Chapter 22 - Put Your Arms Around Me
Meredith lay in a hotel room bed completely satisfied and breathing deeply.
"That was…" She sighed, "…Thanks."
Mark grinned, "Again?" he smirked,
Meredith laughed, "Yes please." She rolled and moved so she was on top of him, they started to kiss and his hands trailed over her body. Her cell phone started to ring.
She pulled back and grabbed the phone, answering it, "Hello? Hey." She looked down at Mark, "It's about Doc, my dog." She went back to the phone, "Yeah. No, I'm here. Sure-" Mark took the phone away from her, "No, come on." She said to Mark trying to get the phone back,
"Dr. Vet or whatever. Meredith's going to have to call you back after we finish having our hot sex." He hung up,
Meredith hit him, "That wasn't the vet!"
Meanwhile at the veterinary clinic, Addison stood holding her cell. She hung up. Mark was back in town, and apparently back to sleeping with her girlfri- her ex girlfriend.
"Everything ok?" asked Finn, as he walked in with Doc,
"Yeah. Everything's great." Addie bent down, "Hey, Doc. You look better."
"It may just be a virus. But I'd like to wait until we get the blood tests and the x-ray results back before I say anything for sure." Finn told her,
"So he can go home today? Because I called Derek and he says he can pick him up, and Meredith knows about everything too."
"He can go home."
Addison grinned, "You hear that, Doc? You can go home."
"So you and Derek, uh..." Said Finn trying to be conversational, "You're together?"
"Uh..." Addison faulted, "Uh, Derek and I are… just friends. Well we are now. We uh… well, we were married but that didn't work out and we're divorced now, but we're still friends. And I guess- yeah… We were married but now we're not. We're divorced. And friends."
"So you're single?"
Addison nodded, "Yes. I'm single."
"I ask because I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me."
"Out with you?"
"On a date. Tonight." Finn smiled,
"A date." Nodded Addison, "Tonight."
"And you're repeating everything I say so that you can buy yourself some time and figure out how, a way to let me down easy. It's ok. I get it."
"No! No. I... I... um... you know, you're very...it's just that... Yes. Yes ok, a date tonight." She smiled and sighed, "I'd like that."
"Good."
"Yea."
"I'll call you then."
Addison smiled, "Yea."

Addison walked to a nurses' station where Meredith and Cristina were talking.
"Meredith." She said, "I need to talk to you."
"Uhh." Meredith mumbled, "Can we, uh, can we talk later, Addie? I just, I uh, I have to go meet Bailey, I'm with her and..."
Addison sighed, "Go. But we will talk."
Meredith fled, and Addison looked at Cristina.
"I need an intern, you free?"
"I'm with Burke." Cristina left; Addie groaned and saw Alex,
"Ah, Karev, come on, you're with me."
* * *
Meredith ran and just made it into a lift; Addison was the only other person there. "Hey." Said Meredith,
"Well, hey." Addison smiled, "Meredith, I'm going to tell you something ok, and just so you know, after this morning you have no say in the matter ok?"
Meredith frowned, "Uh… ok."
"I'm going to date Finn." Addison told her,
"Finn? The vet?"
"Yes." nodded Addie, "He asked me out, and yes, I'm going to date Finn."
"Ok."
"Good."
"Yea… Good."
There was a short pause.
"So Mark's back in town. Celibacy didn't last long. "
Meredith nodded, "He's uh; he's planning on moving here."
"What?" Addison's eyes snapped to Meredith's face,
"Moving to Seattle. He gave up his practice."
"Oh God." Sighed Addison, Meredith laughed and nodded,
"So… how's your day been?"
Addie shook her head slightly, "Good."
"Good." Meredith sighed, "So, you're dating the vet."
"I'm dating the vet."
They both laughed and the elevator stopped.
"Bye Addie."
"Bye Mere."

Addison sat in an on call room alone. She had her cell to her ear.
"Finn hi." She said as he answered,
"I didn't call." He said, "I was going to but-"
"No, I just, I won't be able to make anything tonight." She sighed, "…I'm being sued."
"What for?"
Addie sighed, "It doesn't matter. I just, I can't make anything tonight."
"No it's ok. I can't either, it seems. I have this… errand."
"Errand?"
"Yea." He chuckled, "One the horses here is about give birth."
"You're birthing a horse?"
"Yea."
"Wow." Addie smiled, "Maybe I can make it."
"You want to birth a horse?"
"Yeah. I can leave right now."
"Ok."
"Ok." They both hung up and Addie left the hospital with a grin on her face.
At the vet, after birthing a horse Finn stood with Addison who was mourning the death of her shoes.
"Is it coming off?" He asked,
"No." sighed Addie,
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be. It was an amazing date."
"Technically it wasn't the date." Finn grinned, "It was the errand. Now... we could go up to my place. I could cook for you."
"Go up to your place?" Asked Addie with raised eyebrows,
"Well, do you want to come up to my place?"
Addison smiled, "Yea… Ok."
"Good." smiled Finn, "Because, here's the deal. You can come up to my place, take off all your clothes, shower off the goo, borrow one of my shirts, and I'll cook you dinner. I think you ought to accept that deal, because, you know. It involves you naked in my apartment. But, you know...that's just me."
Addison grinned and nodded, "You should know I'm not going to have sex with you."
Finn nodded, "Ok, well… I will respect that. But I can't promise I won't try kissing you."
"You can't?"
"No I can't." Finn moved close to her and she smiled, looking into his eyes,
"Well in that case…" Addie's voice trailed off lightly and her lips brushed Finn's. He held her gently, and kissed softly, not going too far. Addie pulled back, "I'm going to take that shower now." She said, "I'm still covered in…" He chuckled and nodded.

Meredith parked behind Derek, she got out of her car and he did too. They were at his trailer; Meredith really wanted to see Doc.
They walked to the trailer and found Doc, he was lying on the ground listless and by the looks of things he hadn't eaten.
"Damn it." said Derek, "He's sick again."
Meredith walked over, "Do you want me to take him to the vet?"
Derek groaned, "Yea. I'll call ahead. You go."
"Ok."
Meredith bent down and managed to pick Doc up and though he was heavy she got him into her car and she left.
When she arrived at the vet, Finn was waiting for her. She walked in with Doc in her arms, "He's been lifeless and hasn't eaten all day." She told him as Finn took Doc from her arms,
"Oh no. Let's have a look."
Addison walked down the stairs with wet hair, dressed in one of Finn's shirts, her long legs shown off.
"Hey." She said walking down,
"Hey." Meredith nodded,
"Is he sick again?" Asked Addie,
"Yeah."

George walked into the kitchen at Meredith's house; Izzie was eating cookies in her pyjamas.
"George! Hey."
"Hey." Smiled George, "Oh, this is uh... this is my girlfriend. Callie." He introduced as a tall woman with dark curly hair walked in behind him,
"Oh, hi." Smiled Izzie, "I'm-"
"Izzie Stevens, Hey." Smiled Callie,
"So we spent the night at Callie's last night," George told her, "so we figured we'd just spend the night here."
"Oh, ok." Said Izzie nodding, she looked away, towards the tray of cookies. She held them out, "Help yourself."

Meredith knocked on the familiar door to Arizona's apartment. It opened and she was greeted by the familiar blonde woman.
"Zona?" she asked,
"Yes?"
"You're not seeing anyone are you?" Meredith walked in and sat on Arizona's couch,
"No…"
Meredith nodded, "Good."
"Good?"
Meredith nodded, "I was thinking we could start… dating."
Arizona sat down, "Dating?"
"Yeah." Smiled Meredith, "I mean, I like you. You're really funny and nice and everything and I'll get it if you say no, I mean I'm boring and dark and twisty and messed up and only an intern and always busy and-"
"Meredith." Arizona cut it, "I'd love to date you."
Meredith sighed in relief and smiled, "Good."
Zona laughed, "Come here."
Meredith moved and Arizona kissed her deeply.
