Ok…. Here we go… chapter 5….. The Chief knows! Also, Izzie and Addy are in surgery… that's where we'll begin.

Dr. Addison Sheppard proceeded to massage the heart for a heart beat. Still no pulse. It was a flat line on the screen. They had tried. They had failed. "Great…" Izzie mumbled. "I've lost two babies within a month!". "What was that Dr. Stevens?" Addison had heard what she said. She just wanted to hear Izzie tell her to her face. Izzie grimly responded. " It's just….. how is it always ME! I love this field in the medical world, yet I have already lost 2 of my patients. It doesn't matter if the first baby, Emily, was destined to die, the fact is she died on my watch! I lost them. You say not to be attached to the patients… but I can't help it. These people ARE people. I can't NOT bond with them and pretend everything is just business and my whole purpose in life is just to cut open person by person like slabs of meat!" Izzie wasn't truly this emotional over the babies. She was sad about the Alex situation. He slept with Olivia when he wouldn't even sleep with her. "Dr. Stevens, take a breath, please! Obviously there is more that is wrong but you are going to have to suck it up! Go to the nurses desk for another assignment. We're done here."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Addison headed towards the Chief's office to inform him on the death. But he wasn't there. Someone told her he had gone to the intern's locker room to check on some technical issues. Addison changed her path towards the locker rooms, only to hear some alarming news.

It had been about 4 hours since the elevator incident and Addison hadn't heard about it. She was still very chipper and happy and it seemed the world couldn't EVER bring her down. As she walked through the doors, she heard some interns gossiping and decided to eaves drop. Who knows, she could use this information for major blackmail someday.

"Did you hear about the elevator backup this morning? It turns out an intern and an attending were stuck for about 30 minuets!"

"I know! The best part of it was it was McDreamy and Meredith Grey! God, to be stuck with someone like Dr. Sheppard…"

"But they are broken up! The whole hospital knows he picked Addison, and besides, they were stuck. I suppose they were terribly scared in there."

"No, no, no! I talked to the janitorial staff. It turns out they weren't stuck at all!"

"You don't mean-"

"Yep! They pulled the alarm and my guess is they had a PRETTY goof make-up make-out session. I mean, who wouldn't with him!"

"You don't suppose Addison knows?"

"I heard she doesn't have a clue!"

"She is gonna CRASH when she finds out. She was all happy, poor girl."

Addison was in shock. This couldn't be true. It's all just gossip. Gossip. It is not real. NOT REAL! She had to find Derek. She continued through the locker room to find the Chief. Apparently, he just left back for his office. Here we go again. To the Chief's office to get to the bottom of this!

When she got there, she saw Derek exit the door. She stopped him before he could get away. "Honey!" she yelled. "Derek, um, I have a question. I don't believe it yet, but I heard you and Meredith were trapped in elevator 3. is that right?" "Yes, Addy, it is, but I'm fine now, so don't worry." He had a bitter tone, and just as he turned to leave, Addison grabbed his arm and spun him around. "Ok, but, I heard that you were stuck by choice, and that you, uh, kissed, very passionately. That's crazy, isn't it!" Derek looked into Addison's eyes with sorrow. He quickly diverted his eyes to the ground to hide the shame. "Addy-I….I…-sorry." He rushed away leaving a broken Addison behind.

Sometimes the worst Gossip can turn out to be the horrible truth…..
