A/N: Basically I need to write something for work and I'm using Addisam to get me in the mood. Idk how what kind of mood it will be though :P
It was about two weeks since her birthday. She was supposed to go to Cabo with Sam tomorrow. Instead of shopping for bikinis and flip-flops, she was in bed, feeling like she had the flu without the runny nose. Her throat was raw from all the throwing up, and if Sam made her drink another glass of honeyed tea or some other thing, she would kill him. She didn't have a fever, but her eyes burned, she coughed and cried as she dialled the numbers to cancel her vacation.
She blubbered over the phone, getting the travel agent to cancel the tickets. She hung up, and in a fit of anger and frustration flung the cordless over to the other side of the room. She turned the TV volume really loud and buried her face in the pillow, willing this illness to get the hell away.
Sam came into her bed room, with a glass of nice, hot and sweet tea. It seemed to be the only thing that Addie could keep down and he didn't know what was wrong with her. She had been this way for 3 days. Well, 3 days that he knew of. He put the tea on the side table and sat down next to her. He rubbed her back slowly, massaging it. She moaned, except it came out like a croak and he tried to stifle his laughter. His girl was not a pleasant patient.
Addison turned around and looked at him with her large sorrowful eyes. "I cancelled our tickets." She croaked grumpily.
"I brought you tea." Sam said, nodding and smiling sympathetically.
Addison leaped out of bed. She got energy from lord knew where but she paced up and down next to her bed before turning on Sam. "You will not feed me that ghastly concoction anymore. That is what is making me sick. Tea in the morning, evening and night. You tell me what person won't fall sick after drinking that slop everyday, all the time! Done, done, done! No more. Now I am going on vacation. If it becomes a pukation, so be it. We'll just buy a whole lot of puke bags for the plane." She walked around the room, looking down like she was searching for something.
"What are you looking for?" Sam asked tentatively. He was debating on what would be the best way to dissuade her from the "pukation" as she so rightly called it.
"The phone! Where is the phone?" Addie said impatiently, as if it should have been obvious to Sam.
"Why are you looking for the phone on the floor?" Sam asked, curious.
"Because I threw it." Addison said, getting a little calmer. It was occurring to her how foolish she looked and sounded.
"I see. And why did you choose to throw the phone?" Sam asked calmly, knowing it was going to irk her.
"Oh my God! Could you not be this calm guy for one minute? I am having some kind of fit here and you are all like "I see". What is that?" Addison asked stalking over to him and sitting on the bed. She was tired. The only reason she was going so long without retching was that she hadn't eaten in more hours than she could remember.
"You need to calm down. You are tiring yourself out. And this whole "I'm not going to go get myself checked" thing is going to stop. Since you're up, were going to the hospital!" Sam said standing up. He pulled her up, finger combed her hair and took her down to his car.
Addison was just too tired to argue. She still looked pissed off and defiant. "Babe, if we know what this is, we can treat it and then go to Cabo! Surfing!" Sam said squeezing her hand. He knew this was hard for her. He didn't want to call Archer though. "I'm not calling your family this time." Sam said, glancing at her.
"That didn't even occur to me! Sam, if you call them, or if anyone calls them, I'm chopping your balls off while you sleep." Addison croaked, glaring at him.
"I said I wasn't going to call them! Calm down. Dammit Addie! Why do you drive a stick shift? It's annoyingly complicated!" Sam getting a little frustrated when the car stopped for another time.
Addison giggled a little and offered to drive, which was immediately turned down. They finally reached the hospital, where they got off and Addie clung to Sam's hand. Charlotte met them at the entrance, because Sam had called ahead.
"Montgomery! What have you gone and done to yourself now?" She asked and ushered her into a wheelchair.
"Like hell I'm sitting on that. I can walk thank you very much." Addison said and stalked into the hospital, wobbling a little.
Sam shrugged at Charlotte's questioning look. "If she makes hell for me at the hospital, it's you I will have drawn and quartered." Charlotte said, walking after her independent patient.
****
Addison sat on the bed, having a dejavu moment. Sam walked in and kissed her forehead and Charlotte and a nurse followed behind her.
"You need a blood test Montgomery. Then you can sleep here for a bit till the results come back." Charlotte announced and nodded at the nurse to proceed. The nurse collected her sample as the group watched.
"Somehow I like being on the other side of the needle" Addison said, grimacing. She huffed and lay back, scooting over to one side of the bed, making room for and motioning for Sam to join her.
Sam climbed into the bed and put his arm around her. She had lost quite a bit if weight. She put her head on his chest and slept for a while.
*****
Naomi came and popped her head into the room. Sam beckoned for her to join them. Addie was awake, but grumpy. She didn't like just lying there. Naomi smiled secretively at her and pushed Sam out. She wanted some girl time with her best friend. Sick or not. Sam went back to the practice because he had patients to see and both Addie and Nae assured him that they would call as soon as they knew something.
"So what's up?" Addison croaked at her best friend, who was sporting a mile-wide grin.
"White kissed me." Naomi said, looking at Addison closely to gauge her reaction.
"White, like your boss White? Like the multi millionaire White?" Addison asked, her eyes wide with wonder.
"Yessss!" Naomi hissed, gripping Addie's hand in excitement.
"Oh. My. God. This is… this is wow Nae! When? Where?" Addison asked and the two women spent the next two hours acting like teenagers, analysing every word, expression and move.
*****
Charlotte came into the room, holding what was obviously Addie's test results.
"Well, what is it? I want to get rid of this sucker and go to Cabo!" Addison said, sitting up on her bed.
"Well it's two things actually…." Charlotte said hesitating.
"What are they? Nothing serious right?" Naomi asked, concerned for her friend. She didn't like how Charlotte was hesitating.
"You better call your boyfriend and then page me." Charlotte said and walked out.
Addison was puzzled and dazed. "Whaa?" She asked Naomi. The worst possible scenarios were screaming at her. The biggest word flashing in front of her eyes was cancer. She always feared it, had regular check ups, drank that green juice cause it said that it helped prevent it.
Naomi called Sam and asked him to come over immediately. She lay down next to Addison and hugged her. "It's nothing. It cannot be anything Addie." She said over and over again.
****
Sam rushed over to find them in the bed. There were tear tracks on Addie's face, but she was staring at a wall. Naomi looked at Sam and told him to page Charlotte.
Charlotte came in and asked if Nae could step out. Naomi was indignant. "I will not leave my best friend Charlotte!" She said angrily.
"It's not bad. It's very delicate, that's all." Charlotte said, glaring right back at Naomi. Suddenly they heard Addison gasp.
"Oh f***! Oh f***! Oh f***! I'm pregnant. That's it. I'm late, I'm throwing up, my breasts are sore… I'm pregnant." Addison said hysterically. She was freaking out. She looked at Charlotte for confirmation and Charlotte nodded.
A/N: Sooooooo….. What did y'all think? Liked it? Tell me!!! :D Now I must write my work stuff.
