Chapter 6:
A few weeks later, Derek knocked on Addison door. Today was the day he would find out if they were having a boy or a girl. He was really excited and he couldn't wait to find out.
Addison opened the door and smiled at him. "Hey."
"Hey." He smiled. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah, just let me finish my cup of tea."
"Sure." He stepped into the house. "Are you sure you don't want to find out if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Yes." She nodded her head as she walked back into the kitchen.
"So um...I mean won't you see it?"
Addison shrugged as she picked up her cup again.
"Okay..."
She finished her cup of tea and smiled at him.
"Ready?" He grinned.
"Yep." She grinned back.
"Good." He smiled. "I'm sorry if I'm weird, I'm just really excited about this."
"I can tell."
They got into his car and Derek drove them to the clinic. They checked in and sat in the waiting room.
Addison sat with her hands resting on her bump.
"Who knew we'd sit here, together, one day." Derek chuckled.
"I always hoped we would." She smiled.
He grinned. "Really?"
"Yeah, I always wanted kids with you Derek."
"Me too." He nodded. "I wish we would have noticed sooner though. Before...well yeah."
Addison just nodded quietly
"Montgomery?" The doctor called from the hallway.
Addison stood up and walked towards the doctor
The doctor smiled at them and opened the door for them to enter the office. "So how are you Addison?"
:
"I'm good thank you." She smiled politely.
"Do you still have morning sickness?" He asked, getting everything ready to the examination.
"No." She shook her head.
"Good. So do you want to find out the sex of the baby today?"
"Derek does, but I don't."
"Okay." He smiled. "I'll tell you to turn your head when it's time then?"
"Okay thank you."
"Well this might be a little cold..." He put some gel on her stomach.
Addison nodded as she felt the cold gel hit her warm bump.
The doctor examined everything he could see on the screen. "So everything looks good..."
"Good." Addison smiled.
"So Derek, are you ready to find out?"
"Of course." He replied, excited as hell to know.
"Turn your head Addison?"
Addison turned her head so she was looking at Derek.
Derek took hold of her hand and looked at the doctor.
Dr. Brown took a quick look and wrote it on a piece of paper, for Derek to see. Derek smiled, it was a girl.
Addison just watched Derek's face light up and she smiled.
"Thanks for letting me find out Addison." He grinned.
"It's your baby as well."
He nodded proudly.
Addison smiled at him.
"So everything looks fine with your baby." He gave Addison a cloth to wash her belly. "Do you have any questions?" He smiled.
"No." She shook her head.
"You Derek?"
Addison looked at him as she sat up.
"Nope." Well he did have one, but he could always ask Addison.
Addison smiled at him and turned to the doctor.
"Good." He wrote a few things on the chart. "I guess I'll see you in four weeks then."
"Okay, thank you." Addison got off the exam table and her and Derek walked towards the door
They got out and exited the clinic. "What do you want to do now?"
"I don't mind." She smiled.
"Do you have the day off?"
"Yep, you?"
"Me too, Charlotte has been really nice recently."
"Really?" Addison looked at him surprised
He nodded. "I know, it's kind of weird considering it's her."
"Yeah." Addison nodded at him.
"So this whole thing made me in the mood to go baby shopping, are you up for it?"
"Sure." She grinned. "I'd love to."
He grinned. "Okay then." He drove them to the nearest baby shop.
Addison smiled and they walked inside.
"Wow." He smiled. "Everything looks so pretty here."
"I know." She ran her fingers over some baby clothes.
"Have you decided which room you'll turn into the baby's room?" He asked looking at everything.
"Yes, the one next to mine."
"Good idea." He told her.
"Yeah." She smiled.
"What color would you like to paint it?"
"Well it'll have to be something for both a boy and a girl."
He smirked. "Yup."
"Maybe like a cream or a soft yellow."
"Yellow."
"Okay." Addison smiled a him.
"Wow." He grinned. "I never thought you'd take my advice concerning stuff like that."
"I didn't say you get to pick the shade."
He rolled his eyes smiling. "I thought so."
Addison just smirked at him as she picked up a baby grow.
"Cute."
"I know,"
"Mhm, you know if you pick the color today I could help you paint the room."
"Okay, that would be nice."
He nodded. "Yeah."
"Shall we go get the paint today then?"
"Yeah, do you want furniture too?"
"Well it needs to be painted first but I have found some I like."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah." She smiled.
"Which?"
"I've already ordered it."
He nodded. "Okay."
Addison smiled back at him.
About two hours later, they were back home, with the paint and a few accessories.
Addison smiled as she ran a hand over her bump and watched Derek paint.
Derek applied the paint on the walls; it was a soft baby yellow, a very peaceful color.
She leaned back against a wall that hadn't been painted.
"Are you sure you don't want to sit down?" He asked worried.
"I'm fine." She smiled.
"Okay, if you're sure."
"I am."
"So I was thinking we could add a few clouds somewhere near the crib will be." He told her.
"Yeah, that sounds good."
"Okay." He smiled.
:
"Derek." She looked at him.
"Yeah?" He replied, careful not to put paint on the floor.
"Don't leave."
"Hu?" He asked not getting it. "I didn't say I was leaving?"
"Don't leave here, don't go home, move in with me. Move in with me and the baby." Addison bit her lip and looked at him.
Derek's eyes widened. "Really?"
Addison nodded. "Yes, move in."
He smiled. "Of course!"
:
"Good." She grinned.
"Oh my God, thank you so much!" He walked towards her and took her in a tight hug.
Addison wrapped her arms around him.
He kissed her cheek. "Wow...I can't believe you asked me."
"Why not?"
"I don't know, but I know that I'm really happy I'll get to spend everyday with you and the baby."
:
"Good." she smiled at him.
"Yeah." He smiled back. "So when?"
Addison shrugged. "When do you want to move in?"
"Well I have to renew my hotel reservation in two weeks so, would that be okay?"
"Sure." She smiled.
He nodded. "Okay, can you move a little? I need to paint that wall you're on."
Addison laughed and pecked his lips. "Sorry."
"Sure." He smiled. "Hey uh...I have a question."
"Yeah?"
"What does this mean?"
Addison looked up at him. "That we're together."
He grinned. "I was hoping so."
Addison just smiled back. They were together, and for now it was all that mattered.
