A/N: So let me know your thoughts on this one:)

Yea...I must admit I love hormonal Addison (KW really) I think we all saw the
humor she was capable of with the poison oak...(Memories...) Cue the violin! Just Kidding, let
me know your thoughts:)

Chapter 11

"Do you want to talk about it?" Callie stroked Addison's hair as she handed her another tissue which was promptly blown into and then added into another pile which was quickly growing with each new set of tears that came as she tried to explain the fight she had with Derek.

Addison sat up and leaned against the headboard and Callie envied her in that moment. Not because she was crying but because even crying and nose running she was still a beautiful woman and was at once loved and hated by women everywhere because of her beauty which she didn't even acknowledge as a facet of her personality and for that reason alone Callie envied her.

"Derek said that he didn't want the baby."

Callie spoke in sympathy and pulled her into his arms, "I thought Derek was heading down a good path but to say he didn't want the baby is horrible."

Addison pulled back and said, "Oh he didn't say that he didn't want the baby he just told me that he didn't want the child if my life was going to be in danger." She started crying again and as Callie pulled her into her arms again her face showed signs of confusion.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute….Are you saying that he said that he values your life above that of your child?"

Addison nodded and was about to speak when Miranda entered the room and shut the door behind her, "That son of a bitch. How dare he say that he values your life above that of the baby?"

Addison huffed and crossed her arms, "Why do you make it sound like I'm being a crazy person about this?"

Callie laughed and said, "Because you are being crazy."

Addison leaned forward and turned to Miranda, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

Miranda nodded, "Of course I think your crazy but then I was once pregnant and my husband who loves me just as I do him caught the honeymoon photo that I threw at him when he told me he wanted fried instead of roasted chicken for dinner three months into my pregnancy."

Addison exhaled sharply, "That's not the same thing at all he told me that he didn't want this baby if my life was in danger. If he loved me, he would love anything that came from me what is the deal that you guys can't understand that I'm hurt about this?"

Callie took her new friend's hand in her own, "The deal from what I gathered about Derek Shepherd is that, for many years of your marriage he was an ass. He was a self-involved ass and when he was so close to losing you he pulled himself together and learned about the true meaning of love and sacrifice from you. He learned that just the idea of being without you was enough to scare him into not wanting any children if it puts your life in danger."

Addison crossed her arms under her chest and pouted, "When you say it like that, it makes the fight sound petty."

Miranda snorted and she slapped Addison on the thigh, "What you are going to do is to eat ice-cream, watch a good feel good movie and then cry a bunch….After your done you'll call Derek and apologize."

Addison nodded as she reached for another tissue as the sniffles hit her; she blew her nose then looked at her two girlfriends, "Shouldn't I call him before we start having our little slumber party?"

Callie rolled her eyes as she looked at Miranda, "No."

Addison looked at them in shock and Callie giggled, "We have so much to teach you still about learning how to train men…He must be made to wait besides you're the one who is pregnant and will be for nine months now. This is only the beginning."

Miranda nodded in agreement, "Nine months of kicking him out, taking him back and making him pay for even thinking about touching you."

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Joe looked at the dejected man who just came into the room and sighed in exasperation.

"Dr. Shepherd, what can I do you for?"

Derek started laughing and rolled his eyes, "Scotch on the rocks…" Joe nodded and turned around to make the drink when Derek called him back, "Make it a double."

Joe nodded and turned to make the drink and as he turned around the door opened and Joe groaned. In walked trouble, he set the drink down in front of Derek and signaled behind his head. "Meredith just walked in; she's sitting over there with the other interns if you're interested."

Derek shook his head in negation, "Joe so tell me, why women are so complicated? I mean why do they make things so complicated?"

Richard came up besides him, "Tonic and lemon."

Derek looked at him in disbelief, "What are you doing here?"

Richard smiled, "I wanted to hear the latest about Addison and Miranda's husband told me that you had left the house and were headed home and I took that to mean that you were headed to get plastered and even though I'm an alcoholic and shouldn't be in one of these places, I braved the fear to learn about how my Addi is doing."

Derek rolled his eyes and said, "I don't understand how you can be pregnant and still have the power to cut somebody down so harshly." He emptied his drink in a swallow and reached into his pocket and pulled out the chain he had guarded in his pocket.

He handed the chain to Richard, "She threw this at me when she asked for the divorce."

Richard drained his tonic water and looked at him in shock, "Addison asked you for a divorce, what did you do sleep with Meredith again?"

Derek looked at him crossly, "Was that your idea of a joke?"

Richard nodded and grinned at him, "A very good joke if I do say so myself. No, what really happened, you look like death warmed over. I must say though I'm pretty pleased, Meredith is over there playing pool with her friends and you didn't even glance back once, I guess you are really serious about putting your marriage back together."

Derek nodded, "Of course, I'm serious about putting my marriage back together but I have to admit this whole pregnancy and hormones thing has me going through a loop. I married a sane, gorgeous and intelligent woman. I'm now married to a moody, weepy and sometimes mean woman and it throws me. I may never give her another child."

Richard laughed, "You ever try telling Addison no to anything she wanted?"

Derek closed his eyes as he leaned against the counter. He lifted his head, "I'm dead."

He dropped his head back on the counter as Richard patted him on the back and said, "Yes man, you are but it'll be okay. Come on, I'll take you home."

Hours Later

Addison had insomnia. Her husband was away from her and she had done the stupidest thing of her life. She had given him the ultimatum so cruelly and now she was stuck with the consequences. In the morning she may have to find herself a divorce lawyer if Derek couldn't find it in his heart to forgive her. Even though, Miranda and Callie swore that it would never come back to this and that Derek and her would be fine. She just wished she could trust the conversation as much as they swore it.

Flashback

The laughter of all three women was infectious as they rolled around the floor throwing pillows at each other and popcorn kernels as they watched a good cry movie. Steel Magnolias, Miranda swore it would always be a good tearjerker and even if they needed a laugh they could get one. The next movie she had lined up was Beaches and Addison shook her head and begged for a release, too much drama and emotional turmoil had her depressed, she wanted to watch something funny. So Miranda had snuck out of the room and then took about ten minutes to come back. When she shuffled back in the room, she was handling about three movies and was juggling a pint of ice-cream and three spoons.

She placed the ice-cream down and turned to Callie and Addison, "I'm sorry I took so long coming here, when I went to the living room my men were sleeping so peacefully, the little one on the big one that I couldn't help but snuggle with them a little bit."

Addison and Callie ooh and aahed in agreement as they helped her situate herself with the goodies she had brought.

Addison looked at her in concern and said, "I need to call Derek and apologize, don't you think that's right?"

Callie took the spoon and dipped into the white chocolate raspberry Haagen Daas ice-cream and devoured a spoonful in ecstasy. "Miranda's right, Addison you're in for a long haul and you need all the strength you can get right now. Take a couple of hours and then call him back."

Addison shrugged, "But I was really mean to him and he might just give up on me and go back to…"

Callie cut off the dialogue, "Wait a minute, is this about you worrying that Derek wants to keep you healthy over the baby or are you worried that every fight you have will end up with him running back to Meredith's arms?"

Miranda nodded, "I'm interested to hear the answer to this question as well."

Addison leaned forward with her spoon and took a spoonful out and around a mouth full of ice-cream spoke, "Can you blame me for being worried? I've been on the back burner of his life for almost a year now and I don't know if he's still in love with me completely or is just looking for the way for a way out at our first fight. I just don't want to keep my hopes tied up into this guy."

Miranda shrugged, "You just have to trust him that is if you can."

Callie nodded, "What good is it if you called off the divorce if you can't remove the image of Meredith with Derek out of your mind or you can't trust him. He has certainly given you reasons to distrust him but if your still married that has to mean something."

Miranda snorted and said, "It means that she's stupid and still in love. Derek won't cheat on her for awhile now, she's got a good couple of years left out of him before he turns to his old ways."

Addison gasped in horror, "That's not fair, Derek is really trying hard. I've never seen him so attentive, even when we were married in the beginning he never acted like he cared so much. He's really trying and when he came over after my episode, I thought he would start to cry and I…."

Miranda laughed and clapped her hands together, "I knew it you still love the old dog. Stop whining about Meredith then if you still are so in love with him that you are defending him tooth and nail just remember that, when you want to have a fight about Meredith remember that you just defended him to me."

Callie nodded and said, "I agree you're still loco for the doctor McPanty."

Addison snorted with laughter as she was trying to drink her juice, "McPanty?"

Callie nodded, "After everything I've seen him do, McPanty is all he's getting from me."

End of Flashback

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

"Why the hell did you piss off your wife?"

A drunk, upset Mark stumbled into Derek's trailer. Derek leaned against the door and smirked, "What the hell are you doing here Mark? I thought you went back to the hotel."

He started to close the door in his face when Mark muscled his way in and plopped down at the table, "I asked you a question and I think I deserve an answer, why the hell did you pick now to piss off Addison? I was doing so well coming to Seattle, I was going to win her back but then those plans blew up in my face when she announced to me she was still in love with you. I then meet a girl but then those plans blow up in my face when she became girlfriends with the woman I lost my best friend for. And if that wasn't enough to make you mad, then you go and piss off your wife and ruin my evening. I was supposed to be in bed with Callie now after a nice dinner were we got drunk and stumbled into my bedroom at the hotel. I was supposed to be asleep on her chest now and I'm not and all of this is your fault." He ended his dialogue on a whine as he looked at Derek.

Derek couldn't help it he started to laugh; the truth was hearing this side of Mark made him remember all the times that had gotten plastered in college together. "I think it's about time you go home Mark. As much as I would love to sit here and talk about women with you, I don't like you Mark and if that's wasn't enough I have a busy day tomorrow."

Mark laid his head down on the table and groaned, "Why did you have to piss off Addison, just when I was getting used to sleeping next to Callie you grow and screw that up for me as well? Am I doomed to have my sex life ruined by my ex-best friend my whole life? God, I know I did wrong in this life but it's not fair to pay by taking away my chance to get laid again."

Derek rolled his eyes, "Mark, leave now. I don't like you, I don't want you in my house and actually the thought of the sight of you is enough to make me want to hit you."

Mark leaned his head up and squinted at him through slanted eyes, "Callie and Addison are friends."

Derek folded his arms as he looked at Mark in confusion, "What does that have to do with anything?"

Mark stood up and started pacing, "If Callie and Addison can be friends why can't we? I mean, I slept with both of them and they still talk to each other."

Derek decided he was tired of this game but decided to pull one prank, "Okay let's say your right, does that mean I can sleep with Callie so were all even?"

The next thing Derek knew Mark had grabbed him by the shirt collar and had him in a chokehold, "Go within five feet of her, and I'll beat you. She belongs to me. Got that?"

Having stated his fact he walked out of the trailer and slammed the door behind him. Derek rubbed his neck, shook his head and laughed as he walked back to bed.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Addison sat staring at the cell phone trying to decide what her next move would be. As she stared down at her empty ring finger she ran her hand over where the discoloration was from the sun. She missed her rings, she missed her husband, she missed her dog even though he was gone, and hell she even missed her trailer. She couldn't stand it another moment. She padded out of bed, mindful of Callie who was sleeping peacefully on the floor. She stepped over Callie and walked out of the room.

End, I wanted Drunk!Mark for a moment, so I hope it wasn't completely OOC but after everything I've seen since
Season 3 started I don't think Mark can be anymore OOC then what they've written on the show!

Thoughts Please:)
