"You look relaxed," Izzie said to Derek as he entered the elevator, "I guess that the vacation went well."

"Very well, I am very relaxed."

"Addison didn't come in?"

"She'll come in later,' Derek smiled, "She is having a bit of a nervous breakdown."

Izzie grinned, "Is she huge?"

"She's not huge," Derek grinned, "But she most definitely can't hide it anymore."

"Oh this is so great." Izzie squealed, "I am so happy."

"Me to."

Addison stood nervously in front of the elevator. She had never been so nervous in her life. Everybody was about to find out that she was pregnant. She had been away for almost 6 weeks and her appearance had changed dramatically. She couldn't hide the baby with sweaters and baggy scrubs anymore. So instead of hiding the fact that she was pregnant she was wearing a white top and jeans that showed it off.

The elevator door opened. Addison found herself looking straight at Meredith Grey.

"Hello Dr. Shepherd," Meredith said.

"Meredith," Addison stepped into elevator.

They stood in silence for a moment.

"Please tell me that you or Izzie let the cat out the bag while we were gone and everybody knows."

Meredith laughed, "Sorry. Somewhere along the line we learned to keep our mouths shut."

"Great."

"Actually," Meredith reflected, "Just so that your prepared, currently, everyone thinks that you and Derek have split up, so people are going to be really surprised to see... all of you."

"Thanks," Addison smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Well you can't disappear for over a month and then show up 7 months pregnant and think that people wont..."

"8 months, actually" Addison corrected "32 weeks, that's 8. So everyone...?"

"Is completely clueless," Meredith saw her face fall. "Hey, if I can be happy for you then everyone else will be ecstatic."

"I hope so," Addison murmured as they exited the elevator.

"And Neonatal is going to flip-out. They have been going crazy without you."

"Really? I thought that they hated me," Addison was pleased.

"Are you kidding. Izzie hasn't been able to walk through there in weeks."

"Izzie? Why?"

Meredith stopped, "They didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Addison stopped and turned to Meredith.

Meredith shook her head, "It was the best gossip, even if it turned out to be completely untrue. And of course I was the last to find out, 'cause well it was about you, and well Derek, and then strangely enough Izzie."

"Meredith!"

"Did you just stamp your foot?"

"No," Addison tried to hide a smile, "But I will if you don't tell me what's going on."

"Basically, people assumed that you had left because you found out that Derek was sleeping with an intern. And it wasn't me." Meredith raised an eyebrow and continued down the hall.

"Poor Izzie."

"I know. Seriously. And then they just let people think it was true."

"Why? That's ridiculous."

"That's what I said," Meredith exclaimed, "But, I guess, they knew the truth would come out eventually, and this way you could protect your secret."

"It's still ridiculous."

"I know." Meredith glanced at Addison and laughed, "Addison, you look like you are being sent to your death,"

"Everyone is looking at me," Addison replied with a small smile.

"You suddenly dropped off the face of the planet for almost 6 weeks and come back 7 times your normal size. Besides, they are looking at us," Meredith corrected, " We are walking down the hall together, laughing about how your husband is sleeping with an intern, who isn't me. Actually the fact that both these things are happening at the same time is the real gossip."

Addison laughed as they approached the nurses station which, as luck would have it, everyone was gathered around.

Izzie saw Addison and Meredith approaching, and nodded to Derek.

Derek turned around and beaming, held out his hand to his wife, "That wasn't so hard was it," he asked as he kissed her on the cheek and placed his other hand on her stomach.

Everyone was staring at them.

"Your kidding me right?" she murmured.

"Why didn't anyone wake me up?" Bailey demanded rushing around the corner, almost running straight into Addison. She took a step back, puzzled,"How long have I be asleep for?" she asked staring at Addison stomach, which was just about at her eye level.

"There you are," Richard said joining them, "Yup, this one is a keeper," He grinned and hugged Addison.

"Your pregnant?" Cristina said, stating the obvious.

"With my namesake," Richard replied proudly, "He is my namesake right?"

"In a middle name sort of way," Addison answered touching her stomach as the baby kicked her.

"I thought you left..." Cristina was still puzzled.

"Weren't you suppose to be..." Alex turned to Izzie.

"You actually believed that?" Meredith admonished.

"You believed it," Tyler pointed out.

"I am... SO confused," George muttered.

As the arguments continued over who believed what and when, with Bailey claiming she has suspected all along, Addison and Derek stood quietly to the side, Derek laughing when the baby kicked her so hard you could see it through her shirt.

"So, you finally named him?" Izzie asked as she reached across the counter to feel the baby kick.

Everyone instantly fell silent, wanting to hear the name.

"This little guy has been named for awhile," Derek grinned, "He just took his time showing up."

"So..."

"Montgomery Richard..." Derek began.

"Emery for short, Montgomery is to long for a baby," Addison interrupted beaming.

"They look happy don't they," Meredith whispered to Tyler as the stood apart from everyone else.

"They really do," Tyler agreed, "Coffee?"

"You read my mind." Meredith replied happily as Tyler put his arm around her waist as they walked away, "You know that kid is inheriting some serious hair genes."
