Okay here is another, I'm thinking I am going to need one more after this, because I really like writing it.

Maybe, Just Maybe

Izzie, George and Meredith were sitting in their living room, eating a pizza and watching a movie together when the doorbell rang. Izzie, being the curious one immediately got up to answer it and when she opened the door, standing there was one of the most unlikely people; Christy Shepherd. Her hair was unusually messy, her beautiful blue eyes were red, you could tell she had been crying and there was no smile or usual peppiness to her.

Izzie was the first to speak, "Oh my gosh, honey what happened?" Christy didn't answer her, just collapsed into her arms and started to cry again. Izzie wasn't sure exactly what was wrong but knew it probably had something to do with Derek and Addison, so she just held onto the girl that had become a very good little friend to the interns. She rubbed her hands up and down her back, letting her cry. When Meredith and George heard her they came into the entrance way and saw the figure that was in Izzie's arms, instantly worried about her. After Christy had slowed down a little, Izzie and Meredith led her over to the couch and George went to get her a glass of water.

"I, I just, I just, I couldn't take it anymore, they were yelling and fighting again and I just couldn't, couldn't take it anymore. I got up and I yelled at them, I told them they had no brains and that we can't keep living like this and I've had enough. Then, I left, I came here, I had to get away." George came back in the room with a glass of water and Meredith decided she'd better call Derek and let him know that his daughter was safe with her, even if they had yelled at each other; she knew Derek would be worried about Christy. "I'm not going back there tonight."

"No Christy, you don't have to, you can stay right here," George reassured her, "we'll take care of you." Christy looked up and smiled a little, muttering a quiet thanks to George.

Derek and Addison had yet to speak to each other since Christy had stormed out. Addison remained inside and Derek was pacing outside of the trailer, his usually gorgeous hair was messy from the number of times he had run his hand through it. He was worried about where his daughter had gone, it was dark outside and they lived in the bush, however it didn't take to long to get into town on her bike. He was thinking about what she had said; 'we know you love Meredith and you want to be with her.' Did he love Meredith? That was easy, yes he did; he loved Meredith Grey.

How could he have been so stupid? How did he not notice that their plan to try for Christy had only been making her life harder? How could he have been such a bad father? These were the questions bouncing around in his head over and over again. He was startled from his thoughts when his cell phone began to vibrate in his pocket. He looked on the caller ID and saw that it was Meredith. He contemplated whether or not to answer but realized that was probably where Christy had gone. She really liked the interns, they had become friends. He quickly flipped his phone opened and didn't even bother to say hello. "Is she there?" He asked worriedly. "Is she alright?"

"Yes Derek she's here, and physically she is okay, but mentally Derek; she's hurt, scared and traumatized."

"Can I talk to her? Please Meredith? She's my daughter."

"No Derek, she is really upset with you two right now and she needs some space and some time to heal. She's staying here tonight so don't even bother coming to get her until morning. Figure things out with Addison, take some time, and then come and talk to Christy. Right now, she just wouldn't be able to handle it. Derek, she showed up at our door and collapsed into Izzie's arms sobbing." This made Derek's heart break. His baby girl was scared and upset and all he wanted to do was hold her and tell her everything would be okay, but Meredith was right, they needed time to figure this out. "Derek she will be alright with us for the night. I'll see you tomorrow." Derek closed his phone and sat down on the deck putting his face in his hands, disappointed in himself for letting Christy down.

Addison sat inside on the couch, thinking about what her daughter had said; 'we'll be a better family if you let him go.' She was absolutely right, they would be in two separate houses but at least they could all be somewhat happy. She was upset with herself for not realizing this on her own, her 12 year old daughter had to spell it out for her and she had suffered so much before she actually did. Addison was worried about Christy; where she had gone and if she was alright. She wanted to go after her but she knew that it would only make the situation worse. She heard the door open and heard Derek mutter that Christy was staying at Meredith's for the night and she was safe.

"Derek…" Addison broke the silence, "I, uh think we need to talk."

"Hmmf, ya, that might be a good idea." Derek sat down beside his wife on the couch and they looked each other in the eye. "How could we have done this to her? How did we not notice?"

"Like she said Derek, we were too caught up fighting with each other that we didn't stop to see how she was. I feel so awful…are we bad parents Derek?"

"We aren't bad parents Addison we just made a mistake, well a few mistakes." They paused for a few seconds, both thinking about what had to be said next, and then they said it; both of them at the same time. "We need a divorce." This caused them both to smile a little. Derek was the first to respond.

"Yes, I think it is time we fixed this, before we lose our daughter for good."

"First thing tomorrow morning, before we go to Christy, we have to show her that it's over." Addison got up and put a few things in a bag and went for the door. Derek kissed her forehead one last time. "Good bye Derek."

"Good bye Addison." And with that Addison left.

Christie woke up on the couch, like every other morning, but it took her a second to realize that this was not her blanket, couch or even trailer. Then she remembered where she was and why she was there. She sat up and saw an envelope sitting on the coffee table with a small hand written note attached to it. It read; 'Hope you are okay. We had to leave for work early but one of us will be back in time to bring you to school. Meredith, George and Izzie.'

Christy laughed and then turned her attention to the envelope. She opened it up to find another note this one a little longer and she could tell it was in her mother's handwriting. 'Christy, you know we both love you very much and we cannot explain just how sorry we are for what we have done. We hope the other papers in this envelope will help with showing this. We really want to talk to you but only when you are ready. Love, Mom and Dad.' Christy pulled the other papers out of the envelope and began to cry. Divorce papers, signed by both her parents. She had thought last night that she would never be able to forgive them but this really did help. Maybe, just maybe could finally be happy again.

So there it is. But I have to say, this is sort of a Mer/Der fic so it isn't over yet, there are still a few things to work out. But, that was pretty much the climax, the last two chapters.
