A month had passed since Addison and Derek had been back in Seattle and everything was going great for them. In a few weeks time they were going to be moving out to L.A. They had sorted everything out with the realtor for their new home and they were looking forward to their fresh start.
It had been almost a week since Addison's period was due and she had decided that today was the day she should take a test, she didn't want to get her hopes up, but she was hoping that the test would be positive. Everything was great with their relationship and they were so happy and about to move into a lovely new home and start new jobs.
"Derek, wake up." Addison says as she wakes him up with a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Mmm, good morning beautiful." Derek replies as he kisses her lips softly.
"Good morning, so I don't want you to get your hopes up too much but my period is almost a week late and I think I should take a pregnancy test."
"Wow ok. Do you need me to go and get some or do you already have one?" Derek asks her as he sits up in the bed.
"It's ok I got some already so I'll go to the bathroom and take it and then I'll come back in here and we can sit and wait for the results. I suppose I can have my bloods taken at the hospital too if it's not clear just to make sure. But let's just see what these tests say first."
"Ok whatever happens I love you so much Addison. You mean the world to me."
"I love you too, Derek. I'd love it if we could have a baby together as I know you're going to be an amazing father. But no matter how it happens I know we'll have our family one day."
"Thanks Addie. You'll be an amazing mother. You're amazing with babies and children. Now go and take the test and let's find out if we're going to be parents."
Addison goes to the bathroom and a little while later she comes back and places a few tests down on the table.
"Ok so in a few minutes we should be able to see if they're positive or negative."
"I can't wait to spend the rest of my life by your side and if that's with children, either biological or adopted or even without children. All that matters to me is that I get to spend the rest of my life making you happy every single day."
"Oh Derek, I love you so much. In these last few months I've been so happy, happier than I've been in a long time. Since the start of our relationship and marriage. I know we went through a bad patch and the hardest of times but we're getting through it and we're about to have our fresh start and new life in L.A. A baby would really be the cherry on the top of it all but whatever happens as long as I've got you I'm happy."
"So shall we look now and see if we're going to be parents?" Derek asks.
"Ok let's grab one together in three.. two.. one." Addison counts down as they both take one of the pregnancy tests from the table and see the result.
Derek beams at her and Addison cries out with joy as they see the positive result on the tests.
"Oh Addie this is the best news I've ever received." Derek tells her as he pulls her into a hug.
"Me too, Derek. I'm so happy. I'll arrange an appointment to get checked out here in Seattle before we leave and then I think I'll ask Naomi if she can be my OB for when we move to L.A."
"Wow this is amazing. I guess you're only a few weeks pregnant right now but I can't wait to share this experience with you."
"Me too. I've had so many patients over the years but now I actually get to feel what it's like to be pregnant and have a baby growing inside of me."
"You're going to be amazing, Addie. I know we don't need to tell everyone yet but all of our families and everyone are going to get a big surprise. I guess we can give them the news when we tell them about renewing our vows."
"Yeah I just hope your mom doesn't think that's the only reason you're staying with me."
"Addie, I'll have a word with my mom, that is long overdue I know, and I'll tell her everything and let her know that if she doesn't accept you then that's her loss, but I'll choose you and our child every single time."
"Thanks Derek, it really hurt me a lot over the years but this is our fresh start and I'm not going to let anyone or anything ruin it. Let's just concentrate on our big move and now we also have a nursery to plan and decorate in our new home. Then once the move is over we can finalise our plans for the summer and our vow renewal."
"You're right Addison, let's just concentrate on all our wonderful plans. I'm not going to let anyone ruin our happiness."
Derek and Addison spend the rest of the morning having a nice breakfast together and getting ready and then they head into work for their shifts.
