Meredith went to take the babies back to the day care and Addie moved off to exam room 6 where Bailey had paged her at the end of lunch.
Addie had frowned on receiving the page, but tried to hide it from Meredith. She had no idea why she would be paging her. Addie didn't think she would be pregnant again, however, she hadn't managed to see her as of yet. It seemed that every time Addie had gone looking for her that she had been in surgery.
Moving towards the door, she wasn't sure whether she should knock, after all, she didn't know exactly what to expect.
Knocking once she then pushed the door open only to find Miranda standing there. Her arms were folded, her eyebrows raised and a file was sitting on the bed next to her.
Addie didn't know what to say or do, so she moved into the room and closed the door. She then moved to stand opposite her. She still didn't speak. She could only imagine what she had lined up for her.
Addie stood there, hand playing with her ring. She didn't know what kind of wrath she was about to experience. If she knew Miranda, she would be pushed, whether it was something that she had done herself, or someone else, was another question.
Letting out a frustrated sigh after standing there for 2 minutes, Addie finally looked up at Miranda. "You paged" she said and raised her eyebrows.
Her talking was enough to set Miranda off, and as soon as she had started Addie wished she hadn't.
"Damn right I paged you." Miranda opened. "Don't you ever put me in that position ever again." She yelled. "Telling me where you are going but not telling your wife. Making me sit back and watch her world fall apart. She struggled and yes I know you were sick but never again will I do that for you. You just up and left her with no explanation, not even a promise that you would be back. And now... now you walk around here like a wounded soldier because she hasn't taken you back with open arms but let me tell you this." Miranda said before pursing her lips. "She will take you back but never again will she rely on you the way she has done in the past. You're leaving hurt her just as much as her mother ever had. Only difference is, she isn't going to bounce back next time. She didn't really bounce back this time."
"Miranda" Addie sighed, knowing that she full well deserved the lashing that she had just received.
"No you don't get to apologise. Just know that the next time you pick up and leave I won't keep your secret." Miranda said as she handed Addie a file that had been sitting beside her.
"What's this?" Addie asked.
"Patient from Portland They requested you. It seems they have heard that you are back."
Addie sighed and nodded her head. She knew that she deserved everything she was getting but it didn't mean it didn't hurt any less.
