AU: if christopher had been healthy
"And he's okay?" Amelia asked Addison.
"Perfectly fine." Addison smiled brightly, she had been concerned about this appointment especially since she had waited so long for an ultrasound.
"Good." Amelia let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding in. "And your sure? I didn't wait too long and the drugs didn't mess him up?"
"I promise, there seems to be no abnormalities on the ultrasound." Addison assured, grabbing the neurosurgeons hand in a sign of comfort.
"Thank you Addie."
"Yep, just keep taking care of yourself." Amelia nodded in agreement, excited for the impending arrival of her son.

"Amelia? What are you doing?" Addison asked as she stepped into her room.
"Umm, I'm moving out." Amelia nervously said, she didn't want the latter finding out by her packing away her stuff in boxes.
"What? Why?" The OB asked as she walked over to a box observing the contents.
"I love you Addie and I appreciate you so much for everything you've done but for my sobriety I need to do this on my own." Amelia stated, as she rubbed her growing bump. "I've already got an apartment near the practice, it's going to be okay."
"When we're you planning on telling me this?"
"I honestly was gonna wait until I moved in."
"I don't like this." Addison crossed her arms across her chest.
"It's going to be just fine. I need to do this on my own." Amelia smiled reassuringly.
"Okay, you always have a home here though."
"Thank you."

Addison set down the last box onto the floor of the apartment floor. "That's the last of it."
"Yep." Amelia smiled turning around to look at her sister, this was the first time she was truly living on her own. In college, internship and residency she always had roommates. Even when she lived in LA she roomed with her ex sister-in-law. She pulled the OB into a hug, and whispered thank you.
"Well I have surgery, don't be picking up any of these boxes, I don't want you overexerting yourself before your due date. Wait till someone comes to help you."
"Stop worrying Addie." Amelia chuckled before she shut the door behind the woman. She sat herself down on the couch, and looked around at the empty apartment filled with boxes. She laid herself down length ways and waited until Charlotte came to help her unpack.

"Derek?" Addison asked shocked when she saw her ex husband on the surgical floor. "What are you doing here?"
"Operating with Sam."
"Oh, wow okay Sam didn't mention it, I have to go scrub in."
"Nice seeing you." Derek called out and Addison smiled as she walked away. Once she got into her ORs scrub room, she tried to contain her nervousness. She knew Amelia didn't tell her family about her pregnancy and she wasn't ready to do so yet.
After a successful surgery she made her way into the attendings lounge to find Sam and Derek laughing. It brought her back to their med school days and their residency.
"How's your surgery go?" Addison asked the two men in the room.
"It was good, I miss operating with this guy." Sam said whilst smiling. Addison nodded as she awkwardly stood off to the side. "You okay Addison? You seem off."
