The others backed off after Bailey. It seemed they had gotten the hint that Meredith didnt really want to talk about it and that this also had nothing to do with them.
Although they weren't happy about it...
Meredith and Alex had enjoyed their space and knowing that the others had been given strict guidelines in how they treated Meredith and this new found knowledge. In fact the most interesting in handling this new information were the people whom had let Meredith scrub in on their surgeries.
A few of the surgeons watched Meredith in the scrub room, while Most were happy just to give her space.
What Alex was proud of was that nobody refused to let her scrub in and despite the decrease in hours that Meredith was now working, she was still finding herself in the O.R for one surgery or another.
Alex had been proud to have given Meredith a chance to shine because he found himself learning so much from her. In fact, at this very moment he was watching her from the gallery perform an appendectomy all by herself. Which of course was no big deal - because she had already completed a couple of these.
Addison had moved into the gallery and sat beside him. She had already told him a few weeks previous that Meredith would need to slow down more. Now that she was 5 and a half months along, it was a necessity. In other words - Addie didn't think Merediht should be spending so much time in the O.R.
"Her belly is big." Addie whispered.
Alex nodded.
"it's got its own entity." Addie chuckled.
"Well it happens when your pregnant with triplets." Alex said with a shrug.
Addie sighed. "Do you know if she has decided to stay with Dr Potter?" she asked.
Alex shook his head. "I dont think we will. I think she really wants you, but i cant say yay or nay. She is the one to decide. "
Addie nodded. "Thats understandable. But do you think she would let me do an exam today so i know what i will be seeing... i dont want anything to happen to those babies."
"Again you will have to ask her." he sighed
Addie groaned.
"Look Addie, she doesnt like people touching her without permission. She is absolutely in love with our babies, but is also not wanting to find out the sex. Sh has been requested to scrub in to more surgeries than all the rest of us interns. She's busy making a name for herself before she has the babies and i understand that. But i cant answer all these questions for you. They are decisions that are meant to be made by us, not by me. She is forgiving you. Let her come to you." he told her before standing up and leaving.
Meredith looked up at that moment and watched as Alex walked out leaving Addie watching the surgery.
Meredith's eyebrows furrowed and all she could do was wonder what that was all about.
