A few months went by without much drama. Kaitlyn quickly learned that the more she obeyed the rules the more freedom she was given. Will spent a lot of time with Kaitlyn and her family. She only just been allowed to go on one date without supervision. Derek and Mark determined that they didn't want to kill this boy, they liked doing boy things with him, like playing sports. All of their girls were very girly. Grace learned to smile and roll over. She was more fun to play with.

The alarm went off. It was the first time in a very long time Addison had to actually wake up to an alarm other than her daughter. Derek turned it off and rolled on his side, facing Addison.

"Are you ready to come back to work with me?" Derek asked Addison.

"I don't know if I can leave her." Addison replied sad that her days would no longer be filled with playing with Grace.

She'll be fine. You aren't working a full day today. You'll be home at the end of a school day and you can have her back." Derek tried to reassure her. He knew that she was very excited to be practicing medicine again.

"It's going to be so hard." They heard Grace over the baby monitor.

"She has good timing. Want me to get her so you can nurse her before you leave?" Derek offered.

"Yeah." He came back with Grace in his arms. Addison took her. "Good morning baby."

"I'll go wake the girls up for school." Derek woke Lily who got right out of bed like always. He went into Kaitlyn's room and waited until she actually got out of bed before leaving. If he didn't she would fall back asleep. He noticed that she didn't look too good that morning. "Do you feel okay?" He felt her forehead. She moved his hand away.

"I'm fine. I'm just tired." She told him.

"Okay. Get ready. Don't fall back asleep." Derek took a quick shower and then took Grace downstairs while Addison got ready. Lily came down and sat at the kitchen table. "What would you like for breakfast?"

"Umm. I don't know."

"You can have cereal, eggs, toast, fruit." He told Lily what her options were.

"Cheerios with a banana."

"Coming right up."Lily played with Grace while Derek fixed her breakfast. The doorbell rang. Derek went to answer it, knowing that it was the nanny. "Good morning."

"Hello. How's mommy doing?" Mary asked.

"She doesn't want to leave." Derek replied.

"They never do." Derek showed her to the kitchen.

"Hi! Are you here to play with me?" Lily was excited to see Mary back again.

"No. You have school today. I'm going to watch Grace and maybe when you get home from school we can play." Mary explained to Lily. Addison came in.

"Good morning." Mary greeted her

"Hello." Addison replied as she picked up Grace and held her. "What's for breakfast?"

"Cheerios and bananas."

"Yumm."

"Want a bite?" Lily asked as she held up a spoonful. Addison ate it.

"Thank you."

"Would you like a bowl?" Derek offered.

"No thanks. I think I'm just going to eat the banana. Did anyone start making lunches?" Addison asked as she opened the refrigerator.

"No."

"We're a little behind schedule today." Addison started making the girls lunches. Kaitlyn came in.

"Are you sure you feel okay?" Derek asked Kaitlyn as he felt her forehead again.

"I'm not sick." Kaitlyn tried to convince him.

"Feel her." Derek said to Addison. Addison turned around and put a hand on Kaitlyn's neck and a hand on her forehead.

"You feel warm. Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm just tired." Kaitlyn told them one last time.

"Well, call if you feel sick at school."

"What are you going to eat for breakfast?" Derek asked Kaitlyn.

"I'm not really hungry."

"I want you to eat something. A piece of toast or fruit?" He was convinced she was sick.

"I'll eat a piece of toast." Kaitlyn gave in.

Ten minutes later…

"We're going to be late." Derek announced.

"I'm ready." Lily said standing right next to him. Kaitlyn came into the foyer with coat and backpack on. Mary took the baby from Addison. She gave Grace one last kiss and they left.

Addison stopped as she and Derek walked into the hospital.

"I can't do it." She told him.

"Yes you can. Grace is going to be fine. You have a short day today so you can be with the kids pretty much right after school. You'll have a great day." He tried to convince her to go to work with him. She followed. As they walked down the hallway everyone welcomed her back to work.

Later Addison stood with Izzie writing in charts. Mark walked past.

"I had fun last night. We should do it again." Mark said as he winked at Izzie and walked away.

"Oh my god." Izzie said looking a little guilty.

"What was that?" Addison asked.

"I was really drunk last night. Really, really drunk. It's all coming back."

"Izzie. What did you do?"

"I may have had sex with Mark." Izzie told her afraid that Addison was going to be mad.

"Izzie."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry." Izzie apologized. She was really enjoying working with Addison and didn't want one night to ruin it.

"I wasn't saying Izzie because of me. Don't get wrapped up in being his one night stands. I'm not saying don't be with him. If you like him, try to have a relationship. Just be careful with him. You know what happened to me." Addison warned.

"I don't like him."

"Obviously you do or wouldn't have done that last night, even if you were drunk." Addison pointed out.

Addison came in the house around six. She could hear the baby crying. She found all of the girls in the playroom. Kaitlyn was laying on the couch. Lily was sitting on the floor playing a game with Will, who was also holding Grace.

"What's going on here?" Addison asked, taking the crying baby. Kaitlyn sat up.

"I'm sorry. I came home and I felt awful. When you weren't home by 4:30 I knew you were going to be a while still. I didn't know who else to call who would come over to take care of all of us. I know I broke the rules. You can punish me. I just could not take care of them." Kaitlyn gave Addison a whole speech.

"It's fine. You're not going to be punished. Really. I'd rather you ask for help than get them sick too or something bad happen because you can't take care of them." Addison reassured her in a calm voice.

"I had so much fun with Will!" Lily was very excited.

"You did? Well, maybe Will can finish that game with you while I feed the baby." Addison hinted that she needed some more time.

"That's cool. I'm about to win anyway." Will said.

"No you're not!" Lily replied as they continued their game.

Next morning…Addison went into Kaitlyn's room right before she was leaving. She sat on Kaitlyn's bed and gently woke her up. Kaitlyn looked at the clock.

"I'm going to be late for school!" Kaitlyn said jumping up.

"Lay back down. You're not going to school." Addison told her.

"I'm fine. I feel so much better." Kaitlyn argued.

"You had a fever last night. You aren't going to school today." Addison said as she took Kaitlyn's temperature. "You don't have a fever anymore, but I want you to rest today. Mary is downstairs with Grace if you need anything. You can also call me." Kaitlyn reluctantly laid her head back on her pillow.

Addison ran into Derek at work. They kissed.

"How are the girls this morning?" He asked.

"Pretty good. I made Kaitlyn stay home, but she says she feels better and her fever broke." She reported about their morning.

"That's good. I'm late. See you later." He gave her another quick kiss and ran off.

Izzie and Addison were walking down the hallway.

"Have you seen any more of Mark?" Addison asked her.

"About that. Can you not say anything to anyone? I'm hoping to keep it a secret." Izzie begged her.

"I'm just teasing you. And keeping it a secret is almost impossible in this hospital."

"I really need to keep it a secret."

"I'm not going to go tell anyone. I'm not part of the gossip chain here." Addison reassured her.

"Thank you." Izzie paused but then decided to share more information. "I'm kind of in a relationship." Addison looked up from her work and took off her glass.

"With who?" Addison asked excited she was getting the gossip.

"We're not telling right now."

"Izzie! You can't do that to me. I get no details?"

"No details. Sorry!" Izzie was happy to have someone to tell. She couldn't tell her friends. They definitely could not keep it a secret.

Later that evening… Addison and Derek ran into each other again.

"I haven't seen you all day." Addison said as they started walking together.

"I'm ready to go home and hold my baby." Derek replied.

"Me too. I'm ready for a quiet, relaxing night at home with you. I missed you all day." She said.

"That sounds perfect."

At the same time, Meredith, Izzie, and Cristina were in the locker room changing. Izzie changed into a hot pink dress.

"Where are you going tonight Barbie?" Cristina questioned as she clearly judged the choice of outfit.

"I have a date." Izzie informed them smiling widely.

"With who?" Meredith asked excited to know about her friend's life.

"I don't think I'm telling you yet." Izzie replied.

"Why not? What do we care who you're dating?" Cristina responded but was now more intrigued to know.

"I just…Just wait. You'll know eventually." Izzie finished putting on lip gloss.

"Have fun. Don't stay out too late." Meredith said happy that Izzie was getting a night out.

"How do I look?" Izzie asked spinning around.

"Gorgeous." Meredith complimented her.

"Pink." Cristina said with an attitude.

"Cristina." Meredith scolded her for not being supportive.

"What? It's true." Cristina said not thinking she said anything wrong. Alex walked in.

"Ready, Iz?" He asked with his arm out. Meredith and Cristina looked shocked.

"You're going on a date with Evil spawn?"

"I'm coming." Izzie replied shutting her locker. She walked to the door. "See you at home, Meredith."

"I hope he doesn't hurt her again." Meredith said as she watched Izzie leave with Alex.

Sorry it's been a few days since I updated and it's not the best chapter. It might be a few more days before I can get another chapter done. The next one will be very good!
