"i don't understand why you're so scared" callie said with a soft laugh as she stood with addison in her kitchen, carson and sofia playing together in the living room "marilyn seems really nice"

"she is really nice, she always has been, but sam is her pride and joy and now so is carson and i kept that from her, she's really not going to be all sweetness and light when we're alone, i'm telling you callie"

"well you know how much i'll hate to say i told you so" callie smirked.

"you love saying i told you so" addison laughed "i guess i should go, just call me if anything happens"

"it won't"

"but if it does, if he gets a fever or feels sick, you won't be able to get hold of sam because he'll be in surgery so just call me…."

"addison" callie laughed "just give your very healthy happy son a kiss goodbye and go and have a lovely evening with your mother in law, ok?"

"ok" addison mumbled "you don't have to be so mean about it"

callie rolled her eyes and gave addison a tight hug.

"carson, mommy's going to meet grandma now" addison smiled as she walked over to him "be a good boy for aunt callie ok? i'll see you in the morning"

"promise, see you in the morning" carson smiled up at her, she kissed the top of his head and then sofia's.

"bye aunty addison" sofia smiled.

"bye honey, you be a good girl too"

"promise" she giggled mischievously.

"she is such a sloan" addison smirked to callie.

"and don't i know it" callie said with a laugh "you'll be fine addison" addison nodded a little with a sigh before letting herself out of the house.

~x~

"addison, you can talk to me you know, i'm not going to bite" marilyn said as she sat in an awkward silence with addison over dinner.

"sorry" addison blushed "i guess i'm just…"

"nervous, i know dear" marilyn said softly "there's no need to be, you know i have always had a soft spot for you"

"that was before all of this" addison sighed.

"you made a mistake addison, but so did sam, an even worse one in my book because i knew how much he loved you, how much he still loves you"

"how did you know that?" addison asked quietly "i didn't even know if you knew about us in the first place"

"of course i did, we may not see each other often but my sam knows to call his mother every week" marilyn laughed softly "you know we've always been close dear, he told me how much you were becoming to mean to him, i was the one telling him to hold on for you, i knew you'd get there eventually and you did, i'm just sorry that he was such a fool"

"we both made some mistakes" addison sighed.

"i suppose you did, we all do addison, but we're moving on from those mistakes now, i'm here to get to know you as well as carson, you are my daughter-in-law after all"

"well not technically…"

"addison" marilyn chuckled lightly with a roll of her eyes.

"i'm sorry" addison said sheepishly.

"sam always had a thing for you, did you know that? i could always see it…"

"well he did ask me out, in our first year at med school" addison said with a soft laugh "but i turned him down, i had a thing for derek and naomi, naomi she had a thing for sam right from the beginning of med school so, i set them up" she shrugged "we never would've worked back then, we couldn't, naomi was my best friend and…." she took in a

eath and shook her head, not being able to finish the sentence.

"it was the right thing to do at the time but times have changed" marilyn smiled "the right thing now is for you and sam to be together, you make him happy addison, even before you got back together if he said your name, i could hear the smile on his face"

"i'm glad" addison smiled, looking down a little shyly.
