A week had passed with no Addison. Derek had found it very stressful to juggle Natalie and work so Mark offered his help, since they were being friends again. It was a Monday morning and the Seattle rain was beating down hard and fast. As soon as you stepped out you were soaking wet. Derek had just brought Natalie to school and was now heading to the hospital. He parked the car and ran in.

Meredith ran through the parking lot and ran towards the elevator and into the locker room. Her hair was all wet and she quickly dried it and got into her scrubs. The Seattle weather didn't seem to bother her nower days because she had Mark.

"Dr Shepherd" Meredith smiled when she walked up next to him

"Dr Grey" Derek said trying his best to look cheerful

"So we have two surgeries today and I was wondering if I could take the lead in one of them"

"Sure" Derek shrugged and started walking

"Derek's is there something wrong?" Meredith followed and asked

"No. I'm fine"

"You sure?"

"Of course now let's go see that patient" Derek walked into the patient's room and Meredith followed suit.

Mark sat down next to Derek and started eating.

"Do you always have to eat like that?" Derek said with a disgusted look on his face. Mark smiled and opened his mouth revealing all the food inside.

"You're disgusting"

"Thanks" Mark smiled and went back to eating. "So how's life without the wife. Oh that rhymed" Mark said and laughed at his own joke.

"I don't know why I'm your friend" Derek sighed and began to stand up. Mark pulled Derek back down to his seat and started to act serious.

"Derek stop being stupid. So how's it going?"

"Are you sure you're even going to listen to what I have to say?"

"Yeah of course, now tell me"

"Addison told me to think and I have been thinking. A lot actually"

"So what have you been thinking about?" Mark asked and slurped on his drink. Derek just rolled his eyes and answered Mark's question.

"I think I should get a divorce"

"What?!" Mark shouted chocking down on his drink a bit.

"I think me and Natalie are better off without her"

"Why would you say that?"

"I've noticed that all Natalie wants is for me to spend some time with her and Addison is the reason why Natalie spends my fortune"

"Wait, I'm confused"

"Last night I asked Natalie why she needs all of these things in her room and her reply was, because mommy says were rich so we should spend spend spend" Mark started laughing and Derek gave him a stare which made him stop.

"I'm being serious here Mark"

"Okay. So you're going to divorce your wife because she told your daughter that you guys are rich?"

"I don't know Mark. I think so. This is like one part of the puzzle which makes up the whole divorce puzzle"

"You lost me there buddy. Repeat" Mark frowned

"Mark you know what. Forget what I said and go back to eating and your happy life with my son and Meredith" Derek said and stormed off.
