Apologies for the lack of updates, but work, social life and lack of creativity for this fic have kept me from doing anything. Hopefully, I'm back into the swing of things now. I have ideas for the next few chapters, so don't worry. Hopefully it won't take forever for me to update it again. Also, sorry this is so short!

I'm hoping that you're actually still reading it to be honest.

Anyway, still owning nothing. I invested in Season 1 of Private Practice on DVD the other day. Along with Can't Buy Me Love. Just to see Patrick in his younger years. Anyway, all the characters belong to Shonda, the legend that she is.

Review, please.

The camp fire was lit, and if Addison was sitting any closer to it, she would actually be on top of it. She thought it looked amazing, especially with the view of the lake in front of them, but letting Derek know that was a whole different story. It wasn't going to happen, she was going to stick to being her stubborn self, at least until she got something to drink down her and Derek had promised her wine. Which was what he was looking for in their things, and by the sound of things, he wasn't having much luck with it. Letting out a soft sigh, Addison pulled her knees up to her chest and let her chin rest on it as she looked out to the lake.

She was completely lost in her own little world, she hardly noticed Derek sitting behind her, his legs either side of her and the bottle of wine and glasses beside them. "Hey." She whispered as she leant back against him.

"You alright?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around Addison's waist, holding her against himself.

"I'm fine." She replied as she closed her eyes for a few seconds. "Derek? Why didn't you ever take me camping back in New York?"

"You wanting to come more often now, and regretting not going sooner?" He teased as he kissed the back of her head softly.

"No, I was just wondering, that was all. You never took me, we always went to fancy hotels, or to places which never seemed to interest you. We never went camping." She felt bad, sitting there with him, she felt bad. She had known all along that this was what Derek enjoyed and she had never given it a chance, she had always been set on going somewhere like their little hotel in Vermont for a few nights away. Never camping.

"Because you never liked the idea. I always knew you wanted to go to places that actually had a warm bed, a fireplace, a kitchen, a bathroom with a shower that had room for two. Not a camping trip."

"We have a fireplace here, which is also a kitchen. The bed, you promised to keep me warm and as for the shower, there's this beautiful lake down there with room for two." Addison said with a smile as she looked up at her husband. Maybe that whole not letting him know just how she felt thing wasn't going to work, it was impossible to deny just how beautiful it was, and she had Derek there with her. His arms wrapped tightly around her, she was happy.

"You like camping." He said simply in response to what she had said, a grin on his lips.

"I like being with you, spending time with you away from everything that's been going on. You like camping, so by proxy, I have to like camping." She stated with a smile still on her face, leaning up to kiss Derek softly on the lips. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, the camping, not the kissing her husband. That part was always good. Next time he suggested it, she wouldn't be so quick to say no.

"You like camping." Derek repeated himself, his lips lightly against Addison's. Whether she still liked it in the morning, Derek didn't care, as long as they got the rest of the day like this, it was all that mattered.

"I may like camping, but I don't like you right at this moment." Addison said softly, as she moved so that she was facing him a little more. It wasn't the comfiest of positions, but it meant she could look at her husband a lot easier than she could before.

"You like camping, but you love me."

The red head couldn't help but roll her eyes, her husband was right, she did love him and she was glad to have him back, the man she fell in love with back in med school. "Shut up." Was all she replied with before pressing her lips firmly against his, but she felt him pull away only seconds later, giving him a confused look as he stood up and walked towards the tent. "Derek?" She questioned, pulling her legs to her chest once again.

"Just be patient, Addie." Derek said as he opened the tent and grabbed the two blankets he had packed before walking back over to Addison. Laying one of them down, on the ground, Derek placed the other beside it and held out his hand towards Addison as he sat down. "Come here." He said when she took his hand and he pulled her closer to himself.

"Derek." She began to complain, but she couldn't, he looked so good sitting there, an innocent look on his face. Moving closer, Addison straddled his lap as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her upper body firmly against his. As creepy as having sex outside was, she also found it kind of romantic, the thought of making love to her husband underneath the moonlight. "This been your plan all along? Get me naked outdoors?" She asked with a grin on her lips as she held onto him tightly.

"I never said anything about you getting naked, but if you want, I won't say no." Derek responded with a smirk as he looked at his wife, holding her close. "I'll make sure you're warm, Addie."

Addison didn't say anything, she just responded with leaning in and pressing her lips firmly against Derek's. Even though it wasn't exactly Addison's ideal place to be this way with Derek, it felt right. They were completely alone and enjoying one another's company, it wasn't as though someone was suddenly going to turn up and catch them. There was more chance of that happening at the trailer than there was where they were. Addison suddenly pulled away from Derek, her eyes looking into his. "Derek? There's nothing out here that's likely to, you know..."

"Attack us?" Derek interrupted with a smile on his face as he looked at Addison. "No, there's not. Just me and you. Who has far too many clothes on." As he spoke, Derek laid down, pulling Addison on top of him as he began to caress her body gently.

"So do you." She mumbled as her lips caught his again, pressing herself against the bulge in her husbands pants to tease him a little. This man could arouse her with the smallest of touches, and just feeling the bulge in his pants had managed it. There was still their underwear and their pants stopping anything from happening, but Addison could feel herself getting moist already.

Derek's hands cupped Addison's ass as he pressed himself up against her, letting her feel himself in his pants before rolling over so that Addison was underneath him. He wanted to make sure she was really enjoying herself, and Derek knew exactly how to do that. Derek felt Addison's legs wrap around his waist, holding him against her and he broke away from the kiss, a grin on his face. "Patience, Addie." Derek muttered as he grabbed her legs and moved them from around his waist.

The look in her husband's eyes told Addison that this wasn't going to be some quick thing, the two of them being intimate with one another before going to sleep. Derek had that glint in his eye, one which he had whenever he wanted to please Addison, make sure she didn't hold back anything. It had been a while since she'd seen this side of her husband, but maybe she had him back now. No, she definitely had him back. She had the man she had fallen in love with back, finally.

Derek had been stupid, it was simple. To let Addison go in the first place, he loved this woman, he really did. It had hurt to walk in on what he had, but Derek deserved it, he had pushed Addison into Mark's arms, and he deserved it. Now though, none of that mattered, he had her back, they had each other back. Addison was in the middle of no where with him and for the first time in a while, Derek wanted Addison to know just how much he loved her. He was going to show her, he was going to take his time in pleasing Addison.

"Derek," Addison whispered softly looking up at her husband, she wanted him so much, but she'd be content with just laying there in his arms looking up at the stars through the trees. She knew Derek had other ideas though, and she wasn't going to stop him.

"Yeah?" Derek mumbled as he placed small kisses along her neck, a smile on his face.

"I love you." Addison sighed, her eyes closing slightly at the feelings of her husbands lips against her.

"I love you too." Derek replied as he looked up at Addison, a smile on his face. She looked absolutely beautiful, she really did. Why Derek had ever made the mistake of letting her slip away from him, he had no idea, but it wasn't ever going to happen again. They were going to grow old together, hopefully way before that, they'd have a child. Even if it was just the one, Derek hoped that it would happen.

Derek held himself where he was for a bit longer, just looking down at Addison, and he was actually surprised she didn't say anything about him stopping, but the steady breathing that was coming from her caused Derek to roll his eyes. "You fell asleep." He whispered simply as he laid down beside her, pulling the other blanket over the two of them as he wrapped his arm tightly around her waist. "Goodnight, Addison." He leant in and placed a soft kiss on her cheek. As much as he'd wanted to have sex with her right where they were, the look on her face as she slept peacefully beside him, that was more than enough to bring a smile to his face and make him feel content. He had his Addison back.
