A/N: I apologize for the delay, but there have been some wicked storms pass through here that have generated some crazy lightning that I am not willing to subject my laptop to. I just personally want to give a shout out to shezRECkLESSx, she has reviewed every chapter so far and has put ideas into my head like when to incorporate some Mer/Addie loving and the latest idea, an obstacle in front of Meredith and Addison…Ellis. To halliwell-luver, beautifulbearljb and McMackenzie thank you for the multiple reviews they keep me going. To everyone else who was not mentioned, thank you. If I personally thanked each one of you, then this would be an even longer A/N. Thanks again, now on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own, I just enjoy making the characters do what I want them to instead of what Shonda wants them to.


Meredith called George's phone and it went to voicemail so she hung up. "He's not answering Addie."

"Well he obviously knows that we are planning on killing him." Addison and Meredith walked out of the on call room.

"I think I might know where he might be. It's where we always go when we have a crappy day or need a little cheering up." Meredith grabbed Addison's arm and pulled her towards an elevator.

When they arrived to the correct floor Addison had a confused look upon her face. "Why are we on the same floor as the nursery?"

"We have a weakness for newborns when we need cheering up. This is how Izzie and George were allowed to move in." Meredith pulled Addison off the elevator, but stopped suddenly when she eyed her prey. "There he is. We need to hide and watch him for a little while." She ducked behind an empty baby bassinet.

"What are we Mer, freaking predators getting ready to pounce on a gazelle or something?" Addison laughed.

"Shh, we can't let him hear us. I think he is talking to himself again." Meredith leaned forward trying to hear what George was saying.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid. Meredith I'm sorry that I told your homophobic mother that you are with a woman. I found out that she didn't know when she nearly had a heart attack. It's definitely a good thing that we have really good doctors around to help her. No, she won't go for the sarcasm. Hmm…Dr. Montgomery, I apologize for this misunderstanding, I did not know that my patient was Meredith's mother until I made her mad. That actually might work, yeah!" As George thought of every possible scenario in his head while pacing around glancing at the newborns for inspiration, he did not realize Meredith and Addison had made their way over and were now standing behind him.

"Hello George." The women said in unison.

George slowly turned around and winced as he saw them. "Please don't hurt me." He held his hands up to shield himself.

"Come with us." Addison grabbed George by his arm and pulled him into a nearby exam room.

"Yes ma'am." George whimpered.

"George, give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you right now." Meredith looked at him.

"Because I'm your friend?" George had a hopeful puppy dog look on his face in hopes that it work get rid of Meredith's anger.

"Wrong answer O'Malley." The red head chimed in.

"It is?" Addison slapped George across the back of the head. "Ow, okay, okay. I'm sorry Meredith it was a misunderstanding. I did not know it was your mother, but even if I had known it was your mother I wouldn't have known that she didn't know your dated women." George rubbed his head where he had been slapped.

"We have watched my mother's surgery tapes so many times George, how could you NOT know that that woman is my mother?" Meredith slapped George in the back of the head.

"Ow, can we do away with the violence. Geez, a few more hits and I may need a consult with Dr. Shepherd." George rubbed his head again. "You take it for granted that I can recognize you mother without a scrub cap and mask on. I didn't see her everyday in person."

"Well neither did I, George. I guess we have that in common." Meredith's eyes held a certain sadness as she knew she would have to explain to her friend later.

"I'm sorry Meredith." George reached for her hand.

"So what you are telling us, O'Malley, is that you go around telling patients the details of the private lives' of your friends without actually knowing the patient?" Addison's face told George that she wasn't very happy with him. Not only for revealing their relationship to Meredith's mother, but for causing Meredith even more problems with her mother.

"I'm sorry; she started asking if I knew Meredith and I told her that I was her room mate. Then her mom asked if that was what they were calling boyfriends these days. I explained that I wasn't Meredith's boyfriend, that she was dating you." George cowered as he expected to be hit again.

"Well, I guess it really was a misunderstanding then? Did you happen to mention my name to her mother? I need to know for my safety." Addison quipped.

"Um, I'm sorry Dr. Montgomery. I did." George winced as he prepared for a verbal lashing from the attending.

"It's okay. I just needed to know." Addison patted George's head because she knew he was expecting her to hit him again.

"I'm sorry George; it wasn't your fault that she started asking you questions. You didn't know any better. I forgive you." Meredith squeezed George's hand.

Addison's pager shrilled, "Well I guess it's time to meet the mother." The red head looked at her lover.

"Good luck." Meredith placed a quick peck on Addison's cheek as she walked out of the exam room.

"You know George, Addison and I were thinking about tying you down to the exam table and have your feet in the stirrups just to kind of freak you out." Meredith giggled as she patted her hand on the stirrups.

"Uh, I'm glad you didn't. I was scared enough as it was." George and Meredith made their way back to the surgical floor.


Addison strolled into Ellis Grey's room to introduce herself and explain the procedures that would take place if the labs told them that Ellis had cancer. "Hello, Mrs. Grey. How are you doing today?"

"It's Dr. Grey, and I'm fine." Ellis apparently had no idea that her doctor was dating her daughter.

Addison decided she would dance around introducing herself and get straight to the point. "Dr. Grey, due to your family history we have reason to believe that you could possibly have ovarian cancer. The labs are still being processed, but if they do turn out to be positive we will need to operate today or tomorrow. I will be performing a" Addison was cut off.

"I'm sorry you did not introduce yourself. I am not about to let you operate on me without knowing you name." Ellis folded her arms across her chest.

"You wouldn't let me operate either way once you find out my name." Addison mumbled under her breath. "I apologize, my name is Dr. Addison Montgomery. I am the Head of Neonatal as well as a board certified OB/GYN."

Ellis' face grew red in record time once Addison had introduced herself. "You are dating my daughter. You turned my daughter. You are not operating on me. GET. OUT. NOW!" Meredith's mother pointed towards the door and Addison turned to leave, but she suddenly saw Meredith jump into the room. She had obviously been watching the encounter just in case she needed to step in, and boy did she ever need to step in.

"God damn it mom! You act like you are so perfect, like you never did a damn thing wrong in your life. You know you are so fucking hypocritical, I mean for God's sake you had an affair with a married man! This is nothing compared to that because I love Addison! I LOVE HER! I can't make you change your views about this relationship, but I can sure as hell make you change your views as a mother…because as of right now you aren't mine. I don't want to see you again, and I'm signing all of the legal power back to the nursing home." Meredith grabbed Addison's hand and pulled them both out of the room. Meredith was bawling at this point so Addison took her to an on call room to try and calm her down.

"Babe, look at me. Breathe." Addison rubbed her hand up and down her girlfriend's back.

"I stood up to her. I finally stood up to her." Meredith repeated to herself a few times before it registered fully in her mind what had just happened. She looked up at Addison with a smile of relief and freedom. "I stood up to her." She hugged Addison.

"You did Mer, you stood up to her." Addison pulled away from Meredith and wiped the blonde's tears away.

Meredith stood up and pulled Addison with her. "I'm free; I don't have to deal with my mother anymore."

"Unfortunately, I do." Addison frowned as she thought about it.

"You don't have to. We can explain to the Chief that you don't feel comfortable operating on her and he can have Bailey do it. She's done that procedure before." Meredith placed a kiss on the red head's lips.

"Okay, but we need to tell Richard now." Addison placed a kiss on the tip of Meredith's nose.

"You need to tell him now. I have charts and rectal exams that I have to do for Izzie for being on call for me. Sorry." Meredith initiated a passionate kiss that soon turned into more as Addison moaned into her mouth. They only broke apart when Meredith's pager went off. "It's Izzie. I got to go. I love you." Meredith stole another kiss before turning to leave.

Addison grabbed Meredith's arm and yanked her back and kissed her again softly. "I love you too. Now go because you need to get off at a decent time tonight." Addison slapped Meredith's butt encouraging her to hurry up. "Bye."


A/N: Okay, not a very long chapter, but hopefully I will get chapter eight done soon (if there's no lightning) and that will make up for it. I am beginning to run out of ideas, so please review to replenish me with plot bunnies. Thank you! Oh, btw, where do I make a request for a fic? There's a song that I think is perfect for a fic. It's called Almost Lover by: A Fine Frenzy. I would write it, but I think there are better writers out there who could do a much better job than me. I personally think it might be Callica angst or something; once someone hears it they might think another pairing, I just love the song. Sorry I'm rambling; I just didn't know where to post a request.
