A/N: This has been a long time coming but thanks to everyone for sticking in with this. I was on vacation hence the lack of updates but I am back now and ready to roll. Hope you all enjoy.
--Addison--
It has been three years since that night in the room. She thinks of it frequently. The profoundness of them all finding one another again. It was destiny. A long time ago she believed in destiny, but had come to think of it as naivety. That night sent her back to a place of longing for belief. It gave her a vague sense of hope that maybe everything wasn't as ill-fated as it appeared to be. Sure, she had just had random but hot sex in a supply closet with someone wasn't her husband. And sure maybe she shouldn't have been as happy as she was about it at the time; the moments when everyone in that room was mourning over one thing or another. But that night had shifted something for her; that night cleared her mind. After that night she knew that maybe life isn't as pretty as everyone hopes it will be, but sometimes good things can come from the mess. Now three years later she is back in her home town of New York with her first husband. Their journey was long, messy, and filled with road blocks but they made it. She has become rather taken with his daughter and shortly after Meredith's untimely death, Jen started calling her mom. It isn't the picture perfect family they had always planned on, but it is a start. Later this year they are expecting their first biological child. They tried for about two years, and then gave up. But that's the thing about her life, just when you think she couldn't possibly endure more a surprise will give way. She feels a little old to becoming a first time mother but he constantly reassures and shows her the reasons why she will be fabulous. She feels lucky and blessed to have found a way back to him, and she knows what they both know. That they love each other enough to never let go again, and are sane enough to never look back at all the things that brought them together once and for all.
--Alex--
He was right to think that that night would change him forever. How one simple call could have lead him back to his lover and turned him into a new father. In the last few years he has enjoyed everything that comes with the territory. He likes playing catch with Hunter, splashing through mud puddles with Hannah, baking things with Hayley, trying to understand 6 year old logic, chasing the blonde-haired monsters around until Izzie has had enough, wrapping birthday and Christmas presents until his talented fingers are numb, tucking them in after a long day of first grade, and most importantly being a never failing presence in the three pairs of brown eyes that meet his gaze everyday. He never understood how someone could make their job more important than their family. He surmises that to the fact that it is just the kind of guy he is. He is still a hard-core surgery jock but he would easily cop to the fact that he would much rather be on a family outing than in a seven hour surgery. Lately he finds himself arriving home before his new fiancee. Lately he finds that after his last surgery when he scrubs out he gets an overwhelming surge that carries him home to see what his children have been up to.
--Derek--
Years after an event that should have shaken his world to the core, Derek finds that he feels oddly normal. Meredith's death was hard on him even though they were no longer together. He was merely grateful that he had re-married a woman who could understand what it was like to lose someone who had become such an integrated part of your life. He will never be able to deny that Meredith was a good part of his life regardless of the fact that they were never destined to be; she did after all give him an amazing daughter. While Jen most closely resembles her father on second glance it could be seen the million different little quirks she has that truly make her her mother's daughter. Derek sees these things all day and wonders how he never noticed before. Through the years of trial and tribulation he is overjoyed to be back with Addison and when she told him of their soon-to-be newest addition he was walking on air for months. As he watches his very pregnant wife attempt to help Jen decorate the eight foot tall evergreen in their fireplace lit living room he is suddenly happy for all of life's hard moments. For all the fights, discussions, hardships, wars, sorrows, and regrets because they all lead him here to this. As they set the last strand of lights in place and Jen bounces around excitedly he knows that there has never been a time in his life happier than this.
