OMG that Add/Der scene killed me. I literally had to pause the TV, go into the other room, and stand over a garbage can. I get that Derek was trying to be honest, but did you see the look on her face. I just wanted to cry for her. Anyway, remember when Derek said he killed a man, well this is what I think happened.

Year 3

This was the year Derek had a surgery on Christmas Eve. A 60-year-old man had slipped on some ice and had a major inter-cerebral hemorrhage. He hadn't gotten home until 11:30. I was curled up on the love seat of our living room, next to the tree, with a mug of hot coco in my hand when he got home.

He sighed, " I told you not to wait up for me."

" I couldn't help it." I said. He sighed again, running his fingers through his dark curly hair as he sat down on the couch next to me.

" Is your patient ok?"

He shook his head, " No. My hand slipped with the scalpel. He was declared brain dead a half an hour ago."

" Derek, I'm so sorry." I said putting a hand on his knee.

" I killed him, Addie. I killed James Hanson." He said starting to tear.

" Oh Derek." I got up and sat next to him, running my hand up and down his back.

" I made a mistake and killed him."

"Shhh. It's ok,"

" God. I hate this. Why did we become surgeons, Addie?"

" Because we love the feeling of standing in the OR. We love being 10 feet tall and invincible."

He smiled, " Oh, yeah that."

" Come on. Let's go to bed. It's Christmas."

" Actually, 10-9-8-7-," I watched him watch the second hand of the clock ," 6-5-4-3-2-1. Now it's Christmas."

I smiled as the light bulb went off in my head, " Let's open them now."

He laughed, " Whatever floats your boat,"

I got of the couch and pick up the neatly wrapped gift I got him.

" This is yours." He gently began to open the gift. " What are you doing?"

He looked at me cock-eyed, " I'm opening the present."

" Hello. You're supposed to rip the paper."

He chuckled and began to rip the paper off the rectangular box, " That better?"

" Yes," I watched as he opened the present. It was a watch. " You were so mad when your other one broke, I thought you could use a new one."

He got up and gave me a kiss, " Thank you,"

" You're welcome."

" Yours is the one with the white bow," I ripped the paper off and opened the box. It was a ruby, my birthstone, pendant with a trio of diamonds on a gold chain.

" Oh Derek," I got up and gave him a big kiss.

He had a huge smirk on his face," That Kay commercial doesn't lie."

I love writing fanfics! Review please.
