Hello! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Guest or with account, it all makes me equally happy! IMPORTANT QUESTION! Some people suggested to make Meredith pregnant, so that she didn't have the miscarriage.. I for one would kind of think that is weird since this story focuses on Addex pregnancy so I really wouldn't spent that much time on Meredith's AND I've already written a story where she's pregnant (Torn) but I would like to hear some other opinions because if that's whhat everyone wants, I can make it happen :) But enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: yeah .. I don't own it

Alex was gazing at one of the babies in the NICU, letting the infant grabbing his finger and smiling when she did. Addison came into the room softly, which was empty aside from the babies and Alex.

"Thought I could find you here." Addison spoke softly and smiled when Alex jumped in terror.

"Didn't mean to scare you."

"It's okay. So you're really back? Not for once, like last time?" Alex asked carefully.

"I am, you better get used to my face." She said, not letting her eyes drift off from the baby.

"I can work with that." He said, which made her look up and lock eyes. She couldn't suppress a smile which was gladly returned.

"She's strong." Addison remarked, carefully sliding her hand in the incubator and touching Alex's in the process.

"Yeah. Poppy Green, born 10 weeks premature, but she made it through."

Addison remained silent but with Alex, she didn't have to say anything. Their silences were almost never awkward. For a couple of minutes Addison forgot what she came to tell him but she was reminded by the sudden rush of nausea that went through her body. She took her hand out of the incubator quickly and held it in front of her mouth to release the vomit in the closest trash can. Alex came after her, holding her hair out of her face. He grabbed some paper towels and gave them to her, so she could wipe her mouth. Alex was just about to ask if she were sick when yet another wave of vomit escaped her mouth. He rubbed her back in circles softly saying "It's okay." She sat down and Alex squatted down in front of her, waiting for an explanation.

"Okay Alex, I'm not sick, I don't have food poisoning or some other crazy thing. Well actually it is crazy and it's also a form of sickness. Although I'm not sure it counts. I should know this, I'm a doctor, it's my field, I'm a woman."

"W-w-w-w-wait, what do you mean it's your field? Are you pregnant or something?" He looked at her with a big smile on his face, suggesting it jokingly. But when she gave him a guilty look his face went dead serious. "Addison, are you pregnant?"

No answer. She let her head resting on one hand and tears were filling her eyes. Alex asked her once again, this time grabbing her shoulders, "Addison, Addison, are you pregnant?"

She couldn't hold it in any longer, "Yes." And she let her head fall into her hands, a sob escaping from her mouth. Alex pulled her into a hug. He let her cry for a bit when she dried her tears with Alex's handkerchief. Alex was still squatted in front of Addison's chair. He looked up at her expectantly.

"How far along?"

"Six weeks."

"So the morning sickness, or should I say midday sickness started not a long time ago."

"No."

"I think I've got it already figured out in my head, but .."

"Yeah."

"So, I'm going to be .. a Dad?" He asked.

"If you want to, I'm not putting you under any pressure, I mean it's your cho-"

Addison's speech was cut off by Alex planting a soft kiss on her lips.

"We're going to be a family Addie, that's my choice. It's not ideal, it wasn't planned, but the baby was conceived with love and it's going to receive love." He pecked her lips yet again.

"We're going to be parents Alex." A smile finally being formed on Addison's face as he put his hands on her, now flat, stomach protectively.

"Taking it slow." She started.

"No telling." He finished.

"No public affection." She started once again.

"Keeping private and professional life parted." He finished again.

Addison stood up and pulled Alex in a hug, knowing that this baby couldn't wish for a better dad.


"Callie? Are you here?" Addison softly asked as she came into the Women's room, after being paged there by none other than Callie Torres.

"Right here." Callie answered as she casually walked out off the stall she'd been hiding in. "So, did you tell him?"

"Well actually the quantity of vomit told him." And as Callie's mouth fell open and her eyes were big, she continued, "I've kind of been having my morning sickness around noon and we were talking about a case and I felt nauseous and threw up in the trash can. He immediately came to the rescue and held my hair. It was really sweet, although that's probably weird to say. And well when I told him how far along I was he just knew."

"Oh my God! How did he react?"

"He told me that we were going to be a family. He seemed excited, happy even. And he kissed me." Addison looked to the ground but was smiling so hard, it was hard not to notice.

"I think you're more excited about the part where he kissed you than about the part where he told you you were going to be a family." Callie said.

"No, no! Not at all, it's, I'm equally happy about both things. I don't know, it's all going so fast. I didn't expect him to immediately want a relationship with me."

"Look Addie, I already said this to you but, guys like Karev, they might mess around in their twenties but after that they settle down and teach their kids how to play catch. And I think that time might be here. I knew you guys were made for each other years ago."

"I guess." Addison said hesitantly.

"Okay Addison, look at me." Callie said as she grabbed Addison's face. "Are you happy?"

"Well, I-" Addison started but was cut off quickly.

"One word answers please."

"Yes."

"Then go for it. Don't care how other people think about you. You've got two more months before you can tell other people. Which means two more months of working on your relationship with Alex. It might be just a little fast for you right now, and I'm not saying you should move in together right away. But would it be so wrong to have a relationship with the father of your baby?"

"No."

A silence filled the room and Callie looked at her expectantly when she realized what she said before. "You can give me full sentences now." Which made Addison chuckle.

"We'll just try to work it out. Take it slow and that kind of crap. But anyway, will you give me a sonogram later?" Addison asked.

"Anytime Addie. Yes baby, I would want to see you anytime of the day." Callie's voice turned into the voice everyone used while talking to babies as she squatted down to talk to Addison's belly. As she stood up again Addison shot her a look.

"Oh come one Addie, you know I've been waiting to do that since our talk in the cafeteria."

"That was like 20 minutes ago!"

Callie laughed, "Well I have to go anyway. Consult and stuff."

Addison snickered and walked out with her. Not knowing that their whole conversation could be perfectly heard by another person who just came in here to use the toilet. It was none other than Miranda Bailey who came out of the stall shaking her head in disapproval. "Nasty, nasty."

Oh la la! For everyone who thinks Alex's reaction is OOC, just wait *evil smirk* Review pleaseeeeeeee!
