Addison walked in to a serious faced Sam and Pete staring each other down. Lucas immediately noticed Addison walking in and raised his arms letting Addison know he wanted her to pick him up. Addison was torn, her internal mother instinct wanted to go over and grab Lucas and ignore the two men; get Lucas out of that atmosphere, but then there was the fear that Sam would find that inappropriate. Addison's steps became slower and quieter as she tried to understand the situation and what exactly was going on? "Sam... what's wrong? Pete...Why are you here?" Addison looked from Sam to Pete as she walked over to Sam and waved her hand in front of his face to break his concentration, but it wasn't working, so she grabbed his face and forced him to look at her. "Sam... what's going on?" Sam looked at Addison and his expression softened at the sight of her, Addison bent down and planted a soft kiss on his lips, which brought a small smile to his face. Immediately remembering who else was in the room and the reasons for being there, Sam snapped his face back towards Pete and the stare down continued. Once Addison had properly greeted Sam, she walked over to Lucas picking him up and taking a few steps back to observe the situation; she was hoping to figure something out. As Lucas played in her arms she looked at Pete, "Pete, why are you here?" Both men continued to stare at each other, as Pete's attention turned to Addison's question, "Lucas wanted to see you..." The answer annoyed Addison; what did Pete mean Lucas wanted to see her? "Pete...seriously? He's a baby, it's not like he personally asked for me..." Sam let the serious glare fall from his face so he could chuckle at Pete's ignorance. Pete turned to look at Addison, he no longer needed to stare down Sam, who had just become the least of his worries, "Addison... Lucas called out mommy... he meant you!" Addison was starting to get mad because everyone, including Pete knew she wanted to be Lucas's mom, but she wasn't, so why was he screwing with her? "Pete... Violet is his mother, not me." Pete nodded his head in approval, " Yes, she is his mother, but not his mommy. You are his mommy, you were there when she wasn't... he knows you, not her!"

Addison didn't know how to argue with that, she had been there, Lucas did know her better than Violet, but she also knew there were ulterior motives behind Pete being here, and she wanted to find out what they were. "Pete I appreciate that thought, but now that we are over, I can't play mommy to Lucas... It just wouldn't be right, you love Violet and she loves you... you need to give her a chance to be his mommy... she really wants to be..." Sam was getting more and more angry by the second, why was she even willing to discuss this? It was out of the question and Pete needed to leave, however, Pete wasn't done with his fight, there was more he needed to say. " No... see that's where you have it all wrong..." Addison was confused, everything she'd said was fact, " I love Violet, but I am no longer 'in' love with her... I am in love with you, and I am here to fight for you... Me... and Lucas want and need you" Addison almost dropped Lucas when those words left Pete's mouth, she was sure he'd just been using her to get through not being able to be with Violet, when had he really fallen for her? "Pete... just stop, that's not fair to anyone... you are not thinking this through..." Pete stood up, but didn't dare move towards Addison since Sam was all ready to pounce on him. They'd be in a full out fight and he wanted to avoid that, for Lucas's and Addison's sake. "Addison... I love you, I'm in love with you... can we please just go talk about this?" Addison didn't know how to answer that, either way, someone was going to get hurt. She slowly walked over to Pete and handed Lucas back to him, " I'm sorry Pete...I can't... I am in love with Sam... there's nothing to talk about!" Addison didn't want to let go of Lucas, but she knew it was the best thing, the right thing to do, especially since they could all see the steam seeping through Sam's every pore. "Pete... please... just please leave..." Pete rocked Lucas in his arms who was becoming restless as he reached for Addison to hold him once more. Addison longed to hold him, but she knew she needed them to leave. " Okay Addie... I'll leave... but this isn't over... I love you...I want you... I need you and Lucas needs you... and I am going to fight for you." With that Pete and Lucas walked to the door and left, leaving the door open so that Addison would have to follow them and close it. As she walked to close the door she couldn't help but see Lucas crying and fighting with Pete to go back to Addison, and even though Addison knew she'd made the right choice, a part of her heart was breaking for having allowed Lucas to be put in the middle of all this...It broke her heart but also made her furious at what Pete was putting him through.

When Addison returned to the kitchen Sam was no longer sitting at the table, he was now pacing the kitchen, stopping every so often to punch a wall. "Sam..." Addison didn't know what to say, but she understood his anger, she just wished there was something she could do to stop him from being so upset. "Sam... please... talk to me..." Sam stopped and looked at Addison, he knew none of this was her fault, but he also knew that Pete was trying to get her back using very strong bate to reel her in. Sam walked over to Addison and she wrapped her arms around his neck, Sam kissed her, but Addison could tell he was still angry. "Sam... you know I love... you right? I don't want Pete... I have always wanted you!" Sam looked straight into Addison's eyes as she said this, he was sure she meant it, but what he wasn't sure about was if Pete using Lucas was going to affect her. "Addison, he's using a baby to get you back... that's something I don't have... I feel like I'm losing already..." Addison grabbed Sam's face, " How can you be losing? You already have my heart..." Sam smiled at Addison's attempt to fix everything, but Pete was ready to fight and he was fighting hard. Neither Sam nor Addison could understand what changed Pete's mind about letting Addison go and being in love with Violet, but all Sam knew was he was still mad and worried about losing her to Lucas. Sam knew that the real draw wouldn't be Pete.

Addison and Sam went out to dinner after Addison suggested it. It was nice and they both enjoyed their time together, but Sam was still furious, and although he tried to hide it, Addison could sense it still the entire time. As they made their way home they both were silent, thinking of the day's events. They'd both forgotten about Cynthia even though Addison eventually needed to talk about it. Right now all she could think about was Sam, Lucas and Pete. When they got home they changed into their pajamas, which for Addison was a t-shirt, and for Sam his boxers, and got in bed. They were both quiet a while longer until Addison turned to face Sam, "Sam... do you really trust me that little... that you think I'd... leave you?" Sam just stared at Addison for a minute, trying to read her, " I don't know how Lucas affects you... I understand his hold on you, and I could see you being torn..." Addison grabbed Sam's face and started to kiss him. Sam didn't want to have sex because he was upset, but Addison felt intimacy could clear the air. " Sam... I don't want anyone but you... I need you to believe that, with or without Lucas...I'll be okay!" Addison reached her hand into Sam's pants pulling him out, but Sam fought her to stop... he wasn't in the mood. "Addie... not tonight... I can't take my mind off Pete still wanting you... he's seen you naked, he knows things about you... and it bothers me that he wants it all back..." Addison didn't want to go to sleep this way, she wanted to feel Sam... she wanted to show Sam that only he was the one for her, "Sam... please... I want you, I need you." Sam couldn't lie, he felt that same strong need for her, but with how angry he was, he didn't want to do anything to hurt her. "Addie... we shouldn't... lets just get a good night's sleep, we can talk about this tomorrow." Addison grabbed Sam into another heated kiss, she wanted him... she needed him and she wasn't taking no for an answer. "Sam... please?" Sam didn't really want to fight her anymore, he wanted her too even though he couldn't shake this whole Pete situation. Addison had come to bed in a t-shirt and no panties, so when Sam rolled on top of her and put his hands down between her legs, there was nothing for him to pull down. Addison grabbed Sam's face and drew him into a lengthy kiss as Sam entered her hard and strong, filling her completely and without ease. Sam thrust into her hard over and over making Addison pull back from the kiss and look Sam in the eyes. Sam was there with her, but his mind was somewhere else. Addison tried to pull him back into the moment, but she found that she'd failed as he continued to trust harder and harder into her. Sam couldn't think of anything but Pete, he saw Pete with her, he remembered Pete having his hands on her, he remembered the look on her face when he'd found out she was sleeping with Pete, everything he shouldn't have been thinking about he thought about. Soon he was thrusting so hard into Addison that she began to scream out in pain. Sam left the current situation and put all his anger and fear into his sexual acts which in turn hurt Addison, "Ouch... Sam... ouch... Sam your hurting me..." Addison knew what was happening, and although he tried to warn her that he wasn't in a good place, she'd insisted, so when Sam used his weight to hold himself up as he pounded into her, she couldn't help but feel at fault for begging him to be with her. "Sam... please..." Addison begged Sam to slow down, but there was no use, he was in a trance and he wouldn't come out until he'd finished. Sam could hear Pete's voice saying Lucas missed her, she was his mommy, everything Pete was saying to her earlier, and Sam began to rock the bed as he drilled into her harder and faster. Addison enjoy the feel of Sam inside of her, but there was no connection tonight, all Sam could see was Pete with her, and he couldn't separate what was in his mind from what was actually in front of him. Addison knew her pleading at this point was pointless, and as Sam lifted her legs up and drilled into her core, he began to hit her spot helping the situation. "Mmmmmm...ooh Sam... please..." Addison tried one last time to make him ease, but what she couldn't see was the image of Pete on top of her instead of Sam which Sam was seeing. Sam had his eyes closed and Addison desperately needed him to open them and see her. Addison pulled Sam down closer to her as she whispered to him, "Sam... look at me... Sam... it's me..." Addison's breathing was ragged as she felt herself starting to near her orgasm. Sam opened his eyes and looked at Addison, she could see the hurt and the sadness that they held as he thrust deeper and deeper. Addison couldn't hold on any longer, and as Sam felt her tighten around him he too found it hard to fight the sensation. As Sam grabbed hold of the sheets on either side of Addison be braced himself and tried to shake himself from his trance so he could come back to reality. "uuhhh...ohhhhh... ohhhh Sammmm!" Addison let go clenching her teeth and her body shuttered beneath Sam.

After a few more hard thrusts, Sam and Addison both released, and Sam was laying atop of her his breathing out of control. Addison couldn't believe what had happened, she knew Sam was mad, but what he'd done hurt her so badly that she wanted to go check herself in the bathroom; she was afraid of what she might find. Addison just laid there as a few tears escaped. She had a right to be mad, but she wasn't sure who should she be mad at. She knew that the man who had just had sex with her was not Sam; sex between them was usually very sensual and loving, and this wasn't, this was what Pete had caused between them. She knew Sam didn't mean to be this harsh, but he was. Regardless of the reasons why, he'd hurt her, and she couldn't believe that he didn't stop himself. When Sam looked up at Addison he finally realized what he had done; he'd hurt her, almost intentionally, just like every other man has done and he couldn't believe himself. "Oh my God Addie... I am so sorry... I... I don't know what happened... all I could see was Pete with you... being intimate... I'm so so sorry..." Sam wiped away her tears as he kissed her lips and along her neck. He was truly sorry for what he still can't believe he was capable of doing. Addison rolled over and turned her back to him once he pulled out of her, she knew he didn't mean it, but that didn't stop the painful throbbing between her legs. "Sam... you really hurt me... I don't want to talk... I just want to sleep..." Addison closed her eyes as Sam tried to wrap his arm around her waist, like he did every night. Except tonight, Addison didn't want to be touched, she just scooted away from him, closed her eyes and forced herself to drift off to sleep...

The next morning Addison didn't say much to Sam as they got ready for work. They both knew they needed to talk about it, but neither wanted to right now, it would have to wait for later. As they got into the car and made their way to work the entire ride they both remained quiet. When Sam parked the car he looked over at Addison, "Addie... can we please talk about this... I really didn't mean to do this to you..." Addison knew he was being honest, but it still hurt, " It's okay Sam... I know you didn't mean it." Sam reached over grabbing Addison's hand and before she could move away he leaned over to kiss her. "It's not okay Addison... I know that, just please... tell me what I can do to show you how sorry I am..." Addison kissed him back but it was a very faint kiss. Sam knew he'd be pushing his luck, wanting to talk about it more, so he let go of her hand allowing her to open her door and get out. As Addison walked into the building and got on the elevator, Sam just sat in the car alone trying to understand whyof all people did he take it out on her? He couldn't comprehend it himself, but he knew he'd hurt her and he hurt her badly. Not only had he hurt her physically but he broke the very promise he wanted to keep with her; to be different from all her other relationsships and not hurt her. Yet, as he sat in his car, he realized that the pain he caused her was the worst of them all because she had trusted him above anyone else yet he still broke her heart. He had to find a way, at any cost to fix what he had done. When Addison got on the elevator instead of pushing 5 she let the tears weld up in her eyes and she pushed 4, she wanted to talk, and there was only one person she wanted, she needed Naomi.

As she walked onto the 4th floor she could see the patients everywhere, she hoped Naomi wasn't busy, because she couldn't hold back the tears for very long. She knew no matter how pissed Naomi was with her, she'd be there for her, and no one else could ease the pain the way Naomi could. When she reached Naomi's office she was relieved to see that she alone. As she walked in, she closed the door and let the tears she'd been holding in come out. As Addison slid down Naomi's office door to the floor, Naomi ran over to her to see what was wrong. Naomi had been Addison's friend for almost twenty years, and throughout that entire time, she'd never seen Addison cry like this. "Addie... what's wrong?" Addison couldn't even talk, just the feel of Naomi's hand on her back trying to console her was good for now. Naomi sat there rubbing Addison's back a while longer, letting her get the tears out before she forced her to talk. "Addie... come on sweetie... please talk to me!" Naomi was very worried, she needed to get to the bottom of this. Addison cried a little longer before she tried to talk, "I needed you... I... Sam..." Was all she got through her tears which only put Naomi on edge. "Sam? Something happened with Sam... Addison, you have to tell me what happened... is Sam okay...?" Addison nodded her head yes and tried to calm herself down so she could talk. "Addie... did Sam do something to you? Because if he hurt you I swear I'll kill him..." Addison looked up at Naomi worried, she wanted to tell Naomi, but she didn't want Naomi to harm Sam either. "Nae... it's fine... he didn't mean it." Naomi was enraged, what in the world could Sam have done? Addison got up from the floor and walked over to a chair and took a seat. "Addie... if he hurt you... I love Sam, but I'll kill him for whatever he did to you..." Addison couldn't help but to smile at Naomi for being protective. To her, it meant Naomi still cared. "Nae... he didn't mean it... he did hurt me, but he didn't mean to..." Addison knew she didn't make sense, but although she was mad at Sam, she still knew he didn't mean to hurt her. "Addison... it doesn't matter if he meant to or not... he hurt you and I want to know how..." Addison wasn't sure about this, but she knew she needed Naomi to know, and she needed to talk about it. "Nae... please don't react to any of this until I have told you everything... okay?" Naomi nodded her head, and although she was still mad about Addison and Sam being together in the first place, she cared far more about Addison's well being right now. "Okay... so yesterday I came home to find Sam and Pete having a stare down... Pete had Lucas with him." Addison took a deep breath, even she knew this would be a lot to take in.

"Pete told me that I was Lucas's mommy, and that he was asking for me, then he proceeded to say he was 'in' love with me and not Violet, and that he and Lucas needed me and he wanted me back... oh and not to mention that he was going to start fighting Sam for me..." Naomi couldn't believe her ears... how could Pete do that to her, how could he do that to Violet, and Lucas? "Addie... is he even sure he meant that? Or was he just trying to be the winner?" Addison shook her head, " Nae... I don't know, all I know is Sam was PISSED and he could have killed Pete right there." Naomi was now furious, but what she didn't know was that she hasn't heard the worst of it yet. "Oh my God! Pete has no right... I can't believe he would use Lucas like that." Addison nodded her head and continued, " So I asked Pete to leave, and Sam was still angry... We went to dinner and then we went to bed... Naomi... are you sure you want me to tell you this part?" Addison cringed at what she'd be sharing with her but Naomi was more concerned with what Sam did; she was too concerned with that to be disturbed. "Addison... I need to know so I can help... let me help you..." Addison took a deep breath and continued, " Well... I wanted to have sex and Sam didn't because he was too upset. I really wanted to forget about all that was wrong, and I wanted to be close to him... but when we started having sex he was harsh and he hurt me, he wouldn't look at me... he was somewhere else, it wasn't Sam... he really really hurt me. I am hurting right now from how rough he was." Addison started to cry again as Naomi came closer to comfort her, neither one could even believe it. " Addie... I know we are on odds and I am the last person who would understand this... But I do, so please, let me help you... Come stay with me tonight, It could be fun, we could paint nails, eat pizza, have girly drinks and talk... about anything. Really... I want to do this, and I'll talk to Sam too..." Addison loved Naomi, and although she wished they could get back to the way they used to be on other terms, she was happy that they were taking this step. "Nae... please, you don't need to talk to Sam... I'll handle this myself... But I would love to come over tonight, that will help!" Addison and Naomi said there goodbyes once Naomi was sure Addison was okay. Naomi wasn't an OB/GYN doctor, but she'd worked with a lot of female parts, and she wouldn't let Addison leave until she'd fully examined her. Once she notified her that she was just red and sore, she gave her a useful ointment and let her go to her office on the fifth floor.

Once Addison returned to her office, she had to admit, she definitely felt better after talking to Naomi. "Come in" Addison yelled as she heard a knock on her door. In came Violet looking as if she were scared of what Addison might say, " Addison... did you bring Cynthia's belongings?" Addison couldn't believe she'd forgotten, " Oh shit! I'm so sorry Violet... so much happened last night, I completely forgot!" Violet was amused, "something happened? Oh is it juicy? Please do share..." Addison shook her head no, this wasn't a matter to be discussed lightly and gossiped about. "I'm sorry Violet, this isn't some office gossip, this is a serious matter, and I don't think I should share..." Violet pouted on her way out, now she needed to know, "Fine... just bring Cynthia's stuff tomorrow." Violet left and went back to her office disappointed. A few minutes later Pete came forcefully into Addison's office. "Addison... please... we need to talk about this, I LOVE you!" Addison couldn't believe she had to deal with this after last night and this morning " Pete please... let the past be the past... let me be happy!" The argument between the two of them was becoming a shouting match, but neither of them cared. This was an outburst that needed to happen. Pete moved closer to Addison, "Addie... you can't tell me you didn't enjoy our time together... who was there for you when Sam was with Vanessa? Addison I want and need you... I miss you... please?" Addison was not interested in Pete's reasoning, she was finally doing what made her happy, and now Pete was trying to destroy that. "Pete... please, lets not fool ourselves... what we had was just... it was just sex, nothing more..." Pete stepped closer to Addison and tried to kiss her. She, however, turned her head and Pete planted that kiss on her neck, " Don't you remember how good it was? Don't you think about how we could make each other feel? What about those family times in the park just me, you and Lucas? Don't you miss that? Remember?" Addison was saddened at the mention of Lucas, she missed him, but playing something she wasn't ever going to be to him wasn't helping anyone, it actually was hurting more people than it helped. Pete kissed along Addison's neck and Addison tried to break his strong hold on her."Pete... please, please stop it!" Addison couldn't believe she had to deal with this, and at work of all places. "Addie... let me close the blinds and we can go back to the way we used to be..." Addison was disturbed by Pete's actions. As she fought to get Pete off of her Violet remembered she'd forgotten to tell Addison Cynthia requested her to remain her doctor throughout her pregnancy and she headed back to Addison's office. Sam hadn't seen Addison all day, trying to give her space. He knew he'd hurt her, but the good man in him wanted to make sure she was okay, and at least make her talk to him a little. As Sam headed to Addison's office he stopped at her door noticing Violet too was about to go in. As Sam approached Violet to argue the fact that he needed to talk to Addison first, he noticed Violet frozen in her tracks. Sam slowly turned to see what had Violet's attention and the anger from the previous night returned ten times more than before. All Sam saw was Pete's arms wrapped around Addison and Addison fighting as hard as she could as he kissed along her neck. Without knocking Sam barged into Addison's office and immediately grabbed Pete pulling him away from Addison as he laid a hard fist into Pete's face. Sam hit Pete a few more times knocking him to the floor before Addison yelled for Sam to stop and Violet ran in to help Pete. "Don't you ever put your hands on her again..." Sam spat as he pointed towards Pete. Pete didn't say anything more as he let Violet lead him out of the office and down the hall. Sam grabbed Addison into a strong hug, " Are you okay...?" Addison nodded that she was okay and buried her face in Sam's neck. She couldn't believe all that had happened. Sam walked Addison over to the couch and apologized for his actions, he didn't mean to scare her, but he couldn't stand back while Pete was violating her in ways she clearly didn't want. "Sam... please... let this go with Pete... let me try to handle it... please?" Sam nodded, he hated to make that promise to her, but he could see the hurt and concern in her eyes and he just didn't want to add to it. "Addison... we need to talk, about last night... I am SO sorry. I will never EVER do that to you again... Please can we talk about it?" Addison could see the tears welling up in Sam's eyes, he was sincere, but sincere or not Addison needed some space from everyone and everything to think. Naomi's offer couldn't have come at a better timing or sounded any more perfect than it was.

The day was over and Sam was still sitting guard in Addison's office since he'd never left. As Addison packed her bag to leave for the day she told Sam she wouldn't be coming home tonight. "Addie... I said I was sorry... I didn't mean..." But before Sam could finish, Addison interrupted, "Sam... Naomi invited me over for a girls night, and after last night and today, I could really use it, so please... just be okay with it..." Sam nodded his head and got up to leave. " Sam... can you at least hug me before you leave?" Sam came over to where Addison was standing and hugged her long and hard. Addison pulled back just enough so that she could kiss him, "I know you didn't mean it, and I know you're sorry... but I need some time to get over it... I still love you... and only you... okay?" Sam was comforted by what she said, and although he hated being away from her, after what he'd done, he knew her and Naomi getting back to how they have been for years was good for her, and with that he was happy...
