Three chapters in a day! What? I'm kinda on a roll right now, so I might even have more up later, it just depends on how long I can keep this up. I've got a really good idea of everything that is going to happen now, so I think I'm going to start another story. But don't worry, I can do both. It's gonna be an NCIS story, about Tony having a daughter (I think I have an obsession of characters having kids, lol) so check it out when I post it and let me know if you like it.
As always, review please! And I would like to say that even though I have not said it in the previous chapters that I do not own Private Practice or Greys Anatomy. Read and review please!
A little while later Amelia pulled up outside Addison's house and quickly made her way inside. "Zoey?" she called, not seeing her niece anywhere. When she didn't get an answer she began to walk through the house looking for her. "Zoey where are you?" She walked into Addison's guest room that was currently serving as Zoeys room, where Amelia found Zoey laying on the bed in the dark, staring off into space.
"Zoey?"
"Hey Amy," she said sullenly, "Come in."
"Why are you lying in the dark?"
"What else am I supposed to do?"
"Get up, we are going somewhere or else you are just going to lay here until your mom comes home. And then she is gonna know that something is up. So get up, we are gonna go for a walk."
"A walk? Really?"
"Yes, let's go, now." Amelia managed to get Zoey out of bed and they made their way out to the beach. Amelia decided that the best way to get Zoey to talk about possibly being pregnant was to just be blunt, "So you think you're pregnant?"
"I think so," she sighed.
"Did you take a test?"
"I took like twenty, literally. I have never peed so much in one day. And seventeen of the twenty tests were positive. That's like an 85 percent chance that I am pregnant Amy!"
"Normally I would say that the tests can be wrong, but seventeen tests kind of guarantees it. Have you had any other symptoms?"
"I've been puking my guts out basically all day for a few weeks. Isn't it supposed to be morning sickness, not all day sickness?"
"Well, sometimes it lasts all day. What other symptoms have you had?"
"I haven't had my period this month, and I've been kinda of dizzy. I read some of mom's pregnancy books while she was at work, and I'm pretty sure."
"Ok, well, you definitely need to tell your mom Zoey."
"No way! Mom is going to freak when she finds out! I'm actually kind of surprised that she hasn't figured it out already. Isn't she like the best baby doctor in the world?"
"And that is exactly why you need to tell her. She can help you."
"No! I am not telling her and you better not tell her either! Or dad! Promise you won't tell!"
"I'm not going to promise that Zoey. If Addison asks me about it I am not going to lie to her. But I won't just go and tell her. You need to though. You can wait a little while, but no more than a week, and then you have to tell her. I don't care if she is going to get mad at you or yell at you, either you tell her by Thursday or I will."
"No you won't. You're not going to tell Amelia." Zoey said forcefully, trying to scare Amelia.
"You can't scare me into not telling you mom kid. You're not that scary." Zoey groaned and started to walk away, not wanting to fight with Amelia anymore. Amelia gave her a little time to calm down, and then walked over to where she had sat on the sand. She sat down next to her and put an arm around the younger girls shoulder, "It's gonna be ok Zo." Zoey didn't say anything, just leaned into the comforting hold of her aunt and cried.
The two of them sat there, staring out at the ocean, both of them crying. Zoey crying because she didn't know how to deal with being pregnant at 16 and Amelia crying for her niece who was still a kid, she didn't deserve this. After a while both had stopped crying,
"Let's go inside and get cleaned up." Amelia said, helping Zoey stand. They made their way inside.
"Amy?" Zoey asked hesitantly.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think, maybe, that you could possibly do an ultrasound for me? You know, to see if those seventeen tests were actually right? I know you know how to do it." Amelia looked at Zoey for a moment before she nodded,
"Your mom has lunch plans tomorrow, so you can come by then and we will do it while she is gone."
"You want to do it at the practice? But Sam and Naomi work there! What if they see me?"
"Relax. We will just tell them that you are visiting your favorite aunt because you want to see what she does for work."
"Amelia, you and my dad have almost the exact same job, I know what you do," Zoey said dully.
"Whatever, you were the one freaking out about what if someone saw you. I was just trying to come up with a solution."
"Ok, ok. So tomorrow. What time should I be there?"
"Get there around 1:30,"
"Ok. Since mom isn't home yet do you want to get dinner? We can order take out."
"Yeah sure, what do you want?" They ordered their food and sat on the couch watching TV and eating their dinner. They were watching some stupid lifetime movie when Addison came in.
"Are you seriously eating on my couch?" was the first thing she said. Zoey and Addison just nodded. "When have you ever been allowed to eat on the couch Zoey? We always eat at the table."
"Yeah, only when you and dad were actually home. Carly always let me eat on the couch, or in my room," she said, referring to the nanny she had as a child.
"What? Seriously? What about the no food anywhere but the kitchen or dining room rule?"
"We didn't listen to you."
"That is unbelievable."
"Mom, it was years ago. I haven't had a nanny since I was like ten."
"I don't care. Take your food to the table please." Zoey rolled her eyes, but followed Amelia to the table in the next room. Addison grabbed some of the extra food they had ordered and began to eat with them. "So how was your day?"
"Fine, me and Amy just hung out on the beach."
"You're gonna get cancer if you spend too much time out in the sun."
"Oh relax Addison, we weren't out there for that long, just long enough to darken up that Seattle skin. We just watched movies the rest of the day." They continued with their conversation and eventually Zoey grew tired,
"I'm going to bed, I'm exhausted." They all said their goodnights and Zoey went upstairs, Amelia leaving not long after that.
REVIEW!
