Chapter 25: Family Portrait
Adrianna knelt over the toilet for the third time that morning. Sighing she wiped off her mouth and stood up with the help of the sink. She looked at her appearance in the mirror. She shook her head when she saw the red blotchiness in her cheeks, and her watery eyes. Without a second look, she left the bathroom and walked down stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs she stopped and heard voices.
"Daddy will Adrianna like this?" She heard Anna say.
"I think she will love this." Landon said.
Deciding to find out what they were planning, Adrianna entered the kitchen. She walked in and saw the table full of breakfast food. She looked up into her husband's shining blue eyes.
"Wow you made this all for me?" She asked.
"Yes! Daddy said he didn't know what you would want to eat, cuz the baby makes you eat weird things." Anna said excitedly.
Adrianna could feel her eyes start to water.
Landon smiled and walked towards Adrianna. He grabbed her hand without saying anything and led her to the table.
Adrianna looked at where she was sat. Where the plate should have been was a piece of paper. Reading over the piece of paper, Adrianna couldn't believe what she was reading. "Landon is this what I think it is?" She asked surprised.
"Yeah, we talked about it in Nebraska and when we came home I went to my attorney and got the papers drawn up."
Looking back down at the papers, Adrianna couldn't contain her tears anymore. "You are so wonderful." She said getting up to hugging her husband.
After feeling tugging at her shirt, Adrianna looked down and found Anna.
"How come you are crying?" Anna asked.
Adrianna smiled and knelt down. "Your daddy gave me the best present ever. Do you want to know what it is?" After seeing Anna nod, Adrianna continued. "He is letting me officially be your mommy. I know I have been your mommy for a while now, but once I sign these papers I will forever be your mommy."
Anna's smile and eyes widened. "I would like that very much. I love you so much Adrianna and I want you to forever be my mommy." She said jumping into Adrianna's arms.
-.-
A few months later, Adrianna was being rushed to Seattle Grace Hospital.
"Landon Matthew Sloan! How could you do this to me?!" She screamed as she was being pushed on a gurney through the halls.
Addison pushed her into the delivery room. "Landon are you coming in or not?" She asked.
Landon smiled, "I am going in!" He said before suiting up and joining his wife in the delivery room.
After a couple hours of pushing, Addison looked up happily at the couple. "Congratulations, it's a boy!"
Landon kissed his wife. "Did you hear that?! We have a boy."
After he was cleaned up, the little bundle of joy was given to his parents.
Landon walked into Arianna's hospital room after calling everyone he knew to spread the good news about his son. He saw his wife cradling their son in her arms. He grabbed the camera from the shelf in the room and took a quick picture. It caused Adrianna to look up.
"I look like crap, why are you taking pictures?" She said.
Landon shrugged, "I couldn't resist. I called people to let them know we have a new addition to our family. Everyone has wanted to know his name. And they were disappointed when I told them we haven't named him yet."
Adrianna smiled, "I was thinking while you were on the phone. And I think I have an idea. What about, Ian Matthew. Ian because I like that name, and Matthew because it's your middle name and I think it's a great name for him."
Landon gently took his son from Adrianna's arms. "That is perfect. Isn't it Ian?" He said to the sleeping bundle.
Landon gave him back Adrianna when they heard the door open. They saw that it was their family; Christina, Owen, Meredith, Mark, and of course Anna.
Anna crawled on the bed with Adrianna.
"Who's this?" She asked pointing to the baby in Adrianna's arms.
Adrianna smiled, "This is your new little brother." She said moving the blanket so Anna could see his face.
Landon sat on the bed by Anna, "His name is Ian, and you need to treat him nice. Because he is your little brother."
Anna looked at him in awe. "Ian, my little brother."
Landon looked up at the grandparents. "This is Ian Matthew, the new addition to our family." He said before posing for their first family picture with all four of them, taken by Mark. Landon knew he was a lucky man to have a family this great. No matter what they have been through, he knew they would last.
So let me know your thoughts of the chapter... or the story as a whole!
I do have other stories I am writing, plus another couple in my head.
