And I think about summer, all the beautiful times

Addison turned to face Pete as they got as far as Pete and Jessica were allowed in the airport to say goodbye.

He gave a small sigh as he looked down at her but smiled. "I'll see you in a month?"

"I'll see you in a month." Addison nodded.

"Take care. And give me a call when you're there."

"I will. You take care too."

Pete nodded before he leaned down and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Bye, Jess." Addison smiled softly at the teenager.

"Bye." Jessica smiled back and wasn't sure whether to give her a hug or not.

"Say bye then, Alba." Addison looked at her daughter. Pete bent down and wrapped his arms around the little girl.

"Don't want to go, dada," Alba whispered.

"I know you don't, baby." He placed a few kisses on her hair. "But Jess and I will come and visit you soon."

"Noo." She shook her head.

"I promise," he whispered. "And I'll call you tonight, okay?" Alba nodded and snuggled closer to Pete. He dropped another kiss on her head and hugged her close. "I love you, baby."

"Wove you too, dada."

Pete smiled softly before he slowly loosened his arms around her.

"Bye, Alba." Jessica bent down to hug her sister.

"Bye, Jess." Alba buried her face into her neck.

"I'll see you soon."

Alba nodded before she slowly let go of her, a pout on her lips. Jessica kissed Alba's cheek and smiled softly. "Wove you, Jess." Alba looked at her innocently.

"Love you too, Alba." Jessica smiled softly and watched as her sister turned and walked to Addison. Addison held her hand out for Alba before they began to walk further into the airport. Pete and Jessica just stood and watched them.

"Will it always be like this, dad?" Jessica asked.

"What do you mean, Pumpkin?" He looked down at her.

"Will we always be saying goodbye to them?"

"Right now it's the best we can do."

Jessica sighed and looked into the crowd of people again.

"I wish we'd live closer, too, or one of us could move, but it's not that easy."

"Yeah." She nodded.

Pete gave a small sigh and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Let's go home." They turned and slowly made their way from the airport. "How about we get some ice cream on our way back to cheer you up?" he tried. Jessica just shrugged as they walked to the car. Pete sighed again and got into the driver's seat before they drove from the airport.

Addison unlocked the door to their apartment and carried their suitcase inside before giving an exhausted sigh. Alba was following her quietly with her favourite teddy tucked under her arm, a tired look on her face.

"Do you want a cuddle, Petal?" Addison softly asked her daughter as she shut the door behind them. Alba just nodded her head and reached up for her mum. Addison bent down and picked Alba up and set her on her hip. She placed a gentle kiss on the top of Alba's head as she snuggled in. Alba kept a tight hold on her teddy and closed her eyes as she buried her face into Addison's neck.

"They'll be here next month," Addison whispered, soothingly, as she ran a hand over her daughter's back.

"I don't want to go," Alba murmured and grasped Addison's shirt.

"You don't want to go where, Petal?" Addison asked and nuzzled her nose into Alba's hair.

"Home," she spoke quietly.

"We are home, though." Addison walked into the living room and sat down on the couch with Alba on her lap.

"But," Alba began, "but I wanted to stay."

"I know, Petal, I know," she sighed and kissed her daughter's forehead. "We had to come home, though. This is where we live. Daddy and Jessica live in LA."

"Why we no live there too?" The little girl looked up at her.

"Because we live here."

Alba sighed and rested her head back against Addison's chest, too tired to argue.

"Maybe one day," Addison whispered quietly so Alba couldn't hear.

"Mummy?" the little girl asked after a few minutes of silence.

"Yes, baby?" Addison looked down at her daughter.

"I miss dada," she whispered quietly, her eyes closed.

"I know, baby, I miss him too."

Alba sighed again and snuggled closer into Addison, nearly dozing off. Addison gave a quiet sigh and rested her chin on the top of her daughter's head. It wasn't long before she could feel Alba's even breathes against her chest and her body relax in her arms. Slowly, Addison stood up from the couch and made sure not to wake Alba before she carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom.

Pete threw his keys on the side as he walked into his house after they had gotten back from the airport. Jessica made her way up to her room and put some music on while Pete wandered into the living room. He picked up the phone from the table next to the couch and dialled a number before he walked over to the patio door to get some fresh air.

"Hello." Sam's voice floated down the line to Pete's ear.

"Hey, man." Pete leaned against the doorframe. "Got a minute?"

"Sure, what's up?" Sam put his medical journal down and leaned back in his chair.

"We just saw Addison and Alba off at the airport," he explained.

"And you're wishing you hadn't?" Sam questioned.

"It's just...hard, you know? Saying goodbye all the time. I don't know how this is supposed to work long term."

Sam nodded and pondered for a moment. "Have you discussed one of you moving?"

"There's no way I can move to New York right now. I can't ask Jess to do that."

"Have you spoken to Jess about moving, though?"

"No." He shook his head. "I don't want her to lose all her friends, change schools. I don't want her to go through that. She loves it here."

"You should at least talk to her about it, though. She might feel differently."

"She might even agree, but I don't want that for her."

Sam sighed. "What about if Addison moves to LA?"

"She's never said anything about wanting to move."

"You should talk to her about that option. It would mean less travelling and you'd get to see Alba much more."

"If she wanted to move she would have said something, don't you think?"

"That's true, but you should still talk to her about it. You might be able to come up with another solution."

Pete gave a small sigh and turned around to make sure Jessica was still upstairs before he spoke again. "I kissed her."

"You kissed Addison?" Sam sat up straighter. "When?"

"Last week."

"And you waited until now to tell me?"

"It only happened once."

"And that's it? You just kissed once and nothing else is going to happen?"

"I don't know. We talked about it and...it's just too complicated right now for her. We don't even live in the same state."

Sam nodded slightly. "What about when it's not complicated for her?"

"I don't know," Pete sighed.

"You need to talk to her properly."

"I don't want to pressure her. We have to think of Jess and Alba."

"Talking isn't pressuring her."

"She said it wasn't just a kiss."

"Then talk to her. Find out exactly what she wants and find a way round it."

"Things would have gone so differently if I hadn't just left back then." Pete sighed again. "I should have talked to her. Told her about Jess. Everything, you know."

"Why didn't you? If Addison means so much to you, you should have told her and stayed."

"It was a fling, Sam. I thought that's all it was."

"Was it just a fling, though?"

"It was complicated. It was supposed to be just a fling. I had no idea how she felt about me. I had Jess to think about. I had to go back home."

"Just because you had Jess doesn't mean you wouldn't have made it work."

"We both knew that it was only going to be for two weeks," he sighed. "I thought that's what she wanted. I don't know."

"Talk to her, Pete. Tell her how you feel."

"Yeah." He nodded slightly.

"Good."

"Jessica is probably going to stay at Lindsey's tonight. Are you up for a few drinks?"

"Sure. Sounds good. Normal place?"

"Yeah, I'll meet you there at eight."

"I'll see you there, man."

"I'll see you." Pete nodded before both men hung up.
