Three days later and Addison and Archer arrived in LA. They made their way to Addison's new house to drop off their things before going to the practice. Archer looked around as they walked out of the elevator at the practice, looking around in the lobby. Addison glanced around, looking to see if she could see Pete.

Just then Naomi walked out of an exam room and spotted them standing there. "Addi!" She smiled widely and walked towards her.

"Nae." Addison grinned and hugged her friend tightly.

"I'm so glad you're here again." Naomi smiled and hugged her back.

"It's good to be here."

"And you brought Archer." Naomi looked at him and smiled.

"I didn't have a choice about that." Addison smiled and looked at her brother.

"Shush, Ads." Archer smiled and Addison laughed softly as Naomi gave Archer a hug.

"Were you at the house already?" Naomi looked at Addison.

"Yes. It looks lovely, Nae, thanks." Addison smiled in thanks at her friend.

"I'm glad you like it."

"It's perfect." Addison smiled. "Where's Pete?"

"Oh, in his office I think."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "I'm going to go say hello." She turned from her brother and friend and walked towards Pete's office. Naomi smiled and watched as Addison walked away. Addison stood outside Pete's office, looking in and seeing him alone before she smiled and walked in. "Hey stranger."

Pete was looking for something in the cupboard and turned around as he heard her voice. "Addison." He smiled widely. She grinned and walked closer to him. He smiled and walked towards her, instantly reaching for her and pulling her close. Addison wrapped her arms and let him pull her close, before she pressed her lips softly to his. Pete kissed her softly, his arms wrapped around her waist.

"I missed you." She mumbled into the kiss.

"I missed you too." He mumbled back. "So much."

"I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere." They continued to kiss, the kiss getting more passionate. Pete held her as close as he could, a hand tangled into her hair. Her arms were tightly around his neck, pulling him close. They kept on kissing passionately and Pete lightly pressed her against the counter.

"You really missed me, didn't you?" She whispered.

"More than you think."

Addison smiled against his lips. "Did you tell Tara?"

"I... not everything, I was going to, I just..." He looked at her.

She pulled back and looked at him. "You haven't told her anything have you?"

"I... told her I met you in New York."

"You have to tell her about us, about the baby." Addison completely pulled away from him.

"I will, as soon as I'm home. I'm sorry."

"You have to tell her before we can start anything."

"I'll tell her today."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "Good."

"I'm sorry." He looked at her.

"Why didn't you tell her?"

"I wanted to tell her, I was just... afraid she wouldn't take it well."

"You should tell her. She should know she's going to become a big sister."

"I know."

Addison nodded and looked at him. "My brother's here."

"Oh okay. What is he doing here?"

"He wants to meet you and to help me settle in."

"Okay." Pete nodded.

"I don't know how long he's staying."

"Okay. Were you at the house already?"

"Yes." She smiled. "It's lovely."

"Yeah." Pete smiled as well.

"You and Nae did a good job. Thank you."

"No problem."

"How long did it take you?"

"Not long, a weekend."

"Wow." She smiled.

"It was worth it if you like it."

"I do like it." Addison grinned.

"Good." Pete smiled widely.

"I can start decorating the nursery soon."

"Yeah. I'll help you."

"Thanks." She smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. Pete looked at her hand and placed his own above it. Addison's smile widened and their fingers linked together. Pete looked up at her and smiled. "I think it's a little girl." Addison smiled at Pete.

"Really?" He smiled at her.

"Yeah." She nodded.

"What make you think that?"

"It just feels like a girl."

Pete smiled at her and nodded.

"Would you mind having another girl?"

"Of course not."

Addison smiled and looked at him. "Wouldn't you like a son?"

"I would, but another girl would make me just as happy."

"Do you want to find out the sex or wait until I give birth?"

"I don't mind."

"Well, I'll be able to tell after a while." She smiled.

"True." He smiled. "Well if you know I want to know as well."

"Okay then."

"When is your next scan?"

"I'm going to ask Nae to do it next month."

"Okay." He nodded.

"You'll be there won't you?"

"Of course I will."

"Good." Addison smiled and pecked his lips. "I better get back to my brother."

"Oh okay."

"Once you've told Tara we can all got out for a meal."

"Yeah, we should do that."

"Ring me once you've told Tara."

"I will."

"Good." She nodded and kissed him again. Pete placed a hand on her waist and kissed her back. Addison smiled and kissed him a little longer before pulling back and walking to the door. Pete smiled and watched as she left his office again.

That night after Pete cleared up the kitchen he made his way upstairs towards Tara's bedroom.

"Hey dad." Tara looked at him from where she sat on her bed.

"Hey baby." He smiled and walked in.

"What's up?"

"Can I talk to you?"

"Sure." Tara nodded at him, wondering what he wanted to talk about. Pete gave a smile and sat down on her bed. "Is something wrong, dad?" She looked at him.

"No, nothing's wrong." He shook his head.

"Okay, what do you want to talk to me about then?"

"Well, do you remember when I told you that I met Addison in New York?"

"Yeah." Tara nodded.

"She is going to move here now, to LA."

"Why are you telling me this?" Tara looked at him confused.

Pete looked at her. "Because we spent a lot of time together when I was there…"

"You, had a fling with her?"

"Erm... yes." He looked at her.

"And what now? You're just going to start a relationship with her?"

"I want to be with her, yes."

"You don't even know her." Tara looked at her father.

"I do know her."

"You had a fling with her once! Then you went to New York and spent a weekend with her. You do not know her, dad."

"I know I haven't known her for very long, but it feels like I really know her. It's different with her."

Tara scoffed at him. "It won't be any different than any of the other woman you have dated."

"That's not true, Tara, it is different with her."

"It'll just be the same!" Tara looked at him. "You'll get bored of her after a few weeks and not call and you'll move onto someone else."

"No, Tara, it won't be like that with her." He looked at her. "I really want to be with her. She's different than other women."

"I doubt that."

"But it's the truth."

"I don't believe you, dad."

"Why not, Tara? I wouldn't tell you that if I wasn't sure about it. I want to be with her."

"I don't want her in my life."

Pete looked at her shocked.

"I don't want her in my life. I don't want another woman trying to be my mother!"

"She's not like that, Tara, really."

"I don't want her in my life." Tara crossed her arms and looked at Pete.

"But you don't even know her." He looked at her.

"I don't want to know her."

"Why not, Tara?"

"I don't want another woman in my life! You don't even know her so why are you even bothering? Why did she even move here?"

"She's pregnant."

Tara stared at him in shock.

"But that's not the only reason she's here, we really want to be together." Pete looked at her.

"I don't care."

"What? Tara, that's not you, you don't act like that usually."

"I don't want her in my life!" Tara looked at her father. She was scared of becoming attached to Addison, then have Pete leave her like he did most women.

"Tara..." He looked at her. "You won't even give her a chance."

"I don't care. I don't want her in my life and I don't want a brother or a sister."

"Tara..." Pete couldn't believe she was saying this.

"No. I don't want it."

"But she's pregnant; you're going to be a big sister."

"I don't care."

"So you refuse to even give her a chance?"

"Yes." Tara nodded.

"But she really wants to get to know you, Tara. She is not like other woman, she's different."

"Well tough. You don't know her, she could be conning you for all you know. She could be lying to you."

"She's not lying to me, Tara."

"You don't know that. How can you be so sure she's pregnant? That you're the father?"

"Why would she lie to me? Telling me she's pregnant if she's not?"

"I don't know. I'm not her. But she could be and you're just going along with it, no questions asked."

"I know you don't believe me, but I do know her, and I know she's not lying to me."

"You don't know that for sure." Tara leaned back against her pillows as she looked at him. "I don't want her in my life." Pete just looked back at her. "You can start a relationship with her if you want, but I'll go to Gran's if you do."

"I won't start a relationship with her if you don't want me to." Pete looked away.

"I don't."

"Okay." He nodded.

"Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Yeah, that's it." Pete walked to the door.

"Okay." Tara nodded and watched him. Pete left her room again and closed the door behind him.

Tara didn't want to be mean; she just didn't want to grow attached to someone only to have them leave after.

Pete sighed and made his way down the stairs and sat down on the couch. He promised Addison he would call her, but what was he supposed to tell her now? He had no idea how to tell her, it would break her heart. He sighed and reached for his phone. His thumb hovered over the call button once he had Addison's number up. He wanted to be with her so badly, but he couldn't, not if his daughter was against it.

"Hello?" Addison answered after a few rings.

"Hey, it's me."

"Hey Pete." She smiled.

"I, erm, you wanted me to call after I told Tara."

"You told her? What did she say?"

"It's all a bit much for her..."

"She doesn't want us to get together?"

"No."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "Okay."

"She just needs some time, Addison."

"I'm not going to do anything that is going to upset her."

"I know, me neither.

"It's fine, Pete."

"It is not fine."

"She's your daughter. She comes first with you, not me."

"It's a lot to take in, she just needs time."

Addison nodded. "Okay."

"Yeah."

"It's fine. Does she know about the baby?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"What did she say about that?"

Pete hesitated. "She said she doesn't care."

"I should have stayed in New York."

"No. She was just surprised, she didn't except that at all."

"I shouldn't have come here."

"Addison..."

"I'm intruding on your family."

"You not, you didn't do anything."

"I am."

"You're not, Addison."

"I'm not going to come in between you and Tara."

"I know, and I'm not doing anything she doesn't want, I can't. But she just needs some time to get used to the idea. It's all a bit much for her."

"Okay."

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine, you don't have to worry."

"I just... I want you to know that I really want to be with you."

"Tara doesn't want that to happen and I don't expect you to be with me when she doesn't."

"I know, but that doesn't change the fact that I want to be with you... even if, we can't, yet."

Addison nodded. "Okay."

"I'm sorry it didn't work out the way I wanted it to."

"It's fine."

"Okay."

"I'll let you get back to Tara."

"Okay." He nodded.

"I'll see you tomorrow. Bye Pete."

"I'll see you. Good night, Addison."

"Night." Addison hung up the phone. Pete sighed and leaned back into the couch, putting his phone aside.
