I don`t own anything but the triplets

The days went by and Addison had most of the time some visitors.

Now it was New Years Eve and Addison discussed with Charlotte if she could already go home. She felt good and she`d still have enough help at home with Dereks mom and his sisters. She would get all the rest she needed after the surgery.

"Addison what would you tell your patient after such a surgery?" Charlotte asked. She thought it was too early for Addison to go home. She almost died.

"Probably the same you tell me. But I know better than the most woman what I can do and what I can`t do. Look Charlotte I have help at home. Dereks there my mother-in-law is there and two of my sisters-in-law are there as well. If you want me to, I can come tomorrow for a check­-up" she suggested.

"Fine. But Addison if anything happens you`ll come back immideately" she ordered her. She was a little concerned about Addison. She just had a hugh surgery and 3 babies.

"Thank you so much Charlotte. So when do I have to come for the check-up?" the new-made mother asked.

"Tomorrow at noon. I`m not earlier in the praxis. Just for a few check-ups" she explained.

"Okay. I`ll be there. Then I`ll call Derek. Thanks again Charlotte. It really means a lot too me to spend today with my family" Addison explained.

"I totally understand you Addison. I really do" she replied and gave her a smile telling her to understand the way she feels.

About two hours Addison and the babies were ready to go home.

"No Addison, you won`t carrie one of the carseats" Derek ordered.

"Do you want to carrie all 3 of them?"

"No but that`s why I left one of the seats in the car. You`re going to carrie Sam as he`s awake and I take the other two. Your bag is already in the car" he explained his plan.

"Ohh okay" she said and picked up Sam.

As they went threw the hospital their collegues looked curious towards them.

No one beside Addisons doctors were allowed in her room and she was glad she could have this privacy.

"Addison, you`re already leaving?" Izzie asked her disbeliving. She was allowed in Addisons room. She was the intern at her case and after Addison found out that she took care for Carson for a while she asked her to visit her.

"Yeah, I could convince Dr. Carter to let me go home. I just have to come for a check-up tomorrow" she answerd smiling at her new friend.

"If you need help with those 3 you can always call if you want to. I know Dereks home for a while but he can`t stay home forever, can he?"

"Thanks Izzie, I really appreaciate it"

"No problem. You should probably follow your husband or he`ll leave without you" she told the older woman.

"Yeah. Bye Izzie and thanks for everything"

"So you two are friends now?" Derek asked her in the car.

"I guess you can say that" she replied smiling happy about having at least one friend beside Callie and Miranda.

"But she`s friends with Meredith. Don`t you think she might just be spying or something like that?" he suggested.

"No first, Izzie isn`t a person like that and second she told me Meredith wished I would die during surgery and told her that she couldn`t be friends with her anymore. And I`m more than happy about that"

"Why haven`t you told me about what Meredith said? I can`t belive it. How can she even think about something, not just you, about anyone?" he asked not beliving he once was in love with a woman like that.

"Because I don`t care about what Meredith is saying or doing. I was shocked I admit that but I decided not to think about it anymore" she annswerd him honestly.

"This is just horrible. I just can`t belive it"

"Please can we stop talking about it? I really want it to spend a beautiful day with you, the babies and the others. Please?" Addie begged.

"All right. I`m won`t talk to you about it anymore, but if you want to talk about it please tell me"

"Promise" she smiled towards him.

"I miss the snow Derek. Christmas and New Years Eve without snow just isn`t the same" looking dissappointed out of the window seeing just rain, rain and more rain.

"Next year we`ll have snow. On our wedding has to be lots of snow. And if it doesn`t snow I`ll get artificial snow just for you. I promise"

"Yeah. But I hope it`ll be real snow" she smiled towards him and send him a kiss.

"So do you have anything in mind what you want to do tonight?"

"No just staying at home with you and the little ones. If mom and the others want to join us I`d be happy. But that`s up to them. I`m happy as long as I´m with my own family"

"All right. I`m going to cook something for us and you realex a little. Any wishes for dinner?"

"What about we`re having raclette or morsel? So everyone could come and eat" she suggested.

"Great idea mommy. Like always" they just drove into their driveway and Addison couldn`t belive what she saw. It looked like a welcome home party. There were ballons and garlands and most important all of the Shepherd sisters including their husbands and children.

"Oh my god. You guys are so cute" Addison said as she left the car and greeted Amy and Lauren first.

"Congradiolations you two. I wanna meet my new nieces and nephew" Lauren said and went to the car.

"Hey Bob, hi Max how are you guys?" Addison asked as she greeted first Laurens and then Amys husband.

"We`re great how are you? This is much more important" Bob replied.

"I`m better than ever" she told them smiling.

"Aunt Addie, can I see the babies?" Leah asked. She is Laurens youngest daughter. She`s just 4 years old.

"Of course, why don`t you just go to your mommy. The babies are still in the car" she told her niece.

After a while they all left to go to their hotel so Addison and Derek could spend a little alone time with their little ones. They decided to come around 7 pm so they could all have dinner together. After that they would drive into the city to watch the fireworks.

"I think we should show them their nursery, don`t you think?" Derek asked Addison who was sitting on the couch with Summer in the arms.

"Sure. Summer is very tiered and could take her first nap in her crib" she replied and stood up. Derek took Carson and Sam and they went upstairs.

"Oh Derek, you`re to good to be true"

He bought the letters of the babies names and made their names onto the cribs.

"I walked into a babyshop and thought it would be nice" he told her with a smile.

"You know how happy you make me right? We should have children back befor all the crab in New York happened"

"You didn`t want children back then" Addison reminded him. "And they weren`t planned either"

"I know but they were never unwanted. They were unexpected but not unwanted" he responesed.

"Right. I never was this happy befor as well" Addie said and placed Summer in her crib. She immideately closed her eyes and drifted into the dreamworld. Then she took Carson from Derek and snuggled with her befor she placed her in her crib as well.

"I think they like their cribs, don`t you think?"

"Yeah, I think they like it here. I hope they`ll sleep as much as they do by now the next weeks during night or we won`t get any sleep" she said hopefully.

"Yeah. It`s great that they are up all the same time. I think it`s going to be like that for a while" he replied watching Sam sleeping in his arms.

"He likes being with you. He`s going to be a daddys boy"

"Maybe. But the girls are already mommys little girls. Especially Carson" he replied.

"Yeah you`re right" she watched her two girls sleep. Watching every movement they make. It fascinated her that less than a week ago all three were still inside of her. Somehow she thought is was scary but she missed it being so close to her children.

Somehow she thought they were much safer back then than they are now.

"Are you okay?" he asked noticing her changed face expression. She looked pale.

"I don`t know. I`m scare Derek. What if anything`ll happen to them?" she asked scared. He could see the fear in her eyes.

"Nothing will happen to them. We`ll protect them"

"Maybe we can`t protect them"

"We`ll do everything to protect them. I promise. Where comes your fear from so suddanly?"

"I don`t know. I have this fear ever since day were born Derek. They were just safer while they were in my womb. I miss having them that close. It felt just as they were much safer than they are now"

"Ohh honey, we`ll protect them. I promise" Derek now placed Sam in his crib and pulled Addison in his arms so she would feel safe.

He could feel her tears falling onto his shirt and slowly moved his hand up and down her back. After a while he felt her realex a little and led her to the rocking chair where he sat down and pulled her onto his lap. She curled up in a fetal position and just let Derek hold her.

Two hours later, it was 6 o`clock and Sam and Carson were both awake and hungry. And soon Summer would be up as well.

"I`ll take Sam" Addison said. She tried to took turns with breastfeeding. She wanted all her kids to get the same attention.

"Okay, then I`ll take Carson and prepare a bottle for Summer as well" Derek replied and began feeding Summer.

Sam often fell asleep while Addison breastfeeded him. Never when he got a bottle but always when he was breastfeeded. Addie always had to wake him so he could finish.

"He`s asleep. Again. I hate waking him Derek" she said but carefully stroke his head so he would wake up again. And he did and started sucking immideately. He never was finished when he fall asleep.

Right then Summer started crying. Derek walked over to her with Carsons still in his arms. She was finished just needed to burp.

As Summer faced Derek her crys became louder.

"Adds? What shell I do? Carson hasn`t burped yet" Derek asked a little desperate.

"Well Sam is finished. I can take her" Carson always needed longer than the her siblings to burp.

"Hey baby. Everything is okay Summer" Addison picked her up and stroke the babies back. She took the bottle and started feeding her.

"She is like you Addison. She`s going to be good in screaming at her husband" Derek teased her.

"I hope they`ll be good in screaming at her husbands if it`s neccesary" she replied not bothering that Derek wanted to tease her.
