A/N: I hope you like this next chapter. This is set another 2 months after Mark and Addison finally decided to be seen in Public. So they have been together for 3 months now. Please Review.
After the first time they went out together Addison thought screw it, life was too short to worry about what other people thought about her relationship with Mark. They loved each other and had done for years so yeah basically screw what everyone else thought. No-one except Mark and Addison knew what they had to go through to be together. No one knew that Derek just wasn't the one Addison should have married 10 years ago.
They had been so happy now for 2 months the gossip and vicious rumours had all but stopped as other new and exciting dramas filled the hospital.
Addison sat in her office and was madly flicking through her diary. She was so particular and organized and circled the date when her menstrual cycle started. She was one of those lucky women who had a 28 day cycle. Finding the date she had last circled, her mind started to add the days up. 40 days since her last period.
40 days! No that can't be right. Addison added the days up again. Shit it is 40 days. Oh well calm down Addie it is all the stress with Derek leaving and him not returning calls to sort out a settlement, and a divorce. No there is no way I'm pregnant. Is there?? No we are using protection, I mean yes I'm off the contraceptive pill but we have been using condoms. Oh yeah not every time though, like those weekend mornings in the shower, oh and there was that time in Marks office. Oh god that was great sex. Stop focus Addie. You are going to have to get a pregnancy test that's all.
Addison went and retrieved 3 pregnancy tests from the medical supply cupboard. She locked herself in the bathroom and proceeded to get not 1 but 3 positive results. Oh Shit!!
She was in 2 minds; a part of her was so deliriously happy, the other part was scared out of her mind. They had never talked about children, they had never expected to have a life together up until 3 months ago, and therefore the subject of children had just never come up. Mark didn't even really like children he always avoided them. I have to tell him, I just don't know how he will feel about it.
Addison was just about to leave for the day she wanted to tell Mark the news and discuss how he felt about it, or really how they both felt about it. She was stopped by an emergency on her way out that she was needed for. She rang Mark quickly to let him know she wouldn't be home until 10.00pm.
After the emergency C-Section was performed a very tied Addison made her way to Mark's apartment to find him in bed watching TV.
"Mark" She called out as she entered the apartment.
"I'm in the bedroom" he called out.
Addison slipped her shoes off and walked into the bedroom. Mark was lying in bed clad only in long PJ Pants looking so sexy without even trying.
"Hey beautiful, how did the surgery go?" he asked
"Good, Mother and baby are doing just fine"
"Of course they are, you're the best. You look tied babe" he said as she sat down on the bed next to him. She leant down and kissed him gently on the lips.
"I am it's been a strange day" She replied vaguely.
"Are you OK?" he asked "Have you heard from Derek?"
"No No, he still won't return any of my calls and I haven't heard anything from my lawyer to say he has acknowledged the divorce papers"
"Mmm well he can't ignore it forever"
"No um Mark um I ah need to talk to you about something "
"God that doesn't sound good. Is something wrong?" Mark turned the volume down on the TV and sat up a little straighter in bed and took her hands in his.
"Wrong um well no not really, well I just"
"Addie please just tell me" he said getting a little anxious
"Oh Mark, I never planned this and it is really unexpected and I did the test 3 times"
"Are you sick? What tests? Addison what is it?" Mark was now out of bed and sitting next to her cupping her face with his hand.
"I'm pregnant"
Mark still had his hand on her face and just looked into her eyes; he couldn't speak, for the first time in his life he was speechless.
"Mark" she said quietly
"Are you sure, I mean we always use protection"
"I did the test 3 times with 3 positive results. Besides we haven't always used protection; does sex in the shower ring any bells"
"Oh yeah and in my office"
"See not always"
"Well how do you feel about it?" he asked
"Honestly I'm not sure. A part of me is happy really happy, I have always wanted a child, but you know the timing was never right. The other part of me is a little scared, I mean we have only been together for 3 months, it's a little soon"
"Yeah I guess but a baby, I mean OUR baby that's huge." He said smiling
"So you're not mad"
"Of course not, a little shocked maybe but not mad no"
"We haven't ever talked about children. You don't really like kids"
"But this is a little different this would be our baby. I've thought about it over the years" He added
"Us having a baby"
"Yeah, I always imagined if we had a little girl she would have your hair and if we had a little boy I imagine he would have your eyes and be a total heartbreaker"
"Just like you" She said
"Hey not anymore, I am totally a one woman man these days"
"I know. I just don't know what to think, I'm not even divorced and I'm pregnant to another man"
"Is that you're only concern?"
"No I just don't know if we are ready"
"I do. I think we are ready. I think it will be amazing, we can have our own family Addie it's what we have both always wanted"
"Yeah, it is. Are you sure? I mean are we really going to do this?"
"Yes, let's have this baby" He said as he took her in his arms and kissed her.
"Come and have a shower with me? She asked
Mark just smiled and followed her into the bathroom and they had a long warm shower together and made love. The same shower where the baby Addison was carrying was probably conceived.
"I didn't even ask, How far along are you?" Mark asked as they lay in bed together wrapped in each other's arms.
"I'm 6 weeks. We can do a scan in 2 more weeks to have a look"
"This is all so much to take in. I mean 3 and a half months ago I could never have imagined this happening. Just too finally be with you was the best thing I could ever have dreamed of, but now a baby on the way it's just so amazing"
"Now I know you want this, I really do too." Addison said smiling
Mark let his hand rest protectively over her stomach and kissed Addison gently on the lips.
"We have to get in touch with Derek" Mark said
"Yes, if he won't return my calls we are just going to have to fly to Seattle to get him to sign the divorce papers."
"Maybe he doesn't want to sign them"
"Well bad luck, I'm getting a divorce. He wants it too. I can't understand why he won't return my calls. I know he is still pissed off with us, but surely he wants to put it all behind him."
"I think he just wants to make life difficult for us"
"Mmm maybe" Addison agreed
"All right well we should get you completely checked out by a Obstetrician make sure everything is Ok then we will fly out to Seattle and get Derek to sign the papers"
"I'm an Obstetrician I can run the tests"
"Addie you can't treat yourself. You will have to see someone else"
"Ok Ok your right I will organise that for a few days time, then we can go and get this divorce sorted out"
"Then the three of us can start our lives"
"Mark I think we will need to buy a house, we can't raise a baby in your bachelor pad, it's not big enough"
Mark just smiled. Was it really happening, were they really going to get their happily ever after??
A/N: Yah a Maddison baby!!! Did Mark take it too well? Please review and let me know what you think? I really like feedback it helps me to keep writing.
