A/N: Thank you so much for your lovely reviews. I couldn't wait to write and post the second part of their conversation. So here is the next chapter. I hope it will answer some of your questions and the rest will be answered very soon.

Disclaimer: Still not mine


"That sounds like a good plan. I have one suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"Don't use a sperm donor."

"How am I supposed to have a child without a sperm?"

"Have a child with me."

Addison wasn't sure if she had heard him right. Derek guessed her doubt and nodded affirmatively to assure her that he meant what he said.

"How much scotch did you have?" Addison asked thinking that was the only logical explanation.

"Addison I am not drunk. I know what I am talking about. I want you to have a child with me." Derek replied confidently intensely holding her gaze to let her know how serious he was.

Addison was blindsided and those intense blue eyes were making her uncomfortable. She took some time to formulate her words. "Derek I know my potential pregnancy has freaked you out. But you can't impulsively say something big like that just because you are jealous. Tomorrow morning you are going to regret this idea. So let us just pretend that you never said anything and close this topic."

"Addison this isn't impulsive. I have thoroughly thought about …" Derek tried to explain but Addison cut him off.

"No Derek. There is no room for discussion. You should leave now."

"Addison I am not leaving without finishing what I have to say. Just hear me out before you make any decision and then I will accept whatever you decide."

"Derek, please don't do this to me. You don't want a child with me, rather you don't want a child at all. You are just having a hard time letting me move on. Derek you have already made me suffer enough by not letting me go the first time I came here. Please don't make me go through that again." Addison almost begged. She was very firm on her decision and was sure that Derek would soon change his mind once he realizes the gravity of his suggestion, but she couldn't risk falling for his tender words.

"No Addison you are getting it wrong. I won't deny that I am jealous but that is not the only reason why I am suggesting this. I do want to have children. Ever since we talked about Aiden and Eva, I have been thinking about being a father and having kids every day. Before that I was under a spell of my ambition and I didn't know what I really wanted. Addison I want to have a baby as much as you do. I am ready to be a father."

"I am glad you are but that doesn't mean we should have a child together. Derek we are not together anymore. From now on we are going to have separate paths. I am sure you will soon find a right woman with whom you can have your own family. Unfortunately she isn't me."

"Addison I don't want to wait for the next right woman. I am not getting any younger. I am approaching my forties and I don't see myself getting into any serious relationship anytime soon. I am little orthodox so I am not comfortable with the idea of surrogacy. Also I am not strong enough like you to raise a kid on my own. So at this moment you are my only chance of having a baby. Addison we both want the same thing and we can help each other to have it." Derek listed all the reasons he could think of to convince Addison.

"Derek, why don't you understand? We are getting divorced. Why do you want to add a child in this mess?" Addison asked wearily.

"Addison I am not adding any child. You have already planned to have one, I just want it to be mine. We would be a divorced couple who have a child together. Just like million other couples who have kids but get divorced and co-parent their children. Our case will be slightly different but we can do that. We failed as a couple but we are a good team. Even after our separation we have managed to be pretty good friends. In spite of what happened between us I still think that you are a good person and you would be a wonderful mother. I want to have a child and I want you to be the mother of my child."

"Derek it is not as simple as you make it sound. It's a bad idea." Addison tried to be firm but her tone wasn't convincing enough. A rational part of her brain was telling her that it was the craziest idea but she was starting to get tempted.

Derek continued persuading her "Addison what do you have to lose? You are anyways having a child using some anonymous donor's sperm. Sorry to say this but your child is not going to have a perfect family anyway. He would never know who his father is. He would never get a chance to go camping or play football with his father. I have no doubt that you will be an amazing mother but a kid needs both the parents. Addie I am saying it from my personal experience. My mom has been a great mother but I still wonder what life would have been if dad were alive. Ever since I was twelve I have missed him on every occasion. Addie you can never completely understand this feeling, because though perfectly dysfunctional you still have both the parents. It sucks not to have one. If you don't believe me, talk to Sam. We both have always been jealous of you, Naomi and Mark for having a father which we didn't. At least I have some fond memories of my father but Sam didn't even have those. He doesn't know who his father is and thought he never shows it, it does bothers him not to know where he came from."

Tears started pouring down Addison's cheeks. When she decided to go for IVF she perfectly knew what she was getting into. It was painful to accept that her child will be a product of medical procedure not love, the child will grow without a father, they would never know anything about him except few details listed on the donors form. Sometimes she wondered if she was being selfish in bring a child in the world just for her own happiness. She was also scared that she won't be a good mother and might end up like Bizzy. But despite all her worries she had decided to take her chance. But now hearing Derek say all those things made her skeptical again.

Derek wiped away her tears smoothly and held each of her hands in his own. He looked directly into her eyes and said. "Addison you don't need to be a single parent. Your child could have a father. We could still have a family which we wanted to have. It may not exactly in the same condition in which we imagined 10 years back but still we could have one. Just consider my proposal."

"I will think about it." She whispered.


A/N: So what do you think?

In next chapters: It is going to be a long day for Addison and Derek. They are going to have a surprise visitor who is going to confront them both and knock some sense into them. We will also know why Derek is willing to have a baby with Addison but still isn't planning to patch-up and cancel the divorce. And sorry guys but we will have to wait for two more chapters to find out Addie's decision. Addison will also have to reveal a secret before she conveys her decision.

Don't forget to review :)
