A/N: Finally the next chapter! LOL. It seems like its been forever since I last updated. Thanks for all the reviews for the last chapter. You guys rock!!!!!!

"Mer, I'm going to work now. I'll see you later okay?" Derek kissed the top of Meredith's lavender scented head.

"Mhmm." Was all Meredith could get out.

"Call me when you wake up, okay?"

"Mhmm." Meredith repeated.

"Yeah, I'm just going to go now."

Meredith didn't even bother responding to that, she just covered her head with her pillow and went back to sleep. Derek silently laughed as he walked out of the room.

"Knock knock." Alex opened the door to Addison's room the next morning and opened her chart.

"Hey Karev." Addie said sleepily.

"So, you get to go home today? That wasn't a very long stay at all."

Addison shook her head.

"Alex, do you think you could drive me to a hotel when I'm released? I have no other way home."

"Sure but why a hotel? I could just take you to a trailer, unless…"

"ALEX! No! Get your mind out of the gutter."

Alex smirked. "I'm just playing with you, but seriously did you and McDreamy have a fight?"

"Sort of. While I was here, thinking that I had lost the baby, he was screwing Grey."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Addison smiled at Alex. "It's not your fault. If anything you helped me through this and I thank you for that. I'm going to name her after you, you know."

"Thank you. That's a huge honor." Alex paused for a second, looking down at his shoes. "Would it be possible for me to foster little Addison?"

"Can I be honest with you?" Addison asked.

Alex nodded his head and sat down on Addison's bed.

"Although you would be an amazing father, foster, adoptive or birth father that is, you don't want to be responsible for a newborn. They are a lot of work and with your work load, its just…it would be way to much for you. Plus, fostering a child is never easy. You grow attached to it and then when they are placed, its like you lost a part of yourself. I wouldn't do it Karev, but you do what you want."

"I guess you're right. Maybe when I complete my internship I will apply to be a foster parent. You know, if Izzie and I work out, or if I find someone else."

"Yeah, I get that."

Addison looked into Alex's eyes and for once she saw him as a man, not a young brainless intern. And if it was only for a moment, it made her wonder if there was more to Alex Karev that what he appeared to the public.

Alex broke off the eye contact as fast as it had started and stood up and began walking towards the door. When he reached the door, he slowly turned around and looked at Addison.

"I'll be back at ten to drive you to the hotel."

"Okay, see you then."

As soon as Derek arrived at the hospital, he went straight up to Addison's room to see how she was doing. When he walked into the room, she looked up from the magazine she was reading and smiled.

"Happy to see me?" Derek asked.

"No. I thought you were some one else." Addison's smile fell as she returned her attention to what she had been reading. "What do you want Derek?"

"I want to talk, to make things right."

Addison looked down at her lap. "It's too late Derek, just go home to Meredith. I give up. She wins. It was her all along. We both know it. The baby was the only thing keeping us together, and now that we don't even have that working for us, there's nothing. Let's just call it quits. You go back to Mer. I'll be okay. She needs you more anyway. No woman can handle twins alone. Go and be with her."

"Addie…"

"Goodbye Derek."

"I guess I'll see you around…" Derek said sadly.

Addison nodded her head as she watched Derek leave the room. Once he was out of sight, she placed a hand on her stomach.

"I did this for you, baby. It's better this way, you'll see."

"Mer, I'm home." Derek called from the front door.

"Hey Babe." Meredith walked into the living room from the kitchen and kissed Derek right on the lips. "How was work?"

"Good." Derek replied as he kissed her back.

Derek continued to kiss Meredith until she backed away. "How's Addie?" Meredith's face grew serious now.

"She's good. She doesn't want anything to do with me."

"I don't blame her." Meredith admitted.

"Neither do I."

"How are you?"

"I think I'm almost over it."

"Derek, you lost a child yesterday! How can you be over it already?!? That's unheard of."

"I guess I was never really that attached to the baby."

"Derek! She was your daughter! How can you not be the least bit sad?!" Meredith yelled.

"It's complicated Mer."

"So, you're telling me that I took a knife and stabbed my own stomach, killing both babies, you wouldn't be the least bit upset?"

"Of course I'd be upset but that's different Meredith and you know it!"

"It is NOT different. She was as much, if not more, your child then these babies right here. Its not normal to not be upset."

Derek didn't no what to say about this.

"I'm going upstairs. Help yourself to dinner." Meredith screamed from the stairs.

"Okay, but please go back to bed. You shouldn't be on your feet."

"Humph." Meredith yelled rather frustrated as she slammed her door.

Once Meredith was situated on her bed, she picked up her cordless phone and dialed Addison's cell phone number.

"Hello." Addison answered.

"Addie, its me. I know you probably want to hang up right now, but just please hear me out."

When Addie didn't say anything and there appeared to have not been a 'click' Meredith continued what she was going to say.

"I am really truly sorry and I know you probably don't want to hear it. I've just…I've been so lonely and then when I saw Derek look at me in that McDreamy way of his, I gave in. I had no intention of doing Anything with him. But that look. Addison, you have to know what I mean. There was just this moment where we were staring at each other and it was just there and it happened. I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt you. You were, are, one of my best friends and I want to hurt myself whenever I think about how much I hurt you."

"I know what you mean. I get it." Addison barely whispered.

"What?"

"I get it. I get what you're saying."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Derek is an ass."

Addison laughed. "What makes you say that?"

"He just is. I don't know who he thinks he is."

Addison laughed again. "I agree with you on that one."

"So how are you?" Meredith asked.

"I'm doing okay. I'm not going to work for awhile. I'm staying at a hotel."

"Its good that you're taking some time off."

"Yeah it is." Addison agreed. "You should stop by sometime tomorrow to hang out."

"I'm on bed rest, why don't you come over here?"

"Same."

"What?"

"I'm on…never mind." Addison nervously chuckled. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"You'll come here?"

"Why don't you come here and we can hang out by the pool?"

"Sounds good. See you then."

Addison closed her cell phone and placed it on the nightstand.

"Who was that?" Alex asked.

"It was Meredith."

"You forgive her?"

"I have no choice."

"You do have a choice Addie."

"No, no I don't. I feel the same way Meredith does about a man. I would act on impulse too if I were so lucky as to be given a moment like that."

"Who's the new McDreamy?" Alex wondered aloud.

"I think you know him."

"Really? Who?"

"Alex…" Addison smiled.

Alex just smiled back before closing in to kiss her. Once they broke apart, Addison and Alex started to laugh uncontrollably.

"Never again, Alex, okay? Do we agree?"

Alex nodded his head as he laughed. "That was by far the worse kiss I have ever had, no offense."

"None taken. The same goes for me." Addison agreed.

"It's getting late, I should go. I'll check up on you tomorrow, okay?"

"Sounds great. Thanks a lot Alex."

"Anytime."

Later that night, Derek climbed the stairs, completely exhausted. Over the years he had grown to know not to bother Meredith when she was upset. It was best to let her be, so that's what he did. He gave her her space all night. He stayed downstairs away from her.

It was finally ten o'clock and he was climbing the stairs to take a shower. He turned the water on, so it was just hot enough, and then stepped into the shower. It didn't take long before he had lowered himself to the ground and tears began to escape his eyes.

He had kept his emotions in for so long that he didn't even hear the door open almost an hour later. It wasn't until Meredith had turned the water off and led him into her bedroom that he realized that he had been crying and that Meredith had found him like that.

"It's okay. It will all be okay." Meredith spoke sadly as she rubbed his back. "It's going to be okay. You'll see."

A/N: Okay that was a little sad. Please let me know what you guys think about this chapter. Also, do you like Alexis, Alexia, or Alexandria for Addie's baby?

Thanks for reading and please review!
