Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to GA except for the soundtrack and DVD. S2 comes out in 1 week. I can't wait!

A/N: Wow, I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever, but seeing as how its 6:30 in the morning and I'm still not asleep, might as well use my time wisely.
So this is going to be the chapter before the unearthing chapter. I'm going to go to bed now, but I'll do the rest when I get up.

Derek sat on his porch, staring out across the land that was all his. It was nature, no matter what Addi said. The sun was beginning to rise and he knew he had to get ready for work soon. Not just yet though, because he was still turning over what she had said to him 5 hours ago. It still hadn't completely sunk in yet. What had happened. How could she carry around a secret like this for so long?

Then again, there was a lot of things about Addison that he thought he knew but didn't. He grabbed his cell phone. He just needed to hear her voice.

"Hello?" answered the crackling voice he knew so well.
"Meredith?"
"Derek?"
"I know."
"Oh!" Pounding noises were heard in the background. Then...
"Well, are you going to tell me? I could put you on speaker."
"At the hospital."
"Wha-" but Derek hung up. He still didn't know quite what to say.

He took one last look at the orange blob through the trees, then got up to get ready for work.

Brianna woke up early again, but this time it was to read the precious information she'd gotten the night before. The file was heavy and messed up, but she sifted through it with the ease of a pro. This wasn't the first time she'd had to find something.

"Brianna!"

Crap. Brianna shoved the pages into her large purse.

"Yes?"

"Brianna," her mother came running up the stairs," I know that you want to be in this program, and that's fine, but would you do me a favor and try to stay away from Addison Montgomery?"

"Mom. What happened between you two?"

"It happened a long time ago. Get in the car."

On her way out, Brianna touched her papers. They were still there, like this secret that had been waiting more than a decade to come out.

Christina Yang always won. She was always right. The odds were always tipped in her favor. And it wasn't because of luck. It was because she made them that way.

If she couldn't get to the hospital early, that was fine. She'd just drag everyone else with her.

Suprisingly, everyone was ready to go this morning, which was kind of annoying, but Christina didn't care.

Izzie ran out the door. "McDreamy knows what's up with Addison. Come on, let's go!"

They rushed to their car.

Review, pretty please! And stay tuned for the revealing of the secret!
