Part 3 – Life Is Wonderful

September 2006.

"Hey" Sam smiled as Addison approached him at the nurse's station of the surgical ward.

"I need to talk to you" she whispered.

"What's wrong?" he frowned, she let out a sigh and looked around a little before slipping a piece of paper onto the chart he was holding, he looked down at it and glanced his eyes over it "Oh my…" he started.

"Not here" Addison took the paper back and started to walk away, Sam quickly followed after her until they reached an empty room.

"Are you sure?" Sam asked as soon as the door closed behind them "Are you really sure?"

"I took 5 pregnancy tests and ran that blood twice Sam, I'm sure" Addison breathed out "I don't know what happened, we're still so careful and, and I'm old Sam, I just turned 39…"

"And you are still able to have children Addison" Sam said with a quiet laugh "You are not old"

"What do we do?" Addison sighed "Do you, do you want to do this?"

"Do you?"

"I asked first"

"I think, I think it would be, pretty amazing Addie" he said with a small smile, putting his hands on her hips "I know it seems crazy right now and we didn't plan it but, we didn't plan Katie and look how amazing she is, plus Maya has been hinting at wanting a baby brother or sister because her best friend at school has one" he laughed "I really think we should do this Addie"

"Me too" Addison said quietly "I'm, freaked out but, well I always wanted more children and having another one with you, I can't wait"

"We're having a baby" Sam smiled.

"We're having a baby" Addison laughed, hugging him tightly "I love you Sam"

"I love you too" he whispered, kissing her neck gently, he moved a hand down to her stomach and leaned back to look in her eyes "I love both of you, all of you, you, Katie, Maya and, and this baby, our family"

"Naomi won't be happy…"

"Who cares" he shrugged "She doesn't matter anymore"

"Sam"

"All that matters is making sure this baby is as healthy as can be" he kissed her before getting to his knees and lifting her shirt to kiss her stomach.

"Sam" she laughed.

"I love you" he whispered "Both of you"

"I love you too" Addison smiled softly, pulling him to his feet and kissing him passionately.

1 week later.

"Hey honey" Addison smiled as Katie walked into the living room "How was school?"

"I got an A+ on my English test" Katie said proudly.

"Oh Katie that's amazing" Addison said happily "I'm so proud of you, it's just me and you tonight, let's order take out for dinner, whatever you want"

"Thanks Mom" Katie smiled "Is it ok if I take Maya to the movies at the weekend? I've been promising her and Naomi said it's ok"

"That's a great idea, Maya will love spending quality time with her big sister, you're such, you're such a great big sister" she trailed off with a whisper, her eyes glazed a little with tears.

"Ok seriously, what is with you?" Katie asked "That's twice you've looked at me like that lately, what is it? Is someone dying? Are you sick? Is Dad sick?"

"No!" Addison said quickly "No honey, god no, I, I can't tell you yet but I promise it's not bad"

"How long do I have to wait?" Katie frowned.

"A month"

"Mom" Katie groaned.

"We just have to be sure that everything's ok, the first three months are so vital and..."

"Oh my god"

"Shit" Addison whispered.

"No, no no no, you can't be, that's so, that's so gross, oh god, you're old, ew" Katie shuddered "Ew, ew, ew!"

"Hey, I'm not old" Addison frowned "I was young when I had you, and I see plenty of women my age having their first, sure we didn't plan it but, we're happy and I hope you can be happy too"

"Of course I can" Katie sighed "It's just a little, weird, and still gross by the way"

"I get that" Addison said with a slight laugh.

"How long have you known?"

"About a week, your Dad is going to kill me for telling you without him"

"I'm glad you did" Katie smiled "I love Dad but, I'm glad you told me, even if it was an accident, this is something I can tell the baby when they're older"

"Yeah" Addison said softly "Honey, I love you, you know that right?"

"Of course I do Mom" Katie said giving her a hug "I love you too"

"Your Dad's in surgery until late so, how about we make a night of it, a girly movie and all the popcorn we can eat"

"Ok" Katie smiled "God Mom I can't believe your pregnant, this is, it really is good"

"It is? You really think so?"

"Yeah" Katie smiled softly "And I'll really try and help out around the place, and I can babysit right? I'm old enough now, it's not like when I was 7 and I tried to make Dad and Naomi let me look after Maya on my own" she laughed.

"I am so proud of you Katherine" Addison whispered, kissing her forehead.

"I still don't understand why you named me Katherine, you only use my full name when I do something bad or you're feeling mushy like you are now" she laughed.

"Because I love the name and I love you"

"You're so weird" Katie laughed, Addison smirked and rolled her eyes "Can we have pizza?"

"Sure, you order" Addison smiled "I'll run to the store and get some popcorn and candy and all the other crap your Dad would kill me for eating"

"Get ice cream, the good kind"

"Ok" Addison smiled, she kissed Katie's forehead again before slipping on her shoes, grabbing her purse and heading out to the store.

"Addison?" Sam called out quietly as he entered their empty bedroom at 5am the following morning, he put down his bag on the chair in the corner and when he heard the sound of retching he entered their bathroom and got down onto his knees beside her, brushing the hair back from her sweaty face and rubbing her back gently.

"Don't look at me" she croaked "I look like hell"

"You look fi…ine" Sam stuttered as she threw up again "How long has it been this bad?"

"It hasn't" she sniffled, grabbing some tissue to wipe her mouth "I've felt nauseous for weeks but not like this, me and Katie did eat a lot last night, pizza, ice cream, popcorn, chocolate, everything, we were celebrating"

"You told her?"

"Accidentally" she said with a soft laugh "I'm sorry"

"It's fine" he said softly "You think you're done?"

"Hmm" she nodded, she closed the lid of the toilet and flushed it before washing out her mouth and brushing her teeth, she sat on the closed toilet as she was done and Sam reached out to stroke her cheek gently.

"Come and lie down with me, tell me what Katie said" they headed back into their bedroom and climbed under the covers, Addison snuggling up to Sam's body "So? Is she happy?"

"Yeah" she said softly "She's completely freaked out and thinks it's weird and gross but she's happy"

"Well I expected that" Sam laughed "Nobody wants to know that their parents still have sex"

"Very true" Addison laughed "But yeah, she seems good with it, she wants to help out around the apartment and babysit and I think she'll spoil him or her just as much as she spoils Maya"

"We raised a good girl" he said softly "Despite everything we've done that could have screwed her up, we did good, and we'll do good with our little surprise too"

"They were both surprises" Addison laughed as she looked up at him "At least we weren't drunk this time though"

"That is very true" Sam smirked "Now come on, lets get some sleep"

"Yeah" she yawned, she kissed him gently before they fell asleep, Sam spooning her body with his hand on her soon to be baby bump.
