A/N: This chapter is MUCH better than the first. Thanks Amy for your review!!! And I need a Beta. Anyone interested?

Addison woke up in the morning stiff and in pain. She groaned as she sat up slowly and got up, making sure she woke up on the right side. Every little thing helped right? She trudged into the kitchen to see Calli, who had made some pancakes and had cut some fruit. She poured herself some coffee and nodded good morning to her.

"Good morning!"

"Oh please don't be this chipper in the morning! Not good for your health."

"Well, I'm not this chipper. I've been up for about 3 hours!"

"3 hours? Oh jeez! What time is it? I'm sooo late for work!"

"No you're not. It's 7."

"You woke up at 4? Why would you want to do something like that?"

"Oh because some of us have planes to catch."

It was then that Addie noticed the bags.

"You're leaving? Now? Stay for another day! I am your patient!"

"I wish I could. But I have to go back. I've done my bit. Given you all the scoop, set your ribs. Now, I have to go back or the Chief will have my head."

"Fine."

"Now stand up. I want to take one last look before I leave."

Addison stood up slowly and looked out the window to see a cab waiting. She sighed and winced as the ribs hurt. Calli examined her and the binding. Addison was going to be just fine. Just sore and cranky for a week, but fine. Calli still wanted her to go to the hospital and get some X-rays and send them over to her. Addison agreed to this and opened the door to send her friend off. When she opened it she found a small earthen pot all wrapped up in green. She bent to pick it up forgetting her ribs and let out a yelp. Calli grinned and picked it and the paper up and handed it to Addie, before giving her a light hug.

"You call me!"

"I will doctor!"

"And I want those X-rays!"

"I'll send them as soon as possible."

"Bye Addie. Be careful ok?"

"Yeah I will. Thanks! Have a good flight!"

Addison shut the door, put the paper on the table and studied the pot. She opened it and found out it was some Ayurvedic pain balm. Some Indian goop that she was supposed to put around the affected area. She wondered how the hell did Pete know about her ribs and how dead against painkillers she was. She went back to the table to read the paper and finish her breakfast. Once done, she got clean and rubbed the stuff around the binding. She instantly felt better and made a mental note to thank Pete for it.

She went to the hospital and took the X-rays for Calli. She personally didn't feel the need, but oh well. Once they confirmed the cracks, she was instructed again to keep the bindings on for two weeks and to come back for another set of X-rays. It ticked her off.

Making her way to Oceanside Wellness, she went to the elevator. There she saw Charlotte, who was on her way to visit Cooper. She nodded hello. Neither one said anything but stood there in silence. Then Charlotte broke it.

"Montgomery. How are the ribs?"

"They're good. Thanks. Calli helped fix them. Thanks for sending her."

"Well, I thought you'd like Dr. Torres cause you worked with her. Glad I'm not wrong."

"No you aren't."

"Anything missing?"

"Yeah. Some jewellery and stuff. I made a list. The cops are coming here for it later this morning."

"Oh ok."

The elevator doors opened to show Dell at the Domain. She went up to him to get her schedule for the day.

"Oh hey Dr. Montgomery! I didn't think you were coming in today."

"Good morning… Why wouldn't I be coming in today?"

"Oh because of the robbery and the ribs. Are you ok?"

"I'm fine Dell. Thank you. Now where is my first patient?"

"Well, they are all quite backed up because of Dr. Turner. And your first is behind you."

Addison turned around to find Morgan Barns. She didn't know how to react or what to say.

"Dr. Montgomery. Hi. Don't leave. Just… Can we talk? Please?"

"Uh. Yes of course. Come to my office."

"Thanks."

They went into Addison's office and they sat. Minutes ticked by without any movement.

"How is the baby?"

"Oh she is fine. She is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen."

"That's good. Morgan. I want to say I'm sorry."

"I know. I know that nothing happened. I mean some kissing and something almost happened but you stopped. And you didn't see him. He told me everything. He left me."

"Morgan. I am so, so sorry. I really didn't mean to break your marriage up."

"But you didn't. That's why I'm here. To tell you that I don't blame you. I really like you Dr. Montgomery. I'd still like for you to be my doctor. And friend."

Addison took a deep breath. This was so good. She really, really liked Morgan and this was a chance to be friends with her.

"I will definitely be your doctor and friend Morgan."

"Thanks Dr. Montgomery."

"Addison. We are friends."

"Addison. Are you ok? You look like you're in pain."

"I'm ok. I have some cracked ribs."

"Oh my God! What happened?"

"I got robbed and I interrupted him and he shoved me. I fell and the cracked."

"That's horrible. Can I do anything?"

"Thanks Morgan. I'm fine."

"Promise me you'll call if you need anything?"

"I promise. Bye Morgan."

"Bye Addison."

As Morgan left, Addison felt that her life was getting back on track. She picked up the Ayurvedic balm and thought, I'm not alone. I have friends. She smiled and buzzed the intercom to ask to send her next patient in.

By about 11, Addison was exhausted. She had seen 4 patients back to back, her ribs were sore and she was tired. She wanted to just go home and sleep. She had a half hour before her next patient and went to see if Pete was in and if he could help. She also wanted to thank him for the balm. She was cranky with the lack of sleep and the soreness and was just irritated that she didn't have the flexibility she usually had. She couldn't even bend down and pick up the pen for Christ sake! When the intercom buzzed just as she was almost out the door to go to Pete's office, she almost screamed. She went to it and pressed the button.

"Yes Dell?"

"Dr. Montgomery, there are some cops here to see you."

"I'll be right out."

She had completely forgotten about the list. She picked it up and shuffled out to find Kevin and his partner Leslie. She was not pleased at all.

"What are you doing here? And where is officer… officer… Oh what the hell was his name?"

"My aren't we in a pretty mood? Leslie and I have been assigned on this case. Yours is only one of the many houses this guy's hit. And they brought us in to get him. Now where is the list."

"Just when I think my day is better, you show up. Now here. I hope that's all you need."

"Just this and I'll need to sit with you when and get a description."

"Can't Leslie do that?"

"I'm the profiler. He's the tracker."

"Great. When do you want me to come down?"

"Why are you so cranky? And so tired? Didn't you sleep? Or use the balm?"

"You gave me that balm?"

"Yeah. I used it when I broke my ribs. Thought you'd like it also. No side effects and I know how much you hate painkillers. Are you using it?"

"Yeah I am. Thank you. It helps. But you need to leave now. I have patients."

"Alright Dr. Montgomery. I'll see you later."

"Fine. Wait. Kevin! When am I supposed to come to the station?"

"I'll call you!"

Kevin and Leslie went into the elevator and the doors shut on Addison's seething face.

"Dammit! He always does that! Now I have only 15 minutes!"

She stalked off to make herself some coffee and ran into Pete there.

"Hey Pete!"

"Hey Addison. I heard bout the ribs. How are you feeling? I have this incredible Ayurvedic Indian balm if you're interested!"

"Is it green?"

"Yes it is!"

"I already have it. Thanks!"

"hey! Why so pissy?"

"Bad day? How's Violet?"

"She's doing ok physically. Mentally she is a wreck. She needs to find that baby!"

"I know. I hope we find that, that, that, there are no words that will describe that horrible creature."

"I know. Thanks."

She squeezed his arm and went to her office to see her next patient.
