Chapter One_Unwelcome_Guests

MAY 2011- One year after the finale:

Addison Montgomery's in her office waiting for her last patient of the day to arrive. It's a last minute unscheduled appointment, she agreed to fit in. She looks at the clock and thinks "Seven o:clock. I hope Charlotte gets here soon. Sam is making my favorite dinner and I promised I'd pick up some wine." Charlotte King strolls or waddles would be more like it, into her office:

"Sorry, I'm late Montgomery. My staff meeting ran late at St. Ambrose." Charlotte's eight and a half months pregnant. She announced she was pregnant a month after her honeymoon in Greece with Cooper.

"It's fine Charlotte. What's going on that you're making me late for my favorite dinner?" Addison asks, escorting Charlotte to the exam table as hands her a gown.

"I fell this morning and now I'm having cramps." Charlotte sits on the exam table. "I'm not wearing that thing." She pushes the gown back at Addison and pulls up her shirt to reveal her swollen belly.

"What do you mean you fell this morning? You're just telling me now?" Addison puts her palms on Charlotte's belly.

"I was in a rush. I was late finishing rounds at St. Ambrose and had to get here to see my first patient this morning. I slipped and fell in the parking lot. I was fine. I didn't think it was a big deal until I started getting cramps later?" Charlotte explains as Addison feels her belly.

"You should slow down. You're due in two weeks." Addison's concerned .

"I told everyone I was going to work until my due date and I intend to."

"How long have you had the cramps?" Addison asks, looking at her watch as she presses her hand on Charlotte's belly.

"Since I fell about eight hours ago, but they're getting worse. That's why I called you. Cooper doesn't know. I don't want him worrying about me."

"Because he'll tell you to stop working." Addison smirks at her while still looking at her watch. "You're going to have to tell him now because you are having contractions my friend. Here feel." Addison puts Charlotte's hand under her own on Charlotte's belly. Feel how hard the muscle is? You're having a contraction. Put the gown on. I need to examine you."

Charlotte looks at her with her mouth open. "But I'm not ready. I'm not due for two more weeks." Charlotte takes the gown this time and begins undressing.

"The baby is ready Charlotte and you'll learn the baby is going to be the boss in your house now." Addison smiles.

Charlotte lets Addison examine her. "I better call Cooper." Charlotte's loooking nervous.

Addison checks Charlotte's cervix. "No need to call him Charlotte. He's down the hall in Violet's office with Sheldon."

"I thought Violet was in court about her patient today?" Charlotte asks.

"She was. They convicted her patient to life in jail for killing his wife." Addison continues to check Charlotte's condition. "You're about two centimeters dilated but by the frequency of your contractions I think you'll move along quickly."

"Thank goodness for that!" Charlotte sighs. "I better go get Coop."

"I'll go with you. I wanted to discuss that patient with Violet. The family called me earlier and they want to sue us. They feel it's Violet's fault their son killed his wife." Addison tells Charlotte as Charlotte gets dressed.

"Oh boy! Times like this, I'm glad I'm not a psychiatrist." Charlotte puts her clothes on as she grimaces with a contraction.

The two woman walk down the hall to Violet's office.

Meanwhile Cooper, Violet and Sheldon are discussing the patient in Violet's office.

"That stinks Violet." Cooper rubs Violet's right shoulder as he stands behind her at her desk.

"The family's threatening to sue me. Maybe they're right, maybe it is my fault. I should've seen it coming. What kind of shrink am I?" Violet rubs her hands over her face clearly feeling emotionally distressed.

"It's not your fault Violet." Sheldon offers her a hard candy.

"No thank you. It is my fault. He told me he thought about killing his wife in the past." Violet waves Sheldon's hand and the candy away.

Cooper takes the candy from Sheldon and pops it in his mouth. "He told you he was going to kill his wife?"

Sheldon perks his head up. "You didn't report it?"

"No. He told me he thought about killing his wife in the past, years ago, but he couldn't go through with it. He said he was getting along better with his wife since he started taking the anti-depressants I prescribed. I thought he was getting better. He must have stopped taking the medicine."

"That's not your fault Violet. We don't know if our patients will stay compliant. We can't follow them around twenty four hours a day." Sheldon starts to walk out the door as Charlotte and Addison walk in. "Hello ladies I thought you went home." Sheldon smiles at them.

"I was supposed to be on my way home but I had an unexpected patient." Addison looks at Charlotte.

"Who?" Cooper asks as he sucks and slurps on his hard candy.

"Me!" Charlotte announces, "I'm having contractions!" Charlotte smiles and then grabs hold of her belly and her smile quickly changes to a grimace.

"Oh wow! Are you having one now?" Cooper rushes over and puts his hand on her belly as he kisses her forehead.

Two large men enter Violet's office. "You're Dr. Turner! Your testimony put my boy in jail!" The tall thin man points at Violet. "We're suing this place!" The man shouts at Violet.

Violet looks at the man. Addison calmly tells him. "Relax sir. I'm Dr. Addison Montgomery. I believe I spoke with you this morning. I'm the doctor in charge of this practice. We could sit down in my office and discuss this in the morning." Addison holds her hand out.

The man pushes her hand away. We're discussing it now!" He shouts.

"We're actually closed right now and on our way home." Addison calmly tells him.

"Ain't nobody goin anywhere!" The second man in the room yells as he blocks the doorway and pulls out a gun.

Addison , Charlotte, Cooper , Sheldon and Violet all stand frozen in shock.
