Chapter 28: It's Natural

"Your mother is amazing." Christina glowed as she caught up with Meredith outside the scrub room.

"That's only because you're not her daughter." Meredith sighed. "Speaking of mother… I need to go check on her."

"Check on her? She's a grown woman."

"Who got in a little girl fight." Meredith said, "So Derek went all Indiana Jones on them and locked them in an on-call room until they got along."

"Indiana Jones huh?" Christina smirked "Will he be cracking his whip for you later?"

"I'm the one with the whip remember."

"I'm assuming you'll be getting the trunk out then?"

"That's for me to know and you to not."

"Oh come on." Christina whined "When did we stop telling each other everything?"

"Since my sex life got married."

"Damn you and your fidelity." Christina muttered.

"Hey." Meredith giggled "My fidelity is going to get all dressed up tonight and play sex games, fidelity is hot."

"So you're still ok with the whole single sex partner for the rest of your life then?"

"It's Derek." She said, "He could fuck my brains out and I can still manage to come back for more."

"So much for no details."

"I was speaking figuratively." Meredith said and then sighed "Look it was time…time to stop playing games and grow up. And the only person I want to grow up with is Derek."

"And grow old with."

"Derek will be a very hot old man." Meredith smirked "Which makes me think I should add a cane to the trunk."

"You're really sick and twisted deep down inside you know that?"

"Fully aware." She nodded "There's the room I gotta go."

"Later."

Meredith walked towards the door and noticed something missing. She saw the chair holding the door closed but no person in it. She ground her teeth as the intern walked around the corner sipping on a soda. He stopped rigidly as he spotted her glare.

"What are you doing!"

"I um.." he mumbled "Getting a soda."

"Not what I meant." She muttered "I mean what are you doing out of the chair that I ordered you to sit your ass in! Really Dr. Norbin, I didn't think that sitting on your ass was that hard of a task!"

"It's…it's not." He said "But I was thirsty, and I figured since they weren't going anywhere for a while I could go get a coke."

"What do you mean they're not going anywhere, they're probably clawing at the door by now?"

"Not really." He smirked. Meredith frowned and walked over to the door, reaching for the handle "I wouldn't do that if I were you?"

"Why the fuck…" she started to yell when she heard a soft moan come from the other side of the door. She gulped and pressed her ear to the door and heard it again.

"Oh Thatcher!" Ellis cried out "Oh yes! Yes! Just like that you dirty man!"

"Oh my god." Meredith gasped and jumped back from the door, she landed against a chest and recognized the smell immediately.

"Hey what's going on?" he asked, "I was just about to check on them."

"I'm sure they're fine." The intern grinned and snickered as he walked off.

Derek waited for Meredith to ream him but frowned when he noticed she was still and silent. "Mer?"

"You know how kids usually have a moment." She mumbled "When they walk in on their parents and it practically scars them for life?"

"Yeah." He frowned

"I never had a moment like that." She said, "Not until now..."

"Now?" he asked the question a second too soon and heard a loud moan roll out the door.

"OH THATCHER! GOD YES DON'T STOP!"

"Oh." He said slowly.

"Yeah."

He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the general vicinity and out of hearing reach. He turned her too him, her expression looking confused and traumatized.

"It's perfectly normal, they're adults. And they're…. making up."

"They've been divorced for 18 years!" she muttered "And god damn if I needed to hear that!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't think they would…. get along quite that well." He mumbled, she reached up and smacked his arm "Hey…at least they'll be in a good mood over dinner."

"I'm leaving." She muttered "I'm going to go to the store and buy gummy worms and sing nursery rhymes in hopes it gets the sounds from ringing over and over in my head. You shower them off and try to get them…. dressed or whatever."

"Meredith sex is natural." He sighed "Don't be upset."

"I know sex is natural." She snapped "And I like sex, I love sex, I enjoy sex. But thinking about my parents who are close to 60 going at it like teenagers at the prom…. no."
