Hey! I'll try to get the next chapter up by tonight, or maybe tomorrow. Depends how maybe pretty reviews I get. Hope you like it!

Suddenly I See

And she's taller than most,
And she's looking at me,
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine,
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower,
A big strong tower,
She got the power to be,
The power to give,
The power to see,
Suddenly I see...

5:00am

Addison's eyes slowly opened as she listened to the rhythm of Derek's heart. To her surprise he was already awake, charting her breathing pattern.

"Good morning." He took her hand and intertwined their fingers.

"Great night." She smiled and looked up at his sparkling blue eyes.

"You know," he laid there playing with her fingers, "We could make it a great morning too." He smiled and kissed her delicately on the lips.

"Oh, I wish we could, but we have work…" She said as she pulled away and sat up. He sat up with her and wrapped his arms around her bare stomach and began to kiss her neck. "Derek." She whined.

"Fine, fine, but you don't know what you're missing." He let go of her and she walked into the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower…a quick one. You can join me. But we are not going to be late for work. You know how Richard is." She peeked her head out the bathroom door as she ran the shower. Derek hopped to his feet and soon the two were soon one.

7:00am

"Let me guess, busy night, busy morning." Bailey walked up to Addison as she was applying her make up in the women's restroom.

"You don't even know."

"Oh, but I can imagine."

"Uh…Hi, Dr. Bailey, Dr. Shepherd." Izze walked into the bathroom, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh, Damn, Mr. Sylvester." Bailey looked down at her pager. "I got to run. Stevens, Addison." Izze walked into the bathroom stall. This is so awkward. Ok. I need to suck it up. I don't even have to go pee. Well, I'll flush the toilet anyways. She walked out of the stall and to the basin next to Addison.

"Dr. Shepherd." Izze smiled as she dried her hands and walked out the door. That was a close one.

11:35am

"Vanilla. Warm Vanilla Sugar." Derek said as he walked up to Addison.

"Well you were the one rubbing it all over me this morning. Weren't you? She smirked as she read over her patient's chart.

"Yes, yes, I was." He went behind her and vaguely got a whiff of her fresh sweet scent. "I remember it vividly now."

"Well, you know…there is always time to relive this moment…later…" And with that she walked away, she flipped her hair and looked behind her seeing Derek's puzzled face. It gave her great amusement.

1:45pm

Izze walked out into the courtyard, lunch tray in hand. Oh, you have got to be kidding me! Come on, no body else has lunch. SERIOUSLY! She scanned the room. God must HATE me. Her eyes darted between the two tables: Alex Karev or Addison Shepherd. She considered sitting by herself, but that's no fun, and he would probably come over to talk to her. So she opted for table number two: Addison. She walked over to Addison's table.

"Do you mind if I sit here?" She asked.

"No not at all.Go ahead Stevens." Addison answered with a puzzled look on her face.

"Izze…you can call me Izze." She settle down into the seat and opened up her bottle of water.

"Ok, well then. You can call me Addison." She looked down at her salad and smiled, yet she was still confused to why Izze had sat with her of all people. Awkward Silence.

"St-Izze? Why did you decide to sit over here?" Addison asked, trying to break the awkward silence.

"Truthfully?" Addison nodded. "Ok, it was either sit with Alex, sit by myself and risk him coming over to talk to me, or sit with you. I opted for you."

"Oh, well I feel special." Addy sighed and had a sip of her water.

"NO. No I didn't mean it that way." Izze felt terrible.

"Izze, it's ok. I understand. With Meredith, and the whole baby thing, I-" Addison was cut off.

"About that. Addison. I knew you were trying to teach me a lesson. I got that. It, it just-"

"It was cruel…right?"

"Yes."

"I know. Richard did the same thing to me when I was his intern. It killed me. But it made me a better doctor. And it will make you a better doctor. I believe you have great potential to be the next Neonatal prodigy. "

"Neonatal prodigy?"

"Yes. I've seen how you work. You are amazing. You remind me, of well, me when I was an intern. My offer is still on the table. If you are willing to take it, I can teach you the rules of the trade. You could possibly be the second Addison Shepherd."

"I think I'll take you up on your offer. Sounds like a good deal to me."

"Great. I set things up with Miranda. You'll be my star intern. You can fly with me, a guarantee you'll be in every surgery of mine."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Wow. Addison. I-Thank you. I mean I've worked so hard to get where I am today. Just thank you."

"Your welcome."

"I just don't know how to thank you…I mean, it's just like Seriously!"

"You've already thanked me. I have surgery, so maybe we can have lunch some other time. This was…nice."

"Yeah, it was. Definitely. Tomorrow? Is that good?"

"Yes, that would be fine. Talk to you later Izze."

"Bye, Addison." That wasn't so bad. Neonatal Prodigy? Seriously! I can't believe this. I…I have to go tell George.

4:55pm

"I just made Stevens' day." Addison walked up to Bailey.

"Oh really?" She shut her chart and looked at the redhead.

"Yep. Now I just have to clarify things with you. She agreed to let me teach her my dark ways of neonatology. I guaranteed her a spot in every one of my surgeries. That way I can teach her all there is to know. I just need your approval and... "

"You have mine"

"Thank you"

"No I should be thanking you. One less intern I have to worry about."

"Well, I think we should have a celebratory drink at Joe's then, say 7:30?"

"No can do. I got a date with the mis-" Miranda was cut off by the cell phone. She put a finger up and answered the call.

"What do you mean she canceled?….Tucker Jones, I have not been out to a nice romantic dinner with you for five months now, we are finding somebody to watch him, cause I am getting my lobster bisque." Addison made a gestured to let her talk to Tucker. Miranda gave her the phone.

"Hey Tucker, it's Addison. I'd be happy to watch William for you guys. No, no, no, I insist. Ok. You're welcome, it's no problem. Ok, see you later then. Buy Bye." She hung up the phone and then turned to Bailey. "Problem solved."

"Are you sure Addison."

"Positive."

"Ok then. Tuck will be in the lobby around 7:20."

"Great, see you later Miranda." Addison said as she walked away.

So did you like it? I was a little unsure of how to put the whole babysitting part in there. Did it sound ok? You know I LOVE LOVE reviews!
