AN: So, I'm back! As always, I'm sorry for not updating like I used to...work always has me busy and I only ever have two days off when I do and I always use those days to do other things! I could promise to start updating more often but if I don't, I don't want to promise that...but, I will update as soon as I possibly can. As you guys may know, Kate Walsh is on a show called Fargo right now on FX, she was only in the first and third episode so far, but, it's worth watching! It's an okay show, I guess, but I'm only watching it for Kate. Lol. And KaDee's supposed to be in a show called Secrets & Lies on ABC but I don't know if it's actually picked up yet or when it'll air, but I'll keep a lookout for it! I also swear nothing bad is going to happen anymore in this story...unless I plan a sequel, but, I plan on finishing this story first before planning another one! Haha. So, here's Chapter 23! Enjoy! :)
Chapter 23:
Two Weeks Later:
Addison's POV:
"So, she's ready to go?" I ask the head nurse with a happy smile, as I sign the discharge papers for Charlotte! It's been two weeks since the shooting happened...and it still feels like yesterday that it happened, the day I almost lost her forever. Since then, I've been savoring every little moment with her, although I know she's perfectly fine now...well, maybe not perfectly fine, but in my eyes, she'll always be perfect! The nurse nods her head and I let out a sigh of relief. "Good, thank you!"
With that, I turn and head back to Charlotte's room, so I can give her the wonderful news! I walk in and close the door behind me when I get there, noticing my tiny blonde woman sitting in bed, messing around with the TV remote. "Is this seriously all the damn channels we have in this hospital? I have to change that." I snort a bit, because she's so involved with that, that she doesn't even notice me standing there...until I snort, that is. "Hey, what's that for?"
"Do you have to look adorable at everything that you do?" I ask her seriously, but with a playful smile.
Charlotte grins slowly. "I was hopin' that I look evil and intimidatin' with everything that I do, but...I guess I can be adorable for you...only you, though!"
"The secret's safe with me, Dr. King..." I smile at her innocently, as I walk over to her hospital bed and sit down next to her, kissing her firmly on the lips as I do.
"Mhm..." The blonde moans softly against my lips, but she slowly pulls back after a while...because I think the fact that we can't really do much of anything together sexually frustrates her...and it frustrates me, too...but, I can deal with it! "So...what did they say?"
"You're allowed to go home...right now..." I answer her excitedly, planting a kiss on her forehead.
"Right now...? You're serious?" When I nod, she cackles happily. "Good, get me outta here! I can't believe I'm sayin' this, but I'm sick of this place!"
"Oh darling, I know..." I stare into her beautiful green eyes. "You'll want to be back here before you know it, though." For work purposes, of course!
"You know me too well..." She snorts a bit, before carefully getting out of bed. I'm standing up, being right there in case she needs me in any sort of way, and she's already dressed into casual clothing because the nurses helped her!
Charlotte gets a bit wobbly, so I throw an arm around her. "Hey...careful now..." I help her steady herself, as she slips a pair of flip flops on.
"I'm fine...I'm not gonna fall and break my ass now, on top of everything else..." Charlotte chimes in, and I can't help but laugh softly. "...What?"
"You have too much padding back there to break it..." I answer her innocently, and I get a swat on the ass. "Oooh." I give her a sultry smile.
"Violet's the one with the fat ass 'round here...not that I've ever stared at it..." Charlotte replies back slyly and I gasp a bit. "I haven't, I swear!"
I narrow my eyes at her playfully. "You are going to fall on your ass if you keep it up, woman..."
Charlotte smiles innocently, and I can't help but smile, as we start walking out of the hospital room, and I grab her little bag of items as we're exiting!
As we're slowly walking down the hallway, many people are looking at us...because they all know that we're together now, and as much as I was afraid of this moment before...I'm not now. I feel perfectly at ease...and Charlotte doesn't seem to be affected either.
"...Don't y'all have work to do? What are y'all standin' around for?" Charlotte yells out in her normal Chief of Staff voice, and most of the people skitter away and go back to what they were doing! No...Charlotte isn't affected by this at all! "And before they ask, no one's comin' over tonight...it's just gonna be you and me..." Charlotte whispers up into my ear the best she can, since I'm in heels, and she's so much shorter than me when she doesn't have heels on herself.
I smile at her lovingly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "I was planning on that."
I almost lost her...so, I want nothing but to be with the love of my life in private, like we're the only two people left in the entire world!
Charlotte's POV:
I let out a soft sigh, as I walk into the beach house I share with Addison, taking a look around. Everything looks the same... I feel something furry on my leg, and I grin softly when I see that it's Addison's cat, Milo! I hear Addison close the door behind us, as I slowly kneel down to pet him. I was never really a cat person until I got together with Addison...I don't know why!
Addison sets a hand on my shoulder, gently massaging my skin through my shirt, as I pet her little orange furry four legged child. "I missed you...surprisingly..." The little cat even meows at me, like he missed me too. "Aww...hehe..." I stand up slowly, Addison's hand still on my shoulder. I turn to look at her, and she's smiling at me. "Yes?"
"We both missed you so much..." Addison answers me truthfully, and I can see her crystal blue eyes twinkling a tiny bit...like she's going to cry!
"Darlin'...don't cry..." I already have my arms wrapped around her as tightly as I possibly can in this state, as my redhead begins to weep. I hate seeing her in pain...but I can't imagine what she must've gone through with what happened to me.
They still haven't even found the crazy bitch patient that did this to me...and her partner and their baby are actually fine now...like a miracle occured! I am pretty pissed, and when they find this girl...ooh...if I don't kill her myself...
Probably telling her not to cry wasn't a good idea, because that just makes her cry more. Shiiiiiiit. I shush her softly, and let her cry, her head buried in my neck as she does. "We're okay...we're gonna be okay..." I let out a shaky sigh myself. "I'll be okay too..." I move my face into her own neck, taking in her sweet smell, as a few tears sneak out of my eyes as well!
"I thought I lost you forever..." Addison makes out through a sob and it's like I can feel my heart break into two.
"I'm here, darlin'..." I whisper against her neck. "I'm never gonna leave you...I promise..."
Even while crying, Addison pulls back, smiling at me through all of the tears, and kisses me on the lips! I kiss her back hard...because I thought I lost her too, and I can't get over that feeling inside of me! I cup her face as I kiss her, and even when I'm done, I press gentle, feathery kisses to her lips.
"Let's go outside, darlin'..." I kiss her on the forehead, and grab one of her hands, leading her through the living room, past the kitchen and out onto the patio! Addison happily follows me and I kick off my flats before walking out into the sand, while Addison does the same with her heels! We walk over to our favorite patio chair that we have set out in the sand. I grin softly as Addison already lays down on it and waits for me to join her! I can't just plop down like I normally do, because of the huge ass wound on my chest, so I lay down next to her carefully. Addison wraps her arms around me and holds me close just as delicately, like I'm a fine piece of china.
I lay my head on her chest, listening to the lapping of waves and the seagulls in the distance...and also Addison's beautiful heartbeat...three things that seem to calm me down since I've been with the redhead!
I caress her side as I lay next to her, contemplating something that's been on my mind...something that will probably always been on my mind until it's over and done with.
"So...they haven't found the woman yet?" I go to say bitch...but, that's not really polite...well...not that I ever cared about bein' polite before...but I can't say I'm really myself since this happened...
"They're still looking for her...but, nothing yet..." Addison runs her fingers through my hair. "They're going to find her. I know they will, baby..."
I gulp softly, because knowing my wonderful luck, they'll never find the bitch. "I sure hope you're right..." I whisper to her, as I feel my eyelids starting to close.
It's surprising when I actually fall asleep, since it felt like I slept half of my life away at the hospital for the past two weeks...but, I do...and as much as I'm all shaken up inside about what happened and about how they can't find Natalie, I still can't help but feel at ease, because I fall asleep with the love of my life holding me, and that's one of the best things a person could ever ask for!
AN: Okay!
