A/N: Remember me? Probably not and I'm sure those of you who do remember me hate me by now. I am sorry for the alck of updates for however long it's been, things have been too hectic for me to get around to actually updating. It's a New Year now so hopefully I will be sticking to updating each week without fail and hopefully you all won't hate me quite so much anymore.

Three weeks later, Addison was sat on her bed in the exam room as she waited for Naomi to run a few more tests before the surgery. She swallowed the lump in her throat and tried to calm herself.

"Alright?" Naomi smiled softly as she looked at her friend. "Is Pete coming soon?"

"He's on his way." Addison nodded.

"Good." She nodded. "Shall we get started?"

"No. Not until Pete is here."

"Okay." She gave an understanding smile.

"Thank you." Addison gave a nervous smile.

"Try to stay calm."

"I'm trying. It's easier said than done."

"I know." Naomi nodded and reached for her friend's hand to give it a squeeze just as the door to the room opened. Addison breathed a sigh of relief as she saw Pete and held a hand out to him.

"Sorry, traffic," he apologized a little out of breath as he took hold of her hand to stand by her side.

"It's okay. You're here now."

"I am." Pete nodded as he linked his fingers with hers before he looked at Naomi.

"Okay, we're ready." Addison took a deep breath and looked at her friend.

"Good." Naomi nodded. "I have to take one last exam and also do a compulsory pregnancy test, just to be on the safe side. Once that's done we can start prepping you for the surgery."

Addison nodded. "Okay. Do what you have to." Naomi nodded as well and began to do the tests while Pete stayed by Addison's side. Addison turned her gaze from her friend and looked up at Pete.

He gave her a smile and placed his free hand on her back. "Are you alright?" She nodded slowly and let out a slow breath. "Do you need anything?"

"No." She shook her head.

"Okay." Pete nodded and gently squeezed her hand. She squeezed back and turned her head to look at Naomi who finished the exam and the test before she turned to smile at them.

"I'm going to get the nurse to prep you while we get the results for the test."

Addison nodded and tried to let herself relax a little.

"I'll be back in a while." Naomi looked at them before she turned and left the room.

"I'm so scared," Addison whispered as Naomi left the room.

"I know." Pete wrapped an arm around her as she sat on the bed.

"What if this doesn't work?"

"Then we'll find another way."

Addison nodded slowly and tears began to shine in her eyes.

"Hey," Pete whispered and placed a hand on her cheek as he looked down at her.

"This is our only chance," she whispered.

"And we'll try and take it. We have to stay positive."

"We have no control over whether this works or not, Pete."

"We can still stay positive."

She gave a nod and turned her gaze to around the room. Pete kept an arm around her and his fingers linked with hers as they waited for the nurse.

Half an hour later Naomi walked back into the room with the results that she needed.

"Erm, could you leave us alone for a minute, please?" Naomi gave the nurses a polite smile.

Addison's face fell at the sound of her friend's voice. "There's something wrong, isn't there?"

Naomi waited until the nurses closed the door behind them before she turned to face Addison and Pete. "I'm afraid we can't do the IVF."

"I never should have thought about doing this." Addison shook her head and tried not to cry. "I knew it wouldn't work. I was kidding myself."

"Addison." Naomi looked at her friend sternly before her lips curved into a smile. "It was positive. The pregnancy test I did was positive. You're already pregnant."

She froze at her friend's words. "Wh…what?"

"You're pregnant, Addi." She gave a teary smile. "It's a miracle but it's the truth. I checked twice."

"But…" Addison trailed off. She didn't know what to say. She didn't know what to think. Pregnant. She was pregnant and they had conceived naturally.

"Are you sure?" Pete looked at Naomi in disbelief. "You tested twice?"

"Run the test again." Addison looked at her friend.

"I just ran it, Addison." Naomi looked back at her. "You can see the results for yourself. Both are positive."

"Run it again," she demanded.

"Alright." Naomi nodded slowly. "I'll draw some more blood and run it again."

"Thank you." Addison nodded.

Pete stood by the side of Addison's bed and watched in silence as Naomi got more blood from Addison and then left the room once more. Addison didn't utter a word as they waited for the test results, instead she stared straight ahead. Pete watched her the whole time before he silently took hold of her hand. She linked their fingers together but did not turn her head to look at him. Neither of them spoke a single word and it seemed like an eternity until Naomi returned.

"Well?" Addison asked and looked up at her friend.

"It's positive," Naomi spoke quietly. "Just like the first two. You're pregnant, Addi." Addison stared at her friend before she got up off the bed and left the room.

"Addison." Pete looked after her but she didn't stop, she carried on going. He sighed before he walked past Naomi out of the room to follow her. She had turned straight into the ladies and locked herself into a cubicle. She leaned against the wall before she buried her face into her hands. Slowly she let her body slide down to the floor before she let the tears fall, the sobs racking through her body. There was a knock against the door to the ladies room but she ignored it as she cried. Instead, Addison hugged her knees close to her chest and tried to cry quietly.

"Addison?" Pete's voice rang inside from where he was stood in front of the door. She gave a small sniffle and buried her face into her knees. She could hear the door open and close and someone walk inside, but no one said anything. Addison stayed as quiet as possible.

"Addison," Pete began softly. "Are you alright?" She let out a shaky breath but did not reply. He leaned against the door of her cubicle and gave a sigh. "Can you unlock the door?"

"No," she whispered.

"Why not?"

"Because." Addison sniffled again. Pete nodded and didn't say anything else. "I want to be alone," she whispered.

"Alright." He pushed himself off the wall.

Addison gave a nod but didn't say anything more. She could hear the door open and close once more before silence filled the room. Another shaky breath left her lips before she leaned back and placed a hand on her stomach. She couldn't believe that she was pregnant.

Pregnant.

There was actually a life growing inside of her. A life that she was sure she'd never get. She'd thrown her chances away. Why should she be given another chance? There was almost no hope for her to ever get pregnant again and now here she was. She couldn't get her head around the idea. She was going to be a mother. This had been her dream for so long and now it was actually going to happen. It didn't seem real. It didn't seem possible. She had nearly lost all hope, how could she be pregnant? It couldn't be true. It just couldn't be. The tests couldn't be right. They just couldn't be.

Addison took a deep breath and stood up from the floor. She took some toilet paper to wipe away the tears from her cheeks before she unlocked the door and straightened herself up in front of the mirror. She splashed some water onto her face and took another deep breath before she walked out of the bathroom. She made her way along the hallway and back to her room where she could get changed.

Once Addison had changed, she made her way to Naomi's office and walked inside. Naomi was sat behind her desk and glanced up when she heard someone walk in.

"I want to see the results."

"They're in your file."

Addison nodded and made her way over to Naomi's desk where her file lay.

"I ran the test three times, Addison." Naomi watched her best friend. Addison was silent as she stared down at the results. "I know it's hard to believe. It really is a miracle."

"But…but…how?" Slowly Addison lowered herself down into a chair.

"I guess the hormones worked." Naomi shrugged and gave a soft smile. "And you and Pete got really lucky."

"I don't understand. It was nearly impossible."

"There was still a chance, that's why you tried in the first place."

Addison leaned back and didn't tear her gaze from the positive results in her hands.

"Are you okay?" Naomi watched her.

"I…yes." She nodded. "I'm pregnant. I'm actually pregnant."

"You are." She nodded.

"Oh my god."

"I thought you'd react like that."

"I'm having a baby! A baby for god's sake." Addison buried her face into her hands. "Oh my god. I'm going to screw up. They're going to hate me. My own child is going to hate me."

"Don't be stupid." Naomi rolled her eyes, knowingly. "You'll be a great mum, Addi."

"No, I won't," she wailed. "I'll be a failure."

"You won't be a failure."

"Yes, I will! I've screwed everything up in my life. I'll screw my baby's life up. Oh my god."

"Addi, you need to calm down." Naomi watched her. "You're not alone, okay? You will be fine."

Addison sighed and briefly closed her eyes. "I need to go and see Pete."

"Where is he?"

"I don't know. I need to find him." Addison stood up from the chair and left the office. She made her way along the hallway towards his office but when she pushed open the door she found it empty. "Pete?" she called and made her way towards the kitchen. She could see him standing with his back towards her, talking to Sam.

"Pete," she called softly and hung back. He turned around at the sound of her voice and looked at her in silence. Sam glanced between the two of them before he quietly left the room to give them privacy. "Can we talk in my office?" she asked.

"Sure." He gave a small nod.

Once they were inside Addison's office and sat down on the couch, Addison began to talk. "I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant and I'm scared."

"I know." Pete nodded as he looked at her.

"I didn't…" She looked down at her hands. "I didn't expect to fall pregnant," she admitted quietly.

"But you are now."

"And I am so scared." She looked up at him.

"I am too, but we'll be okay."

"What if I screw up? What if something happens?"

"Parents screw up from time to time."

"They'll hate me," she whispered and looked at Pete.

"Why would they hate you?" Pete looked down at her.

"I'm a screw up, Pete. Every important relationship I've screwed up."

"You're not a screw up and you'll be a great mum."

"I'm not so sure," she whispered as she shook her head.

Pete sighed and looked at her. "Can't you just be happy for five minutes? You've spent the last couple of weeks worrying and now...I mean it actually worked."

"We're having a baby." Addison gave him a watery smile as the tears began to build up.

"We are." He nodded.

"I'm actually pregnant."

Pete looked down at her and gave a small smile.

"We're pregnant." She smiled back at him.

"We're going to have a baby." He nodded. Addison reached out and took hold of his hand before she placed it on her stomach. Pete looked down at his hand and slowly spread his fingers on the fabric of her shirt.

"Our baby," she whispered.

"Our baby." He smiled softly as he glanced up into her face.

"We're going to be parents."

"I know," Pete spoke quietly. "Did Naomi tell you how far along you are?"

"No." She shook her head. "We haven't got that far yet." Pete nodded and absently began to caress her stomach. "We'll find out together," she whispered. He nodded once more before he wrapped his free arm around her to pull her closer. Addison leaned into his side instantly and placed her hand on top of his on her stomach.

Pete placed a kiss on the top of her head and smiled softly. "We have to be careful now," he spoke softly.

"We do." She nodded. "I don't want to loose our baby."

"I'm going to have to make sure you rest and eat enough."

"I will. You won't have to worry," she reassured him.

"I'm still going to worry." He gave a small shrug.

"I know." Addison nodded and rested her head on his shoulder.

"I can't believe I'm going to be a dad." Pete smiled.

"I'll be a mum," she whispered. "We'll be parents."

"It's scary, but we'll have each other."

"No matter what."
