Daddy's Little Girl
Guest: Yeah, we really cannot picture Addie camping :D So it could be interesting.
LoveLastsForever: Thank you :) And I really don't like Meredith, maybe that showed the last time.. Oh well, here the new update is, but you'll have to wait a little for the updates on the other stories, I'm sorry.
Addison-fan: Yeah, I really want them to have a kid at some point, I will probably have reached chapter 1000 because things are progressing so slowly! Okay, I know that I could have gotten more out of this chapter, it's pretty boring but I'll make up for it!
Luvaddek: Well, this is the new and revised Addison and she really doesn't like to share :D
Msmiumiu: There won't be any M rating that soon :D because I really haven't written that yet and I'm terrible at M rating so it'll take me a while.
Alright, everyone, I get that this chapter is a little boring, very fluffy and all BUT I have a big test coming up soon so be happy for the update on this story (because I already had it finished) because the others will have to wait until I'm prepared and will have probably failed my test! Sorry!
The One With The Camping Trip
"You do know that, thanks to you, I don't only have to hear about how unfair it is that we don't have a dog but I also have to go camping?" Addison whispered to Derek, who only looked very amused as Grace squealed whenever she saw a dog, which was quite often, considering they were at an animal shelter.
"You'll love camping." He obviously knew that she wouldn't but he might as well try to be positive about their camping trip.
"Can't you just get a puppy?" Grace got off the ground and looked at Derek.
"You know, everyone wants puppies but the older dogs normally don't get adopted so easily." He told her walked after the little girl when she pulled him further down the path. "So, which one do you like best?"
"Him." Grace pointed at a brown Labrador who seemed extremely calm and very happy to have someone's attention. "He's the cutest!"
"Alright." Derek chuckled and kneeled down in front of the dog to say hello.

"I just don't understand why we couldn't just take Max with us." Grace sat in the back of Derek's car and pouted.
"Because it takes some time to get to know a dog and it takes a lot of time for them to get to know you. Plus, I don't think it would be the best idea to drag poor Max camping on his first weekend at his new home, would it?" Derek explained.
"It's not fair to drag me camping but yet you do it." Addison whispered and Grace just giggled at that.
"Camping will be so much fun!" Grace squealed excitedly.

"I seriously can't believe I was so stupid to ask out my boss who is also everything but single." Meredith groaned, still not exactly over the fact that her big crush was dating someone else.
"It really was worth a try, we all had no idea that there was something going on between them." Izzie tried, but by now she was also a little annoyed because this had been going on for the last few weeks.
"Yeah, cause them making out in an on-call room really didn't already tell you anything." Alex mumbled and closed one of the books he had been looking through. "But, can't blame him, she's pretty hot."
"You're a pig." Izzie just rolled her eyes before turning towards Meredith again. "But now we know and that means you can concentrate on—"
"Concentrate on what, Stevens?" Miranda Bailey had come up behind them, her hand on her hip and a very displeased expression on her face. "Oh, I know, maybe on work rather than on your private lives?! Because those are over and done with as long as you're working for me!" When she caught Cristina Yang grinning a little she turned towards her. "I don't know why you're laughing, whatever it is you and Burke are doing has to stop as well." And with this Miranda Bailey made her way down the hall again.

"Mom! Hurry up, I want to see the lake!" Grace leaned against the tree when they had stopped to wait for her mother again. Derek had told them about this great lake that was only a few hours from his house and that they could camp right by that lake so, naturally, Grace was very excited to get there as fast as possible.
"Honey, mommy really isn't used to hiking…"Addison sighed when she came to stand next to Derek, who tried his best not to laugh right now.
"But you go running every day, you should be able to just walk…" Grace mumbled and continued down the rocky path in front of them.
"I swear, getting eaten by a bear sounds just too good right now." Addison glanced over at Derek, who seemed to be so completely in his element and still looked so handsome while she probably looked like she had climbed through mud and crawled under some barbed wire.
"Come on, it's not so bad." He kissed her cheek and was glad when she smiled. "And I am very glad that you decided not to wear perfume because, as much as I enjoy wild animals, they really are more fascinating from a safe distance." Derek chuckled when she rolled her eyes and walked after her daughter.
"How much longer?" She turned her head to look at him when he was next to her again.
"About an hour." And before he had even said it he had known that this wasn't at all what she had wanted to hear.
"Fantastic." Addison said, sarcasm dripping from her voice because while she liked that he lived in the middle of nowhere and nature in general but carrying an insanely heavy backpack and walking through forests where they (in her opinion) could get mauled by some animal, or whatever else was out there, wasn't her idea of a great, relaxing weekend.
"This is so awesome!" Grace grinned happily when they had reached the lake, Derek already busy setting up their tents. The water was glistening in the sun and they were surrounded by forest and completely isolated from everything else. "Can I look for fire wood?"
"How about you wait until your mom and I have set up the tents?" Derek chuckled at her enthusiasm and at her dramatic eye roll before she sat down on the stem of a tree that was on the ground. "She really is your daughter." Derek whispered to Addison, who just nudged him softly but she knew he really was right.
"So, I have to admit that it really is beautiful here." Addison looked at the lake before turning her head to smile at Derek when they had set up the tents.
"Oh, is this you enjoying camping? Because I think that I really could get on board with that." He grinned and wrapped his arm around her waist as they both turned their attention back to the nature around them.
"Are you two just going to stand there or can we go now?" Grace was a little annoyed because both her mother and Derek had forgotten all about the activities she had been so very excited about.
"Nope, we'll go look for firewood, come on." Derek chuckled and walked towards the little girl.
"So what else is on the agenda today?"
"Well, collecting firewood, fishing," he laughed when he saw the look on her face, "making a fire and then cooking the fish we caught."
"Really, fish?" Addison sighed when she saw him nod and Grace grin in pure excitement. This was going to be a long trip…

"Why do we only have two tents?" Grace looked at the two adults when they were all sitting around the fire, some eating the trout a lot more reluctantly than others.
"Uhm because you and I are sharing one?" Addison raised her eyebrows at her daughter. She already knew that there wouldn't be much time to sleep anyway because Grace got up incredibly early when they were camping, at least from what Addison remembered the two times she had agreed to go with them.
"But I always have my own tent." Grace protested. "You two can share because I'm already sharing with Carl." She put her plate away and got into her tent with Carl, who had been in her hand the entire day already. "Good night!"
Addison just turned her head to look at Derek, who was sitting next to her and tried his best not to laugh. "Please tell me you'll at least share your tent with me because I really don't want to sleep outside."
"Like I would ever let you sleep outside." He gave her one of his trademark smiles and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"I will be forever grateful." She whispered and moved a little closer towards him so that she now was sitting in between his legs. "Even though this entire camping trip really is your fault and so is the fact that I'm stuck here eating trout. And I hate trout."
"You know, I figured you'd complain about that so I did bring some marshmallows." He reached into his backpack that was behind him and got out the bag of marshmallows.
"Oh, you're perfect." She grinned. "Just don't let my daughter hear that there were marshmallows because she would eat the entire bag and then get sick…"
An hour later Derek and Addison were in the tent that they were now sharing, thanks to Grace, his arms wrapped around her and a blanket draped over both of them.
"Thank you for not letting me sleep outside." She whispered and closed the small gap between them to finally kiss him. Her fingers got lost in his hair as she pulled him as close as possible before moaning lowly when his tongue ran along her bottom lips, which she gladly parted. Whenever she was close to him Derek could swear that the world around them stopped turning for just a while because all he could think about was her. His hands moved from her hips slowly up her body and underneath the fabric of her shirt while she was already busy undoing the buttons of his shirt, immediately running her fingertips over the now exposed skin.
"We're supposed to be sleeping, you know." Derek whispered after having pulled back only a few inches.
"I know…" She sighed and pecked his lips again. "But just for the record, I'm sorry our first real sleepover involves my little daughter in the next tent."
"It's still fun, isn't it?" He kissed the top of her head that was now resting on his chest.
"It is but please don't make me do this every week. But you've made Gracie very happy, so thank you for that."
"So does that mean you might just come with us again?" He had to laugh when she turned her head to give him a look but he could see that she was smiling nonetheless.
"Maybe."

"Mommy! Carl fell into the water!" Grace called her mother and desperately tried to get her stuffed zebra out of the lake.
"Don't worry, I'll get him." Addison ran towards her daughter, Derek following her, before she reached as far as she could and actually got the zebra out but dropped her phone into the water in the process. "Oh, sh—" She quickly stopped herself and fished out the phone as well.
"Derek, Carl needs CPR." Grace was probably as upset about having dropped her zebra into the lake as her mother was about her ruined cell phone.
"Alright, Carl." Derek said seriously and proceeded to perform CPR on the stuffed zebra before Grace decided that Carl was alive again.
"Thank you for saving his life!" The little girl first hugged her mother and then Derek and then the very wet Carl.
"Let me see." Derek took Addison's phone that had shut off when it had fallen into the water. "Time of death," he glanced at his watch, "eight forty am." He said with a grin on his face, making Grace giggle.
"Oh, I hate you." Addison huffed and snatched her phone back but had to laugh nevertheless.

"So, how was the big camping trip?" Miranda Bailey sat down next to Addison on the bench just outside of the hospital that Monday.
"Well, aside from a wet zebra, my daughter refusing to share a tent with me and my very broken cell phone it was really good." She smiled at her friend. "Derek called time of death. On the phone, I mean."
"And you probably hated him for doing that." Miranda chuckled.
"I did, even told him that and was lectured by my six-year-old because saying something like that really isn't nice and of course, it really was kind of funny. So, how are you and Tucker? Does he force you to go camping too?"
"Oh, no." Miranda had to laugh at the thought of her and her husband camping. "Can you imagine me camping? No, don't answer that because I can't even imagine you camping. But we're good, very good actually."
"Then why are you sitting out here with me?" Addison raised her eyebrows because she knew that Miranda usually hurried home after work to see her husband.
"The in laws are back in town, so I'm in no rush. And you're probably waiting for Shepherd?"
"I am." She nodded with a smile on her face. "Gee, they seem to be in town a lot."
"Yep, it's his birthday tomorrow and the perfect opportunity for his mother to tell me I work too much and that we really should start a family soon…"
"Oh, you should!" This excitement earned Addison a look. "Come on, kids are amazing and you'd make a great mom."
"Up until that last part you sounded just like my mother in law." Both women had to laugh before Derek came up behind them.
"Dr. Bailey." He greeted formally because, even after years, they still weren't exactly on a first name basis. "Ready to go?" He smiled at his girlfriend, who nodded her head and got up.
"I was just telling Miranda that I agree with her mother in law and that her and Tucker should have kinds."
"Wait, you're married?" Derek just stared at the woman everyone called the Nazi (for a reason).
"You didn't even know that?" Addison gave him a look and nudged him. "Geez, pay attention to your coworkers."
"She's the Nazi! It's normal for people to assume that she's single!" He tried to defend himself but his girlfriend only rolled her eyes at him before turning back to Miranda.
"Have fun tomorrow and try to ignore your mother in law." She smiled.
"Thank you. Goodnight." Mirada smiled as well and waved goodbye.
"So tell me how you and her get along so very well?!" Derek whispered and wrapped his arm around Addison's shoulders as they walked towards the parking lot.
Like I said, fluffy and kinda flat BUT it'll get better soon, I believe, just let me get this test over with!
