May 1990
"Y'know Sam, you are my bestest friend in the whole world" Addison slurred as she walked back to her apartment with her arms linked with Sam's, both of them drunk "And we jus' graduated from college baby!" she laughed.
"Yes we did" Sam laughed "You are drunk Ms Montgomery"
"You are the drunkestest" Addison giggled, they reached her apartment building and walked inside, they got into the elevator together and pressed the button to her floor, when they reached her apartment they both laughed uncontrollably as she struggled to put her key in the lock, when she managed to open the door they both fell inside, Sam grabbed Addison as they fell and landed on top of her on the floor.
"Ow" Addison groaned "That hurt" they both looked at each other for one second before laughing, as their laughter started to stop they gently kissed.
"Wait, wait" Sam mumbled.
"What?" Addison panted.
"We should get off the floor first"
Addison laughed and they both scrambled to their feet, kissing as they stumbled towards her bedroom.
~x~
"Oh god" Addison groaned as the sunlight streaming through her windows woke her, she rubbed her eyes and attempted to roll onto her front, freezing when she hit something next to her, she slowly opened her eyes and screamed before groaning again at her headache.
"What? What is it?" Sam panicked as he woke "Oh shit…" he said as he came face to face with Addison who had pulled the covers up to hide her naked body.
"We, I think we, we…" Addison stuttered "I think we, oh my god"
"Let's just, not freak out, it's ok, we can just, forget this ever happened, it's ok" he said slowly "It's ok"
"We should just, get dressed and, have breakfast and pretend this never happened" Addison gulped.
"I agree" Sam nodded "So uh…"
"Just, close your eyes for a second" Addison mumbled, Sam covered his eyes and Addison quickly got out of bed and put on her robe "Ok, you can look, I'll go and start breakfast, you get dressed"
"Addie remember to…"
"Hangover remedy, I know Sam" Addison laughed, as Addison left the room he sighed heavily and lay back on the bed.
~x~
"This is really awkward" Addison mumbled as she ate her breakfast with Sam opposite her "What have we done Sam?"
"We were drunk, really, really drunk" he sighed "Addison I don't want to lose you as a friend, you've been my best friend for 4 years, I don't want that to get screwed up because of one drunken night, we'll be fine Addie"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah" he nodded "Plus, nobody makes hangover eggs and bacon like you"
"That is true" Addison laughed lightly "So, we'll be ok"
"We'll be just fine" he smiled "Now, to med school" he said raising his glass of orange juice.
"To med school" Addison smiled, she tapped her glass to his and took a sip before they continued to eat.

6 weeks later.
"Addie, hey" Sam smiled as he opened his apartment door.
"Hi" she said quietly.
"You've bee avoiding my calls all week"
"Yes" she nodded.
"Wanna tell me why?" he asked.
"I'm pregnant, Sam" Addison whispered "That night, that night I, I guess we didn't, use anything, I didn't even think about it the next morning which I know is stupid but, please say something"
"I…you better come in" Sam stuttered, he stepped to one side and let her into the apartment "Well what, what do you want to, do?" he asked carefully.
"I, I can't get an abortion Sam, I can't, I won't, I know I'm going to have to quit med school before I've even started and my parents will probably kill me and take away all my money but, I can't…" she said tearfully "I can't, I'm sorry"
"Addie, you have nothing to apologize for" Sam said softly, pulling her into a hug "I would never ask you to do something like that, never, you should know me well enough to know that, we can do this however you want, we can, we can get married or, or just stay friends or, whatever you want, we'll do this together, I promise"
"You're my best friend Sam" she sniffled, burying her face in his chest "We really shouldn't ever drink again, ever, it messed us up"
"We're gonna be fine" he said as he softly stroked her hair "We'll be fine, we can postpone med school, both of us…."
"We don't both have to do that"
"I know but I want to do it, I want to be there for you and the baby as much as possible, and your parents might freak out at first but they would never abandon you, and they love me" he said with a slight grin.
"They love you because you're not sleeping with their daughter" Addison laughed.
"Well, I'm not sleeping with you, that was just once" he smirked, she smacked him on the chest lightly "We'll be fine Addie, we'll all be fine"
"Sam" Addison whispered "How are you staying so calm?"
"Because I know we'll be able to do this" Sam smiled "We're best friends, we'll be great parents, and, I'm freaking out on the inside" he laughed.
"Will you come with me? To tell my parents?" she said looking up at him "We can fly out to your Mom if you want…."
"Well we're both going to visit them over the summer anyway, it'll be ok, my Mom will probably just be happy, if she knows I'm happy"
"Are you happy?" Addison asked quietly.
"I've always wanted to be a father, I expected it to be after med school when I'm more settled and, not with my best friend" he said with a soft laugh "But, I'm happy, I am, are you?"
"Yeah" she whispered "I am, I'm still freaking out but after the initial shock was over, just thinking about the baby inside me, I kept imagining what they'd look like and, I want to do this"
"Then we'll do this" he said putting his hand on her stomach "We'll do this together, no matter what happens"
"We'll do this" Addison smiled "God this is so weird"
"Yeah" Sam laughed "In 7 months, we'll be parents"
Addison looked at him and after a split second, they both started to laugh uncontrollably.

February 1991
"I don't think I can do this" Addison panted "I can't do this, it hurts too much, oh god" she groaned.
"Addison you are more than ready for this" Dr Williams said gently "You know more about pregnancy than I do, one day you'll make a great OB-GYN"
"You think so?" Addison smiled "That's, that's what I want to do, and surgery but, I want to do that too"
"You'll be great at it Addie" Sam smiled "But right now you need to start pushing ok? We've gotta find out what we've got in there right?"
"Mmhmm" she nodded through the pain "But so help me god Sam if you look between my legs…"
"I won't look" he said rolling his eyes "But I am cutting the cord"
"Deal" Addison nodded "Now please can I push"
"After 3" Dr Williams started "1, 2, 3"
Addison screamed through her first push, gripping onto Sam's hand, the delivery progressed quickly and within 5 minutes the baby was in the doctors hands.
"You have yourselves a girl" she smiled "Sam, do you want to cut the cord?" he nodded and reached over to cut the cord, the doctor wiped the baby down a little and but her on Addison's chest as she cried.
"Hi, hi baby girl" Addison said tearfully "Look at you, you're so beautiful, I'm your Mommy baby, I am, and this is Daddy and, we might not have what most people would call a normal family but we'll be a great one, I promise, Sam look at her"
"I know" he whispered.
"I'm just going to take her over to the nurse to get her checked over and weighed, I'll bring her right back" Dr Williams said as she carefully picked up the baby.
"You were amazing Addie" Sam said wiping some tears from her cheeks "You did it, and look at her, she's beautiful"
"Thank you" Addison whispered "Thank you for being here"
"I wouldn't want to be anywhere else" he said gently, he reached in and kissed her forehead.
"Here she is" Dr Williams smiled a couple of minutes later as she walked back over to them "7 pounds, 9 ounces, she seems to be perfectly healthy, Sam would you like to hold her while Addison delivers the afterbirth, it won't take long"
"Hold her Sam" Addison smiled, Sam nodded and accepted the pink bundle into his arms.
"Hi baby girl" he whispered "You are beautiful, can I take her out to our parents?"
"Go ahead" Dr Williams smiled.
"Go and show her off Sam" Addison smiled.
"Come on little one" Sam smiled down at the baby before leaving the room, he walked down to the waiting room where his Mom, Addison's parents Bizzy and the Captain and brother Archer were waiting, his Mom Marilyn being the first to stand "Hi" he smiled "She's literally just 10 minutes old" he said with a slight laugh.
"She? It's a girl?" Marilyn smiled "Oh Sam that's wonderful"
"How's Addison?" Archer asked.
"She's doing well, they're just cleaning her up" Sam smiled.
"Well she's definitely yours" Bizzy said as she looked at the baby's skin tone.
"Bizzy" the Captain glared "We have never questioned that, this is our granddaughter, can you please be nice"
"Ignore them" Archer muttered "Has she got a name?"
"No, no not yet, just Baby Girl Montgomery-Bennett for now" Sam said as he stroked the baby's cheek gently with his finger "She's 7 pounds and 9 ounces, really healthy"
"She looks great Sam" the Captain said patting his shoulder "Tell Addison we're proud of her"
"You can tell her yourself soon but, I will, that'll mean a lot to her" Sam smiled "I should get back, I'll come and get you when Addison's ready for visitors"
"You get back to her dear" Marilyn smile "And you little one, you be a good girl for your Mommy and Daddy" she cooed at the baby, Sam smiled at them and took the baby back to Addison's room.
"Hey" he smiled when he walked in "How's everything going in here?"
"All done" Dr Williams smiled "I'll leave you all alone for a moment, you need a name for this little one, congratulations"
"Thank you for everything" Addison smiled, the doctor smiled back and left the room.
"She's right, we do need to give her a name" Sam said softly as he put the baby in Addison's arms.
"We do" Addison smiled softly "What did they all say?"
"My Mom is as gushy as I expected, Archer seems pretty happy for Archer, your father says he's proud of you and your mother…"
"Was as polite as always huh?" Addison smirked.
"Right" Sam laughed "It wasn't all bad, she wasn't glaring at me like she was when we told her you were pregnant"
"I thought she was going to literally bite your head off" Addison laughed "Your Grandma Bizzy is insane honey" she laughed as she stroked the baby's cheek.
"So, a name for her?" Sam said quietly as he perched on the end of the bed.
"Katherine" she whispered "Katie"
"Katherine Matilda, after my Grandmother, is that ok?"
"I think it's perfect" Addison smiled "Katherine Matilda Montgomery-Bennett"
"Welcome to the world Katie" Sam smiled gently "You're gonna love it"
