1 year later.
"Mmm, good morning" Addison said with a lazy smile as Alex kissed her awake.
"Good morning baby" he grinned.
"What are you up to?" she smirked.
"Who says I'm up to anything?" he laughed.
"You have that look on your face Alex Karev" Addison smiled, her face softened as he brought a hand to her cheek and slowly stroked the skin "Is everything ok?" she asked quietly.
"The first time I got married, it wasn't planned, it was spur of the moment, it was something I did because I didn't, I didn't think she was going to make it, and it felt like the right thing but now, now I know that this, us, is what I want, this is the right thing, you, are my one, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you" he said, pushing a ring onto her finger.
"Aren't you supposed to ask me a question?" Addison teased, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Well what would your answer be?" Alex said ghosting his lips against her neck.
"Yes" Addison smiled "My answer, would be yes, yes" she said with a laugh, rolling him onto his back and straddling his body "Yes" she whispered kissing him softly "We're getting married"
"Yeah" he smiled "We are"

"Good morning" Addison almost sang as she walked into Callie and Arizona's apartment with Alex, the four of them, plus Mark, Lexie, Cristina, Owen, Derek and Meredith always tried to make a point of having breakfast together, choosing Callie's place because of it's closeness to the hospital and the fact that she was the best cook.
"Well isn't someone a ray of sunshine" Mark smirked "God Karev, did you slip some happy pills into her coffee?"
"No" Alex smirked.
"Then what is with you?" Callie laughed.
"Oh nothing" Addison said gesturing obviously with her ringed hand "I'm just bright and shiny, bright, and, shiny" she said waving it a little more.
"Oh my god!" Lexie squealed launching herself into Addison's arms "Congratulations"
"Thanks Little Grey" Addison laughed.
"What the hell have we missed?" Derek frowned.
"Erm, hello!" Lexie exclaimed grabbing Addison's hand "Ring!" she said pointing at the ring "Bright, shiny, platinum, huge diamond engagement ring!"
"Congratulations" Meredith said hugging them both, followed by Callie, Arizona and Owen, and a courteous nod from Cristina.
"It's what you want?" Mark asked Addison quietly as he stood in front of her.
"More than anything" Addison smiled.
"Then congratulations" he said hugging her tightly "You hurt her and I break your legs" he muttered to Alex as he shook his hand "But congratulations man"
"Thanks" Alex breathed.
"Congratulations Addie" Derek said softly as he hugged her "I'm happy for you"
"Thank you Derek" Addison smiled "How long until I can tell everyone about Fetus Shepherd?" she whispered.
"What?" he said with a nervous laugh.
"I guessed everyone of your sisters pregnancies before they did, you know this Derek" Addison smirked "Your secrets safe with me" she said squeezing his hand.
"Thanks Addie" he laughed "4 more weeks and we're telling" he muttered.
"Gotcha" she smiled.
"Ok, ok, ok" Callie said quickly "Everyone get glasses of something" everyone let out a laugh and picked up their coffee mugs and glasses of juice, Addison and Alex quickly grabbing their own "To my best friends" Callie smiled "I always knew they were meant to be, from the minute I saw a glance pass between them way back before the city of LA ever entered the picture, and my only hope is that this time, they're not stupid enough to let each other go, To Alex, and the future Mrs Addison Karev"
"To Alex and Addison" Derek said raising his glass.
"Alex and Addison" everyone smiled, glasses and mugs instantly being tapped together.
"I love you" Addison whispered kissing Alex softly.
"I love you too future Mrs Karev" he grinned.

6 months later.
"If everyone would please welcome for their first dance as man and wife, Mr and Mrs Alex Karev"
Alex led Addison to the dance floor of the reception of their wedding, her arms instantly coming around his neck as his arms wrapped around her body, both of them swaying slowly to the music.
"Today has been perfect" Addison whispered.
"It has" Alex smiled "So perfect, I love you so much Addie"
"I love you too" she said softly.
"So I was thinking" Alex started "Maybe we should start looking at adoption agencies"
"Really!"
"Really" he said with a laugh "Well, we're married now, we've officially bought the Grey palace, we have 2 bedrooms to fill and a kitchen table we never use but is waiting for messy cereal eaters"
"Ok" Addison said tearfully "Well I guess, when we get back from our honeymoon, we'll look into it"
"We're doing this babe" Alex said kissing her "Thank you" he whispered.
"What for?"
"For saying yes" he smiled.
"There was no question in my mind" she smiled back.

1 year later.
"To us" Addison said tapping her wine glass to Alex's.
"To us" he smiled "Happy Anniversary Baby"
"Happy Anniversary" she said softly "I can't believe we did it" she breathed "If you'd have told me when I moved back to Seattle that I'd be here with you, I wouldn't have believed you"
"Yeah, me neither" Alex said with a slight laugh "But I am more than happy that we did"
"Me too" Addison smiled, she reached out to pick up the phone from the side table next to the sofa as it rang, Alex watched curiously as she nodded with a lot of yes's and no's before hanging up.
"Everything ok?" he frowned as she looked at him slightly stunned.
"That was the adoption agency" she said quietly.
"And?" he asked hopefully.
"We're getting a baby" she said disbelievingly.
"What?" he gasped.
"There's a pregnant woman in Portland, she's 8 months and she picked us" she whispered "She picked us!" she laughed, Alex didn't care that their wine was spilling all over the carpet as he scooped her up in his arms and swung her around the living room, falling back onto the sofa as their lips came together.
"Oh my god" he whispered.
"I know" Addison smiled "This is, surreal"
"Yeah" he said with a laugh "So what, what happens now? How is this going to work?"
"They're going to call when she goes into labor, she lives about 3 hours away so I said we'd drive down and pick up the baby, she doesn't want to see them, they'll hand the baby straight over to us"
"Wow" Alex breathed "This is really happening, we're, we're going to be parents"
"Yeah" Addison said with a laugh "I need to tell people like, now"
"I know" he said kissing her softly "I'll call everyone over"
"This is the best anniversary ever" she grinned.
"It really is" Alex smiled.

1 month later.
"Knock knock" Alex said as he walked into the busy kitchen at the Shepherd house, Addison walked in behind him with a pink bundle in her arms.
"Oh my god" Callie started "She's really here"
"She's really here" Addison smiled before everyone started to offer congratulations.
"So, what's her name?" Meredith asked.
"Emily Amber Karev" Alex said proudly.
"You hear that Chris, your new girlfriend's name is Emily" Mark cooed to 1 year old Christopher Shepherd.
"Not a chance in hell is that happening" Alex smirked.
"Why? What's wrong with my son?" Meredith asked with her hands on her hips.
"Uh-oh, you pissed off Mamma Hen" Cristina snorted.
"Nothing Mer" Alex said with a slight laugh "It's just my baby girl is not dating until she's 30"
"Yeah like that plan will work" Addison laughed "Don't listen to him Em, Mommy will break him down for you"
"You are so screwed Karev, it's gonna be two against one for the rest of your life" Mark chuckled.
"It'll be worth it" Alex said kissing Addison's cheek, Cristina and Mark turned to each other fake gagged.
"Leave them alone" Arizona laughed, swatting Cristina's arms "They're happy, right"
"Yeah, we're happy" Addison smiled.
~x~
"She's asleep" Addison whispered as she climbed into bed next to Alex.
"How long will that last?" he mumbled.
"Probably not long" she said with a quiet laugh "Thank you" she mumbled into his body.
"What for?" he asked softly.
"For, doing this with me, I know kids was never really in your plan but..."
"It was" he said gently "I just, it took being with you, being with the right person, to realise I could do it, because I sure as hell knew you could, you can, you're an amazing Mom already"
"You're an amazing Dad" she said softly "You have no idea how much I love you Alex Karev"
"Oh, I think I do" he murmered, kissing her gently "Now shut up and get some sleep before she starts crying" he chuckled lightly.
"Ok" she laughed "Night honey"
"Night" he whispered, they kissed once again before they snuggled into the bed and slowly fell to sleep, waiting for their daughters cries to wake them.
The End.
