Disclaimer: I don't own it.

Thanks for the reviews! Sorry it's taking so long between each new chapter. I'm trying to write a little every day. I think I have a few chapters left and then I'm ending it, but don't worry, I want to continue the story. I'm going to write it as a sequel so I can jump ahead in time some. I'd love to hear some opinions on that, I could keep going here forever if everyone's opposed to the short jump in time.

Addison walked into work the morning after accepting Derek's proposal. Everyone she passed was congratulating here. She smiled widely and thanked them, but was shocked at how fast news travels around this hospital. Izzie found her.

"You don't look too good." Addison stated when she saw Izzie.

"Can I ask for a favor?" Izzie said.

"Of course." Addison replied.

"Somewhere private?" Izzie asked. Addison motioned to an empty exam room and Izzie followed her in.

"What's up?"

"I think I'm pregnant."

"Okay. Did you take a test?" Addison asked her confused about why Izzie needed her to do that.

"No, but I have a missed period, some nausea. I haven't thrown up as much as last time." Izzie's eyes opened wide. She gasped.) "I didn't mean to say that."

"Last time?" Addison asked. Izzie didn't answer. "You're going to have to tell your OB."

"I haven't told anyone."

"I'm not involved in the gossip chain." Addison reassured her that she wouldn't be telling anyone.

"I know. You're always the subject of the gossip." Izzie said smiling.

"Funny." Addison replied. "Why do you need me?"

"I've been having a lot of pain." Izzie told her.

"Are you in pain right now?" Addison asked.

"No."

"Let's start with a pregnancy test then."

Derek found Addison at lunch.

"I haven't seen you all morning." Derek said to her just before kissing her. "My fiancée." Addison smiled. "You're quiet."

"I've been busy this morning." She responded.

"We have a wedding to plan." He said.

"We do."

"I'll call my mom and sisters later for their input."

"We really don't need the big fancy wedding this time. We've been there, done that." Addison said.

"What do you want to do? Just go to the courthouse?" He asked surprised.

"That works." She said. Derek looked shocked. The Addison he knew liked things like this big and fancy. "But really I was thinking we could go away for the weekend to a beach somewhere and get married with our feet in the water at sunset. Something romantic but small. Your mom and sisters can come, our kids, maybe Mark."

"I think that sounds very romantic." He replied smiling.

That afternoon…..Izzie came into Addison's office.

"It's official. You're pregnant." Addison announced to her.

"I don't know what I'm going to do." Izzie said sitting down in the chair across from Addison.

"As unexpected as some pregnancies are, the majority of men are very happy to find out they are going to be fathers." Addison said from personal experience.

"That's not how this is going to go." Izzie dreaded telling the father.

"Izzie. Just tell Karev. I bet he surprises you."

"How do you know?"

"Just because I don't participate in the gossip chain doesn't mean I don't hear it." Addison said.

"Yes, Alex is my boyfriend, but we haven't had sex." Izzie explained.

"Izzie!" Addison exclaimed surprised that Izzie was with two guys at the same time.

"How am I going to tell Alex?"

"Who's the father?" Addison asked wanting the juicy gossip.

"I thought you don't participate in gossip." Izzie said making fun of her.

"I'm not going to tell anyone, but I want to know." Addison informed her.

"This baby is the result of a very drunken one night stand." She said not looking at Addison.

"Oh Izzie…"

That night….Izzie and Alex were out at dinner. The atmosphere was very tense. Neither one of them had said much all night.

"Iz, I have to tell you something." Alex said to her putting down his fork.

"Me too." Izzie replied.

"Do you want to go first?" Alex asked.

"No, you." She said as she finished chewing.

"I'm just going to come out and say it. I'm moving back to Iowa." He announced.

"What?" Izzie said shocked. Apparently her plan of him raising the baby with her like it's his own wasn't going to work out.

"My mom isn't do so well, she needs me. I got a job in a teaching hospital in Des Moines. It's not as good as Seattle Grace, but family first." He explained to her.

"Yeah." Izzie responded upset.

"I didn't mean to do it to you now." He tried to make her feel better.

"I know." She said sadly.

"We can stay together. I promise I'll come back and visit often if we're together." He really liked her and didn't want to lose her.

"I don't know if that's the best idea. Long distance relationships very rarely work. It won't work for us."

"We can make it work."

"Maybe we can try later, just not right now." She offered.

"If that's what you want." He said, also sad to be losing her.

"Yeah." They were quiet for a minute. "I think I'm going to go." Izzie said as she stood up.

"Iz. We don't have to end it now." Alex said trying to stop her.

"We can't keep going if we are going to break up when you leave." She explained.

"We can finish dinner as friends." Alex offered.

"I need to leave." She announced putting on her jacket.

"Wait. Didn't you have something you wanted to tell me?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter anymore." Izzie said as she left. She got into the car and burst into tears. She just found out she was pregnant and now she's alone. She started driving and ended up at Addison and Derek's house. She knew it was kind of late to go to them because they have kids, but she needed Addison. Addison was the only one who knew. She knocked on the door hoping that whoever had the lights on downstairs would hear her. The foyer light switched on and Derek opened the door.

"Hello." Derek said greeting her.

"Can I please see Addison?" Izzie asked.

"Come in." She followed him inside. He noticed how upset she looked. Her eyes were all red and puffy. "Are you okay?"

"I'm just upset." Izzie told him wiping a tear out of her eye.

"Addie will be down in a few minutes. She's just laying Grace down. You can sit on the couch. Do you want something to drink?" Derek offered.

"No thanks." She replied sitting down. A minute later Addison walked down the stairs and saw Izzie sitting on the couch.

"What happened to your date?" Addison asked gently. Izzie began to cry again.

"Alex is leaving. He's moving away." Izzie said between tears.

"Did he break up with you?" Addison asked.

"No. I left him. I left him because his family needs him and I'm mad he won't be here for me and the baby that isn't his. What kind of person is mad at someone for helping their family?" Izzie started crying more. "What am I going to do? I can't do this alone."

"Izzie. It's going to be okay. You have tons of people here who love you and will help you with the baby. You can do it. You are so good with Grace. You're going to be an amazing mother." Addison attempted to calm her down. Izzie cried for a few minutes in silence.

"I'm going to have to tell the father." Izzie said at the end of her tears.

"That's probably not a bad idea." Addison told her. Izzie nodded. "It can't make things worse. Maybe you wont be doing this alone."

"You're right. Either he'll be in this with me or I'll be in the same place I am now." Izzie seemed satisfied with that plan. "But what if he doesn't want this kid? I don't want to be rejected." She started changing her mind.

"Izzie, just tell Mark." Addison said before Izzie could say anything else.

"How did you know?" Izzie looked at her surprised.

"You told me a few weeks ago you had a one night stand with him. I put the pieces together." Addison explained.

"You are such a gossip." Izzie said smiling.

"Take that back!"

I hope you liked an Izzie-centric chapter. I have plans for Kaitlyn and Lily for the next one!
