Disclaimer:- Anyone you recognise I don't own. All those you don't, started as a figment in my imagination and I decided to make them real.

A.N:- Thanks for all the reviews so far. I am a big Addek fan and thought that there should be more Addkeness here in fanfiction land.

A.N 2 – So sorry ths has taken so long to get to. My muse disappears for ages at a time and I just hate it. I know how I want to continue with this but it's just finding the time to do it.

At 9am, promptly the following morning the doorbell rung indicating that Adele had arrived at Addison's home. What Adele wasn't expecting was to find an extremely dishevelled looking Addison Forbes Montgomery. In all the time that Adele had known Addison she had never once seen her any less than perfect. But that morning she was greeted by a make-up less, messy haired, sweat pant wearing Addison. "Morning Adele." Addison greeted her warmly, stepping back to let her into the house.

"Addison, it's unusual to see you this way." Adele commented waving her hand at Addison.

"Yeah, a little baby and not a lot of sleep will do that to you." Addison replied heading towards the kitchen to grab two cups of coffee. It was the only thing keeping her going at that moment.

"So where is the precious bundle?" Adele asked, accepting the steaming mug from Addison. She had glanced around the house quickly when she had entered.

"Derek took her out for a walk." Addison told her as she walked towards the living room. "She was up for a while during the night so he thought maybe some fresh air would help and knock her out for a bit. His words"" Addison reclined in the sofa, her head leaning on the cushion behind her. In just a few short seconds she had fallen asleep. Adele took the mug from her hand and walked to the kitchen.

As she headed back the front door opened and Derek walked in pushing the stroller. "Hey Adele." He said in an exaggerated whisper. The child obviously asleep.

"Derek, so this is the precious bundle my husband couldn't stop talking about last night?" Adele smirked at him.

"Yeah, isn't she adorable?" He retorted, Adele only nodding. "Where's Addison?" Adele pointed to the living room where Derek looked to see her sound asleep on the sofa. "She was up most of the night, I am just glad she is getting to sleep now."

"So just how did you come across this little princess?" Adele asked only knowing the bare minimum

"Bit of a strange one actually. She was left on Addison's doorstep two nights ago. A young girl Addison treated last week. In fact she delivered Zoey."

"Zoey?" Adele questioned.

"This is Zoey Addison Shepard Mills. I'm surprised Richard didn't tell you we got to name her."

"But why Mills at the end?"

"In case her mother does come back for her, social services thought tit be better if we gave the baby her mother's surname until we know for definite what is going to happen." Derek said taking a deep breath. "There is a possibility that we won't get to keep her."

"But we're trying not to think of that right now." The sleepy voice came from the doorway. Derek turned to see a sleep mussed Addison standing there. She looked ready to cry and he knew why. He couldn't take it either if they had to give Zoey up. Walking over to her, he took her inot his arms.

Adele stood and watched the couple, amazed at how far they had come in their lives. Married for such a long time and then two bouts of infidelity, divorce and now to see them back together she couldn't have been happier. Zoey took that moment to wake and decide she wanted some attention.

"Well hello there baby." Adele cooed into the stroller. Unsnapping the straps she lifted the child into her arms. Zoey looked at the new person in her little life and squirmed. She didn't recognise this person and wasn't sure what to do. So she did what she knew was best and began to cry. But Adele knew what to do, rocking from side to side Zoey soon calmed down and snuggled into Adele's embrace.

"Looks like we won't have problems with our child care after all then." Addison managed to say, smiling at the picture in from of her.
