This story was inspired by a post I saw on tumblr of Will and Addison, just like my other story, the MacKenzie case. This story is the third in a group of stories I'm writing about Will/Addison. It's set after TGW s03e13 and after PPP s05e10. It will likely continue to somewhat continue the TGW story line, but part two of this story will continue before TGW e14 (have you seen the promos? EXCITED). All Addie/Will this chapter, but Willicia shippers, breathe and be patient, your time is coming. Now 3read away! I really do hope you enjoy it and pretty please tell me what you think! I LOVE to get feedback.

"Kalinda, could I see you quickly?" Alicia asked as the beautiful Indian woman walked past her door.

Kalinda checked her watch then nodded. She had a few minutes. She'd set up a meeting with Dana. It hurt her to know she could've sold out Will. He was a good friend and she was loyal to him above all, barring Alicia. But other than the folder she'd given Dana, she would do everything to help him.

"What do you need?" she asked Alicia, watching her suspiciously as she walked to shut the door.

"What are you working on for Will?"

"I can't tell you Alicia," she said sadly. "It's not mine to tell."

"Kalinda," she said stern.

"Alicia I really…"

"I didn't want to have to play this card but," Alicia said, leaning against the door to look at Kalinda, and block the only exit, "you slept with my husband."

Kalinda looked taken aback, Alicia recognized the pain in her eyes. She wanted not to feel it, wanted desperately not to, but they were still friends. Alicia pushed it away.

"Alicia, I…" she trailed of when Alicia narrowed her eyes at her. Kalinda wanted to cry, a desire she never welcomed. "He's being investigated."

"What for?" Alicia asked.

"I can't tell you anything more Alicia. I can't," her voice hitched and she internally cursed herself.

Alicia didn't say anything, but she moved out of the way. Kalinda gave her a sad stare as she walked out the door, she tried not to let through any tears.

She walked down the hallway, passing faces she knew and headed straight for the elevator. When a man got in next to her so let out a sigh. She would not let anybody see her cry. She headed out of the building, straight to her car. Once the door was shut tight behind her, the lock clicked, she let them break through. She rested her head against the steering wheel, and just cried.

Back upstairs, Alicia headed towards Diane's office. It was a big move, perhaps a dangerous one, but she had to know. She knocked on the door and Diane waved her in.

"Can I talk to you about something?"

Diane checked the watch she wore around her tiny wrist then looked up and smiled at Alicia. "I can spare some time. Sit down."

Alicia just shook her head, she didn't particularly want to sit.

Diane's eyes narrowed. "What is it Alicia?"

"Will," Alicia said, trying to be strong. "What's he being investigated for?"

"Alicia," Diane's voice was stern. "That's none of your…"

She knew Diane knew about her and Will. It was obvious and she really didn't have time to beat around the bush.

"Diane," Alicia countered. "We both know what we know. This is my business, if this has anything to do with me…"

"You need to talk to Will," Diane told her, now with sympathy in her eyes. "I can't tell you this, he needs to."

Feeling warmth swell in her eyes, Alicia straightened her back. She was not going to cry in front of Diane. She waited until she saw sure her voice was going to be strong. "I can't call him Diane. I just can't. I need to know."

She considered, Alicia could see it in her eyes. She knew Will didn't want her to know, but she was going to find out anyway. Diane really did believe it was Will's place, and his alone to tell her. But with the look of determination in Alicia's dark eyes told her if she didn't tell her, she would find out anyway.

"Judicial Bribery."

"Who's investigating him?" Alicia felt a lump in her throat. When Diane didn't answer, she pressed. "Please Diane. Is it Peter?"

"Not directly."

"Oh God," Alicia said, closing her eyes to straighten herself. She didn't want to believe Peter would do something, but she knew how jealous he was, she'd seen it in him the other night. "Oh God."

"Alicia."

"No," she said, holding up her hand. She knew tears were in her eyes, but she would not let it effect her. "Thank you Diane."

Diane watched as Alicia left then picked up the phone. Will had to know.

. . .

The phone rang on the bedside table upstairs as Will lead Addison through the front door. Jake had said she could go home if she looked after herself, Will had promised he would look after her.

"Do you want something to eat? Drink?" He asked, placing her gently on the couch.

She just looked at him. "I'm pregnant Will, it's not like I'm dying."

"Jake told you to take it easy."

"Don't you play the Jake said card with me."

"I'll play whatever card I want. You need rest. And until I go back to New York, I am your slave."

"Now that," Addison smiled slyly, "sounds like a good idea."

"Get your mind out of the gutter Montgomery," he told her as he pushed up his sleeves and made his way around her kitchen in search of something he could cook up.

"My mind can be wherever I want it to be," she smiled, watching him. "There's a good bottle of Chianti in the cupboard."

"No alcohol for you," he told her. "You're preggers now."

"Studies say half a glass of red a day is good for you whilst you're pregnant," she told him.

"Do the specify on the size of said glass?"

"Nope," she laughed. "Go for a medium sized one."
