Note: I was a really good mood yesterday, so I put up a sneak preview of my upcoming fanfiction series that takes place 3 years after S4 of GA. It's an actual series, not a ficlets or one-shot series, but a multi-chapter--you know what, I'll give you guys the url so you can see the preview as well. There's a note prior to fic excerpt, so read that & the fic premise, then the preview. It's not coming out until the summer, but I needed to let people know a bit about it. The link will be at the bottom. Enjoy that & Enjoy this.
It's their first real talk besides an incubator. Hell, it's the first real talk between them considering there's no screaming involved. There's a little debate, one in which Addison says she gets the part about a teenager panicking and throwing her baby away. That statement of hers makes his blood boil for a second, until she explains that what she doesn't get is how someone can pretend everything's fine, when it's not.
She's whispering the whole time, because even though the baby can't really hear them, it's the sanctity of the place she doesn't want to disturb. He notices how the only times Dr. Shepherd-Montgomery isn't at least somewhat biting or cold is when there's a baby within five feet from her.
This talk besides the incubator is being etched into his mind--he's painting the tone of her voice, the comprehensiveness and hurt in her voice, and is marking some footnotes about this whole other side to her. She isn't Dr. Shepherd-Montgomery. No, this is Dr. Addison Montgomery. It's how the babies she's saved see her, so it's how he'll start seeing her. Because at this point, he knows it's only a matter of time before the Shepherd name is exhumed from her title.
A/N: replace the 'colons' and 'dots' as needed, all without the spacing as well. If a problem occurs & you aren't taken to the correct place, let me know through a review or PM. However, it might just be easier to go to my profile, click on the homepage, which takes you to my LJ community. From there, there is an entry titled "Coming this summer..." and that's where the preview is. Okay, that is all, & you can by all means ignore this whole thing if you're not interested :)
