Hi everyone! I know I didn't update in ages and I don't know if there is anyone who sill want to read this story but I hope there is. Here's the next chapter. There is a beginning of Addek angst and Addex friendship. Tell me what you think about this story please !!

- Your wife is on maternity floor…

- I was there and no one saw her.

- Cause she is in one if the patient's rooms. She almost collapsed during surgery so I walked her out of the OR and into a room. She was exhausted and dehydrated so I took her blood and put in an IV drip. She's resting now and I'm waiting for the results to came back.

- She wasn't feeling well for a few days. I asked her to get a check up. I was going to run some tests after her surgery.

- It's ok. Let's hope she's just extremely tired and stressed and that's all.

- I'm going there.

- No! I promised her I won't tell you.

- But I'm her husband. I can't leave her alone now. I neglected her too much in the past.

- Ok but if she will be pissed at me…

- It will be my fault don't worry.

Derek run to the elevators and up to maternity floor. Alex told him in which room Addison was so he went directly there. He gently opened the door in case she was asleep. He walked to the bed and saw her face. She was peaceful and so beautiful. He sat on the edge of the bed and gently kissed her lips. He also put a blanket tighter around her and checked the IV drip. Than he sat in a chair near the bed and just watched her sleep. After few minutes Addison stired and opened her eyes. She was a bit shocked when she sensed someone in the room but she couldn't see anyone cause the room was dark.

Derek saw her stir and knew she could be scared so he walked to the bed and took her hand.

It's ok Addie. It's me.

Derek? What are you doing here?

Yes it's me and I'm here because you are my wife.

But how?

Karev told me. I didn't give him other choice. How are you feeling?

I'll kill him. He wasn't supposed to tell you. I'm better now but still a little lightheaded.

Don't kill him he's a good guy. He didn't want to tell me but I forced him. You should take some time off and rest.

I can't. There's no one here to replace me. I'm fine now just needed some sleep – she tried to get out of bed but was too weak and almost fell.

You're too weak to work, especially today.

Derek, I'm telling you I'm fine. I'm ready to work.

I don't think so – said Alex from the doorway – I've got your results.

Let me see them – she was now angry.

I'll tell you everything but while you let me do the tests, I'm your doctor so let me be one.

I don't need a doctor cause I'm fine – she said through gritted teeth.

I know you could make my life a living hell but damn it Addison don't be so stubborn and listen – he yelled – you're pregnant. 10 weeks along – he said much calmer.

Addison was stunned by his attitude and her pregnancy. Derek however happy about the baby sensed that it wasn't all.

Karev, what are you not telling us?

From the blood tests I can tell that her body is very weak. She has anemia and there might be problem with her kidneys. Her blood pressure is higher than it should be and there's a chance for gestational diabetes.

Ok but what does it mean? – Derek was confused by everything.

It means that I could miscarry anytime or in order to safe my life I should terminate the pregnancy.

That would be the best option because during miscarriage she could hemorrhage – Alex added.

So you are basically telling me that I could be a father but seconds later you say that the best option will be to kill my child?! – Derek yelled not bothering that Addison was in the room.

With all due respect Dr Shepard but I didn't say that you should kill your child. I only said that it would be better for your wife and her health if she will have an abortion. During the miscarriage there can be complications and there's a big possibility that she'll need a hysterectomy or even die and than won't be another chance for you to have a baby. – Alex looked at Addison who had tears in her eyes. – I know that you are shocked and angry but please think about your wife and try to decide together.

I can't. I can't think about it. I know that I want this baby – he looked at Addison before he stormed out.

When the door behind Derek closed Alex walked to Addison who now had tearstains on her cheeks and hugged her.

Don't cry. He'll come around and you shouldn't be stressed. It'll be fine.

It won't be ok Alex. Derek wanted a baby for a long time. When my doctor told me that I shouldn't have children Derek was furious. Than he started to work more and neglected me.

Why did your doctor tell you to not have children?

When I was a child I had a kidney stone. It was serious enough that they removed one of my kidneys and there was a possibility that the other will fail. During pregnancy my kidney could fail and I would need dialysis and transplant.

Fuck. Does Derek know that?

Yes he knows but he thinks that it's only my excuse. And when I asked him to talk with my doctor he refused.

Ok so we will start with full diagnostics. We will repeat blood and urine tests, do ultrasounds of your kidney and the baby and will go from there. When did you have the last attack of kidney stones?

A year ago more or less. Alex I appreciate what you are doing but I don't think that it will work. You said yourself that my body can't take this pregnancy. I don't want to be disappointed when I'll miscarry.

Addison, let's do the tests and see what the situation looks like. If your kidney is in good shape and we could monitor it and the pregnancy and you will take it very easy maybe there is a chance that you will carry this baby to term. – he smiled at her and squeezed her hand.

Ok we could do the tests but don't tell Derek. I don't want to give him false hopes.

If I were you I would kick his sorry ass. He shouldn't act like that. I understand that he is shocked but it's also your baby and more importantly your body.

He is impulsive but I hope that when he cools off he will understand.
