Derek comes home from work to find his wife of just over a year on the floor of the bathroom. He asks, "Stomach bug?"
Addison nods, "I think so."
Derek sits on the floor next to her and cleans her hair from vomit and rubs her back. He asks, "Do you want me to get you anything?"
Addison shakes her head, "No just stay here with me."
Derek nods and rubs her back, "Did you call out to work today or you off."
Addison replies, "I am off. I hopefully will be better tomorrow if not. I will deal with it."
Derek nods, "Okay. Do you want crackers and ginger ale or coke."
Addison replies, "Ginger ale and crackers. Coke made me sicker."
Derek waits a few minutes and goes down to the kitchen to get crackers and ginger ale and returns to find Addison in bed.
Addison smiles, "Thanks Hun."
Derek nods, "Not a problem." He kisses her forehead.
Addison smiles, "If you get sick. I don't want you saying I got you sick."
Derek laughs, "Okay. I won't I think I am immune to it."
Addison laughs, "Okay, I am going to go to sleep for a bit"
Derek kisses her again and goes to sleep with Addison in his arms. He wakes up to Addison back in the bathroom. He gets up and sits on the floor with her and holding her hair and rubbing her back.
The next morning Addison wakes up and eats some crackers and drinks a glass of water and goes to work. She makes it threw most of her shift when some smell sends her running to the bathroom.
Naomi sees her friend dart to the bathroom. She follows her, "Addison are you okay?"
Addison replies, "I have a stomach bug. I thought I was better."
Naomi laughs, "Okay...I'll be right back." She runs to get a pregnancy test from the clinic downstairs and a blood kit and something for her friend's nausea.
Addison sees Naomi's shoes, "What took you so long?"
Naomi replies, "I got you an ant-nausea and a pregnancy test and if it is positive I am going to draw blood to do another test to confirm."
Addison nods and takes the pregnancy test, "Okay. Now we wait 5 minutes"
Naomi smiles, "How are you going to tell Derek?"
Addison shrugs, "I just will tell him the next time I see him. It's not ideal but we can handle a baby and our careers."
Naomi nods, "Its possible its tough though. Maya is 6 months old and its tough."
Addison agrees, "I know but there will never be a perfect time to have a baby."
Naomi nods, "Very true."
Addison's pager goes off, "I have to go. I'll find you to do a blood test later. Page me 111 for positive and 000 for not. Thanks again Na." She runs down to the ER.
Naomi nods, she watches the test for another minute and there is a plus sign. She quickly pages Addison and then pockets the test so Addison can show Derek.
Sam catches her in the hall way sees the pregnancy test and starts to flip out, "We are pregnant again! I thought..."
Naomi puts her hand over his mouth, "I am not and I am on the pill. Its someone else's"
Sam nods, "Oh okay. I love our daughter but it's too much right now to have another kid."
Naomi nods, "I agree."
Sam asks, "Are you going to tell me whose test it is?"
Naomi glares, "just one of my friends. We haven't done a blood test yet."
Sam nods, "ok! See you at home!" He walks off.
Addison catches up to Naomi, "hey can we do the blood test now. I ll pick up the results."
Naomi nods, "Sam knows one of my friends is pregnant."
Addison sighs, "as long as he doesn't tell Derek we're good."
Naomi agrees, "He wont. I don't think he suspects it you. He probably thinks its Katrina."
Addison smiles, "good." She follows Naomi in to an exam room so she can draw blood.
Naomi tells Addison, "do you want it under your name?"
Addison nods, "yes. I'll pick it up after my shift"
Naomi nods, "remember to page me our codes"
Addison nods and gives her friend a hug, "I will after I tell Derek"
Naomi nods and hands her the pregnancy test from earlier, "to show Derek."
Addison laughs, "thanks."
Four hours later, Addison picked up her test results. She decides not to open them until she gets home. She wanted to do it in front of her husband. She enters the house to find Derek and Mark on the couch watching the Rangers play. Derek yells, "Hi Hun, how was work?'
Addison yells back, "Good, Can I see you in the kitchen for a second."
Derek gets up and grabs the empty beer bottles and goes into the kitchen. He gives her a kiss and asks, "What's up? Do I need to get rid of Mark?"
Addison takes the pregnancy test out of her pocket, "I thought I was feeling better until this smell made me sick again. Naomi made me take this test." She hands his the positive pregnancy test. She then tells him, "Then we did a blood test. I haven't opened the results yet. I was hoping you would. I know we didn't plan this. Naomi and Sam have shown us it will all work out."
Derek smiles, "We may be pregnant." He takes the envelope from Addison and opens it up. He takes a deep breath as he reads the results. He scoops Addison up in excitement, "We are pregnant."
Mark comes running in from the den, "What's all the noise and why is Addison throwing up?"
Derek laughs, "We are pregnant. 6 weeks. She is in the morning sickness phase and picking her up and spinning wasn't a good idea."
Addison nods, "Yes, I am going up stairs. Your baby and I need to rest. I have to tell the chief tomorrow only because now I have to worry about what I and the baby are exposed to."
Derek nods and kisses her forehead, "Okay." Addison walks up stairs and Derek gives Mark a very excited hug, "I am so excited."
Mark laughs, "Tell me that when you are up at 3am with a sick baby."
Derek laughs, "Not going to happen. I think I need to start looking for a townhouse. We can defiantly bring him or her home to this apartment but we are going to out grow it by the time he or she is 1."
Mark smiles, "You have some time."
Derek laughs, "You realize this baby is going to be a clone of Addie at least in personality."
Mark nods, "Probably. So this baby was conceived around thanksgiving."
Derek laughs, "Yes in my childhood room probably."
Mark pats him on the back, "Good job."
Derek smiles, "I should probably go check on my wife. I'll see you tomorrow."
Mark nods, "Okay. Congrats! I am really excited for you and Addie." He gives Derek another hug and walks home.
Derek goes up stairs and lifts up her shirt, she asks, "what are you doing?"
He smiles, "talking to the baby and telling him or her to not make you so sick."
Addison smiles, "do you really think we are ready for him or her?"
Derek nods, "Yes. There will never be a perfect time to have a baby. He or she is meant to be." He gives her a kiss.
Addison agrees, "True. We have to wait another 6 weeks before we can do an ultrasound. Oh do you want you sister to be our OB."
Derek replies, "Sure. I like her."
Addison smiles, "We will see if I can get an appointment with her in 2 weeks for a general checkup."
Derek nods, "okay"
Addison smiles, "Now to go to sleep, while we still can."
Derek nods, "I love you!
Addison smiles, "I love you too." She give him a soft kiss.
The next morning Derek wakes up to a note from Addison
Hun,
Take off on January 6th for our first appointment with Nancy.
-Addie
Derek smiles and gets ready for work. He comes down stairs to Mark and Addison in the kitchen. Mark smiles, "Hey daddy." He already sees that he is going to enjoy teasing him.
Addison smiles, "Hi Hun. He greeted me with the hi Mommy at the door."
Derek smiles, "Okay. You are going to be Uncle Mark."
Mark smiles, "I cant wait to be cool uncle Mark."
Derek nods, "if you ever sleep with our daughter when she is 18 you are dead."
Mark nods, "agreed."
Addison laughs, "What makes you think it's a girl? It could be a boy who you better not to take to a strip club when he is 18."
Derek laughs, "I am okay with that though."
Addison rolls her eyes, "Okay. I am going to work now."
