I DO NOT OWN PRIVATE PRACTICE. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. THE FOLLOWING IS STRICTLY FAN FICTION.
It took Cooper twenty minutes to convince Violet to come to work. He had known her for a long time, long enough to know when she was sick and when she was just trying to avoid something or someone. And she was definitely not sick.
"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Cooper asked as he drove Violet into work. She shook her head as he sighed, "very well."
She sighed and turned to him, "I'm pregnant."
He laughed and glanced at her stomach, "well I sort of noticed Violet, it's not really a secret, you're like the size of a basketball."
"I meant I'm pregnant and I know who the father is."
Cooper pulled the car over and stopped. He looked her in the eye and smiled, "well who is it?"
"I can't say."
"You say that and don't tell me?"
"I can't Cooper."
Cooper sighed, he wouldn't press the issue. When she was ready to tell him what was wrong, she would. She always did. After all, they were best friends. He shook his head as he pull back onto the road and continued to drive. He tapped his fingers on the wheel as he wondered who it may be. Sheldon or Pete, Pete or Sheldon.
"Sheldon?"
"What?" Violet said as she turned to him.
"Pete? Sheldon? Pete?"
"Cooper, what are you doing?"
"Seeing if you show any signs of who it is, possibly a smile or a twitch or something."
"Shut up and drive," Violet said as she rolled her eyes and ignored her friend.

"You okay?" Naomi asked as Addison walked into the office very jumpy and on edge. "You need to talk."
"Talk? Talk no, no talking about sex? No, no sex, I uh- I have a patient," she stopped when Naomi grabbed her arm and lead her into her office, closing the door behind her. Addison took a deep breath, walked to her office and shrugged, "what?"
"What? What do you mean what? You know very well what I want to know," Naomi replied.
Addison bit her lip and sighed, "I slept with Noah."
"You didn't!" Naomi gasped, "Addison…"
"I know I know."
There was an awkward paused between the two of them until Naomi looked over at her and grinned, "was it good?"
"Incredible."
"Spill."

Dell looked up as a tall, broad man entered the practice and headed over him and a million dollar smile, "hello I am looking for Doctor Bennett."
"Naomi or Sam?"
"Morgan?" they turned to see Sam say as he headed towards the man. He hugged the man and smiled as he introduced him to Dell, "Dell this is my old university roommate Morgan Heller, Morgan this is Dell."
Dell shook his hand and after a moment of silence grabbed a folder and walked off. Morgan smiled as he turned to Sam, "so how's the wife and kid."
"Maya is doing great."
"And your wife?"
"Naomi and I are divorced."
"Oh Sam, I am so sorry to hear that."
"It's fine," Sam said as Naomi walked out of Addison's office. "Naomi, you remember Morgan Heller."
Naomi smiled, "Morgan, of course."
He gave her a hug as Sam looked at his watch, "Oh, look Morgan, I've got to go I am late to see a patient. Did you want to meet up a lunch?"
"Of course, I'll be here and you can take me to your favourite restaurant."
"It's a deal."
Morgan watched as Sam left and then turned to Naomi with a wide smile, "so I hear you and Sam are divorced."
"Yes, that's correct."
"That's a shame, I mean on his part. Look, I know it might be sudden but could I take you out to dinner tonight?"
"Like on a date."
"If you want."
"Yes, I think I'd like that. Here's my address," Naomi said writing it down on a pad of paper and handing the piece to him, "seven sound good."
"It sounds great," he gave her a kiss on the check before he left words the elevator and got on as he passed Violet and Cooper who entered the office.
"Oh come on please Violet," Cooper said as Naomi watched them walk over and grab their files.
"No."
"What's going on?" Naomi smiled. She frowned as they both answered in unison, "nothing."
She shrugged, "okay then."
She handed Pete his files as he walked by and could help but notice Violet's eyes shoot open as she coughed on her coffee.
"You okay?" Pete asked her.
Violet nodded and swiftly walked away from him, avoiding eye contact. Naomi raised an eyebrow and sighed, she didn't want to know.
