Chapter 10 – Lie With Me
Meredith walked with Bailey and the other interns on her way to start rounds, they exited the locker room and walked down a corridor when Addison walked along them.
"Dr. Bailey, can I have Grey?"
"Grey, go."
Meredith stoped and turned, moving to Addie, "Something you needed Dr. Montgomery?"
Addison smiled, "Hello to you too,"
"Sorry, I'm in professional mode." Meredith sighed, "I'm exhausted. Someone kept me up all night."
Addison kissed her softly, "Well, you weren't complaining."
Meredith laughed, "What do you need Addie?"
"Molly has just been admitted for an emergency c-section."
"What?" Since meeting her sister, Meredith had made time for her family, for Mindy's benefit, so she called Molly once a week and checked up on her and entertained her, when she had Mindy they visited Molly for an hour or two, and she let Thatcher take Mindy to the zoo with Susan once.
Addison knew Meredith was starting to get close to Molly, to consider her a friend at the very least. She reached forward and took her girlfriends hand and squeezed it, "It's a c-section Mere."
"And you're the best." Meredith nodded, "Thanks Addie, for telling me."
Addison nodded, "Susan is here too. With her."
"Ok." Meredith nodded, "Thanks Addie."
"Hello, Meredith." At the third voice Mere turned and saw Susan smiling nervously at her,
"Hi Susan,"
"Your father's not here. He's at Harvard Med visiting Lexie. We thought we had a lot of time I mean, Molly's only 36 weeks along, and Dr. Montgomery has been trying to stop the contractions but I guess the baby's ready to come."
Mere nodded and turned to Addie, "Do you need anything else or..."
"Actually I could use an intern for this case. Can you ask Dr. Bailey for someone?"
Mere nodded, "I can do that." She gave Susan a smile, "I have to… I have work."
Susan nodded, "Of course, go, save lives."
Meredith smiled, "Ok," She turned to Addie, "Keep me updated?"
"I will."
"Ok, thanks." She kissed Addie's check, and walked away,
Addison smiled and saw Susan looking at her curiously, "Meredith and I are dating… we live together."
"Oh, well, I guess this is your niece then."
Addison smiled, "Yea, now, you'll need scrubs and a cap Molly's probably ready in the OR."
"I'm going to be a grandmother."
"Yes, in about half an hour you will be a grandmother." Addison smiled,
"Okay...here we go."
"Here we go."
Meanwhile in another part of the hospital, Meredith ran to catch up with the rest of the group which was Cristina short.
"Dr. Bailey, Addison has requested an intern for an emergency c-section."
"What's wrong with you?" Bailey asked,
"Uhh, my half-sister is her patient…"
Bailey nodded, "Right ok, uhh… O'Malley, go."
George nodded and moved off; Bailey looked at her remaining interns, Izzie, Alex and Mere, "Do not make me regret showing you what's behind this door. And trust me. You want to see what's behind this door."
They nodded and she turned the handle, inside the patient room where two adult men. Twins. Conjoined twins.
They rounded the case with the chief, Derek and Mark then left the room.
"I'm calling it. It's mine." Grinned Alex,
"Dr. Shepherd says I have great potential in Neuro." Meredith pointed out,
"I would be great at watching this." Izzie grinned,
"Zip-it, all of you." Bailey snapped at them,
"We're all on the case right?"
"Right." They grinned, Izzie let out a 'yes!' and Alex smirked, 'awesome,' "Stevens you are to-"
"Look and not speak or touch or breathe. I got it." Grinned Izzie,
"So this is the crack team?" Mark asked as he walked to them,
"Feel free to take one."
"I think I'll take the one who doesn't speak or touch or breathe."
Izzie nodded and followed Mark into a stair weld, "Thank you...for picking me. Even just observing..."
"I thought you might be fun to look at while I work, Bethany."
Izzie rolled her eyes, but she was determined to keep this professional, "It's Dr. Stevens, Izzie Stevens." She told him, "So, will you be working on both the skin graft and the nerve reconstruction?"

Meredith was standing in an OR watching as Derek, Mark, Bailey and the chief stood over a dummy preparing for the surgery. Her pager went off.
"Grey?" Asked Bailey,
Baby has Jujenal Atresia meet me at Molly's room. G
"It's George… The baby has Jujenal Atresia. Oh my God."
She looked up at the chief, "My niece might… I have to be with Molly."
He nodded, "Take the day."
"Thank you chief." She left quickly and made her way to Molly's room, George stood in the hallway out of their sight, when he saw Meredith he moved to her,
"You ok?"
"Are you?"
They moved into the room and Molly and Susan looked up, "How is our baby?"
Meredith moved and sat next to Molly, taking her hand, George started to speak, "She has an intestinal obstruction which is why she couldn't breathe. Dr. Montgomery is operating on her now, I'll be coming back to give you updates." He left with a sad smile at Meredith,
"I can't do this." Cried Molly, "I can't do this."
"Yes you can, Molly." Meredith promised,
"We're right here and dad's on the way." Susan added,
Hours later Addison was still in surgery, George shifted from his position observing the surgery, Callie walked in with a mask held over her face,
"Dr. Torres, can I help you?" Addison asked,
"I was told to let Dr. O'Malley know that his father has been taken into surgery now."
"What?" George's head snapped up,
"Burke is doing his surgery with Yang now."
"Dr. Montgomery?"
"Yes O'Malley?"
"Can I scrub out? I need to be with my mother." She looked up at him, and nodded, "Thank you. Uhh… What should I tell Molly… Meredith?"
Addison sighed, "Tell Meredith… Tell them both I'm doing the best I can."
* * *
Addison walked down the halls, she turned a door handle and opened the door of Molly's room. The three women looked up,
"How is she?" asked Molly, "Please tell me good news, please tell me she'll be ok."
"The baby-"
"Laura." Molly said, "I named her Laura."
Addison smiled softly, "Laura, will need some recovery time, but she should be just fine."
Molly stared for a mount then broke into a grin, tears of joy filling her eyes, Meredith smiled and squeezed her sister's hand, and Susan jumped up, "Oh thank you! I was so scared. Oh thank you!" She moved and she hugged Addison, who smiled and accepted the hug,
Susan let go and hugged her daughter happily as Meredith stood and moved to Addie, "You… Thank you Addison, thank you so much."
Addison nodded and pulled Meredith into her arms, "You're welcome, Baby."
Meredith met her niece that night and she smiled with Addison, Molly and Susan were too focused on Laura to notice that the couple were more focused on themselves rather than their baby niece.
"I have a friend" Addison murmured, "In LA,"
Meredith smiled, "I know about your friend in LA, you're fertility specialist friend."
Addison smirked, "And…"
"And yea, when we decide we're ready we'll go see her. But not now, not while I'm an intern."
Addison nodded, she looked at her almost sister-in-law, "Look at her."
"She went through hell today." Meredith murmured, "I can't… If Mindy..." She sighed,
"I know." Addie said, she wrapped her arm around Mere's waist and Meredith rested her head on Addie's shoulder, "I know. I feel it too."
Meredith smiled, "You're a good mum Addie."
"So are you."
They pecked softly and Susan looked up from her seat next to Molly and smiled at the two. They were so obviously happy. At peace with everything around them. They had a deep and obvious connection. They were in love.
