Author's Note: Hello people! Yes, I'm still alive. It's just been a busy month here in our university that's why I haven't been able to write. But I'm free for about two weeks probably, it's our sembreak already. So I'll try to write as much as possible. And yes, I know I should be updating my 'Find A Way' story but I'm having some problems on it now. Don't worry though Addex fans, I might do some Addex oneshots for a while. But for now, I have this idea about Addek pairing. This won't probably be that long, probably up to 3-5 chapters.
I was reading some fanfics involving Addison about that bomb episode from season 2, and I got this idea where Meredith was holding the bomb, and Derek was operating in the nearby OR. Not different from the story? Well, I have a twist here. What if Addison went upstairs after Bailey's delivery? What if Addison was the one in the hallway where the bomb blew up? That's all I have to say, you can go on and read now. Oh, and I don't remember much the details from the episode, so some parts are just made up. :)
[Disclaimer: I do not own anything here. If I did, Addison might probably still be in Seattle.]
It felt like hours, days even, since Addison left Derek in the scrub room, preparing himself for the operation of Bailey's husband; hours since she realized that the operating room he's in was just near the operating room where a certain intern has her hand in a bomb, a bomb that could blow them up to pieces. Since Richard mentioned the whereabouts of her husband, she hasn't been able to take off her mind with the possibility that her husband could die, that she'll be a widow that had a husband who hated her guts for being an adulterer.
'Geez, Addison he had the rights to be mad at you,' thought Addison.
Addison was brought to back to her senses when she heard Bailey cursing at the very nervous intern George O'Malley which made her enter the room.
"Miranda, you have to calm down. What are you doing? Sit down!" ordered the redhead attending.
"I am not going to sit down here, because I will be going home. I will not have this baby right now, when I'm in labor I'd like to have my husband behind me, holding my hand while having a death grip on it," gritted Bailey.
"You are not going home, Miranda! You will be having this baby right now or else something might happen to the baby!" argued Addison.
"No, I want my husband in there when I have this baby!" shouted Bailey.
"Dr. Bailey, you should really listen to Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd. You don't want to happen anything to your baby, right?" asked meekly by George.
"I can't do this alone, I can't do this without my husband," cried Miranda.
"You can, and you will Miranda," said Addison softly.
"Dr. Montgomery-Shepherd is right, and you're not alone Dr. Bailey, we're here, we'll take care of you and your baby," said George.
Looking at Addison and George, Miranda trusted them and decided to have the baby. Addison called some nurses to get some medical instruments while George sat behind Miranda and helped her sit up. After for almost an hour and a half, Addison finished delivering Miranda's baby boy.
"Here's your baby boy," smiled Addison, handing the baby to Miranda.
Miranda smiled at the boy in her arms and then proudly announced the name of the newborn, "William George Bailey Jones".
Addison and George smiled at the sight and left quietly to have Miranda's privacy and moment with her newborn baby. As Addison closed the door her smile left her face when she saw members of the bomb squad coming in and out of the building, rushing to the stairs and elevator. She immediately went near Richard to get an update.
"What's happening now?" asked Addison, not wanting to show how nervous she is.
"Oh, how's Bailey?" asked Richard when he noticed Addison on his side.
"She's fine, baby boy's healthy. Now back to my question, what's happening?" said Addison.
"That's great. Has she decided on a name, yet?" replied Richard, without looking at the woman he treated as his own daughter.
"Richard! You can ask Miranda yourself that later. But now, I need to know what the hell is happening?" demanded Addison.
"They're ready to remove the bomb but they're going to have to move it somewhere where this hospital wouldn't be blown up to pieces," sighed Richard.
"What do you mean move it somewhere? Wouldn't that be more dangerous?" asked Addison.
"If they're going to be extra careful, they'll be fine," replied the Chief, and was shocked to see his wife walking in their direction.
"Adele, what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here, it's dangerous," said Richard.
"Extra careful? Richard, that is a bomb that could blow up the people in this hospital, hell that could even blow up the hospital! That is not some silly prank, or a simple cold that could just go away, that is a bomb!" yelled Addison.
"Addie, calm down!" shouted Richard.
"Calm down? Calm down? I can't believe you, I just, argh!" yelled the frustrated Addison.
"Honey, why don't we sit down there," interrupted Adele, trying to calm down the redhead.
"They know how to do their job, Addison," said Richard, looking sternly at her.
"Yeah, and I know how to do my job! But I still have family of patients screaming at me that I killed their wife or daughter!" argued Addison, walking away.
"Addison—," started the chief but was cut off by his wife.
"Richard, let her be, I'll talk to her. And you should understand more, after all her husband is in the OR next to the bomb," said Adele then followed Addison.
Richard looked at Addison and saw how torn she was; he just hoped that Derek finishes on his surgery right away so that his wife can see him alive. Addison sat down in the waiting area and felt someone sitting beside her.
"I'm sure Derek will be out in any minute, you don't have to worry about him. He won't put himself in danger, not until you are around," comforted Adele.
"Actually, you're wrong about that Adele, he will put himself in danger just to be close to the woman he's in love with who is in real danger. I mean Meredith is the one holding the bomb and he's in the OR near her, just so he can be close. It's cliché you know, if the bomb blows up they'll be near each other, it's like 'til death do them part," scoffed Addison, wiping away the tears.
"Oh, sweetheart, that's not true. You and Derek may have some problems but I'm sure he has forgiven you,"
"Then why haven't he said it yet? Why haven't he looked at me straight in the eye since I got here, or why haven't he faced in my side of the bed even though he knows I'm not even looking at his side?" cried Addison, resting her head in her hands.
Adele squeezed Addison's hand trying to comfort her.
"I'll be back, okay. I'll get us some coffee, just hang in there, honey," comforted Adele then stood up and went to the cafeteria.
Addison was trying to block out everything around her and she almost succeeded when she suddenly heard someone talk about the bomb situation. She turned around and saw that it's a member of the bomb squad.
"We have to be very careful in moving the table and she has to be in sync with it because one movement can cause this building to be destructed. If we move her to the operating room without the gas line, at least it'll cause less damage, but there's this doctor operating on a guy there. If he doesn't move fast, he might be caught from the blast,"
When Addison heard that, she broke down into sobs once again and having a hard time breathing. Luckily Adele came back or else she'll be having a full-blown panic attack. Adele was rubbing the redhead's back, trying to calm her down. When Addison did, she gave her the coffee but her hand remained at Addison's back.
"I, uh, have to go to the ladies room, I'll be back," said Addison.
Adele was about to stand up when Addison stopped her, saying that she'll be fine and just needed some time alone.
'Oh, Derek, I beg you don't leave your wife alone. She loves you too much and I'm scared what she might do if you die,' thought Adele.
As Addison turned the corner, she saw some bomb squad members coming out of the elevator and saw that they looked relieved. She approached one guy and asked him what the situation upstairs is.
"Don't worry, Ma'am, the bomb was removed from the body already. Our squad leader is about to take the bomb far away from gas lines. But we still have to be careful, especially that the doctor in the nearby OR is still there,"
"Thank you," said Addison, her mind stuck on the last part of the statement.
The three bomb squad members went on their way to tell the chief of the hospital about the news. As they disappeared from her sight, Addison ran upstairs to where Derek was operating. She doesn't care if she's acting reckless and might die, she just wants to see her husband, the love of her life, her everything. As she was running upstairs, what she doesn't know was that Derek finished the surgery a few minutes after the bomb was pulled out from the body. Derek and Preston got out of the elevator and they saw the people waiting for them in the lobby. They went straight to the chief who looked relieved, suddenly Derek looked around.
"Wh- where is she?" asked Derek, frustratingly looking around.
Then all of them all looked at the elevator when they heard the 'ding'. They all saw Meredith, Izzie and Cristina got out. Meredith looking visibly shaken but doesn't have any wounds though. Suddenly Richard remembered Derek's question so he looked back at Adele, silently asking where Addison is; and when Adele was about answer him they were surprised by a sudden blast.
Meanwhile...
Dylan was walking very slowly with the bomb in his hands as Addison just got out of the OR where Derek operated. When she saw he wasn't there, she sighed in relief and realized he probably finished his surgery. She was about to turn the corner and when she looked up she saw the bomb squad leader no more than 10 feet away from her. Everything around her seemed to stop; she stood there frozen looking at the guy. Dylan looked up when he felt a presence near him and saw the redhead in front of him and was shocked for he thought that the area was evacuated already.
As he was about to talk to the obviously frozen doctor, a sudden gust of wind came which shifted the bomb. Addison didn't know what happened, she thought she was flying and felt pain on her head, her back, on her whole body. She was trying her very best to not close her eyes but the pain was just too much for her to take. The last thing she remembered before passing out was Derek leaving her in New York, telling her that they're not 'Addison-and-Derek' anymore.
"You're..free...no-now..." whispered Addison, as she slipped into unconsciousness.
