Okay I am updating now and it will probably be the last one for three of four days because I am going out of town, so I will try and make it a good one. In the last chapter I wrote Derek and Addison were already starting to bicker again and both Derek and Christy were left questioning Derek's decision to stay with Addison.
This chapter will basically be more fighting and more questioning. Oh and it takes place a couple weeks after the previous chapter, and you are to expect that in those two weeks Derek and Addison fought a lot about various stupid little things.
Things Can Change
Christy Shepherd was a very athletic kid. When she lived in New York she played basketball, volleyball, and soccer. Now that she lived in Seattle, she hadn't joined a sports team yet, but that would soon change. She was outside at recess one day playing basketball with her friends Jamie, Mallory, Erin, Jake and Mitchell and the teacher on duty, who happened to be the girl's basketball coach noticed her paying. "Hi," she said, "I'm Mrs. Johnston; you're new here, aren't you?"
"Uh, ya, I'm Christy; Christy Shepherd."
"Well Christy, how would you like to join the girl's basketball team?"
"I would love too."
"Okay, good, well we have a practice after school tonight and a game tomorrow so I'll get you a uniform." Mrs. Johnston walked away leaving Christy to finish the school day before her basketball practice.
After the practice Christy walked to the hospital and found her dad doing paperwork in his office. "No surgeries?"
"Hey, sweetie, nope not today."
"Hmm, guess what?" She didn't give him any time to answer. "I joined the school basketball team! We have a game tomorrow night."
"That's awesome; I was really missing watching you play basketball. Mom and I will see if we can both have the evening off to go watch."
"Cool, well I am going to go see her and the interns, I'll see you later dad."

The next day Christy walked to the hospital as usual and Derek and Addison brought her to her basketball game. She really did love being back on the court, handling the ball, making the perfect passes, hearing the sound it made when it fell through the mesh and most of all; the fun of being on the team. They started off pretty well and were up by 4 points at the half. Christy had played the whole game so far as their leading point guard and she was doing great.
She dribbled the ball up the court, looking for pass options. She could hear two people bickering in the stands right behind her but she was to intent on the game to care. She made a pass, got the ball right back and took the shot, making the basket. She looked back at her parents, thinking she would see them smiling and cheering, instead seeing that they were the two people she could hear bickering and it had become more of an argument that was drawing the attention of many people in the stands. Christy tried her best to finish the game and ignore them but by then end, more people were interested in the fighting couple than the game itself. As soon as it was over, she left and went straight to the car, completely ignoring her parents.
The ride home was very silent, as Christy sat in the backseat and scowled the whole time. This was supposed to be special to her, her first game on a new team, in a new city, but instead her parents had become the stars. Her mother looked back at her, "Honey, I am…" But she was cut off.
"No, don't honey me. This was supposed to be my time. I sit at home every night listening to the two of you fight, trying as hard as I can to ignore it, and now I just wanted to play basketball and have some fun like I used to." And with that Christy got out of the car as they pulled up to the trailer and slammed the door rather viciously.
The next day Christy was talking to Meredith, Alex and Izzie and she told them about basketball and her parents stealing the show. "Well, how would you like it if the three of us came to your next one, and we'll be there to stop them if they start fighting?"
"I'd like that Alex, I have a game Friday night at my school. Thanks so much you guys."
Addison and Derek had been a bit better about the fighting for the past few days and Christy was grateful for this but she still didn't trust them to not fight so, when both of her parents wanted to bring her to her game she said, "No, not a chance, just one of you tonight okay."
They decided that Derek would bring her this time, when the got to the gym Christy went to warm up with her team and Derek took a seat in the stands. About five minutes into the game Derek noticed three familiar faces coming in the door they noticed him and came and sat with him. "What are you guys doing here?" He asked.
"Watching Christy," Izzie responded like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Alright, Mer probably just wanted to come to see me. Can't get enough of me at work?"
He asked flirtatiously.
"Maybe I can't," she whispered in his ear, causing Derek to once again question his decision. They talked to each other for the rest of the game and Derek hated that he had to say goodbye when it was over. What he didn't notice was the smile that appeared on Christy's face when she saw the two of them.

The next day Alex was assigned to Addison and he brought up the basketball game. "Dr. Shepherd, your daughter sure is a good ball player, I was really impressed."
"You went to her game?"
"Ya, Izzie, Meredith and I went last night. Christy got 20 points."
That last name really got to Addison; Meredith. Meredith and Derek at Christy's basketball game together. Meredith and Derek together.
So there is another chapter, I thought it was pretty good, please review.
