The next morning, once Pete and Addison had both arrived at the practice, they made their way to Naomi's office to talk to her right away. Addison couldn't help the grin that her lips had curved into and laughed when Naomi looked slightly frightened.

"What is it?" Naomi looked between the two of them. "Why is she looking at me like that?" She pointed at Addison which made the redhead laugh even more.

"We need to ask you something." Addison continued to grin and sat down on the couch in Naomi's office.

"Okay." She nodded slowly and leaned back in her chair.

"We've decided to have a baby, together," Addison announced happily.

Naomi's eyes widened at her friend's words. "You… what?"

"We've decided to have a baby," Addison repeated. "We both want to be parents, we're both single, we know each other so why not?"

"A baby is a huge responsibility." Naomi looked at the two of them. "I know that you two would make wonderful parents but have you really thought this through? You're going to be part of each other's life forever. You are actually going to have created something that is part of both of you."

"Nae, we know all that. We know what we're getting ourselves into. We both want this. We really want this." Addison looked at her friend. "But we need your help."

Naomi sighed and looked at Pete before back at her best friend. "What if you find someone else? I mean, someone you really want to be with."

"It's not going to change anything." Addison shrugged. "Pete and I will still have a baby together."

"We know what we're doing," Pete assured Naomi. "We really want to do this."

"Please, Nae, will you help us?" Addison begged.

Naomi looked at them in silence and rested her arms on the desk in front of her. "If you're sure."

"We wouldn't be asking you if we weren't." Addison squeezed hold of Pete's hand.

"Alright then." She nodded. "I'll help you get pregnant."

"Thank you, Nae, thank you so much." Addison grinned widely again.

"I can't promise anything, though." Naomi watched them. "But I'll do everything I can."

"That is all we are asking."

"We'll start the IVF treatment as soon as possible."

"We could start today," Addison suggested and looked at Pete. She didn't want to waste any time. She'd done enough of that already.

"There's something else though." She looked at them. "When a patient chooses to get pregnant by a sperm donor there's no other way but IFV, but when couples who want to get pregnant come to me I usually suggest they keep trying to conceive naturally as well to increase the changes of a pregnancy." Naomi watched their reactions wearily.

"Oh." Addison's mouth made an o shape and she slowly turned to look from Naomi to Pete and then back again. "Naturally? That increases the chances?"

"Of course it does." Naomi nodded. "We can start the IVF treatment and monitor your cycle to know when the chances are the highest."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "That's great."

"So, you're going to try it both ways?" She looked at the two of them.

"We hadn't thought about that before," Addison admitted and looked back at her friend.

"Well you can still figure that out." Naomi looked at her calendar. "I've got a cancellation at ten. Do you want to run the tests then?"

"That would be perfect, thank you." Addison smiled and nodded before she looked at Pete.

"Do you need anything from me as well?" Pete looked over at Naomi.

"Just your sperm." Naomi flashed him a smile.

Pete couldn't hide the smirk that formed on his lips. "You'll have it by tomorrow."

"Oh so cocky." Naomi rolled her eyes. "Don't go wasting any now."

"I'll try not to." He smiled.

"Good." Naomi nodded. "I'll have everything ready for you by ten." She smiled.

"I've got to go see my first patient." Pete looked down at Addison. "Do you want to have lunch together?"

"That sounds good." She nodded as they made their way from Naomi's office. "We've got a lot to talk about."

Pete and Addison sat across from each other in a café close to the practice when a waiter approached them and took their order. Once they were left alone, Addison turned to face Pete and placed her hands down on the table in front of her.

"So," Pete looked back at her and tapped his fingers against the table.

"We should talk." She nodded.

"We should," he agreed. "What do you think of Naomi's suggestion?"

"I…she's right. Naturally will improve our chances, but if it will make things too awkward for us we don't have to."

Pete nodded and looked down at his hands on the table as he thought about it. "The last thing I want is for us to be awkward around each other. But, I mean, we're both adults."

"We are," Addison agreed and nodded. "What do you think?"

"I think we should consider it. I mean if we can both be grown up about the situation and we, you know, keep it about the baby, then I think it could work."

"You're right and if it doesn't feel right then we don't have to carry on." She shrugged.

"We don't." Pete nodded.

"So," Addison shifted in her seat and looked at Pete, "do you want to wait until we start IVF or shall we start now?"

"Well, did Naomi find out when you're...you know...ovulating?" He looked back at her.

"I'm ovulating next week."

"Okay, then when would be the best time for us to try?"

"Anytime, I guess." She shrugged. "It doesn't matter when we start, so long as we're trying when I ovulate. I think we'd stand a better chance if we…you know…tried quite a lot."

"Yeah, you're right." Pete nodded slowly. "I guess we could start...today?"

"If you're free." Addison nodded.

"Your place?" He looked at her.

"Sure. Shall I make us some dinner?"

"Dinner sounds fine." Pete nodded.

Addison smiled softly. "What shall I make?"

"Anything, really. I'm not picky."

"I'll see what I have. Pete, I think that for now, we should keep this between us."

"Sure, if you want." Pete nodded.

"Just in case, you know, it doesn't work out." Slowly, Addison lowered her gaze to her hands on the table. She didn't want to think of that outcome. She only wanted to think of the positive.

"We'll be fine." He watched her.

"I hope so," she whispered.

"We will," he assured her and put his hand on top of hers. Addison looked at their hands before up at his face. "It'll be fun." Pete looked back at her and his lips curved into a smirk.

"Fun?" Addison smiled in amusement and raised an eyebrow.

"If we let it." He gave a small shrug, the smirk never leaving his lips.

"Oh, what it must be like to be in the head of Pete Wilder." She picked up her glass and took a long sip of water. Pete smiled at her words and leaned back in his chair as they waited for their food.

Pete couldn't help but feel a little nervous as he lifted his hand to knock on Addison's front door that night. It felt like an eternity until Addison slowly opened the door and smiled a shy smile at him as he walked inside.

"Hi." He gave a smile back and shrugged out of his leather jacket in the hallway. "Food smells really nice."

"I hope it tastes as good," she commented and padded back into the kitchen.

"I brought some wine." Pete held up the bottle as he followed her.

"Nae advised me off of alcohol for now." She smiled sheepishly as she began to dish up their food.

"Oh, right, sure." He nodded. "I hadn't thought of that."

"You can still have a glass, don't let me stop you." Addison reached into the cupboard and pulled out two glasses.

"It's alright." Pete shrugged. "Can I help with anything?"

"No, it's fine. You sit down. It's nearly ready." She smiled and continued to mill around the kitchen. He nodded and sat down as he watched her.

"Enjoy!" Addison announced a minute later as they both sat down to eat. Pete smiled as he lifted up his fork to take the first bite. She watched his face as she waited for his reaction to her cooking.

"Hmm, tastes good," he commented as he looked down at the plate.

"Good." She sighed in relief and began to eat as well.

"Were you worried?" Pete smiled.

"About cooking? Yes. I'm not a very good cook. I can do the basics and that's about it."

"Well, you definitely make good pasta."

"I'm glad." She smiled happily. Pete gave a smile back before he continued to eat.

Once they had both finished their pasta and had a slice of cake that Addison had bought especially, they moved into the living room. They sat down on the couch together and Pete cleared his throat.

"So," he began.

Addison nodded and tucked a strand of hair together. "Shall we go upstairs?" she asked.

"Sure." He nodded. "Wherever you're...more comfortable." She stood up from the couch and he followed her up the stairs and into her bedroom. Pete closed the door behind them before he turned and faced her.

"Are there any rules?"

"Rules?" Addison looked at him in confusion and titled her head to the side.

"Yeah, you know, like no kissing, for example." Pete looked back at her and tried his best to hide his nervousness. "I just don't want to do anything that makes you feel uncomfortable."

"Oh, I hadn't thought about that," she admitted. "I guess I have no rules. Do you?"

"No, I don't either." He shook his head and couldn't help but smile at the situation.

"Okay, I guess that's good." She nodded.

Pete nodded as well and took a few steps towards her. Addison watched him and took a step closer as well. He looked down into her face and hesitated before he leaned down to kiss her just as she moved her head as well. His kiss landed on her ear and she murmured an apology. Pete's forehead bumped against the side of her head and he pulled back slightly. She gingerly reached a hand up to rub her head and looked at him.

"I'm sorry," he apologised. "I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I didn't realise." She shook her head before she leaned in to kiss him. Pete closed his eyes as he felt her lips on his and hesitated before he reached forward to place his hands on her hips as she took a step closer and placed her hands on his chest. He slowly deepened the kiss and tried to move them towards the bed when they both started stumbling. Addison lost her footing and tumbled straight onto the bed with a squeal.

"Damn, sorry." Pete pulled back and looked down at her.

"It's okay." She shook her head and felt her cheeks burn.

"This is ridiculous," he sighed. "I'm good at this. We're good at this, right?" Addison nodded and bit down on her bottom lip as she sat up. Pete nodded as well and moved onto the bed.

"This isn't working, is it?" She turned her head and looked at him.

"No, we can do this." He looked at her. "I can do it better."

"It just feels…awkward right now."

"Do you want to stop?"

"I don't know." Addison blushed and glanced down. "Maybe we should try going on a date? Maybe things will be easier."

"Well, this was kind of a date."

"I suppose." She nodded.

"If you want to try this another time, that's alright." Pete shrugged.

Addison looked at him for a few moments before she took his face in her hands and kissed him. Pete's eyes shut close and he began to kiss her back softly. Slowly, she pulled him closer until they were both lying on her bed. He deepened the kiss and slowly ran his fingers through her hair as he hovered above her. She let her fingers move down his chest and slip under his shirt so she could feel his muscles. Pete's stomach flexed at her touch and he moved one of his hands slowly down her side until he reached the hem of her jeans.

With a little more ease, they managed to explore the other's body and rid each other of their clothes. Once they lay skin to skin Pete very gently moved his hands to explore her naked body. Addison was amazed at the amount of excitement that just his touch aroused in her. His hands were everywhere while his lips gently worked on her neck and she could already feel his erection brush against her lower stomach. His movements were slow and gentle which seemed to arouse Addison even more as she explored his body. Pete's mouth moved down her chest and to her breasts while he settled between her thighs.

A satisfied moan left her lips as he joined their bodies together and they both forgot the fact that they were only doing it for the sake of making a baby. Their bodies moved together in a perfect way, Pete's movements gentle against hers. They came at the same time before they lay in each other's arms, not wanting to move. They were both breathing heavily, enjoying the bliss that followed the heights they had just reached.

"Do you…do you think we made a baby?" Addison spoke softly, her eyes still closed in pleasure.

"Hmm, maybe," Pete breathed against her neck. "We'll just keep trying." She slowly nodded and turned her face towards his. He looked at her and lifted a hand to brush a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You can stay here you want to," she whispered and opened her eyes. "Save you driving all the way home."

"Are you sure?" Pete watched her. "I've got to drive back home before work tomorrow either way, though."

"I've heard there's a myth that morning sex ends in pregnancy," she spoke, quietly.

"Really? I've never heard that before."

Addison shrugged as she looked at him. "It's old."

"Well, we should probably give it a try." Pete looked back at her. "Just in case it's true."

"We should." She nodded. "We need to try everything."

"We do," Pete agreed. "We need to try quite a lot as well. So, I'll stay, so we can try again in the morning."

"That sounds like a good idea," she whispered.

Addison wandered along the hallway of the practice the next morning and pushed open the door to Naomi's office. She smiled softly and sat down on the couch in there. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" she asked.

"No, just catching up on some paper work." Naomi made a few notes in a patient's file before she looked up at her best friend and gave her a smile.

"Good. A great time for a chat then." Addison slipped her shoes off her feet and tucked her legs underneath her body.

"Sure." Naomi leaned back in her chair and looked at Addison, suspiciously. "I know that look. What happened?"

She shrugged and glanced down at the fresh bunch of flowers on the small table in the room. "We took your advice."

"You did?" Naomi smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Pete came over to mine last night. I cooked us some dinner and then we tried." Addison nodded.

"And?" She looked at her, wanting more details.

"It was amazing. He was so gentle with me."

"Really?" Naomi's lips curved into a smile.

"Really." Addison couldn't help but grin. "He knew exactly what I liked and he didn't even have to ask me."

"Who knew Pete would be such a gentleman."

"He was different to how I imagined him," she admitted.

"But in a good way?" Naomi watched her friend.

"In a very good way." Addison nodded. "A really good way."

"Oh you are so enjoying this now." Naomi grinned.

"No one said that I couldn't enjoy it at the same time," she pointed out. "It's not like I have anyone else to fulfil those needs now, do I? It's killing two birds with one stone. There's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"I never said there was." Naomi shrugged. "If it's what you want and as long as you both know what you're doing. You're both grown-ups."

Addison nodded. "We're trying to make a baby. That is what all of this is about, nothing else."

"If you say so." Naomi nodded and watched her friend closely.

"Thank you for doing this, Nae. It means a lot."

"I'm your friend and I'm a doctor. It's my job."

"Still." Addison shrugged. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Naomi gave a smile. "I know how much this means to you."

"I just really hope this works." Addison nodded and then let out a sigh. "I want to do something good in my life."

"You do good things every day, Addi."

"It's not the same." She shook her head. "It doesn't change my life really. I want to do something good that changes my life, not someone else's. I married Derek, but in the end I just ruined things for both of us. I did the same with Mark."

"I don't want you to get your hopes up only to end up disappointed. There's a chance, but it's a very slim chance," Naomi warned once again.

"I know there is and I've decided that if this doesn't work, I'll adopt."

"That's a great idea." Naomi smiled softly.

"Maybe I'll adopt anyway." She shrugged. "I've always wanted two children and I know that I may only end up with one by IVF so."

"Just give it some time first, it may take a while."

"I will." Addison nodded and looked at her friend.

"Good." Naomi smiled. "In the meanwhile you can enjoy the things that come with trying."

"Exactly." She grinned and then laughed.

Naomi smirked and shook her head at her friend. "You so have the hots for Pete," she giggled.

"No, I don't!" Addison protested.

"Oh you do, you are hot for Pete." She nodded. Addison rolled her eyes before she slid her feet back into her shoes and stood up. Naomi smiled and watched as her friend walked to the door that led out of her office.

Pete was sat on a stool in the kitchen that afternoon and sipped on his coffee while reading the newspaper when Sam walked in to grab something to eat.

"Hey." Sam nodded his head in Pete's direction as he opened the fridge to get his own lunch out.

"Hey." Pete glanced up as he turned the page.

"Busy day?" Sam asked as he sat down.

"Quite day actually, just waiting for my last patient."

"Not too bad then." Sam nodded. "Are you up for a drink tonight? Apparently Naomi is going over to Addison's for a girl's night."

"Sure, sounds good." Pete nodded. "Your place?"

"I'll see if the other guys want to come. We can have a game of poker."

"Sounds good, I need the distraction."

"Distraction from what?" Sam looked at his friend in confusion.

"I've just been thinking a lot lately." Pete shrugged.

"Uhoh." Sam raised an eyebrow. "Everyone better be worried, Pete Wilder has been thinking."

"Shut up." He rolled his eyes. "It's my family. Ever since my brother showed up I've just been thinking."

"About your mum?" Sam questioned before he ate another mouthful of food.

"No, not her." Pete shook his head. "My father. I've been thinking about looking for him."

Sam lowered his fork, shocked. "Your father? I thought you didn't even know who he was?"

"I know, I don't." He shrugged. "It was just a thought, I don't know."

"Does your mum know who he is?"

"I don't know. I gave up on asking her about him a very long time ago."

"How will you find out who he is? You can't look for him until you know," Sam pointed out.

"I haven't really thought about that. I don't even know if I want to find him."

Sam nodded slowly and looked at his friend. He had no idea that Adam turning up had had such an effect on Pete. He also had no idea that the real reason behind Pete wanting to know his father was that there was a chance he would become one.

"I just think that maybe it would help." Pete shrugged. "Maybe I'm just being ridiculous."

"Help with what?" Sam questioned.

"Just to know who he is, where part of me came from."

"That's not being ridiculous. If that's what you want to know, then find him."

"Yeah." Pete nodded. "Maybe I will."
