Chapter 11 – Say Hello
"Do you like abusing the interns? Is it fun for you?" Addison mocked Mark, leaning between him and Alex as she placed Laura Grey's chart on the bench of the nurse's station,
"Yes. It is. And just in case you've forgotten, you don't get to high-horse this week Addison, not this week." He walked away and Addison's heart stopped. She hadn't forgotten. She couldn't forget. But… she had forgotten his part in it.
"He's an ass." Alex told her softly,
She turned, holding back tears, "Not this week." She said simply before walking away,

That day at lunch Meredith saw Mark sitting alone in a corner looking upset, she frowned and moved, placing her tray on the table and sitting next to him.
"Hey Mark," She smiled, "Have you met my baby niece? Addie delivered her yesterday." Mark didn't say anything, not that Mere minded, she just continued to talk, "There was a bit of a scare but… Yea she should be fine now. I think. Addison is keeping me in the loop, cos well she's Addie's niece too."
Meredith paused to eat, then went on, "Addison and I we're… We're serious now. Properly. Actually. We may even get married. And I… I see us having kids together. And yea I have- we have Mindy, did I tell you about that? Mindy saw us kissing a couple of months ago and asked if Addison was her mum too, and we said we'd tell her when, and now it's when so Mindy calls Addison Mummy now. If we're both there is Mummy Addison and Mum Mummy, she's really cute and I think it means a lot to Addie." Mark ate quietly, his hands tightening over his sandwich,
"Addison's always wanted to be a mother you know? Like when I had Mindy, Addison was telling me she'd quit and we could be a family, I could finish school and go to college and she'd look after Mindy at home and when she was older she could eventually go back and we'd have a nanny while I was in class and whatever but… Well I was only eighteen I didn't want to put Mindy through that kind of child hood." Meredith sighed,
"And then I moved and Addie and I broke up and she met Derek. I think that's why they never had children, because I rejected her as being Mindy's mother so she convinced herself that neither of us were ready so she… I don't know. I feel horrible for doing that but I suppose it's better this way. Especially since now we can have our own babies and not have to worry about Derek. God. Can you imagine me as a mother, I mean like a full time mother… Wow." Meredith beamed now,
"Go away."
"Mark-"
"No. You do not get to talk to me. Not about Addison. Not about your love life. You are an intern, and I am your attending. Go. Away."
"Mark what are you talking about? We're friends; everyone in this hospital knows it."
"You are not my friend Meredith, you're just some pregnant girlfriend of Addison's I took pity on and fucked occasionally."
Meredith glared at him, and walked away from him angrily, she had no idea why he was being like this but she could play mean too.

The next morning Meredith walked into her room after having a shower, dressed in jeans and a peach ¾ sleeve shirt. Addison smiled at her from where she sat on the bed, putting gold earring in her ears.
"Are you trying to make us late for work?" Meredith smirked,
"What?"
Meredith pulled back her wet hair in a hair tie then moved to the bed, walking on her knees until she was right behind Addison, she started to kiss Addison's neck softly, "You look gorgeous."
Addison smiled and tilted her head slightly to give Mere more access to her neck, "Flattery will get you everywhere Grey."
"Is that right, Dr. Montgomery?"
Addison laughed slightly and Meredith moved around to sit on Addie's lap instead, her legs wrapped around Addison's waist. They kissed softly and deeply, Addison let out a loud moan and Meredith's hand cupped her breast over the orange top she was wearing.
"Meredith," She gasped, "Mere,"
Meredith smiled and continued to kiss Addison deeply, until she knew Addison was about to loose self control, and then she stoped and pulled away, whispering "I love you Addie." Before pecking her quickly, getting up and running down the stairs quickly,
"Meredith!" Addison yelled, she moved after her girlfriend and found Meredith in the living room, "That was just… mean."
Meredith smiled, "What was mean."
"You. Touching… Getting me…" Addison was flushed in the face and Meredith knew she was just about ready to jump her there in the living room where Izzie or Alex could just walk in.
Meredith walked forward and kissed Addison once softly, "I'll take care of it for you later."
* * *
That night Addison lay in her bed naked, Meredith curled into her, both of them extremely satisfied. Meredith was asleep, snoring loudly, and Addison just… She had to tell Meredith. But she couldn't.
Tears filled her eyes and she cried softly, she cried for hours unable to fall asleep until she was to tied to cry anymore and she just lay there unable to do anything.
She finally fell asleep but was immediately woken by the alarm, "Ergh…" She groaned,
Meredith shut the alarm off and kissed Addison softly before sitting up and stretching, "Morning Addie,"
Addison groaned, "Coffee."
Meredith frowned, "You ok baby?"
"Couldn't sleep." Addison murmured, rolling over and wrapping her arms around Meredith's waist,
Meredith sighed sympathetically and kissed Addison's forehead before standing and wrapping a robe over her body and heading downstairs to get Addie coffee.
Later that day Meredith walked into the NICU to find her father talking to Laura quietly, he smiled embarrassedly, "It gets quiet in here."
She nodded and moved to stand opposite him, looking down at her niece, "Her abdomen looks a little distended," she frowned, "Nurse," the nurse who was charting came over, "Does her abdomen look distended?"
"A little, Dr. Grey."
"Her stomach's distended? I didn't notice that." Thatcher said worriedly,
"It's hard to see." Mere told him, "Page Dr. Montgomery now please." The nurse moved to make the page,
"Is everything OK? Is that bad?"
"Let's just wait for Addison." Meredith said, ten minutes later said red head was walking into the NICU,
"Talk to me."
"Her abdomen was distended and she needed increased ventilatory support." Meredith told her, I paged Alex too but Addie, Look at her X-Rays."
"She's got massive free air trapped beneath her diaphragm. Mr. Grey we need to take Laura in for surgery."
"What another surgery? Why?" Thatcher panicked,
"Her x-rays indicate that there's a perforation in the bowel. We need to get in there right away."
"Here's a form we need you to sign." A nurse said handing it to him as Alex walked in, "I was paged,"
"I don't...I ...her mother has the flu." Thatcher stared at Meredith, his eyes were scared,
"Meredith," Addison said,
"I'm not authorized to sign," Meredith told her, "He is,"
"I need to… her mother."
"We don't have time for you to do that now Mr. Grey. Your granddaughter doesn't have time." Thatcher looked terrified,
"Dad!" He looked up, Meredith was staring at him, "Dad sign the damn papers!"
"All right."
* * *
The surgery went well and Alex stood looking over Laura gently Addison entered, "Karev."
"Oh hey. I was just checking on the baby's capillary refills. It sucks. It's like she hasn't had a chance to deserve this, you know."
Addison gave him a small look as she walked closer, "Is that why you wanted to go into plastics? Because people sign up for the pain they get."
"Yeah. For the most part they do, yeah."
"You're right." She said, "It does suck watching them struggle. And that part never stops sucking. But then you get to see a baby heal and they get to go home and you just imagine this whole life that they're going to live… Have I ever told you why I choose my specialty?"
"No."
She smiled, "Meredith." she sighed softly, "I fell in love with an eighteen year old pregnant girl and… When Meredith had her baby I was there, I delivered her. And…" Addison bit her lip, she had her heart broken, but she wouldn't tell Alex that, "She went home and she's had a whole life and there's… Well there's noting better than that. And that part never changes. But if you want to go back to plastics..."
"Nah. The vanilla Latte? I did that on purpose."
"Why?"
"Cause he was rude to you."
They were close. Very close. Addison frowned slightly; Alex seemed to be getting closer. His eyes dropped to her lips and she knew what he was going to do.
She slapped him.
Meredith walked in, "Hey, how is she? Thatcher is getting pretty… he's worried and so's Molly and I just thought I'd ask."
Addison smiled at her, "She's well we're going to monitor her but she's fine for now."
Meredith smiled, "Good, thanks." She moved forward and kissed Addison softly, "I love you."
"Love you too Mere." Addison murmured, Meredith smiled and left.
