Daddy's Little Girl
Father listen
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
I pray to you
Addison sighed, locking the door to her house right in the middle of New York City. This was it, she was leaving, leaving her old life behind, she was desperate for a change.
"Gracie! Hurry up, we have to go!" She called her six year old daughter, who was getting her bunny, Max, this was the only way Addison had gotten her daughter to move to Seattle with her, promising her that she could keep Max. Addison's husband, Christopher, had given it to his daughter on her birthday, ignoring his wife's protests. And Gracie loved Max, he was the only thing that somehow kept her connected to her dad.
Their lives had changed completely about five months ago, when Addison's husband had died. Her world had broken down, both of their had. Gracie loved her father more than anything else in the world and when he got sick she had told him that he shouldn't leave, she had promised to be a good girl, clean her room, be good in school. But they all knew that this wasn't going to keep him with them. The day he had broken down in the kitchen deep down Addison had known that this was the end and she was right, he died during the emergency surgery, there had been no way to save him.
Gracie had stayed with her grandparents because her mother didn't leave the bed, crying all night. And now Addison had decided that they couldn't keep living in the house she and her husband had bought when they started their jobs as attendings at New York Presbyterian hospital. There were too many memories, too many memories of Christopher and Addison couldn't bare it anymore, she just couldn't handle coming home to the house he had loved so much and convinced her to buy it.
"Mommie, do we really have to go?" Gracie looked up at her mother with teary eyes and buried her nose in Max's fur, she didn't want to move, she didn't want to leave her friends and she felt as if she'd be leaving her dad.
Addison gave her daughter a sad smile "We do honey, it's for the best." Gracie just nodded her head, she couldn't understand why her mother wanted to get away so badly, but the little girl knew she had to go with her, there was no way she could stay.

"Mommy, Meghan said it only rains in Seattle." Gracie looked at Addison who chuckled. The rain. It had always been the first thing that came into her mind when she thought of Seattle, but they wouldn't be all alone there since her old mentor Richard Webber and his wife Adele lived there.
"It doesn't rain there all the time." She told her daughter and Gracie's nose crinkled slightly "So it rains there like a lot?" Rain. Gracie hated rain, she just hated it, she was never allowed to play outside in the rain and had to stay inside all day.
"Yeah, it rains there a lot." The rain was the thing that worried her the least, but she could relate to her daughter's dislike for it just too well.
"Then I don't wanna move there." Gracie crossed her arms and sat back.
"Well, honey, you don't have much of a choice since we are already on the plane." Addison smiled at her daughter and placed a kiss on top of her head.
"Fine. But can't we get off the plane?" She looked up at her mother with hopeful eyes.
"No, sorry sweetie. You'll like Seattle, it's really not that bad."
"Not that bad?! So you're saying it is bad." Addison smiled sadly at how much Gracie was like her father, he'd have endless discussions with her about something she had said and the way he interpreted it.
"It's not bad at all, you'll find friends soon."

"UNCLE RICHARD!! AUNTIE ADELE!!" Gracie squealed and ran towards Richard and Adele, who had promised to pick them up at the airport. Addison shook her head and smiled, walking over to them.
"Hey Gracie." Richard smiled and picked the little girl up.
"Hey guys." Addison hugged Adele and Richard, as good as she could, considering he still had Gracie in his arms.
"Sweetheart, how are you doing?" Adele tilted her head to the side and looked at Addison, she knew how hard it must be for her to start over from the beginning, to leave her home and how horrible it must have been to lose her husband. Adele and Richard had met both Addison and Christopher when they all still lived in New York and they started their internship.
"I'm… holding up." Addison sighed, she looked tired, circles under her red eyes.
"I'm so sorry about everything." Richard said sincerely and put his hand on Addison's shoulder, giving it a light squeeze.
"Thanks." She smiled slightly, glad she had someone to turn to.

"Honey, will you stay with Adele and Richard while I'm gone?" Addison raised her eyebrows at her daughter who already was in bed. Richard had told her to get out of the house for a while, see something of Seattle and surprisingly had agreed to go.
"Yeah." Gracie yawned, snuggling under the covers.
"Okay, sleep well sweetie." Addison pecked her daughter's cheek and got up.
"Have fun." Gracie smiled at her and she smiled back. "Thanks, you have sweet dreams."

"Hey there, is this seat taken?" Addison looked up as she heard a voice behind her, her green eyes meeting blue ones.
"It is now." She gave him a smile and he sat down next to her.
"So, I haven't seen you here…" Addison looked over at the man who had sat next to her. He had black and slightly curly hair, blue eyes…
"Look, if you wanna ask me out, or buy me a drink or if you're gonna hit on me, I'll save you the trouble."
He chuckled at her "Okay, why, married?"
"Yes." She sighed, running her fingers through her long hair. "No."
"Erm, but you…" He started, glancing at her left hand, where her ring was.
"Yeah, I was married, but now… I…" Addison didn't know why she was telling him, a complete stranger, this but it felt good to talk. "My husband passed away five months ago."
"Oh, I'm really sorry about that." He said sincerely. "I know you don't know me, but if you ever need to talk…"
"Thank you."
Father listen
Tell him that he's got a home and he don't have to go
Father save him
I would do anything in return
I'll clean my room
Try hard in school
I'll be good
I promise you
Father, Father
I pray to you
