Chapter 18 – Life Is Life
Meredith stood in the intern locker room talking to Izzie about Alex, Addison, and Mark when Cristina, George and Alex walked in.
"Huh, look who found some clothes." Alex grinned at Izzie; he'd walked in on her in the shower that morning. Izzie glared at him,
George gave Mere a soft look, "How you doing?"
"Ok, everybody, lets do this once." Meredith said, "I'm fine. She's cremated, I picked out a beautiful urn and she's hanging out in the back of my closet. Any more questions about my dead mother or can we get back to work?"
"Does anyone know who the new chief candidate is?" Cristina asked,
"Chief's bringing in a ringer in case he doesn't want to give the job to either one of your fiancé's." George grinned at Cristina and Mere,
Bailey walked into the room and looked at them all, "O'Malley, your with Shepherd today; Yang, Dr. Montgomery; Stevens, to the clinic; Karev, Jane Doe; Grey, scut.
"Once again, I am fine." Meredith said imploringly
"You can tell everybody your fine till you're blue in the face. Your mum died and you almost joined her, you're taking it easy."
Addison walked in behind her, "Exactly," she smiled, "Now, who's my intern today?"
Cristina gave Addison a small nod, the two walked off, Meredith running after them, "Addie,"
"Yeah baby?"
"Wanna have lunch with me today? Away from here I mean,"
Addison grinned, "Sounds good Mere,"
Meredith grinned and took Addison in a kiss; Cristina rolled her eyes at the couple, "Ergh, if I wanted to see girl on girl I'd watch porn."
Meredith pulled back and glared at her, "You're just jealous 'cause Addison's hotter then Burke."
Addison laughed, and Cristina just dead panned.
"Well," sighed Mere, "I'm on scut, so I'll get off pretty easily, page me."
"Ok," They kissed again and Meredith turned away and moved off in the opposite direction.
"God," Cringed Cristina, "Do you two have to be so sickening?"
Addison gave her a look, "I may be marrying your best friend Yang, but I'm still your boss."
Cristina nodded, "Of course, Dr. Montgomery-Grey."
A huge grin pulled at Addison's blushing face, "Thank-you, Dr. Burke."
"Oh that's just cruel." Cristina said before the two women laughed loudly,
At lunch time Meredith found Addison leaning against a nurse's station dressed in navy blue scrubs, she grinned and moved close to her, kissing her cheek and whispering in her ear, "Ready to go?"
Addison smiled and took Meredith's hand, "Of course."
"So I just agreed to have dinner at my father's house, tonight." Meredith said, "And, Cristina slept with Colin Marlow."
"The Marlow transplant, Marlow?"
"They had a thing when she was a student." Meredith shrugged, "How can I have a meal at my father's house?"
"Cristina slept with Marlow?"
"Addison!"
"Oh, right, ok, sorry." laughed Addie, "Have dinner at our house. I'll cook, it'll be fun." Meredith gave her a look, "Ok, it won't be fun. It'll be...it'll be fine. They're your family."
"Why does everyone assume that?"
Addison laughed, "You've accepted Molly and Laura, Mere, and he's your father. You deserve to have a father Meredith."
Meredith sighed, "Ok, but you're telling them we're engaged." Addison laughed,
"Ok baby."
Meredith walked into the dinning room with a dish of chicken and beans she set it on the table and sat down next to Addison who reached over under the table and gave Meredith's thigh a reassuring squeeze.
"Oh, chicken looks delicious." Susan said with a smile,
Addison smiled, "It's nothing, just from the store, we didn't have time to do anything huge."
"Well the green beans look great as well."
"Addie did those."
"It's beautifully presented." Thatcher put in looking hopefully at Mere,
"I did that too." Addison smiled, rubbing Mere's leg softly,
Alex walked in and Addison almost laughed at how desperate Meredith must have been as she stood up quickly and exclaimed "Alex! Come, sit. Eat! We're eating. This is Susan and this is my father."
Alex nodded at Susan and Thatcher and sat down; "Cool."
"So, how are you? How was your day?"
"Ok, hungry."
"Good." Meredith sighed and looked at Addie,
"How's Laura?" Addison asked,
"Great." Susan grinned,
Thatcher seemed to relax slightly and he smiled, "She's smiling now sometimes. Looks exactly like Molly when she smiles. I mean it's amazing." He grinned and went on to describe how alike the two were, "I've got this old picture of Molly and me when she was, I don't know, five, and she's sitting on this red sled in the snow, this great big fir tree."
Meredith swallowed and stared at him, Addison took her hand on the top of the table and held it tightly her eyes looking behind Thatcher's head to the photo she'd deliberately placed on the wall earlier that night of Meredith sitting in a red sled in the snow with Thatcher, in front a big fir tree.
"You know, I'm not sure that that-" Susan tried to say, also realising what hole Thatcher was digging himself into,
"Yeah, no honey, it's a massive Douglas fir and in the picture couldn't look more like Laura. I mean, incredible."
"That's me." Meredith said, Thatcher's smile fell away, "The red sled and the big fir tree and the park at the middle school and the ugly yellow wool coat. That isn't Molly. It's you and me."
The lights flickered and shut off, "Crap!" yelled Izzie from the kitchen,
Meredith and Addison walked back into the house hand in hand after waving Thatcher and Susan off. Izzie and George were arguing in the hall,
"I need to vent!" He exclaimed,
"You need to apologise!"
Meredith frowned, "What's going on?"
"I'm taking George home. He needs to apologise to Callie." Izzie's words were directed at George more then Meredith, "Just suck it up. Go back with your tail between your legs and apologize."
"No!"
"Really, just say 'I'm sorry, I'm an ass'."
"I'm always apologizing." George argued, Meredith smirked at Addison,
"Where's Alex?" She asked,
"What?" Izzie looked up, "Oh, he went back to the hospital." She focused on George once more, "Come on George, 'Blah, blah, blah,' and it's over, it's all over." She started to physically push him to the door, George sighed and gave in, walking to the door,
"I can't be wrong all the time, is that really possible?" He asked,
Addison laughed, "We have the house to our selves." She lent forward and kissed Meredith,
Mere sighed and tried to push away, "Actually Addi-" her words stopped as Addison hand slipped up her shirt and cupped her right breast; Meredith moaned and pulled Addison's lips to hers.
They moved carefully and skilfully through the house, up the stairs and down the hall only breaking contact of lips once when Meredith's shirt was pulled from her and Addison sat her down on the stairs, straddling her and kissing her deeply as Meredith's fingers fumbled with the buttons of Addie's blouse. Somehow they managed to stand as one, Meredith flinging Addison's bra away, not paying attention as it flew through Alex's open door, and Addie working on undoing Meredith's jeans, helping her shimmy out of them as they rested against their bedroom door, still locked at the lips.
The jeans fell around Meredith's ankles and Addison's hand moved from Mere's waist, over her ass and down her thigh, raising her leg to wrap around Addie's hip. Addison pulled back and kissed along Mere's jaw line and nibbled her ear softly, Meredith gasped.
"Jump up." Addie whispered, her breath hot against Meredith's tingling skin,
Mere did as instructed and jumped, wrapping her legs tight around he fiancé's waist, her arms around her neck as she claimed Addison's lips again. Addison smiled into the kiss and with one hand managed to open the door to the room and walk inside.
"Oh! Ergh!"
Addison jumped in surprise and dropped Meredith who fell to the floor with a squeal and a thud. "Jesus!" She yelled,
Cristina sat in the middle of their bed her arms covering her face, "Ergh, God, I did not need to see that."
Addison was blushing intently, she was completely topless, wearing only a skirt that was hitched around her hips, she quickly grabbed a robe and pulled it on as Mere pulled on her Dartmouth shirt and sweat pants.
"Yang, what the hell are you doing here?" Exclaimed Addison,
"She's having a crisis." Meredith said breathlessly,
Addison gave her a sharp look, "Could you have told me that before you pulled my clothes off?"
"You didn't really give me a chance."
"Ergh. Ok, I'm leaving." Cristina said, pushing back the bed covers and scooting to the edge of the bed.
"What?"
"I can't stay here now, I'll have nightmares," she shivered, and left the room, Mere and Addison heard her footsteps travel down the stairs and out the front door. The revs of Cristina's motorbike echoed slightly before travelling off into the distance. Meredith turned from the window slowly to face Addison.
"Bath?" She asked,
Addison laughed and dropped her robe, Meredith noticed that the skirt and panties Addie had been wearing were now gone.
"Bed." Addison said.
Meredith moved to her and pushed her back into the bed, Addison laughed but soon started to moan as Meredith's lips and fingers worked magic over Addison's body.
