A/N-Well the second chapter appears to be another hit. This is so amazing. I am really glad you guys enjoy the story so much, well on with the show.

-SGH-

Addison stood at the nurses' desk flipping through a patient's file. It had been a week since she had found out about the baby. She still had not told Derek, even though she knew she should. She placed her head in her hand and sighed as she debated which course of action to take on her new patient. Before she could decide she was distracted by a small child. "Auntie A, Auntie A, Auntie A…" Addison turned a saw her little niece running towards her. She smiled a genuine smile and squatted down to the little girl's level. "Emmy!" She cried as she held out her arms. She was soon hit with the child's body. Addison stood up and spun the small child around. Once Addison stopped she looked down at the child. "What are you doing here Emmy?"

"She came along for the ride." said a familiar voice

Addison turned around and saw Derek's sister approaching her. "Lauren, what are you doing here?" She asked as she approached the woman.

They gave each other a tight hug. Lauren had always liked Addison, even after what she had done. Lauren was right under Derek in the family lineup. "Ross had a meeting and I convinced him to bring me with him. We had a babysitter for Emmy but she backed out on me, so we had to bring Emmy with us. Luckily Derek offered to baby-sit for us."

"You mean Derek and Meredith are keeping her for the weekend?" Addison asked surprised. She leaned down and gave Emmy a soft kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, surprising I know." Lauren placed a hand on her hip and smiled as her husband approached them. "Addison I know you are busy and all, but would you…"

Addison started talking before Lauren could finish. "I would love to watch her. You can pick her up whenever you need to."

"Are you sure?" Lauren asked relieved. Addison simply nodded and pulled Emmy closer. "I really appreciate it. Ross and I had planned on going to the hotel then doing a little sight seeing. We should be done by 10:30 tonight. You can drop her off at Derek's before then if you want." Lauren walked over to Emmy and kissed her forehead. "You'll be good for Auntie A right?" She asked in a motherly tone.

"Of course mommy; I love Auntie A." She said with a big grin.

"Yes, I know." She kissed the little girl's forehead. "Again thank you so much Addison."

"Like I said it's no problem. I'm excited about spending some one on one girl time." Addison nuzzled her face into Emmy's neck.

"Well here is her bag. It has some clothes and some snacks in it. There is enough stuff in there to keep her occupied. Anyway I am just rambling on." Lauren ran a hand through her long blonde hair. "Oh, and my cell phone number is in the front pocket, and…"

Ross grabbed his wife's arm. "Lauren if we don't leave then all of this information will be useless. Thank you Addison and it was good to see you again."

Addison smiled at Ross' quiet demeanor. "You're welcome, and I hope to see you two again before we leave."

"Definitely." Lauren yelled back behind her as Ross ushered her to the elevators.

Addison looked down at Emmy. "Well sister it's just you and me now. So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know." She shrugged. Emmy laid her head on Addison's shoulder and nuzzled her face into her neck. "I missed you Auntie A." She said softly.

"I missed you too Em." Addison could not explain how much she had missed the vibrant four year old. "How about you come with me and help me work?"

"Really? I can help you be a doctor?" Addison nodded. "Can I change first?"

"Change into what?"

Emmy squirmed from her aunt's arms and down to the floor. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a set of clothes. "I want to wear these." She shoved them up at Addison.

Addison unfolded the bundle and saw that it was a pair of little scrubs with a small white jacket that had Emmy's name on it. Addison laughed lightly and smiled down at Emmy. "Who made these for you?"

"Grandma; she said that now I would look like you and Uncle Derek. Can I go change?"

"Yes, come on let's go find somewhere for you to change." She took the little girl's hand and led her down the hall. The small girl's honey blonde curls were bouncing as she walked. She had a handful of freckles sprinkled across her nose, and definitely her uncle's smile. Addison found an empty room and helped Emmy change. She was so adorable in her small green scrubs and little white lab coat.

"How do I look?" She asked as she stood in front of her aunt.

"Just like a doctor. Come with me I have a patient to attend to." Addison took Emmy's hand and set off to work.

-6 Hours Later-

Addison sat and watched as Derek interacted with Emmy. All of Addison's patients had simply adored Emmy and were much more cooperative with her there. Derek sat with Emmy in his lap reading her Green Eggs and Ham. Emmy could "read" some of the parts because she had simply memorized it. Addison's hand traveled down to her flat stomach. She sighed, thinking about how to tell him that he was going to be a father. None of the scenarios were ending like she wanted them to. "Addi." Derek said pulling her out of her reverie.

"Yeah?"

"You okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You keep laying your hand on your stomach like you feel sick or something."

"Oh, it's that time of the month." She said with a small smile.

Derek smiled and nodded. "Oh, okay I get it now."

Addison was glad that he seemed satisfied with her answer. At that time Meredith walked into the exam room and stood at the door. "Uh…Derek…uh are you ready to go?" She said nervously. She was not uncomfortable because of Addison, but because of Emmy. She never had been good with kids.

"Uh…yeah. You ready to go squirt?" he asked as he looked down at Emmy. She nodded and got her stuff. Then she went and took Addison's hand. "Emmy what are you doing?"

"Isn't Auntie A coming with us?"

Derek sighed. "No Emmy she's not."

The girl began to tear up and Addison took over. "I promise that you can see me tomorrow, but tonight you have to go home with Uncle D and Meredith. Okay?"

Emmy nodded her head. "Okay. I love you." She said as she gave Addison a tight hug.

"I love you too."

-The Next Day-

Derek walked into the on call room and fell onto a bed. "You too huh?"

He looked over at Addison who was lying on the bed opposite him. "Emmy would not sleep last night. All she did was cry and say how much she wanted you and her mom and dad. Then Meredith started flipping out and telling me how we were never going to have kids if they acted up like Emmy did. Well then I yelled at her for yelling at me and talking bad about my niece, and everything just went downhill." He ran a hand through his hair.

"Why didn't you just call me? I would have come over."

"I thought we could handle it and I didn't want to wake you up."

"Derek did she even sleep last night?"

"Did who sleep last night?"

"Did Meredith sleep last night?"

"I don't think so. She was mad at me and then Emmy kept crying for you and I think that made Meredith upset. Why are you asking?"

"Because she was assigned to me today and if she is that tired I don't want her to be working. It's not that I don't trust her, but I have been there and done the surgery on no sleep thing, which is very dangerous."

Derek nodded his head in agreement. "Last night when Emmy was crying for you all I could think was 'I wish Addi was here too' because I knew you would know what to do. I kind of felt bad for Mer…" he said chuckling. "She was an absolute mess."

At that moment Meredith stormed into the room. Emmy was on her hip crying her eyes out. "Auntie A! I want Auntie A!"

"Emmy baby, I'm right here. Come here." Addison stood quickly and took the little girl from Meredith's arms.

Emmy clung to her aunt and cried into her shoulder. Addison sat down on the edge of the bed. She placed Emmy in her lap so Emmy could see her. "Em look at me." Emmy looked up at her aunt. "I'm here baby; you need to stop crying okay." Emmy nodded and sniffled.

"I wanted you Auntie A, but …" she sniffled again. "But Uncle Derek said that …that you could not come for me."

Emmy started to cry harder again, so Addison pulled her closer to her. Emmy nuzzled her small face into Addison's neck. Addison pulled Emmy to where she was straddling her lap and rocked Emmy back and forth rubbing her hand along Emmy's back. "Shhh…" It didn't take long before Emmy was sound asleep. In fact it had only been ten minutes since Meredith had brought her to Addison.

Derek stood and walked over to Meredith. "How are you doing?"

"Fine." She said through clenched teeth. It made her so mad that Emmy would not behave for her. She was definitely not cut out to be a mother, and she made sure last night that Derek understood that.

Addison stood up with Emmy in her arms. "It's okay Meredith. She is in a new place with people she doesn't know; it's not you."

Meredith just nodded her head. "Right, not me, it's her." She said as she stormed out of the room.

-2 Hours Later-

Meredith walked up to Derek who was standing by the elevators waiting on one that would be going down. "Guess what!" she said excitedly.

"What?" Derek asked with a sarcastic grin.

Meredith slapped his arm playfully. "Addison agreed to keep Emmy for us tonight, which means we will be able to finally get some sleep." Meredith smiled up at him. She expected to see a smile mirrored on his face, but instead was met with a look of shock and anger.

"You pawned off my niece to Addison?"

"Well it is her niece too."

"God Meredith why are you doing this?"

"Look I thought I was doing us a favor. Excuse me for trying to help." She said angrily.

"No what you are trying to make life easier for you by getting rid of my niece like she is nothing."

"Look I'm sorry okay."

"Well Meredith sorry isn't going to cut it this time." With that Derek stormed off.

-Addison's Apartment- 11:00 pm-

Addison had just put Emmy to bed in the spare bedroom when there was a knock at the door. She ran quickly to get it, praying it would not wake Emmy up. Addison would have had her in bed hours ago, but since Emmy hadn't slept a wink the night before and then slept all day her sleeping pattern was off. Addison opened the door and saw Derek standing there. "Derek what are you doing here?"

Derek walked in quickly and began to pace the living room. "I talked to Bailey today and she asked me how you were feeling. I told her you were fine and she said okay. But when she said okay I could tell she was trying to cover up something. So I asked her what would be wrong with you and she said nothing, but I didn't believe her, so I asked her again what was going on and she told me to ask you. Addison why are you keeping secrets from me? You are the only person in my life right now that I can be completely honest with." He stopped pacing and walked over to where she was standing. "Look I want the truth from you."

"It's nothing Derek."

"Don't lie to me Addison, don't do it. I do not need this from you."

"What is that supposed to mean?" She asked angrily.

"I am fed up with Meredith lying to me about how she is doing; I don't need this from my wife too!"

They both stood silent. Derek had called her his wife, which caught them both off guard. Addison slowly walked up to him. "I am not your wife." She spat out. "I don't have to tell you anything." She took a deep breath. "Now get out of my apartment." She said through clenched teeth.

"No, not until you tell me what is going on with you." He stood firmly in place.

"Why should I tell you? You will know in nine months."

Derek stood there trying to absorb her words. "What are you saying?" He asked in a more gentle tone.

Addison hung her head. "When we were in New York…you know what happened." Derek nodded his head. "I…I…" her hand slid down to her stomach. "I'm pregnant."
