I apologize for the randomness of this, but I began to write and this is what came out. I am planning a new fic soon, and will continue the rest of this. promise :D this is just a glimpse into the future. ooh. aah :D
"Ooh" Addison whispered as she felt a twinge of pain in her lower abdomen. It so was unexpected that she felt herself double over and grasp Derek beside her. He took notice and tried to steady her by grabbing her arm. "Are you okay? Addison?" She breathed shallowly and nodded, straightening herself up. "Yeah, yeah I think I'm alright. Just some Braxton-Hicks. I have been having them all morning." She sighed and he watched her, slightly concerned. "Are you sure? You are 8 months pregnant" Addison looked back at him defiantly. "I am the baby doctor, I think I would know if I was in labor" He smirked, not going to answer and faced forward again. Believe it or not, Derek and Addison had become good friends since he learned about her pregnancy. The fact that Addison was happy seemed to make Derek happy. "Is it just me, or is this the longest elevator ride ever?" Addison chirped with laugh. Derek nodded, smiling.
A sudden jolt stopped the elevator and threw the two inhabitants to the floor. Both of them gasped and Derek looked around in disbelief. Addison held her pregnant stomach and winced silently. This was not good. "Oh God" She exclaimed sadly and writhed against the wall of the elevator. "My water broke!" The apparent pain in her voice was also written on her face. Derek turned and repeatedly pressed the call button. "Someone! Anyone? Addison's in labor" He quickly scooted over to Addison and held her in his arms. "Derek, I can't have this baby yet…Oh God I need Alex" He nodded, knowing full well the situation. "Well, we'll see how this goes okay?" She also nodded, and leaned up against the wall for support. "Guess you were right about the labor" She confessed. "I owe the brain guy an apology"
"I never expected something like this to happen. You, me, baby, elevator was not the equation I pictured 8 months ago" She muttered and laughed running her hands over her stomach. "I guess I got the place right: the hospital, but not the time. I always sucked at Clue. Damn Ms. Peacock" Moving suddenly she found herself to her knees and doubled over again. "Uuh!" She sighed heavily and whimpered. Derek knew she needed some type of support and sat behind her. "Lean back, Ad, lean back into me" She complied and fell into his chest, breathing deeply. As she worked through the monstrous contraction he held her close, rocking her slowly. As it subsided she sat up slowly. "How far apart are they?" The tears that began to stream down her face became more numerous as the minutes passed. "About 5 minutes" He replied and she began to sob again. "Derek, I can't have this baby yet. I don't – I don't even have a name picked!" She laughed at the absurdity and combed her fingers through her hair in panic. He watched her sympathetically; amazed at the beauty Addison still seemed to have through all the tears and pain. Cringing Addison buried her face into his chest, stifling yet another moan. The pains were getting more intense, it was almost unbearable. He wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on hers, not knowing any other way to help. "You're doing good Addison…really good" Her tensed body beneath him seemed to quake as she tried her best to handle the pain.
"I need to lie down" She mumbled tiredly and Derek threw balled his jacket into a pillow. She rested her head down and laid her arm on her forehead, breathing rhythmically. "You know, this Lamaze crap doesn't do anything" She laughed, trying to not cry and continued to breath. "How's Meredith?" She asked softly, catching Derek by surprise. "We're good. Meredith's great…And Alex?" Addison smirked and nodded as well "Good, did you hear we're about to have a baby?"
"Glad you still have your sense of humor" Derek replied and held her hand as she tried to relax between contractions. A smile spread over her lips momentarily but was replaced by a yelp. "Derek!" She screamed softly and gripped onto the railing, her face contorted in torment. He held her hand as she crushed the life out of it slowly. For once he felt helpless. The contraction passed and Addison wiped stray tears from her cheeks. "I need Alex…" Rubbing her stomach again she looked down. "Peanut, I want you to be born honey, just not here. Not yet." She stared up at the ceiling, trying to keep herself from panicking and noticed the tiles began to move. "Alex!" The familiar face looked down at them and he smiled, jumping from the roof onto the unstable elevator car, which moved at his decent. He fell to his knees and grabbed her hand firmly, planting a kiss on her lips. "We heard Derek yell. I'll be damned if I let my beautiful wife and baby be in here without me"
The pain crept into Addison again as her body was wracked with another contraction. "She's coming! This baby is not going to wait." Addison breathed through sobs, again searching for anything to hold. Alex moved behind her, supporting her back and holding both of her hands. "I'm here." He whispered gently in her ear. "Time to have our baby" Addison smiled through the pain and looked at Derek. "Are…you ready?" He nodded firmly.
There was no where to run from the pain of the contractions that had invaded her body. Shallow breaths and yelps filled the air as both of the men tried valiantly to help. "Push Addison" Alex cooed into her ear and she began to use what strength she had left in her to do so. "Good, good. She's crowning" Derek called out and Addison collapsed back onto Alex. "I give up. I - - too tired" She closed her eyes and sobbed breathlessly. "I can't do it. It's too hard"
"C'mon sweetie. You're Addison Karev." He said with a smile "Since when do you give up?" Derek laughed at the joke and Addison glared, finding another burst of strength to push. "Good!" Derek exclaimed. Alex kissed the top of her head softly and willed her to continue. "You can do it Addison, almost there"
"The head is out" Derek declared and scrambled to find something to clear out its mouth. Addison breathed erratically, sobbing and tired, the pain still agonizing. "Just one more big push" Alex said softly and nuzzled his face against hers. "I...am so tired" She replied and whimpered as she gathered the last remaining strength she had left within her. Gurgled cries filled the small room as Derek raised the baby girl for Addison to see. Tears filled her eyes as she caught a glimpse of her. Alex stared in awe at the tiny wonder and rubbed Addison's arms gently. "You're amazing" Taking off his shirt, Derek wrapped the tiny infant in it and handed her to Addison, who took her graciously.
"Oh my god, she's beautiful" Addison said through sobs of happiness. Alex stroked the top of the pink baby's head and kissed it gently. "Looks like her mom, thank God" He laughed and she nudged him playfully. Glancing over at Derek, who seemed a little overwhelmed at the whole situation smiled and laughed through another sob. "Thank you…" He smiled and nodded. "Congratulations Addison"
Alex watched Addison and their baby, realizing she didn't have a name. Sniffling she glanced over at him. "Keira" Alex said suddenly. "Perfect. Our little Keira "Peanut" Karev" They kissed softly as the elevator suddenly began to ascent and Derek stood.
"Leave it to me to have a baby in an elevator" Addison stated. "So where do you want to have the next one?" Alex asked facetiously. Addison rolled her eyes. "Please. You're having the next one"
