Chapter 11

A/N: I'm sorry guys, but my email account got hacked and since it was only used for school stuff I couldn't be bothered to reset everything. I did graduate by now and am now studying to become an English teacher.
Now here's your update, enjoy, I hope some of you are still reading this story.

lola: Well you need to use the term "soon" very loosely, but here it is

Indoor Camping?

"Savvy, you can't leave yet!" Addison hugged her best friend for about the thirtieth time in the last couple of minutes as they were standing at the airport.

"I know and I really would love to stay but I have to go back home." Tears were in both of their eyes. "You have to visit. And bring Derek; he seems to be a great guy."

"I'll visit, Gracie and I will both." Savannah had said goodbye to Grace earlier, before they tugged her in.

"Good." She sniffed. "This is ridiculous, I can't believe I'm crying about leaving you when I can call you in a few hours."
"But it's just not the same." Addison looked at her best friend, sad that she was leaving already.

'This is the last call for flight 720 to JFK airport.' They sighed when they heard the announcement.

"This sucks." Savannah sighed. "And you better have sex with Derek or else I will." She joked, making Addison laugh.

"Bye, I love you!" They hugged again and then Savvy boarded the plane, still waving as she was walking away.

"Now how would you like dinner tonight?" Addison smiled when she turned her head to see Derek standing there. "Well I would love dinner but I can't. I promised Gracie that, since I have tomorrow off, we should really go camping... In the living room..." She chuckled when she saw the look on his face. "Yes, the living room, Derek."

"And why not out in the nature like normal people do it?"

"Not normal people, I dislike camping, a whole lot. So a tent in the living room would work out just fine for me."
"Is Gracie alright with that?" Sometimes Addison just wanted to wipe that smug smile off his face and this was one of those moments.

"It's the closest she can come to camping any time soon because," And now she sighed, "I have no clue where to go camping in this darn city without getting soaked all the time."

"You know, I could help you with that, because I happen to have tomorrow off too... And then there's Friday, Saturday, Sunday..." Derek trailed off, giving her a smile.

"Hmm, you would like to spend your days away from this hospital in a tent with me and my little daughter?" She raised her eyebrows, head tilted to the side. Of course she would love it if he came along but did he really want that?

"I would love that and I wouldn't mind sharing a sleeping bag with you." He had leant in and whispered this in her ear, maybe just for the effect but mostly to be a little closer to her.

"That won't happen, dearest. So, how about you tell my daughter about that? I bet she'll love you even more if you do." A shiver ran down her spine whenever he was close to her and familiar warmth spread through her entire body.

"I will do so." Derek gave her a smile, his arms now around her waist. "So, Dr. Montgomery, where do I find your daughter so I can ask her if I'm invited for your camping trip?"

"Well, Dr. Shepherd, how about we go look for her?" She propositioned, turning in his arms and now standing close to him.

"Are we passing on-call rooms while we're looking?" His eyebrows rose in a suggestive manner, a grin appearing on his face.

"Dream on." Addison laughed and walked ahead, turning her head to see whether he was following her or not, smiling when she saw he was.

"MOMMY!" Gracie's eyes widened when she saw her mother standing in the door frame. "DEREK!" She ran over to him, hugging him before she hugged her mother. "Are you going camping with us?"

"I think that eliminates you asking." Addison chuckled lowly to Derek.

"Well, sweetie, your mom already invited me." He gave her a smile. "So, yes, I would love to come along."

"Awesome!" Gracie looked overly excited. "But I get my own tent, right?" She looked up at her mother, nose scrunched up.

"You want your own tent?" Addison raised her eyebrows at the little girl.

"Yes, I'm already six." She rolled her eyes, looking at Derek again. "It's really cool that you're coming along."

"I think so, too." He smiled at her, kissing the top of her head. "We need to go back to work."

"Okay, bye." Grace waved with a bright smile.

"Bye baby." Addison kissed her daughter quickly before heading out as well.

"You know, getting along with my daughter is a really big plus for you." She gave him a soft smile that made him want to hug her until neither of them could breathe anymore.

"Are there any negative points?" He raised his eyebrows as they walked down the hall.

"No, surprisingly I really haven't found anything yet... I mean you're so adorable, good looking, smart, have a good job, care for my daughter, good kisser, charming and I can be myself around you..." She sighed and smiled at him. "And now I have boosted your ego and I swear I can't breathe anymore because it's taking up all the room and the air." She rolled her eyes at the smug smile on his face.

"You can be yourself around me." He smiled goofily, unable to control himself.

"That's all you got from what I just said?" Addison raised her eyebrows, nonchalantly walking into an on-call room.

"No, but it's the one that really matters." Derek was still smiling and hadn't fully noticed where they were before she pulled him closer by the lab coat.

"Yeah it is." She whispered her lips now on his. "I missed this."

"Me too." He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him. "And just so you know, you're the most beautiful, intelligent and amazing person I have ever met. When I'm with you I feel like I can't breathe, you make me so happy that my heart may explode." Addison's eyes spoke more than any words could have. She looked at him with so much love and tenderness that he couldn't help but pull her closer, hugging her tightly.

"Thank you." She whispered to him, closing her eyes as she breathed in his scent. When they pulled back Addison placed her lips on his in a soft kiss, never wanting to let him go ever again. He ran his fingers through her hair after he had taken out the clip that had held it together while her arms had linked behind his neck. Their kiss remained slow and soft, reduced to tender pecks, intending to show each other how much they cared for one another.

"Mhh, I think we really need to get back to work." Derek said, softly stroking her hair out of her face.

"Yeah..." Her fingers were still running through his wavy hair. "When is your next surgery?" She lay down on a bed, looking up at him suggestively. "Mine is in three hours. So since I'm done with rounds for today..." Derek chuckled, lying down next to her before he pulled her close. "Same here, just that my next surgery is in two hours and..." he glanced at his watch, "forty minutes."

"Good." She rested her head on his chest, fingers tangled in his shirt. Addison closed her eyes and just listened to his heartbeat, feeling herself relax against his body. His nose was buried in her hair while he rubbed her back softly, simply enjoying her company before both of them had to face reality once again. Soon they had drifted off to sleep until her phone woke them.

"Ugh, go away." Addison grumbled, glancing at her phone. She still had over two hours left until her surgery and now her battery was dying. Why would a phone vibrate if the battery was low?

"What's wrong?" He mumbled, opening his eyes to look at her, a smile already starting to appear on his face.

"Battery..." She moved a little closer again, sighing contently. "We have more than two hours though."

"How about we cancel all of our surgeries and stay here for the rest of the day?" Derek suggested, his fingers trailing along her hip, her shirt riding up in the progress.

"I'd really like that." She took his hand in hers; things really shouldn't go any further than them simply laying there. After all there was no lock on this door for some reason. Maybe Richard had gotten so fed up with his staff always screwing around in on-call rooms.
