One year later

"Shh." Derek tried to quieten an excited Jessica who grinned and clapped her hands happily. "You'll wake everyone up."

"Yes!" She giggled and looked at him. Yes was her first word much to her parent's disappointment when they wanted it to be mommy or daddy. "Yes!" Jessica bounced in her cot and held her arms out for her father who chuckled and picked her up.

"Let's go see mommy then."

Jessica grinned widely and nestled her head against her father's chest. As she had grown she had become more of a cuddly person, and would snuggle up with her parents, or any of her family at any chance she got. Derek carried her back to the room that had become Addison's over the past year and a half in Nicola's house and Jessica squealed with delight at seeing her mother.

Addison stirred and slowly opened her eyes, blinking a few times before smiling, holding her arms out for her thirteen month old daughter as Derek neared the bed. Jessica snuggled down under the covers with her mother who pulled her close and placed a kiss on the top of her head.

"Good morning, baby." Addison cuddled Jessica.

Derek climbed back into bed and pulled his girls close. "Think she'll sleep again now?"

"Hmm, I hope so." Addison smiled and kissed Derek on the lips before closing her eyes again. Derek grinned and kissed Jessica on the head as well before she yawned and closed her eyes.

They all laughed as Jessica sat throwing the wrapping paper over her. She giggled and clapped her hands excitedly, more interested in the wrapping paper then her actual presents. Derek got the video camera out and videoed her, wanting to capture it forever.

While Addison and Derek were wrapped up in Jessica, Nicola pulled out another present she had been hiding and pushed it into her husband's hands. When Jessica was about six months old, Nicola and Jamie got married. Addison had been a bridesmaid and the wedding was beautiful. Nicola and Jamie couldn't be happier and looked at Derek, Addison and Jessica as family.

"What's this?" Jamie looked at the present before back at his wife.

"Just open it." She smiled and urged. Carefully he began to pull the wrapping paper off, opening the box to reveal a white stick in there. His eyes widened and he just stared at it, before looking up at Nicola. "Is…is it true?"

She just grinned and nodded. "Yes, I'm pregnant."

Jamie grinned and kissed her, pulling her close before resting a hand on her stomach.

They pulled back and Jamie turned to Addison and Derek. "Did you hear that? I'm going to be a daddy!" He wore a stupid grin and held his wife close, his hand resting where their baby lay.

"Congratulations, Nikki." Addison smiled and hugged her friend while Derek congratulated Jamie.

"I can't believe it. I didn't think it would happen so fast." Nicola smiled widely.

"It's amazing. You'll be a great mom." Addison smiled at her friend, happy for her

"Thanks, Ads."

Nicola grinned and tickled Jessica's sides making the little girl squeal with laughter and wriggle on the couch. Jamie smiled and watched from the doorway, not being able to wait to hold his baby. Addison came down the stairs with a bag and placed it on the floor by the front door and walked into the living room.

"Come on, Jess, say bye-bye to Auntie Nikki." Addison smiled as Jessica hugged Nicola and gave her a little kiss, something she had picked up lately. Addison held her arms out for her daughter and placed her on her hip and walked towards the buggy, before securely strapping Jessica in.

Jamie pulled his wife close as Derek pushed the buggy out of the door and Addison linked her arm through his, waving at Nicola and Jamie as they walked down the street towards Derek's.

"I can't wait until we can hold our baby." Jamie grinned down at Nicola and pecked her lips quickly. "How far are you?"

"I think I'm about two months, I need to check with a doctor first."

"Okay, I want to be there, I want to be there for all of it."

"Good, because I wasn't planning on having you anywhere else." Nicola grinned and kissed him again.

"Jess! Jess!" Emily grinned and watched as her niece toddled over to her on shaky legs. Jessica was still getting the hang of walking. "Yay!" Emily pulled her into her arms and hugged her close. "You're getting good at that you know."

Derek smiled and watched from the doorway, he loved watching his sisters and Addison with Jessica, it just made him grin widely. He felt two arms snake around his waist and a kiss was dropped on his shoulder. Derek turned and wrapped his arms around Addison.

"Hey, babe." He kissed her forehead.

"Jess with Emily?"

"Yeah. Em's amused at her walking skill." He smiled.

"Okay," Addison looked up at him and smiled. "Why don't we go upstairs for a while?" She suggested.

"And what do you suggest we do up there?" Derek grinned and they walked towards the stairs.

"I can think of a lot of things." She smiled and ran up the stairs to Derek's room, him close behind.

----

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Derek looked at Addison as they walked down the street.

"Yes, I'm sure. I said we'd go see them. We're not staying long, and we can leave if we want to." She shifted Jessica on her hip slightly and watched as she reached her tiny hands out trying to catch the snow that was falling.

"Okay." He nodded reluctantly and they carried on walking towards Addison's father's house, where they were going to have dinner with both her parents.

They reached the house and knocked on the door, it being opened shortly with Peter stood there. He smiled and let them walk into the hallway.

"It's good to see you, Ads."

Addison smiled at her father. "It's good to see you too. Where's mom?"

"I'm here." Joanna appeared and smiled at her daughter. "This is Jessica?"

It had taken a few months after Jessica was born for Joanna to realise that she hadn't treated Addison the best and she wanted to make up for it. But Addison had wanted nothing to do with her and they didn't talk for months, even though Joanna kept trying. Addison had ignored her parents until just after Nicola and Jamie had gotten married. She had spoken and saw them briefly in the street, but they hadn't spent longer than ten minutes with each other or talking, so it was a big step for them to have dinner together.

"Yes,. Addison smiled proudly and nodded while Derek stood behind her with a hand on her lower back protectively. "Our little pride and joy." She kissed Jessica's forehead.

"She's beautiful. She looks a lot like you." Joanna smiled at Jessica who buried her head into her mother's shoulder.

"Yeah, you made the right choice, Ads." Peter gazed at his granddaughter. It was the first time either him or Joanna had seen Jessica. They saw her briefly after she was born, but they hadn't seen her since and it upset them that they had missed out on things.

"I'm sorry for how we treated you, we shouldn't have. I regret what I did and said, and I am really sorry, Addison. I want us to start afresh, build a proper relationship." Joanna smiled slightly, while Addison just looked at her.

"Okay." Addison nodded. "We'll try, but Jess comes first now, and I'm not going to do anything that's going to upset her, and I won't let you upset her." Addison looked at both her parents who both nodded and agreed. Things were getting better for everyone.
