Hey everyone! I'm back...COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by the season finale! I am so happy that Addie went back to Sam in the end...but the cliffhanger with Pete is making me wish that we didnt have to wait 4 months for season 5. TORTURE! I CANT WAIT THAT LONG! Anywho, this chapter has a bit of Addie-Sam fluff, because I am so dang happy that they are together again and I really hope that Addie gets a baby in season 5! Enjoy!

Also, thanks to AmyHale for beta-ing this chapter, and to Corazon90, for being the only brave reviewer for my last chapter :-/.

A/N: I do not own Private Practice

Now that he was alone, Sam decided it was safe to check on Addison. He had cleaned up a little in the kitchen to give her some space, but now that it was clean he felt he had allowed enough time for her to calm down. Taking a deep breath, he headed up the stairs and knocked on their bedroom door.

"Addie?" he called. There was no answer, so he knocked and tried again. "Addison?" he could hear sniffling sounds from within, and he pushed the door open. Addison was lying on her side, facing the other way so he couldn't see her face, but he could tell from the way her shoulders were shaking that she was crying. He sighed and joined her on the bed.

"Addie?" he placed a hand on her shoulder but she didn't move.

"Go away," she sobbed. "Please." he pulled her red hair away from her face.

"What's wrong, babe?" he asked, gently rubbing her shoulders. "Talk to me."

"I...I c-can't..." she sniffled. "I...d-don't want you t-to see m-me like t-this!"

"Like what?" he asked as he continued rubbing circles on her back.

"L-like t-THIS!" she gestured to the tears that were streaming uncontrollably down her cheeks. "I'm a freaking hormone casserole, I'm fat and disgusting and on freaking bed rest for god knows how long, and on top of that, I can't even fit into the damn lingerie that my ex had so kindly sent me. UGH!" Sam opened his arms and she fell into them, sobbing into his chest and staining his shirt with salty tears.

"Addie," he said softly as he stroked her hair. "Look at me." she shook her head.

"No."

"Addison Adrienne Forbes Montgomery! Will you please look at me!" she raised her head slowly and met his eyes. He took her face in his hands, gently forcing her to maintain eye contact.

"I love you," he told her quietly. "I love you and that baby, and you are beautiful. More than beautiful, Addie- you take my breath away every time I look at you." she snorted.

"Please, Sam. I'm fat and hideous and you know it."

"Addison!" he gripped her firmly by the shoulders and kissed her on the lips, ignoring her protests and pulling her closer when she tried to pull away. "You are beautiful," he said again, wiping away her tears with his thumb. "I don't care how many times I have to say it, I love you and you will always be beautiful to me, Addie." She buried her face into his neck and he he held her, gently stroking her back until she finally cried herself to sleep.

"Hey," Sam said softly when Addison opened her eyes the next morning.

"Hey." she smiled at him and propped her head up with her elbow. He kissed her lips gently and brushed a strand of red hair out of her eyes.

"Sleep well?" he asked.

"Like the dead," she replied, yawning hugely. "What time is it?"

"It's after 11." her eyes widened.

"Shit! Sam, why didn't you wake me up? Shouldn't you be at work?" she sat up quickly, kicking the covers off and allowing them to fall on the floor.

"Relax. You needed to rest, and I took the day off. No biggie."

"You took the day off? Really?" in all the time she had known him, Samuel Bennett never took the day off. Ever. The idea shocked her slightly, but she found herself smiling, delighted with the thought that it was just the two of them in the house.

"Yep. It's just you and me today." Sam smiled brightly at the look on his girlfriend's face. "Are you hungry?" she nodded.

"Starved, but I think food can wait. I have other needs that need taking care of at the moment."

"And what might those be?" Sam asked curiously, eyebrows raised at the idea of her turning down food.

"This." she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him fully on the lips, pulling him closer to her and breathing in his scent.

"Addison," he protested, surprised by her suggestion. They haven't done it for weeks, since she was feeling fat and disgusting she hadn't allowed him to even touch her lately. "Are you sure?"

"Hell yes," she muttered between kisses. "Why? Don't you want to?" she pulled away and studied his expression, and she could see the doubt and confusion in his eyes. "You don't want to." she realized, feeling hurt. Tears sprang to her eyes and she found herself cursing her pregnancy hormones.

"Addie! Of course I want to!" Sam said quickly, seeing the hurt look on his girlfriend's face. "I'm just surprised that YOU want to. I mean, we haven't done it lately..." Addison nodded thoughtfully, tracing a random pattern on the bedspread with her fingertip.

"Did I hurt your feelings?" Sam asked when she didn't respond.

"No," she answered too quickly, giving herself away when her voice broke. Sam sighed.

"Addie..."

"Forget it. I'm kind of hungry, anyway. Is there any cake left?" he smiled.

"Cake for breakfast? Really?"

"And chips. Oh, and maybe some ice cream?" Sam laughed.

"I'll get right on that. Unless you'd rather I whip you some eggs? Cake isn't exactly a healthy breakfast for a pregnant lady."

"Fine," she grumbled, sticking out her lower lip a little. "Make that an omelette. But I want cake on the side."

"You got it." He kissed the top of her head and she smiled sheepishly at him.

"What?" he asked. She shook her head, still smiling.

"Nothing. It's just...you know how you keep saying that I'm beautiful?"

"Yeah? You are."

"You kind of are too."

"Gee, thanks for the amazing compliment!" Addison laughed.

"You know what I mean. Your hot and sexy and gorgeous. And so great with me, putting up with my crazy hormonal crap." she snuggled into his arms for a moment. "I love you."

"And I love you." he kissed the top of her head again and stood up. "I'll go make you some breakfast. Would you like me to bring it up here? Or..."

"No, I'll come down. I want to look at the presents again." Sam grinned.

"Alright then. I'll set up the couch for you." he helped her out of bed and she put on a robe and some slippers, and together they headed downstairs and into the kitchen.

"You, couch, now." he said, pointing towards the living room. Addison raised her eyebrows.

"But I just got out of bed!" she protested as Sam guided her to the living room.

"No buts, you're supposed to be on bed rest here." he placed a couple of pillows and the remote within arms reach and helped her get comfortable.

"Thanks," she mumbled a bit sourly. Sam grinned.

"No problem. Breakfast will be ready shortly."

"Ok." he headed into the kitchen and quickly gathered the ingredients together when his cell phone rang.

"Bennett," he answered, cracking an egg on the side of the bowl with his free hand while holding the phone with the other.

"Sam?" Naomi's voice answered him.

"Oh, hey Nae. How are things?"

"Not bad. It's just...I miss you. How is Addie doing?"

"She's good. I'm making her breakfast. Omelets, actually."

"Oh. Well, be a good boy and don't burn the house down. Is Addie resting?"

"Yes. I banned her from helping me in the kitchen, she's watching TV on the couch." Sam smiled as he realized what Addison was watching. "She's watching Spongebob Squarepants." Naomi laughed loudly.

"Great, your kid's favorite cartoon will be a talking sponge. Wonderful." Sam joined in on her laughter but was having trouble getting the ingredients out of the bowl and into the pan for cooking with only one hand. He knocked over the plate with his elbow and it clattered to the floor with a loud crash, though fortunately not breaking.

"Shit! Hey Nae...can I call you back? Disaster strikes in the kitchen." he could practically hear Naomi grinning into the phone.

"Sure thing, Bennett. Say hi to Addie for me, tell her I might stop by later."

"Will do. Bye Nae."

"Later." he hung up the phone and was able to successfully whip up the omelet without causing further damage.

"Breakfast is served," he said a moment later, smirking as Addie ignored the omelet and began shoving cake into her mouth.

"Delicious," she mumbled between swallows. "Aren't you gonna eat?" she asked as he continued to watch her devour the food.

"Oh, I can eat later. I'd like to finish where we left off upstairs..." Addison grinned and polished off the last of her omelet.

"Sounds like a plan," she murmured, throwing her arms around his neck. He took her jaw and captured her mouth with his, bringing her closer to him, or as close as he could with the baby bump in the way. Her lips parted and she moaned as he explored her mouth with his tongue.

"God I've missed this," she whispered as the kiss quickly became more passionate. He reached behind her and pulled off her robe, sending shivers down her spine as he ran his hand down her back. He was about to undo her bra but was interrupted by the phone ringing.

"Damn it," he grumbled, about to pull away to answer it.

"Answering machine," Addison reminded him, grabbing his shirt and pulling him closer. She undid the buttons quickly and soon their bodies were pressed together in a tangled mess of passion. From a distance, Addison could hear the beep as the machine picked up.

"Montgomery. Leave a message." Her heart stopped for a minute when she heard Derek's voice.

"Addison. It's Derek. Listen...I was hoping we could talk...um...I guess I'll catch you later. Bye!" Addison groaned and let her head fall back into the pillows.

"Are you going to call him?" Sam asked as she snuggled up against him.

"Meh. He can wait."

"You really should call him. I'm surprised you didn't tell him that you were pregnant."

"He knows now." she reminded him.

"But only because Callie told him! Addie, I really think you need to..." Addison rolled her eyes.

"Fine, fine," she grumbled. "Yeesh. So much for the hot sex I was gonna get. Thanks a lot, Derek." she put on her bathrobe and Sam handed her the phone, grinning slightly at the expression on her face.

"Meet me in the shower," he whispered into her ear, sending a thrill of excitement through her as she quickly punched in Derek's number.

"Addie?"a he answered on the second ring.

"Hey, Derek."

"Hey! I'm glad you called, I've been wanting to talk to you."

"I know, me too."

"So...um...congratulations." he said after a moment of uncomfortable silence. "You must be excited. When is it due?"

"Actually, IT is a SHE, and she's due in about 9 weeks."

"Wow. Have you guys thought of a name yet?"

"I have a few ideas, but we haven't really discussed them or anything..." she frowned, realizing that she would have to talk to Sam about names. "Ella," she said quietly, smiling to herself.

"What?"

"Her name is Ella. Ella Carson Montgomery-Bennett."

"Did you just come up with that now?" Derek asked with a laugh.

"Kinda." another pause, Addison could hear some papers being shuffled.

"Thanks for the gift," Addison said softly. "It meant a lot to me." Derek snorted.

"It's only a stroller."

"Its the thought that counts. Sam and I are pretty much set after the baby shower."

"You'll have to send me pictures when you get a chance, from what I heard it sounded like a lot of fun."

"It was. I'll e-mail you some soon," Addison promised.

"Great. Hey, Addie, I gotta run. I just wanted to offer you my belated congratulations." she swallowed the lump she felt in her throat.

"Thank you."

"Tell Sam I said hi."

"Will do."

"Take care of yourself, Addie. Talk to you soon."

"Ok. Bye, Derek."

"Bye." she hung up the phone thoughtfully, feeling sad at how strained their conversation seemed to be. Talking to Derek used to be as easy as breathing, but now there were too many awkward pauses. She could hear Sam coming down the stairs and quickly wiped the sudden moisture out of her eyes.

"Hey," he greeted her as he joined her on the couch. "How's Seattle?"

"Seattle is good. Derek told me to tell you that he said hi, and he wants to see pictures of the baby shower as soon as you get a chance." Sam nodded.

"I can email some once I get them on the computer."

"That would be great. Oh,I kind of named our baby while you were away." Sam raised his eyebrows.

"You did?" she smiled sheepishly.

"It kind of came to me while I was talking to Derek. What do you think of Ella Carson Montgomery-Bennett?"

"I think it's perfect." he placed a hand on her belly and smiled when he felt a soft nudge from inside her abdomen. "Ella seems to like it." Addison placed her hand on top of his.

"Hey, baby Ella. Mommy and Daddy are here. We can't wait to meet you," Addison said softly as she stroked her bump. "I love you so much, my pretty little baby. I can't wait until I finally get to hold you." Sam smiled at the red-head that he loved with all his heart.

"Soon," he reassured her. "She will be here soon."
