Chapter 8 :
They entered they house slowly, both looking at the surroundings. Derek noted that everything was pretty much the same, except it was a little messy. The clothes he had thrown out the door that night were still by the door.
"You didn't wash the clothes?" Derek asked her softly.
Addison hesitated before answering. "I um…didn't have time to do it."
"I was gone 2 months."
Addison nodded. "I know."
"Nothing changed here."
Addison nodded again. "I know."
Derek walked around quietly. He didn't like the house anymore. The bad memory he had in the house was making all the good ones invisible. He went upstairs and Addison followed him. He saw the room of their old bedroom closed and decided to open it; he didn't know why he wanted to open it so badly.
Derek took a look around. "Where did you sleep while I was gone?"
"In the guest room…and um sometimes at…well you know." Addison replied hesitantly.
"Oh" He sighed. "Look maybe coming here was a bad idea."
"It was." Addison agreed. "I'll just take a few things and then we'll leave okay."
Derek nodded absently. "I'll uh, wait for you in the car." Derek left the room and ran downstairs. He couldn't stand the house or everything that was it in. All he wanted was a new house to hold their new memories.
A few minutes later, Addison came down and left the house with two bags. She got into the car and Derek started driving silently.
"Maybe we could stop somewhere or take a walk in Central Park? I'd like to talk to you about something."
"Sure." He replied.
Once they were out of the car, they started walking down the path in silence. It wasn't too cold outside and it wasn't snowing either.
"So hum…I think it might do us some good if I moved out of the trailer." Addison told him after a while.
Derek looked at her shocked. "You mean…only you or both of us?"
"I meant me."
"What? Why? I thought we were making progress! We've been great in the past few months."
Addison shook her head. "No…I saw your face when we were in the house, I saw how much you hated it and when you went upstairs it was evident that you were remembering that night. In the past few months, all we did was to try to forget what happened, but in reality we'll never forget about it, or about our past. In five short months we're having a baby Derek, and we need to be ready emotionally. We've been living in a fairytale Derek…it's all fake. We need to face our issues and rebuilt our marriage." A few tears rolled down her cheeks. It was a really hard topic to discuss. "We've been living a lie and it's time to move on. It's time to take things seriously…we need to overcome our issues."
Derek nodded. "I guess you're right…but will we still see each other?"
"Yeah! We'll still spend nights or days off talking…I just think that a little break should be good on us."
"Where would you stay?"
"Maybe at the same hotel as Callie…it's a great place."
Derek rolled his eyes and sighed. "I'm sure it is."
"I know that you're not happy with the idea but it just might turn great Derek." She assured him, taking hold of his hand.
"But I won't get to see you everyday, I won't get to help you with the pregnancy…I won't get to see the baby all the time or to feel it kick."
"You will, you will get to do all these things. I'm not pushing you away at all."
"Okay…if you think it's for the best then it's fine."

A few days later, they were back to Seattle and Addison was packing her things to move to the hotel.
"Are you sure you want to go live there? You could stay here still." Derek told her, giving her clothes that were on the bed.
"It's for the best, I swear."
"But what if something happens?"
"Nothing will happen, plus Callie's room is just in front of mine if I need something."
"Still…" He couldn't help but be worried.
"I'm a big girl Derek, I'll be just fine." She sat down next to him on the bed and kissed him. "We'll still built our dream house here, we just have to solve a few issues and then I swear that everything will be better okay?"
Derek nodded.
"I don't want you to be mad at this." She sighed. "We'll still each other and have lunch everyday, and we'll have dinner dates and cuddle in front of the fireplace to talk…and my hotel room has a very big bath!"
Derek smiled. "It does huh?"
"Yes it does…I love you Derek, don't forget that."
"I love you too Addie."

That night, after everything was set up in her room, Addison decided to check some things on her laptop. She decided to log it to see if anyone was online. A small window popped up, she looked at it: Derek.
Derek Shepherd says: I miss you already Addie.
Addison Shepherd says: I miss you too...How's living alone?
Derek Shepherd says: Hum well…boring? What about you?
Addison Shepherd says: Well I do have a TV to myself so I don't have to watch your boring sport shows! )
Derek Shepherd says: YOUR girly shows are bad! They're even more complicated then women!
Addison Shepherd says: No ( I'm tired now
Derek Shepherd says: Go to bed then! I don't want you to be tired.
Addison Shepherd says: Aw, you're cute. Anyway, want to see the baby before I leave?
Addison clicked on the webcam button and Derek accepted the invitation to start it. She rolled her shirt up and placed the webcam in front of her now quite big baby bump.
Derek Shepherd says: Wow, it's getting bigger by the day. Is he or she kicking?
Addison Shepherd says: No…he or she is sleeping…but talking about the baby I need to talk to you about some thing.
Derek Shepherd says: Yeah?
Addison Shepherd says: Tomorrow's my 5th month is starting and I have the appointment scheduled for the ultrasound…do you want to come?
Derek Shepherd says: OF COURSE! Can we find out about the sex then?
Addison Shepherd says: Yep…the appointment's at 11am okay? So anyway, I'm going to bed now )
Derek Shepherd says: Okay…I love you both and goodnight!
Addison Shepherd says: Love you too xx!
She logged out and put her laptop on the nightstand before closing the lights.
