A/N: All right... how is everyone feeling one week after the season's finale? Still pissed? Still drunk... still annoyed?
I've got a new theory about Ava. After she remembered how her life used to be before the accident... boring and deadly plain, she decided to go for Alex, because she thought that she didn't want to end up living a boring life. Before that she maybe thought she had a good life... and so she didn't care much for Alex... gosh she tried to set him up with Addie... and not just once.. But then suddenly she is in love with him? Yeah sure... whatever... I don't get it.
Oh—and I remembered reading a spoiler before the finale in which stood "Addison and Alex cant deny their feelings for each other any longer, and fans finally get what they wanted. Well what can I say ... "THAT WAS NOT WHAT I WANTED" I wanted them together... I wanted them happy... but oh well. I will learn either to not read spoilers anymore... or at least take them with a grain of salt.
This week I read an article about Addison and her departure... or how it should have been... here is a quote from it
"Addison. It's a well known fact that Addison will be leaving for 'Private Practice' next season; so this makes the aforementioned confusion even more shocking. How do you write cliffhangers for two characters that should be back and largely ignore the one who is definitely leaving on her final episode? It's completely irrational. What the hell is going to happen on the first episode of next season? "Where's Addison?" "Ohh she left and started working with that guy from Wings." "Huh. Ok. So how about those new interns?" It just doesn't make sense. She should have gone out in style, a touching goodbye to Derek, one last steamy look at Mark Sloan. Hell, she should have burned the hospital down. Just give viewers some kind of grand exit. I would have even been happy with one lonely tear. I can't get one tear? Goddamnit!" source: Wednesday´s weekly
So true... I would have loved to see her burning down the hospital, hehe... or hey… at least she should have blown up that stupid trailer... I never liked it... haha... KABOOM!
Okay… without further rambling… here comes chapter 4
Thank you Claire for beta reading. You always know the right words to say lil sis.
Previously on "Open your eyes"
The kiss was soft, sensual but was carrying a lot of underlying promises, tenderness and passion.
After they parted their foreheads remained touched "Come back with me Addie." Alex breathed out as he looked at her.
She was silent and moved away slowly. She gasped for air and her hands started to get sweaty. "I am sorry Alex… I… My life is here now… I … I can't go back with you."
Chapter 4
You want all my love and my devotion
You want my loving so, right on the line
I've had no doubts that I could love you, forever
The only trouble is, You really don't have the time
Alex´ heart started to beat faster as he moved closer to her and tried to get a hold of her hand.
"Addison… what…"
"I just can't do it Alex" She shook her hand out of his grasp. "I left Seattle for a reason… and it took me long enough to heal, in fact I am still healing and I am not going back just to become a mess once again."
"It's different this time. You are not alone. You have me. I will be there for you." Alex tried to convince her, sincerity evident in his eyes.
"I know you would…" Now Addison was the one grabbing his hand, squeezing it lightly. "And I appreciate that… "
"But you can't" Alex repeated her words from just a minute before.
"Yeah…"
"So that's it? I came all the way down here for nothing? Addison… you are pregnant with my child. I want to be a part of it."
"You will be. I promise." Her eyes got teary but just before a tear threatened to fall she wiped it away.
"How? How are we gonna work this out? We both have jobs and you know as well as I do that we almost never get a day off."
"Alex…" Her hand came up to touch his face "We will make this work. I don't want to keep you from your daughter. I will talk to Richard and I will talk to the chief of LA city hospital. It will work, trust me."
"So... I am gonna see my daughter once in a month?"
She swallowed hard. "I will take some time off after the birth. I can come to Seattle for a few days... or a week."
"Oh ... so you can visit but you cant live there? Right!"
"It's not the same Alex, you have to understand that."
"You know what? I don't. I don't have to understand it. I don't have to get it. And I don't have to be fine with it." He let go of her hand and started to walk away.
"Please…. Don't do this." She called after him
"Do what Addison? Walk away? It's what you do all the time. Now it's my turn." His voice was cold but she could also hear the hurt mirroring his vibrant tone. She watched him leaving her and sighed before the tears spilled down both of her cheeks.
xoxox
Alex walked around L.A. and was pretty sure that he was going in circles. All he wanted was to clear his head but the thoughts kept crashing down on him. He wanted Addison to be with him. He wanted her to be his future. He wanted to see her last before falling asleep and first when he woke up in the morning. Why didn't she want the same?
Alex shook his head and suddenly found himself in front of a hotel. All his bones ached and he finally noticed how tired he was. So he took one deep breath and walked right into the comfortable looking building.
"How can I help you Sir?" The white haired receptionist asked with a deep voice.
"I need a room." Alex answered bluntly.
"For how long Sir?"
"Just one night. I will be gone by tomorrow."
"Oh... All right Sir. May I have your credit card please?"
"Sure." Alex took out his wallet from his duffel bag and handed the old man his card.
A few minutes later he got it back and the receptionist smiled at him. "Thank you Mr. Karev. You are in room 2214. Here is your key. Enjoy your stay."
Alex had to roll his eyes as the white haired guy told him his room number. What a coincidence... I have the same number as Addison had in Seattle. Karma is a bitch. He took the key to his room out of the older man's hand and forced a smile "Thank you."
And with those words, he made his way to the elevator and rode up to the 22nd floor, emerging from the elevator and searching for his room.
He found it pretty quickly, inserted his key and opened the door. He looked around the small place and sighed. It even looked similar to Addison's hotel room, or was that just his imagination? He shrugged his shoulders and went into the room, closing the wooden door behind him.
His bag landed on the floor with a loud thud as he made his way over to the bed, sitting down and putting his head in his hands.
"Life sucks." He whispered although no one could hear him.
He sprawled out on the bed and stared at the ceiling. His thoughts went back to Addison, he couldn't think of anything else. He had missed her so much. The moment he saw her, all his bottled up feelings were suddenly released.
Her face appeared in front of his eyes. She was smiling, glowing even, her hands protectively on her stomach. He smiled. She was carrying his child, his daughter. The thought alone made him happier than anything else. He wanted to have a life with her. He wanted a family. He wanted all of it.
He sighed and closed his eyes and soon he fell into a restless sleep.
xoxox
A few hours later
Addison Montgomery was sitting on the old red futon couch in her classy 2 bedroom apartment with a large carton of ice cream in her left hand and a pickle in her right one. She dipped the pickle into the strawberry ice cream took a large bite, chewed and swallowed. She licked her lips and repeated her motions a few more times.
The television program was showing an old Meg Ryan movie, when Harry met Sally. Addison was in her blue satin Pj´s with her legs placed onto the table and feeling sorry for herself.
She thought about Alex. He came all the way to LA just for her and he was happy with her being pregnant. He wanted to be a part of his daughter's life and he wanted to be with Addison. She sighed.
She wanted to be with Alex and have a future with him more than she could imagine, but giving up her life and going back to the place she called hell for so long wasn't an option for her.
"Life sucks." She mumbled before she returned her gaze back to the television watching Meg Ryan faking an orgasm in a restaurant.
She loved that movie and had seen it at least half a dozen times; still she couldn't get enough of it. She loved happy endings and was a sucker for happy couples. She always wanted to end up like them. Happy and in love, getting married, having babies.
Well... at least she didn't have to worry about the baby part. As if on a cue her little one started to kick her hard.
"Hey there." She laughed "Kicking mommy's bladder again, aren't you?" She touched her belly and rubbed it in soft circles. "You are throwing your own party in there, huh?" She was still smiling as she stood up.
"Going to pee every 10 minutes is pathetic." She mumbled "I could go and live right in the bathroom, ´cause as soon as I am done and finished dressing... I have to pee again." She sighed, still rubbing her growing stomach.
"Don't worry. I am not complaining... I love you... you know that… it's just funny, you know." She was still talking to her unborn daughter and had almost reached the bathroom when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
Addison cocked an eyebrow and looked on the clock hanging on the opposite wall. It was past 10 p.m. and she wasn't expecting anyone. Who on earth would disturb her at his time of night? She shrugged her shoulders and made her way to her front door.
She saw the silhouette from through the window which seemed familiar to her. She swallowed. It couldn't be… could it?
With shaking hands she opened the door to find Alex outside, staring at her.
"What..."
"Can I come in?" Alex cut her off and walked into her apartment before Addison had the chance to answer. She closed the door behind him and leaned against it.
"Where did you get my address?" She asked slightly taken aback.
"The hospital." He answered shortly and started to wander around.
"Nice place." He observed after awhile. Addison slowly followed him with her arms crossed over her chest.
He wandered through her living room, scanned the kitchen, the guest room, which was now turned into a room for the baby, her bedroom and even the bathroom.
"Alex… what..?" But again he cut her off.
"I really like it. It's not too big… not too little. Great furniture you have there, not girly at all. I guess I could like it here."
Addisons eyes widened in shock. "You what?"
"You better get used to the idea, ´cause you're stuck with me. If you're not coming back to Seattle... then I guess I will have to move here." He walked up to her and took her face into his hands. "I love you Ads and I am not leaving you. I lost you once and I am not going to do that again. The past 6 months have been hell and I don't want to go through that ever again.
Addison smiled, tears beaming in her eyes "You want to move here?"
"I do." He said also smiling
"What about your job?"
"Well... as a matter of fact... I already talked to Richard… and your hospital has an open resident position... now guess who's the attending I will be working for."
Now she was laughing "Well… I guess that's settled then. Are you really sure about that?" She turned serious again.
"110 . I want to be with you. You and that little one here..." He put his hands on her stomach "... are my future."
"I love you." She whispered quietly closing the remaining space between them, her lips crashing down on his.
They kissed until they both ran out of air. The kiss was not only sensual and passionate but also sweet and caring. She had never been kissed like that and wanted nothing more than do it again and keep on doing it forever.
Alex smiled at her "One more thing..." He breathed
"And what's that?" She asked her voice still hoarse from kissing.
Their foreheads still touched when Alex reached into his pocket and revealed a little black satin box. He took a step back from her and opened it in front of her eyes.
"Marry me Addison Montgomery."
And sometimes… when you least expect it you find the last remaining piece of a puzzle and suddenly… everything seems to fit.
