First of all, I know this is kinda far-fetched maybe, and I promise this will be a Seddie Fic, just bare with me here.

Chapter 1: The Decision
24 year old Freddie Benson lay sprawled out on his bed for the fourth night in a row, barely conscious, empty bottles of alcohol and other things scattered around him.
He lifted his head up slightly off the bed to glance at the clock "3 in the morning? Ugh-"
He dropped his head back down onto the pillow and closed his eyes with a sigh, in all honesty he wasn't sure how he'd ever let his problem get this bad. An alcoholic was the last thing he thought he'd ever be. He knew he needed to do something and he knew he needed to do it now, he'd already lost everything important to him and nothing was ever going to change if he didn't take that first step.
He woke the next morning and jumped into the shower, thinking carefully about what he was going to do.
As he dried off he looked in the mirror and barely recognized who he saw looking back. His hair had grown longer then it should have, he was skinnier then he could ever remember being and his eyes, the ones that used to be so full of life, were dark and haunted.
He shook his head in disgust and threw some clothes on, walking out of his house and catching the bus downtown. As he sat there a small smile made it's way across his face and he nodded his head once, to re-assure himself he was making the right choice.
He jumped off the bus in front of a small, quiet building and pulled out his phone, calling one feisty blonde by the name of Sam Puckett.
"What do you want?" She demanded after a few rings.
Freddie sighed, knowing she wasn't going to like what he was going to say "I can't take Ayden on the week-ends for the next few weeks."
It was quiet on the other end of the line "WHAT? Why not? You know how much he loves seeing you on the week-ends."
"Yes Sam, I know. I love seeing him too, it's going to kill me to not see him but I can't." He sighed again "I know your opinion of me isn't the best right now, but you loved me once and you trusted me, remember that and just trust me now that this is for the best ok?"
"Fine. Call me when you CAN come see your son." With that the line went dead.
4 years ago Freddie and Sam had started dating, much to the joy of their other best friend Carly Shay, and things progressed easily for them from a relationship into a friendship.
About a year after they got together, Sam found out she was pregnant and 9 months later Ayden Xavier Benson was born. Things were great for two years until Freddie got into a car accident, which killed an innocent person and the guilt started taking a toll on him and he turned to alcohol, eventually losing both Sam and Ayden, as well as everyone else due to the addiction he had.
But now he wanted to make everything right, which brought him to the building he was currently standing in front of.
He took a deep breath and walked through the doors, stopping in front of the reception desk where the nurse smiled at him "Hello there, welcome to Seattle Rehab Center, how can I help you?"
Freddie smiled at her "I'd like to sign up for rehab."
The nurse smiled warmly at him and nodded "When would you like to start?"
He looked around and shrugged "Now."
She nodded and dug through some papers "Ok, you just have to fill these papers out and then one of our support staff will meet with you so we can give you the best care and help we can."
Freddie nodded and took the papers, turning to go sit and fill them out when the nurse spoke again "And sir?"
He turned around to look at her and she smiled "Congratulations on taking the first step to getting better by yourself, it's not easy."
He gave her a half-smile and nodded, sitting down in the first empty chair "Thank you."
I know, might not be the best start, but I'm working on it. It will jump between the rehab place and other areas, but it shouldn't be too confusing. Review and let me know what you all think
