A/N: For the sake of this story we are pretending that Pete and Dell are still alive. And I think that is all... Thank you all so much for the reviews and follows and favorites! I am so happy! :)
"She what?" Addison asked, making sure she heard her friend correctly.
"She cheated on me. And I am exhausted." Callie said still crying.
"Then why did you bring her with you? You worked your ass off getting her here. Do you want to sleep for a little while? You are welcome to sleep on the couch."
"I brought her because I want us to fix things and she was determined to come. I don't know what to do Addie. So that's why I came here and I forgot to call you and tell you I was coming. I hope it's okay we are here." Callie sat down.
"Of course you can stay! If you don't remember my marriage fell apart after I cheated so I don't know why you are coming to me." Addison admitted. She sat down next to Callie.
"You are the only one outside of Sloan+Grey Memorial that knows." Callie looked up at Addison.
"Honey, you need sleep. I will take Arizona to Pete and see if he can do something about her sedative and then I can talk to her and then I can talk to you and then both of you can talk. If that sounds best." Addison offered.
"Whatever you think is best. I can hardly form coherent sentences right now. I had to move Arizona like five times I think. I don't even know. It hasn't even been a week. She cheated on me during the huge storm, which was three days ago? And then the same day or night or whatever she got ran over by a drunk and had to have surgery two days ago. I want to yell but I-I-I don't know if I even want to give her a second chance. Earlier I compared my 'sleeping with Mark and getting knocked up when she and I weren't together or even talking' with her cheating and it's not the same, it's not even close to being the same. I did to try to make her feel a little better and before I knew I was controlling my anger because Sofia was around and I didn't want her running in but now I don't even know if I want to give her a second chance. I just fell- I feel like someone has stabbed me in the heart and keeps twisting. I don't think things will ever be the same Addie. And I think I am scared that she will leave me if I snap too much because she still brings up the leg and she still blames me, I know. Even though she knows that it was Karev. I feel that she still thinks it's my fault an-and I just want things to be back to normal. I want her back because somewhere along the lines I let her slip away from me." Callie said laying down on the couch now. Callie looked over at Arizona who was still out. She was supposed to be awake a few minutes ago. Oh, well. Maybe the sleeping pills were kicking in now that she was calmer. Addison just looked at Callie not really knowing what to say. Addison thought for a few minutes.
"Fight for it Callie. Coming from the cheaters point of view please fight for it. All I wanted was to have Derek back and I know he didn't want me but both of you seem to want each other still. The one thing I wanted Derek to do was to try and fight for our marriage back. You have a daughter together. You have to want to fight for it. Being pissed and talking about it is better than pretending nothing happened. If you don't talk about it, it will eat you up alive..." There was a knock on Addison's door. It was Pete.
"Addison, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked opening the door to pop his head in.
"Is it urgent?" Addison asked irritated. "Because if not, I am a little busy." Callie was now hugging a pillow and was trying to stop crying.
"Um, the..." Pete looked down at the paper in his hand. "...Wilsons from yesterday are back and they said that you wanted them to come back to get another ultra sound."
"Umm, can you have someone else do it?" Addison asked. "And I need your help getting her something to counteract her sedative." She pointed at Arizona.
"Okay. I can do that now. What's her name?"
"Pete keep it off the record. Please." Addison asked as Pete walked in and wheeled Arizona told the door. "But, her name is Arizona." Pete nodded and took Arizona out of the room and headed off. "Where was I?" Addison asked. Callie had stopped crying and was now sitting up with her head in her lap.
"Something about getting eaten alive." Callie mumbled.
"Oh, yeah. Um, talk about it. Fight for your marriage. Yell, scream, freaking throw things but don't be nice and act like nothing happened. Derek just shut me out. Don't shut her out Callie. I am telling you. Don't." Addison put her hand on Callie's back.
"She pushed me out a while ago. I tried letting her back in. Addie, I don't know if I want to fight for something that I don't know for sure will be there again. What if we are never back to normal? What if she cheats again? What if i am not enough for her anymore? What if in a year she get bored with me and she cheats and then things will really be screwed up? If we ended it now then Sofia wouldn't remember a time when we were together in a month or so once she got used to it." Callie ranted. She had been waiting to vent and talk to someone since it happened. "What if..."
"Okay stop with the what-ifs." Addison said. "Think about what would happen if you didn't try. You won't know the answers to any of those questions. Chances are they won't happen and if they do then deal with it when the time comes. Talk and yell, i know you feel betrayed and hurt and like you have no strength anymore. I have been there, but Callie, some things are worth fighting for with every last fiber in your being and marriage and children are the two that come to mind and this situation affects both. So fight like hell. And don't lose." Addison was sort of hunched over so she could see Callie's face. "I am going to leave you here for a bit and I am going to be back after you take a nap. So sleep, here is a blanket." Addison said getting up and tossing a blanket to Callie from the storage ottoman thing at the end of the couch.
"You aren't being much of a help." Callie laid down and almost instantly fell asleep. Addison snuck out and went to the kitchen where Violet and Charlotte were. She went to the fridge.
"Who are they?" Charlotte asked. Addison poured herself a glass of her green juice.
"Friends from Seattle." Addison replied taking a drink.
"Oh." Charlotte got up and went back to her office. Addison finished her drink and set it in the sink. She sighed and sat down next to Violet.
"You okay?" Violet asked.
"Yep." Addison smiled. "Just tired." She laid her head on the counter.
"It's only two thirty." Violet said looking up at the clock.
"My best friend's wife cheated on her and came to me for help. My marriage ended because I cheated. So yeah. I am going to take a nap in your office. You can kick me out when a patient shows up." Addison got up and went to take a nap on Violet's couch.
