She turned to her mother as she grasped her hand, squeezing it twice before giving her a nod. Her red locks were perfectly styled whilst clad in a black Gucci fur coat and Manolo Blahnik heels. To everyone else, she looked perfect, like she had her whole life together, but her eyes told a different story. She was every bit just as nervous as she was. Unsure whether or not this was a good idea but knowing that it had to happen at some point. We can do this, her gaze seemed to say. Her mother squeezed her hand one more time and they fell into step together as they made their way into the walls of Seattle Grace Hospital.

𝙰𝚖𝚊𝚛𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚎 (𝚊𝚍𝚓.) 𝚄𝚗𝚍𝚢𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝙴𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚕𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐. 𝚄𝚗𝚏𝚊𝚍𝚒𝚗𝚐. When world-class cardiothoracic surgeon Y/N Cavanaugh heads to Seattle, she wasn't looking for love-just a quieter life and to help her sister from her brother in law's very public infidelity. Instead, she found Dr. Addison Forbes Montgomery. What began as an impulsive decision to start a family together turned into twin chaos, unspoken dynamics, and a legendary romance no one saw coming. From dating to sniper attacks at weddings, emotionally compromised babysitters, and international strawberry cravings, their life was never ordinary-and neither was their love. ❤️🔥

Stitches of Life
"I don't get it." He shook his head at me, his frustration clear in his eyes. "Why can't you just let yourself be happy, for once?" "What makes you think I'm not happy?" I crossed my arms over my chest, my eyes narrowing into slits as I met his gaze, refusing to back down. "Maybe the fact that you're always fighting with me?!" He gestured between us, as if this moment were all the proof he needed. "You really don't get it." I scoffed. "Don't worry when I fight with you, worry when I stop because that means there's nothing left for us to fight for." *~*~*~* Bethany Watley has never had a easy life, but she has never let it stop her from fighting for what she wants.

long story short with the montgomery-shepherds
DISCLAIMER: I wrote this a decent chunk of time ago which means that the grammar, punctuation and overall writing is lacking in this story. It's not totally horrendous but just know that this is no longer my writing style and I have since become more fluent and educated. Some chapters might have been better written than others because I have since edited some of them. Mackenzie Blayke Forbes-Montgomery-Shepherd is the daughter of Addison and Derek. She is five and very bright. This story follows this little girl as she handles being thrown into unfortunate situations. A collection of 3-6 chapter stories revolving around this family. Addek is not in a relationship. Derek is with Meredith. Addison has not met Jake. Lots of angst, hurt/comfort and you might end up hating me because Mackenzie goes through a lot of very booboo things but for sure some good fluff too. A little bit of a spot the Taylor Swift reference game by the way so comment if you find them! - I DO NOT OWN GREY'S ANATOMY OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS FROM THE SHOW AND ALL I OWN ARE THE CHARACTERS I MAKE UP AND THE STORYLINES I CREATE.Complete
