A/N: Just a short little fic based on the last scene of 4x16.

Kamikaze airplanes in the sky
Are we going down or will we fly?
This could be a shipwreck on the shore
Or we could sail away forevermore
This time it's sink or swim, sink or swim

"Hey" Sam said quietly as he walked up to Addison on her deck, Amelia stood and headed back into the house, Addison took a sip of her wine and sniffled.

"Hey" she replied quietly, they remained quiet, Addison barely looking at him as she drank some more wine "Do you want some?" she asked.

"No, no I'm good" Sam said shaking his head a little, he moved closer and sat down where Amelia had been sitting, they fell back into the awkward silence.

"I messed up" Sam said quietly "I messed up, and I'm sorry"

"I know" Addison nodded in reply.

"It was just a stupid, stupid moment" he sighed "And I can't even, I can't believe I could do that to you, I didn't think I'd ever, ever be that stupid"

"I didn't think you'd ever be that stupid either" Addison said with a sad laugh.

"Can you forgive me?" he asked hopefully, his hand coming to rest on hers on top of the table.

"Promise me it was just a kiss" she whispered.

"I promise" he said squeezing her hand.

"Promise me, promise me you don't have feelings for her….promise me you weren't, promise me you weren't jealous of Fife" she brought her hand up to her cheek and wiped some tears away "Because the look on your face Sam, when he, when he asked her to go with him, you looked jealous"

"I wasn't jealous" he said softly "I just think he's an ass, and even though, even though Naomi has behaved, unacceptably towards you, towards both of us, I do care about her, I don't have feelings for her but I do care about her, and I just, think Fife is an ass" he sighed.

"She's right though" Addison started, tears springing to her eyes again "Her relationship with you will always trump mine, I'll never, we'll never have what the two of you had"

"Yes we will" Sam said pulling his chair closer and kissing her forehead as she avoided his eyes, his hands coming to her arms softly "I love you Addison, the past, the past doesn't matter anymore, my relationship with Naomi will never trump my relationship with you, that is my past, she is my past, you are my future, it's you I want to spend the rest of my life with, please don't listen to her Addie, please, me and you won't have what me and her did, we'll have more, I love you, I love you, please believe me"

"I do" she whispered, burying her face in his neck as they moved closer together "I do believe you"

"I know I broke a promise, and I know, I know maybe you don't trust me right now, but I'll, I'll work so hard to show you how much I love you" he whispered "So you can trust me again"

"I just want it all to go away" she whimpered "All of the bad stuff, my mother and, today, I want to go back Sam" she sobbed.

"I know" he said using his strength to move her chair and pull her onto his lap, her legs draped over the side of his chair as her head rested on his shoulder, his arms held her tightly against him "Everything is going to be ok, I promise" he said as he kissed her hair "I'll be better, I'll be there"

"Don't leave me alone again" she sniffled "Even if, even if I push you away again, don't leave me alone, I can't, I can't do it alone"

"I'm right here, you won't be alone"

"I'm so tired" she whispered.

"Let's go to bed baby" he said stroking her hair "You need some sleep" Addison nodded slightly and untangled herself from Sam's lap, they left the wine and glasses on the table and headed straight upstairs, they silently changed into pyjamas and climbed into bed, Sam spooning Addison's body, their hands linked, Sam couldn't sleep until he felt Addison's body soften into slumber.

The End.
