here's a quick (and kinda short) update for you!

Chapter Five – Bursting Into Life

Meredith and the interns stood in the locker room getting ready for their day of work, talking about Izzie and her 8.7 million dollar check she got from Denny in his will.

"She's losing it." Meredith said, "She almost battered and deep-fried an 8 and a half million dollar check this morning."

Cristina smiled wistfully, "With that kind of money, I'd buy my own hospital and stock it full of sick people. Vavuloplasties and ruptured aneurysms. Hmm."

George lent don and murmured to her, "You are a psycho, you know that, right?"

"I'm not the one with an 8 million dollar check I won't cash."

"Stop talking about me." Izzie said from behind the lockers where she sat, "I'm fine. I'm cleaning out my locker and I'm going home. Mere is the one with the problems."

Meredith looked up and Izzie walked around so they were all in the one section of the locker room, "What's wrong with me?"

"You keep making out with Addison but refuse to date her."

"You're still not with her?"

Alex smirked, "Dude, get yours already."

"She's scared."

"I am not scared." Meredith defended, "Cristina's the one with the problems, Burke's having more surgery today!"

Cristina glared at her, "Hey! I don't have problems, Burke is Burke, he'll be fine." They all looked at her, "Izzie's the one with the big check!"

* * *

Izzie walked through the halls of the hospital with George, trying to tell him she didn't need a baby sitter. A door ahead of them opened and Izzie saw a woman straddling a man, Addison walked out of the room.

"Are they having sex?"

"They were." Addison commented, "Divorced for five years, now they're just fighting."

George frowned, "They're divorced and they're still having sex?"

"Kinda like you and Mere." Izzie laughed, Addison gave her a look, "Oh that was rude, that was a rude thing to say, I'm sorry."

"Something you wanted Isobel?"

"No. I'm just hanging out with my baby sitter." Izzie indicated George,

"I'm not babysitting you." George said,

"You're so babysitting me."

Addison shook her head at their bickering and walked away,

* * *

Meredith sighed and fell into a chair, her patients, the stuck divorced couple, were now unstuck, but the man, Adam, was having surgery.

Addison walked over and sat next to her.

"We're as bad as them you know." Meredith said idly,

"What?"

"Those two have been divorced five years and still they're going at it like teens at the prom." Addison gave her a look, "So to speak."

"We haven't been-"

"We've been dancing around each other for years."

Addison sighed, "We really are like them aren't we?"

Meredith lent over, resting her head on Addison's shoulder, "I can't help it if you're irresistible."

"Irresistible?"

Meredith nodded, "You are. You're irresistible."

"So why are you resisting?"

Meredith laughed, "Because I don't want to ruin us. I don't want to rush it."

Addison turned her head and pressed a kiss to the top of Meredith's head, "I want you in my bed tonight." She whispered,

Meredith smiled and stood up, "I'm gonna go watch in the gallery, wanna come?"

Addison shook her head, "I'll see you at home."

* * *

Later that night Meredith rolled onto her back breathing heavily, a satisfied smile on her lips.

"Wow." Addison breathed, "That was…"

"Yea."

Addie grinned and rolled onto her side, smirking lustfully at Meredith, "So, are we a couple yet?"

Meredith laughed, "I don't know, I'm not convinced."

"Not convinced?"

Meredith gave her a coy grin, "Maybe you better persuade me."

Addison laughed, but she rolled over, on top of Meredith and claimed the blonde's lips once more, her hands wandering down her body.
