Chapter 9

A/N: Soooo, I was gonna update today regardless of the number of reviews since Easter is coming up and I'm slightly bored. But thank you for reviewing. And I couldn't come up with a better title (really, I have tried).

Mumuu: I want a kid like Gracie! Some day that is :-p I think I should keep the ten review thing up, it's kinda fun…

DeneuveYSL: I'm glad (:

Addeklover: Someone awesome did, at least I like her…

Haley: Alright, I'll prepare the sex, but they will make love because Derek is quite corny and it'll be so sweet that it'll make you all sick (:

Smurfy: I'm very glad that you still enjoy it! I'm currently on like chapter 20, so I hope you still like it then.

Monique: First of all, this may be the longest review so a pack of gummy bears will be on its way! Andddd to the reviews, I used to update like every two weeks or once a month or even less than that. This way I at least know when to post an update.

Deslil: well it would be rather senseless to tell you who is visiting ^^since it's in the first line I think lol. Thanks (:

J0k3: I HATE those people who always have to make out in front of everyone! We have benches in the halls here and they are laying on top of one another and make out! So sick… Anyway, I'm really glad you enjoy them being interrupted, there will be a little more of that.

Mia: You'll like the person who's visiting her, at least I do hope so! And they will have sex… But I won't give away when^^

Ceu Mesquita: YAY, you like it (: like I said they'll have sex… someday

Carly: I'm glad you reviewed (well, that you like the story actually and that you've been reading ever since the first chapter. Thank you (: )

Unexpected Visitors

"SAVVY!" Addison squealed rather loudly when she saw a blonde woman who was standing in the living room.

"Well took you long enough." The other woman smiled nonetheless, hugging Addison tightly. "How are you?" She stopped, looking at Derek, her eyebrows raised. "And who is that?" Addison rolled her eyes and looked at the floor.

"Hi, I'm Derek Shepherd." He introduced himself, shaking her hand.

"Hi, Savannah Sorento. But who are you to Addison?" Her eyebrows were still raised, slightly amused. She had come here to check on her best friend, thinking she was about ready to start drinking an unusual amount and talk but apparently she had already moved on?

"I..." Addison looked at Derek, her eyes wide; unsure of what she could say right now. She loved Savvy and usually told her everything but she couldn't help but feel a little bad about already being in a relationship again. Did she just call this a relationship?

"I'm her colleague, Dr. Derek Shepherd... Neurosurgery..." Derek jumped in for her, giving Savannah a smile.

"That's nice, you work at Seattle Gr-" She started but then was interrupted by Addison, "Actually we're dating... At least I think... And..." She sighed, closing her eyes again briefly before she looked over at Derek who looked a little confused, after all she hadn't seemed like she had been ready to talk about them yet.

"I knew that." Savannah smiled. "I'm really happy that you're better, Addie." And with that she hugged her again. "You are my best friend after all."

"Aunt Savvy!" Gracie ran towards her 'aunt' and hugged her tightly.

"Well, well, if this isn't the amazing Grace Elizabeth Montgomery." Savannah knelt on the floor in front of Gracie, hugging her again. "I missed you, honey."

"I missed you too. Where's uncle Weiss?"

"Oh, he stayed home; one of us does have to work." She saw the pout on the little girl's face. "But he told me to tell you that he loves you very much and we will both come and visit some time soon."

"YAY!"
"Honey, how about you and I go finish that book?" Richard asked her, he thought Addison probably wanted to talk to her friend. Gracie nodded and walked upstairs with him.

"I should go." Derek gave Addison a smile.

"Oh, no, you are definitely staying; after all, you're dating my best friend!"

"All the more reason for me to leave." He chuckled, kissing Addison's cheek. "I'll see you on Monday?" She nodded, giving him a smile. "Bye." Derek walked out of the door after saying good bye to Savannah as well.

"Well, he certainly is good looking."

"Savvy..." Addison sighed. "That's not what this is about at all."

"I know, I know, I was just saying. So, really, how are you?" She sat down, looking at her friend, still slightly worried. It hadn't even been a year ever since she had left New York as fast as she could in order to forget everything that had happened.

"I'm... I'm good actually. I mean things have gotten easier and work is great, even though I still need to find a house or maybe start looking this weekend."

"I meant how you are with everything?" Savannah tilted her head to the side.

"I don't know. It just all happened so quickly... the night I met Derek I was at a bar to forget why I came to the city of never ending rain and yeah..."

"So you slept with him that night?"

"No!" Addison gave her friend a look, Savvy was just unbelievable. "I kissed him and it turned out that he was working at the exact same hospital I was now. Of course I only found out after I kissed him and waking up next to him, not remembering what had happened between us. But then... I don't know, I really like him. He makes me happy. Is that weird?"

"No, Addie." Savannah took her hand in hers. "It's healthy that you're moving on. This doesn't mean that you have forgotten about Chris, it just means that you're trying to get your life back. He wouldn't have wanted to see you unhappy and alone. He told you that didn't he?"

"Yeah." Addison hated thinking back of the day her husband had told her to find someone else, even if it had seemed so absurd back then she was glad he had done that. "It just doesn't feel like enough time has passed for me to be moving on."

"How long has it been since you've had sex?"

"Savvy! That has nothing to do with anything!" Addison shot her friend a pissy look, what did her sex life have to do with anything now?

"How long?" Savannah questioned again, this time more sternly than before.

"Over a year, I haven't kept track..."

"So not even with Derek?" She raised her eyebrows, seriously?

"Not yet..." Addison said quietly, she knew they had been close upstairs but she couldn't see herself sleeping with him, at least not yet.

"So you don't ever... Double click your mouse?" Savvy chuckled, that was a nice allegory.
"Sav!"

"Addie, I know that you have only ever had sex with Chris but come on!"

"No... I just..." She sighed, resting her head in her hands, elbows on the table. "I'm not ready to do that just yet..."

"It's like ripping off a band aid; you just need to get it over with."

"That's a really sad picture you're painting here."

"Not all of us think that sex has to be magical." Savvy mocked a grin on her face.

"Neither do I but it shouldn't be like pulling off a band aid, quick and painful is not what I'm looking for in bed." Addison laughed along with her friend.

"I'm so glad you have your sense of humor back."

"You're here for something, aren't you?"

"Yeah, my visit has ulterior motives, other than ask about your sex life. I'm pregnant and I would like my best friend to do the first sonogram."

"Oh my god! I cannot believe you didn't tell me earlier!" Addison jumped up and hugged Savvy. "I'm so happy for you and Weiss!"

'Derek Shepherd?' She smiled when she heard his voice, lying down on her bed to get comfortable.

"Addison Montgomery." She closed her eyes when her mind drifted back to what they had done earlier on that exact same bed.

'Hey.' Derek was happy she had called, he had already missed her. 'How are you?'

"I'm good. Look, about Savvy, she has been my best friend since college." She didn't know why she was explaining this.

'She seemed really nice. A little floopy but very nice.' Addison chuckled at his remark, thinking about how right he was.

"So, how are you?" She rested her head against the headboard.

'I'm good. It didn't rain today but I do think my backyard isn't zebra appropriate, I think you should tell Grace that. And I don't know if they have heaters that big.'

"I will be sure to tell her." She laughed softly, he was so, so, so cute.

'Good.' Derek sat down on a chair close to the window so he could look outside.

"Do you miss me?" Addison's voice had dropped low and he noticed it too.

'More than you know.' He was more than willing to play along with what she had in mind, even though he wasn't so sure where this was going.

"Hmm and what do you miss?" She started playing with the tie on her robe.

'I'm sorry, I'm so terrible at this.' He laughed, slightly embarrassed, was she really just trying to have... No, that was not possible.

"Don't worry." Addison had to laugh as well. She paused for a moment before sighing. "Derek, do you think I need to have sex?"

'What?' He was taken aback; did she really ask him that?

"Well, Savvy said that I do and I was just wondering whether she was right or not. I mean she does have a point... I think."

'Addie... I don't think so. At least not yet. You need to be sure that you want to. But don't just do it just to do it.'

"I know... It just feels..." She sighed, not sure how to exactly put this. "When I'm with you, it feels so..." He was slightly afraid of what was coming now. "...so right." Derek was relieved that she had said this and not something more negative. "And I mean..." Again she sighed; this wasn't the easiest conversation she had ever had. "I know that we will have sex at some point but right now it doesn't feel like we should already be... you know." Derek had to chuckle at her attempts to form sentences when it came to this topic. "Oh shut up!" She laughed.

'So, what was that about we will have sex at some point, huh?' She could tell he had been rather amused about her rambling before.

"Don't say huh, I always tell Gracie that-"

'That people who say huh would never graduate high school, let alone university.'

"Hmm, you've heard." Addison smiled to herself, thinking she had successfully avoided the topic she had brought up earlier.

'Of course I have. What if I don't want to have sex with you?' Of course both of them knew that he was not serious.

"You can't resist me." She shrugged her shoulders.

'Oh please! I could totally resist you.'

"Like you did earlier, Derek? Yeah, you did a great job at resisting me." Addison teased with a soft laugh.

'Fine, maybe I can't resist you.' He admitted with a smile on his face. "I really like you, Addie."

"That's good, because I really like you too." She smiled to herself; never would she have thought she would be this happy again.

"Hi Derek!" Savannah walked through the door and into Addison's room, sitting down on the bed.

"How would you know?" Addison looked at her friend, raising her eyebrows.

"Who else would you be talking to?"

"Derek, I have to go." She rolled her eyes.

'Alright, I'll call you later?'

"Yeah, bye." They hung up. "You know, this is private."

"Oh come on, it's not like you were having phone sex."

"You should really respect other people's privacy and stop getting on me for not having had sex in a while."

"So you don't miss it?" She tilted her head to the side, not able to imagine that someone could go that long without sex.

"I don't know... You know, I'm not like you, I need to have someone I really care about in order to sleep with them." Addison joked, and then turned serious. "If you don't have someone anymore then you really don't miss it... just being so close to Derek makes it a little harder." She looked at Savvy, rolling her eyes. "Fine, a lot harder..."

"Why don't you sleep with him then?"

"I don't know, I really want to wait because we're already rushing things and you know, it doesn't even feel like we are rushing things but we have to be because..." Addison stopped. "I hate that you can always make me talk about everything and anything."

"Oh please, you know you totally love that about me."

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!
