Disclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, that honour goes to the wonderfully talented Shonda Rhimes. Nor do I claim any ownership to the song 'Honest,' sung by Kendell Payne. In my dreams, however, McDreamy and even McSteamy are all mine!
A/N: OK, so I decided to turn this oneshot into a full fic, so here goes: As I haven't seen any episodes with either one of them yet, Callie and Denny don't exist for the purposes of my story. George and Meredith never slept together, Alex and Izzie are back together, oh, and Burke never got shot too. The reason I've changed this so much is because I haven't seen the episodes with these events in them, and I wouldn't want to write something that doesn't fit in with what has happened, but still continue with what has happened, if that makes ANY sense at all to you wonderful readers. BTW, Italics are thoughts and bold italics are songs. So, R&R, and enjoy, of course! P.S. please excuse any bad medical speak – I'm a law student, not a med one!
Previously on "In Each Other's Arms…"
Arriving at Addison's Office, Mark could see her sitting at her desk, her head resting in her hands. She looked up and saw him, blinking a few times to test her vision. He walked in the door as she stood up, and waited for her to come to him. She walked over to him, hardly believing her eyes. Sweeping her up in a huge embrace, he acted on instinct. When he started to kiss her, she didn't push him away. Leaning past him, she closed the door while they kissed, stealing them away from the prying eyes of Bailey's interns and the rest of the hospital.

Boy know your place.
Lies do not become us.
Real is more attractive than a slick and polished mask.
Girl dig down deep,
I know there's more between us.
There's bound to be a question
You're just dying for me to ask.
"OH my god, tell me that she DID NOT close the door!" Izzie was incredulous, and she wasn't the only one. "I mean, how are we supposed to know what's going on in there if we can't see in!"
"I know, this is the second time today that they've done this. Don't they know that we have needs, truly important gossipy needs that must be fulfilled?"
"Shut up Yang. We all know what they're doing in there, and to be honest with you, I wouldn't mind getting some myself…" Casting his eyes over at Izzie, Alex checked to see whether heard him.
"Alex, you've got dirty in your eyes again, and we all know what happens when you get dirty in your eyes, so you need to stop right now before I make a fool of myself with you right here, right now."
"You know I wouldn't mind that sweetie," drawled Alex, much to Christina's disgust.
"Stop, before I puke all over your clean blue scrubs, ok!"
"Guys, maybe we should just give them some privacy. It's obvious they want it."
"Trust you to say something like that Bambi." Nobody heard Meredith approaching them. Seeing her friends standing around, doing nothing, she could tell that something was going on. It had to be something more than a quiet board.
"Hey guys, what's up? What's going on?" Jumping at the sound of Meredith's voice, the other interns shushed her, lest she drew Bailey's attention towards them for doing something wrong again that day.
If you can be honest
I can be too.
If you'll take the first step
I'll follow you through.
But no one wants to bleed.
No one wants to hide.
No one wants to hurt alone inside.
Deciding to tell Meredith the truth, no matter how she might feel about it, Izzie began to talk. "Well, McSteamy went into Addison's office about ten minutes ago and they started to kiss. About two seconds later, Addison shut the door, while still kissing him mind you, and closed all the blinds. We're trying to figure out what they're doing in there."
"God Izzie, how many times do we have to tell you, they're having sex, which is what you and I should be doing right now."
"Who's having sex?" Walking up behind the interns, Derek went to put his arms around Meredith, pinching her on the butt as he got closer. Dirty was obviously on his mind too.
"Alex, get rid of the dirty. We're not gonna have sex right now. Get over it." Turning to Derek, Izzie knew that he wouldn't want to hear the answer to his question, but decided to tell him anyway. She liked to watch him squirm. "Well Dr. Shepherd, in answer to your question, that would be Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Sloane having sex, as we speak, in Dr. Montgomery's office. Satisfied?"
Child don't close your eyes
The truth contains much beauty
And though it scars your soul
It can heal the wounds it makes
You've been deceived to think
That pain is to be dreaded,
And you've got nothing left.
It'll give more than it takes.
"Oh, I didn't need to hear that, that was an overshare! I don't need that image in my mind. And now it's bringing back all the memories of when I caught them in Manhattan. Great." Derek was anything but enthusiastic at this. "Hey Meredith, how about we go into the on-call room and pick up where we left at prom? You know you want to…"
"Can't, you've got patients to go see. Looks like whatever you said to Mark and what I said to Addison must have made an impression on them!"
"Or, they're having hot, emotional, pent-up, angry sex like we did at prom. Like we could be having now." Smiling at her in his McDreamy manner, Derek could see that he was having an effect on Meredith. She looked ready to pull him into the nearest empty room, and probably would've done so if Alex's sniggers hadn't brought her back to her senses.
"Okay, that's enough dirty talk for now, it's time for you to go Derek." As she said this, she pushed him away, down the halls and walked back to her friends. Feeling his eyes watching her walk, she called out over her shoulder, "Stop looking at me, we know how much trouble that can lead to!"
"That's trouble I can handle," he answered as he walked away, leaving behind an embarrassed Meredith whose friends had forgotten about Mark and Addison and were now staring at her, demanding details with the looks in the eyes.
"Okay Meredith, spill. What did McDreamy mean when he said 'pick-up where we left off at prom'? Are you telling me that you two haven't slept together since." Never one to beat around the bush, Christina asked the question that everybody wanted to hear the answer to.
If you can't find a peace
I'll help find it for you
I don't know how,
But one thing that's sure
Is I won't leave you now.
"Well," Meredith began, "Derek and I have been taking it slow since we got back together. We never took it slow the first time – we were supposed to have a one night stand for crying out loud! Talk about your one night stands coming back to bite you on the ass!"
"No, I think the one night stand that came back to bite you on the ass was the guy whose penis you broke – remember him! God, and then you had to tell Shepherd about the two of you. Classic!" At the look on Meredith's face, Alex decided that it was time for him to leave. He hadn't counted on Meredith chasing him down the hallway, attempting to catch him to hit him, and they ran away from the others watching them with bemused looks on their faces.
If you can be honest
I can be too
If you take the first step
I'll follow you through
No one wants to bleed
No one wants to hide
