Chapter 6:

Mark and Derek were seated in the gallery of OR 1 to watch as Callie operated on her patient, but neither he nor his friend really watched her. The neurosurgeon raised an eye brow at his best friend. Mark had just told him about this suspicion that Alyssa and Addison were sisters and apparently Derek couldn't believe what he'd just heard.

"Are you sure? I mean it's not like there aren't other people with parents like that..." he said.

"What is it, Derek? Why don't you want to believe that they could be sisters?" Mark asked desperatly. Wasn't it obvious? Alyssa had uncaring parents just as Addison did, both were raised by a nanny, and they looked alike. Why couldn't Derek see that?

"I want to believe that, I really do... but it sounds so unbelievable!" Derek explained.

"I know but it's possible, isn't it?" Mark knew how Derek felt, he himself thought it was unbelievable that Addison had a sister she didn't know about.

"Well... it wouldn't surprise me if Bizzy and the Captain hid her from all the people... and her story, that she was raised by her nanny and she barely ever saw her parents... well just like Addison... so yeah I guess it's very likely."

"And what are we supposed to do now?"

"What do you mean?" Derek was a little confused, wasn't it obvious that first of all they had to treat the girl?

"Well, shouldn't we call Addison again and tell her?" that was the only thing that bothered him at that moment, he needed to tell Addison, tell her her sister is in Seattle and that she has to come.

"Well first of all we should ask Alyssa if she would like to meet her and if she's ready to." Derek stopped his best friend.

"Right... I'll go and ask her." he got up and went towards the door.

"Mark..." his friend started but the plastic surgeon was already gone.

Mark went along the hallways towards Alyssa's room. Wasn't it a miracle that the unknown sister of Addison, who he wanted to have another chance with, was right here in this hospital? That had to mean something, that had to be destiny! Some kind of numinous power wanted him and Addison together, he was certain. A week ago he hadn't believe that he would get another chance with Addison soon, but now it seemed that this chance was within his grasp's. What he didn't think about was that even if Addison came to Seattle she maybe wasn't willing to give them another try.

Meanwhile was Alyssa laying in the hospital bed with closed eyes.

"Alyssa?" the surgeon asked when he entered her room. "Are you asleep?"

"No... I can't sleep...all I can think about is what I'll do if Jake dies..." she opened her eyes and looked at Mark. He knew there would come a time when he had to tell her that her boyfriend was almost dead but right now he couldn't. Derek or someone else could tell her about Jake's condition but not Mark.

"I'm sure he will be fine..." he was a liar, he was just too much a chicken to tell her the truth.

"I hope so... but why are you here? Don't you have patients to worry about?" the girl asked, the sadness still present in her voice and on her face.

"I wanted to ask you something..." he said slowly not knowing how to tell her that he knew her sister.

"What is it? I've already told you about my family..."

"Well... yes you told me about your family and it sounds so familiar to me... You know I've got a friend... she's the gorgeous women I've ever seen, she's kind, lovely and she has this hair..." he lost himself while talking about Addison.

"Yeah, it's okay I know you love her." Alyssa interrupted him.

"What makes you think I do?"

"Well the way you talked about her..." she explained casually.

"Oh... oh okay I see... well anyway, she's wonderful, but her parents don't really see that. They treat her like shit. They always have and most likely always will treat her like that. She was raised by her nanny, just like you've been..." his voice was soft.

"What do you want to tell me? That although my parents didn't care about me I'm able to become a wonderful person?" Alyssa was irritated, why did Mark wanted to tell her that right now? She knew that even if her parents didn't care her life made still sense, she wasn't about to commit suicide.

"No... well kind of... but the main point is... you look so much like she does..." His tongue slipped, giving her enough information to guess what he was trying to say.

Alyssa's eyes widened slightly with the realization. She was able to connect the dots between what he was saying and what he wasn't. The only thing she needed was to hear him confirm it."What... what do you want to say with that? Does this mean she's... she's my sister?"

"Well it could be possible, don't you think? Do you know the names of your siblings?"

"My parents always told me their names weren't my business. But one time I saw my sister, she came to visit our parents with her husband or her boyfriend or some random guy and I asked my nanny who she was. She told me that it was my sister and she told her name was Addison Adrianne Forbes Montgomery. It kinda stuck with me. " she heard the name echoing in her head.

It took Mark's every strength to not jump up in excitement for figuring it all out. He smiled brightly. "That's her!" he exclaimed. "The guy she was with..that's probably Derek. They used to be married but whatever. Who cared about that?! Addison's your sister! I'm fucking brilliant!"

"You have to come to Seattle!" he said as soon as Addison had answered the call. He stood in the hallway still feeling overwhelmed by the fact that he'd been right.

"What? Because of this mysterious girl?" What the hell was he thinking? Did he really think that she had nothing else to do than to fly to Seattle only because he told her so? She did that just two weeks ago, okay she had to admit two weeks ago there had been a coagent reason to come.

"Yes, because of Alyssa!"

"And why should I come? I don't even know her, you should rather call her parents... I'm sure they're worried about her."

"No, they're not, her parents don't give a damn about her..." Addison could tell there was sadness in her former lover's voice, he really care about the girl. It was obvious that he had grown attached to her.

"Oh... I didn't know... that's sad... but why should I come? Because I'd had a miserable childhood too? Sorry Mark, I can't fly over to Seattle because of a girl I don't even know..." she felt sorry for Alyssa, she really did. But she couldn't go to Seattle because of this girl. She couldn't go there and face Mark again, not a week after he had broken her heart...again. She wasn't ready to deal with him and she wasn't willing to rush herself for some stranger.

"She wants to see you..." he was a little desperate Addison had to come not only because Alyssa wanted to get to know her, but also because he wanted to see her again.

"You told her about me? Why?"

"Well, regarding the fact that you two look so much alike and that you two had the same miserable childhood... yeah, somehow Derek and I thought she has to be related to you..."

"And how do you think is that? I swear I have no daughter." somehow she was curious about Mark's second suggestion.

"Addison she's you sister."

"Sister?" she started laughing.

"Yes..."

"Mark how for gods sake could the girl be my sister? She's like what, 25 years younger than me?" he couldn't be serious, how did he think was that possible? Besides, how could she have a sister that she never knew about. She wasn't that distant with her family.

"Addison, you have to believe me, she is you sister. Alyssa told me your name..."

The world around her began spinning and she had to sit down on the couch in her office. How could this girl know her name? She had to admit if Alyssa really looked so much like her, she couldn't deny that she really had a sister she'd never seen before. But how? How could Bizzy and the Captain hide a sister from her? She'd never seen a young girl with hair as red as hers at any family parties... she didn't know what to think. She thought about the girl who had known her name and now wanted to finally meet her... if she didn't fly to Seattle she would definitely disappoint Alyssa and somehow she also wanted to meet her sister even if that meant seeing Mark again.

"Addison?" Mark finally asked when she stayed silent.

"O... Okay, I'll come as soon as I can!" she said.

"Okay... bye." Mark was happy that Addison was willing to come and that Alyssa would get the chance to meet one of the gorgeous women on earth. Alyssa would get her chance and if Mark played his cards right, he might even be able to make things right with her.

"Bye." she hung up.
