I want you all to know that this is the fastest I've ever updated a story ever. Seriously. That's how much I love Grey's. I'm obsessed.

Anyway on with the story...


When I Get Home

" What do you guys plan to do?" Weiss asked in the cab back to their place.

" Uh..I was going to do obviously Central Park, the old apartment, Bryant Park, and I have to go see my mother." Addison said leaving out her most important spot.

" She doesn't know you're here, does she?" Sav asked curiously.

" I wanted to surprise her."

" You better see her first."

" Yeah, I know Sav."

>>

" Mommy, are you ok?" Kennedy asked as she watched her mother stare at the door of her grandparent's apartment.

" Yeah. Why don't you ring the bell?" Addison lifted Kennedy up and she pressed the doorbell with a giggle. A loud barking noise was heard.

" Mitch, can you get that?" Addison heard her mother scream from inside.

" The game's on!"

" Mitchel, get the door!" Patricia persisted.

" Alright, Mrs. Montgomery. Oh..shut up, hound," Addison laughed.The door swung open and there stood Mitchell Montgomery and a pesky little King Charles Spainel named Charlie.

" Hi, Daddy," Addison said giving her father a kiss while walking into her childhood home.

" Hi, Grandpa," Kennedy waved, followed her mother inside, and got down on the floor to play with the dog.

" Mrs. Montgomery, you're going to regret not answering the door," Mitch said.

" And why is that?" She asked coming towards the door, " Well, I'll be.."

" Hi, Mom."

" Hi, Grandma." Kennedy said while being licked by Charlie.

" Hi. That's it? Charlie leave her alone." Mrs. Montgomery repremanded.

" He's fine, Mom."

" What brings you to the city?" Mitchel asked.

" Oh nothing important," Addi said with a smile.

" Why didn't you call?" Her mother asked.

" It called a surprise, mother."

" Ha. Ha."

" I thought it was funny." Mitch said.

" Oh, hush,"

" Can we move this bit of banter into the kitchen?" Addi asked while making her way further into the house. As she took in her surroundings, she smiled at the memory of home.

" Remember the time.." Mitch began.

" Daddy please."

" Ok. Fine."

" Mommy, you used to live here?"

" Uh-huh," Addi nodded while taking a seat a bar stool.

" Wow," Kennedy said climbing up on the chair next to her mother.

" Can I get you girls something?" Patricia asked.

" I'm fine thanks. Ken?"

" Apple Juice, please."

" I think we can do that." Patricia said reaching for one of the sippy cups in the cuboard.

" So, how's Seattle?" Mitch began, not wanting to touch on the subject of Derek.

" Rainy." Her father laughed.

" You ok?"

" Yeah, Daddy. We're ok. Right, Kennedy?" The little girl nodded as a cup of juice was placed in front of her.

" Kennedy, why don't you go upstairs in the playroom?" Patricia suggested. Addi gave her a look.

" Ok, Grandma." Kennedy took her juicy cup and walked away.

" I'm fine, you guys." Addison insisted.

" Are you sure?" Patricia pushed.

" Yes. I'm sure."

" Really, Addison?"

" God, Mom. Yes!"

" Ok,"

" Thank you,"

" How long are you in town for?" Patricia asked while wiping the counter in front of Addison.

" Just till Tuesday. Kennedy's birthday is Friday and I go back to work on Sunday."

" Were are you staying?"

" With Sav and Weiss."

" No, you should stay with us!" Mitch suggested." I insist."

" No, thanks Daddy."

" You really should stay here," Patricia interjected.

" I'm staying with Sav and Weiss."

Knowing how stubborn his daughter was, Mitch gave up and changed the subject, " So what sites are you going to see?"

>>

" Are you ready to see New York?" Addison asked her daughter while walking out of her parents apartment building.

" Yeah."

" Ok, but the rule is you DO NOT walk away from Mommy. People in this town aren't nice."

" Ok,"

" Ok." Addison said hailing a cab with ease. I've missed that." Bryant Park." She said to the cab driver.

" Bryan Park?" Kennedy asked.

" It's where daddy proposed." Addi smiled.

"Oh,"

" Yeah." They pair spend the rest of the ride in silence. Before long, they'd reached their desination.

" Ok. Hold my hand." Addison said to Kennedy at the entrance of the park. They walked a little further before Addison spoke again," Ok. It's this one." Addison said pointing to a bright pink horse on a carousel.

" Daddy porposed to you on a horsey?"

" Yup. You want to ride it?" Addison said. Kennedy nodded and was hoisted onto the horse.

" What was it like?"

Addison smiled," Well, it was late at night, and this was on and the lights looked so pretty. He told me to pick a pony and I got on this one and he let it spin around a few times before it stopped. Then, he got on one knee, and I started to cry. He said, 'Addi, from the moment we met, I knew that one day we'd end up here. You are my everything. My life's accomplishments would mean nothing to me if I didn't have you to share them with. Every breath wouldn't be worth it if you weren't by my side, which is why I stand here before you, asking you to marry me. And then I cried some more and said yes,"Addison said, leaving out the passionate kiss which lead to the passionate sex.

" That's pretty."

" I thought so too." She said smiling.

>>

" I have one last thing to show you," Addison said hailing yet another cab.

" Mommy, my feet hurt."

" Yeah I know, hun. But it's just one more thing. I promise. Then, we can go home and go to sleep."

"Ok, Mommy." The reached a small cemetary and purchased a dozen lillies before Addison pushed open the gate.

" Where are we Mommy?" Kennedy asked, scared and confused.

" It's ok. Come on." Addison reassured. Kennedy slowly entered, staying by Addison's side. They walked about a few feet before reaching a small headstone, Addison kneeled down touched it. It read..

Madeline Leigh Shepherd.

God Bless Our Baby Girl

We Barely Knew You

" This is your sister,"

" My sister?"

" Yes. Before you were born, when Mommy and Daddy still lived in New York, I had a baby. Her name was Madeline. She died. She's now with Daddy in heaven." Addison said holding back the tears.

" She's in heaven, too."

" Yes." Addison watched as her daughter tried to understand what had happened. " You can ask me anything. You know that right?"

" Uh-huh."

" Ok. You know I love you, right."

" Yes, Mommy. I love you, too." Kennedy said hugging her mother.

Addison nearly broke into sobs," I love you so much."
