Later in the day Naomi sat in her office shocked, the phone still in her hand, after receiving a call from Charlotte King. "What's wrong Nae?" Addison sat down on the couch in her friend's office, Scarlet was sat at the reception desk with Dell.

"That... that was the St. Ambrose." She swallowed.

"What did they want?"

"Pete had a car accident."

"What?!" All colour drained from Addison's face.

"She didn't give me any details but it sounded serious."

"Oh my god, I have to go see me, I have to make sure he's alright." She quickly stood and made her way to the door.

"Addi wait. D-do you need anything? Shall I come with you or take care of Scarlet and come later or something?"

"Erm." Addison looked at her, her hands shaking.

"Well, Dell can take care of Scarlet and I drive you." Addison just nodded and opened the door. Naomi walked past her through the door towards the reception. "Dell, take care of Scarlet please. Pete is in the hospital, I'll call the practice when I know more." Dell nodded and watched as Naomi led Addison out of the practice.

They drove in silence the whole way to the hospital. Addison rushed in and went straight to the room the nurse has told her before slowly opening the door. Pete lay in his bed motionless, his face swollen and littered with cuts and bruises. "Oh my god Pete." Addison walked towards him as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Pete slowly turned his head towards her. "Addi." He whispered.

"What happened to you?" She gently placed her hands on his cheeks and looked at him.

"I-I was on my way home, from... from the practice and then this, this other car hit me." He whispered, trying to makes his voice sound stronger, but failed.

"I could have lost you." She whispered.

"But I'm here." Pete looked at her, forcing a weak smile on his lips.

"I could have lost you though."

"I'm sorry."

"Never do that to me again."

"I won't."

Addison leaned down and kissed him on the lips. "I love you Pete, I love you so much."

Pete looked at her. "I-I love you, too."

"I want to be with you I want to spend the rest of my life with you, I'm just scared of getting hurt."

"I-I'm sorry that I gave you a reason for being scared. But I, I will never hurt you again." He whispered.

"I know you won't." Pete smiled as he slowly lifted his hand, touching her face gently. "I'm sorry if I hurt you though."

"It wasn't your fault."

"I shouldn't have pushed you away." She ran a thumb over his cheek.

"It's okay."

"It's not."

"I whish you hadn't too. But you had your reasons."

"I want to move in with you, if you still want us."

A smile spread across his lips. "Of course I do, Addi."

"Okay." She smiled as well. "We can be a family."

"Yeah."

"Our son is kicking."

"Really?" He said as he moved one hand slowly towards her stomach. Addison placed her hand on top of his and moved it to the spot where their son was kicking. "Looks like he's celebrating the fact that his parents are finally together."

"It does, Scarlet will be happy as well."

"Oh yeah. Where is she?"

"At the practice with Dell." Pete nodded. "I can go and get her if you want."

"You don't have to. I'm not sure if she should see me like this."

"Okay." Addison nodded. "Have you broken anything?"

"My left leg." She looked down at his leg and saw that it had been plastered. "It looks worse than it is." She nodded with tears in her eyes. "Hey..." He said stroking her cheek. "It's going to be okay."

"I can't lose you." Addison whispered.

"You won't." She lent down and kissed him again. Pete softly kissed her back, his hand still on her cheek.

"I love you."

"I love you, too." He whispered.

"When can you come home?"

"I'm not sure, a couple of days."

"Okay, I can move mine and Scarlet's stuff back then, before you come home."

"Okay." He said, smiling.

"And we can start on the nursery soon." Pete nodded. "And we can go baby shopping and think of names."

"Yeah. Just four more months."

"Yeah." Addison grinned. "And then we can hold our son." Pete just smiled back at her. She ran her thumb over his cheek.

He sighed. "I want to go home with you right now. Not in a couple of days."

"I want you to as well." He smiled. "Maybe you can come home soon."

"I'll talk to my doctor."

"Okay." She smiled.

"You don't have to stay if you need to go to Scarlet or want to go home. I'm good."

"Scarlet's fine with Dell for a little longer, and I want to be here with you."

"Okay." He smiled. Addison took hold of his hand and smiled. "You have no idea how happy I am."

"I think I do. I'm happy as well."

"Good."

"Scarlet will be so happy we're going to yours tonight."

"Yeah." He nodded. "Can you take her with you if you come tomorrow?"

"Of course, I'm sure she'll want to come and see you." Pete smiled. "You should rest."

"But I feel good."

"You should still rest."

"I'm only laying around anyway."

"Still rest." She pecked his lips. "I want you fighting fit."

He smiled. "Okay."

"Good, I should get back to Scarlet now, I want you to rest." She kissed him again.

"I will."

"Good, I'll be back tomorrow and I'll bring Scarlet, just get better." Addison stood up. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Addison kissed him again before leaving.

******

Scarlet was busy playing with Dell when Addison arrived at the practice with Naomi again. Addison walked over to her and pulled her into her arms, hugging her close. "Mommy, where were you?"

"I had to go and see Pete."

"Where is Pete?"

"He's at the hospital sweetie."

"Why?"

"He got hit by a car but he's fine." Addison looked at her daughter.

Scarlet looked at her shocked. "He had an accident? Can I go see him?"

"We'll go tomorrow sweetie."

"But I want to see him now!"

"He's sleeping now."

"Please Mommy, I want to see him."

"Tomorrow I promise sweetie." Addison placed a kiss on her forehead.

Scarlet folded her arms in front of her chest and pouted. "But I want to go to him now."

"Tomorrow, I promise."

"I'm not going anywhere till I see Pete."

Addison sighed as she saw the stubborn look on her daughter's face. "Fine but not for long." Scarlet nodded and beamed at her. Addison set her on her hip and left the practice once more, heading to the hospital.

Pete was trying to get some sleep when the door to his room opened once more. "Hey." Addison smiled and walked in with Scarlet on her hip. "Sorry but Scarlet wanted to see you."

"Hey." Pete smiled at the two of them. "It's okay, I'm happy to see you."

"Daddy!" Scarlet held her arms out to him.

"Hey little one." Pete said, smiling at Scarlet as Addison sat her on the bed next to him.

"Mommy said you had an accident." She wrapped her arms around him.

"Yeah, but I'm fine." He said as he hugged her close, placing a kiss on the top of her head. She nodded and snuggled closer. "Did you have fun with Dell?"

"Yeah."

"Good." He said stroking her back. Scarlet snuggled closer. "My doctor said that I can probably go home in two days." He turned his face towards Addison.

"That's good." Addison smiled. "I wish it was sooner though."

"Yeah, me too." She lent forward and took hold of his hand. Pete squeezed her hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand.

"I love you Pete."

"I love you, too. So, so much."

"Do you love me?" Scarlet looked up at Pete.

Pete smiled at her. "Of course I love you sweetie."

"I love you too daddy." She grinned at him and kissed his cheek. Pete just grinned back at her. "Do we still have to live at Naomi's?"

Pete looked at Addison and then back at Scarlet. "No, you don't. You can move in with me again."

"Really?" Her face lit up.

"Yeah." He smiled. Scarlet just grinned at them. Pete smiled and looked at Addison.

"Hey Scarlet, did you want a baby brother?" Addison smiled at her daughter realising they hadn't told her the baby was a boy. Scarlet nodded. "Well in five months time, you'll have a baby brother." Scarlet gasped and a huge grin spread across her face. "How does that sound?"

"I'm going to have a little brother." She stated and clapped her hands.

"You are, and you can help us choose a name if you like."

"Yay!"

Addison smiled. "Come on we should go home now, let Pete sleep." She held her arms out to her daughter. Scarlet pouted, but didn't protest as Addison took her and sat her on her hip. "We'll come back tomorrow I promise."

Scarlet nodded and leaned towards Pete, kissing his cheek once again. "Good night, daddy."

"Night Pete." Addison lent forward and kissed him on the lips. "Get some rest."

Pete nodded. "Good night."

"We'll come back tomorrow."

"I love you."

"I love you too." Addison smiled and shifted Scarlet on her hip before she walked towards the door. As Pete watched them leaving he still couldn't believe all that had happened that day and how fast things had changed, it felt like a dream.
