A/N: Thank you guys for all the reviews! Grey's Anatomy was sooooooooo sad on Thursday. I wanted to cry, but thank God Meredith and Derek are back together. Its about time! Lol. I don't even know if I'm a MERDER fan but its seriously is about time. LOL.
The next morning when Meredith went downstairs for breakfast, she found Addison asleep on her couch. She walked over to the sofa and covered Addison ever so gently with a quilt to keep her warm, and then walked into the kitchen to call Derek.
"Hello."
"Derek, hi. It's me."
"I know who it is."
"Listen, I have your wife asleep on my couch."
"Oh thank God. She left her wallet at the trailer last night. I was afraid she was going to have to sleep in her car."
"Well, she's not. She's on my couch."
"Thanks for telling me, but there's nothing I can do. She wants nothing to do with me."
"Gee, I wonder why?"
"Meredith…"
"I'll tell her to call you. Goodbye Derek."
Meredith hung up the phone, and proceeded to get herself something to eat. She grabbed a box of cereal, some milk, a spoon, and a bowl. She placed all of the contents on the table, pouring the cereal and milk into the bowl. Just as she was about to take a bite, Addison walked into the kitchen.
"Hey." Addison said softly.
"Hey yourself. So, what happened last night? You didn't have anywhere to go?"
Addison shook her head as she grabbed herself a bowl and spoon. "I forgot my wallet. I couldn't afford to get a hotel room with the amount of money that I had in my pocket. I waited for Izzie and George to come home, and when they did, I asked if I could sleep on the sofa. They agreed."
"Good, good."
"Meredith, listen, about last night…"
"No, its okay. I over reacted. I'm just sick of everyone asking how I know that Derek is the father. You're the one that should be mad, not me. I slept with your husband, not the other way around."
Hearing those words made Addison wish that she could tear Meredith Grey into shreds, but she knew that she couldn't, and even if she could, she wouldn't.
"It's okay, Meredith." Addison smiled. "Crap! What time is it?"
"A little after nine, why?"
"I was supposed to be at work two hours ago. Richard is going to kill me."
"No he won't. I'm pretty sure Derek told Richard everything."
"Why would you say that?"
"I just got off the phone with him. He was afraid that you had to sleep in your car. He thanked me for letting him know where you were."
Addison smiled. "You know, I wish I didn't love him. I'd do anything to not love him, but I do love him. I love him and I always will love him."
Meredith looked down at her hands. "Well maybe if you love him so much, you should go talk to him and try to work things out."
"I know and I will, but I want to shower first. Do you mind if I use your shower after I finish eating?"
"Not at all. Use the blue bottle of shampoo though. Don't even touch the pink."
"Should I ask why?"
"George is REALLY cheap about shampoo. So Izzie and I emptied his shampoo bottle and filled it with really expensive fifth teen dollar shampoo. Anyway, he noticed. So…he emptied ours and filled it with his cheap shampoo. So the expensive shampoo has cheap shampoo in it and the cheap shampoo has expensive shampoo in it."
"What?" Addison questioned.
"Just don't touch the pink shampoo bottle."
"Got it."
Addison finished the last of her cereal and placed the bowl and spoon in the sink.
"I'm going to go take a shower now. No pink shampoo."
"No pink shampoo."
Once Addison was out of sight, Meredith lowered her head into her hands and began to cry. As much as she wanted to be happy for Addison and Derek, she wanted to kill them at the same time. After a few minutes, Meredith placed her half full bowl of cereal in the sink, and dialed Finn's number.
"Doctor Dandridge's office."
"Hi. Can I please speak to Fin…Dr. Dandridge?"
"Who may I say is calling?"
"Meredith."
"One moment please."
A minute later Finn picked up the phone.
"Hello? Meredith is that you? I haven't heard from you in a while."
"I know and I'm sorry. Things have been…crazy."
"Mer, are you crying?" Finn asked concerned.
"Am I ever not crying? All I do now is cry. Cry. Cry. Cry. Cry. Cry. All I do is cry."
"What's wrong? Talk to me."
"Addison knows. Addison left Derek. Addison came here. She's not mad at me. She's to good to be mad at me. Addison is getting back together with Derek. Addison is in my shower. And I'm sitting at my kitchen table crying over her and Derek. I'm pathetic."
"I'm going to close up now. I'll have my secretary reschedule all of my appointments. I'll be at your house in twenty minutes, okay?"
"Okay."
Meredith turned the phone off and placed it on the table. She slowly got up and walked into the living room where she put 'A Baby Story' on.
Ten minutes later, Addison came down the stairs. Her hair was up in a ponytail, and she was wearing tight maternity jeans with a low cut maternity top.
"How do I look?" Addison did a little twirl.
"Amazing." Meredith choked out.
"Thank you."
"He's going to hurt you again."
"Excuse me?"
"Derek, he's going to hurt you again. I don't understand why you're going back to him. I personally think you and the baby are better off with out him."
"Derek isn't going to hurt me again. He's learned his lesson. We'll work through all of this. We always do."
"Believe what you want."
"You're just jealous." Addison spat.
"I'm not jeal…even if I am jealous, I'm just being honest with you."
"I knew you were jealous. Why don't you want me to be happy?"
"I do, its just. I have a right to be a little jealous. I'm pregnant with his babies as well."
"This is tough." Addison said as she sat down next to Meredith. "There's no winning with us. There's always going to be this thing between us."
"That thing is Derek." Meredith added.
"Maybe it would be best if we took a break away from each other. You know, give each other some space."
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"Okay, well, I'll see you around Meredith."
"Bye Addie."

Addison walked into the hospital later that day with a smile on her face. She was determined to win back her husband. As she reached the floor that Derek worked on, he smile quickly faded when she spotted Derek taking out Mark. She slowly jogged her way over to the two men and pulled Derek away from him.
"Mark, what are you doing here?" Addison asked.
"I came to see you. Apparently I was to late." Mark motioned towards her stomach.
"You're very late." Addison then looked at Derek, he had a bloody nose. "Come here. Let's take a look at that."
Derek sat down on a chair and waited for Addison to get with some tissues.
"Here, tilt your head back." Addison said as she handed him the tissues.
"I know what to do Addie." Derek smirked.
"Oh…I…just…"
"I'm surprised to see you here."
"Listen, Derek, I'm sorry. I over reacted last night. You and Meredith, that was before we got serious again. What I'm trying to say is that I forgive you and I want to try to work things out."
"Again?" Derek questioned.
"Again."
"I think I would like that."
"I would like that too."
"How about we start with dinner tonight? Then we can make our way back to our home, go on the computer and look for a real home?"
"Seriously?"
"Serioulsy."
"Thank you Derek. Now, lets make a pact okay?"
"Okay."
"No more mistresses and mistressters."
"Mistressters?"
"Well what do they call a guy mistress?"
"Good question, but lets hope we never have to find that out. So, here is to no more mistresses and mistressters."
Derek extended his pinky finger as did Addison.
"To no more mistresses and mistressters."

Right when Finn told Meredith that he would be at her house, he was. He was right on time like he always was.
"Hey Finn."
"Hello."
Finn kissed Meredith on the cheek. "I brought food."
"Thank you."
"So, how are you?"
"Good…" Finn gave Meredith a look. "…not so good."
"I thought so. Want to talk about it?"
"Addison doesn't want to be friends anymore. I'm getting in her and Derek's way. You know I thought that when this all got out everything would be okay again, but its not. Things will never be okay."
"That's not true Meredith. You and me…we're going to make things okay."
"How Finn? How will we make things okay?"
"For starters, we're going to make a nursery for these babies. We're going to get ready for them. Plus, you and me are going to go on vacation. We're going to get away from all of this Seattle drama."
"For how long?"
"For however long you want."
"Thank you Finn."
"You don't have to thank me. So, where would you like to go?"
"Not to far because of the babies."
"Of course not."
"Why don't we rent a cabin. You look like an outdoorsy kind of guy."
"That sounds great. I'll get right on it. We'll leave the day after tomorrow?"
"Sounds perfect."
