But, here it is, chapter 25. It took a while, because I didn't have much inspiration, but, it's weekend, I told myself, and in weekends, I update! So, enjoy, read and review please!

Oh. Right. This one's really important to read. A shocker. Muhaha.
This time's the POV's Addison!

Chapter 25: Thoughts and memories

I used to love Christmas in New York.

Now, I'm not sure. Christmas reminds me of Derek, and the family trip we'd go on.

After I left Derek, I got back together with Mark.

But after a while, I left him too. I loved Derek, I always have, and Mark just was a replacement, and honestly, not the right one..

Mark and I are still friends, though, and even after all those years, I miss Derek.

I know it was the right thing to do, to leave him.

It was the right decision for me, and for Sarah, or whatsername..

Yeah, I knew Derek betrayed me on prom night, and the child from Meredith Grey was his.

After that day I heard Meredith confess that to Cristina, her best friend, it all became very clear.

Anyway, after Mark, I dated some men, but nothing really worked out.

I so cannot understand Cupid's way of working..

I do not "hate" him or anything, but I guess I just don't like the guy.

Anyhow, after I left Derek I moved back to New York City.

I'm renting an apartment, got my old job back, and worked my but off.

I've no idea how things worked out in Seattle, the last things I know is that Meredith chose the vet, and moved to Detroit with him.

I didn't told Derek about the tiny Sarah-is-your-daughter fact, but hey, I'm not the one who screwed my wife.

(A/N: Okay. Don't go there. You know what I mean.)

So, here I am, drowning in thoughts and memories, sitting in a coffee shop, waiting for Savvy to come.

At least, I thought. But that changed, when I saw Meredith Grey walk in the shop.

Walking between Lea, Emma, Kasey and Alice.

Derek's sisters.

I could so remember walking between them myself, lots of years in the past.

I guess, Meredith took my place.

I'm not sure if that thought is painful, the only thing I can think about is them, walking towards me, probably searching for a place in the back.

I look away, and take a sip from my coffee.

"Addison?"

Kasey, the one I liked the most, probably saw me.

I look up and smile.

Oh no. They're all staring now. Isn't this awkward, and humiliating..

"Kasey.. Emma, Lea, Alice.. Meredith," I say greeting, still smiling.

"Addison, hi," Meredith replies, also feeling a bit awkward, I think.

A baby starts sobbing, and I notice the buggy Meredith was pushing.

"I'll take her," Emma says to Meredith who looks a bit helpless, and Emma walks trough with the baby, followed by Lea and Alice.

I see Alice is pregnant, again, and look back to Kasey and Meredith.

"How are you?" I ask, trying to be nice.

"Things are working out, I guess," Meredith replies and Kasey nods with a smile.

"Same there?" Kasey asks.

I nod.

"Yeah, I guess they are.."

The baby starts crying louder and Meredith looks at Emma.

"Uhm.. I guess I've to go. It was nice seeing you, Addison," Meredith says and walks over to Emma, Lea and Alice.

"Bye," I say, half to her and half to Kasey.

"Merry Christmas, Addie," Kasey says with a smile and leaves.

I finish my coffee and Savvy arrives.

We leave, and as I walk out of the door, I hear Meredith laugh with Lea, Emma, Alice and Kasey, just like I did once.

A/N: Okay. I really need to change the POV now.

POV switches to Derek.

"Good night, sweetie," I hear Mer say to Sarah, as I walk into the bedroom.

"Daddy! Did you come to give me a goodnight kiss?" Sarah cheered when she sees me.

"Yes, I did," I say and smile.

I walk over to her, give her a kiss and cuddle her.

"Sleep well," I say, and I walk out of the room, with Mer besides me, holding Rachel.

"Let's get her to sleep too," I say, and she nods.

Twenty minutes later we crash down on our bed, next to the room where Sarah sleeps over.

"Did you have fun today?" Meredith asks, crawling into me.

"I did.. Looks like Sarah had lots of fun today, being around her cousins.. Did you have fun?"

Meredith nods, and I put my arm around her waist.

"I did. Shopping was fun, you're sisters are all very nice. Rachel and I had a terrific day.."

"I'm glad.."

"You'll never guess who I ran into today.."

"Who?" I ask, interested.

"Addison.."

"Really?"

"Yeah.. It was a bit awkward, she was at some coffee shop, waiting for a friend of hers.."

"Hmm.. How is she? Or you didn't spoke to her?"

"Yeah, I did.. Or well, Kasey did.. She was fine, I guess.. Like I said, it was kind of awkward.."

I nod, and smile.

"What're you smiling for?" Meredith asks.

"Nothing. It's nothing.. Kasey and Addison connected really well, back then.. That's all.."

"Okay.."

There was a silence for a while, and I gave Mer a kiss on her forehead.

"I'm glad we came Derek. I love your family."

"And I'm sure they love you too," I say smiling, and a few minutes later we were both fast asleep.

Okay, that's it for today. I've a bunch of ideas now, I'm sure I'll work one out. Like I said, could be a week, I'm overloaded with homework. Thanks for reading, and please review!
