1 week later.
"You've been avoiding me" Sam said simply as he stepped into Addison's office.
"What? No I haven't" Addison scoffed.
"Oh really" he smirked.
"I've just, been busy" she shrugged.
"Ok, whats wrong?" he frowned.
"Nothing, nothings wrong"
"I knew this would happen, you're freaking out aren't you"
"I'm no…." before Addison could finish she grabbed the trash can that sat beside her desk and emptied the contents of her stomach into it.
"Oh my god, are you ok?!" Sam said rushing to her side "Are you sick?" he said holding his hand up to her forehead.
"I'm fine" she whispered wiping her mouth with a tissue "Probably ate some bad sea food or something"
"You don't eat seafood" he smirked "What's wrong babe?"
"Noth…." she stopped as she threw up again, Sam held her hair back from her face and rubbed her back softly.
"You're not pregnant are you?" he joked, his face dropped from amused to serious when she didn't move from her hunched over position "Addison" he said seriously "You, you're not, right? Because you can't, you can't be, that's why we didn't, your not right?"
Addison sat up and wiped her mouth again, she opened the top drawer of her desk and pulled out the ultrasound picture, she handed it over to him without looking him in the eye.
"I'm 6 weeks, that's from a week ago" she whispered "I had Violet help me do it, she found me puking in the bathroom so, she knows and then she figured out that it was yours by herself, she knows everything"
Sam slowly walked over to one of the arm chairs and sat down, his elbows resting on his legs as he leaned forward not looking away from the picture.
"Sam" Addison sighed, he didn't move "Sam" he kept his focus solely on the scan.
"I'm going to uh, clean this up" she said standing up with the trash can "I'll be back"
When Addison returned Sam was still sat in the same position, she sighed heavily "Sam" no reaction. She moved round to sit at her desk and pulled out some files, she began to work through them, every so often glancing over at the frozen man in front of her.
~x~
"Hey" Violet said walking into the office "Oh, I'm not interrupting am I?"
"No" Addison said putting the file she was reading down "He's been like that for….twenty...three minutes" she sighed looking at her watch "It's actually starting to worry me a little bit"
Violet walked further into the office, she knelt down on the floor in front of Sam.
"Sam" she said firmly, he didn't move "Sam" he stayed still, she snatched the picture from his hands and smacked him on the head.
"Ah!" he exclaimed.
"Now that I have your attention" she smirked "I think there's a conversation that needs to be had"
"Right, right, yeah" he stuttered.
"Can we get Sheldon in here?" said Addison.
"Sheldon? Why?" asked Sam.
"He's my unofficial elevator shrink, don't ask" she sighed.
"Right, you two go and wait in my office, I'll get Sheldon" said Violet.
"Your office? Why can't we just stay here?" Addison frowned.
"Because she wants to go full on therapy session with us" Sam mumbled.
"Damn straight" said Violet "Be back soon" she said leaving the room.
"Addison I…."
"We should go and wait" Addison said cutting him off.
~x~
"Ok, so, Violet has informed me of the little development in your relationship" Sheldon started "Where exactly would you like to start?"
"I'm keeping the baby" Addison blurted quickly.
"I didn't think otherwise" Sam said quietly.
"Oh, ok then, that's, ok" Addison stuttered.
"What we really need to talk about is the next step, you're going to have to tell her" Violet said softly.
"This is a mess" Addison sighed burying her face in her hands "I've been going over and over in my head for 7 weeks how I was going to tell her that we were together, none of those situations ended well and now, now I might as well hand her the tattoo gun so she can write 'Worst. Person. Ever.' across my forehead in big black letters"
"You are not the worst person ever" Sam sighed.
"I am, she told me I would be, the day, the day I told you we couldn't do this, I'd spoken to her, brought 'us' up in conversation, said that the way we were acting, talking about all the Maya stuff it was like we were a couple, she laughed in my face Sam, hysterical laughter, said if I ever did anything with you I'd be the worst person ever, husbands best friend, best friends husband, Worst. Person. Ever."
"I'm not her husband"
"That's not the point!" Addison exclaimed "You were her husband Sam, I was Maid of freaking Honor at the wedding! Look around you Sam, this isn't good, we shouldn't be in love with each other, we shouldn't be sleeping together and we sure as hell shouldn't be having a baby together"
"But you are" said Sheldon "You are doing those things Addison, there is no way out of this, when these feelings arose you had a choice to make and by sleeping with him you chose Sam, all you can do now is tell her and, hope for the best"
"That's not a helpful response" Addison mumbled.
"Well it's what you're getting so, you need to make a decision, who's telling her"
"Me" both Sam and Addison said quickly.
"You need to tell Maya, she's coming in for an appointment with Dell in 10 minutes, I'll tell Naomi" Addison said quietly.
"We should do it together"
"No, I have to do this Sam"
"But…."
"No Sam! I am doing this, by myself, you need to explain to Maya that I've just thrown another spanner into her relationship with her parents"
"We Addie, we did this, we're together now ok? I'll let you tell her on your own if you really want, I'm not happy about it but go ahead, I'll be on hand if you need me"
"Ok, I'm going upstairs" Addison said standing up.
"Now?!" Violet exclaimed.
"It's now or never" Addison mumbled walking out of the room.
~x~
"Ok, Maya, I'm going to talk to you like an adult, you're getting married, you're having a baby, you're an adult so I'm going to talk to you like one ok?"
"Ok" Maya said slowly "What's up Dad?"
"Well, you see the thing is, Aunt Addison and I, me and Addison, we, well, we"
"Are a couple" Maya finished.
"How did you…."
"Imagine my surprise when I walk onto my Dad's deck to see my Dad and Aunty kissing the hell out of each other out on hers" she smirked.
"Oh" Sam said simply "Right"
"I'm ok with it" Maya shrugged "Mom, Mom is going to freak out"
"Yeah, she is" Sam sighed "Addison's with her now"
"On her own?! Are you crazy?!"
"She wanted me to talk to you because the thing is…."
"There's more?!"
"Yeah, there's more" Sam sighed heavily "Your Aunt Addison, is, she's, she's 6 weeks pregnant"
"Oh my god" Maya gasped "Dad! That's, that's, oh my god!"
"I know you and your Mom aren't exactly on speaking terms right now but you have to promise me you won't choose sides because there are going to be sides Maya"
"I know, I promise, I promise Dad"
"Thank you" Sam said moving over to sit next to her and hugging her tightly.
"So, my baby's going to have an Aunt or Uncle who's a few months younger huh?"
"Yeah, yeah I guess they are" Sam chuckled.
"That's pretty cool" Maya shrugged "I should go, Dells going to do another ultrasound"
"Don't tell him, we're going to do that later, make sure you tell me how it goes"
"Ok" Maya nodded, she kissed him on the cheek and stood up "Tell Aunty Addison I've got her back"
"I will" Sam smiled softly "Love you"
"Love you too"
~x~
"Nae, I need to talk to you" Addison said stepping into her office.
"Sure, come in" Naomi smiled.
"No, don't do that, don't smile" Addison sighed "I just want you to know that I love you Naomi, you are my best friend, my sister and I would never intentionally hurt you"
"Ok what's wrong Addie?" Naomi said with a shaky voice.
"I'm 6 weeks pregnant" Addison whispered.
"Oh my god Addison thats…."
"No, don't congratulate me, just don't" Addison said firmly.
"Addie whatever it is you can tell me"
"I'm so sorry Nae" Addison whispered.
"Addison, you're really freaking me out right now"
"I've been sleeping with Sam, I'm in love with him" Addison said quickly.
"What?" Naomi gasped.
"We've been together, for 7 weeks, over the past few months we've, we've been, falling for each other, we tried to stop it, I wanted to stop it but, it just happened and, I hate that it did, I don't want to love him but I do, I do and and, please say something"
"Get out" Naomi whispered.
"Naomi…."
"Get the hell out of my office, the hell out of my practice and the hell out of my life, shame on you"
"Naomi I…."
"Shame. On. You." Naomi said a little louder.
"I'm sorry" Addison whimpered as she backed out of the office "I'm so sorry"
~x~
Addison slowly made her way back to the 5th floor, she walked through to her office completely ignoring her surroundings, she didn't flinch when her office door opened and closed, she didn't move from where she stood staring at the wall until Sam wrapped his arms around her, she sobbed hard into his chest, he sat down on the couch and pulled her on top of him cradling her like a child, she held him tightly, he stroked his fingers through her hair and rubbed her back softly.
"We'll get through it Addie" he said quietly.
"It's not supposed to be like this" she cried.
"I know, I know, we'll get through it, I love you, I love you and I love our baby, I love you Addie"
"I love you too" she whispered.
