originally posted this story on TI, this was my very first try at fanfic, so I hope you enjoy. This is an Addek story, I always wondered why he chose Addison over Meredith, so this is my take on it.
Disclaimer: I in no way own or have anything to do with the characters on GA or the show itself.
The Reason Why – Addek
Part I
The interns were gathered around the message board and they were discussing the likelihood of any of them playing for the surgeon baseball team.
George stammered, "I. . . I can play baseball." "I'm a good baseball player," he asserted.
"Seriously you want to play baseball?" Cristina asked shaking her head. "There is no way you would catch me out there, besides I doubt they will let interns play," Cristina said sure of herself.
"Of course they are gonna let us play surgeons are some of the most competitive people out there, and if they want a winning team they will want some of us on their team." Alex gave George look that said he doubted they would want him on the team.
"Really guys I'm a good baseball player," George stated more firmly.
Izzie look up and saw The She-Shepherd approaching them and said, "Hey Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd are you going to sign up for the surgeon baseball team?"
"What?" she asked not really paying attention to what was asked.
"The surgeon baseball team, are you going to sign up?" Izzie asked again.
A pained look flashed across Addison face, but she quickly regained her composure. "No Dr. Stevens I have no plans of signing up for the baseball team, if you will excuse me, I have a patient to check up on." She quickly turned and walked back in the direction she had come from.
The interns exchanged looks; Meredith said, "That was weird".
Just then Dr. McDreamy walked up behind them and asked curiously, "What's weird?"
The interns exchanged looks again and Izzie said, "Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd not waiting to sign up for the surgeon baseball team."
"Oh I see," Derek's face became distressed.
"So what about you Dr. Shepherd, are you going to sign up for the baseball team?" George asked.
Derek gave them a weak smile and quietly said, "No I don't play baseball." He walked off in the same direction Addison had taken.
The interns once again exchanged looks and Izzie said, "Whoa what's up with the Shepherds and baseball?"
They saw Chief Webber approaching. Alex asked, "Dr. Webber are the interns allowed to sign up for the surgeon baseball team? Bet you will need us since it seems like some of the attendings don't seem to like baseball".
"Sure Karev the interns can sign up, and what do you mean that the attendings don't like baseball?" asked the chief looking puzzled.
Meredith spoke up, "Both Drs. Shepherd said they wouldn't sign up."
For a moment Chief Webber had a sad look on his face, but quickly turned to a neutral look "Yeah I didn't expect them to sign up, but you are all more then welcome to sign on. I'm sure you will all give us a winning team this year."
Derek slowly approached Addison; he could see she was struggling to compose herself. He walked up to her and put his arms around her, she leaned into him. They didn't say a word they just stood there in each other's arms.
