-time skip 3 months-
ADDISON:
It's been 3 months since that match and I never heard from Declan, he took some time off of Chelsea. They just said it was emergency leave.
I'm now 24 weeks pregnant, I've got a growing bump, Teddy is now 15 months old. His birthday and Christmas was amazing.
Today we have my gender reveal, I didn't want to do it but the lads insisted. I text Declan letting him know and telling him he's welcome to come. The same thing I did for his birthday and Christmas. I've gone silent on social media as the hate was too much.
It's now 4pm and everyone's here, we're all talking then the bell rings, I stand up to get it, as I open the door I see Declan the other side with flowers. "You came" I say in shock. "I saw your text and thought it would be a good time to come and explain" I let him in then say "what explain why you went silent on me and your son for 3 months. Why I've had 3 months of Teddy asking where daddy is? You missed his first steps, he walks now, he's still wobbly but walks" my tone is not relaxed by the end of it. He looks withdrawn, "where were you? I know you took the last 3 months off from football" he looks at me "I was  in a psychiatric hospital" my jaw drops, "what?Why?" I say. "I went through a mental breakdown and after seeing you at the match and getting what felt like closure I realised that none of this was me. I'd lost you and my head couldn't take it, once I went in there, they told me that I was experiencing a mental breakdown and because I'd ignored it, they caused the change in personality and behaviour. I've got tablets and see a therapist. I was in there for pretty much the three months and I chose no contact so I could heal" he says and my mind is blown, there's tears running down my face. I go to hug him but I'm interrupted by Mason "I overheard what you said I'm sorry" he hugs him then looks at me. "Sorry I'll give you two a minute" he says and goes back into  the front room shutting the door, i then reach up and hug him, he hugs me back and I think he needed this. "I'm so proud of you Decsy" I whisper in his ear which makes him smile and hug me more. I pull his hand "there's someone who wants to see you" just as I go to walk I stop still, he looks at me worried but before he can say anything I place his hand on my belly, he feels the baby kick and he grins "it's just as magical as with Teddy" I smile and walk into the front room, where Teddy's eyes light up as Dec scoops him up into a cuddle, soon Declan is sitting telling the boys all about the last 3 months and apologising. I walk to the kitchen, soon I'm joined by Mase, "it's a lot to take in isn't it sis" I nod "I feel so bad why didn't I notice or get him help" I say crying. "He's here now and he's had help and still getting it. Surely that's a positive. Let's go find out gender of bump here.
We all head out to the garden and there's a big cardboard box saying 'it's a...' in on the front of it everyone crowds around. I notice Dec standing at the back so i bring him up to the box. "You're the dad. You should be here" he smiles. As we open the box lots of pink balloons fly out. "We've got a girl" I say to Declan as I hug him. "She'll be beautiful like her mummy" the comment makes me blush. We all carry on celebrating but indoors as it's not very warm in February.

Declanrice: I'm having a baby girl in like 3 months💖💖
Thank you Addison, for letting me be there today. I know you didn't have to let me in, as I don't deserve it💖 I can't believe our Teddy is going to have a little sister 💖
To all my fans, stop all hate toward Addi, I will explain everything to you all in time but I'm the one in the wrong, Addison never has been, the articles were all lies. She is a amazing and beautiful woman who has a heart of gold.
Addison_M-R: I'm glad you came. It was good to see you again. Only explain it all if you want to, and only when you're ready.
Thank you for the flowers.

Seeing Dec again today and talking to him, has made me so confused. It's now 10pm I'm in the front room staring at a wedding photo of ours. Im in my own thoughts when I hear. "Did you want to talk Sis" I look up and Mason is sitting next to me. "It was a perfect day, one of the best of my life. How did it all get so messy?" I say and Mason squeezes me tight "all relationships have bumps, yours may seem like a mountain right now but if you try hard enough you can climb any mountain" I look to him confused. "What are you saying Mase?" He takes a deep breath "I'm not saying forgive him and go back to normal straight away, but you and him talking and playing with Teddy today is the happiest I've seen you in months. I'm saying you now know there was reason for it all and it doesn't take away all the hurt but maybe talk it through and try to start to move forward." I smile at him thinking about how happy today I was "I'll text him to see if he wants to talk." He smiles, "I'm going sleep now. I've got training late tomorrow, so I'll see you in the morning" he kisses my head and we say our good nights.
