This is a little story that came to my mind about Addison and Alex just because I love them as a couple. It will involve other characters but the main focus will be on them and their relationship. This starts after that fateful episode where Alex tells Addie he's not his boyfriend and goes on to follow my imagination from there on. I really hope you like it.
P.S. I don't own any of these characters or their story even if I wish I did.
Addison couldn't believe herself. Did I just have sex with Karev? Alex Karev the intern who is almost as bad a manwhore as Mark Sloan? Yes I did and a part of me can't help but feel good about it, because even if I try to deny it working along his side these past months has brought us closer. I have started to see Alex in a different way. He wasn't the obnoxious intern who hated the vagina squad; no he was showing his a caring side. Now I can see Alex's potential as doctor, and I can see how much he cares as a human being. Now all I have to do is get out of this on call room and face him again and who knows maybe this will be the start of a different type of relationship, one that has nothing to do with Derek.
So I walk the halls of Seattle Grace with appearing as confident as ever and really hoping I don't bump into Callie before I get to see Alex again because I know she will start asking questions that I don't have the answers to. He's not in the interns' locker room or at the nurse station, I look in NICU but he's not there either. After looking around the hospital for another hour I give up. He must have left, I feel a little disappointed that I won't be able to talk to him today but I resign myself to have to wait until tomorrow. I guess I am lucky in a sense because just as I am heading towards the exit I see him in the lobby, sitting with open books around him and a pen in his mouth, I can tell he is studying for his exam and I can't help but feel proud of him. I take a deep breath and I approach him.
"Hey Alex"
"Dr. Montgomery" I am a little shocked at the professional greeting but I guess we are in the hospital and let's be real there is always a noise nurse or intern lurking around trying to find the latest piece of gossip
"How's the studying coming?"
"Good"
"If you want we can head back to my hotel room and I can help you study"
"No thanks"
"I know a pretty good technique for releasing stress before a test"
"No thank you"
"Oh well I guess I'll see you tomorrow after your exam. I know you'll do great" I am disappointed at his attitude and a little mad too, but I let it go because I can understand the stress that exams can bring. So I get up from the chair I had taken in front of him
"Listen Dr. Montgomery, what happened today was great and all but you are not my girlfriend. I am not interested in a girlfriend now or anytime in the near future. You know it was just some release that we needed. Now we can go back to working together as if nothing happened right?"
I can't believe those words just came through his mouth. I am glad I have years of practice at keeping an impartial face because otherwise he would see the tears that I am trying to contain. I am pissed, but not so much at him as I am pissed at myself for being so stupid to believe something other than sex could happen between me and Alex. So I laugh, I laugh loud, so that I don't cry, because I won't cry in front of him, I will not give him that power over me. He's looking at me like I am crazy, and I suppose I do look a little crazy.
"Alex I wasn't suggesting we have a relationship. What gave you that impression? And with an intern? Do you really think I would lower my standards like that?" I see that he's hurt by my words but I don't care because he hurt me too and I want him to feel bad. "I was only suggesting a little more release but if you don't want don't worry I am sure Mark will be more than happy to take your place and meet my needs, after all he isn't known as McSteamy for no reason. Goodnight Alex, keep studying."
I stride out of the hospital with my head high, not caring if anyone heard my little speech. I reach my car and I drive to the hotel in auto pilot. I get into my room and get ready for a shower. Is not until I am there under the steaming water that I start crying, crying because I am hurt, crying because I am stupid, just crying because I can't believe it hurts this much, had I fallen in love with Alex Karev and didn't know it? Is this why it hurts so much? I don't want to answer my own questions.
After what feels like an eternity I get out of the shower and head to bed. My head hurts and my eyes are swollen so I take a couple of pain killers and close my eyes hoping that sleep will come soon. I swear to myself that I will be fine, I will walk into Seattle Grace tomorrow with my head high and I will be the best doctor I can be, screw Alex Karev, he is not going to dictate my life or my actions.
7 weeks later
Addison sat in her office looking at the papers in her hand. Pregnant, I can't be pregnant. Naomi said I was barren, how could I be pregnant? I know how, it is because of Karev, his sperm knows no boundaries or obstacles. Dam it, just when I thought I was forgetting about that idiot this happens. I spent a nice vacation in California with Naomi and Sam forgetting about him, I come back and he's with Stevens so I am surprised and hurt, I can't deny I cried but I got over it. I still can't see them together without feeling a stabbing pain in the heart but I can at least work with him and be a professional. But now everything is screwed up again. Do I tell him? I guess there's no point in telling him; he said he wasn't interested in a relationship, even if he is in one with Stevens, let alone being a father. Oh god, what do I do? I know one thing for certain I am not aborting this baby.
I put the papers in a drawer and get back to work, with my luck of course as soon as I get to the nurses' station to get a patient's chart Alex is there.
"Dr. Montgomery are you okay?"
Oh god, did he know? No he couldn't know, I did the exam under a Jane Doe, he must be referring to something else. "Why wouldn't I be Dr. Karev?" Ever since that night I have never referred to him by his first name again.
"You just look pale" he smirks as if not to give it any importance
"I am perfectly fine, let's go see Mrs. McCullen" I got right back to business because that is the only things I can handle right now. I don't know what is going to happen next in my life but I guess I will figure it out after all I am Addison Forbes Montgomery.
Somewhere is the outsides of Seattle
"Are you sure this will be enough?"
"Believe me Fred; this baby here has enough power to burn that Seattle Grace to the ground"
