Chapter 26: Day 25 of 28
Meredith yawns and sighs when she wakes up alone in the on-call room. It's been over two weeks since she's started sleeping in bed with Addison every night, and she feels something missing now when she isn't lying next to the redhead.
In her head, Meredith contemplates this; it's nearly the end of the time where Addison has to stay with her in Seattle, and she feels a sense of sadness at the thought of Addison leaving.
Of course, she's happy she'll have her kids back around the house. And she's happy that Addison will be reunited with Henry. She's just a bit nostalgic already for the times that they have been spending together just the two of them.
Falling in love again has made her feel so young and free.
It's a feeling she hasn't had in a long time, and that she wasn't sure she'd ever have again. Both of them getting to experience this is a great blessing.
Smiling, Meredith gets up to make herself a cup of coffee and gets ready for the day. She sorts through the extra clothes in her office, and she selects an outfit that she thinks Addison will like on her.
It's just scrubs, but she also puts on some light makeup and crystal stud earrings to make things more fancy.
She's about to head in when she receives a very exciting email.
You are invited to the online second wedding of Arizona Robbins & Callie Torres.
Exciting!
Meredith reads the details, notes that it's tomorrow evening, and she hopes that Addison is invited too so that she and Addison can tune in together.
She sends them each a text of congratulations, and she teases them about the last-minute planning.
"Well, we've actually been planning this for a while now," Callie texts back.
"We subtly asked everyone if they had tomorrow tonight off, and they did, and everyone's home anyway so we thought we'd liven things up," says Arizona.
With that exciting piece of information, Meredith heads off to the nurse's station to find out where she starts working today.
She's hoping to see Addison there, but she's already headed off to her cases.
The next time she sees Addison, it's because she gets a page from her.
"Whoa, what happened!?" Meredith bursts out laughing.
"I performed the Heimlich maneuver, and now I'm all stuck," Addison groans.
"I'm surprised you got it out if the patient was choking on this much gum," Meredith says affectionately.
"And now it's sticking all of my hair together!" Addison whimpers.
"Let's see what we can do," Meredith smiles.
"Did you get a message about Arizona and Callie's new wedding by the way?" Addison asks her.
"Yeah, I did," Meredith smiles.
"That'll be exciting," says Addison.
"It will be," says Meredith, as she puts some gloves on.
Meredith tries to de-tangle the gum from Addison's hair, but at first, she only succeeds at getting it more tangled.
"Okay, I looked it up and peanut butter is supposed to help," says Addison.
"I'll check the cafeteria," says Meredith.
"Alright," Addison smiles, and waits for her to get back.
Meredith emerges with some lunch packs of peanut butter, and starts to spread it over the gum in Addison's hair.
"Great, I'll be like a peanut butter cup for the afternoon," says Addison.
"Well, you smell delicious, not that you always don't, but you'll probably have to wash it off first in case a patient has allergies," Meredith laughs.
"True," says Addison.
"This is going to take some time, but I think we'll get there," says Meredith patiently, as she keeps detangling her girlfriend's hair.
"Thank you for this," says Addison.
"No problem. I'm glad I get to see you. I missed you last night," says Meredith.
"I missed you too."
The extra affection has Addison beaming.
"I thought I might find you here," Dr. Bailey pushes open the door.
"She got gum in her hair," Meredith motions to Bailey.
"I can see that," says Bailey.
"What's up?" Addison asks her.
"I need Grey for a surgery," says Bailey. "Sorry, but this gum isn't emergent," Bailey says sympathetically. "I can send someone down for you if you like," Bailey offers.
"It's okay, I'll try to get it out myself now," says Addison.
"Alright then," says Bailey, motioning for Meredith to follow.
"Just a sec," says Meredith. And then she leans in to very carefully kiss her girlfriend without getting gum on herself before she leaves.
"You two are so inseparable," Bailey shakes her head before she says "come on," to Dr. Grey.
Meredith follows her out, shooting a sympathetic look to Addison who is still carefully de-tangling.
Bailey prepares Meredith for the case as they ride up the elevator.
And then Bailey stops the elevator.
"Alright, you've got the next thirty seconds to talk to me about what you're gonna do about you and Addison," says Bailey.
"Okay, so I don't want to be without her. It might be too early to ask her to move in with me. It might be hard on my kids if we move to LA, but we haven't talked about that. Both sets of kids seem happy for us, even Jake seems supportive and he has a new partner. But I don't know what it'll be like with us all starting to live together. We haven't had sex yet, but-" Meredith rambles on and on.
"Okay, let me amend that. You've got another ten seconds to talk about everything but your sex life," says Bailey.
"Okay, well, then I don't know who's supposed to make the next move here. Am I supposed to ask her? Or is she supposed to ask me?" Meredith says frustratedly.
"Well, I don't necessarily have any answers, but you seem to be good together, and I'll be there for you no matter what happens," says Bailey.
"Thanks," says Meredith. "But what if-" Meredith starts thinking of all the things that can possibly go wrong.
"Your thirty seconds is up. Sorry Grey, but we've got a patient to see," Bailey smiles.
"Okay," says Meredith. "But seriously, thank you."
Addison manages to get the gum out of her hair an hour or so later, after much detangling. And as planned, she takes a shower. And then she has a few minutes so she calls Callie.
"Hey Cal," says Addison.
"Hey Addie," says Callie.
"Congratulations on your new wedding," says Addison.
"Thanks," says Callie.
"Listen umm…" says Addison. "I know you must be super busy today, but I have a few questions," Addison asks nervously.
"Sure," says Callie.
"Meredith and I almost had sex last night, and I can't wait to do that, but I'm so nervous and I don't know what I'm doing," Addison confesses.
"Have you been experimenting at all?" Callie asks her.
"Yeah, but nothing with me touching her or her touching my… Vagina… Directly…" says Addison.
"Ah, I see," says Callie.
"And I was hoping for some advice," Addison sighs.
"Alright," says Callie. "Hold on, that's Arizona. She's probably got great advice too," says Callie.
"Alright," says Addison.
"Hey Addison," says Arizona, always with a chipper voice.
"Hey," says Addison. "So do you have any lesbian sex tips?" Addison asks her.
"I've got a trick or two," Arizona smiles. "Of course, it's different for everyone. But there are a few pointers," says Arizona.
"Like?" Addison asks earnestly.
"Okay, well communication is key, but you know that. Things to try are starting off broadly and with light touches first, before you get more precise," says Arizona.
"And If you get lost you can always go back to kissing. Kissing is always great," says Callie.
"True," says Addison.
"You might be different from your partner, so see what they like on themselves and see if you can try that," says Arizona.
"And if you find something good, keep doing that without changing it up for a while," says Callie.
"Okay," says Addison.
"I'm so excited for you!" says Callie.
"Yes, so exciting," says Arizona.
"Me too," says Addison. "Everything we've done up until now has been amazing, so I can't wait for what this is going to be like," Addison sighs happily.
"Well, good luck with it," says Arizona.
"We'll have to have a big gossip session soon," says Callie.
"Definitely," says Addison. "And hello to Sofia, as always," she adds.
"For sure," says Arizona.
"Alright, we got to go, but have fun," says Callie.
"Thanks, and thanks for the help," Addison smiles. "And congratulations!"
Meredith and Addison sneak in a few kisses here and there between work gigs, but mainly they are busy until the day ends.
Then they pack up, and head home, and find a box addressed to both of them on the doorstep:
Meredith Grey & Addison Montgomery
613 Harper Lane
Seattle
There's no return address, but when they open it they find that it's party favors for Arizona and Callie's wedding.
They must have had them shipped as a surprise.
"Whoa, cool," says Meredith as she opens the box. There's all sorts of party hats and photo props, and a pre-addressed envelope so they could send photos of themselves back to the couple.
"This is going to be so much fun," says Addison.
There's so much on both of their minds, but Meredith and Addison aren't quite ready to talk seriously yet about their futures.
So Addison helps Meredith prepare dinner.
"I've got this," Meredith promises. "You've been teaching me, and I've been learning," Meredith says confidently.
She's rolling burritos with filling and placing them on the pan.
"Do you want any help?" Addison asks her.
"No, I'm great. And no backseat cooking, I got this," says Meredith.
"You're becoming a chef, imagine that," says Addison.
"Yeah," says Meredith. "Well, not a chef yet. But I think I can make one thing without burning the place down!".
Meredith places the burritos in the oven, and sets the timer.
"Good work, Grey," Addison says.
"Let's see how they taste first," Meredith blushes.
"And now we have ten minutes," Addison says mischievously, as she steps closer to her girlfriend.
"Yes, we do," Meredith giggles, as she wraps her arms around Addison.
Addison carries Meredith to the kitchen table, where she lifts the blonde up, and then steps in between her legs.
"I want you, Meredith," Addison growls, as she tucks Meredith's hair behind her ear.
"I want you, too," Meredith smirks, as she wraps her arms around Addison's back.
"I find you so sexy while you're cooking," says Addison as she leans in for a kiss.
"How do you think I feel," Meredith teases lightly, as she closes her eyes.
Addison kisses Meredith, and runs her hands through the blonde's hair. Their first and only kiss so far today had been when Addison had her hair covered in gum. Now, they're both free of the gum, and they aren't at work, so Meredith weaves her hands through Addison's hair as well.
When Meredith slips her tongue into Addison's mouth, Addison lets out a strangled moan.
"Meredith-" Addison pants, as Meredith takes control from beneath her, and explores every inch of Addison's lips.
"Every time I saw you today, I wanted to kiss you, but we were so busy, and now I'm making up for it," Meredith whispers into Addison's ear as she drags her tongue along Addison's neck, and finally nibbles on the redhead's earlobe.
"Oh, yeah that's so good-" Addison moans, as Meredith pulls Addison's shirt loose, and sucks delicate marks on her shoulders where she knows her scrubs will cover them tomorrow.
"I like to know that you're mine. I like to see it-" Meredith husks, as she bites on Addison's shoulder.
"Yes, I like it. I like to feel it. I like to feel you," Addison whimpers.
Meredith continues to plant open-mouthed kisses over Addison's chest. She lifts Addison's shirt over her head, and teases Addison's breasts with her lips over her bra.
"You have the perfect chest," says Meredith, as she palms Addison's other breast. "Delightful," she purrs.
"Take it off-" Addison whispers.
"In the kitchen?" Meredith smirks.
"We're alone-" Addison gasps.
"We are, and I intend to take full advantage of that-" Meredith smiles, as she undoes the clasp of Addison's bra, and lets the garment fall to the floor.
Addison moans loudly as Meredith licks her breasts, and then blows cool air on them. "Look how fast those nipples stiffen for me-" Meredith smiles.
"For you- all for you-" Addison shudders.
"Good," says Meredith, as she latches her lips around Addison's nipple, and she sucks. "That's how I like it," she says, in between suckling on Addison's breasts.
Addison tugs Meredith closer, feeling off-balance as the blonde sits and fondles her tits while she leans against her and the kitchen table.
"Oh yeah-" Addison moans, as Meredith sucks her nipples as far into her mouth as they will go, and swirls her tongue around them.
They're hungry for each other after a day of waiting. Addison feels the arousal settling into her, brought right to the foreground.
"More- more-" Addison whimpers, as Meredith devours them. Meredith's hands run up and down the sides of Addison's hips and her waist as she does this, sending Addison into a frenzy.
Addison tangles her hands in Meredith's hair, and holds her mouth to her chest so she'll keep going.
"Mer, Mer- I'm close, I think I can come from just this-" Addison moans, as she closes her eyes and throws her head back, pushing her chest up into Meredith.
"Hmm?" Meredith hums against Addison's nipple, still smiling.
"Yes, yes-" Addison calls out as she gets closer. She's soaked through her panties, and her clit is on fire from all of this.
Just as Addison feels a familiar warmth coil in her belly, she vaguely hears the kitchen timer go off.
"Ooh, burritos," says Meredith, as she removes her lips from Addison's nipple.
"Whaaaa-" Addison protests, as the blonde hops off the table, and slides past her to remove their supper from the oven.
"Ooh, and they look like they came out well," Meredith says proudly.
"But-" Addison furrows her brow at the blonde.
"You're too cute. You'll get more of that later," Meredith says, as she kisses Addison on the nose. "For now, burritos!"
It's on purpose, just to get Addison even more aroused. Addison can tell, because Meredith is looking as smug as ever.
"Keep it off," Meredith proposes, as she watches Addison reach for her shirt. "It's only us, right?" Meredith grins.
"Alright," Addison smiles back. "But you too," she husks.
"Certainly," she says, as Meredith makes a big show of taking off her own shirt, and discarding her bra so her breasts pop out.
Addison's mouth waters, and she reaches to touch them, but Meredith shakes her head, and tells her to wait until after dinner.
"I cooked, let's eat," says the blonde.
"Fine," Addison sighs, as she digs into her meal.
"How does it taste?" Meredith asks, visibly insecure when she points to the cooking.
"It's good," says Addison. "I'm proud of you," she adds.
"Thanks," Meredith nuzzles Addison's neck with her head. "I wanted to show you I've been learning," she smiles.
"You definitely have been," Addison confirms.
"It's a big accomplishment," says Meredith. "I never thought I was going to get there," Meredith cheers.
"And yet, you did," Addison says proudly.
They eat in a calm quiet for a while, until Addison ends up dropping a little sauce on her chest.
"Let me get it," Meredith says wickedly, and Addison gulps.
Meredith leans in, and licks the sauce away from Addison's chest, pausing to nibble a little bit before she pulls away. Addison gasps, and lets out a loud moan.
"There, I got it," Meredith smiles.
She swears she can see the shade of Addison's eyes darken significantly.
After dinner, Meredith continues to extend the teasing by bringing out some ice cream, whip cream, strawberries, and chocolate sauce, and saying that she wants to eat it off Addison.
"Really?" Addison says with a breathy moan.
"Really," says Meredith, as she motions for Addison to lie down on the kitchen floor.
She gives Addison a pillow to rest her head on, and then she starts placing her ice-cream sundae on top of her chest.
"And some cream for each nipple!" Meredith announces, as she squeezes the whipped toping onto each of them.
"Do I get to taste?" Addison asks her.
"If you're good," Meredith promises.
"Okay," says Addison, as she tries not to squirm.
"Open wide," says Meredith, as she offers Addison a cherry, from her mouth.
"Mm," Addison says as she eats it, and then she moans louder when Meredith starts licking the whipped cream from her body.
"This is going to be cold, but I'll warm you right up," says Meredith, as she places a spoon of ice cream on Addison, before she eats that up too.
The temperature difference shocks Addison, and it makes her clench Meredith's hair.
"You like that?" Meredith asks her.
"Yeah-" Addison pants. "Can I have some?" Addison pouts.
"Yes you can," Meredith says, as she feeds her girlfriend some ice cream.
Meredith then reaches for the chocolate sauce, and she pours a drizzle of it from Addison's chin to her navel, and then she licks it off with open-mouthed kisses.
"Gahh-" Addison moans. "You're killing me here, Grey-" Addison whines.
"Patience," Meredith tuts. "We have all evening to-"
*** RING RING RING *** RING RING RING *** RING RING RING ****
"Hello-" says Carolyn Shepherd over the phone.
"Hi-" says Meredith, quickly composing herself.
"I was just wondering if you could help me with a few technical things before tonight's video call?" Carolyn inquires.
"Oh yeah sure, just- in a minute I'll call you back? Maybe ten minutes?" Meredith frets.
"Sure," says Carolyn. "Oh dear, you haven't forgotten have you?" She teases.
"N-no-" Meredith lies.
"Right, the video call with your kids and my kids!" Addison exclaims.
"Sounds like you might need a minute," Carolyn chuckles.
"Yeah we're just finishing dinner-" says Addison from the floor.
"I cooked burritos," says Meredith proudly.
"Lovely-" says Carolyn.
"Yeah, we'll call you back-" says Addison.
"Gotcha, hope I wasn't interrupting anything," says Carolyn.
"It's alright, uh- see you soon," says Meredith, as she hangs up the phone.
"Oh my goodness," says Addison.
"Thank goodness it didn't start as a video call, because you are still covered in sweets," says Meredith, as she licks more chocolate sauce off of Addison before she helps her up and into the shower.
Said shower is remarkably G-Rated, as Meredith and Addison rush to make themselves presentable as efficiently as possible while sharing a shower, and then clothes are thrown on just in time for their video call.
"Whew, we made it-" says Addison.
"We did-" says Meredith, chuckling.
Carolyn picks up the video call, with Meredith's instructions, and soon enough, Zola, Bailey, and Ellis appear on the screen.
"Hi mom, hi Addison," cheer the kids.
"Hey kids," says Meredith.
"Hiya," says Addison.
Jake answers next, and he has Henry propped up on his lap.
"Hi!" says Henry.
"Hello, little one," says Addison.
"Hey, I'm not so little," says Henry.
"Alright, my big one," Addison smiles.
"So, how are you all?" Meredith asks them.
"Good-" everyone cheers in chorus.
"How are you?" Zola asks them.
"We're doing great," says Addison.
"What did you do tonight?" Henry asks them.
"We were cooking," Meredith smiles.
"What did you make?" says Bailey.
"Burritos and ice cream, not together though," says Meredith.
"Can we see it?" Ellis asks them.
"Sure," Meredith says without thinking, and she shows them around the kitchen, which inevitably has whipped cream and chocolate sauce all over it.
"I bet mommy made that mess while cooking," says Ellis.
"Yeah, she's messy," says Bailey.
"Hey, be nice to your mom, she made this," says Addison.
"How did it get all over the floor?" says Zola.
"Well-" Addison apparently has no poker face because she blushes profusely.
"We had a food fight," says Meredith.
"Can we have a food fight?" Henry asks.
"Ooh, that seems messy," says Jake.
"So have you all been getting along?" Meredith asks them.
"Yeah," says Ellis.
"Can we go visit Zola, Bailey, and Ellis?" Henry blurts out.
"Soon, probably," says Jake neutrally.
"We're hoping so," Addison and Meredith say.
"Cool, we can have a sleepover!" says Bailey.
"Yeah," says Ellis.
"Cool," says Zola.
"Alright, it's about time for bed everyone. We'll probably chat again really soon," says Addison.
"Byeeeee," says Henry.
"Night," says Bailey.
"Toodles," says Ellis.
The younger children walk away, and only Zola is left on the screen.
"Goodnight Zozo, sweet dreams," Meredith waves.
"Were you two actually having a food fight?" Zola squints at them.
Addison covers her face with her hands, and Meredith bites her lip at that.
"SERIOUSLY!?" says Zola. "IN OUR KITCHEN!?" Zola scoffs, and then she apologizes, and says goodnight again before hanging up the phone.
"We probably should clean up the kitchen," Meredith smiles.
"Yeah, probably," Addison giggles.
The cleanup process takes several hours, and there's lots of kissing going on in between. And when they arrive at the end of it, both of them are so tired they just want to go to bed so they can be ready for work tomorrow.
"Are you okay if we save sex for another day?" Meredith asks Addison.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I mean, you did get to eat ice cream off of my stomach today," says Addison.
"True," says Meredith. "And I'm gonna-" Meredith whispers some naughty things into Addison's ear that make her blush before she turns out the lights, and brings Addison close so she can spoon her.
"I'm so glad you're here with me tonight," says Addison.
"Me too," says Meredith.
"I love you," says Addison.
"I love you too," says Meredith.
And they kiss each other goodnight before they fall asleep together.
