Sorry it's been a long time since I updated. I've been really busy. I'll try to update again before the weekend is over. I hope you like it!

Richard found Derek again in the hallway. He had already told him to go home once.

"Go home Shep." Richard said to him.

"I'm fine." Derek tried to argue.

"You're not fine. I'm not having sick doctors wandering around my hospital. Go home." Richard told him once again. Derek opened his mouth to talk but Richard interrupted him. "Don't argue with me."

"But…" Derek tried but was interrupted again.

"Addison." Richard called her over.

"Why did you do that?" Derek asked knowing he lost the battle once she was involved.

"What's up?" Addison said as she walked over.

"Make Derek go home." Richard begged her to help.

"You don't look good." Addison said to Derek concerned.

"Addison." Derek whined. She touched his forehead.

"You're burning up. Go home and take a nap. And try to not get too close to my baby." She warned him.

"Fine. I'm only going because you two won't leave me alone if I stay." Derek said as he gave in and went home.

Later….Addison came home. It was close to the little girls' bedtime. She walked into the living room where Derek was sitting in the armchair.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" She asked as she walked closer to him.

"Eh." Derek didn't have much to say back. Addison walked up behind him.

"You're not going to tell me anything?" She asked as she put a hand on his forehead. He leaned his head back so he could see her.

"You have to figure it out yourself." He smiled.

"You're very warm." Addison offered. He grabbed her hands.

"Come sit with me." Derek led her around to the front of the chair.

"It's not really big enough for two." Addison said as she was pulled onto his lap.

"Like this it is." Derek was smiling but Addison rolled her eyes at him. "I missed you all afternoon. I didn't get any kisses as I walked down the hallway." Addison held his face and leaned in and kissed him. "That's more like it." Derek responded.

"Calm down cowboy. I don't want your germs." She warned. He stuck out his lip. "Let me see your throat." He opened wide and she looked in. "I can't believe I just kissed you." Addison said grossed out by what she saw. He laughed.

"Why?" Derek asked.

"Aren't in pain?"

"Maybe."

"You have strep throat for sure." Addison told him.

"Well, I guess it's good thing that the love of my life is a doctor." As he was saying that Kaitlyn came down the stairs carrying Grace who wasn't happy.

"I believe if my dad came in right now he would tell you two to get a room." Kaitlyn said when she saw them together on the chair.

"Probably." Derek said laughing.

"She probably needs to eat. Can you hold her for a minute while I call a pharmacy?" Addison asked.

"Okay." Kaitlyn said, sitting down on the couch. Addison came back after a minute, took Grace, and began feeding her.

"I still have a lot of laundry to do tonight, don't I?" Addison said sounding exhausted.

"We do need uniforms. I can do it though." Kaitlyn offered.

"You've done enough."

"So I know it's a school night and that I'm still kind of on probation, but my homework is done, and it's only 8 o'clock, and Lily is in bed. Can Will please come over for like an hour?"

"Yes, you've definitely earned that. He needs to leave around 10."

"Thank you!" Kaitlyn said excited. She ran upstairs to call him.

"I'm really starting to feel sick." Derek informed Addison.

"You're starting to admit you feel sick." Addison corrected.

"Maybe."

"Yes. You're worse than the kids."

"I can stay home with Grace tomorrow." He offered.

"You certainly will be staying home, but you will not be taking care of the baby tomorrow." Addison responded to him.

"But…"

"No buts. You need to rest and get better and you need to not get her sick." Addison put the baby on her shoulder and began burping her.

The doorbell rang and Kaitlyn came running through, she came back followed by Will.

"Good evening." Will greeted them.

"Hey. Did you catch the game last night?" Derek asked. Will sat down in the chair next to him.

"Yeah. Did you see the awesome play?" Will replied.

"He's sick. Don't get too close." Addison warned Will.

"Let's go downstairs. You're here to see me, not Derek. We have less than two hours to watch a movie now." Kaitlyn basically ordered Will to go downstairs with her so he did.

Next morning….Addison came into work dressed in jeans and a sweater, carrying Grace.

"Woah, Dr. Montgomery, I don't think I've ever seen you so dressed down." Alex said as Addison walked in.

"I went home last night, took care of my sick husband, got the kids ready for bed, went to CVS, did laundry, then went to bed. After sleeping for less than seven hours I started it all over again." Addison said sounding exhausted.

"What's with the kid?" Alex asked.

"Derek's sick, babysitter cancelled. Who's off today?"

"Izzie."

"Get her on the phone please." Addison ordered.

Izzie came to the hospital and found Addison and Grace.

"Hi Gracie. You look so cute today." Izzie greeted Grace and Grace giggled.

"Thanks for watching her." Addison said, handing over the baby and the diaper bag.

"It's not a problem." Izzie bounced the baby up and down making her laugh. "We're going to have lots of fun."

"You can watch her wherever. There's a carseat in my office. You can probably even leave her with Derek this afternoon if he really ends up sleeping all morning."

"Okay. We'll go over there in a while and check on him. Say goodbye to mommy." Addison kissed the baby and Izzie left with Grace.

Later…Izzie carried Grace into Addison and Derek's house. Derek was sitting on the couch.

"There's my baby." He said excited with his arms out for Grace. Izzie let him take her.

"How are you feeling?" Izzie asked.

"Much better. I'm fine to have the baby really. Don't listen to Addison." He reassured her.

"Is everything all set for tonight?" Izzie asked him.

"I can't convince Addison to come." He replied.

"But it's a surprise party for her."

"She says she's exhausted. She's not getting off until 7:30. And she wants to see her baby when she gets off."

"Do you want me to try?" Izzie offered.

"No. I'll get here there. I don't want to ruin the surprise."

"I think she's ready for a nap."

"I can handle that. You can enjoy the rest of your day off. When did she eat last?"

"She had a bottle about 3 hours ago." Izzie informed him.

"Let's go make a bottle and lay in bed for a nap. What do you think little girl?" Derek asked Grace who just cooed in response. "Thanks Izzie."

"You're welcome. I'll see you tonight."

Derek called Addison at work.

"Hey. How are you feeling?" Addison asked as she answered the phone.

"Much better. Will you please meet me at the rooftop of La Pasana at 8?"

"Derek I already told you I really just want to go home after work."

"Please. Just one drink. I already have a babysitter and a reservation."

"Fine. Just one drink."

That evening. Addison was feeling really annoyed with Derek. She was pretty much the last one from the day shift that was left at work. She did not want to go out. Reluctantly she changed and headed over to the restaurant. She stepped out of the elevator at the restaurant onto the roof and was surprised. There were thousands of light candles all around the rooftop that looked out onto the Seattle skyline. Derek stood in front of her surrounded by all of their friends.

"Derek, what is this?" She asked him completely surprised and confused.

"From the moment I laid eyes on you I knew that you were the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. You are a beautiful, amazing woman and I am so lucky to have you. You have made me a better person and a father. I know we've had some rough times in our relationship, but I will fight to the end of time for you. With all of our friends as witnesses, I promise to love you and be true to you forever." Derek got down on one knee. "Addison Forbes Montgomery, will you marry me again?"

"Yes." She said crying. He stood up and kissed her. Everyone around them cheered.
