Chapter 4:
The next morning they were sitting at the small table of the trailer, eating breakfast silently. Derek was reading the paper while Addison was just playing with the food in her plate.
"Something wrong Addison?" Derek asked her as he saw that she wasn't eating. "Why aren't you eating your breakfast?"
"I'm just not really hungry Derek; I swear I'll eat when I am." She replied.
"What's bothering you Addie, I know there's something wrong."
"It's okay there, I am fine." She told him, not wanting to bring up her affair with Mark. "Just let it go, seriously."
"You know I won't just let it go, seriously tell me what's wrong, is it about last night?" He asked her worried.
"No." She replied simply. She was too scared of his reaction to tell him about Mark, and she loved the way he cared about her too much to let it go. But she couldn't help but feel selfish at the moment…
"Then what is it Addison? Is it about the baby?" He asked her, getting worried again.
"No, it's not."
"Okay well then…"
"I stayed with Mark after you left, and now I feel really bad about doing that since you were so honest with me last night. Happy?" She blurted out, feeling a little relieved that she had told him, but she was pretty nervous about his reaction.
"What? I eh…I don't get it." He told her shocked, he just couldn't believe she had done that.
"I stayed with him, I couldn't stand what I had done to you so I decided that if I made it as if we were in love to everybody they'd understand and that it would be less awful. I'm sorry for that, I swear I am." She admitted, letting a few tears fall down her face. She had finally told him.
"I…woah, it's a lot to take in right now." He told her simply confused. He could understand her reasoning in a way, but he couldn't bring himself to believe that his wife had stayed with Mark; she had told him lies since she moved to Seattle.
"Maybe I should just move back to the hotel for a while, to give you time to think." She offered.
"No of course not Addison, I want to be with you and our baby." He assured her. "You just have to understand that it's a lot to take in."
"I do understand, but maybe it would be good to spend sometime apart."
"I don't think so, maybe spending time together will only make us stronger. Look just let me a day to calm down and to take in what you told me."
"Yeah, okay."
"I'm going to the hospital now." He got up and kissed her forehead, rubbing her tummy a little. "We'll see each other tonight okay?"
"Sure."
"I just need some time…"
"I know."

That same night, Derek came home after work to find Addison reading a magazine in bed. He started to get ready for the night and then sat on the bed on his spot.
"Hey." He said, talking for the first time since he had gotten home.
"Hey Derek." She replied shortly.
"So…are you awake enough to talk?"
"Yeah, sure I guess…you're ready to talk?" She asked. He seemed calm and caring, but she wasn't that sure he really was.
"Yeah…I mean, I do understand your point on staying with Mark but I wish you just hadn't…but I know it will never change so like…I guess I have to live with it and forgive you. You were so understanding with me yesterday that I can be mad at you Addie. And from now on, I just want us to be happy together, I'm not saying we have to forget about everything in the past but I'm saying we could just move on with life and enjoy being together, and enjoy your pregnancy together. What do you think?" He had actually thought about that speech all day, and he hoped she'd understand it all.
"So you're saying that we don't need to forget about everything that happened?" She asked curious about that.
"I believe that everything that happened to us will make us stronger and prove us that we can go through some hard times and still be in love and happy. That's what will make us stronger."
"You're probably right…"
"I am right Addison. I want us to be like we were in our 20s."
"And you're not only saying that because I'm pregnant…?" She feared that right now, that he would do anything for her while she'd be pregnant and then leave her.
"No! It's you and me right now. I love you Addison."
"I love you too Derek." She replied smiling and moving a little so she could kiss him.
Things would get better.
