Addison was implanted with two of her embryos four days after Sofia and Callie were released from the hospital. The next two weeks were a waiting game of seeing if any would take and she would be pregnant. She spent a lot of time talking to her friends in Seattle about the wedding preparations. With the way the timing of everything was working out, Addison would be taking a pregnancy test the day before she flew to Seattle for the weekend.
Sam was still very on edge about the prospect of Addison being pregnant; he constantly reminded her that there was a chance that she wouldn't get pregnant and that was fine with him if she didn't.
Packing her suitcase two days before flying out, Sam sat on the bed, watching her. "Are you sure you don't want to come with me? You're more than welcome to. Everyone else is bringing someone & I really want you to come," Addison asked while folding a blouse.
Sighing, Sam replied, "How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want to go because of the timing of your IVF. If you are pregnant, you're going to want to talk about and if you're not, you're going to want to talk about trying again. I think it would be best for me to stay here and give you some space if you need it. Besides, Derek and Mark are probably too busy to really talk and I don't really know anyone else in Seattle."
"Fine, will you at least go to the appointment with me tomorrow morning. I know you don't want me to be doing this, but I might need some extra support even though I said I can do this on my own, I also know you care about how this turns out."
"Considering the appointment is just in the office next to mine, I guess I can go with you. I don't really want to, but I'll go," Sam said as he pulled Addison back onto the bed with himself.
Addison sat, bouncing her leg as Dr. Reilly drew blood for the pregnancy test. She knew she would be nervous about the outcome, but she didn't realize how anxious she would really be until she walked into the practice that morning. Jake walked back into the office and sat down at the desk, opening a file folder. "Are you ready to find out if you're going to have a baby or not, Addison?"
Nervously, she nodded and secretly wished Sam would at least hold her hand instead of sitting with them in his lap. "Congratulations, Addison. The IVF worked and you're pregnant."
As soon as Sam heard the word "congratulations," he got up and walked out of the room, leaving Addison sit stunned, not only at the news that she was pregnant, but also that he walked out on her. "Thanks, Jake. I have to go talk to him. I knew it wouldn't turn out good with him if I was pregnant."
After checking his office and finding it empty, Addison went home, figuring he might be there. He was, and he was packing his things. "I can't do this, Addison," he said when she walked into the room. "I'll stay somewhere else, but I can't be with you right now. I need to think about everything. Have fun in Seattle."
The next night, Teddy left the hospital early to make sure she would be on time to pick Addison up at the airport. Seeing she had just a carry-on size suitcase, Teddy seemed almost relieved. She had heard stories about how much luggage Addison tended to take when she traveled.
Giving her a hug, she said, "Travelling light, I see."
"Yeah, right. I've got another that I need to pick up from baggage claim. Is it cool if I stay with you longer than just the weekend? I'm thinking about moving back to Seattle. I just can't handle LA for much longer. Do you think we could stop by the hospital on the way so I can talk to the Chief about getting a job again?"
"You can stay as long as you need. Let's get your suitcase and head to the hospital. I want to hear about why you hate LA all of a sudden."
The two women spent the evening eating Chinese takeout and talking about Addison's drama with Sam and being pregnant and Teddy's being with both Henry and Andrew.
The Chief was glad to hear Addison was looking to return to Seattle and immediately offered her a position. He didn't ask questions about her decision to return, unlike some other people.
Teddy agreed to not tell anyone about the pregnancy or talk about it at the hospital until after Addison told everyone, which wouldn't be for a while.
Addison was insistent that since she was going to be staying with Teddy for more than just a weekend, she would pay rent of some sort. Teddy also offered to drive her truck down to LA with Addison to get the rest of her things. Addison decided that she would sell her beach house, even though Teddy suggested she keep it as a vacation house. As wonderful as that sounded, she couldn't bear the thought of going on vacation to a beach house, intending to relax, with Sam living next-door, especially because she'd probably be going once the baby was born and the baby was the reason for their break up.
