A/N: well well well.. what can I say. Everyone saw last nights episode? We got plenty of Addex, didn't we (voice drips with sarcasm) well this is my reason for updating this fic right now.. so you can thank Shonda ;) anyway.. when I heard "Karev you are with Montgomery" I was all like "yay.. finally.. some scenes.. maybe some awkward talking .. then some Eyesex.. then confessing their true feelings for each other.." and what did we get.. Addie confronted by 1000 pregnant woman.. she must feel so sad right now.. I really feel for her. But I seriuosly loved her scenes last night. She was adorable and looked stunning.. well.. she always does.
Do you guys think we will get some Addex moments next week? (apart the one from the spoiler pic which I wont talk about cause I don't want to spoil anyone … but if you want to know… say so and I will reply to your review with the juicy details I know.. haha… no.. I don't know much… but maybe more than you do ;) )
Anyway… what makes me wonder is.. Why is Addie leaving Seattle and taking the new job (if she does) I mean she didn't mention to anyone that she is mulling over a job offer… so it will be like out of the blue "oh hey... I was in LA a few weeks back... and now I go there to take a job offer?" hmmmm
Okay I will stop here so you can read the new chapter of my fic... I hope you enjoy it.
Part 2
Previously on Open Your Eyes
Addison's hands dropped from her back and covered her mouth. She swallowed hard and looked away her eyes pooling with tears. Slowly she walked up to him, her hands shaking.
"Alex…" She whispered…not able to say anything more.
Alex's heart beat fast in his chest as he looked her up and down. His voice was trembling when he finally muttered.
"Addison… you… you…you're pregnant!"
xoxo
L.A. lights never shine quite as bright as in the movies
Still wanna
go?
'Cause something here
In the way, in the way that we're constantly
moving
Reminds you of home
She was looking anywhere but at him. Her hands were shaking and a few drops of perspiration appeared on her forehead. She didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do and before she had a chance to utter a word a male figure walked up behind her.
"Everything all right Addie?" A deep voice asked as his hand landed on her shoulder to support her.
Addison's eyes travelled to the hand and then looked up at the man beside her. He was tall with short cut brown hair and brown eyes. He was about 45 years old and he had a light tan.
"Yeah…" She whispered, still not able to form a whole sentence
The older man looked at Alex and held out his hand, smiling.
"Hello. I am Dr. Peter Bowen. I am a neurosurgeon here at this hospital. Are you a friend or an ex-colleague of Addie's from Seattle?" He asked in a polite tone waiting for Alex to shake his hand.
Alex swallowed and stared at the hand for at least a minute before he finally grabbed hold and shook it. "Alex Karev… and … colleague and friend… yeah..." He mumbled his voice dry.
"It's nice to get to know someone from Addie's past. She doesn't talk much about Seattle." He bent down and kissed her temple and Alex cringed at the sight in front of him.
Addison was still silent. Her eyes were pooled with tears. Peter didn't seem to notice, but Alex did.
"Why are you here?" Peter asked, his fingers lacing through hers.
Alex got sick to his stomach. He started to sweat as he tried to form coherent words in his mind.
"I… I should go." He took a deep breath "It was nice meeting you Dr. Bowen. Bye Addison." He nodded at both of them, turned around, started to walk away and had almost reached the exit when he heard someone calling after him.
"Alex wait..." Addison's voice reached his ears.
He stopped but didn't turn to face her as she walked up to him.
"Alex… I…"
"Well as I can see you really meant what you wrote in that letter huh? About the moving on..." He stated sadly turning around but not looking up.
"Alex… please…"
"It didn't take you long… When did you hook up with him? Considering that you are pretty far along I guess it was right after you started working here."
"I…. no…"
"Stop it Addison… I get it… I shouldn't have come here. It was stupid. For some reason I had the faith that you would miss me like I miss you. That I was more for you than just a one night stand. Apparently I was wrong. Well … good luck with your neurosurgeon... you seem to have a thing for those" He hissed but his voice remained sad "Oh… and congratulations." He spit out before he left her standing in the hallway of a crowded hospital floor, stepped outside and walked away.
Addison stood there, watching the door close as she broke down into tears. She didn't care that people were looking at her strangely and she sure as hell didn't care that she was on her knees in the middle of the floor…
Again a hand dropped softly on to her shoulder and she noticed Peter sitting down in front of her. He hugged her shaking body tightly and smoothed her hair.
"Shhhh. Everything is going to be okay…. calm down…shhhh" He continued to caress her hair, shooting everyone who stared at them an angry look, which caused them to quickly.
Finally her crying stopped and her shaking was reduced to occasional shudders. He took her hands in his and helped her up, looking into her eyes.
"You want to tell me what happened Addie?" He asked quietly, his hand making its way up to softly stroke her cheek.
She swallowed and shook her head.
"C'mon Addison…I haven't seen this certain look ever since the day you started working here. I already have my assumptions… but…"
"That… that was Alex..." She whispered her voice still husky from crying.
"Yeah…he...he told me his name." He looked at her and wiped away a new tear. "Is he…?"
She nodded "Yes."
"And he doesn't know?"
Again she shook her head
"Apparently he thinks... I am with you and that… it is yours " She hiccupped
"Oh Addison…I am so sorry… I shouldn't have… my hand… I… I'm really sorry."
"Its all right… it's not your fault. You are my best friend. You have been there for me since I started working here.. you took care of me when I found out that I was pregnant… we grew close. It's only natural that we touch… and…well…you are gay... so…"
"But he doesn't know that. From his point of view it really must have looked like…"
"Maybe it's better that way." She shrugged her shoulders
"You are kidding right? Addison look at me. Do you know how long it took to make you smile? How broken you were when you started working here. I knew that something was up back then but I never pushed you into talking. When you then told me you were pregnant…I at least had a vague idea about what had happened… and now that Alex showed up here, the puzzle is finally complete. I saw the look in his eyes… and even if it didn't seem that way… I also noticed the look in your eyes. You love him don't you?"
"I…I.."
"Don't lie to me Addie."
"Yes. Yes I do love him."
"Then tell him!"
"I already told him."
"When?"
"I… I left a letter…before I came here." She mumbled her voice almost inaudible.
"A letter?" He rolled his eyes "Let me guess…you told him all this bullshit you were telling me when you started here…about moving on…letting things go…"
"Kind of…" She admitted
"And in between all of this you mentioned that you love him?"
"I… I wrote it at the end of the letter."
He shook his head
"Peter you don't understand. I had to come here. I had to sort out the mess that my life had become. I tried to move on. I tried to start over."
"That worked very well huh?" He pointed at her pregnant belly.
"I said I tried…not that I succeeded." She crossed her arms in front of her chest taking some deep breaths.
"You have to talk to him Addison. He came all the way here…" Peter tried.
"6 months later."
"It takes us male individuals longer to sort out such letters." He smirked
"And what do I tell him?"
"Gosh woman…you drive me crazy, you know that?" He ran his fingers through his hair "Tell him that you love him… tell him that you miss him…tell him that you were miserable without him… because that's what you were, seriously."
"Gee… thanks."
"Just tell him how you feel. Give him a chance. He came after you. That has to mean something. I know that. Trust me. He loves you just as much as you love him"
"I know that… I know he loves me. He told me even before I told him." She sighed. "You are right..." She looked around suddenly alarmed "But I don't even know where he went."
"I would try the airport."
"Right… thank you." She turned around "Wait… I need to take the day off."
Peter rolled his eyes "Go Addison.. I will explain it to the chief."
She smiled at him gratefully, nodded and left.
TBC
