Here`s the next chapter! Sorry that it took me so long to update! Read and review :-)


A month later Adrianna stood in front of Addison's house and waited for her to open the door. Addison opened the door a few minutes later, wearing sweat pants and one of Derek's t-shirt, it was obvious she had been asleep.

"I have news." Adrianna grinned.

"Come in then." Addison smiled groggily, opening the door wider.

"Were you asleep?" Adrianna asked when she looked at her sister more properly.

"Yeah, I was." Addison nodded, shutting the front door and making her way into the living room.

"Oh sorry."

"It's okay." Addison shook her head, sitting down on the couch and rubbing her bump.

"So I have news." Adrianna sat down next to her sister.

"So what is it?"

"I bought a house." She grinned.

"Really? That's great! Where?"

"A few blocks away from here."

"That's brilliant, Anna." Addison smiled.

"I know, and it has a beautiful room for Leah." Adrianna smiled and placed her hand on Addison's bump.

"That's good." Addison felt the baby kick.

"She's kicking!" Adrianna screamed and gazed at the bump.

"She is." Addison smiled. "She knows you're here." Adrianna smiled back at her. "When can you move in?" Addison looked at her sister.

"I hope in two months, they have to renovate a few things."

"Is everything going to be ready in time?"

"I hope so." Adrianna looked at her.

"It's only three months until she's here."

"I know. I can just hope that I'll be ready before I have my little girl."

"Yeah." Addison smiled, a hand resting on the top of her bump.

"You have to help me decorate the nursery." Adrianna smiled.

"You'll actually let me decorate it?" Addison raised an eyebrow.

"Help me yeah, why not?" She looked at her sister.

"Between you and Derek I'm hardly being allowed to lift a finger."

"You should just come up with ideas." She smiled.

Addison smiled. "Okay."

"Yellow or lilac?" Adrianna looked at Addison.

"Hmm." She thought about it. "Lilac."

"Yeah I think the same."

"Okay." Addison smiled.

"Good." Adrianna smiled back.

"Have you nearly got everything now?" Adrianna had left it all in Addison and Derek's spare room.

"I have most of the things, but maybe I'll go shopping again." She grinned.

Addison laughed softly. "Okay."

"I can't get enough of those cute baby clothes."

"They're really addictive." Addison agreed.

"Yes they are." Adrianna smiled.

"This baby is going to be so spoilt."

"You bet." Adrianna nodded and grinned.

"Have you told mum and dad yet? Or Archer?"

"I don't want to talk to mum and dad."

"Why not?"

"Addi, they hate me, you know that."

"They don't hate you."

Adrianna raised an eyebrow at her.

"They just disagree with some things you did."

"They disagree with everything I did, Addi."

"Doesn't mean they hate you." Addison pointed out

"We haven't talked for years..."

"You should try." Addison urged. "I'm sure they'll be glad to know they're getting a granddaughter."

"I don't know." Adrianna sighed.

"You should, what about Archer?"

"Archer knows everything. I call him once a week."

"Okay." Addison nodded.

"Yeah, but I don't want to see or talk to mum and dad." Adrianna looked at Addison.

"Okay, it's your choice."

"Yeah it is."

"Okay."

"Thanks, Addi."

"No problem, Anna." Addison smiled at her sister.

"I have to go now...work..." Adrianna sighed.

"Okay." Addison stood up to see her sister out.

"Bye." Adrianna waved and walked out.

"Bye." Addison smiled, rubbing her bump and walked back into the house.

---

"Addison." Bizzy said as she picked up her phone.

"Hey Bizzy." Addison smiled. "It's me Addison."

"Why are you calling me?" She asked.

"I wondered if you and dad wanted to come over for dinner."

"Sure, when?" Bizzy asked.

"Tomorrow night? Say around seven?"

"Sounds good." She smiled.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow night then."

"Yeah, bye, Addison." Bizzy hung up and Addison smiled, hanging up.

­­---

On the next day Adrianna stood in front of Addison's house, knocking on the door.

"Hey Anna." Addison smiled, hugging her sister as best she could with a now large bump.

"Hey Addi." She hugged her back. "Hey Leah." She placed a hand on her sister's bump. Addison smiled, shutting the front door behind Adrianna. Adrianna walked into the kitchen and turned around. "How are you?"

"I'm good, Anna." Addison looked at her sister. "Mum and dad are coming for dinner tonight." Addison bit her lip.

"Very funny, Addi, really." Adrianna laughed.

"I'm serious."

"No you are not." Her voice got serious.

"I am." Addison nodded.

"How could you?" Adrianna jumped up.

"Anna, I'm sorry but you should tell them."

"Didn't I make myself clear yesterday?"

"So you're going to let Leah grow up not knowing them?" Addison looked at her sister.

"They stopped talking to me when I decided to go my own way. You want the same thing happening to Leah?!" Adrianna yelled.

"Anna, calm down." Addison looked at her sister.

"No I won't! You don't have the right to decide that!"

"Fine, don't stay for dinner then."

"Oh I won't."

Addison nodded. "And all I really wanted was a nice family meal."

"Addison, nothing with mum, dad and me in the same room will ever be nice." Adrianna looked at her sister.

"Fine, go then, Anna." Addison turned from her sister, stirring the food. Adrianna shook her head and walked towards the door. Addison didn't look at her sister as there was a knock at the door and Adrianna froze as she heard the knock. Addison looked up, glancing at Adrianna before she walked to the door and opened it.

"Addison." Her mother smiled. "Oh my god...." Her eyes widened as she looked at her daughter's baby bump.

"Hi Bizzy." Addison smiled back, following her mother's gaze. "It's not my baby." Bizzy and Edward raised an eyebrow at their daughter. "I'm carrying the baby for Anna." Addison explained.

"You're doing what?" Bizzy looked at her disbelieving.

"Carrying the baby for Anna." Addison repeated.

"And you think that's a good idea?" Edward asked.

"Why isn't it?" Addison looked at her parents.

"You know that she can't handle that."

"And why can't she?"

"When she realises that she has to take care of that baby, she'll run." Bizzy said matter of factly.

"She won't. She'll make a brilliant mother."

"I don't think so." Her mother shook her head.

"She will, I have faith in her." Addison had always stuck up for her sister.

"When something gets complicated, Adrianna gives up." Bizzy looked at Addison.

"That's not true." Addison shook her head. "She really wants this baby."

"She wanted a lot of things, Addison, but she always gave up when it got complicated."

"She won't give up on this baby, I know she won't."

"If you think so." Bizzy sighed.

"I do." Addison nodded. "I have faith in her."

"Then you are the only one." She shook her head.

Addison sighed and opened the door wider for her parents. They walked in and slipped their shoes off.

"Do either of you want a drink?"

"Wine would be nice." Edward replied.

"Okay." Addison nodded, walking back into the kitchen. Her parents followed her and froze when they saw Adrianna sitting in the kitchen. Addison looked at her sister, her eyes apologizing and Adrianna looked at her sister before looking down again before Addison squeezed her sister's hand.

"It's time for me to go." Adrianna stood up and avoided to look at her parents.

"Call me tomorrow, Anna." Addison looked at her sister. She nodded and walked out of the kitchen. Addison sighed, picking up a bottle of wine.

"See, when things get complicated she runs." Bizzy looked at Addison as she sat down. Addison sighed and poured two glasses of wine. Edward and Bizzy looked at her and took their glasses.

"You know, she has everything ready for this baby. She's bought everything, she's bought a new house, she's chosen a name, everything."

"But when the baby is here...." Bizzy shook her head.

"What? When the baby is here what?" Addison looked at her mother.

"Addison, don't count completely on her..." She sighed

"Why not?"

"We all know you'll end up with the baby." Bizzy sighed.

"I don't. I believe that Anna will be the mother, not me."

Her mother sighed and took a sip of her wine. Addison looked at her parents before she sat down as well.

"Where is Derek?" Edward changed the topic.

"He was called into an emergency surgery, he'll be a bit late."

"Okay." He nodded.

"Yeah, he said to go ahead and eat."

"Good, I'm starving." Her father smiled.

"I'm not sure how good it tastes though." Addison stood up, beginning to dish out the food.

"You cooked?" Bizzy looked at her daughter.

Addison nodded. "I had some help from Nancy this afternoon though."

"I'm sure it's good." Her mother smiled. Addison smiled, putting three plates down on the table and one in the microwave for Derek.

"I like it." Edward smiled before he took another bite.

"I'm glad you like it." Addison grinned.

"I agree with your dad." Bizzy smiled at her.

"Good."

At that moment Derek walked in. "Hi." He smiled.

"Hey babe." Addison smiled back. "How did the surgery go?"

"Good, everything's fine." He kissed her cheek before he started the microwave.

"Good to hear." Addison smiled, eating.

"Yeah, we almost lost her, but she's stable now." Derek sat down next to Addison.

"Well you are the best."

"I know." He grinned and Addison grinned back, continuing to eat. "How are you?" He turned to Bizzy and Edward.

"We're good thank you, Derek." Bizzy smiled at her son-in-law.

"That's good." Derek smiled back.

"It is."

"The food is great, Addi." He smiled at her.

"Thanks, but Nance helped me."

"I knew it." Derek smirked and Addison rolled her eyes at her husband, a smile on her lips.

"Thanks, Addison, the dinner was really good." Bizzy said after she had finished.

"No problem." Addison smiled and stood up, ready to clear the table.

"Sit down, Addi, I'll do it." Derek stood up and placed a hand on her back.

"No, it's fine, I can manage."

"Okay then." He sat down again and Addison smiled, clearing away the table.

"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm sure you two want to be alone now." Edward smiled at Addison and Derek.

"No, it's fine, you can stay a while longer." Addison smiled at her parents.

"If you don't mind."

Her parents smiled at her. "We would like to stay a bit longer."

"Why don't you go into the living room, I'll make some coffee." Addison smiled.

"Okay, thanks." Bizzy and Edward got up and walked into the living room while Addison switched the kettle on, waiting for it to boil the water. Derek walked towards Addison and placed his hands on her hips. She smiled up at him, kissing his cheek and he smiled back before he kissed her neck.

"Hmm, I love you, Derek."

"I love you too, babe." He mumbled against her neck. Addison turned in his arms, smiling up at him and Derek smiled back at her before he kissed her neck again.

"Babe, later." She whispered.

"It's your fault." He mumbled.

"What did I do?"

"You taste so good." Derek grinned.

Addison smirked, turning from him as she heard the click of the kettle. "Later, babe."

"I hope you don't mind having a hickey right now." He smirked.

"What?" She hissed, her hand flying to her neck.

"Relax, it was a joke." Derek laughed.

"It better have been." She glared at him, making two cups of coffee.

"Aww don't be mad, babe." He chuckled and Addison stuck her tongue out, carrying the two cups into her parents. Derek grinned and followed her into the leaving room. She handed the cups to her parents and sat down, her hands resting on her bump.

"You really think you're doing the right thing?" Bizzy asked as she looked at her bump.

"This could be Anna's last chance to be a mum."

"I'm not sure if she really wants that." Her mother sighed.

"What do you mean?" Addison frowned.

"The baby...I'm not sure that she really thought about it before asking you to carry her baby."

Addison looked at her mother, refusing to believe that Adrianna would walk away from the baby while Bizzy sighed and took a sip of her coffee. "You really think she'll run?" Addison asked.

"That's what Adrianna does."

"Not always, and I can't see her running from her own child."

"I hope so, Addison."

Addison nodded, rubbing her bump soothingly as the baby began to kick and Derek watched her closely. She looked down and seemed to be in thought. Derek didn't know what to say, he wasn't a big fan of the pregnancy. "You're going to have a granddaughter you know." Addison looked up at her parents.

"Yeah, our first one." Edward smiled.

"It will be." Addison smiled. "Anna wants to call her Leah."

"Leah, I like the name." Bizzy smiled.

"Yeah, I'd like to call my first daughter Montana."

"I think it's time for you both to have children." Bizzy smiled at Addison and Derek.

"We plan to." Addison smiled. "Next year."

"That's great." Her parents smiled.

"It is." She agreed. Bizzy and Edward smiled at their daughter. Addison smiled back.

"When are you due?" Her mother looked at her.

"Three months."

"So we will be grandparents in three months." Edward smiled.

"You will." Addison grinned. "And I'll be an auntie."

"Yeah." Bizzy sighed.

"Do you want to feel her kick?"

"Yes." Bizzy hesitated before she placed her hand on her daughters bump.

"Feel that?" Addison smiled.

"Amazing." Her mother smiled back

"It is until I'm trying to sleep and she's kicking."

"I know what you mean." Bizzy smiled at her. Addison smiled back and rubbed her bump. "You were a very active child as well." She smiled at Addison.

"Was I?"

"Oh yes, there were nights you didn't let me sleep at all."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that."

"You don't have to be, Addison." Bizzy smiled.

"I know how it feels now though."

"Did I ever tell you about my weird craving I had when I was pregnant with you?"

"No." Addison shook her head. "What was it?"

"Well....chocolate ice cream with pickles." Bizzy screwed up her nose at the thought of that.

"Eww, that's gross."

"It seemed that you liked it then." Bizzy grinned.

"Well I certainly don't now."

"It would be strange if you would like it."

"Definitely."

Bizzy smiled at her daughter.

"Did you have an easy birth with us?"

"With Adrianna and Archer it was really easy, but with you....." Bizzy remembered.

"I wasn't easy?"

"You can say that, it was a breech presentation and I was in labour for about thirty-two hours."

"I didn't know that."

"We never talked about it?"

"No." Addison shook her head.

"I hope you'll have an easier birth." Bizzy looked at her.

"I hope so as well." Addison nodded and Bizzy smiled at her. "I'm hoping it's an easy birth." Addison's hand softly moved over her bump.

"You'll never know, but let's hope." She squeezed her hand softly.

"Yeah." Addison smiled. Derek and Edward watched them, listening carefully. Addison smiled, looking up at her husband. Derek smiled back at her and placed a hand on her back. She kissed his cheek and leaned into him. He grinned and pulled her closer.

"So how long are you staying?" Addison looked at her parents, feeling tired.

"I think it's time for us to go." Bizzy looked at her.

"Okay, it was good to see you."

"Yes, thanks for the invitation." Bizzy and Edward stood up.

"No problem." Addison stood up as well.

"See you soon and bye ,Derek." Bizzy hugged Addison before she walked towards the door. Addison smiled and turned back to Derek.

"Bye, Bizzy, bye Edward." Derek watched them leave before he smiled at his wife.

"I'm tired." She yawned.

"Let's go to bed then."

"Yeah." Addison nodded and made her way up the stairs as Derek followed her. Addison walked into the bedroom and she began to undress. He changed as well and watched her. Once she was changed she climbed into bed. Derek lay down next to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you, Derek." She snuggled up.

"I love you too." He kissed her cheek and Addison smiled, closing her eyes.
