A/N: I suck, I know. I had a lot of things to do these days. I know, lame excuse.
I have been reading Addek for days now. It just feels strange to write Addison with Kevin.
"What do you think she's doing?" Addison mumbled, pressing her face on her husband's chest.
"I have no idea. But I also have no intention of getting up and find out before at least half past seven. It's Sunday and we're supposed to sleep."
"I think I am going to check on her." she tried to to sit up, but he wrapped his hands around her forearms and pulled her back to him.
"Kevin!"
"Kiss me good morning, love."
Addison laughed and pecked on his lips softly. "I love you."
"Love ya too." the man whispered, falling back to sleep.
Addison left the room silently, and she slowly walked down the stairs. Betsy had been up for hours, doing whatever she felt like doing in a very noisy way.
"Betsy, honey?" she asked, leaning on the jamb of the kitchen's door. The teenage girl was sitting at the table with a cup in one hand and the phone in the other. "Are you okay?"
"Mmm," she merely shrugged and went back to look at her phone. "I have my period and I feel awful so I couldn't sleep... I did some stuff. I tidied up my closet and cleaned my bedroom, then I watched TV and put on some music... Now I'm hungry. And I'm waiting for some girl named Chelsea to give me Cameron's number."
"I've been asking you to clean up your room for over a week." Addison smirked, sitting down next to Betsy. "Who's Cameron by the way?"
"No one." she shrugged again, but the woman could tell she knew her well enough to understand her fake-indifferent expression.
"Sure." she smiled. "What do you want to eat?"
"Hot cocoa." the teen showed her the cup. "Nothing better than it. I don't feel having anything else right now."
"Okay."
"Listen, can I borrow your credit card this afternoon? I kind of need new clothes."
"Well, if I give you my credit card I'll have to give you a limit on how much you can spend. But, we could go together. I'll pay for everything, no limits."
Addison smiled again, waiting for Betsy to agree. She wanted to spend time with her, she needed it. Lately the girl had been taking driving lesson from Kevin, and Addison still thought the girl liked him better than her – so she was trying to suggest everything that came to her mind to do something together.
"Fine, but just for an hour. I have to meet with some friends at six."
"Are you having dinner out?"
"I guess so."
"Shouldn't you ask us first?" Addison raised her eyebrow.
"Why?" Betsy teased. "You're not really-"
"Don't go there." she warned her. "We're not your parents, but you have to ask first. I have no problems with you having dinner out, but I want to know first."
The teen rolled her eyes. "I would have told you."
"I'm sorry, I meant to say that you have to ask. Okay?"
She rolled her eyes again. "Fine."
"Good. Now, who's Cameron?"
Betsy snorted.

"Do you think he recognized us?" Betsy whispered, glancing at the man.
"I don't know." Addison whispered back. "But we better be quick. He could seriously call the police this time."
"I want that." she pointed to a gray big bag on a shelf.
"I like that too." Addison said taking it.
"Oh. It costs a lot."
"No problem. Now, please let's get out of here. God, that was my favorite shop." the woman rolled her eyes as she walked to the pay desk.
"Sorry." Betsy giggled.
"Hey." Addison said when they got out. "Have you stolen again, since that time?"
"Nope."
"You sure?"
"Yes, Addison."
"Promise me you won't do it again."
"Addison."
"I'm serious here. If you do, I might very well ground you for the rest of your life."
"Of course." again, she rolled her eyes. "Can we go to Starbucks?"

"Oh my God." Betsy put down her napkin and widened her eyes.
"What?" the redhead turned toward where the girl was staring.
"It's Cameron!"
"Oh. Which one?"
"The blond one! Look, he's tall, he's wearing a white t-shirt..."
"Do you have a crush on him?" Addison blinked.
"I do not." Betsy said indignantly.
"Okay..."
"I do not!" she exclaimed. "Can we go now before he sees me?"
"Okay, I'll go pay." Addison stood up.
"I'll wait for you outside."

"I think Betsy likes a boy." Addison wrapped her arms around Kevin's waist. They were on their patio, staring at the black sky. There were no stars that night. Betsy had come home an hour earlier, and after a shower she claimed she was going to bed.
"What?"
"Oh, come on. It's cute. I saw him, and he looked her age... and also, not into drugs. So, if they date, we don't have much to worry."
"If they date," her husband pointed out, making Addison laugh.
"She's sixteen, she can date. I didn't like her ex-boyfriend and I wouldn't like this Cameron boy if I thought it was dangerous. But almost every girl her age has a crush on someone or dates a boy. Or has a boyfriend. It can't be worse than the twenty-six-year-old guy."
"Yeah, you're right. But I feel, you, know,-"
"Jealous?"
"Yes, that pretty much describes it."
"Don't worry, honey." she leaned in and kiss him. "She's alright."
"You know, Add... we should go somewhere. We never went on our honeymoon, and in five months it'll be a year since we officially adopted Betsy. We should really go on vacation... like in-"
"Europe. I'd love to go to Europe, Kevin."
A/N: This is important, so please read it. I've decided to write a 'missing moments' story. Basically, after I finish this I'll write a story in which I put all the scenes that I haven't written of in here. So, if you have suggestions you have to tell me, because I only have a few ideas. Like, I plan on writing Kevin's reaction to the party, since I know a lot of you wanted to know. I'll start it only when this story is over, though, so there is time. Let me now what you think!
