Chapter 11

Oh my god I just realised that I'm already on chapter 11 and I haven't even got to the main part of the story so I just wanted to say thanks to all my faithful readers/reviewers and please bare with me it will get more interesting

Addison sighed as she sat down on the chair across from Meredith's bed. She'd finally managed to convince Derek to go and take a shower after she'd found him asleep on the chair.

She had to admit that she felt better after she'd talked to Carol like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. She sighed again and went back to the mountain of paper work she had to finish.

"Addison?" Meredith said softly from the bed

At the sound of her voice Addison jumped and went over to the side of the bed "Meredith you're awake"

"What happened?"

"You had a fever temp. Spiked to 103"

"Oh are the babies okay"

"They're fine we did an ultrasound all the heartbeats are strong"

"Good" she breathed it was only then that she noticed Derek wasn't there

"Where's Derek" she asked

"Oh I sent him to go and get something to eat and take a shower he'd been here all night. I can have a nurse page him…"

"No don't" she cut her off "give him some time" she said softly

"I actually wanted to talk to you"

"About what?" Addison asked confused

"I owe you an apology." She said quietly

Addison sighed knowing what was coming "Meredith you don't have to apologise to me , Derek and I we hadn't been happy for a long time I mean we were happy, content but we weren't happy not like he's happy with you"

"I still feel guilty" she mumbled

Addison reached for her hand "Yeah the guilt'll work it's self out eventually or at least that's what I keep telling myself "she smiled wryly

"Meredith" Derek breathed from the doorway making them both jump

"Hey" she whispered as he walked over to the bed and kissed her.

"I'm uh gonna go" Addison said softly "Thank you Addison" Meredith said as she left the room "You're welcome" she replied flashing her a small smile.

Meredith was discharged a couple of hours later so they decided to go to the trailer as they still had a couple of days off .

"Did your mom get away okay " Meredith asked as she lay curled up in his arms that night

"Yeah Addison took her to the airport"

"That's good."

"Hmmm. Oh she asked if we uh wanted to go to New York for a weekend"

At that Meredith sat up right in bed "New York. Like New York where all your sisters live with their millions of kids New York" she all but yelled

"Mer calm down she just said I should ask you what you thought about it and if you're not ready then we can wait a while " he said gently caressing her cheek

"Okay" she breathed her head falling back onto the pillow

"I love you" he whispered in her ear

"I love you too" she replied before sleep finally overtook her.

A/N I've always loved Addison so I felt she should be an important character in this fic. Review s'il vous plait
