Addison sighed happily as she opened the blinds in her Los Angeles beach house, she was so happy to be home again. Her trip back to Seattle didn't go badly or anything of the sort, she just felt more comfortable in LA with her fresh start. However, there was one thing she missed about Seattle and she hated to admit that it was Alex Karev.

Addison and Alex had a reunion of sorts while she was back, that they both really enjoyed...

"What are you doing back here?" Alex asked, surprised to see her standing at the nurses station back where she used to stand before she took off to California wearing her trademark heels and of course, her red hair flowing down her back.

"Nice to see you too, Karev," she said smugly as he stared at her.

Alex stood with his hands on his hips, "you're the one who took off."

Addison rolled her eyes, "are you having a memory lapse. You're the one who told me I wasn't your girlfriend."

"Um ... yeah, maybe we should talk about that..."

"Should we," she inquired, "would it really make a difference now?"

"Maybe ... maybe, you want to talk to me now ... things change, maybe even I changed."

"Those are nice words, Alex ... but, prove it to me."

"Okay," he nodded, "how about I take you out for dinner ... that is something different, right ... I mean, for me?"

Addison smiled, "right ... okay Alex, you get one more chance."

The date had gone amazingly, Alex redeemed himself completely and showed her how much he'd grown up in the time she'd been away. "Addison, look for that thing I said to you before you left, I'm so sorry ... I shouldn't have said that to you, I just thought I was doing you a favor. But now I know, I was just being a prick."

Addison had to nod, "actually yes, you were a prick and you did hurt my feelings, but now you have a chance to make it up to me. I'm in town for two weeks, Alex. Those two weeks could be yours, with me and then we could see what happens, that is if you want."

"I want my chance, Addison." Alex replied looking in her eyes.

She nodded, finishing off her glass of red wine, "we have a deal then, Alex Karev."

They'd lived a whirl wind romance for the full two weeks they were together, endless sex, staying in bed for days at a time, only getting out of bed to shower together or order takeout. They'd talked a little about their relationship, but it was unclear what was going to happen when Addison returned to Los Angeles. They both didn't want to think about it, so they talked about that part as little as possible, they wanted their romance to go on forever and really, who could blame them?

But as good things always do, it came to an end when Addison's vacation was up and she had to leave Alex just as she met him two weeks before, heartbroken that Addison wasn't near.

She remembered distinctly saying good bye at the airport, the look in his eyes and how he almost started to cry when she tried to part away from him.

"We'll see each other again right?"

"Of course, Alex ... this is far from over." She felt him wrap his arms around her tightly and smelled her hair, she smiled against his shoulder, "next time, you come out to L.A. with me, okay?"

"Okay," he sniffed, "that'll be nice and ... warm, hmmm?"

She giggled a little, "it'll be hot, y'know it."

"Stop talking like that or I won't let you go." He pulled her closer and pressed his lips softly against her neck, "I love you, Addison."

The words sent shivers up her back, she closed her eyes and let the words wash over her before she replied, "... I love you too, Alex."

He placed one last kiss on her lips, "call me as soon as you get home ... I miss you already."

She finally broke and let a tear roll down her cheek, "I miss you too. " She ran her hand through his hair, "love you," kissing him quickly.
"Love you..." he whispered letting her go reluctantly and watching her walk slowly away from him, looking back at him until she was at her gate.

He watched her red hair until he couldn't see her anymore then looking around, taking a deep breath and wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket and walking out of the airport.

Addison sighed as she curled up in her bed alone after her nightly phone call with Alex. She missed him so much and it was almost hard to say good bye on the phone every day. She could tell he missed her too, she could hear it in his voice and it hurt her, Addie wiped a tear from her eye ... she was so emotional lately, it was strange.

Over the past week or so she noticed changes in her body, she was sore and kind of nauseated a lot of the time and she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong, she hadn't really thought about it to be honest.

"Holy shit," she sat up in her bed ... I can't be pregnant, can I?
