"What?" He couldn't believe his ears, she was probably messing with him. Alex was sure she hit her head, because certainly she didn't just say that this was his baby too.

"Is your baby too" Addison knew it was a mistake confessing it to him but she couldn't help it, and now there was no backing out.

He let go of her hand and took a step back "That's not possible we were only together that once time"

"Oh for crying out loud you better than anyone knows that one time is all it takes"

"Yeah okay that's true, but how do you know is my baby and not Sloan's? I mean after all that day you did say basically that you were going to go find him and screw him."

If he would have been closer she would have slapped him "You are such an asshole"

"Yeah, I might be an asshole, but I am right, aren't I? You screwed Sloan and who knows who else and now you don't know who is the father but you thought to blame it on me because I am the lowly intern right?" he was being hard, too hard on her but he didn't know what else to say so he just spitted out insults even though his heart was breaking because he was hurting her.

Addison was speechless, how could he say those things to her! Tears where slowly escaping her eyes even though she was trying to keep them from spilling out, she didn't want to look weak in front of him. She wiped the gel and pulled down her shirt. She didn't need to spend any more time with him.

He saw her getting ready to leave and his heart broke a little more, he expected her to insult him and hit him but she was crying, silently crying. He couldn't take seeing her like that, and yet there he stood, doing nothing as she pulled down her shirt and got up from the exam table. He could see the tears falling down her face and her hand wiping them away, no matter what Alex would always admire her strength. As soon as she got on her two feet however, he saw how dizzy she became and held her by her waist to make sure she didn't fall, she was trying to fight him and get free of his grasp but he wouldn't let her. "Stop, it. Let me help you"

"Why? So you can keep insulting me. No thank you. Let me go"

"Addison, let me help you. If not for you do it for the baby"

"Oh you mean for Mark's baby. No I am sorry I forgot it could be anyone's baby because after all I am whore who goes around sleeping with any man she sees right?"

"Stop it, I am sorry. I shouldn't have said those things" that seemed to calm her a little bit " I know it was horrible to say. I don't think you're a whore. But you got to admit that night you told me you were going off to find Sloan and sleep with him"

Addison couldn't dispute that "But I didn't"

He still had his arms wrapped around her waist with her back against him so he couldn't see her face, but he could tell she was still crying. Was it possible that this could really be his baby? He was scared, scared that he was going to be a father, because after all what did he know about being a father? Nothing. But surprisingly enough he was more scared that it wouldn't be his baby. Wasn't that crazy.

Addison must have thought his silence meant he wanted and explanation so she offered one "That night I went to the hotel room and slept alone. I haven't had sex since then, so you see I am 100% sure this is your baby."

"When did you find out?"

"About a week and a half ago"

"Is that why you've been in a bitchy mood?" She chuckled at that, he knew she would

"I guess I have been in a bitchy mood. Sorry about that"

"Its okay, is not so different than your usual self"

She turned around and lightly hit him on the chest but with a little smile on her face "Hey I resent that"

"I know" they were now face to face. He wiped the tears from her face and smiled "I am sorry" she just nodded in response "you feeling better?"

"A little"

"I think we need to get out of this hospital. You need to be examined in another hospital with working equipment to make sure everything is fine and the you need to take a shower and rest and then we need to talk"

"Alex I am more than capable of handling this baby myself. I don't need anything from you. I just thought you should know"

"I think we should leave this conversation for when you're feeling better seeing as how our conversations always end up in loud arguments" she nodded and that's how Alex knew she wasn't feeling good at all because she would never let him have the last word, she was after all a world renounce surgeon and he was just an intern. "Let's go then" she made a move to walk on her own but he wouldn't let go, so they started walking towards the stairs with Alex's arm around her waist.

The first thing she realized when they got out of the exam room was how quiet the hospital was. Everyone on that floor must have been evacuated by now. They slowly made their way to the stairs, only stopping twice when a pain hit her. She was still worried about the baby but at least she knew it could wait until she got out of this hospital and to another where a proper exam could be done.

They were almost to the second floor when the door opened to reveal a man with a ski mask and a machine gun in his hands. At first he didn't seem to have notice them since he was looking down at the first floor. Without uttering a word Alex and Addison started going back towards the third floor hoping to get out of this man's sight, but it was impossible.

"You too, stop right there or I'll shoot you" his voice was deep and his tone determined. Both doctors turned around slowly "put your hands where I can see them and slowly come down to me"

They did as they were told. Alex kept looking at Addison and back at the masked man. This was the last thing the needed "Hey man, we are not doing anything. We are just doctors heading for the exit you know?"

"Doctors, even better. Shut up and keep walking" They reached the level the man was in, he searched them both and seemed happy not to find anything. He opened the door he had come through and pushed them inside

"Hey easy man" Alex knew they were in trouble. This man had no intention of letting them go. He looked over at Addison but her face didn't tell him anything. The only indication she gave of any type of feeling were sudden intakes of breath, which he knew it meant she was in pain. Damn it, he hated feeling so helpless. "Where are you taking us?"

"To be with some fellow colleagues of yours. And shut up; follow your lady doctor's example" Alex decided it was best to do what he said. There was no reason to aggravate this man. They finally reached the main conference room. There were three more man with similar ski masks and guns. They were ushered into the back of the conference room where he could see several other people sitting in the floor "sit down and don't speak." They did as they were told, almost without looking at each other. Upon a closer look Alex recognized two nurses from the fifth floor, Dr. Brown from ortho, an older man he didn't recognize and Izzie. Alex couldn't believe it, Izzie was in here too, being held hostage.

This had just turned into the worse day of her life, not only did her office collapsed on top of her but now she was being held hostage by man who she was sure had some ill intentions. But she knew in these types of situations you couldn't show fear, it gave them the advantage over you. So even though she was terrified and wanted to have the reassuring feeling that Alex's touch provided her she moved away when he tried to touch her, who knows they might use it against them. She looked over to her right to look at the rest of the staff and felt horrible because she knew each one of them, including a scared looking Izzie Stevens.

The minutes went by and all they did was sit. All four men walked around the room without saying a word. Each one armed and with deadly looks in their faces. After what seemed like an eternity the taller one took out of a cell phone from his pocket and said "It's time" the other three nodded and the one with the phone approached the group on the floor "You should know that we are responsible for the bomb that went off earlier in this hospital. We have more devices ready to be detonated. There is another group of hostages somewhere else in the building, most of them a sick people who need medical attention as soon as possible. I am going to need one of you to help along with the negotiations and if all our demands are met no one else needs to get hurt. Don't try anything funny because my man will not hesitate to put a bullet in your brain. Like I said, we have enough hostages. Now, you come with me" he pointed at Izzie.

She didn't get up, as If she was in shock. The man kept repeating for her to get up and grew aggravated since she didn't move. "Stupid woman, I said get up" when she didn't move an inch he got close to her and slapped her.

"Stop" Alex couldn't take it anymore. He was now standing in front of the man "Can't you see she's in shock. Leave her alone" the man didn't pay attention to him and kept on trying to get a response out of Izzie. Alex didn't back down and was about to hit the man when another one of the gunman approached him and hit him in the head with the back of his gun making him crumble to the floor. He obviously cared a lot about Stevens to risk his safety for her and she couldn't ignore that.

Addison was about to cry out for Alex, but it was too late he was already on the floor unconscious, she couldn't let them kill him and that was going to happen unless she did something. So she got up from her spot on the floor, holding on to the wall for balance until the room wasn't spinning around her anymore. "Please stop. That poor girl is in shock and won't move even if you kill her. I'll help with the negotiations. They will listen to me more than her, she is just an intern and I am an attending. Please" the tall man seemed to be thinking about it and for that she was grateful. She had no idea what she was going to do later but at least she prevented him from getting so frustrated with Stevens as to cause him to kill her.

"Why would you be more convincing?"

"I am an attending here. I will help you. Just please leave her alone" she didn't know how she managed to sound so secure, but she did

"Very well, and what's your name?" he moved away from Izzie and towards her, if the wall wasn't behind her she would have taken a step back because the man was menacing.

"Addison Montgomery. Dr. Addison Montgomery"

"Very well Dr. follow me"

Addison did as told, but couldn't help to look back. She saw Alex's unconscious figured on the floor and couldn't help be feel that this was the last time she would see him.
