.com/watch?v=KCxwdhj8Hu4&feature=related How cute is this scene! Derek and Meredith didn't actually sleep together; Meredith stopped him just in time. But Addison found her underwear so she thinks they did. This chapters a little different but I'm happy with the outcome, enjoy!

Addison awoke to the sunlight peaking through the curtains. She lay happily in the giant bed, feeling relaxed and well rested. She affectionately rubbed her rounding stomach, relieved to be free of stress this morning so her baby could spend time growing arms and legs rather than dealing with its mother's insane stress levels. This was one of those peaceful moments she wished would last forever. Like when her and Derek had first met and she was just so intrigued by this handsome stranger. Or on her wedding day – the supposed happiest day of a person's life, when she felt so blessed to become Mrs Addison Shepard. Unfortunately she knew the world was still out there but for the next few days at least she could pretend it wasn't as she had called Richard the night before and asked for time off. She had packed a bag, checked into Seattle's most expensive hotel, using her husband's credit card no less, requesting their most expensive suite. She had turned her phones off and planned to do - well whatever she damn well pleased.

Slipping out of bed she went into the bathroom and entered the warm shower. She took a long time in there, the shower in the trailer was a shoebox, but she hoped this shower would wash away all her sins and all her pain. A while later, she exited the shower and looked into the large mirrors. She inspected her body in more detail now and was happy with the results of being 9 weeks pregnant. She was certainly more curvaceous; which she couldn't complain about, she was hot!

Getting dressed she chose a figure hugging dress in order to milk this before she had to start buying clothes with elasticised waistbands! She chose a pair of sky-high Jimmy Choos to wear that complimented her outfit perfectly.

Exiting the elevator 15 minutes later she smirked to herself as heads turned to watch her. This was something she had been used to throughout her life, not oblivious to the fact she was tall and good-looking. She headed towards the restraint where she experienced more men drooling at her and women looking on enviously. She was seated at a nice table and began studying the menu, now ravenous. She could really go a Twinkie, damn Meredith for getting her addicted. A tall figure approached her and cast a shadow over the table; she assumed it was the waiter.

" I knew you couldn't resist me." Addison laughed and looked up into the familiar eyes of Mark Sloan.

" What no sarky comeback? Someone's in a good mood." She went back to studying her menu, smiling.

" Still with a body like that who could complain?" He continued, eyeing her from head to toe and she looked up to see him do this – he was clearly satisfied by what he saw.

" Why aren't you at the hospital?" She enquired.

" Took a personal day." She laughed; he probably had a woman lined up.

" What about you?"

" Not today." Her smile faltered a little and he decided not to press the matter further, sensing something had happened. He nodded and decided to leave her to it figuring the last thing she needed was him annoying her.

" Well enjoy your breakfast." He offered a small, genuine smile and backed away.

" Care to join me for breakfast?" She surprised herself by asking this but he had seemed to genuinely take her feelings into consideration when he walked away that she couldn't resist asking. He turned back surprised and sat down.

" What'll it be gorgeous?"

" Mm I'm feeling the pancakes." He chuckled happily, he liked the side this pregnancy had brought out in her, the old Addison would probably have ordered coffee. He signalled the waiter who instantly appeared and ordered Addison's pancakes requesting chocolate chip.

" Thanks Daisy." He said to the young girl who giggled and walked off. Addison smiled as despite everything; she enjoyed how everyone fell at Mark's feet. Addison's pancakes came and she wolfed them down, much to Mark's amusement. She told Mark about what had happened at prom, she didn't know why but she did. She could see he was pissed off but instead of flying off the handle and screaming about Derek he put his energy into comforting her. As the waitress came with the bill Addison stopped Mark as he went to pay.

" Charge it to the card on file please." Mark looked at her like she was crazy. Addison paying for a meal, she was a changed woman!

" Thanks." He said.

" Oh don't thank me, thank Derek." She replied coolly, smirking once again. Mark laughed.

" You're bad." He joked.

" You would know." She winked at him. He rose from the table and began to pull her up.

" Okay just because we had breakfast does not mean I am sleeping with you."

" Hard as it may be to believe that's not what I had in mind. Come on." She smiled as she let him lead her off.

" Wow I can't believe you found this." She said gazing through the viewfinder.

" Yeah well I guess some of your habits rubbed off. It's a pretty amazing view huh?"

" Mm." she said concentrating on looking. Mark laughed, god he loved her. But she loves Derek.

Halfan hour later Addison laughed as mark picked up another dress.

" What about this one?" He said with child like eyes.

" Mark what's the point in buying little pink dresses when I don't even know the sex of the baby?"

" I told ya, I've got a feeling." He said winking at her. She laughed shaking her head.

" Well I'm buying it and we'll see in a few months who was right." He went to the cash register and paid.

" You didn't have to do that." She said accepting the gift.

" What are friends for?"

" Have we ever just been friends?"

" Come on, you know we were at the beginning…" She gave him a look that said ' yeah right '. He chuckled as she touched little hats, absorbed in her own little world.

His pager went off and he sighed. She turned to him with a small understanding smile. He looked sheepish.

" Doctors." She said with a shrug. He hugged her.

" Chin up." He said teasingly. " Have fun, make sure to spend lots of Derek's money."

She laughed.

" Sure thing, friend."

He walked off and she continued to look around the shop thinking about meeting this new little person.

" Excuse me." She looked up into the most beautiful chocolate eyes. " I was wondering if you could help me?" He held up two young girls outfits. She smiled.

" Sure. For your daughter?"

" Niece. She's turning 7 and I have no idea what she'd like." He smiled.

" Okay well…" She contemplated the two outfits and did some swapping. " These two will go best." She smiled.

" Wow that was good, you really were the best woman for the job." He grinned.

" I'm Connor." He said extending his hand.

" Addison." She said taking his hand. It was firm; she loved a strong hand. He smiled down at her.

" What do you say I buy you a coffee to say thanks?" She hesitated – she knew she shouldn't but something about him just drew her to him. He sensed her hesitation.

" Just a thank you." He affirmed. What the hell. She thought, soon she'd have a baby to take care of, may as well take advantage of a coffee invite, hell Derek was sleeping with another woman, she was well within her right.

" Okay." She smiled.

She laughed hard. This guy was hilarious. She couldn't believe how much they had clicked in such a short time. He's dreamy. Did she really just think that?

" What do you do?" She asked.

" I'm an architect." He smiled.

" Oh wow, that's interesting."

" Yeah, its amazing I love it. There's nothing like designing someone's dream home. Watching it turn from bricks and cement into their dream. And knowing that they're gonna be happy there."

She stared at him intently, captivated by how much he cared about his work. He looked down embarrassed.

" Boy do I sound lame."

" No. I actually find it refreshing." She bit her lip. God she was drooling all over him. He looked into her eyes for a long moment and she actually felt weak at the knees. Get a grip Addison; you're behaving like a schoolgirl.

" What do you do?"

" I'm a neonatal surgeon." He looked impressed.

" Wow." He grinned. She smiled back.

" Yeah. People often underestimate me, thinking I'm just an OBGYN but I'm actually one of the best in the world at my job." He smiled.

" That doesn't surprise me." She looked at him. " I just mean you look like someone who knows what they want and goes and gets it." She laughed.

" And the funny thing is, lately that couldn't be further from the truth."

She remembered something. " You know I actually just bought a house, I'm thinking about making some changes to the layout, maybe you could take a look for me?"

" I'd love to."

Connor paid the bill and they exchanged numbers.

" We should do this again sometime."

" Definitely." She stared into his beautiful eyes once again. " Call me."

He picked up her hand and kissed it, sending shivers down her spine.

" Goodbye beautiful." And he turned and walked away. She started to walk away also; smitten with this intriguing stranger and slightly disappointed the coffee was over. Her cell started to ring.

" So I didn't know how long to wait before I called." She laughed and they started chatting as if it was completely normal for them both.

Derek had been going out of his mind. Where is she?! He knew she wasn't lying dead in a ditch somewhere but he was still distraught all the same that his now pregnant wife was 'missing'. He knew she was pissed. He hadn't exactly handled the news perfectly but there was no need for her to take off without even telling him where she was going. He needed to tell her he was sorry, and that he loved her and the baby. He knew things had been difficult lately. He knew their relationship was strained but he did still love her, she was still his wife.

He sighed. There was still Meredith. The only crime she had committed was falling in love with a single guy, a guy that just happened to be not so single. If only he had been straight with her from the beginning, maybe all this heartache could have been prevented. But when he met Meredith, he wanted to forget Addison, forget the image of his best friend lying on top of his wife, of his hands all over his wife's beautiful body, of his wife's hands- nails digging into his friends back. He wanted to forget her crying hysterically and begging him not to go. Of her saying they would never get past it if he left. Of her standing out in the freezing New York night, in the pouring rain screaming for forgiveness.

He shouldn't have left that night, he shouldn't have left Meredith blindsided and he shouldn't have neglected Addison to the point of her sleeping with Mark just for attention. He knew she would never have done it if she had known he would have just left. He knew she had expected him to be livid, to be disgusted but had thought he would get past it, they would get past it. He knew he shouldn't be sitting here, feel sorry for himself reliving all this- but he was. This was what happened with he wasn't with Addison or even when he wasn't with a woman. He dialled her number again which as expected went to voicemail.

" Addison-" he sighed. " I know you're mad and I know you can say that I just left you and you are perfectly within your right to do the same. But…I'm hoping you'll be the bigger person and at least call me so we can just talk. I know I've reached stalker status right about now but I'm worried about you. Please just call."

He hung up and flopped onto the bed. What was he going to do?

Addison walked into her hotel room satisfied. She loved the luxury of this compared to the stupid trailer. She kicked her heels off and slid out of her dress. She'd had the best day. Mark had actually proven to be capable of being a friend and she had met a handsome stranger. Finally a good day. She hesitantly turned on her cell to find as expected, a lot of messages. Twenty to be precise. Deciding against listening to them she turned it back off. She didn't want to ruin an otherwise nice day. She lay back on her large pillows and flicked on the TV whilst scanning the room service menu.

Thoughts???? Oh and seriously guys I have no idea what to name the babies Lol.
