A/N: I'm not really getting much response anymore so I'm thinking that this will probably be the last story I post. Unless this fantastic idea hits me that everyone loves. Or maybe I'll post another pairing. I'm not sure. Anyway, enjoy.


Addison gave a tired murmur as she slowly began to stretch her body out the next morning. She could feel the warmth of another body close to her and blinked a few times to find Pete in bed next to her. She let her eyes close as she continued to rest her head on his chest. As she shifted a leg she could feel that it was rested between his and one of his arms was lying across her waist. A yawn escaped her lips and she snuggled further into his embrace as she tried to drift back off to sleep. The even movements of his chest raising and failing helped her body relax once more and she felt herself starting to drift off again.

An hour later, they were both woken by the shrill beeping of her alarm clock. She gave an annoyed groan and flung an arm over the side of the bed to hit the alarm off. Pete mumbled something and lifted a hand to rub his eyes. Addison buried her face into his chest as her body protested to wake up fully.

"What time is it?" he murmured and his arm tightened around her.

"Eight."

"Hmm." Pete gave a soft sigh and kept his eyes closed.

"Do you have to work?" she whispered into his chest.

"No patients until ten."

"Good," she murmured.

"Do you?"

"Later."

"Good." A tired smile appeared on his lips and he snuggled further into the covers. Addison gave a contented sigh and let her body relax into his. A silence settled over them and they enjoyed the feeling of being close but neither drifted fully off to sleep again.

"I need to eat," Addison murmured half an hour later but still made no attempt to move.

"What do you want?" Pete asked quietly.

"Pancakes."

"Hmm, okay." He gave a nod and opened his eyes before he slowly began to sit up.

"With raisins and syrup."

"I know." Pete pulled his arm out from underneath her before he shifted to the edge of the bed and got up. Addison curled up in his absence in the bed and kept her eyes closed.

Twenty minutes later, Addison gave a yawn and stretched her body out before she padded her way down into the kitchen.

"Just in time." Pete placed a plate on the table as she walked in.

"Smells gorgeous." She slid into a chair and began to eat.

"I'm glad." He sat down across from her. Addison smiled happily and reached for her glass of water for a sip. "Does our baby like my pancakes?" Pete asked as he watched her.

"Baby loves your pancakes." She nodded. Pete smiled softly and took a sip of his own glass. "Oh!" Addison dropped her knife and fork and her hands flew to her small bump that had appeared recently.

"What?" His face fell as he looked over at her.

"I think the baby just moved," she whispered and looked up at him with wide eyes.

"Really?" Pete instantly moved to her side and looked at her expectantly.

"Yes, feel." She took hold of his hand and put it on her stomach. He looked down at their joined hands before he felt the movement himself and his eyes shot up to meet hers. Addison grinned. "Our baby," she whispered.

"It's amazing." Pete couldn't believe that what he felt was actually his own child moving.

"We created that moving life in there."

He smiled softly at her words and linked their fingers together.

"Just think in five months time we'll be able to hold that tiny life."

"I can't wait," Pete spoke quietly. "I really can't. It's just so amazing to finally feel them."

"I know." Addison grinned happily. "I never thought I'd get to feel my baby move."

"I'm so glad you did." He smiled and reached his other hand up to touch her cheek before he leaned forward to place a kiss there. She turned her head so that the kiss landed on her lips and she wrapped an arm around his neck. Pete closed his eyes and tenderly kissed her, his fingers softly caressing her cheek.

"Our baby," she whispered.

"Our baby." He smiled softly. "I can't believe it."

"Amazing, isn't it? We're going to be parents." Addison grinned happily.

"It's amazing how much you can love someone who hasn't even been born yet." Pete smiled as he looked down at his hand on her small bump.

"I know. I never realised this is how it feels to be pregnant." She looked down at their hands on her bump.

"You know I'd do anything, right?" He watched her. "For you and this baby."

Addison looked up at his face and cupped his cheek. "I know," she whispered. "I know." Pete gave her a small smile before he turned his head and placed a kiss on her hand. "Thank you so much, Pete," she whispered. "Really."

"You don't have to thank me for anything."

"Oh, but I do." She nodded. "I'll never be able to thank you enough."

"Doing this with you was the best decision of my life."

"Really?" Addison whispered and looked into his eyes.

"Really." Pete nodded. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat." She smiled softly and leaned up to kiss him. He closed his eyes as their lips met and he reached out to place his free hand on her side.

"Thank you," she whispered again.

"You're welcome."

"Do you want a boy or a girl?"

"I don't know. I don't mind either way. A little girl with your hair would be adorable though." Pete smiled softly. "But a boy I could teach all the manly things."

"I want one of each," she admitted. "I've always wanted one of each."

"One of each would be perfect," he agreed.

"It would, but it won't happen." She sighed sadly.

"But we've got this one." Pete softly caressed her bump. "It's our miracle."

"We do," she agreed. "Our miracle."

"Concentrate on that." He brushed some hair behind her ear before he placed another soft kiss on her lips.

"I will." She nodded.

"Shall we get ready for work?"

Addison nodded. "Let me just finish my pancakes and then I'll jump in the shower."


That night Naomi was over at Addison's place for a girl's night. They had ordered Pizza and rented a few movies but didn't really pay attention to the TV anyway. Addison was partly sprawled out over her couch with a hand resting on her stomach.

"I'm so full, I feel like I'm pregnant." Naomi leaned back into the couch as she looked over at her friend.

"Same." Addison briefly closed her eyes before she opened them again. "Wait, I am pregnant." She grinned.

"You are." Naomi smirked. "And you're starting to show."

"I know." Addison's grin grew. "I actually can't fit into some of my clothes anymore."

"Hmm, feels great, doesn't it?"

"It really does," she agreed. "I still find it hard to believe that I'm finally pregnant."

"I know." Naomi smiled softly. "It's amazing. In about five months time you'll be a mummy."

"Scary isn't it?"

"A little. But you'll be fine with Pete."

"You know, he told me he'd do anything for me and this baby this morning."

"He did?" Naomi looked over at her friend. "Of course he would."

"He did." Addison nodded. "He also said he wouldn't have a baby with anyone else."

Naomi's lips curved into a soft smile at her friends words. "No, he chose to have a baby with you."

"We decided together."

"You did, you chose to have one together. He cares a lot about you, you know."

"You think?" Addison turned her head and looked at Naomi.

"Of course he does, Addi. I don't think you have any idea how much."

"We're just friends having a baby together." She shrugged.

"That's all?" Naomi looked at her.

"Yes. What else would we be?"

"You're more than just friends," she stated matter of fact.

Addison frowned at her friend and shifted her position. "What do you mean?"

"What if Pete met another woman? What if he started a relationship with someone else?" Naomi looked back at her.

Addison's body tensed slightly. "Then he met someone else." She shrugged.

"You wouldn't mind one bit?"

"It's not my business is it unless it affects his relationship with the baby?" Addison placed both her hands on her stomach and looked down at them.

"That wasn't my question, though."

"What does it matter if I mind or not?" she asked and refused to meet her friend's gaze.

"It changes everything." Naomi watched her best friend.

"Why does it?"

"Because you care about Pete, not just because he's the father of your baby."

Addison watched her hands as she slowly drew circles on her small bump and didn't say anything.

"I'm just saying." Naomi shrugged. "Just because you two can't see it, doesn't mean everyone else can't."

"See what?" Addison frowned and looked up at her friend. "There's nothing to see."

"Oh really?" She raised an eyebrow. "Remember that one time Pete thought you were flirting with a patient in the practice?"

Addison's frown deepened. "What time?"

"You talked to a patient and Pete thought he was trying to pick you up," Naomi tried to remind her. "Anyway, you should have seen his face. I've never seen Pete jealous before but I swear if I hadn't walked up to him I think he would have knocked the guy out."

Addison looked at her friend before back down at her bump again.

"Anyway." Naomi gave a small shrug. "I'm just saying."

"Yeah." She nodded.

"Are you tired or shall I put in another movie?"

"Another movie is good." Addison nodded. Naomi nodded as well and got up to change DVDs.
