"Addison, come on! Wake up and get out of bed!" Naomi shouted as she entered Addison's bedroom a few weeks after she had found out about the baby. She opened the blinds to let the sunshine inside to room and tried to get Addison out of bed.
"Hmm." Addison moaned and pulled the duvet higher over her head.
"Get out of bed lazy ass! It's a beautiful day to go shopping!"
"No!" She curled into a tighter ball.
"Come on! Since when do you say no to shopping?!" Naomi asked, hopping that would wake Addison up. "Plus it's 11am!"
"I don't care, I want to sleep!"
"Well that's sad because you won't!"
"I want to sleep! Come back in an hour!"
"Nice try, but no! Come on, we'll shop for new clothes for you since you're getting fat and for the baby too. Sounds exciting?!" Naomi exclaimed, clapping her hands.
Addison grumbled and looked at her friend.
"I'll make it up to you by buying you one hell of a breakfast...waffles, pancakes, toasts, eggs, bacon..." Naomi knew food would work; it was crazy how when she saw Addison it was always with food recently.
"Really?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, and maybe some fruits with chocolate would be good. I don't know about you, but I'd eat that." Her plan was working.
"Hmm, and a cinnamon bagel? The baby really wants one." Addison rolled onto her back.
"And warm muffins too." Naomi added smiling.
"Sounds nice." She slowly sat up.
"It does uh?"
Addison nodded and as she got out of bed
"I'll leave you a few minutes to get ready and then meet me in the living room okay?"
"Okay." Addison walked into the bathroom.
A few hours later, they were both ready to start shopping. They had eaten their big breakfast, well Addison actually finished Naomi's breakfast.
"So where are we heading first then Nae?"
"Well we should start with buying you clothes...and then we could go buy some stuff for my godchild. Okay?"
"Sure." Addison smiled.
They headed into a few boutiques and bought Addison clothes that would fit her for maybe a month. After they decided it was time for baby shopping, which was probably going to be the most exiting time. "So Addison, are you going to find out if it's a girl or a boy?"
"Yeah, I think I am." She smiled and rubbed her stomach.
"That's cool, so then maybe we should wait to buy clothes?"
"Or we just buy clothes that both girls and boys can wear."
"You could do that too." Naomi agreed. "Let's go in there, there's a lot of stuff for newborns."
"Okay." Addison smiled
Addison took a look around and couldn't help but wish it was Derek with her at the moment. She loved Naomi, for sure, but it wasn't the same thing.
She smiled slightly and walked towards the baby clothes, a baby grow with the words, 'I love daddy' written on it.
It made her want to cry, but she kept it strong and took a few breaths. One day, she would come back and buy it, because she really did want her daughter or her son to know Derek...but she didn't know when she would be able to tell him.
Then she spotted one that said 'I love mommy' on it and she smiled widely, picking it up.
"That one's cute Addie." Naomi told her as she saw Addison pick it up.
"It is, isn't it?"
"Yeah! I wish Maya would still have one, sadly, they don't make these for teens."
Addison laughed at her friend, and slyly picked up the 'I Love Daddy' one as well when Naomi wasn't looking, it could be a good way to tell Derek.
"Do you also want to buy furniture today?"
"We'll look, but it might take me a while to choose."
"For sure."
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"Did you tell your parents yet?"
"No, I haven't told them yet."
"Do you think they'll be happy?
"No, I don't think so." She sighed.
"Why? I think your dad will be." Addison had never been close to her mother, but she was a little closer to her father.
"I haven't seen them in years."
"Well maybe you should visit them."
Addison just nodded. "I will, some time."
"You should, when little cutie will be born."
"Okay."
A few hours later, they got out of the mall with a lot of shopping bags, full of clothes and toys. Addison had decided to wait for the furniture, not knowing in which room of her house the baby would stay in yet.
"Hmm, I'm hungry." Addison rubbed her stomach, spotting a Wagamama's close. "Oh, let's go there Nae." She smiled widely.
Naomi smiled at Addison's happiness of seeing food. "Sure!"
"Thanks." They made their way to the restaurant.
"What do you want to eat?"
:
"Hmm, it's mostly noodles, we don't have much choice."
"Sure, well I'll just take what you take."
"Okay." Addison smiled and they entered the restaurant, soon being seated at a table and a waiter took their order.
"So how have you been really?"
"Tired, and sick."
"Aw." Naomi knew exactly what Addison was talking about. "Well maybe you could just work part time until you start your maternity leave?
Addison smiled. "It'll give me time to sort the nursery our and prepare myself, thanks Nae."
"Of course!" She nodded. "Have you thought about how you want to take your leave?"
"I want to spend as much time with this baby as possible."
"That's great, I'm sure you'll be a great mom Addison."
"Thanks, you'll be a great godmother."
"Thanks."
Addison just smiled back.

"Hey Mrs. Jackson."
"Hey Dr. Montgomery."
"How are you feeling today?"
"I'm great...morning sickness stopped so I can enjoy my pregnancy more." Mrs. Jackson replied. She was smiling but her voice didn't have a happy tone to it.
"That's good." Addison smiled and sat down.
"Yeah...I just wished my husband would be here with me, but yeah."
"What happened to him?" She asked carefully.
"He was a cop, and he died a few weeks before I found out about the baby. I wish he were with me now, but I know he'll never be, and that my baby will never have the father he or she deserves...you know?"
"Yeah..." Addison said sadly. "Every baby deserves to know their father." She was instantly filled with guilt for not telling Derek.
"Yeah! In some ways he's still here with me, but it's not the same." Mrs. Jackson told her sadly.
Yeah! In some ways he's still here with me, but it's not the same." Mrs. Jackson told her sadly.
Addison just nodded. "He'll always be with you..."
"Yeah. I wish he'd see the baby though, and I can't help that."
She just nodded again feeling the tears well up.
"Is something wrong Dr. Montgomery?" Mrs. Jackson asked, seeing Addison's tears.
"No, everything's fine." She smiled and got rid of her thoughts.
"Okay."
Addison nodded and set to work.
That night, Addison was sitting on her couch, absently watching some TV show. She couldn't forget what her patient had told her today. Her baby had a chance to know her father and she didn't even take it.
She let her hand gently rub her bump as she thought, then she froze, and then, she felt it again, her baby was kicking. Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks and she smiled widely. Maybe it was time to tell Derek...
