busy making a name for yourself."

"That's not strictly true Addie, you wanted a career too."

"And then I wanted a family, and where were you?"

"Ok, ok, I screwed up, we screwed up."

"Ok, last one to Joe's get's the first round in, and make it quick I do not want warm beer." Yelled Izzie as she was running out of the locker room, the other intern heeding her words and quick on her tail.

"I was sorry I slept with Mark."

"I know and I'm sorry I ran off and didn't try to fix it. But you came after me Addie, that has to count for something."

"You slept with Meredith, Derek, that has to count for something." Addison smirked.

"So Iz, how long have you and Addison, you know . . ."

"I know what Alex?"

"You know . . ." Alex said, his eyes widening.

"Been making mad passionate love?" the blonde smirked, taking a swig of her beer out of the bottle. All Alex could do was nod in agreement. "Since camping, it all started off with a game of truth or dare . . ."

"I love Meredith."

"So why the hell are we here?" Addison huffed.

"I need to explain, you're pregnant Addie, you were my first love, we could have the family we always wanted."

"Derek, are you serious? I told you, the baby is not yours and I am so happy and madly in love with Izzie."

"You don't have to be." Derek said moving closer to Addison.

"Wow, you seem really happy." Alex observed.

"I am, more than I ever thought I could be."

"Good," Alex smiled, "If anyone deserves it Iz, it's you. I knew you could do better than me."

"Thanks Alex." She smiled, patting his leg. "That means a lot."

"You're welcome."

"You're not watching." She said nonchalantly.

"Damn it."

"What are you doing Derek."

"Relax Addie." He said moving closer, she could feel his breath on her face, she tried to scramble to her feet but to no avail. He tried to kiss her.

"Derek get off."

"Addie come on, we're so good together."

"No, get off of me." She said pushing him away.

"Huh, Meredith's calling, hold on . . . Hey Mer, you ok?"

"Have you seen Derek, he's late and no one's seen him."

"No he's not here, you checked his office?"

"Yeah, he's not there."

"Emergency surgery?"

"No, not in there either."

"Then I don't know where he is Mer, sorry."

"Can you ask the guys?"

"Sure hold on a sec." the blonde covered the mouth piece, "Has anyone seen Derek?" they replied with mumbles of 'no'. "Nope, sorry Mer. You coming over."

"I guess so."

"Just text him and tell him where you'll be."

"Ok, see you in a few minutes."

"Bye Mer."

He pulled at her skirt, tearing it slightly as Addison pushed him away as far as the strength in her arms would allow, he came for her once again, she lifted her leg and kicked him square in his manhood, stiletto heel first. She winced as she felt his pain by looking at the expression on his face.

"Is he here?"

"Do you see him Mer?" Cristina said.

"No."

"He's not here. Why don't you just dump his ass?"

"I am seriously considering it. Joe, I'll have a Tequila, thanks."

"Starting with the hard stuff? Must be bad."

"Well I think my boyfriend is still in love with his ex wife."

"What makes you say that?" George asked.

"It's a long story." Meredith said looking at Izzie. "Iz, is Addison here?"

"Not yet, she said she had a few things to catch up on."

"He's with her."

"No, Meredith, and even if he was, Addison wouldn't let anything happen."

"Are you sure about that Izzie, because she's cheated before remember."

"She wouldn't do it. Things are different, we are happy, we're moving in together, we're . . ." Izzie stopped herself before revealing Addison's pregnancy.

"You're what?" Meredith challenged.

"In love." Concluded the blonde.

Derek sat in the opposite corner of the elevator to Addison.

"Addie I'm so sorry."

"I don't want to hear it Derek, you have ruined any reconciliation we could ever have. I should even report you for sexual abuse." She said.

"Addie."

"You do not get to call me that, you do not talk to me, you violated me Dr Shepherd."

"I can't get through to Addie's cell."

"What did I tell you?"

"She said she'd call if she was going to be late." The blonde stood. She was worried about her pregnant girlfriend, something could have happened to Addison or the baby.

"She's with Derek."

"If she is Meredith, she'll be telling him to back the hell off." Izzie yelled inches from Meredith's face. "I'm going to find her."

"I'm coming with you." Meredith said jumping off her stool and following Izzie.

"Whatever." The blonde intern sighed.

"Hello, is there anyone in there?" A voice yelled from outside.

"Yes, yes, in here, we're stuck in the elevator." Addison called out.

"How many?"

"Two."

"Can you identify yourselves?"

"Dr Montgomery and Dr Shepherd." She called back.

"We'll have you out of there soon. Hang on."

Addison sighed and closed her eyes.

"Hey what's going on?" Meredith asked a maintenance guy who was by the elevators with a group of other people.

"Couple of doctors stuck on in the elevator, they're going to get them out on fourth."

"Who are they do you know?" Izzie asked.

"Montgomery and Shepherd."

"I told you." Meredith hissed and made for the stairs, Izzie making tracks behind her.

"We're going to wedge open the doors and we should have you out of there in no time." The voice called.

"When we are out of here, we never speak to one another again unless it's professional, you understand?" Addison ordered rather than asked.

"Yes, I understand, I'm really sorry. Are you going to tell anyone?"

"I don't know Derek, don't give me reason to ok? Meredith loves you, she's a fool but I know in a twisted way you love her too. Do the right thing by her."

"Addie?"

"Izzie?" Addison called back, her heart rate spiked at hearing her lover's voice the other side of the doors.

"Addie, stand back, they're going to force the doors open now."

"Ok, we're clear."

As the doors flew open two interns took in the scene before them. Addison was sat in one corner, knees huddled to her chest, a visible tear on her skirt, her hair slightly messed and her lipstick smeared faintly. Derek was sat in the opposite corner curled up in pain.

"What the hell happened?" Izzie ordered.

"Iz." Addison begged, water threatening to spill from her eyes. Izzie rushed over and helped her lover to her feet.

"Baby, what happened?" she hugged the attending, pulling her tight into her body.

"Just take me home." She almost begged. Izzie turned to Derek.

"I don't know what you've done, but if you have harmed a hair on her head so help you god . . ."

"Iz, come on." Addison said, pulling her out of the elevator.

Meredith was stood at the threshold, hands on her hips. "What have you done Derek?"

"He did what? I knew that son of a bitch was up to something." Izzie said pacing back and forth in the hotel.

"Izzie you're making me dizzy." Addison said, she was sat at the end of the bed. "Come here, please." Izzie walked over to the attending and stood in front of her. Addison leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Izzie's waist and resting her head on Izzie's stomach. Izzie stroked Addison's silken locks and closed her eyes, disbelieving of what had happened.

"I am so sorry I wasn't there for you." Izzie said, a hint of a tear in her eye.

"You can't be everywhere Iz."

"I can be there for you." She stated simply.

"You are here for me. Right now, just be here for me, don't think about why you are here for me." Addison said.

"I'm angry Addie and it's hard for me to let that go."

"I know baby. But please just me and you." Addison pleaded, wanting Izzie to rid herself of the anger she had built up. Reluctantly Addison pulled away but held onto Izzie's hands. She looked up at her beautiful companion who was staring out of the window onto the Seattle sky line. "Please, come to bed and hold me." Izzie looked down and met the gaze of her lover. She smiled sweetly and let go of her girlfriend's hands. She crossed her arms and reached for the hem of her t-shirt before lifting it and pulling it over her head revealing a very toned stomach and a stunning black bra.

"Come on," she smiled, "you need to catch up." Addison followed her actions and relinquished her cashmere sweater, as Izzie shed her clothes, Addison matched her until they were naked. Izzie leaned down and kissed Addison sweetly, taking her bottom lip in her own and inviting her tongue into the redhead's mouth. Izzie gently pulled away, her partner's eyes remained closed.

"Ready for bed?" she whispered.
