In response to tylerhiltongroupie53 on chapter 4, I didn't really plan on using that line either, I highly doubt a mother would say that in front of her kid too, but that's how I wrote it. I think Addison is just frustrated with the whole situation and she didn't want to have to explain Meredith to Christy so she just blurted it out, forgetting that it would hurt Christy.

Anyway here's the next chapter, which I own, unlike the show.

Improvements

It had been three days, that's how long Addison and Christy had been in Seattle. Addison was working and Derek was working, not that Christy really cared to talk to them anyway, but this meant she had spent the last three days just sitting around in the hospital. She listened to her ipod, talked to her new intern friends, but mostly she just thought. Thought about the last two months and everything that had happened and what it would be like if her life continued on this way. If she never spoke to her parents more than she had to, never had any fun with them, and continued to live on the other side of the country than her dad. It wouldn't be great so Christy new she had to do something about it.

Derek sat in his office thinking about what the past two months had amounted to and thinking about how Meredith had told him it wasn't enough. He loved Meredith; he was having a great time here with her before his wife and daughter showed up, but then again every day he thought about how much he missed Christy and he really wasn't sure what to do.

Derek was pulled from his thoughts when there was a knock at his door, "come in."

"Hi, can we talk?"

"Of course."

"I want to apologize to you dad."

"Apologize? I'm the one supposed to be apologizing, and I am really sorry."

"Wait, I have been thinking about the last two months and what it's been like and I don't want to keep living like that, I want two parents who love me and who I can talk to, like it used to be. And for what it's worth, I understand why you did everything that you did. You left because you couldn't stand to work with them and I agree, I couldn't have stood it either. You had Meredith because you thought your marriage was over, you left signed divorce papers, but she never signed. And you didn't call me because you didn't want Meredith to find out. Although some of that wasn't the best judgement, I understand. So, I am sorry I got so angry." All Derek could do was smile, she was a smart kid and she hit it right on the nose, with everything.

"Ya…But Sweetie I really am sorry for not calling, I could have found another way around that."

"You probably could have but, I would have done the same thing." With that, Derek went over and hugged his daughter for the first time in two months and he realized how mush he really missed her.

"Well kiddo," Derek finally spoke, "I have a surgery to do, why don't you go up to OR gallery 2 and watch." He watched her face light up, she rarely got to watch the surgeries that she was so interested in.

"Awesome, thanks dad!" And she ran off, leaving Derek truly happy for the time being.

Christy sat in the gallery watching her dad's surgery with Izzie and George. Izzie couldn't stand it anymore she had to know. "So, McCuttie, did you talk to him?"

"Ya, I talked to him, we're all good now."

"What? After what you said before, you're fine now."

"Ya, I realized pretty much everything he did had a reason and I can't keep living like this, having no parents, it sucks." That's when Meredith walked in and Christy stopped talking.

"Meredith, this is Christy, Christy, this is Meredith."

"Hi Christy."

"Look, I know you probably don't like me very much, being the one who sort of ruined what you have with my dad and all. But, it really isn't my fault at all, I deserve to have a dad. Anyway, I'm sorry."

"I thought..."

"I'm saying sorry for my dad, it can take him a while sometimes so I will just do it for him now, whatever happens he really will be sorry."

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay, and I am sorry you had to find our about me like that."

"Hey, that was my mom's fault." And the both laughed at this.

"See, look," Izzie started, "we can all be friends."

Okay, well there's that chapter, Christy is okay with Derek now, as you can see she's kind of a daddy's girl. She is sort of friends with the interns, but still has problems with Addison. Next Chapter I think we need to incorporate something from Bringing the Pain, to get the hole MerDer, Addek thing started, cause after all that is what this fic is about.
