So I had totally meant to have this part of the last chapter, but it was time to leave work and something evil came over me and I decided to leave you all hanging. But the evilness has passed and I totally knew what was coming so here you go.
III – Part 4
Addison sat on a blanket in Central Park. It was a gorgeous early summer day. She watched on as her husband and two sons played. She smiled as Sully and the boys kicked the soccer ball back and forth. Sully would dribble the ball away with the little boys gleefully chasing him. Richie and A.J., which was short for Archer Jonathan, were four and half and three and half. Even though they had different fathers they still looked quite a bit alike although A.J. was almost as tall as Richie even with being a year younger. They both had dark curly hair. Richie had blue piercing eyes like his father's and A.J.'s were hazel just like his dad's; they both had her mouth and nose. Both boys were so easy going and loved being with one and other. They were constantly getting into mischief like any boy, but were still well behaved and for the most part did as they were told. She laughed as Sully stopped and allowed both boys to jump on him to tackle him; he went down easily with both boys sitting on his stomach.
Addison's attention was drawn away from her boys to the beginning stirrings next to her. She smiled down and reached over gently stroking the cheek of her three month old daughter, she was instantly settled back down to sleep. Madeline had inherited her mother's red hair, it was too early to tell what her eye color would be and Sully teased her saying Maddie had also inherited her mother's disposition. Her smiled brightened at that thought. Maddie's personality shone through from the moment she was born, she definitely like to let everyone know she was here and she was going to be a force to be reckoned with. Anyone who thinks babies are not born with their own distinctive personality either never had a child or only has one.
Addison's thoughts drifted back to Richard's phone call earlier that morning, he told her about Derek's daughter. She pursed her lips and she focused her attention on Richie, her son had no clue that Sully was not his father. She knew he was too young to understand, Sully and she had discussed a long time ago when and how they would approach the subject of Richie's father. She frowned, she was most likely going to have to tell him far soon then they ever planned on. Sometimes she wished she would never have to tell him. Richie adored Sully and Sully adored Richie. He never treated him any different from A.J. or Maddie. As far as they were both concerned Richie was his son. Blood never mattered. As soon as she finished her discussion with Richard she had a talked about the turn of events with Sully. They both agreed they had to let Richie be tested even though the chances of his being a match were small but on the off chance that he was a match, they both felt they really were left with no choice. Richard had promised to have Ellie's medical files faxed to her office. They would bring Richie in tomorrow for a blood test and compare the results.
Her gaze returned to her husband and she smiled again, she considered herself a very lucky woman. Once she had met Sully she finally understood about Derek and Meredith. Derek and her relationship was never easy and it took a longtime to develop. He had chased her down for months trying to get her to go out with him while they were interns. It definitely was not love at first sight. It took a while but he finally worn her down and she agreed to go out with him. She had truly thought he was the love of her life. She had been wrong, but she never regretted her time with Derek. Even the last year because if she never went to Seattle and tried to get her marriage back she would not have Richie in her life and having him was worth the pain of that year.
Her smile grew wider as she thought about how she met Sully. With Sully it was definitely love at first sight. He was most definitely the love of her life, her soul mate and her best friend. Surprisingly she had met him same the night that she had been held hostage at the hospital. They were married a week later, much to the horror of her mother. She grinned as she remembered her mother's reaction. She had screamed at her for an hour over the phone, and then she took the next available flight to New York.
