A/N I'm not sure if this chapter is any good but needed to take my mind off stuff so wrote it :)
Enjoy much love
Alex, George and Jackson all looked at Meredith with blank expressions. "She's" George said "Your" Alex joined in "Wife" Jackson asked still stunned. Christina walked over to the group and looked at Meredith and started laughing "Mer stop screwing with them, you're not married or gay for that matter." Meredith looked at Addison and could see the hurt on her wife's face. Addison didn't even look at Meredith she just walked away towards the on call room. Meredith looked at her friends and then at her wife she had to choose between explaining to them or saving her marriage.
Meredith ran down the corridor to the one call room she tried to open the door but Addison had locked it. "Addison open this door" Meredith snapped. "NO GO AWAY" Addison shouted back. Meredith started to bang the door "Addison I am not leaving until you open the door" she replied. Meredith knew her wife was stubborn and the look on Addison's face when Christina said she wasn't married gave Meredith an idea that Addison wouldn't be coming out of that room for a while. "ADDISON GREY MONTGOMERY IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS DOOR I WILL BREAK IT DOWN" Meredith threatened. Meredith looked back to see her friends were watching everything that was happening. "Addison let me explain, just open the door baby" Meredith pleaded. Addison unlocked the door and Meredith pushed it open "Baby, I'm so sorry just let me explain" she sobbed. Addison looked at Meredith and walked past her wife not even saying a word. Meredith was just about to run after Addison when Richard walked around the corner.
Meredith looked at her dad and collapsed to the floor in tears. Richard leant down and wrapped his arms around his daughter. "Meredith what's happened?" he asked. "Addison...Knows...I...didn't...tell...Anyone...we ...were...Married" she sobbed. Richard picked Meredith up off the floor and led her to his office he closed the door and looked at his daughter he couldn't believe how broken she looked. "Meredith tell me what happened" Richard asked. "Well...Everyone..." she started to sob "Stop crying and then tell me" he interrupted her. Richard walked over to his desk and grabbed a box of tissues and a bottle of scotch out of the draw and poured a glass for Meredith. Meredith looked up at her father "WHY HAVE YOU GOT A BOTTLE OF SCOTCH DAD?" she shouted. Richard looked at his daughter and there was a fire in her eyes that scared him "Meredith It was a present for Marks birthday but you need it more" he replied. "Oh that's okay then" she muttered. "Hey you've stopped crying" Richard laughed "well when I think my dad might be drinking again I get angry not sad" she replied. Meredith downed the whole glass of scotch and started drinking it from the bottle. Richard took the bottle out of Meredith's hand "you might be old enough to drink but I'm not letting you drink yourself into oblivion" he nagged. "It's the only thing that will help" she sighed. "Meredith I know what alcohol does and help is not one of the things" he said "now tell me what happened." Meredith grabbed a tissue and wiped her eyes "everyone was talking about this sexy woman that was walking around the halls, so the boys had a bet to see which one could pull her" Meredith explained. "Go on" Richard said. "When we were all changing in the locker room, April said that the woman was a leggy red head who was our new OBGYN. I put 2 and 2 together and worked out it was Addison so I ran up to the 3rd floor nurses station and asked them why they were hitting on my wife and then Christina said I weren't married and then Addison freaked out" she sighed. Meredith stood up and walked towards the door but Richard grabbed her wrist "Mer just give her some space" he said. "Dad when have you known me to give anyone space" Meredith replied. He looked at Meredith and sighed "that is true you're like your mother when it comes to giving people space." Meredith looked at Richard and sighed "do you think Addison will forgive me?" Richard put his hand on Meredith's knee looked his daughter in the eye and said "Meredith Montgomery Grey you and your wife will be fine, you have been through a lot in the last 9 years and only the strongest couples stay together through everything." Meredith smiled at her dad kissed him on the cheek "thanks dad you always know what to say, I'm going to go home and have a shower, grab some food and maybe go to sleep." "I think that might be a good idea, then you and Addison can sort everything out in the morning" he replied. Meredith stood up and walked towards the door "night dad, love you" she said. "I love you to Meredith, good night."
Meredith arrived home and looked around the house to see if Addison was in but the house was empty. She walked over to the fridge pulled out some leftover pizza and warmed it up. She picked up her phone and rang Addison but it went straight to voice-mail "Addison when you get this ring me!" Meredith demanded. Meredith walked upstairs and decided the shower could wait all she really wanted to do was sleep. She led down on her bed not even bothering to take her clothes off or get under the covers she let sleep take over her, hoping that tomorrow would be a better day.
