Hey guys, I know it's been months since I updated this story but Zoe and I had problems getting the files from an old laptop. Anyway, I hope a few of you are still interested because there are loads of more chapters to come!
Leave us a review and tell us what you think :) Enjoy!
They only got a few hours of sleep, when Pete was woken up the next morning by Addison who was mumbling his name and shoving his side slightly.
"Peteee." She shoved him. "Peteee."
"Hmmm?" He blinked a few times, looking at her tiredly.
"I feel sick, and my head hurts," she whined.
"Because you drank too much last night."
"I think I'm going to throw up." Addison's eyes widened her hand over her mouth.
Pete looked at her and sat up quickly. "Come on, I'll help you into the bathroom." Addison let Pete help her into the bathroom before she bent over the toilet, throwing up. Pete stood behind her and held her hair out of her face. She leaned back against Pete, her eyes closed. "Are you okay?" He sat down behind her so she could lean against him better.
"I feel horrible," she complained.
"Poor baby." He ran his hand up and down her arm.
"I am never drinking again."
"Okay." He nodded. "I'll stop you next time."
"Thank you," she sighed before leaning forward and throwing up again. Pete sighed and held her hair back again, his other hand resting on her back. "I hate being sick," she whined, sitting up again.
"I know." He ran his hand over her back and Addison closed her eyes, her head resting against his chest. "Do you need anything?"
"Just sleep."
"Want to go back to bed?"
"Yeah." Addison nodded.
"Okay." He nodded and carefully got up from the floor. She let him pick her up in his arms, carrying her back to the bed and tucking her in. He looked at her and sat down on his side of the bed.
"Will you hold me?" Addison whispered and looked at him.
"Of course." He smiled slightly and lay down, wrapping his arms around her.
"Thank you." Addison turned, burying her head into his chest.
"No need to thank me," he whispered and ran his hands over her back. She let out a small sigh, closing her eyes again. He continued to run his hand over her back soothingly as she was cuddled up into his side. It wasn't long before Addison had drifted off to sleep again and Pete held her, hoping she'd feel better when she woke up again.

Hours later and Addison was still fast sleep in Pete's arms. Pete had fallen asleep again as well and they were lying cuddled up in the middle of the bed.
Bizzy quietly walked into the bedroom, wanting to check on Addison and she stopped and looked at them as she saw that they were both fast asleep. She gave a smile, seeing her daughter snuggled up in Pete's arms, even though it wasn't any different from when they were best friends. They had always felt this way about each other. She was glad that they had finally woken up and were together, there wasn't anyone other than Archer she trusted more than Pete with Addison. She knew that this would last between them; their bond had grown too strong over the years. She knew that they were it for each other, there was no one else. There never had been anyone else for them, they were meant to be together.
Slowly Bizzy closed the door again, walking out and leaving them alone as they continued to sleep peacefully in each other's arms.

When Pete woke up an hour and a half later, Addison was once again in the bathroom, vomiting. He heard her and got up quickly, making his way into the bathroom. Addison was holding her hair back with one hand, her other on the toilet bowl, holding herself up as she puked. Pete rushed to her side and wrapped an arm around her to support her.
"I've never felt this bad before." She got out between heaving.
"I'm so sorry, babe." He gave a sigh and looked at her helplessly.
"I feel so horrible." She leaned back on her knees, her head resting on his shoulder. He ran his hand over her arm and placed a kiss on her hair. "I am not drinking again."
"Yeah…"
"I just want to crawl into a hole and sleep right now."
"You should eat something and drink water."
"I want to sleep."
"Then sleep."
"I will." Addison nodded and wiped her mouth, before taking a drink of water and standing up. Pete got up as well and they walked back into the bedroom where Addison crawled under the covers, pulling them up over her head.
"Call me if you need anything."
"Hmm," Addison mumbled, closing her eyes. Pete looked at her worried before he walked down the stairs quietly to get some coffee.
"Morning." Bizzy smiled at him.
"Morning." Pete smiled back.
"How are you feeling this morning?" She raised an eyebrow.
"I, erm, I'm feeling okay." He smiled slightly.
"What about Addison?"
"She's not feeling very well." He shook his head.
"How bad is she?" Bizzy looked at him and made him a cup of coffee, handing it to him before taking a sip of her own.
"Thanks," he said as he took the cup. "She says she never felt more horrible."
"I'll go check on her, take her some water."
"Okay." Pete nodded. Bizzy smiled and placed her cup on the side, getting a glass of water before making her way up the stairs to Addison. She quietly opened the door and walked in to see that Addison was still led with the covers up over her head.
"Addi," Bizzy spoke quietly and walked towards her.
"Hmm," Addison groaned.
"Here, drink the water."
Addison pulled the covers down from her head, looking at her mother.
"Here." She handed her the glass.
"Thanks," Addison mumbled and took a sip.
"How are you feeling?" Bizzy looked at her.
"Like crap." She placed the glass on the side, lying down again.
"You always do when you get drunk."
"Never like this. I am seriously not drinking again."
"That's what you always say."
Addison groaned and closed her eyes. "Don't shout."
"No one is shouting," Bizzy laughed slightly.
"Pleaseeeeeeeeee," Addison begged. "My head hurts."
"Okay, okay. Do you need anything?"
"I don't know."
"Well, I don't know either."
Addison sighed, closing her eyes and Bizzy looked at her before walking to the door again. "Do you still have George?" Addison whispered, referring to her childhood teddy.
"Erm, yeah." She nodded.
"Where?"
"He's sitting over there." Bizzy pointed to Addison's old dresser.
"Can you get him for me?" Addison opened her eyes and looked at her mother.
"Sure." Bizzy gave a smile and walked over to get her teddy.
"Thank you." Addison smiled and reached for her teddy, cuddling him close once Bizzy had handed him to her. Bizzy smiled at her before she walked to the door again. Addison closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep once more as Bizzy quietly closed the door and made her way back downstairs. She smiled at Pete as she walked back into the kitchen.
"How is she?" Pete looked at her.
"She's cuddled up with George, sleeping."
"Oh." Pete nodded and smiled, remembering Addison's old teddy.
"Yeah, hopefully she'll sleep it off." Bizzy smiled.
"Yeah, hopefully." Pete nodded and took another sip of his coffee. Just then Archer walked down the stairs and made his way into the kitchen, Bizzy raising an eyebrow at him.
"I need coffee," he mumbled. Bizzy rolled her eyes, pouring him a cup of coffee and pushing it into his hands. "Thanks," he muttered and sat down by the table.
"Looks like you're suffering." Bizzy smiled slightly.
"I'm fine. Just tired."
"Hmm, of course." She raised an eyebrow. Archer glared at her and took another sip of his coffee. "You're all hung over." She stated simply.
"Not as bad as Addison though."
"Hmm, that's true, but she's never been able to handle it properly."
"Yeah." Archer smiled slightly and Bizzy rolled her eyes at her son. "But she had her fun." Archer shrugged.
"I'm sure she did." Bizzy nodded, not doubting it. Archer smiled and gave Pete a look. "What?" Bizzy frowned, seeing Archer's look.
"Nothing." Archer shrugged slightly and shook his head, smiling.
"Archer, what do you know?" Bizzy put her hands on her hips.
"What? I don't know...anything." He looked at her.
"Yes, you do."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Archer looked at his mother before he glanced at Pete.
"Yes you do. I can tell by your face."
Archer just shrugged, but couldn't help but smile a little.
"Archer Forbes Montgomery," Bizzy scolded and stood in front of him. "What is going on?"
"It's nothing, mum, seriously."
"Pete?" Bizzy turned and looked at Pete.
"Erm, I don't know what he means." Pete looked at her, unsure about what she wanted to hear now.
"But you do. What is going on here?"
"Mum, we don't know what you're talking about."
"You do." Bizzy looked between them, an eyebrow raised trying to figure out what it was.
"Please," Archer sighed.
"Fine." Bizzy looked at them.
"Thanks." Archer looked at her before taking a sip of his coffee.

At lunch time, Archer made his way up the stairs to see if his sister wanted anything to eat. He walked into her room, seeing her still cuddled up under the blanket. Quietly he made his way over to the bed to her.
"Addi?" he whispered.
"Hmm," she mumbled, slowly opening her eyes.
"I was wondering if you want to eat something maybe?"
"What has mum cooked?"
"We're just having sandwiches."
"What's in them?" Addison rolled onto her back, looking at her brother.
"I don't know. Cheese, ham, tomatoes, salad..."
Addison screwed her nose up at the thought of tomatoes.
"I'm sure mum will make you your own sandwiches." He rolled his eyes.
"Okay then." She nodded her head.
"Come on then." He held her hand out to her. Addison smiled and took hold of his hand, getting up from the bed. Archer led her out of her room and they made their way downstairs. Addison sat down at the table, next to Pete, leaning her head on his shoulder.
"How are you?" He looked down at her and placed a hand on her back.
"My head still hurts a bit," she sighed.
"You should eat." He ran his hand over her back.
"I will." Addison nodded and snuggled closer to him. Pete smiled and placed a kiss on her hair. Edward smiled as he watched Pete with Addison.
"What do you want in your sandwich, Addi?" Bizzy looked at her.
"Chicken and stuffing." Addison smiled at her mother.
"Okay." Bizzy nodded and made Addison her sandwich.
"Thanks, mum." Addison smiled as Bizzy placed her sandwich in front of her.
"You're welcome." Bizzy looked at them and sat down as well. Addison sat up, taking a small bite of her sandwich while Pete watched her as he took a bite of his own.
"So, Archer," Edward started. "How long do we get your company for?"
"I think I'll drive back home tonight."
"Ah, okay." Edward nodded at his son as he ate his sandwiches.
"So, did you at least have fun last night?" Bizzy looked at her daughter.
"I always have fun." Addison smiled, taking another bite. Bizzy rolled her eyes at her and ate as well. "Whaat?" Addison grinned at her mother.
"Nothing." Bizzy shrugged. "Archer just seemed like he knew something before but he refused to say anything."
"What do you mean?" Addison frowned slightly.
"I don't know." Bizzy shrugged again. Addison frowned, looking at her brother. Archer just smiled and shrugged, eating his sandwich.
"Archie, what did you mean?" Addison questioned.
"Nothing, really." He looked at Addison and Addison raised her eyebrows, knowing her brother better than that. "Not now," he whispered and gave her a look. She looked at him, wondering what he meant. Archer rolled his eyes and continued to eat while Addison turned back to her sandwich again, eating. Bizzy watched them slightly and they carried on eating.
"So how's med school going?" Edward asked.
"Pretty good." Pete nodded.
"Good." Edward smiled.
"We have a couple of exams during the next weeks."
"Ah, so you're spending most of your time studying."
"Erm, yeah..." Pete nodded. Edward nodded as well, eating his sandwich while Pete gave a smile and they all continued to eat.
"I think I'm going to take a bath," Addison announced and pushed her plate away from her.
"Okay." Bizzy nodded. "But please don't fall asleep."
"Why would I fall asleep?" Addison stood up and looked at her mother.
"Because you're hung over."
"I won't fall asleep."
"Okay, I'm just saying."
"I'll be fine, mum." Addison smiled.
"Okay." Bizzy looked at her. Addison smiled, leaving the kitchen and making her way to her bathroom to take a bath while the four of them stayed in the kitchen and finished their sandwiches.
