A/N: Thanks so much for all the reviews!!!!! Here is the next chapter. Oh, flashbacks are in italics.
"Addie, what happened? Are you okay?"
Derek rushed into Addison's hospital room with Meredith lingering behind him.
"Get her out of here." Addison sobbed. "I don't want to see her."
Before Derek had a chance to say anything, Meredith was out the door and walking towards the waiting room.
"What happened, Addie? How is the baby."
"Baby? There is no baby, DEREK." Addison snapped.

"Dr. Montgomery, a newborn was just dropped off here. She doesn't appear to have a mother or father." Nurse Olivia said.
"Everybody has a mother and father."
"One of your interns found her in the parking lot wrapped in a blanket. She was in a basket."
"Was there a note?" Addison asked.
"No, just the baby."
"Where is she now?"
"She's in room 304 with Alex Karev."
"Thank you. Call the police and let them know what's going on. Maybe they can find her parents."
Olivia ran behind the desk to call the police while Addison ran to room 304 to check on the newborn.
"Her umbilical cord is still attached. She can't be more than a few hours old." Addison noted as soon as she had seen the child.
"Who would do this to their baby?" Alex questioned.
"You'd be surprised Karev." Addison paused and looked the newborn up and down. "Is this exactly how you found her?"
"Yes."
"Where is the blanket she came in with?"
"Its over there in the corner. It was saturated with urine. I wanted to get it away from her."
"Good thinking. The umbilical cord hasn't been cut properly. It was only cut off of the mother. Karev, I need you to get me sensitive baby wipes or a wash cloth of some sort to clean her skin with and scissors to remove the cord. And while you're at it, get a bottle of formula, some diapers, and a new blanket. We're going to see if she will eat."
As soon as Alex left, Addison's pager went off. She looked at it. It was Olivia telling her that the police officers were there. She walked out of the room and up to the desk, where the police men waited.
"Hi. I'm Dr. Montgomery Shepherd."
Addison shook both police mans hands.
"Where is the baby?" One of the police men asked.
"Oh, um…she's right in here."
Addison led them to the room that the baby currently occupied.
"Have you done anything to her yet or is this exactly how she was found?"
"The only change is the blanket that was on her. We removed it because it was covered in urine."
"Is she doing alright now?" The other cop asked.
"She seems to be breathing on her own. I was just about to check her heart beat before you came. Then I plan on cleaning her up, getting some food into her, and then possibly taking some blood work."
"Very good. We're going to get this up on the news. We'll see if anybody knows anything. If we find anything out we'll let you know."
"Do you think she has to stay over night?" The first police man asked.
"Yes, just to be on the safe side." Addison answered.
"Okay. We'll call you if we hear anything. If not then we will see you tomorrow when we come to bring her to child services."
Addison nodded, and proceeded to take care of the infant.
A few hours later, Addison and Alex had cleaned the newborn, they had fed her, and had gotten her blood results back. After calling the police with the blood test results, they were told that her parents were Jack Freebook, and Amy Patterson.
"So Karev, it looks like our work here is done. Good work tonight." Addison patted Alex on the back and began to walk out of the room.
"Wait! I think she needs a name." Alex blurted.
"Alex, you know that we don't have the right to name her."
"Dr. Montgomery, we have spent our entire night caring for this baby. A baby who has no family, no mom or dad or grandparents. Nobody wants her. We saved her life. I think we owe it to her to give her a name, even if it's a temporary name."
"Okay Karev, what do you have in mind?"
"I was thinking about Addison." Alex suggested.
"That's my name."
"I know, but you went all out tonight, and I think this baby deserves to be temporarily named after you. If she was older, you would be her hero."
Addison smiled. "Thank you Alex. You'll keep an eye on her tonight?"
"Of course."
"Good, I'm going to go home. Call me if there are any changes."
"Okay. See you tomorrow."
As Addison was walking out of the hospital, a man by the name of Jack Freebook approached her. At the time Addison didn't know who the man was. She simply smiled and began to walk away. As she did this, Jack placed a foot in front of her. Addison didn't see this, so she continued to walk out to the car, the next thing she knew it, she had fallen onto her stomach.
"That…that is for keeping my daughter alive."
With that Jack Freebook left Seattle Grace Hospital.

"A patient's father who was mad at me tripped me. There is no baby." Addison told Derek.
Derek was at a lose of words. "I'm sorry."
"Me too." Came Addison's reply. "Now if you don't mind I'd like to left alone. Go enjoy your cool whip."
"Addie…"
"Save it Derek."
As soon as Derek left the room, Addison's doctor walked in.
"How are you feeling Addie?"
"Good, I guess. I'm a little sore, you know, bruises and all. I'm just relieved that there is still a baby. I don't know what I would have done if she had died."
"I'm sure Derek was thrilled."
"I didn't tell him. He thinks Lexi died."
"Lexi?" Doctor Green asked.
"Yeah. When I thought that the baby had passed, all I kept thinking was that she needed a name and then I noticed that Doctor Karev didn't leave my side the entire time. So Lexi, after Alex. Her real name will be Alexandria and Alexis. I haven't decided which one yet."
"Well either one is pretty. I do however think you should tell Derek. It's not right to keep this from him."
"Did you know that while I was laying in this bed, he was screwing Meredith Grey?" Addison asked.
Doctor Green didn't say anything.
"Well, you're doing much better. I think however, you are going to be put on bed rest. It's a miracle that the baby is alive and doing well. The last thing we need is for something to go wrong."
"I understand."
"Do you have somebody who can take you home?"
"Yes." Addison answered.
"Good. If everything stays normal, you can leave the day after tomorrow. I'll be back tomorrow morning to check on you."
"Thank you Doctor Green."

"Hey Derek." Meredith greeted as she stood up from her chair.
"How is she? How are you?"
"Fine. I just. I want to be alone right now."
Before Meredith could say anything, Derek had left the waiting area and was on his way downstairs.
After waiting for almost an hour, Meredith decided to go find one of her friends to drive her home. She found Cristina sitting on a gurney doing paperwork.
"Hey." Meredith greeted.
"Oh hey, what are you doing here?" Cristina asked.
"Addison lost the baby. Addison lost the baby while her husband was trying to find ways to sleep with me."
"Oh. OH! That's not good."
"No, its not. I feel bad. Really bad, but there's nothing I can do. Derek won't talk to me. Addison won't talk to me, and these damn babies won't stop kicking."
"Did Derek leave yet?"
"I think so. I was wondering if you could drive me home."
"I'd have to ask chief but I'm sure he'd say okay. You stay here, I'll be right back."
"Thank you Cristina."
While Meredith was waiting for Cristina, Derek walked up to the gurney and sat down next to Meredith.
"Hi." Meredith whispered softly.
"Hi."
When Derek didn't say anything else, Meredith got off of the gurney and began to walk down the hallway.
"Meredith, wait!" Derek called after her.
Meredith turned around and looked at Derek.
"Listen, I'm here for you. I know that this is hard for you and you probably feel like crying. I just want you to know that I am here for you." Meredith said.
"Thank you. I appreciate that. Are you ready to go home?"
"Yeah. I just have to tell Cristina."
"Cristina?" Derek questioned.
"Yeah, I thought you had left already. I asked her for a ride home."
"I wouldn't have left you here alone."
Meredith just nodded her head before going to find Cristina.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be on bed rest, no walking?" Derek called after her.
Meredith stared blankly at Derek.
"I just…you're supposed to be on bed rest right? Why don't you sit in a wheelchair and I'll push you up to Cristina. I don't want to lose two more of my offspring's."
"You won't, I promise."
A/N: So how did you guys like it? See I'm not that mean. I didn't kill Addie's baby. What do you guys think if Alex adopts little Addison or if he becomes her foster parent until she can be placed in a real home? I want someone at the hospital to adopt her. Alex seems best I think. What do you guys think?
BTW, the count down is done until it comes back on in January.
Thanks for reading and please review!
