A/N : Oohh I love this Derek. This is by Raven (vinh)!
It had been a long day and Derek was tired. The drive back to their trailer seemed to have taken longer than usual. He was hoping for a nice relaxing evening with his favorite redhead and a maybe a glass of scotch.
Derek came to a stop as he saw his wife sitting on their bed staring blankly out into space; their cordless phone was held loosely in her hands. She was still wearing her coat and her briefcase was on the floor at her feet.
"Addison?" Derek called as he dropped his briefcase and moved towards her.
Addison blinked at the noise the phone made as it rolled out of her hands. Her hands rose, but they found nothing to grab on to, so they fell again to her lap.
"He's gone," She whispered as she finally noticed Derek, "My baby brother is gone." Her hands continued to rise and fall back to her lap, as the harsh reality began to sink in.
Derek stilled her hands before lifting her chin, making her meet his gaze. Her green eyes were swimming. Derek felt his heart clench as he watched his wife's tears start welling over. He pulled her into his embrace and just rubbed her back as she started to sob.
After her sobbing had slowed Derek just held her. Not too long later he picked up his wife and moved them to their bed. Her coat had long been shed. Derek shifted his wife until her head was resting on his chest.
"It's okay," Derek whispered as he dropped a kiss on Addison's head, knowing that it was meaningless and shallow in the face of her grief.
Addison's eyes were glassy and unseeing. The fingers of her right hand twitched absently against her husband's chest.
"It hurts," Addison's bleakly whispered, "I'm all alone now."
"I know, it hurts," Derek whispered, "But you're not alone. I'm here, and I'll always be here."
Addison responded by nuzzling her face into his chest, "Promise?"
"I promise," Derek said as he met his wife's desolate eyes.
"Show me?" Addison whispered hoarsely as she moved on top off her husband before pressing her lips to his.
Derek responded by opening his mouth allowing his wife's tongue to tangle insistently with his. He groaned as his wife sat up and in one smooth motion pulled of her shirt. Derek stilled her hands as they moved to undo her bra; he smiled up at her before pulling her in for a tender kiss. Derek gentle eased them over before sitting up and pulling off his wife's skirt.
Addison watched as her husband pulled of his clothes. Her eyes were emotional and suspiciously wet as she reached for him.
Her head was thrown back as she heard Derek whispering 'I love you' in time with each thrust, his warm lips pressed against the column of her neck. His warm lips and whispered words had finally begun to thaw the ice that had devoured her heart.
Afterwards, Derek briefly touched his forehead to his wife's, before rolling them both.
Addison closed her eyes sagging against him, as he started raining kisses on her face as his other hand played with her hair. The last thing a sated yet grieving Addison heard as she drifted off in her husband's embrace was his declarations of love and devotion.
