I don´t own anything!!!

Chapter 3

A few weeks passed and Addison was househunting. She wanted her baby to grow up in a nice area with a big garden. Derek promised to help and found something great. She has had her second appointment 4 weeks ago and the baby seemed healthy. She was now 13 weeks along.

"Hey Adds" he greeted her as he walked into her office.

"Hey" she gave him a small smile.

"I found something you might like. It`s a great place to live, especially for children" he told her.

"Yeah? Tell me more" she was a little happier now. She hasn`t found a house she liked yet and she really had to hurry as she wanted to be completely ready and settled when the baby is born. She couldn`t live in a hotel anymore, not with a baby on the way.

"Yeah. It´s near my land. The house was build in 1900 and it was fully renovated 2 years ago. It has an enormous garden and a little pool. I know you`ll like it. It`s big! It has 5 bedrooms and a big walk-in closet. We meet the realtor at 7 pm today if that´s okay for you" he told her.

"Yeah it`s okay. But what am I supposed to do with 5 bedrooms? I mean it will be me and the baby" she said thoughtfully.

"Yeah that would make two bedrooms. Than I`m going to need a room" she cut him of and asked " Why the h** do you need a room in my house for?" She asked not knowing why he wanted a room in her house.

"You`ll need help when the baby is born. And I don`t want to sleep on the couch." He replied teasing her a little.

"What about the guestroom? You can sleep in the guestroom" she replied with hoisted eyebrows.

"No I can`t! What about when you`ll have visitors? Where would they sleep when I`m in the guestroom?" he asked trying to convice her that he would need a room in her new house.

"You will sleep in your trailer or at Merediths when I have guests" she answer smiling smart-aleck.

"It doesn't matter cause you`ll like the house. I know you too well! You will buy it and I will have my own room so I can help when the baby is born or you need a babysitter" he told her now trying to sound smart-aleck.

"Fine. My shift ends at 5. I come to the trailer at 6:30 if it`s okay" she told him.

"Sure it`s fine with me" he answerd and left her office with a quick peek on her light curved stomach. A stranger would never think that Addison`s pregnant but he knew her to well.

Like Addison said, she arrived at 6:30 at Dereks trailer and about 20 minutes later they arrived at the house. Addison looked at the house with big eyes.

"Seriously Derek? That`s the house?" she asked fascinated by the sight of the house.

"Seriously Addie. I knew you`d like it. Come on, the door is already open" he told her and led her into the house. He had a big smile over his face.

"Mr. Shepherd? I`m Emily Bishop" she greeted the couple.

"Hello Mrs. Bishop. This is Addison Montgomery. She is interested in buying this house" Derek explained.

"It`s nice to meet you Mrs. Montgomery. You can examine the house and if you have any questions just ask" Mrs. Bishop told them.

"Okay, thanks Mrs. Bishop" Addison replied with a smile on her face.

"So what do you say Adds?" Derek asked after they examined every room twice.

"It`s beautiful Derek, but honestly what am I going to do with such a big house?" she asked him again.

"Come on Adds. You need a bedroom and the baby needs a nursary. Then there would be my room and a guestroom. And you could use the fifth bedroom for a playroom or something like that" he told her trying to convince her to buy it.

"All right, lets go outside. I want to see the garden and the pool" she smiled at him. She really liked that house. It was exactly how she imagined it. It has high walls and big windows. There was a fireplace in the livingroom and she really liked the walk-in closet. She would have enough space for her whole wardrobe.

"Oh my god. Derek look at this. This is so beautiful" Addison was fascinated. She hadn`t expected a garden like this. The land was enormous. There wasn`t just a pool, she could see the ocean. There even was a big treehouse her child could play in one day.

"This is so perfect. I think I want to live here. It would be a great place to grow up, wouldn`t it?" she asked just to make sure Derek agreed.

"It`s perfect Addie. Just perfect" he answer her and took her into his arms to make her feel safe.
