You guys are wonderfull. Thank you once again for all the reviews. They are the greatest gift to a writer (not that I am a writer, I just do it for fun). Here is the next chapter. I really hope everyone is liking this story as much as I am. I am almost done with the next chapter, so as soon as I see some nice and encouraging reviews I will update again (I know there is nothing more frustrating than hanging on for more chapters in a story). Remember I don't own any of the characters and all the mistakes are mine. Enjoy

Alex didn't know how long he was unconscious, but when he opened his eyes he couldn't see anything. He closed them and opened them again, letting them get adjusted to the darkness. He had a terrible headache and his body ached all over but he didn't believe anything was broken. Now he could distinguish things around the room a little better. He was in Addison's office, Addison! Alex couldn't believe how he momentarily forgot about her. He tried squinting his eyes to find her amount the fallen pieces of concrete walls, the dust, and different objects that were in his way. All of the sudden he saw a what looked like a human being a feet away from him, it had to be her. He crawled towards her, praying silently that she was okay.

"Addison, Addison, come on open your eyes for me" he now had her in his arms, but she was still unresponsive. He couldn't see any obvious serious injuries other than scratches in her legs and arms. "Addison come on, wake up" he brushed her hair from her face, which was now covered in dust, she started coughing so he got her in a sitting position with her back resting on his chest.

Addison felt disoriented, the last thing she remembered was kissing Alex and then running to her office, and now she was in his arms, but everything had changed around her. Her office was destroyed and everything was dark, her only comfort was that she wasn't alone, Alex was there holding her "Alex what happened?"

She had now stopped coughing but Alex refused to let go of her, so he just held her there "I don't know, I think I felt the ground shaking and then it was like the walls were collapsing on us, something hit my head.."

"Oh my god, are you okay?" She was worried she hadn't even though about asking if he was injured

"I'm fine, don't worry. How about you?"

"Fine" they stayed quiet for a few minutes, neither one knowing what to say, each one silently speculating what could have happened and what to do.

It was finally Alex who broke the silence "We need to get out of this office and find a way out that's the only way we'll find out what happened. Plus there are probably injured people and they'll need our help"

Despite the situation Addison felt her heart well in pride at his words, he was now a doctor and she was so proud of him. She just nodded and he started getting up, cautiously.

"Addison, just take my hand, we have to get closer to where the patients are, this area here is all offices and I doubt many doctors were in their offices at this hour of the night" she was now on her feet, holding Alex's hand like it was her lifeline. She didn't know how without wording her questions he knew what she needed to hear. She was worried, she didn't hear anything, there were patients in the hospital and doctors, there had to be people alive inside the hospital.

He sensed her anxiety and squeezed her hand making her look at his eyes. "We'll get out of here okay, I promise"

They started making their way through what was left of the hospital; Alex didn't know what to think. The small hall leading out of the offices area was almost destroyed; there were parts where they had to crawl because what was acting as a ceiling didn't give them a lot of options. He just hoped that not the whole hospital was like this.

After a little while of walking and crawling they finally saw a little light. Alex wanted to fasten the pace but Addison seemed so tire that they were actually going slower. He never let go of her hand and was constantly questioning if she was okay, to which he only got nods.

They finally got to one of the main areas of the hospital. The power was out, only the emergency lights were working, some windows were shattered but it seemed that whatever had caused the part of the hospital they were at collapse hadn't really affected this area, . There were a lot of doctors running around with flashlights, and patients being moved in gurneys, and Alex couldn't help but wonder why the emergency generator hadn't kicked in.

They immediately turned into doctor mode. Alex grabbed a flashlight from a nurse's desk and set on to find some information, never letting go of Addison's hand.

"Hey what's going on?" he asked a nurse who was in the process of moving a patient

"We don't know exactly, apparently a bomb went off in the east wing. We were ordered to get every single patient out of the hospital. I think they are being transferred to other hospitals, for now we just have to take them to the first floor, but its taking some time because the elevators are down"

Alex nodded and turned to Addison. "You okay to help out"

"Yeah, I am going to the NICU to help there, the batteries on the machines are not going to last long, we need to get those babies into another hospital, or at least somewhere with electricity" she grabbed a flashlight and started heading towards NICU when she noticed Alex was behind her

"What are you doing?"

"Going with you"

"Why"

"Because whether you like it or not Dr. Montgomery this is the specialty I choose, therefore I need to look out for those babies?"

She couldn't believe how stubborn he could be "Very well"

There were three nurses in the NICU moving the babies, as soon as she walked inside she let her presence known and took charge "listen I want the babies in the ventilator machines to be the first ones moved. Make sure they are relocated immediately. Start moving those; I will mark the rest of the incubators to let you know which babies need to go first. Come on people we have babies to save."

Everyone started moving following her orders including Alex, there were 36 babies in NICU out of which 16 had already been moved. Addison kept monitoring them and making sure the sickest ones were moved first.

She was now examining baby Analise McFarley, 29 week preemie, she would be in the next group to go when a sudden pain in her abdomen made her double over and made her so dizzy that she collapsed. She expected to hit the concrete ground but instead found herself in strong arms, Alex's arms.

"Addison what's wrong?"

The sudden pain was passing and she was able to talk "I am fine"

"You sure don't look fine, you're white as a sheet and you just collapsed. Were you injured back in your office and didn't tell me anything"

"No Alex, I wasn't." she was trying to keep him from getting worried but in reality she was scared to death, she was afraid she would lose her baby. Alex could give her a quick ultrasound in one of the machines that still had battery, but how to tell him in the middle of a crisis that she was pregnant with his baby. No that just wasn't a good idea, she was feeling better now, maybe it was just anxiety and the physical exertion that caused the pain, she silently prayed that her baby was fine

"Addison, maybe you should just get out of here and I'll take care of the babies" but of course she didn't want to; Alex couldn't believe how pig headed this woman was. She almost gave him a heart attack when he saw her falling to the floor. But now, she had gotten up without his help and was now instructing the nurses on the next three babies to take, it didn't go past him how she kept on supporting herself from the incubators, so he was determined to keep an eye on her even if she didn't want him to.

"Okay Addison, all the babies are out, now we need to get you out of here. Don't think for a second to tell me you are fine because you're not, you can barely stand on our feet" he didn't want to yell at her. He didn't intend to but that was exactly how it came out. "So come on" he went to put her arm around her waist to support her but she wouldn't move

"Alex I can't leave" he was about to protest when she added "not yet"

"What do you mean? I am telling you, you must have hit your head back in your office because something is off. But you know what lady; I am tired of doing your bidding. Now I am going to get you out of this hospital even if I have to carry you out." And that's exactly what he did, he swoop her into his arms and started walking.

"Alex, please I need your help" that got him to stop, she was grabbing onto his scrubs hard and he could feel the tears coming off her face. Then in a second she tensed and gasped as if feeling pain "Please Alex I need you to give me an ultrasound"

"A what? Ultrasound? That's crazy why would you need an ultrasound unless you are …. pregnant. Addison are you pregnant?"

She felt terror, now he knew, he knew she was pregnant, now he would probably run, like he always did because after all a baby entails responsibility, which he didn't like to take. But now was not the moment to think about that, now she needed him to make sure her baby was okay "Yes, I am. And I am having cramps and I just need to know my baby is okay, please Alex" the last part was more of a plead than anything else. He just nodded and started walking towards one of the exam rooms he knew had an ultrasound machine.

His mind was in turmoil, he didn't know what to think. She was pregnant, Addison was going to have a baby, a baby of Sloan, just the thought burn his soul. He felt her tense again and figure she had another cramp so he fastened his pace, no matter what he felt the need to comfort her because he loved her. "It's going to be all right, I promised" and he kissed her forehead.

They finally reached the room, Alex placed her carefully in the exam table, and he turned the machine on, thanking everyone who was listening that it still had some power left. He carefully lifted her blouse to apply the gel; his heart skipped a beat when he noticed the barely noticeable roundness of her stomach that wasn't there before. He then met her eyes, they were full of anguish and fear, he squeezed her hand but didn't say anything, he couldn't find words.

The ultrasound machine was ready, he started the exam with his right hand, while his left hand never let go of hers. Both their eyes were now glued to the screen, after what seemed like an eternity the sound of a heartbeat filled the silent room.

She brought her hand to her mouth and made a sound that sounded like a mixture of a cry and a laugh, "It's okay right?"

Alex didn't know why she was asking him, after all she was the specialist and he was just a student, but he thought she needed reassurance. "Yeah, everything looks fine. The cramps were probably due to stress, overworking and the recent scare we went through back in your office." He let go of her hand for a moment to point at the screen "see there, that's your baby"

She sat up in the exam table and took his hand into her "Alex is your baby too"

I hoped everyone liked the chapter. Please review and let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions (I take them very seriously). Thanks
