A/N: Whoa. The premiere. Awesome. Didn't you guys think the Addison/Alex part in the middle perfectly fit in this story? At least I did. Enjoy, read and please review!
Chapter 4: Nothing I haven't seen before
A/N: Almost forgot. POV's Mark.
"You like your pizza?" I ask Angeline, as we sit in a little restaurant.
"It's delicious!"
"Good.." I say a little absent-minded.
"What are we going to do tomorrow, Daddy?"
"I don't know yet, sweetheart," I say while I wipe some tomato sauce of her mouth.
"Are we going to the hospital?"
"Why do you think that?"
She smiles.
"Well, mostly when we're travelling it's because you have to work. Don't you have to go to the hospital this trip?"
I sigh without noise. I knew she was going to ask about it sometime.
"I'm not really here for work, Angeline.."
She stops eating.
"For what, then?"
I hesitate. It would probably be better not to tell her.
"For old friends, of your Daddy's," I reply.
"Do I get see them?"
"Maybe.. You'll probably see Meredith again, you know, who watched you?"
Angeline nods and starts eating again.
"Yeah. She's cool."

The next morning, in the park.
"Hey Mark, Angeline," Meredith says and smiles at us, as we walk towards her.
"I'm sorry I have to dump her on you again," I say apologizing.
"It's okay.. She's a nice kid," Meredith replies and nods.
"I just.. have to take care of some stuff.. I won't be longer than an hour, or maybe two.."
"Mark.. it's okay. Take your time."
I sigh.
"Thanks Mer. I owe you," I say.
"Just buy me a drink when you get back, and things are even," she says smiling.
"Deal."
I kneel down and smile at Angeline.
"You'll be a good girl, okay? Daddy's back in an hour or so."
"Yes! Bye daddy!" Angeline jumps on me and gives me a kiss.
I get up, put Angeline down, smile at Meredith and make my way to Addison.

She doesn't know I'm coming, so I have no clue how this is going to work out.
I called to Seattle Grace this morning, if Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd or Dr. Grey was on call today.
Derek is, Meredith and Addison aren't. Which is to good to be true.
I knock on the door of the trailer, and I smile 'cause I can't believe they still live here.
Surgeons. They don't have time for anything. Not even moving.
I can hear the shower so I knock a bit louder.
After a second or two the shower goes of.
"Who's there?" I hear Addison say loudly.
"It's Mark.." I yell back.
I hear some noise, some stumbling, a "Damn it!" and again some noise.
"Why are you here?" I hear her say, near by.
"To talk.. Just let me in.."
"I'm half naked. I'm not going to let you in."
"It's nothing I haven't seen before," I say with a grin.
"Go away," I hear her reply angrily.
"No.."
I hear her walk away, and I sit down on the wooden stairs in front of the trailer.
Two minutes later I hear the doors open.
"You alone?"
I turn around, and see Addison standing there. Dressed.
"Yeah.."
She walks up to me and she sits down.
"Addison.." I sigh.
She doesn't respond, she just stares in front of her.
"I tried.." She says softly, quietly.
I say nothing and let her speak.
"I tried to forget her.. To deny it never happened.. I tried it so hard," she says and a tear falls from her cheek.
I take her hand, and she seems to accept it.
"It's just.. my mom left me, she just.. bailed. I didn't want that for her! So I left, before she knew me.. She's fine, now, right?"
Addison wipes away her tears and looks at me.
I nod slowly.
"Then go, Mark.. Go back to New York.. Don't let her life be ruined by me!"
By that Addison stands up and runs away, back into the trailer, slamming the door behind her.
I sit there for just a few more minutes, and I decide to leave. I have to let this get trough to me.

"Daddy!" Angeline runs up to me and I kneel to hug her.
"Hey little angel!"
She laughs, and I pick her up and we walk towards Meredith.
"That wasn't that long," she says, looking at her watch.
"No.." I say, not really willing to elaborate.
She smiles, and I tighten my grip on Angeline, who was almost falling trough my arms.
"So.. ready for lunch?"
"Lunch?" Meredith replies impressed.
"Yeah.. It's around twelve, right?"
She nods smiling.
"It is.."
"MCDONALDS!" Angeline cheers and looks at Meredith with a sad face.
"Don't fall for that," I say laughing and we walk out of the park.
"So.. You know any place good?" I ask her.
"I don't have time to socialize much, but I think I know a little restaurant, nearby."
30 minutes later we all have a big plate in front of us, with a big pancake.
Meredith told me all the new ins and outs about Seattle Grace, and Angeline just sat there quietly, enjoying her pancake with a big layer of sugar.
"So.. Are you going to tell me some more about you got here with a beautiful six-year old?" Meredith said, smiling at Angeline.
"She's my daughter," I say, trying to sound calm and neutral.
Meredith nods, and takes a bite out of her pancake.
"Why isn't her mother here?"
"She is.." I say, taking my glass of water and taking a sip. "Sort of."
Meredith looks at me suspiciously.
"What are you saying, Mark?"
"Her mother is called Addison Montgomery-Shepherd."
Ha. Now Meredith knows. What do you guys think? Please, send me a review! It makes my world rock! ;-)
