OMG. I got this chapter done last night, and I was trying to upload it, but it kept timing out! I'm so sorry!

Okay here's another chapter. I got this idea last night when I was about to fall asleep. Unfortunately Meredith doesn't go home yet, but next chapter I promise she'll come home. Well… maybe the chapter after next. Depends on what I do next.

Enjoy :

"Let me make it up to you. Please?"

"Derek that's okay it was four years ago…"

"No! No it's not okay. I'm going to make it up to you. I have to make it up to you," he said as he laid next to her. She took his hand and intertwined her fingers through his.

"Do you promise?" she asked.

"I promise."

A week and a half passed without any word from Addison. Derek went and visited Meredith everyday, filling her room with flowers, and showering her with attention.

"Do you think I'll get to go home soon?" Meredith asked the doctor one day.

"Yes definitely. You're recovering remarkably fast. I'm going to say you can probably be discharged the day after tomorrow."

Meredith grinned at Derek and he lightly planted a kiss on her lips.

"I'll have Dr. Dahmor come in tomorrow to evaluate you," the doctor said before leaving the room.

"I get to leave! I get to come home and spend all my time with you!" Meredith yelled, throwing her arms around Derek's neck. He hugged her back, taking in the scent of her newly washed hair.

"Are you smelling my hair?" she asked as they broke apart.

"I might have been."

"It's a good thing I washed it then," she said with a smile. "Do you know how hard it is to shower with a cast?"

"I can imagine," he said, grabbing his jacket.

"Where are you going?"

"I've got to go back to your house. I'm waiting for a phone call from my boss in New York. He's helping me transfer back to this hospital."

"So you really are staying?"

"Would I lie to you?"

"You might," she giggled.

He walked over to the door and blew her a kiss on his way out. Meredith leaned back into her pillows and turned the television on, but she couldn't really concentrate on the program. She kept thinking of Derek, and how wonderful he had been to her since he had come to Seattle. The little things he had done for her. Like the time he brought her a piece of cheesecake, or the time he came in with a radio, playing her favorite song. Or even the time they had been making out on her bed and her doctor had walked in on them.

She had been so immersed in her thoughts that she jumped when the door slammed open, and Addison walked in, black stilettos and everything. She pushed it shut and stood at the end of Meredith's bed.

"What are you doing here Addison?" she asked, confused.

"What am I doing here? What the hell do you think I'm doing here? I'm getting my husband back, but I thought I'd take a little detour and visit the tart that brought him out here."

"He doesn't love you. He won't go back to you."

"Excuse me? Aren't little girls supposed to be respectful of their elders?"

"Well he doesn't. He hasn't loved you since he left you the first time. You cheated on him. What the hell possessed you to cheat on him Addison? He is such an amazing person and you fucking shattered his world. To make matters worse it was with his best friend. His best friend. He's not going to go back to you no matter what you do."

"You have no right to lecture me on cheating. What the fuck do you think he was doing when he was doing whatever the hell you two did while he was still married to me?"

"That was not cheating. That was… that was a relationship. Between two people who care about each others feelings. But you wouldn't know what that is since you've been toying with Derek's feeling since day 1."

"Thank you SO much for the lesson on love. I really needed that from someone who wasn't old enough to remember the 80's."

"Please leave Addison. I don't want you here."

"More than happy to. I just needed to take a glance at the little girl who thinks she's in love with my husband. If you don't mind, I'll be stopping at your house. I'm sure Derek's there just waiting for you to come home."

She stormed out the door, and Meredith picked up the phone. She dialed her house number and waiting for him to answer.

"Derek?" she asked as soon as he picked up.

"The one and only. What's wrong?"

"Addison is what's wrong."

"Addison?"

"She's here. In Seattle."

'Holy mother of destruction.'

"What? Why? How do you know?"

"She just dropped by. Your wife is a very pleasant person."

'Oh fucking shit.'

"Oh God Meredith. I am so incredibly sorry."

"I wouldn't be too sorry. She's coming to see you next. She seems to know you're at my house."

"Okay, well… thanks for the heads up."

"Yeah well you needed it. She is pissed off."

"Oh great."

"Don't worry just calmly explain everything to her."

"You know for some reason I don't think she'll take it that well… but thanks anyway. I'll come visit you after she leaves."

"Love you."

"Back atcha."

"Bye."

He hung up the phone and slumped on the bottom step of the stairs. It wasn't long before Addison started pounding on the door. He took a deep breathe before opening it.

"Addison," he said coldly.

Addison didn't say anything, she just pinned him against the wall by the door. She wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned in, slowly kissing him on the lips just the way she knew he liked it.

Oh my God, I know you all hate me now. But don't worry! Derek isn't stupid. (At least he isn't this time around). I would have continued, but it's late. I always get my rush of inspiration really late at night. That's not going to be such a good thing once school starts again…
