Thanks for the reviews, they are much appreciated. I had a pretty good idea where I was going in this chapter and had a crazy boring day at work, so lucky for you all, another update.

III – Part 15

Addie, Sully and Tuck entered the house. Beck came up gave Addie and Sully a kiss on the cheek and said, "Daddy is here." Then she gave Tuck a hug whispered in his ear, "We need to get out of here, Madeline is here too, and she is staying in Seattle permanently and guess who doesn't know." Her eyes widened and an amused look appeared on her face.

Tuck gave her a quick nod, grinned and said, "It seems my wife is insisting on taking me out tonight, we'll see you later." He smirked at his wife.

Beck looped her arm with Tuck's and said as they hurried toward the door, "The kids all have had their baths and have eaten dinner and the girls are both a sleep, we shouldn't be late." As they hit the door she added, "Oh, Addie your mother is here." They accelerated their retreat to the car before Addie could react.

Addie and Sully stood in stunned silence for a moment. Then she raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay." Trying to processes her sister-in-law's actions, "My mom is here, so why is your sister acting like she wanted to get out of the kill zone?"

She shook her head and shrugged, they headed to the living room to see their parents. Archer and Madeline sat in the corner of the room with the pajama clad boys surrounding them. Archer was reading a story to the boys, one of their favorites The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. Sully wrapped his arms around Addie's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. They smiled on as they stood by quietly watching the scene before them, not wanting to disturb the story telling. Archer had such a wonderful reading voice. The boys were enthralled with his storytelling abilities.

When the story was finally over the group finally noticed Sully and Addie standing there. Richie and A.J. ran up to their parents to give them both a hug. Jax hung back a beat then ran to give his aunt and uncle a hug too. Archer and Madeline rose from the seat to give them both a hug as well.

Addie hugged her mother tightly then held her at arms length, "So why didn't you tell me you were coming out for a visit?"

Her mother smiled and said, "I wanted to surprise you."

"Well you did that," Addie looked happily at her mother. Then she asked, "So how long are you staying for?"

"How about we discuss how long I'm staying after the boys are in bed?" she said smoothly with a smile.

Addie was taken aback by that answer. It was a simple question. Why on earth did she want to boys in bed before she told how long she was stay? She knitted her brows and slowly said, "Okay, we will discuss how long you are staying later." She shook her head at her mother. She had an uneasy feeling something big was up, what with the way her sister-in-law rushed out of the house. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know, she reflected with a pensive look.

Meredith, Izzie and Cristina sat in a booth at Joe's they still liked to hang out there after a long day in the hospital. Meredith didn't drink much these days. She stuck to either a glass of wine or a beer since she had her daughter. "I met Addison's new husband today," Meredith began as she took a sip of her red wine.

Izzie and Cristina looked at her with anticipation. They had both seen the man, but neither one had actually been introduced to him or talked to him. They both agreed he was pretty damn nice to look at though.

"So what was he like, besides being totally hot?" Izzie asked with a grin.

Meredith gave her a half smile and asked, "You noticed that too, huh?" She shook her head. Izzie grinned and nodded.

"Yeah no one could ever accuse Addison of not having exemplary taste in men," Izzie said with a smirk.

"So?" Cristina interrupted. She was just as curious about the hot guy.

"I only talked to him for a minute, but he seems really nice." She smiled and her eyes twinkled, "And they seem nauseatingly in love too."

"Aw," Izzie cooed. "That's so sweet it makes me happy she found someone and is happy."

Cristina cocked an eyebrow at Izzie, "Oh god, you are making me want to vomit."

"Well I can't help it, I like Addison and I'm glad things worked out for her," she smiled at her friends.

Then a wicked grin appeared on Cristina's face. "I bet it makes Mere feel less guilty too," she cackled.

Meredith punched her shoulder. "Hey!" she said with feigned insult.

The three of them continued to laugh. Meredith didn't want to admit it out loud, but Cristina was right, Addison being happy really did help her feel less guilty.

"Hey by the way," she raised an eyebrow at Cristina. "No more calling Addison Satan, you were freaking the interns out," she said with a laugh.

Cristina raised both eyebrows in surprise and slowly said, "Okay."

Addie reentered the living room and looked directly at her mother. "Okay the kids are all in bed now." She grilled her mother, "Just how long do you plan on stay?"

Madeline rose from the sofa walked over to her daughter and bit her lower lip. She quickly glanced over to Archer then said with a smile, "I'm staying."

Addie looked at her puzzled, staying? What the hell is that supposed to mean. "You're what?" she said confused.

"I'm moving to Seattle," she said with a firm nod.

Addie stood stunned, what the hell? Her mother was moving to Seattle? She finally found her voice and asked in a very aggravated tone, "Why on earth would you move to Seattle?" She could not believe this. Her mother was first and foremost a New Yorker through and through, she lived in New York her entire life, and she loved New York. Why the hell would she even consider moving to Seattle? As far as her mother was concerned Seattle was a virtual wilderness. And if she moved to Seattle she wouldn't be able to visit her grandchildren everyday. She knew how much her mother loved her visits, how could she even think about giving that up?

Madeline knew her daughter would be upset when she found out. That was the main reason she waited until the last possible moment to tell her. "Dear I know this comes as a complete shock to you, but I have needs too," Archer rose from the sofa and walked over to Madeline's side and put his arm around her waist.

Addie's eyes narrowed as she looked from her mother to her father-in-law. Oh hell she thought, are they serious? "Are you kidding me?"

Sully entered the living room as she said this and asked, "What's going on?"

"My mother is moving in with your father," she replied exasperated.

Madeline and Archer both gave them a decisive nod.

Sully stood at his wife's side with his mouth hanging open. He sure as hell didn't expect that.

Sully and Tuck both went into the hospital early that morning. They decided to let Sully do the early morning check on the Swift baby since Addie had already spent the last two days at the hospital, she would go into the hospital later that afternoon.

Addie and Beck sat on the patio, each holding their daughter enjoying the morning sunshine. The boys had already eaten and where busily playing in the sandbox. Addie narrowed her eyes at her sister-in-law, "So you knew my mother was coming out here?"

Beck nodded. "I knew she was coming out for the summer, but I had no idea she planned on making it permanent," she said still flabbergasted by the revelation.

Addie shook her head then asked, "So how long did you know about my mother and your father?"

Beck grinned and shook her head, "I didn't have a clue until yesterday." She continued to shake her head as went on, "I was just as shocked as you were when I figured out they were dating." Their eyes connected and widened then they burst out into laugher.

Derek stood in front of the nurse's station in the ER watching Sully and Tuck. They seemed to be having a good laugh about something. He narrowed his eyes as he studied the man his ex-wife had married. He walked over to the other two men and said, "Hi I'm Derek you must be Addison's new husband." They hadn't been introduced yet. He didn't even know the guy's name. He reached out to shake his hand.

Almost all the hospital staff seemed to be in range to witness the first official meeting between Derek Shepherd and Sullivan Sanders. None were sure what to expect some bet on a fight others thought they would be civil. They were soon going to find out.

Sully nodded at Derek. He looked pretty much as he expected, Addie had shown him pictures before. "Good to meet you Derek." He reached out his hand and they shook hands. "I'm Sullivan Sanders," he used an extra firm grip as he shook his hand and stared him down. They released the handshake and Sully raised an eyebrow as he noticed him opening and closing his hand.

The on lookers thought ok that went pretty well, relatively civil, but then Dr. Shepherd did the unbelievable.

"So you and Dr. Tucker are friends?" Derek asked acting innocently.

"He's my best friend," Sully said with a nod.

Derek raised his eyebrows and said with mock sincerity, "Oh you better watch out for them then. Addison has this thing, she likes to fuck her husband's best friend," Derek smirked at the other man.

They could all hear the comment he threw at the current husband of his ex-wife. They all stood stunned not believing something so crude had actually come out of his mouth.

Tuck shook his head and said, "Oh shit." He grimaced, "I don't believe you just said that." He continued to shake his head waiting for Sully's reaction, "Dude you are sooo dead."

His reaction was swift, Sully punched Derek square in the nose putting his full weight behind the punch. You could hear a crunching sound as he connected. The crowd cringed as they heard the sound and Derek dropped like a sack of potatoes, he was out cold. Which was lucky for him, because Sully would have certainly punched him again and Tuck wouldn't have tried to stop him from doing so.

It took the crowd some time to react. Since they were all so shock Derek actually was stupid enough to say something like that to Sullivan. George was the first one to react. He turned to his group of interns and said, "Go on." He said with a shrug, "See if he is still alive."

The interns ran as a group to the unconscious Dr. Shepherd. They took a backboard put him on it then lifted him to a gurney and wheeled him into curtain two.
