22. Chapter 22 (1/2)

"good morning" addison smiled as she walked into the doctor's lounge with sam where derek, callie, arizona and amelia sat drinking coffee after a long over night surgery.

"hey, welcome back" callie smiled "how was la?"

"la was, really great" addison smiled "everyone says hello"

"and we actually have some news" sam smiled, his arm coming around addison's body.

"what did you do now?" amelia sighed.

"let them speak amy" derek smirked "so, what did you do?"

"we actually came home yesterday" addison smiled "we went straight to city hall and got the ball rolling on changing carson's birth certificate, we should have done it, a long time ago, so hopefully soon he'll be carson bennett"

"that's great news" arizona smiled "i'll bet carson was happy"

"he was, but that's not all" sam said with a slight laugh "while we were there, we kind of, got married"

"what?" callie exclaimed.

"as soon as my i get my new lab coat and id badge, you can start calling me dr montgomery-bennett" addison smiled, holding her hand out to show them her rings "officially i'll be addison bennett but it's just easier at the hospital to keep montgomery….please someone say something happy"

"congratulations, both of you" arizona smiled, standing up and kissing both of their cheeks "i guess this means you'll finally be moving in together…"

"we're thinking of getting a house" sam smiled "i'm calling a realtor today"

"this is great guys, really" derek smiled, shaking sam's hand "congratulations addie" he said softly as he kissed her cheek.

"thank you" addison smiled.

"i am so mad at you for doing this without us but, if you're happy with a city hall wedding…" callie started.

"i am" addison smiled "it was right for us"

"then we're going out for drinks soon ok?" callie laughed as she hugged her tightly.

"ok" addison laughed quietly.

"hold up just a second" amelia said as she stood "i spent months watching you pine over each other, twice, i told you both to get your asses into gear more than twice, i moved to seattle with you, i've kept your secrets, i've been there through every little piece of drama the two of you have caused and you don't even have the decency to invite me to your wedding?"

"amelia" addison laughed "you hate weddings"

"but it's the principle…"

addison sighed a little and walked over to her, putting her hands on amelia's shoulders "you have put up with our drama from pretty much the beginning, you're the little sister both of us never had, we love you, now please, forgive us?"

"well you don't have to get all mushy about it" amelia mumbled, shrugging her off a little, addison rolled her eyes and laughed.

~x~

2 weeks later.

"is someone we know getting married?" addison frowned as she stood in the elevator of her apartment building with sam, flicking through the pile of mail in her hand.

"not that i know of, why?"

"nothing, this just looks like a wedding invite" addison said, handing him the cream coloured envelope with their names written in printed calligraphy on the front, he opened it as they walked to the apartment.

"oh my god" he mumbled.

"what?" addison yawned as they stepped into the apartment.

"it is an invite, for our wedding" he laughed "there's a letter with it"

"well what's it say?"

"dear addison and sam, we know we said we were ok with the fact that you got married without us there but we were lying, so tomorrow addison a car will be picking you up at 9am sharp to take you to the archfield, sam your groomsmen will be arriving shortly afterwards with suits for you and carson, lots of love from callie and amelia, i can't believe them" he laughed.

"we should kill them" addison grumbled.

"we don't have to do it, they can't force us but, if you want to do it…"

"do you want to do it?"

"it might be nice" sam smiled "to have everyone there"

"i guess" she sighed, biting her bottom lip "i mean i'm happy with our city hall wedding but, this might give us a chance to, really cele

ate or, something"

"i would marry you every single day if i could" sam smiled, pulling her into his arms and kissing her "i love you addison bennett"

"i love you too" addison said softly "do you think they'll make us do speeches? because i'm good at those…"

"we could write our own vows" sam smiled "that'd be pretty cool"

"ok" addison smiled "y'know we have an hour before meredith

ings carson home…." she squealed as sam scooped her up in his arms, he grunted a little and she laughed "getting a little old and tired?"

"shut up and i'll show you quite the opposite" he smirked, carrying her into the bedroom.

~x~

"this is insane" addison mumbled as she waited for her car the next morning.

"it's going to be a good day" sam said softly as he ran his fingers through her hair "we're going to show all of our friends how much we love each other"

"and i get to wear a nice suit" carson beamed up at them "i've never worn a suit before"

"i'm sure you will look very handsome honey" addison said softly, leaning down to kiss the top of his head "you be a good boy ok? and keep your dad and uncles in line for me"

"promise" carson laughed "i'll be in charge"

"yes you will" she laughed "ok, i think that's for me" she said as the doorbell buzzed "i'll see you soon"

"see you soon" sam smiled, kissing her firmly on the lips "i love you mrs bennett"

"i love you too, both of my mr bennett's" addison smiled, she kissed sam again before leaving the apartment.

"this is going to be so cool!" carson grinned, sam laughed to himself and nodded in agreement.

~x~

"do you like it?" callie asked worriedly as she watched addison look at herself in the mirror of her hotel room, wearing an a-line, sweetheart necked, spaghetti strapped ivory wedding dress "i went for something simple because i knew you'd go on about how you've been married before and you feel too old and, all of that, so…"

"it's beautiful callie" addison smiled softly "how much…."

"uh-uh" arizona said, pointing her finger a little "we've all chipped in for today"

"but…."

"addison, seriously" amelia smirked "just enjoy being spoilt for once"

"ok, ok" addison said, holding up her hands defensively "i'm sorry, i'll shut up now"

"knock knock knock!" sofia and zola's loud voices said through the door, arizona laughed and opened the door "oh now, don't you two look beautiful" she smiled.

"do you know how hard it was to get them dressed?" cristina grumbled as she walked into the room with meredith "they're so freaking excited they wouldn't stop moving"

"well i'm glad you eventually did because now i have two gorgeous little

idesmaids" addison smiled as twirled the girls around in their red

idesmaids dresses.

"you look beautiful too aunt addie" sofia beamed "you look like a princess"

"thanks sweetheart" addison said with a soft laugh.

"bailey sends her love, she's not at all happy she's missing this" meredith said with a laugh "i actually thought she was going to do owen some damage when he called her to the pit"

"right" addison laughed "well i'll tell her tomorrow not to worry so much, i'm surprised so many of you are here"

"we're just hoping to get through the ceremony without a pager going off" callie sighed "now come on, sit down, i need to do your hair"

"yes ma'am" addison smirked as she took her seat, the room filling with happy chatter.

~x~

"i still can't believe you did this" sam said with a slight laugh as he sat in the car with carson, mark and alex, derek driving them to the archfield.

"it was all callie, and addie better love it or she'll probably explode" mark laughed.

"she's been going crazy for weeks trying to get this right, amelia was of course winding her up too which didn't help" derek smirked.

"it's been pretty hilarious to watch" alex laughed.

"of course it has" sam smirked.

"daddy! daddy look its maya and olivia!" carson exclaimed, pointing out of the window to the front of hotel "dad look!"

"we may have flown them out here last night" derek smiled "i picked them up from the airport and got them settled into a room here, they can't wait"

"again, i can't believe you all did this" sam laughed "you really didn't have too"

"just enjoy it while you can" mark laughed, derek parked up at the side of the road and handed his keys to the valet.

"hi dad" maya smiled as sam and carson approached them "hey carson look at you, you're so big now, and you look so handsome in that suit"

"i know" carson beamed up at her.
