A/N- Okay so I know that I haven't put in a disclaimer yet, so here goes. All of the characters that appear on ABC's show Grey's Anatomy belong to Shonda Rimes. But Georgie...muhahah...she is mine! Yeah, be jealous. 

-Sheppard Residence-

It had been a week since Georgie and Addison had moved in with Derek. They learned that they both couldn't go to bed until Georgie was asleep, or she would ask more questions, and they didn't know how to answer them. Derek and Addison were getting along, but their relationship was still stressed. Georgie always helped to break the ice. She would always say something or do something that would make both of them feel more comfortable. Addison sat drumming her pen against the legal pad which lay in front of her daring her to forget to write something down. She was making a grocery list for Derek, he had promised to go by the grocery on his way home. As she sat racking her brain to make sure she didn't miss something her cell phone rang. "Hello."

"Hey babe." said the familiar voice.

"Hey Brian how are you?" she asked with as much fake enthusiasm as she could muster.

"I'm good; I can't wait to see you. Listen I coming into town tonight, and wanted to take you to dinner, would that be okay?"

Addison didn't want to say yes, but honestly she didn't have a valid reason to say no. "Sure that sounds great. What time?"

"Oh say about 7:30. I'll pick you up. Where are you staying?"

"Um it is way out in the middle of nowhere, how about I just meet you at your hotel?"

"Sure if you say so. I am staying at the Sheraton, room 605." Addison heard him release a happy sigh. "Gosh, I can't wait to see you. Well, I guess I will talk to you later. Love you."

"Me too." she said stiffly.

"Bye Ad."

"Bye Brian." With that she hung up and laid her face in her hands.

"Mommy." Georgie said loudly as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah baby." Addison picked up Georgie and set her in her lap.

"When are you having the baby?"

Addison looked at her startled. "What are you talking about? Georgie mommy is not having a baby."

"But you kissed daddy, and Steph said that when your mommy and daddy kiss that they have a baby." She looked up at Addison with her big green eyes.

Addison sighed. Steph was one of Georgie's little playmates from New York. "Sweetie babies don't come from kissing."

"Then where do they come from?" She asked as she played with her baby doll.

"They come from...heaven." Addison prayed that would be enough to satisfy her.

"Oh, okay. Thank you mommy. Now I know I have to pray for a baby brother or sister." She grinned, jumped off of Addi's lap and ran up to her room.

Addi just laughed. She stood up and went to the stove to make a cup of tea. She was worried about the date, and how it would go. She cared for Brian, but she was in love with Derek. She knew that her relationship with Derek was different, but she couldn't help feel that it wasn't over.

"Hey, I'm home." Derek called out from the door.

Addison left the stove to go and greet him. She was almost bulldozed by Georgie who ran down the stairs and into her father's open arms. "Daddy! You're home!" she screamed.

"Yeah I got off early. How was your day?"

Georgie shrugged. "Good." She wiggled from his arms and ran back upstairs.

"My gosh does she ever run out of energy?" Derek asked exhausted.

"Not that I know of; she has always been like that." Addison looked down at her feet then back up at him. "Do you think you could watch Georgie tonight?" She asked following him into the kitchen.

"Yeah no problem, why?" He asked as he grabbed a bottled water out of the refrigerator.

"I...Brian is coming to Seattle tonight, and he wants to take me to dinner."

Derek stood silent. "Yeah, I can watch her, but I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know. I will be home by midnight, at the latest."

"You mean Brian is not going to get lucky tonight?" He asked jokingly.

"I am not discussing my sex life with you." she said haughtily.

"Aww come on Addi. I used to be part of it; I think I deserve to know about it." He said following her into the living room.

She turned back to face him. "The last time you were a part of my sex life you got me pregnant. I would rather not do that again right now thank you." she said in a hushed voice.

Derek walked towards her and placed his mouth right against her ear. "You have to admit we had fun making her." he said in a soft whisper.

If only Derek knew what that did to her. Addison stepped back and raised her eyebrows. "That is the end of this discussion. Can you watch her or not?"

He smiled a schoolboy smile. "I can watch her. I can't believe you are denying me a few details."

Wanting to give him a taste of his own medicine she walked up to him and whispered in his ear. "Who said I was denying you anything." with that she walked away leaving him with chills.

God, he loved that woman. She was the only one who knew how to love him, and how to irritate him at the same time. He would watch Georgie, but he would be miserable knowing she was with some other man. He would ignore his feelings, and simply do as she asked. He only wanted to make her happy.

-That Evening-

Addison was running around the house trying to get ready in time for her to call a cab, and then meet Brian at his hotel. "Has anyone seen my Jimmy Chooblack high heals?" she yelled from upstairs. Derek and Georgie were sitting on the couch watching Arial and eating popcorn while Addison was panicking.

"No, did you check in the box in the hall?" Derek yelled back up at her.

"Dad who is Timmy Shoo?" Georgie asked wide eyed.

Derek chuckled at her attempt on the name. "Jimmy Choo is a famous shoe maker."

"Oh." she said and then turned back to watch her movie.

"Okay I think I am ready. I have my shoes, purse, cell, keys, lipstick, money, and license. Now all I need is my coat, and to call a cab." She walked into the living room and laid her purse down to go get her coat.

"You look pretty mommy." Georgie said in aww as Addison came back in the room.

"Thank you sweetie." She leaned down and lightly kissed Georgie's forehead.

"She's right, you look amazing." Derek said as he stood to help her with her coat.

Addison turned her face slightly and was almost nose to nose with him. "Thank you." she said softly. There was a moment, small and priceless, shared between them. They just stared into each other's eyes, and lost themselves for a fleeting moment.

Snapping out of the moment Derek pulled her hair out of her coat and fixed the collar. "You know I could take you to the hotel, and that way you wouldn't have to call a cab."

"No, I can't ask you to do that."

Derek held up his hand to silence her. "I insist, and while we are in town Georgie and I can grab some pizza from Tom's."

"Yeah!" Georgie squealed and jumped down off of the couch. "Please mommy can we come?" She asked with big eyes.

"Sure, I would like the ride." she looked down at Georgie and smiled. "Now don't you eat too much young lady."

"I won't, I promise." she said seriously.

"Well come on then, we better go if we want to get you to your date on time." He picked up Georgie and carried her into the hallway to get her coat and shoes on.

Addison knew that Derek wasn't doing this out of the kindness of his heart; he was doing it so he could see what kind of man Brian was. Unfortunately for him Addison was meeting Brian at his hotel room, not in the lobby. She smiled thinking that this would be a good way to torture him, but then decided that this was too much of a tender subject to mess with. They all got into the black Mercedes and sped away, both adults in apprehension of the night ahead.

-11:00 pm- Sheppard Residence-

Addison quietly tiptoed upstairs to her bedroom and shut the door. She slid down the door and sat in sloched posistion. Laying her head in her hands she began to think about the events which had just occured. There was one thing she could not get past; Brian had proposed. She knew it would happen eventually, but not now. She had told him that she would think about it, but couldn't promise anything. She cared for him, truly she did, but she didn't love him. Not now, now that she had grown closer to Derek she couldn't love any other man. Slowly she took off her dress clothes, and slipped into some pajama pants and a tank top. She pulled her hair into a long ponytail and crawled into bed. Addison simply laid there pondering many different things. She needed to tell him something, she had to before she lost the nerve. Caustiously she walked toward his room, and slowly opened his door. Slipping inside she shut it, trying to keep the light from the hallway from spilling in. She stood there just watching him, not knowing what to say.

"Addison?" he asked sleepily. She drew in a quick breath, as she was startled. "Are you okay? Is Georgie okay?" He sat up in bed and tried to focus his eyes.

"We're fine, I just...I just wanted to tell you that I ...I wanted to say...I wanted to appologize for what I did. I had no excuse to sleep with Mark. I know you weren't there, and that I needed you, but that is still no excuse for what I did, and I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you." She stood silent, and willed the tears to go away, but they were not listening. "Anyway, um...goodnight." She said quickly before she burst into tears. As she turned to leave he stopped her.

"You're crying." He said louder than a whisper. "Come here." He beckoned her to come sit beside him, and like a child she ran to his arms.

She laid her head on his chest and began to sob. "I am so sorry, I know I shouldn't have done it, but... I am so sorry. You will never know how much I hate myself for it. I am sorry, I'm sorry,..." She was sobbing uncontrolably now, and all he could do to help was hold her.

Derek began to rock back and forth, and rubbing his hand in gentle circles on her back. She was holding on to him with all of her might, and it didn't look like she would be letting go anytime soon. "Addison." He said softly once she had calmed down some. "Addison look at me." Slowly she tilted her stained face up so she could see him. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears, and he finally understood how sorry she was. "I forgive you." He said lovingly.

"Thank you." she said as a few more tears streamed down her cheeks.

"My pleasure." He pulled her back to him, and just held her. "Addison what brought this on, what happened tonight?"

"Derek I promise I will tell you about the date, but just not tonight."

"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"

"What made you love Meredith?"

"Come on Addi." He said annoyed.

"No, Derek, I am not asking because I'm jealous, but because I want to know." She looked up at him waiting for an answer.

He sighed, why did he love Meredith? Did he love Meredith? He thought that he did at the time, but in hindsight he wasn't quite sure. "I think it was because she was the opposite of you. You're sophisticated, usually quiet, passive agressive," on this he looked over at her and smiled " you don't need anyone to tell you what you are good at, and so many other things. Meredith was young, naive, well whatever the opposite of your qualities are. Now that I think about I'm not so sure I loved Meredith as much as I thought I did. Maybe it is good she moved on with that guy, whatever his name was." He looked down at Addi and smiled. "Now a question for you."

"Oh boy." she said with a small laugh.

"Why did you come back and fight? I know you stayed with Mark after I left, so why come back?"

"I intially came for business. I wasn't going to fight, because I thought you deserved someone better than me, someone who hadn't treated you the way I did. But when I saw you with her something inside me exploded. I was so mad, but then I thought why be mad at him?You are the one who did this to yourself. So I decided I wanted to fight for you, I wanted you back." She looked down at her hands. "I cared for Mark, he was there when you didn't want to be, he would talk to me like you used to do. I saw in him what I had loved in you, and one night I lost my mind, and did what I did."

"How about we start over?"

"What?"

Derek smiled. "Hi, my name is Derek Sheppard."

Addison laughed. "Oh come on you know that if we were meeting for the first time again we would not be polite. We almost killed each other when we had to dance together. I remember how much you hated taking that class, but it was the only elective open so you had to, then we were partners." She shook her head thinking about how they were really lucky there had been no bloodshed.

Derek laughed along with her."That's true, but this is the older version of us. We are smarter than we were back then."

"Yes your right I am, but you on the other hand." she smiled tauntingly.

"Hey, I have matured, some."

They laid there and talked for a while. They talked about everything.They laughed so hard that they cried. "Oh, oh, it hurts." Addison said holding her stomache and wiping some tears away. "I haven't laughed like this in years." she said as she sighed in contentment. She looked over and saw Derek staring at her. "What?" she asked as her lips formed a crooked smile.

"Oh, nothing, just trying to picture you pregnant."

"Ughh...don't do that. I was huge." She said as she laughed at Derek's face.

"No you weren't."

"Yes I was, seriously I looked like a beached whale." she said as she laughed.

"Impossible." he said in a hushed voice. He gently cupped her face in his hands and stared into her eyes. "I missed you."

She swallowed hard. "I missed you too."

"No, I am not talking about missing you the past four years, becuase I knew where you were. I missed you, the old Addison. The one who could laugh at anything, tell me everything, conquer every obsticle. I haven't seen her until right now."

Addison held back the tears threatening to flow. "I missed her too. She was scared, scared of hurting someone, and being hurt herself." She gazed into his eyes. "She's not scared anymore." As if in slow motion their lips connected. It quickly became heated. Addison knew she should tell him about Brian, but she didn't want to. She couldn't. She would simply break it off with Brian, and move on with Derek. Pushing the objections out of her mind, she lost herself in his arms.

-The Next Morning-

Addison scooted next to the heat she felt iminating from whatever was beside her. It didn't take her mind long to remember who it was. This caused a small smile to break out on her lips. She felt his arm wrap around her waist. Cracking her eye open she glanced at the clock next to her. "Oh crap!" she yelled as she hurriedly lept up out of the bed.

"What?" Derek asked sleepily.

"I told Richard I would be in today to see one of their patients, you know consult. I am supposed to be there in thirty minutes. I am never going to make it." As she spoke she turned on the shower and jumped in, ignoring the fact that the water was ice cold. "Call Richard and tell him I am going to be running a few minutes late." A few minutes later Addison ran out of the bathroom clad in a towel with her hair dripping.

Derek stood up and wraped her in his arms. "Hey." he said sweetly.

"Derek I don't have time for this."

"Yes you do, the cheif gave you an extra hour. He said that the patient was running late too." He lovingly kissed her lips.

"I really need to get dressed." She pushed back. "Later." She quickly left the room and went to hers to finish getting ready.

"Mommy!" Georgie squealed as she ran into Addie's room.

Addison was putting the finishing touches on her makeup when the toddler grabbed her hand. "Goodmorning baby." she leaned over and pecked the little girl's forehead.

"Mommy, Isthe just called and said I could stay with her today. Please mommy!" Georgie pleaded.

"Sure tell her it is okay, she can pick you up here."

"Yay!" she screamed and ran out.

Addison walked downstairs, and grabbed her briefcase and coat. "Now make sure she has her hat, gloves, and coat on. I don't want her catching pneumonia."

"I know Addie, I will take care of her." He leaned in and kissed her softly. "Bye."

"Bye. I will see you later baby."

"Bye mommy!" Georgie said between bites of oatmeal.

Addison walked out the door with a smile that wouldn't go away. She had her family back, she had her life back, and she was happier than she had ever been.

-Sheppard Residence-

Georgie was waiting patiently on Izzie, well as patient as a four year old can be. Derek had her all bundled up, and she looked like a little eskimo. The door bell rang and Georgie ran to the door. "Isthe!" she yelled when she reached the door. Pulling it open she was disappointed to see someone she didn't know. "You're not Isthe."

"Hi, is this where Derek Sheppard lives?" the lady asked.

"No, my daddy lives here." She said matter of factly.

Derek came to the door. "Who is it..." He stopped seeing the face of someone he had never exspected to see again.

"Hi Derek." the blonde said meekly.

"Meredith."

A/N- OMG...what is going to happen? Well I guess you will have to wait and see. I have decided to finish this one up, then finish my other one, if that is okay with you guys. Please Review! Sorry if some of the spelling is messed up, my computer thing is screwed up!
