Hey everyone! So happy to see all the positive reviews this story keeps getting! You guys are the best! This chapter is a bit shorter than the other ones but next one will be a lot longer. I got most of it typed out already so another update shouldn't take too long. Special thanks to nkobrocks for helping me with this chapter! You're awesome! Oh, you may also recognize some lines from Grey's Anatomy in here ;-) cheers!
A/N: nope, dont own it. wish I did though!
"Hey," Sam said softly, pulling up a chair and taking a seat next to Addison's bed. "How are you feeling?"
"How do you think I'm feeling?" Addison snapped. She didn't mean to sound rude, but she was tired of people asking her that question when she had already made her feelings perfectly obvious. "Nai hates me, I'm exhausted, and you're probably going to tell me that you don't want anything to do with me or this baby." she paused, trying hard to fight the tears that were struggling to make its appearance. "Just say it, Sam. I'm a big girl, I can handle it." Her attitude took him by surprise.
"I'm not leaving." he said softly, taking her hand in his and squeezing it gently. "That's my kid in there, it's a part of me. YOU are a part of me." he rested his hand on her belly.
"And what about Nai?" Addison asked, a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "And Maya and Olivia? Are you just going to turn your back on them?" Sam shook his head.
"No. They are a part of me too. But my feelings for her are different than what I feel for you. Naomi is my past, Addison. You are my future. This baby is my future, as well as your dream. I can't turn away from that." Addison still wasnt convinced.
"But Naomi, she never liked us together." she said stubbornly, folding her arms over her chest. "I'm sure she hates me now that she knows I'm having your kid." Sam shrugged.
"She'll get over it."
"And if she doesnt?"
"Then its her loss. I'm not going to let her feelings stand in the way of what I feel for you. I love you, Addison. Nothing Naomi says or does can change that."
"So you're in?" she asks, her lips tugging upwards into a smile. Sam nodded.
"Yes. I'm in." Addison threw her arms around him.
"Thank you," she murmured into his ear. Sam pulled away and looked at her.
"For what?" he asked.
"For not bailing out on me. For sticking with me through all of this. I know you didnt want to do this yet."
"I love you," he said as he embraced her once again. "I would never walk out on you, Addison."
"I love you too, Samuel Bennett. Always and forever." Sam stared into her warm green eyes.
"You're beautiful, you know that?" he whispered into her ear as he stroked her soft red hair.
"So are you." He chuckled softly.
"That's a first. I don't think anyone has called me pretty before."
"You know what I mean." she nestled her head into his neck, both of them enjoying the peace they felt in each others arms. Sam had a different idea.
Their lips met , and he pulled her closer to him. He placed one hand on the small of her back and the other locked into her auburn hair. She starts to pull away, but he leans in to kiss her again, taking in her scent as he starts to gently caress her stomach. Thinking that she can call him beautiful or pretty anytime she wants to as long as the baby and her stay healthy. The baby. Sam's eyes widened as the reality of it sank in. Wow, shes having my baby. As this thought jumps into his mind his kiss becomes more passionate, and she can feel it. She pulls him closer until she can feel him laying right on the bed next to her, the passionate kiss never ending. She yearns to be with him as he starts to move his hands underneath the hospital gown, neither of them noticing when the door opened and Amelia walked in.
"Ok, I hate to break up this little party that we got going on in here, but we need to run some tests and do an ultrasound to make sure everything is ok with Addie and her baby." Amelia's voice rang out. When neither of them paid her any attention, she muttered, "Or I guess we can do it later."
"Later," Sam agrees, not bothering to turn around and brushing her off with a wave of his hand. "Kind of busy here."
"So I see," Amelia giggled. "Glad you're feeling better, Addie."
Addison could feel herself blushing and she hid her face into Sam's chest.
"Just go, Amelia!" She groaned. Amelia giggled again, but took the hint and left, making sure to close the door behind her.
So what do you think? Next chapter should be up in a few days and it takes place a few months after the recent events. here's a preview:
