Hi! This is set at Christmas time and MerDer have started adopting Zola because she is too adorable to be kept way from the show. Daisy is still there, I've just forgot about her. I kept Adele alive with no Alzheimers and she was really pissed off when she found out Richard had a child with Ellis Grey but has since warmed up to Maggie.
Maddison's child Emma who is in LA from my other story is in place of Sloane and raising her son/Maddison's grandchild, Caleb on her own. She's also living with Sam who is FWBs with her and I forgot to mention that MerDer's youngest Maya is renamed to Mackenzie because I forgot that Naomi and Sam's kid is named Maya before I started writing the story.
All the interns are attendings now. (Meredith and Izzie are general surgery, Alex is pediatrics, Cristina is Cardiothoracic, and George? He's trauma). Slexie are not married, they just live together with two kids who are not his. Oh and Addison is still in her 40s because I've got a surprise and she didn't have the abortion before moving to Seattle so Steven was the baby she was pregnant with when she and Kate came in 1.09.
There never was any Addisex because it's more disgusting than Addek ever were and they (Addek) are the worst so I'm just pretending that the reason she moved to LA in the first place is because Maddison had a fight and realized they were not working even though they still kept sleeping together for the next several years. Addison is not barren by the way but she decided she didn't want anymore kids for a long time after Steven was born in 3.12.
Lets get on guys.
Chapter Four - Merry Christmas.
"OK, larger ornaments go on the bottom, smaller on the top, and gold and silver tinsel must never cross." Ellis said as she was decorating the tree.
"Ellis's a little OCD." Mackenzie whispers.
"Obsessed with Christmas details." Ellis told her and turned, "I just want everything to be perfect for when Mom and Dad come home!" she stated cheerfully.
"Back home on the army base, we used to just spray-paint a missile red and green, hang a few grenades on it, and hoo-ah! Merry Christmas!" Daisy exclaims.
"Daisy!" Anthony feigns fear. "Help!" Then he notices something, "Ha!" He laughed. "You're under the mistletoe."
"Ha!" Daisy laughed too. "You're underage!" she stuck a bow on his mouth.
"There you go." Bailey walks in just in time to hear their nanny's reply.
"Oh, goodie. Now I can reach." Mackenzie laughed evilly as she tried to jump onto his shoulders.
"Ow! I'm your brother, not a stepstool!" Bailey whined and tried to pull her off.
"Kenzie, that doesn't go there." Daisy directed.
"Ow! Ow! Ow!" Bailey screams.
"How about if I put it here?" Daisy took the tinsel from the girl.
"I know where you can both put it." Bailey mumbles.
"Bailey!" Daisy scolded him, "Don't make me wash your mouth out with tinsel!" she tells him.
"That wasn't ice skating. That was like being in a meat locker, fighting." Steven laughed as he ate his pancakes.
"It was awesome. You spent more time skating on your face than on your feet." Kate added. "You fell right in front of me! You probably should the beginners' lane." she snickered at her dad's girlfriend.
"There were lanes?" Lexie asked in shock.
"Jackson and I are off to Salem to get a donor heart." Cristina got up to gather her necessary stuff and threw on her coat.
"We shall be home tonight." Jackson informed them and put on his coat before wrapping his arm around her. "Goodbye!" he waved and they left.
"Hey, Brian want to write our lists to Santa?" Kate asked.
"Who is this Santa you speak of?" Brian ate more of his cereal.
"Oh, he's wonderful." Kate gushes wondering how he doesn't remember. "He's old and chubby and he has a cool beard." she grinned and pushed back her red-hair.
"So he is like the janitor?" he thought.
"No, Santa likes his job. He watches every child all the time. He knows when you've been sleeping. He knows when you're awake." Layla joined in.
"A fat man is constantly spying on us?" Brian is now freaked out, "Is it just me, or is that really creepy?"
"No, it's great!" Layla reassured him. "Because if you've been good, he brings you toys!"
"But what if you have been bad?" he asks her.
"Don't be." Steven warned him.
"OK, kids," Addison walked in the kitchen and faced her kids, Steven and Kate. "I've got a lot of stuff to buy, so let's get in and get out at the mall today." she told the two of them. "I know you want to go see Santa, you can go with Ellis and Daisy!" she ordered.
"He is here?" Brian stammered out afraid.
"Son, why do you look so scared?" Lexie finishes drying off her hands.
"Because Layla told me a horrible tale about this fat, judgmental gnome, a corpulent voyeur obsessed with children and their naughtiness!" Brian explained. "This Santa person is not real, is he Mom?"
"Of course Santa is real!" Lexie told him. "And he loves children," she continues.
"For breakfast? Oh, man up, Mowgli!" Brian screamed and ran out of the kitchen just in time for the chief of surgery to walk in.
Richard mumbled something, went over to the bar, and mixed his drink quickly.
"Look!" Ellis excitedly pointed when they were waiting on line at the store, "There's Santa!"
"Hey!" The elf put a hand in front of her. "Nice boys and girls wait their turn. But if you want lap time now with the big guy, you can slip me some cookie dough." she demands.
"Hey, Daisy!" Kate pointed out, "Santa's bouncer is trying to hit us up for a bribe." she crossed her arms.
"Little girl, that's a ho, ho, horrible accusation. Back of the line!" The elf angrily shouted as she glared at the much taller red-headed girl.
"Don't talk to my kids that way!" Daisy moved the girls out of the way.
"Please do not provoke Santa's peevish henchman." Kate whispered.
"Don't worry, Mackenzie. You and Brian will get your turn on Santa's lap." Daisy promised.
"He beckons me like Yama, the god of death who dwells in the fires of naraka!" Brian exclaimed.
"He's gonna lose it when the Easter Bunny comes to town." Mackenzie told her sister.
Addison hurried through the mall doing her last minute Christmas shopping. She doesn't know how time could just escape her the way it did this year. Meredith and Derek's Christmas party is tomorrow and she doesn't have any gifts for it. Usually around this time of the year, she'd be stressing over what to get for her kids but now that they've gotten older shopping for them has gotten much easier. She thought she ought of kick herself over how stressed she was over this.
"Maybe someone would like this jewelry box," she says mostly to herself before she feels someone come up beside her.
She turns around to see her son standing next to her, "Hey Ma."
"Hey, you didn't want to go with the gang to see Santa?" she asks.
He shrugs, "Nah, you know I'm too old for that. Kaitlyn only goes to take selfies with the reindeer."
"Of course," she laughs as she makes her way through the store with her son, "You see anything your dad would like?"
"I don't think he'd shop in this store, Mother," Steven shrugs putting in his headphones.
She sighs, "Maybe we should try somewhere else then."
The pair made their way out of the store and walked through the mall until they came across a place a little more manly. Steven pointed it out and basically dragged Addison into the store. They were looking at sports jerseys when they run into more familiar faces.
"Hey Aunt Addison. Hey Steven," Anthony waves from beside his mother making his way over to the two.
Meredith follows, "Hey guys."
"Hey Meredith, funny running into you guys here," Addison smiles politely.
Meredith just shrugs, "Just looking for some last minute gifts for the party tomorrow."
"It's even funnier because I'm doing the same thing," Addison chuckles.
Anthony interjects, "Well, that's great. Now we can shop together."
"Ugh, we've been waiting in this line for over an hour," Ellis exclaims, "the battery is about to die on my phone."
"Oh, no," Mackenzie rolls her eyes, "What's Princess over here going to do without her phone?"
"Oh, gosh, I don't know," Ellis squeals, "I might turn into those savages."
They turn around to Brian and Bailey wrestling as Kaitlyn rolls her eyes walking over to them to separate them, "Guys, cut it out. Santa might think you guys are fighting for real and you'll only get coal for Christmas."
"Noooooo," the boys cry out.
Kate shakes his head and says to herself, "Boys are so easy."
"God, boys are so hard to shop for," Addison exclaims as they continue their descent through the aisles, "Except for you, Stevie-poo. You were always a Momma's boy. I always knew exactly what you wanted every year."
"Mother, you're embarrassing me," he rolls his eyes walking away.
Anthony calls him over from the other aisle, "Hey, Steven. Come look at this!"
"He's so much like his father," Addison laughs to herself as she watches her son walk away.
Meredith chuckles too, "I say the same thing about Anthony almost everyday. He's so much like Derek… Speaking of, I'm probably just going to get him new fishing equipment and call it quits."
'I'm sure Mark would like a new tool set or something since he's always out in the garage working on that motorcycle,'" Addison thinks to herself as she walks over to the tool sets.
The group finishes up their shopping and make their way out of the store. Addison was about to say their goodbyes when Meredith looks over to them, "Have you guys eaten yet?"
"Yeah," Addison nods but Steven shakes his head.
He looks up to her, "Mother, I'm starving."
"Anthony and I were just about to head to the food court," Meredith offers, "We would love for you guys to tag along."
"Oh, we could probably walk down to that arcade after!" Anthony exclaims.
Addison looks down to her son, "How does that sound to you, kid?"
"That sounds awesome," Steven smiles finally taking out his earphones.
Ellis screams and literally everyone in the line turns around to look at her, "My phone died."
"Here munchkin, shut up," Kaitlyn says throwing something and hitting Ellis in the head.
She picks it up off the ground, "Ow! What's this?"
"A portable charger… Only an idiot would leave the house without one," Kaitlyn rolls her eyes, "You can keep it. Consider it your Christmas present."
"Thanks, Kate!" Ellis squeals plugging her phone into it. She squeals again when it comes back to life.
Mackenzie just shakes her head, "Look what you've done."
"Are we at the front of the line yet?" Brian sighs.
Daisy walks back up to them, "Hey, kids. Okay, I brought us all back ice cream while we wait."
"I don't want ice cream… I want Santa," Bailey pouts.
Daisy tries to console him, "There, there… we're almost to the front of the line now."
"Hey, Kate!" a voice calls out from the crowd and two teens walk up to them.
Kaitlyn grins, "Oh my god, hey guys."
"You're here to see Santa?"
"Oh, no, you know, just being Kind Hearted Kate… helping out the family where I can," she shrugs.
The female teen grins, "You're so awesome, Kate. No wonder you're Homecoming Queen."
"That's because she's smart, cool and hot," he nods, "Triple-threat."
"You got that right," Kate winks.
Anthony pushes his plate across the table, "I'm full."
"You shoved two burgers down your throat in under five minutes, dude. What did you expect?" Steven asks as he laughs about how green Anthony looks, "I think he's going to blow."
"Boys will be boys," Meredith shakes her head down on the other end of the table.
Addison chuckles as she nibbles on a curly fry, "I don't know how I do it. Emma and Kate were so much easier to deal with… Emma was easy and Kate is exactly like me."
"Well, they both got Mark's nose," Meredith corrects.
Addison rolls her eyes, "Luckily that's the only thing they got from him because Steven is his clone… maybe a tad bit more reserved but that's only because I raised him."
"Anthony has a crush on our new babysitter," Meredith smirks, "It's hilarious. You should see how red his little cheeks get when I catch him in the act of hitting on her… He's started calling himself 'Baby McDreamy.'"
"Oh no," Addison couldn't hold back her laughter.
Meredith just laughs too, "Oh, yes."
"Ho, ho, ho, kids," Santa smiles as Mackenzie and Bailey run up almost tackling him.
Brian walks nervously up to him, "Hi, Mr. Santa, sir. You're not going to eat me are you?"
"Just sit down on his lap and take the picture, Brian," Ellis rolls her eyes then holds up her phone, "Okay, selfie time!"
Walking into their new home, Steven and Kate run up to their rooms before her. She grabs the bags out of the truck and makes her way through the door saying mostly to herself, "Thanks for helping me with the bags, kids…"
"Oh, hey, Addison," Arizona walks up with a smile, "you need some help with those?"
"Yeah, thanks," she holds out some bags to her, "My good for nothing kids didn't offer to help."
"Trust me, I know how kids are nowadays," Arizona laughs taking the bags from her, "I can't ever get Alonzo or Andrew to help me. Sometimes Stella won't be in a mood and help out but it's rare."
"Ugh, just wait until they're actual teenagers," Addison says with a roll of her eyes.
Arizona follows her through the house into the living room, "Oh, is this stuff for the Christmas party tomorrow at Derek's?"
"Yeah, you know, some last minute gifts for the White Elephant thing," she shrugs and then her phone rings, "Sorry, excuse me."
She steps out of the room and looking at the caller ID, she sees that it's their daughter, Emma, who lives in L.A. It's not often that Emma willingly calls her mother, so Addison made sure to answer the call. She swiped right to answer the FaceTime call. The Redhead answered to her daughter's call to squealing in the background.
Addison watches as her daughter chases her son around the room, "Sorry, mom! Hold on! Caleb!"
When Emma finally catches the little boy, she flops down in front of the screen with him in her lap, "Say hi to Gigi."
"Hi, Gigi!" little Caleb waves into the screen then kisses it, "Miss you!"
"Oh, I miss you too, little cuddle bug. Gigi promises to come visit soon," she smiles into the camera.
Caleb grabs some toys, "Can I go play now?"
"Sure," Caleb smiles waving to Addison then runs off. Emma turns to her mother laughing, "Hey, mom. I miss you too. How's everything on that end?"
"Things are…"
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Is something wrong with Dad?"
"No, no, your father is fine."
"Kate? Steven?"
"They're fine, Emma."
"So, something's wrong with you? Are you dying? Do you have cancer?"
"Stop panicking," Addison giggles then sighs, "I'm not dying… I'm just… I'm pregnant."
"Okay, that's it," Meredith smiles adding the finishing touches to their house.
It's only an hour before the guests arrive and now everything is ready for the party. The kids did most of the decorating, Meredith just finished what they didn't and the food they had catered has already arrived. The bartender got here ten minutes ago and he's over in the bar setting up. All that Meredith has left to do is shower.
Coming out of the shower, she does her hair and make-up then slips into her black sparkly gown. Derek walks up behind her in his tux and smiles kissing her on her cheek, "You look amazing."
"You don't clean up too bad yourself," she jokes as she struggles to put on her necklace.
Derek offers some help and clamps it on her behind her neck. He leans in for another kiss right as the doorbell rings, "I guess it's time to get started, huh?"
"I got the door," Mackenzie screams from downstairs.
Meredith grins, "Let the party begin."
"Kids, come on! We're late!" Addison calls out from the door of their house, "And I thought I was slow at getting ready…"
Addison finished getting dressed about ten minutes ago… Usually their roles were reversed and the kids would be the ones waiting out in the car so she can't help but smirk at the situation. Steven made his way downstairs first. Dressed in a suit and tie, he was the spitting image of his father. Addison couldn't hold back her smile looking at him.
When he got close enough to her, she straightened up his tie and smoothed out the few wrinkles, "You looked very handsome, sweetie."
"Thanks," he blushes and luckily, Kate comes down the stairs so he doesn't have to say more.
She is staring at herself in her phone and when she gets to the bottom of the stairs she twirls, "How do I look?"
"Stunning," her mother smiles. Kate wore red, like her mother but Kate sported a baby doll dress with cut-outs that barely came down to her knees.
The younger girl grins, "Thanks, mom. You look hot too."
"God, I needed this," Owen says taking back a shot of Scotch as he stares at his wife and Jackson Avery enviously, "Another please."
"Hunt, dude, you're downing those way too fast man," Mark Sloan walks over to him grinning, "Whiskey. Neat."
"Here you go, sir," the bartender hands Mark his drink.
He grins then looks to Owen, "Long day?"
"You don't know the half of it," he says under his breath as Addison walks through the door.
All of Mark's attention has gone to her… it's gone to the way she walked in the room, the way her long curly red hair compliments her floor length, tight, red gown. He turns to the bartender to order Addison a drink, "Apple Martini, please."
"Here you go," she hands him the drink when she finished and he made his way over to his favorite Redhead.
He puts on a charming smile as he hands her her drink, "Apple Martini for you my love."
"I'm… uh… I'm okay," she declines and he looks at her skeptically.
Lexie, noticing Mark over with Addison, makes her way over towards them. Meanwhile, Mark laughs shaking his head, "You never turn down a martini. What's going on, Red?"
"Nothing."
"Oh, it's something."
"Mark, I'm," she starts as the music cuts off, "pregnant."
"What?" Lexie gasps dropping her drink. Everyone in their vicinity heard the news and the whole room stops staring in their direction as Addison blushes.
Uh-oh Addison is pregnant with Mark's baby! Again! I wonder what will happen between them and Lexie in the coming chapters. Next chapter will have Meredith and Derek working on their clinical trial and George will be mad at Izzie, but there will be a flashback why he's mad at her. There will be lots of good stuff planned out for them. Isn't Caleb adorable and Emma sweet?
In case you're wondering TheQueenofPassiveAggressiva helped me with this. She's a huge Addison fan just like me and she's wrote Meredith/Addison fanfictions but we are going to start cowritting a Maddison story based off KW's new show on Netflix, Thirteen Reasons Why(I watched it for seven hours yesterday and I've only got on EP9), so... please keep a lookout for that.
If you have any suggestions for the next chapters, then please tell me and maybe I won't take so long to update as I have some really bad writers block. I'm also open to people PMing me and co-writing.
Please please give me reviews, suggestions, cheers, rants, angry reviews, anything. 20-40 or so reviews and I'll have it up really quickly.
