4 years later.

"Hello?" Addison yawned into her cell.

"Addie, it's me"

"Mark, hi, what's up?" she mumbled tiredly "It's…ok so it's only 9 and now I feel old but Carson has been really energetic today…."

"Addison it's Maya" Mark said cutting her off.

"Wha…what?" she stuttered, sitting up a little and wiping her eyes "Maya?"

"She's just been brought in by the paramedics, she's on vacation with her husband and her kid, their car got hit by a cab, it was a complete accident but, she's in a bad way Addie, her husband and kid are fine but, Maya's in a bad way…."

"What, what's going on now?"

"Derek has her in surgery, Amelia's in there too, her brain is bruised in some parts and swelling in others, but I think, I think she'll be fine, it's Derek and Amelia, they're the best"

"No, I know" Addison stuttered "I know, I should, I should get to the hospital"

"Are you sure? I can just call you…"

"No, I want to be there, can you call Callie for me and tell her I'm bringing Carson over?"

"Sure, I'll meet you at the hospital"

"Thanks Mark, bye" Addison sighed, she put her cell down and quickly slipped on some clothes, she dropped her cell into her bag and picked up the overnight bag she always had packed for Carson just in case she was called into the hospital at night, she quietly slipped into his room and carefully picked him up.

"Mommy?" he mumbled tiredly.

"Sshh honey, I'm sorry, Mommy has to go to the hospital, I'm gonna take you to Aunty Callie's, close your eyes baby"

"Mmhmm" he murmured, burying her face in her neck, Addison kissed against his hair before leaving the apartment.

"Hey" Addison breathed out as she met Mark at the nurses station on the surgical floor "How's it going?"

"They're working slowly but, effectively, do you want to go to the gallery?"

"No, no I should go and find Dink and Olivia, do you know where they are?"

"Over there" he said nodding in the direction of the surgical waiting area "Is his name really Dink?"

"Well, it's a nickname" Addison said with a small smirk "Will you keep us updated?"

"Of course" he said kissing her cheek "Good luck" Addison smiled a little at him before walking over to the waiting area where Dink sat with Olivia sleeping in the chair next to him, hugging his arm.

"Dink?" she said tentatively.

"Wow, it's been a while since somebody called me that" he said with a quiet laugh, turning to look at her "It's just Phil now"

"Phil" she said with a soft smile, taking the seat adjacent to his "Wow, look how grown up she is" she said looking over to Olivia.

"She's 6 now" he said with a proud smile "Thank you for the birthday presents by the way, I mean, Olivia doesn't really, remember you but, it always makes Maya happy so, thank you"

"I might not have been a great godmother to Maya since I left but, I'm not going to just forget about you all, it, it kills me that I've missed out on so much, even though leaving was, the right thing"

"I honestly don't blame you" he said quietly "She, she will be ok, won't she? Maya? I just, I can't, I won't be able to tell Liv if…."

"She will be ok" Addison said squeezing his hands in hers "Derek is the best of the best, and he won't let anything happen to her, she's family to him too"

"I just can't believe I'm here again" Phil whispered "I could lose her again"

"I know, it's, horrible, but she'll be ok" Addison said softly "Have you called, have you called…"

"Yeah" he nodded "They're coming out here as soon as they can, sorry if that's…"

"Hey, don't worry about me" she said with a slight laugh "They're her parents, they should be here"

"You don't have to sit here with me…"

"I know, but I will" she smiled, Phil nodded a little and let out a quiet laugh.

~x~

"Phil, Addie" Derek said with a small smile as he walked into the waiting area hours later with Amelia, Addison yawned a little and turned to him.

"So…?" Phil said nervously.

"She's stable" Derek nodded "I released the pressure on her brain, but I'm going to have to wait for a few hours to see if any more work needs to be done, we're going to keep her on a ventilator until we know that she doesn't for sure, and after that it might take her a little while to wake up, but things are looking positive under the circumstances, I'd suggest you get some sleep"

"I want, I want to see her" he stuttered "Can't I, stay with her?"

"I'll call upstairs and get the nurses to set up a bed" Amelia said with a small smile.

"Mmm, Daddy?" Olivia mumbled as she slowly wake "Is Mommy ok?"

"She's still sick bumble bee but she's getting better, she just needs to have a long sleep" he said gently, stroking some hair from her face "Do you remember who this is?" he said nodding in Addison's direction.

"It's, it's Aunty Addison" Olivia whispered "From the picture Mommy has on the fireplace and, and who sends me presents, and who, who helped me and Mommy when we was sick"

"That's right" Phil smiled "And that's Amelia, she helped when you and Mommy were sick too, and she just helped your Mom's Uncle Derek in surgery, do you want to say thank you?"

"Thank you Amelia" Olivia said shyly, hiding her face a little in Phil's arm.

"No problem sweetie" Amelia smiled "I'll go and get that bed organised"

"And I'll go and get Maya settled into her room" Derek nodded "Addie can you bring them up to ICU in 15 minutes?"

"Sure" Addison smiled, as Derek and Amelia left Olivia stood up and walked closer to Addison, stopping just short of her "Hi sweetheart" Addison said softly "You look, so grown up, and so like your Mommy did when she was 6"

"Thank you for helping me be borned" Olivia mumbled as she wrapped her arms tightly around Addison.

"No problem honey" Addison laughed softly, returning the hug tightly.

"Hey" Callie smiled as she joined Addison in the coffee cart line the following afternoon.

"Hey" Addison smiled back "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, everything's great, just had a very successful surgery so I'm kind of on a high right now"

"Good" Addison chuckled lightly "I've got a Mom in a very slow labour, she's been at it for almost 20 hours now"

"Wow, I would not want to be her" Callie laughed, they paid for their coffees and started to walk across the overpass.

"Addie" Amelia said running up to them "They're here, Sam and Naomi, they're here, they're talking to Derek right now outside Maya's room"

"Oh god" Addison muttered "Ok, tell me what to do"

"Act normal" Callie said simply "Go to Maya's room, just to ask how she is, be polite and civil and before you know it, they'll be gone"

"Go with that" Amelia said patting her arm "Now go"

"Ok" Addison breathed out, she sent them a nervous smile before walking away from them.

"This isn't going to go well is it?" Callie sighed.

"Nope" Amelia replied.
