Hey all here is the chapter I promised all of you.

Meredith walked into work on Monday morning with her coffee in hand. Derek had the morning off and he was planning on getting his tuxedo fit with Burke. Meredith never thought she would obsess over her own wedding one day, but she found herself nervous that the tuxedo Derek would pick would be awful.

She walked into the locker room, and George noticed right away, "Why so nervous?"

"Derek and Burke are picking out their tuxedos today. I just hope they aren't hideous."

"My boyfriend and your fiancé are shopping together? All of this wedding hype is going to make me McVomit." Christina said as she closed her locker.

"Oh, Christina. You're just shocked by all of the happiness in the air." George said as he pulled his scrub top over his white men's tank.

Bailey walked in before Christina could even respond. "Alright, Grey you are with Dr. Montgomery. Karev you are with me. Yang you are in with Dr. Torres. O'Mally that leaves you with the pit."

When Meredith walked up to Dr. Montgomery she was greeted with a smile.

"Hey Dr. Grey. How are you?" Addison said.

"I'm great and yourself?" Meredith said, knowing whole heartedly that Addison was a nice person.

"I'm great. I want to congratulate you on your engagement, you two deserve to be happy together. You really do." Addison smiled and handed Meredith a card. "Open it. Its nothing big but I thought of you two as soon as I saw it."

Meredith opened the card. It was a beautiful congratulations card that was signed, "I wish you two the best. I only wish the best for my friends. Love, Addison." Meredith closed the card.

"Thank you Addison." Addison returned the thank you by hugging Meredith.

"I know it might be soon, but if you ever need anything or a friend. I'm here." Addison said. She was sincere and she wanted to stay friends. She knew Meredith was a great person and so was Derek. Just because they were about to start a new life together she wanted to stay close. She knew that she was over Derek and Derek was over her. But they had all promised to be friends.

"Thank you." Meredith said, realizing that Addison could end up being one of her best friends.

"Anytime. So I have a labor and delivery today. Cecelia Adler, she is at 39 weeks. But I have a C-Section for twins coming up and Adler is six centimeters dilated. So I may have you running back and forth. If I'm in the C-section you might have to deliver. Have you delivered before?" Addison said as she compared the charts.

"Yes, a few times. My first one was with you actually. I have done one by myself too, back in November." Meredith said confidently.

"Well then that is very good news for our patient." Addison said as they shared a laugh. "Meredith?"

"Yes?"

"Call me Addie or Addison when we are away from patients, Bailey or Chief." Addison said as she handed a file off to a nurse.

"Sure thing and same for you. Call me Meredith." She said as she got ready to turn the corner.

Meredith and Addison went to check on their two patients.

Callie began walking through the ER. Olivia came to her while she was sitting down a chart.

"Dr. Torres, you have a call on line 1 from Mount Roosevelt hospital." Olivia said on her way to the dock.

"Thank you." Callie was expecting this call for quite some time. Callie went to the Nurse's station. She picked up the phone.

"Hello, this is Dr. Callie Torres." She said in a tone as she cleared her throat.

"Dr. Torres, this is Dr. Summers from Mount Roosevelt in Maryland. I am calling to tell you that we are interested in having you come work for us. We will fax you over our offer and a contract. If you are interested, then we would like you out her by next month." The man on the other end said.

Callie almost jumped for joy in the middle of the Emergency room. "Oh wow, no I want to take it. I'm all yours. I'll be there. But I was wondering. I have a third year intern who shows great promise, is there anyway you could have him transferred there?" Callie new that the man on the other end understood that George was Callie's boyfriend.

After a few more minutes, Callie hung up the phone. She needed to tell George.

Meredith walked out of the delivery room. This was a high unlike any other in the medical field. She helped bring life into the world and it made her realize how she was more than ready to have a child. She briefly pondered the idea of breaking the no-sex deal. For a brief moment, Meredith wanted to start trying for a child before the wedding. That idea quickly went out the window when she remembered that she had a dress to fit into. She also realized that this was her only time alone with Derek. Once they started their family, they would have to fight for any alone time they could get.

"So, Meredith. How was it?" Addison said as she took her scrub cap off.

"Their little girl is healthy and beautiful. I feel a little sorry for her when she has to go to school and they tease her about the name." Meredith responded.

"Oh No. What did they pick?" Addison asked fearing for the answer

"Suga Icea" Meredith responded avoiding laughter.

"Ouch. Poor thing." Addison said while wrinkling her nose. "You want to grab a coffee together? I don't have a case right now. Therefore you do not have a case."

"Sure." Meredith and Addison headed down to the coffee cart and bought their coffees. They then headed to a table for two surrounded by greenery in the cafeteria.

"So, how have you been?" Meredith asked Addison as she stirred her coffee.

"I've been good. Enjoying the single life, I mean I never realized that it would be good for me. You know?" Addison said, worried that she might have made Meredith uncomfortable.

"That's good. Have you talked to Mark?" Meredith said.

"No, that the great Lord that I haven't. I'm glad to be dating, but I can't be with Mark." Addison said. "You know, I never thought I would be talking so closely to my ex-husbands new fiancé." Both of the women giggled.

"Me either." Meredith giggled back.

Addison and Meredith finished lunch; they went on to do another c-section.

Later on that day, while George was in the on-call room when Callie walked in.

"George we need to talk." Callie said as George folded up his scrubs.

"Okay, what do we need to talk about?" George said as Callie sat next to him.

"I got a job offer at Mount Roosevelt in Maryland. They want me to come as soon as possible. But I told them I had the most amazing boyfriend. Then they said they would transfer you there too. So would you come? They are willing to continue your internship." Callie said concerned.

"Wow." George new this was a great offer. He loved Callie and wanted to be with her. "I need to think about it. Its so sudden and I don't want to jump to quickly and make a choice."

"Right. Okay, that's fine. Just let me know." Callie said as she left the room.

Addison and Meredith were scrubbing out of a hysterectomy, when Addison's pager began to go off.

"Dr. Montgomer….Addison, would you like me to check on Mrs. Mirtaugh, while you take that page?" Meredith offered.

"No, its Mark. He keeps paging me. I believe he is town and I don't want to see him. He just does not take no for an answer." Addison said while looking at her loud beeper.

"Let me take care of this." Meredith said as she grabbed the pager from Addison's hands. She walked over to one of the phones in the hall, while Addison followed.

"Dr. Sloane, this is Dr. Grey from Seattle Grace. Dr. Montgomery would appreciate it if you would not page her at work unless it has to do with a surgery or something else medical….Oh I see. Well, that certainly is not medical or surgical." Addison tried to hide laughter as Meredith was doing her a big favor. "Dr. Sloane, I am under direct orders from staff, to no longer answer pages from personal numbers." Meredith hung up the phone

"That was hilarious, I can't believe that" Addison could no longer refrain from the laughter.

"Well, I just know that it must be rather frustrating. But it was a lot of fun, so if you ever need me to get rid of a guy. Call me." Meredith said.

"Oh, I will Meredith." Addison replied.

Later that night, Meredith went to Derek's trailer. She found Derek sitting on the front porch sipping on a beer.

"Hey you." Derek said as he cleared a spot on the stairs for his number one girl.

"Hey." Meredith said while kissing him on the lips. "How was tux shopping?"

"Oh great, what do you think of green and mauve for the vest?" Derek said with a serious face.

"Derek Shepard, do not even joke like that. I swear if you.." Meredith said as Derek began to laugh. When she was sure that he was kidding she gently hit his arm.

"I had you going there. It went fine and everything is taken care of." He said as Meredith finally sat by him. "How was your day?"

"Good. Exhausting, but really good. I never worked with Addison on all of cases. I even got to deliver a little girl." Meredith said.

"So, My fiancé and my ex-wife like working together. You guys really are becoming friends?" Derek asked.

"Yea, actually we are. I mean, once you guys realized where you stood. It cleared a lot of things up. I like working with her." Meredith said as she put her head on Derek's shoulder.

"So you delivered a little girl?" Derek said. "How was that?"

"Yes, I did. It certainly was a miracle and I can't wait to be the mother." Meredith said, hoping that she was not too cheesy.

"I've always wanted to have a little girl. I mean, I want to have boys too, but I really can't wait to have a little girl." Derek said. "Meredith, I can't wait until we have children."

"Me either. You know, I don't want to wait long into our marriage to start. Is that ok?" Meredith asked.

"I say, we start trying about five or six months into the marriage. That gives us a while to be newlyweds." Derek responded. "Hey, we can practice "trying" tonight." Derek said with a devilish grin.

"Haha, well I like your time frame of trying, but we don't need to practice." Meredith said, shooting down Derek's plea to have sex.

"I tried. So, have you and Izzie been working on the seating arrangement?" Derek asked.

"Yes and I was able to get your family around one table. It was hard, but I did it." Derek was sad that Meredith did not have to worry about getting family around a table. She had an Uncle Sal and Aunt Bernadette that would be there, but that was pretty much it.

"Well, that is good. Hey, I don't want to stress you out about anything, but do you know who you are going to have walk you down the aisle?" Derek asked.

"Nobody, I don't have a father. I do, but he doesn't know me from a whole in the wall. So, I don't need anyone to." Meredith said while trying to be strong.

"Meredith, you should have someone. What about George, Alex or Dr. Webber? They all…"

"Derek stop!" Meredith said fighting back tears. "I don't need anyone. I just don't. The chief and his wife will be there, but it would just be weird. I just don't want…or need anyone."

"I'm sorry babe. I just thought we could talk, but its ok." Derek said reaching for Meredith's hand.

"I'm sorry too. I'm just stressed out and I'm tired. So lets just go to bed." Meredith and Derek walked inside and went to bed.

A few days later, Meredith received an invitation on her locker.

You are cordially invited to the bachelorette party of Meredith Grey

Meredith laughed at the note on the bottom. She was excited by the invitation. She was excited when Izzie showed her the guest list. But she asked that Addison's invite be hand delivered.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That day, Izzie marched up to the condo of Addison. When the doorbell rang, Addison answered.

"Izzie, how are you?" Addison asked as she put her hair up in a ponytail.

"I'm good. I actually wanted to give you the invitation to Meredith's party. I know it might be a little weird, but you two seem to be great friends." Izzie handed her the invite.

"Thank you so much. I would love to come. Meredith and I have been getting along great, as you know. I'm just so happy for her.
