A/N: I feel like I am overwhelmed with so many fics to update and beta and I just don't have the time. I also have to write a chapter and do my art exam until Friday (Y) This is not good. So, I'm going to apologise now if it takes me a while to update after this chapter, everything else, mainly art, has taken over my life. And if art does do that, I will not be a happy bunny at all.

Anyway, again there is no PADDIE in this chapter sorry. You have all that to come, we jsut have to get there.

Enjoy


About a month later and Addison had everything packed, most of it shipped over to LA. She had a suitcase packed that she was going to take to Connecticut to see her parents before she headed over to LA as well. Mark was going to send all the rest off for her.

Addison took a deep breath as she got out of the cab at her old home and she looked up at the huge house in front of her. She was going to tell her parents that she was pregnant and moving to LA, to be with Pete, who she hardly knew. She took hold of her suitcase and pulled it up to the front door where she rang the doorbell. A few minutes later and the door opened, her mother standing in front of her.

"Hey." Addison smiled at her mother.

"Addison." Bizzy looked at her.

"I erm, I was hoping I could stay for a couple of days."

"Yes, of course. Come in." She stepped aside. Addison smiled and pulled her suitcase into the hallway before her mother shut the front door. Bizzy looked at her and gave a smile.

"I'll just take this up to my room." Addison motioned to her suitcase.

"You can do that later. Do you want a drink or something?"

"Some squash would be nice."

"Okay." Bizzy nodded. Addison smiled and followed her mother into the kitchen. "So, what brings you here?" Bizzy asked while she got a glass for her daughter.

"There's something I need to tell you and dad." Addison accepted the glass of squash her mother gave her and she took a long sip, feeling dry after her flight.

"Okay..." She looked at her.

"Where is dad?" Addison looked at her mother.

"Upstairs I think."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "I'll wait until he's here as well."

"I'll get him." Bizzy looked at her before walking out of the kitchen. Addison let out a breath and placed her glass on the side, waiting for her parents. "Edward?" Bizzy called up the stairs. "Can you come downstairs, please?" A few minutes later and Edward Montgomery made his way down the stairs to his wife. "Addison is here." She gave a smile.

Edward smiled, walking into the kitchen and looking at his daughter. "Addi." He walked towards her and hugged her.

"Hey dad." Addison smiled and hugged him back.

"It's good to see you." He smiled.

"It's good to see you too."

Bizzy stood next to them and watched them.

Addison pulled back from him and looked at her parents. "I erm, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Edward looked at his daughter.

"I'm moving to LA." Addison looked at her parents' expressions.

Her mother looked at her surprised. "LA? What are you doing in LA?"

"I've met someone."

"You've met someone?" Edward looked at her.

"Yes." Addison nodded. "Pete."

"Pete?" Bizzy looked at her. "Who's Pete?"

"The guy I met."

"And he lives in LA?"

"Yes." Addison nodded.

"Where did you meet him?"

"In New York, he was on a conference."

"When was that?" Bizzy looked at her.

"About three months ago." Addison shifted on her feet slightly.

"Three months ago? And now you're moving to LA to him?"

Addison nodded, knowing she should tell them about the baby. "I'm pregnant as well."

"What?" Bizzy looked shocked.

"I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a baby." Addison looked at her parents.

"Addison..." Bizzy looked at her and Addison looked at her mother, waiting for her to say something. "You met this man three months ago, you barely know him. This is... this is not the way this is supposed to happen."

"But it has."

"So you're moving because you're pregnant?"

"Partly, but we want to be near each other as well."

"Who is this Pete? Is he a good guy?" Edward looked at his daughter.

"Yes." Addison nodded and looked at her father. "I feel wonderful when I'm with him." She smiled.

"But you barely know him." Bizzy looked at her.

"It doesn't matter. I'll get to know him. It doesn't change the fact that I'm carrying his child."

"You shouldn't do that because you're carrying his child." Edward stated.

"I'm moving so my child isn't deprived of their father and I want to be closer to him. It also means that I can spend more time at home with my baby."

"But are you ready for this? You don't even know if he's really worth it, giving up your life in New York."

"I want this." Addison looked at her parents. "I want to move to LA."

"But do you want it because of the right reasons?"

"Yes." Addison nodded.

"If it's really what you want." Edward looked at her before looking at Bizzy.

"It is."

Bizzy sighed and nodded.

"I want this." Addison looked between her parents.

"If you're sure." Edward looked at her.

"I am." Addison nodded. "I really am."

"Okay." He nodded.

"You can come and visit."

"We will."

"Good." Addison smiled at them and absently rubbed her stomach.

"How far along are you?" Bizzy looked at her daughter.

"About fourteen weeks."

Bizzy nodded and gave a smile while Addison smiled back at her parents, glad they were somewhat happy for her. "How long are you going to stay?"

"Just a few days, then I'm flying to LA."

"Okay."

"Yeah." Addison smiled. "Have you seen Archer lately?"

"A couple of weeks ago."

Addison nodded. "I'd like to see him before I go."

"I'm sure he'd like that."

"I'll ring him later."

"Okay." Bizzy nodded.

Addison smiled at her parents before finishing her squash. "I'll take my stuff upstairs now." Bizzy gave a smile and watched as Addison walked out of the kitchen.

-

Fifteen minutes later when Addison had unpacked her stuff and sat on her bed in her childhood bedroom, she picked up her phone and dialled her brother's number.

"Hey Ads." Archer picked up after a few seconds.

"Hey Archie." She smiled.

"What's up?"

"I'm at home with Bizzy and dad for a few days and I was hoping you'd come over."

"Erm, sure, but what are you doing there?"

"I'm here for a few days before I go to LA."

"What are you doing in LA?"

"I'm moving there to live." Addison bit her lip and waited for her brother's reaction.

"You're what?!"

"Moving to LA." She repeated.

"What are you doing there?" He couldn't believe it.

"I'm moving to be closer to Pete."

"Pete? Who is Pete?"

"Someone I met."

"Someone you met? And now you're moving to the other side of the country because of someone you met? You have to be kidding, Ads."

"No I'm not. We want to be closer to each other."

"Who is this guy? Since when do you know him?"

"I met him about three and a half months ago. He was in New York on a conference."

"Are you together?"

Addison thought about it. "I think we're going to be."

"You are moving to LA because of him and you think you're going to be together?"

Addison sighed, when it was put like that. "I'm pregnant as well, Archie."

"Oh." He couldn't believe it. "Wow."

"I know." Addison nodded.

"And that's why you're moving?"

"And because I want to be near him."

"Why can't he move to you?"

"He already has a daughter."

"Oh."

"It's unfair to ask him to move and uproot his daughter."

"Yeah." He paused. "But do you really want this, Addi?"

"Yes." Addison nodded. "I do."

He sighed. "But why?"

"But we want to be close to each other and I don't want my baby missing out on their father."

"There are other ways. He could visit."

"And miss out on everything? He'd miss their first step, their first word. He would miss out on so much."

"But are you sure that's worth it? Giving up your life in New York?"

"Yes, I'm sure." She nodded.

Archer sighed. "Fine, if you think it's the right thing to do."

"I do."

"Good."

"So will you come here?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Good." She smiled.

"I'll see you there then."

"Yeah, I'll see you soon."

"Bye." Archer hung up. Addison sighed and put her phone away before looking around her room.

---

That night Archer arrived at his parent's house, smiling he saw Addison sitting in the living room as he walked in. "Hey sis."

"Archie!" She grinned and stood up, pulling her brother into a tight hug. Archer smiled and hugged her back tightly. "It's good to see you." She whispered.

"It's good to see you too." He smiled widely as they pulled apart.

Addison smiled and looked at him. "How are you?"

"I'm good actually, what about you?"

"I'm good." She smiled.

"Good." He smiled back.

"So how's life, Archie?" Addison sat down on the couch and looked up at her big brother.

"Busy." He gave a smile as he looked at her. She smiled and leaned back against the cushions. "When are you leaving?" He looked at her.

"In a few days."

"Okay." He nodded.

"Yeah. Nae is setting up my house for me."

"Is all your stuff there already?"

"Most of it." She nodded. "Whatever is left in New York now Mark is going to send for me within the next few days."

"Good."

"Most of it is in LA though."

Archer nodded and looked at her. "What would you say if I'd come with you?"

"You want to come to LA with me?" She was shocked.

"Yes." He nodded.

"Just, to help me settle in, or, to live?"

"We'll see, in the first place to help you settle in."

"Okay." Addison nodded and smiled.

"Okay." Archer gave a smile. "I'll come with you then."

"Thanks."

"No need to thank me, I have to make sure you're doing good."

"I'll be fine." Addison smiled at him.

"I hope so."

"I will." She nodded. "I'll have Nae and Sam."

"Yeah."

"I'll be fine, Arch."

"I just want to make sure, I mean you barely know this guy, you don't even know if you're together. I want to be sure you're fine."

Addison sighed and looked at Archer.

"What?" He looked at her.

"Nothing." She shook her head.

"Are you really sure you want to go there?"

"I'm sure, Archie." Addison looked at him.

"What about this guy? Did you even see him again since this one time he was in New York?"

"Yes." She nodded. "I went over to LA a month later and I saw him, then he came back over to New York."

Archer nodded and looked at her.

"You don't have to worry about me, Arch."

"I do though. I don't know this guy, what if he's not good enough for you?"

"No one's good enough in your opinion." She smiled.

"I know, but what if he's not even close to being good enough?"

"I want to be with him."

"That doesn't say anything for me. He could still be an ass."

"He's not an ass."

"Well, I'll come with you and make sure that's true."

"Okay." She nodded. "But he's not."

"We'll see."

"Okay."

"How did Bizzy react?" Archer looked at his little sister.

"She was shocked."

"Of course."

Addison nodded and looked at Archer.

"What about dad?"

"I don't think he's too happy about it either."

"Yeah."

Addison sighed and played with her hair.

"Are you happy about it?"

"Yes." She nodded.

"Okay." He nodded as well.

"I've always wanted to be a mum." She smiled and placed a hand on her stomach.

"Yeah." Archer gave a smile.

"I mean, this isn't how I pictured it would be."

"I know."

Addison leaned her head back against the couch and looked at Archer.

"Where're Bizzy and dad?" Archer leaned back as well.

"Dad's in the study and Bizzy was upstairs."

Archer nodded and looked ahead of him.

"You think I shouldn't go don't you?" Addison looked at her brother.

"I just want you to be happy. I don't know if you'll be happy with your decision."

"Pete and me want to be together."

"But you barely know him."

"But I do know him."

"Good enough to move to the other end of the country because of him?"

"I'm going to get to know him better once I'm in LA."

"What if you learn that he's not the one you want to be with?"

"I won't learn that." Addison looked at Archer, she just knew Pete was he one for her.

"How can you be so sure about that?" Archer looked back at her.

"I just am."

Archer sighed and looked away again.

"I just know he's the one, Arch."

"You can't be that sure, not by knowing him since three months."

Addison sighed. "But I do."

"If you think." He shrugged.

"I do." She nodded.

"Good."

Addison smiled and leaned into the couch.

"I'll still come with you though."

"Okay."

"Yeah." He leaned his head back against the couch. Addison looked at her brother before she moved and leaned against his side. Archer gave a smile and laid an arm around her shoulder.

"I missed you." She whispered and snuggled closer to him, just like they used to when they were younger.

"I missed you too, Ads."

She smiled and they sat there together for a while.
