Addison closed her eyes with patience as her little girl tugged on the sleeve of her white scrub jacket. She looked down to see the child’s tear filled eyes, and knelt down, wrapping her in her arms. Although it pained her to do so, it hurt her more to see her little girl in so much emotional pain.
“I thought you were suppose to be waiting in my office.” She said in a quiet tired tone. The little girl looked up at her, her bottom lip quivering. Addison closed her eyes again. She knew what her little girl had been through, what they had all been through in the past twenty four hours, but she knew that nothing could be done about it.
“Don’t make me tell Daddy you were disobeying me.” Addison threatned, but although the small child didn’t know it, Addison would never tell her husband of her daughter’s mis-adventures. Her husband hurt her enough, without Addison making him more angry.
Her daughter immideatly goes limp when Addison threatens her, Addison gives her a kiss on the top of the forhead and then sits her down on the couch in her office, handing her her bag, with her books and a couple of toys.
“Stay here.” She said. Her body was acheing, and she had a bruise the size and shape of her husbands fist on her back. She got some medical supplies and took her daughter’s hand in her own causing her to scream. Addison quieted her as she took the ointment and placed it on the star shapped burn on her daughter’s hand, wrapping it gently in moist gauze to help the burn heal. She gives her another kiss, before going over to the mirror, touching her fingers lightly to the deep purple hand marks on her throat where her husband had tried to choke her that morning. She had covered the bruises with Make-up, and an expensive top.
She watched to make sure her daughter was occupied and went into the exam room connected to her office, she pulls up her sleeve, and with a scapel draws a small deep cut on her wrist. When the dark red blood oozed from her pale skin she breathed a sigh of relief. Cleaning and bandageing her wound she returned to her daughter, smiling.

The child looked at her curiously, she couldn't see behind the fake smile because that was the only thing she'd seen her entire life. She had never seen a genuine smile, she'd never heard a real laugh. She'd never had the luxery of going home to a safe shelter where nothing could ever happen to her. She was used being fake herself, lying about every bruise and scratch on her body. She made herself sound like the most accident prone child alive.
"I hate waiting in here for you." she mumbled as her mother was about to walk out of the door. Addison turned, standing in the doorway and looking at her daughter who was sitting on the floor with a Barbie in her hand.
Aryanna had accidently seen her mother naked once. She walked into the bathroom just as Addison was about to walk into the shower. And the next morning the only thing she wanted to know is why her mother's had the shape of her Barbies but had bruises covering it all.
"But I don't wanna go home. I want you to stay here with me and I want us to stay in here together forever until Daddy's dead or something." she whispered. Twirling her doll's perfect blond hair around her little finger then letting it loose.
She knew her father would beat her to sleep when they got home. She would pretend to fall in defeat then cry herself into a pretend sleep while really she watched as her father went on to her mother. Tonight he'd scream at her for treating the burn on their daughter's hand then beat her until she was on the ground beside Aryanna.
Addison walked back into her office and shut the door. She didn't say anything, she didn't move in any further. She stood against the door, staring at the child who was staring back at her. She didn't know what else she could do, if she did it would be done a long time ago.
"What's wrong, Mommy?" Aryanna finally asked

“Nothing honey.” Addison said, but knelt down next to her daughter slowly, deliberately, the bruises on her body causing stabbing pains every time she moved. She heard the footsteps outside her office. Her body stiffened, and she looked to her daughter, who looked back in terror. They knew the sounds of his footsteps by heart, and tried to avoid him if at all possible.
Aryanna stood up and hid behind her mother, although she knew that it would do her no good. She didn’t yet understand that her daddy woudn’t hurt her or her mommy if other people were watching. She didn’t understand that the abuse only happened when they were alone.
The door opened and Kevin walked in, gently smiling down at his wife. Catching a glance of his little girl, clinging to her mother, so helplessly. He closed the door behind him, and shut the blinds. Addison’s heart raced she felt like any effort to move or breathe would cost her her life.
“What are you doing here Kevin?” she asked her voice as strong as she dared. “I can’t come and visit my wife and daughter on my lunch break?” He asked, his voice sly and gentle. It caused a shiver to go down her spine.
“Please….Just leave.” Addison requested. And he looked at her, laughter in his eyes.
“Why would I do that?” He asked, pulling her closer to him, slowly and gently kissing her neck and lips. “Why would I leave when everything I want is right here?” He asked her, and she tried to pull away from him, earning her a swift punch to the face, breaking her nose and causing tears to fall from her eyes, but she knew not to scream.
“MOMMY!” Aryanna shouted, moving from where she had hidden when Kevin pulled her mother away from her, jumping on him, and hitting him with everything she had.
“YOU HURT HER!” She shouted. “YOU HURT MY MOMMY!” She screamed as loud as she could……..
“Aryanna go sit down!” Addison yelled as she struggled against her husband, who had grabbed her by her throat just as the girl had jumped on him.
“NO! MOMMY!” Aryanna cried. She didn’t know why she was so brave all of a sudden, but something clicked in her brain as she began to formulate her father’s plain in her mind. If only she could cause enough noise to get someone else to come into the room Daddy would stop hurting Mommy and she would be safe.
“GET OFF ME!” Kevin shouted, and much much stronger than Aryanna, he pulled the child off of him, knocking her to the ground, causing her crumple on the ground dissolving in loud inconsolable tears. “What’s going on here?” Naomi asked, she had heard the screaming and comotion coming from her best friends office, and had walked in just as Kevin squeezed Addison’s neck tight enough to cause her to faint and fall to the ground.

Pete and Sam followed her the sound of the screaming and stood behing Naomi until they saw Addison lying on the floor and her daughter crying while Kevin stood there. They both pushed past Naomi and gragged Kevin out the door to the elevator threatening to call security.
In the mean time Naomi took care of Addison, putting an oxygen mask over her face and standing by her side until she woke up. Aryanna was lying beside her, with her head tucked beneath her mother's chest and her arm draped over her waist. Tears soaked through Addison's shirt. She was asleep but at least she was safe for the time being.
"So how you're keeping secrets like this from me?" Naomi asked abruply. Addison pulled the mask off her face and threw it at Naomi playfully as a gesture for her to shut up and not take the coversation any further. She began stroking her daughter's dark blonde hair, that one the one and only thing she had inherited from her father.
"Was a plastic mask suppose to hurt me because I think your husband might do a better job of it. He obviously proves his stength when he rings your neck. And you obviously really know how to apply make up because those shirts you wear show everything and yet...we see nothing."
"Mommy, make Nai shut up." Aryanna mumbled in her sleep while she settled herself more comfertably.
"Oh and it's not enough you're a littler lier, you're letting your kid do the same thing. Have you seen the bruises on her? How could you let something like that happen to you daughter? How could you no do something about it?" she rambled on in a monotoninic voice.

“I’m fine.” Addison said, trying to sit up, but her ribs were bruised from a beating she took the night before and it proved difficult, in defeat half way up, she pulled her little girl closer to her and held her close grimicing against the pain the additional thirty five lbs was causing her. Aryanna was small for her age, small and still fit perfectly into Addison’s arms.
“Since when was it any of your buissness what secrets I keep?” Addison asked sharply, and from the look of hurt on Naomi’s face, Nai didn’t know that Addison protected her daughter, she didn’t know what Aryanna only got 10 percent of all that he gave out.
“I’m sorry Nai.” Addison said forceing a smile, that fake smile that was so perfect that not even her best friend could see through.
“Nothing’s wrong, we got into a fight, and things got out of hand.” She said, she was obviously brainwashed by her husband’s control over her, she knew how to tell the perfect lies, knew how to make everyone believe she was fine, when really she was shattered.
“You don’t know what your talking about Nai, things got out of hand and Kevin pushed her away, she tripped over her toys and fell, everything’s fine, it’s an accident.” Addison said convincingly. She got up, trying to hide her pain as she picked up her daughter and laid her on the couch covering her with a blanket to keep her warm.
“Please Naomi, don’t make this a bigger deal than it has to be.” She begged, looking into her best friends dark chocolate eyes.

"Okay, fine. Let's say your bull shit isn't bull shit. Things really did get out of hand and he pushed Aryanna away and she trip on the a toy. What about the rest of it? Did he accidently slip and grab your neck to hold himself up then his own stength proved too much for him when he squeezed too hard and caused you to pass out. That makes perfect sense. Cause that's what happen when Sam and I got into a heated fight." she replied sarcastically.
"And even with all that being the truth as you so claim.. what's the cut on your arm?" she asked. "Oh let me guess, scapel slipped during a C and caught your other arm, cut through the surgical gown and went deep into your flesh cause you couldn't control it. Or did you husband mistake it for the potatoes while you guys were make dinner last night."
Aryanna sat up and rubbed her eyes tiredly. "Why are you still talking?" she asked innocently. She was in desperate need for more sleep.
"But then again, why would you make dinner. It's not like you would eat it. You sit there, stab food with a fork, release, stab, release..."
Addison stood there, listening to everything Naomi was saying, knowing it was the truth. She didn't have the right to say something because Naomi was right.
"So what, Addison? You expect me to believe all that or are you going to tell me what's really going on with you in that house? Because either way, I have enough to call the police."

“Naomi please!” Addison protested. “Please don’t call the police.” Addison begged. For the first time she realized that she wasn’t wearing her white lab coat anymore. They must have removed it when she passed out. ‘FML’ she thought to herself as she looked up to Naomi who had the cordless phone from her desk in her hand.
“Look I’ll tell you everything---the truth---I’ll.” She looked down at her daughter who looked up at her mother with big blue innocent eyes.
“Go back to sleep.” She told her, her tone suddenly ten times gentler than the one she was previously using with Nai. “Mommy and Auntie Nai need to talk.” She explained.
“Daddy ‘ll hurt you.” She whimpered her eyes terrified. She climbed up onto her mothers lap and burried her head in her mother’s chest. Addison gently rubbed her back, telling her that everything was going to be ok.
“Please…..please don’t call the police Nai, she’s all I have, and if you call the police they will take her from me, you know the rules.” She looked up at nai for the first time naomi could see the tears in her eyes.
“What do you want from me?” She demanded.

"What do I want from you?" Naomi scoffed incredulously. "What do I want from you? Nothing! I want you to stop being a victim in your marriage. I want you to stand up for yourself and your daughter. If not at least let me do it. Because what you're doing is doing more harm than good. You're hurting yourself, not helping. You do realize that right?"
"Kevin was suppose to save you from all this, from yourself. He was suppose to give you everything you wanted, he was your fairytale. He finally gave you a child, you were so happy and now I find out it's all an act. How am I suppose to take that? How could I have been so blind not to see it?"
She began pacing back and forth nervously. "Who would ever think Kevin would do that? He'sa cop, he's suppose to save woman from a beating and yet he's the one beating his wife...and daughter. So typical... the one's you expect the least."
She stopped walking about and stood still crossing her arms firmly deciding she wasn't going to let Addison have control of her life anymore. "I have to call the police, Addison. You'll get your daughter back in a few days after she tells them you haven't hurt her."
"You can't call the police, Daddy is the police." Aryanna shouted, jumping off the couch and running toward Naomi to grab the phone from her. "No one will beleive you, they are all this friends."
"Not every cop in LA knows your dad, Ayanna. And I'm sure not even 10 percent of them are his friends. He's hurting you and your mother."
Aryanna looked between the two women in the room. She looked up at Naomi, hands on her hips like she saw her mother often do. "Fine, call them. If you promise that that means he won't hurt us anymore than you can call them. Just don't make things worse." she begged, clinging to Naomi's legs leaving Addison standing there alone in shock.

“Aryanna let go of her and come here this instant.” Addison demanded as the shock was beginning to wear off. The little girl looked up at Naomi with pleading eyes, and then to her mother again.
“But mommy she---”
“Now Aryanna” Addison demanded again, and defeated the young blonde haired little angel let go of her savior and walked over to her mother, lifting her arms to be picked up by her, like she did when she was young. Addison picked her daughter up and held her close. Not even minding that the weight of the child pressing against her bruises was so painful that it almost brought tears to her eyes.
She begins to cry. She looks up at Naomi, how could she do this to her? How could her best friend in the entire world do this?
“Kevin loves us Naomi, you don’t understand, and you’ll never understand what’s really going on here.” She tried to explain. “Things really did just get out of control.” She said, the tears flooding down her cheeks clouding her sight.
“Please…” She whispered. “Don’t do this to me….don’t take the only thing I’ve ever loved away from me. If social services gets her I’ll never get her back.” She exclaimed. A million thoughts were raceing through her mind.
She put Aryanna down, and the little girl clung to her mother’s leg, as if she would never feel safe again. Addison looked down at her, and sank down to the ground herself. Tears falling from her eyes, as she held her daughter in her arms.
“Just take her.” She whispered, looking up at Naomi.
“Please, don’t call the police , just take her. I can’t loose her too.” She cried.

"You're giving me your kid?" Naomi asked slowly while Aryanna came toward her. "Addison, this is insane. Kevin will kill you for doing this. And I don't mean it as in the figure of speech, he will slaughter you. Then he'll come after me."
She picked up Aryanna who put her head down on her shoulder and rubbed her eyes tiredly. "It's not that I'm not willing to take her, because I love her like she's my own kid. And I won't call the cops if you promise to do something about this tonight. Take care of it yourself and stop letting him mimize Addison Adrean Forbes Montgomery into... into someone as pathedic sounding as Addie Nelson. You're not that woman."
"I'd force you to go home and relax for a while but I'm not so sure that's a good idea. You can go to my place until you're ready to go home though. Do whatever you want and just free your mind." she offered. "But just so you know, how that I have Aryanna I'm gonna have Cooper look at her and you're not going to stop me. He won't tell anyone, he won't call the cops."
She began to walk out of Addison's office and turned in the doorway saying. "Oh, and Addison, if this situation isn't taken care of by noon tomorrow than I seriously am getting involved." she threated like she was talking to her teenaged daughter.

"I'm not giving her to you...."Addison corrected Naomi slowly, "I am letting you take care of her, to keep her safe until I can do the same myself." She gave her little girl a kiss, when she walked over to Naomi Addison turned to leave the room, but just as she was about to open the door, she felt little arms wrapped around her legs, and heard a little voice begging her not to go.
"No sweetie." Addison explained. "You have to stay here with Nai." She said kneeling down so that she is at her daughters level once again.
"I want you to be with auntie nai too! " Aryanna begged, looking up at her mother, her eyes full of fear and tears.
"I can't...." Addison said unwinding her daughter and handing her to naomi who held her in her arms as she cried. Naomi looks up Addison a look of confusion in her eyes.
"I just can't--" She said walking out the door, her breathing elevated and she tried so hard not to cry herself.
An hour later she was at home, but it was an hour too soon according her husband who immideatly grabbed her by the arm and slammed her to the ground when she walked in the door.
"What are you doing?!?" Addison cried out, kicking him, only to earn her a swift kick in the ribs. She curled up on the ground. Tears filling her eyes.
"Wat does it look like i'm doing ?" He asked, sitting ontop of her pulling her face so that she is forced to look him in the eyes.
She couldn't speek, couldn't breathe for the weight pressing down on her.

Kevin looked down at her, holding her head still so she couldn't turn away. He stared in the eyes in silence, just listening to her wimper in pain. One of his hands moved down from her cheek, keeping a firm grasp of her chin so her face would not move.
His fingers began to apply pressure, choking her until she started gagging. At first he relieved the pressure and gave her a chance to take a breath but quickly got back to his task. His knees were holding down her hands so she couldn't pull herself out of his grasp. The color from her face was quickly drained as she struggled to keep her eyes open and breathe.
"Can you still hear me?" he shouted. She didn't respond, her eyes were fluttering open and closed. "Answer me, bitch!"
She made a painful sound which was enough for him. He knew she was still functioning enough to understand him.
"You're trying to take my kid away from me? You think that's gonna do her any good? It won't. Because you're gonna die in a matter of minutes and no one is gonna have any idea what happen to you. Then legally Aryanna is all mine. And she's got no Mommy to protect her or hide her in the hospital and magically make every boo-boo go away. So you think what you did was best for her? It wasn't." he assured. "Anything to say?" he asked mockingly, not even giving her a chance to talk if she had chosen to. "Good."
With that he stopped holding himself up and sat on her abdomen, crushing her lungs while applying pressure with both hands onto her head. Within seconds her eyes closed and she drew one final desperate breath before she stop stuggeling and her body went limb. That's when he let go of her and heard her exhale the breath without drawing another.
Now she was just lying there, he wasn't sure if she was dead or alive, but she was lying there...not moving and not breathing.

Part of her just wanted to die. She was clinging somewhere inbetween life and death. She was aware of what was going on, but only just. she couldn't breathe. She felt as if her lung was collapsed. During the attack she had grabbed her cellphone and hit call....it was ment to call nai and Addison knew that if Nai had answered the phone she would have come resucue her, but she wasn't sure if she had or not. She was passed out long before she had a chance to find out if she would be rescued or not.
Naomi was with a patient when her cell phone began ringing. Knowing it was Addison, but unable to leave her patient at the moment she had let it go to voicemail. It was a full thirty minutes before Naomi was able to check her voicemail, and another 10 mintues before she was at Addison's beach house.
Naomi let herelf into the house, and quickly did a check, looking for her best friend. upon finding her laying on the floor not breathing, she calls 9-1-1 on her cell phone and begins CPR. There were decreased beath sounds on the right side and Naomi immideatly knows that her lung has collapsed, and immideate actions will have to be taken. She immideatly takes a needle from her purse and inserts it inbetween the second and third intercostal spaces in Addison's chest, sighing with relief when she hears the small hissing sound of the trapped air escaping from Addison's chest, and Addison starts breathing on her own again.
Naomi places Addison in the recovery position and once the ambulance arrives, rides in the back with her best friend, helping care for her. Watching, unknowing as her friend slipps further and further away.
*A Week later*
Addison had slipped into a coma due to the trama a week previous, and one week later she slowly opened her eyes.
"Nae?" She whispers. Because she was breatheing on her own, she had no need to have a breathing tube implaced.
"What happeneD?" She asked . She was so tired, but she believed that it was because of the seditive they had given her to keep her comfortable and make the pain go away.
"Where's Aryanna?"

"You...are the stupides woman I have ever met. Just incase I haven't mentioned that." Naomi smiled, taking her hand. "Hi." she started off, her relief and joy just to hear the voice she thought she'd never hear again.
"First of all, because I know it's the only thing that will make you feel better...Aryanna is fine. She's perfect, she's with Sam and Maya and they were gonna teach her how to make a sand castle. As for your other question..." she took a breath, restaining the urge to use words that she didn't believe should be said. "Kevin tried to kill you, your lung collapsed and you went into coma. But you appear to be fine how, no loss of memory...unless I haven't realized it yet. No paralysis..cause you're moving. So looks like all's well. And Kevin is in prison for attempted man slaughter... already when through a trail. A wonderful message on my voicemail proved him guilty."
"I. wanna. leave." she said with gaps between her words for dramtic effect.
"I want a lot of things to. Can't always get what you want. If I could, I would have got what I wanted me I wanted to turn him in...then you'd be fine right now. But just like I listened to you then, you're listening to me know. You're gonna be here until I tell you otherwise. Got it?"
Addison raised her brows, staring at Naomi and nodded.
"By the way.. news got a certain Mark Sloan who flew from New York to be with you. He's been sitting in this chair for a week straight and you wake up during the 10 minute break I force him to take...good doin. Now you have to pretend to to be out again and when he's back..pretend to wake up. And do the thing with the eyes...cause it's hot."
Addison didn't say anything, just smiled as Naomi rambled on about how to pretend to wake up from her coma so it would appear Sexy for her one time boy friend.
