Thanks to everyone who's read this, especially those who've reviewed but also everyone who's added it to their favourites or alerts list. This is one of the only fics I've really enjoyed writing.

Addison spent the next morning at the practice catching up with Naomi. She explained how the practice was set up and how it worked, and Addison couldn't help but find the change here refreshing. Just after one, she left her old friend and met Pete outside, ready for her afternoon.

"So, where are we going first?" She asked as they started walking.

Pete shrugged. "You'll find out soon enough."

"So I don't even get a clue?"

He laughed. "Nope. Just be patient." He led her down a side road and they walked next to each other. He filled her in about how his line of medicine worked, and how he believed it was a lot better than the mainstream. She'd always found it hard to understand alternative medicine and why anyone would prefer it to what she did, but he made her look at it in a different light. After they'd been walking for about ten minutes they rounded a corner and looked out over the sea.

"Wow," she said, amazed. "It's beautiful."

"Yeah, it is," he agreed. "I get to look at that every day."

She glared at him. "Well I get New York City, that's pretty amazing too, you know."

"I'm sure it is," he replied unconvinced.

"Have you ever been to New York?"

He shook his head. "Not for a long time."

Addison nodded. "You should come over some time, I'll show you around. Trust me, you'll love it."

"I may have to take you up on that offer." He smiled.

They watched the water for a while, before walking down to a small cafe by the beach. They ordered and sat down at the window table looking over the beach, waiting for their lunch to arrive. Pete watched her eyes staring out at the ocean, and tried to decide whether or not to ask her about her life back in New York. Naomi had told him, and the others at Oceanside, about her husband's death two years ago, and he wasn't sure how sore the subject would be if he asked her. She looked round at him and smiled, and he decided it was worth the risk.

"Naomi told me about what happened with Derek," he said and her eyes dropped to the table. He immediately regretted what he'd said. "Addison I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. We can talk about something else."

"No." She looked back up at him. "It's fine. Everyone is scared of talking to me about what happened in case I freak out, sometimes I just wish they'd treat me like I'm not someone who lost their husband."

Pete nodded. "I know how you feel."

"You do?" He nodded. "What happened?"

"Nine years ago, my wife." He paused. "She died. At the time everyone kept asking how I was, but then they just stopped. Nobody ever mentions it anymore, I think they think I can't take it."

"I'm sorry Pete, I didn't know," she squeezed his hand.

"It's fine," He took a deep breath. "Well we certainly know how to have a good time!" He joked and smiled.

Addison rolled her eyes. "We certainly do."

A few seconds later their food arrived, and they sat in silence whilst eating. After they'd both finished he led her out and onto the beach. "Just let me know when you feel like going back," Pete said as they walked along the beach.

"Not just yet," she replied. She leant down and took off her shoes, then grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's go." She grinned and started running towards the sea.

"Addison, no!" He yelled but she wouldn't stop and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't stop himself laughing. Maybe she was the person who would finally get him back on track.

"Oh my god," Mark rolled his eyes as Pete and Addison walked back into the practice building. They were both soaking wet from being in the sea, but both had huge smiles plastered on their faces.

"What?" Addison asked innocently.

Mark shook his head and laughed. "You should see what you two look like."

Pete and Addison looked at each other and shrugged. "You're no fun, Mark." She smiled. Mark rolled his eyes again and walked back into the kitchen to see Sam and Cooper. Pete led Addison along to his office and they both collapsed on the couch.

"Well this was fun," he sighed.

"Yeah, it was," she turned to face him. "Thank you."

"Anytime."

"So, umm," she hesitated. "We've done lunch, I think next is dinner."

He raised his eyebrows. "Are you asking me out?"

Addison shrugged. "Maybe I am."

"Well I say yes," he smiled and hugged her. "I'll pick you up at seven, okay?"

"Okay." She stood up. "I should go get ready then."

"Adds, you have like three hours," he stood up next to her.

"I know. But I need to look nice!"

Just before seven that evening, Addison heard a knock at her door. She was ready (only just, but she was still ready) and she ran to open the door. She smiled when she saw Pete, and she grabbed his hand pulling him inside.

"Just let me get my bag and we can go," she smiled and he nodded.

He took her to a small restaurant on one of the side streets leading from the beach. They were shown to their table, which was set under a large canopy outside, looking straight out over the beach and ocean. After they'd eaten their meal Pete took her hand and led her down onto the beach. They were a little further down from where they'd been that morning, and the area was quiet; they were the only ones there. They walked down a bit and then he stopped, pulling her into him.

"Thank you for dinner," she whispered against his chest.

"You're welcome," he replied, wrapping his arms around her. They stood there for a while before she pulled back and looked up into his eyes. She linked her arms around his neck and her gaze dropped to his lips. That was all the encouragement he needed and before she knew it he was kissing her. She hesitated at first, she hadn't been with anyone since Derek, but gave in after a couple of seconds and kissed him back. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip, begging for entrance, and she opened her mouth deepening the kiss. After a while she pulled back, the need for air had become too much and she silently cursed whoever had made breathing so important, and looked up into his eyes.

They stood in silence for a while, just watching each other closely. Addison wasn't sure how this would work out, after all she was leaving in a few days and she was wary of being with anyone else after what had happened with Derek, but she was curious of the feeling she was getting so near to Pete. She felt safe and content, like finally she was allowed to move on.

Pete leant down and kissed her cheek gently, before whispering in her ear. "You want to come back to mine?"

She nodded, finding it suddenly hard to speak. He ran his hand down her arm and linked his fingers through hers, leading her back up the beach.

"Mark do we really have to go back?" Addison asked for what felt to Mark to be the millionth time that day.

"Yes, Addison, we really have to go back," he replied, not looking up.

Their bags were packed and stood next to the door. The cab was supposed to be picking them up in half an hour, and Pete still hadn't arrived to say goodbye. The last few days had been amazing, she'd spent most of the time with Pete, sometimes alone but often with the other people from Oceanside and Mark. Just as she felt she could live like that forever, the day had come for her and Mark to return to New York.

She jumped up as she heard a knock at the door. She ran to it and opened it, throwing her arms around Pete and grinning. "What took you so long?" She asked, pulling him back into the apartment.

"I was sorting something out with Nae," he replied as if it were nothing important.

"But I'm leaving in," she looked at her watch. "Half an hour. I wanted a proper goodbye."

"You don't need it," he started to smile.

"Oh, well fine, if you're going to be like that just go." Just then she noticed his smile. "What are you smiling at?" She asked suspiciously.

"Well I was thinking, instead of you going back, you could work here. At Oceanside. With us," his smiled widened.

"Seriously?" She raised her eyebrows and he nodded. "Oh my god! Yes! I'd love to!" She grinned and hugged him again. He lifted her up and spun her round, laughing at how excited she was.

"By the way, Naomi said it's fine," he kissed her nose.

Addison rolled her eyes. "Of course she did. You wouldn't have told me otherwise." Suddenly her face dropped.

"What's wrong?" Pete asked, worried.

"What about Mark?" She asked. As much as wanted to stay she couldn't lose Mark. He'd been there for her through everything over the last two years since Derek had died, and long before that when he'd been distant. He was her best friend and she didn't want him to go back to New York alone.

"Well, Nae said he could stay too," Pete smiled.

Mark stood up and Addison turned to face him. "Did you know about this?"

He shrugged. "Maybe."

Addison laughed and hit him. "Sneaky."

Mark nodded. "Yup." He put his arm around her shoulders and hugged her. "But it was a nice surprise, right?"

She nodded immediately. "It was an amazing surprise."

Pete took her hand and pulled her close to him. "Now I'll never get to show you around New York," she said, her voice muffled by his chest.

He laughed. "I'm sure someday you can take me there."

A/N: Aaaaannnndddd done. Wow. I love the feeling I get when I finish a story, lol. I'm slightly strange you should know. Anyways...I know that was a slightly weird way to end it, but I kind of liked it. No cliché line about how everything'll be fine now, like I usually write. I hope you enjoyed that, I'd love if you reviewed and let me know what you thought of this chapter.

Also if anyone has ideas for some Grey's fics I could write, I'd love to hear them seeing as now this is done all I have is NCIS fics. Well except for Love Changes Everything which'll just go on until I'm bored, and Intuition which I've come to a stand-still on anyways. I'd like an idea for a new Addex fic, actually, so if anyone has ideas...shoot. :)

Thanks again, and until next time,

-Beth
