-1AN: Long time, no update! Well I doubted myself and this story for awhile but like many people, after seeing the Grey's season ender, I needed to start writing FF non stop. I have chapters of this and some other stories that will be up sooner or later. Well anyways, read and review!
Seattle, Washington
Mark walked up to the bar, and gave a hand motion to Joe. Joe finished up a conversation with another customer and walked over.
"The usual?" Joe asked. Without waiting for answer he poured the drink and slid it towards Mark. Joe looked Mark over, he hadn't been in Joe's since Meredith's 40th birthday, which was a little over two years ago. He still looked young, maybe he'd gotten himself a plastic surgeon. But his eyes were red and puffy from crying, and his clothes were unkempt and wrinkled. Almost nobody was in the bar at two in the morning.
"I'm getting married to Meredith, but I still have feelings for Addison, it's been fourteen damn years and I haven't moved past it! Today I find out Addison has a daughter, Meredith isn't wearing her ring, and she just breaks it off." Mark cut himself off to slam the drink back in gulp, motioning for more.
Joe poured him more and began to speak, "Well, I'm not going to even try to explain Meredith's reasoning's, but you let her break it off pretty easily too,"
Mark sighed and slammed the drink back. "I'm going on vacation, if Mer asks I'm just visiting my family in New York."
"Don't you mean Derek's family?" Joe asked "They still let you come around?"
"Family is family." Mark said not even realizing how much those words applied to him as he headed off to the airport.

"I can't take a sick day, Mark was the only one off today, please Hannah, it's only for a couple of hours, yeah I know I'm lying, But everyone would love to see you, I understand, sure bring him, we can all watch a movie tonight when we get home, no Alex won't chase him off, I'm sure Alex and Izzie can handle that, You're old enough to have a boy in your old room, yes, thank you so much, I'll pay you double, buh bye." Meredith sighed and ran her hand through her hair.
"So can she do it?" Callie asked wandering into the kitchen with Callista right on her tail.
"Yeah, Hannah's going to drive over, she's even bringing a guy for us to meet, more like a gathering than a last resort babysitter because my fiancé totally skipped town. Yeah, everything will be fine and Cassie will stop crying, but I don't know how to get her too, I refuse to become my mother, God stop pressuring me for information, I'm fine Callie, I'm going to work." Meredith cried storming out the door, with a slam on the way out.
Callista started to cry and Callie just stared at the door Meredith had slammed. What rollercoaster drug was Meredith on? One minute she want to marry Mark, the next she broke it off, the next she was turning into her mother. Callie could understand the feeling of turning into her mother, a little. But none of it made sense. It was like an unsolved mystery.
Manhattan, New York
"Thanks for letting us stay Mom," Addison said hugging Derek's mom, Anna. Anna was completely shocked and confused by her sons behavior. She saw Mandy was the one trying to stay strong for her mom.
"It's my pleasure dear," Anna said turning to glance at Mandy once more. Her hair was frizzy, and she seemed tired, yet restless at the same time.
Mandy felt her grandma's eye's boring into her, she was already used to people giving her looks of pity. But she just needed to be alone, she marched up the stairs to Nancy's childhood room.
"But I should warn you, Nancy, Rachel, Kathy, and Leah are already here, husbands and children." Anna said trying to not too stare at her granddaughters retreating form.
"What why?" Addison said before realizing it was late May, the long 5 day off stretch, for surgeons and students a like. "Wait, why weren't we invited to the annual family get together?" Addison said confusing herself with the new jumble of information.
"Well you were invited, Derek said you three couldn't make it this year, which I thought was odd, you live right on the other side of town. But I guess he never asked you, I'm so sorry Addie," Anna said pulling Addison into a hug. Addison just then noticed the tears on her face.
"Well it's good we're here, Mandy, she could use being around her older cousins, and her younger one's, family." Addison said confidently through her tears. Although she hadn't let go of Anna's embrace.

Mark walked through the airport terminal, and his near brother's face caught his eye. He didn't know how he'd managed to spot his face through the crowd, but he saw Derek sitting on a bench with a suitcase, he looked like he'd been there all night.
"Mark," Derek said as Mark approached him. Mark's first response was to jump back, his engagement to Meredith was announced in Medical weekly. But Mark noticed Derek's voice was just worn out and tired. Mark took a seat next to him. He noticed the picture of Molly he was looking at.
"You're engaged to Meredith, and you know my daughter, and I just walked out on my wife and my other daughter." Derek said slowly.
"Meredith and I broke it off, I realized I was in love with your wife, and I just walked out on your daughter and my daughter." Mark said.
"We should probably start fighting now." Derek said
"Yeah, what do we fight about first?" Mark said turning to Derek.
"I said probably, I don't feel like beating the shit out of you right now." Derek said.
"I'm here to see the family, annual thing remember?" Mark asked.
"I wanted to leave for Seattle, but I can't do it, I love Meredith too much, she deserves to be happy with you." Derek said.
"I love her too, not the same way as I love Addison, but I love her. She deserves to happy with you, and Addison doesn't-" Mark said but was cut off by Derek "Deserve to be alone, with a daughter." Derek and Mark sighed.
"Let's go to Mom's, I'll tell you about Molly." Mark said offering a hand.
Derek smiled as they took off down the airport terminal, they had a lot of fighting to make up for, but he just needed his family, which in the long run, included Mark.
Seattle, Washington
"Cassie, Molly, are your bags packed?" Meredith yelled and received to positive replies. "Well it's a long flight to New York, so bring your PSP's, and don't forget to pack the gifts for grandma!"
