-1AN: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. In this chapter, Mandy will make her decision. You'll see Addison in a way I haven't portrayed yet. Molly and Mandy will chat and we'll just have to see what happens.

"No, dad, you can't abandon mom with nothing! I'm not coming! You go stay with Molly, but I heard she likes blueberry pancakes, not banana chocolate chip!" Mandy yelled running into her mom's arms. Addison wrapped her arms around Mandy and Mandy buried her heard into Addison's shoulder. They both cried and heard the door slam. One suitcase on the floor. He'd left.

"Mer, did you ever stop loving Derek?" Christina asked barging into Meredith's room.

"Christina, it's more complicated than that." Meredith sighed into her pillow. Christina flopped down next to her.

"Meredith, un-complicate it." Christina snapped.

"Yes, maybe, no… I can't just forget him Christina, he's like my soul mate. I love Mark, but in a different way than I love Derek. Like the way I loved Finn, only stronger and more intense. But it's not nearly as intense and strong as my feelings for Derek." Meredith responded thoughtfully.

"Okay, Izzie or Christina?" Christina asked.

"Huh?" Meredith responded unburying her crying head from her pillow to look up at Christina.

"Well I can do Izzie supportive, or I could do Christina, in fact, I'll do both. Mer, you and Mark are happy, you have a daughter, and your totally and completely in love. Okay, Meredith, Your selfish. You have two daughters, one who wants her daddy and one who thinks the world is ending and it's her fault. It's not just Shepard, Satan, and the dirty mistress anymore, suck it up!"

Both Addison and Meredith were watching the Notebook on TV. They were eating cookie dough icecream straight out of the carton. Tissues, magazines, and bottles of nail polish we're scattered across the floor.

"He's not coming back is he mom?" Mandy asked suddenly.

"Mands, your dad's just having a hard time, he's under a lot of pressure. We'll get through babe, we'll get through." Addison said avoiding Mandy's eyes.

"Half the pictures of me are gone, half his clothes are here, and he left something behind." Mandy said pulling out Derek's wedding ring. Addison gave her a look. "Kitchen counter," Mandy said and Addison nodded.

"He'll be back for you Mandy." Addison said softly.

"But mom, what about you?" Mandy asked. Addison just shook her head and Mandy wrapped her arms around her mom. "Mom I'm going to go talk to Molly online, maybe she knows something." Mandy said kissing her mom on the cheek. Addison just stared blankly and nodded.

"Anyone needs me, I'll be in my room." Molly grumbled standing up from the table.

Molly trudged up the stairs to her room. She opened the door to the scent of lavender and vanilla. She inhaled deeply, lavender and vanilla always calmed her down. She heard a sound from her computer. She went over and shook the mouse in frustration it was like 3 in the morning. Not like she had school tomorrow, then it came into mind, Mandy. A frown crossed her face.

Mandygirl555: Hey, have u seen my dad?

MollyGrey123: Uh no, y?

Mandygirl555: He just took of this morning for Seattle, he wants to meet u.

MollyGrey123: Well he's not getting anywhere near my mom or me right now. Mark got mad and left. He's P.O. to find out that ur mom had a baby with ur dad.

Mandygirl555: He's ur dad 2

MollyGrey123: I wanted him to be, but now that Mark's gone, I have no clue what I want. My mom is crying and my sister Cassie is hysterical.

Mandygirl555: U should c my mom, it's lik she no's it's over, and it's been over, but now it's apparently officially over. She says my dad will come back for me.

MollyGrey123: Do u think r parents would be better off with different people.

Mandygirl555: That's an insensitive question Molly, but sometimes. It would make certain people happy and certain people not happy. Like my dad would be happier but my mom wouldn't be.

MollyGrey123: I think Mark is still in love with ur mom

Mandygirl555: I think my dad is still in love with ur mom

MollyGrey123: Well we can't make them happier, maybe we should just find a way to get them together.

Mandygirl555: My mom is sitting downstairs on the couch crying, scooping shovels of cookie dough ice cream into her mouth, and watching the notebook, there is no way. No, uh uh, forget it.

MollyGrey123: But what if ur mom loves Mark and my mom loves ur dad? What if they were happier?

Mandygirl555: I'm sry we even started this whole thing, Molly I'm not going to do it. If you still wanna be friends, that's fine, but I just wanna know when my dad shows up and when he leaves.

MollyGrey123: Well maybe he won't be coming back, maybe he'll be with my mom.

Mandygirl555: Mark doesn't matter to you, but my dad matters to me, and u don't even no him.

MollyGrey123: Well if he left u to come all the way across the country for me, then, well he has a reason.
