A/N: I am so sorry that this has taken me a while but I've been stuck, then exams took over my life. Thank god I'm on half term right now before my next lot of exams. I will try and get the next chapter written soon-ish, but I can't promise anything. I feel that this chapter isn't as good as it could have been, but seeing as I haven't updated in a while, I'm updating it. Maybe I'll go back and re-write, but I doubt it for now.
Enjoy
Addison tucked the phone between her ear and her shoulder, waiting for her brother to pick up. She put the suitcase on the bed in the hotel room, opening it before walking to the closet and pulling her clothes out.
"Hello?" Archer's groggy voice floated down the line.
"Hey, Archie." She smiled softly as she began to fold her clothes, putting them into her suitcase.
"Hey, Ads. How's Seattle?"
"Urgh. Horrible. It's always raining here. It's hardly ever sunny."
Archer chuckled softly at his baby sister. "It can't be that bad."
"Oh it is." Addison nodded, even though her brother couldn't see it. "I'm moving to LA, Archie." Addison held her breath slightly as she finished packing, closing her suitcase and zipping it close securely, waiting for Archer's reaction.
"What?" Archer asked surprised. His baby sister was moving again, even further across the country.
"I'm moving to LA." She repeated, knowing Archer wouldn't be happy.
"Why? Why not move back here, to New York?"
"I can't, Archie. I'm sorry. There's nothing left for me here anymore. Me and Derek aren't married. I don't have a reason to stay." She sighed sadly and sat down on the bed next to her suitcase. "I need to do this, Archie. I have to." Her voice was soft as she spoke, hoping her brother understood.
Archer sighed and closed his eyes, wishing Addison was still in New York. "This is really the best thing? Wouldn't New York be better? You've got me and all your friends here."
"There's too much history there. Too many memories. I need to start afresh. Go somewhere new."
"I could kill Derek for hurting you." Archer mumbled, feeling the anger bubbling again as he thought about how much Derek had hurt Addison throughout the years. He knew Addison had hurt Derek as well, but she had done it to hurt Derek back. Archer knew Derek wasn't right for his sister. He just wished Addison had listened to him and Bizzy in the beginning.
"I know." Addison whispered softly. "But you're not going to. We both hurt each other and it's all in the past. I just want to get on with my life, Archie. I need you to understand that."
"I do. I do." Archer nodded sadly. He wanted his baby sister home where he could still protect her. No matter how old they were, Archer would always want to protect his baby sister. "Do you need any help moving?"
"No, no. I'll be fine. I have Nae to help me move." Addison smiled softly. She missed her big brother.
"Okay then. I'll come out and see you once you've settled in then."
"Of course. I wouldn't expect anything different." She grinned.
"Good." Archer smiled as well. "I love you, Ads."
"I love you too, Archie."

A week later and Addison's life was in LA. She had bought a house right near the beach, having a perfect view from the balcony in her bedroom and she loved it. She felt so relaxed when she could hear the waves lapping gently against the golden sand and the sun was shining down on them. Her life was finally starting to look up again, and so was her love life, one man in her thoughts. She had felt an instant attraction to him when she had visited LA and he had kissed her in the stairwell. The kiss had been so full of passion and meaning that her knees had gone so weak he was practically holding her up.
He had teased her about the fact that she had only moved because he had kissed her and she always insisted that it was not true, that she wouldn't move just for a kiss, but deep down, she knew that the kiss had played a big part in her decision to move. She just wasn't going to admit that to Pete, ever.

Addison pushed open her bedroom door, her eyes going wide as she looked inside. Her breath caught in her throat and she could feel the warmth starting to radiate in the pit of her stomach. She slowly walked into the room, shutting the door behind her and walking closer to her bed, her eyes trailing over the cream satin covered bed and the fine figure sexily sprawled across it. She trailed her eyes over the bare legs, moving her gaze up them to the red pants he was wearing, then over his toned stomach and muscular chest. As her eyes moved up to his face, she saw the dirty smirk he wore, his eyes shining as he looked at her.
"Addison." He spoke her name in a husky voice, drawing her closer to the bed and he reached a hand out, pulling her to lie next to him.
Addison lay on the bed, looking up at him as he propped himself on his arm, slowly pushing her top off over her head, leaving her in her lacy bra. He ran his hands up and down her sides, making a small moan leave her lips as his hands found her breasts. His hands roamed her body, slowly undressing her, finding the places where she liked to be touched, the places that made her moan.
Addison moaned, her hands gripping the sheets as Pete worked his magic with her. All he was doing was licking and touching her and he was making her scream his name out.
"I need you." She whimpered, opening her eyes and looking at him with pleading eyes.
"I know you do." Pete grinned before he hovered above her, parting her legs before…

BANG!
Addison opened her eyes, finding herself lying on her front on her bedroom floor. Once again she had fallen out of bed while having a sex dream about Pete. She had lost count of how many times she had woken up on the floor after dreaming about him. It shouldn't be happening, but he was just so…
"ARGH!!"
Addison screamed and hit the floor. She had to stop thinking like that. She had to stop thinking of Pete. He couldn't be on her mind. She had to think of something else, but he was just…
"Argh!"
She screamed again, rolling onto her back before sitting up, pulling the hair band from her hair and getting up from the floor. She quickly brushed her hair before walking into the bathroom and turning the shower on, getting under the water, trying to clear her mind.

Addison tiredly lifted her head from the back of the couch and smiled as Pete walked into her office with a bunch of flowers.
"You do realise that I didn't actually give birth, right?" She teased, holding the baby girl securely.
"I know. They're not from him though." Pete smiled at the sight of Addison in a hoodie that was too big for her and a baby snuggled against her chest. "There's a card." He held the flowers out to her so she could take the card.
Addison smiled and took the card one-handed, opening it and reading the inside. "Aww that's sweet."
"Who's it from?" Pete asked, not sure if he wanted to know.
"My date from last night." She smiled and put the card back, the baby still nestled in her arms.
"I don't think you should see him again, Addison. He's not your type." Pete looked at her seriously.
"You don't know my type, Pete." Addison's words were harsh. She was still annoyed with him over the fact that he stood her up.
"I just think that you shouldn't see him again. He's seeing Violet for a reason."
"Everyone has their problems, Pete. Just because he's seeing Violet doesn't mean he's a bad person."
"His nickname is 'Trunk'. Just, please, don't see him again."
"I can look after myself." Addison looked at Pete annoyed.
It turned out that Pete had been right, just like he always seemed to be and that annoyed Addison to no end. He didn't seem to want to be with her but he could still have the same affect on her and she was really irritated by that fact.

"Ads!" Archer grinned as he answered his phone.
"Hey arch." Addison smiled as well. "How are you?"
"I'm good. What about you? How's LA?"
"I'm good." She pulled her knees closer to her as she sat on her deck, listening to the sea and feeling the night breeze.
"Really?" Archer could see in her voice that it wasn't the complete truth.
Addison sighed, knowing that she should tell him and so she did. She told him all about Pete. About how she was attracted to him, how she thought he was attracted to her be he obviously didn't feel the same. Then she told him about 'Trunk' and Bat-girl. She told him everything, feeling better after she did.
"I miss you Archie." She whispered.
"I miss you too, Addi. I miss you too."
