A/N: Changed bits of this again at the last minute! I contemplated this time jump a lot but in a way I'm happy with it, I love writing in this 'universe' and I'm seriously considering the odd oneshot, having this time jump will allow me to fill in certain gaps in the future, not promising anything but it's definitely on my list of ideas! Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed this fic, it really means a lot to me, I write for my own personal satisfaction but it always makes me so much happier when I know there are people out there reading and enjoying my fics!
This final chapter is for my Addisam gang on twitter! I shouldn't have to name you for you to know you belong there haha :P Lots of love, Kelly xx
10 years later.
"Carson Bennett get your ass out of bed!" Addison yelled up the stairs for the 3rd time that morning, well, mid-morning.
"God Mom I'm coming!" he groaned, she heard his feet hit the floor and stomp around his room.
"That boy" Addison grumbled as she walked into the kitchen where Sam was making her a coffee.
"Honey he's 16, getting up before noon isn't in his programming" he chuckled lightly.
"He's just a lazy boy Mom" 9 year old Jessica giggled.
"Yes he is sweetheart" Addison laughed softly "I just don't want to be late for Mason's birthday, and you need to go and put on your dress"
"Ok" Jessica smiled, skipping off to her room.
"She's getting too big" Sam sighed "I don't want her to grow up, I want her to be 2 years old again"
"She's going to be your little girl no matter what Sam, look at Maya" Addison said with a soft laugh "Don't you remember the day we signed the adoption papers? She clung onto you so hard, she was a Daddy's girl from day one"
"I know, I remember" he smiled softly.
"Hey" Carson grumbled as he walked into the kitchen sleepily, going to the refrigerator and taking out the carton of milk juice, he screwed off the top and gulped some back.
"I really wish you wouldn't drink out of the carton" Addison sighed.
"Relax Mom, we have the same genes, I used to live in you" he smirked as he put the carton away "So when's this kids party thing?"
"We're leaving at 12 so clean up, Mason needs his role model to look like one"
"Yes Mom" Carson laughed "Dad will you tell her to trust me, you know I'm not turning into an alien because I'm 16 now right?"
"Oh sshh you, both of you" Addison said, swatting them both on their arms as they laughed.
"Love you Mom" Carson smiled, dropping a kiss on the top of her head before running up to his room.
"See, he still loves you" Sam teased, nudging her lightly, Addison hit his arm again and pouted as he kissed her cheek gently.
~x~
"Carson!" Mason Robbins-Torres yelled as he ran straight towards Carson "I'm 8 today!"
"You sure are dude" Carson said, giving him a high-five "Happy Birthday"
"Hi sweetheart" Addison smiled, reaching out to run her fingers through Mason's hair "Happy Birthday"
"Thanks Aunt Addie" Mason smiled.
"Happy birthday Mason!" Jessica beamed, giving him a hug he was reluctant to receive, Addison laughed and shook her head a little.
"We've got your present right here buddy but I'm gonna give it to your Mom so you can open it later ok?" Sam smiled.
"Thanks Uncle Sam" Mason beamed "I've gotta go be the host with the most whatever that means" he shrugged before running off, Jessica chasing after him.
"I'm gonna go, find people…" Carson said before heading through to the living room, Addison and Sam went into the kitchen of the Robbins-Torres house where their friends were all chatting away.
"Hey" Callie smiled giving them both a hug "Thanks for coming"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world" Addison smiled "Are you stressing?"
"Always" Callie laughed "At least Mason's a little easier to please than his sisters"
"He's having the time of his life Cal" Addison smiled softly "What can I do to help?"
"You can make conversation, Sam can help with the food" Callie laughed, Addison grumbled as they both laughed at her.
~x~
"Hey Sofia your Mom….what the hell?" Mark yelled as he found Carson and Sofia making out on her bed, he grabbed Carson by the back of his shirt and pulled him off.
"Dad!" Sofia shouted "Dad don't hurt him!"
"Hurt him? I wanna kill him!"
"Uncle Mark, please" Carson said shakily, looking at him with fearful eyes "We were just kissing I swear, we haven't, we haven't done anything else and we won't, I swear we won't…"
"Sure as hell you won't! Get your ass downstairs right now!" he snapped "And you young lady!"
Carson hung his head low, walked out of Sofia's room and down the stairs.
"What's going on? We heard yelling" Callie said quietly.
"Get Arizona, Sam and Addison in the kitchen, now" Mark said firmly, a few moments later and they were all in the kitchen.
"What's going on?" Addison asked curiously.
"What's going on is I just caught your son on top of my daughter!" Mark growled "Luckily his hand was over her shirt because I swear to god if it was under I would have chopped it off!"
"Carson!" Addison exclaimed "What the hell are you thinking?"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Callie frowned "Is Sofia not good enough for him?"
"You know I wasn't saying that" Addison sighed "I love Sofia, I love you sweetheart, but this isn't a good idea, you were practically…"
"Raised together, we know Mom" Carson sighed heavily "Believe me we have talked and talked about this, about all the excuses you guys would come up with to keep us apart but, we really, really want to make this work, we wouldn't do this if we didn't think we could make this work because of the fact that we grew up together, I've loved Sofia like family since I was born and I will always love her, now I just, love her like my girlfriend"
"Aw" Arizona gushed "Carson honey as long as you treat her right I don't care"
"Arizona!" Mark exclaimed.
"What exactly is your problem Mark?" Sam sighed "Sure they went the completely wrong way about this and should have told us instead of letting us find out like this but, what's the big deal?"
"Teenage pregnancy runs in your family" he snapped.
"That's uncalled for" Sam snapped back "Don't you bring Maya into this, and don't make out like this is all on Carson, he's your family too, we have always said we are all a family so you need to grow up, I know it's, hard to find your baby girl with a guy, trust me I know, but you, and all of us, need to trust that they will know what are the right decisions and the really wrong ones, can we trust you to do that?" he said, turning to Carson and Sofia.
"I swear Dad" Carson breathed out.
"We promise Uncle Sam" Sofia smiled "Dad, you can trust us, you can trust me, come on please don't be mad, we won't ever make out in the house again"
"Come on Mark, give them a break" Callie sighed "We've got a party to get on with"
"I swear to god if you hurt her, family or not I will make you pay"
"I won't do that Uncle Mark, I promise!"
"Hey guys everyone's getting a little impatient out there" Zola said as she walked into the room "Oh, crap" she stuttered "I told you guys not to make out in the house!" she exclaimed.
"Of course you knew about this" Callie laughed.
"And she's been a complete Mom about it" Sofia laughed quietly.
"I gave them the safe sex lecture and everything" Zola smirked.
"Zola!" Sofia and Carson exclaimed.
"Not that they're doing that of course" Zola said quickly "They're not, I promise you, and I'd know, they'd tell me"
"Mom when are you bringing out the cake?" Mason said impatiently as he walked into the room.
"Right now sweetheart" Callie smiled "Come on everyone, let's go and sing Happy Birthday, ok? Mark?"
"Yeah, fine, ok" he sighed "But again, I'm warning you Carson…"
"I promise, I won't hurt her" Carson said firmly, as Mark left the room everyone else took that as their cue to follow.
~x~
"So, are you really mad at me?" Carson asked as he sat with Addison watching TV that evening "For being with Sofia"
"I'm not mad just, a little shocked"
"You can't be that shocked Mom, we know you used to joke about us" he laughed.
"Well that's different, you were just little kids then, you're still young now"
"Plenty of my friends have girlfriends, we're 16, and I really, really love her Mom, I'm not saying we know we're going to be together forever or anything sappy like that, but we're good now, and we're not rushing into anything, I swear"
"You are so much like your father" Addison said softly, reaching out and stroking his cheek "Make sure you stay that way"
"I'll try Mom" he said quietly.
"So how long have you guys been hiding this from us? I wanna know how good you are at keeping secrets from me" she laughed.
"6 months" Carson smirked "But I haven't exactly lied I just, didn't tell you, when I said I was hanging out with Zola and Sofia I was, sometimes Zo just, left early, please don't tell Uncle Mark any of that, he already has enough reasons to hate me"
"Oh honey he doesn't hate you" Addison said with a soft laugh "He's just playing the protective Dad card, he'll calm down and you'll be at the batting cages with him again next weekend"
"I don't know if being around him and a bat is a great idea" Carson laughed "But I guess you're right"
"Honey I'm always right" Addison smirked, Carson rolled his eyes and she laughed, reaching over to kiss his temple before he had a chance to shrug her off.
~x~
"Can you believe Carson and Sofia?" Addison sighed heavily as she climbed into bed next to Sam "I hope they don't regret this"
"They won't" Sam said softly "They're not stupid, they wouldn't risk all of our history if they didn't really want to make this work, I know they're only 16 but they're smart, they won't, be like Maya and Phil"
"Mark didn't mean to bring them up y'know" she said softly "He was just being Mark and clutching at straws, he forgets what he was like as a teenager, and the fact that he has his own grandson out there somewhere"
"I know, I get it" Sam said quietly "We were both too good as teenagers" he smirked as he wrapped his arms around her "It was adulthood where we messed up a little"
"Well we've had a good run since then" she laughed.
"We have" he smiled, kissing her gently.
"Do you still love me now I'm old?" Addison asked quietly "I'm still attractive right?"
"You are the most attractive woman I know" Sam smiled, squeezing her ass to make her laugh "And you're not old, we are not old, we still have a lot of years in us yet babe"
"You always know what to say" she laughed "You always have"
"Cuz I'm perfect for you right?" he teased.
"Absolutely" she smiled, she let out a content sigh and cuddled into his warm body "I love you Sam"
"I love you too baby" he murmured against her hair.
"Daddy?" they heard Jessica sniffle as the door creaked open "Dad?"
"Yeah baby girl, what is it?" he asked quietly "You should be asleep"
"I had a bad dream again"
"Come here sweetheart" Addison said, pulling back the covers so she could climb in, she got in between her parents and cuddled up to Sam, Addison shuffled closer and wrapped her arm over Jessica so she held onto Sam's waist gently, she kissed her daughters soft hair and they sat quietly for a minute, before they knew it they were all fast asleep.
The End.
