You're not so bad ~ (merdisson)

Chapter 10: positive

(Third person/ no ones Pov)

Meredith awoke to the stares of Cristina and Bailey. Cristina happened to have been assigned to Addisons case therefore she had to do rounds. She knew Meredith would be with her but she didn't realise she would be curled up beside her nestled in her neck.
"Um hi mer" she said.
Meredith jerked up and stared in embarrassment at the two women standing in- front of her. She could see the annoyance painted across baileys face. To be honest Meredith was starting to wonder if thats how she always looked. Cold.
She knew she wasn't all harsh. Really it was just her natural expression but it was intimidating all the same.
"Oh doctor bailey" she gasped looking up from her sleepy state.
"Mhmm" bailey grunted ignoring the foolish intern. "Present yang"!
"Addison Montgomery Shepherd, 37 in recovery from abdominal surgery last night, bp and labs are stable." Cristina announced.
"Good" bailey replied. "How are you feeling Addison" she asked.
"Im feeling ok. My wound hurts but I'm not surprised considering i was in surgery a few hours ago." She smiled hunching up a bit to ease her pain slightly.
"Mark should be by later to fix up the cuts on your face ok?" Bailey asked again.
"Oh he'll love getting to touch my face again" she laughed sarcastically.
"Mhmm I'm sure" baileys eyes rolled before she laughed under her breath. Exiting the room.

"I presume you two are friends now" Addison inquired looking back at Meredith.
"Yeah we're all good" she smiled still half asleep.
"Ill leave you two and ill tell the nurses not to let anyone in without mine or Baileys permission. Not even Derek."
"Thank you yang" Addison acknowledged giving her a friendly nod.

Derek hadn't been to see Addison yet. He'd gotten pulled into a last minute surgery last night that went on for a good few hours. Meredith wasn't sure why he hadn't been to see her after that but she brushed it off focusing on the girl beside her.

Addison swiped a piece of hair from Merediths pale and tired face causing Meredith to shiver.
"Nice to know i still have an effect on you" Addison smirked.
Rosy blush began to creep up Merediths cheeks as she whispered "every touch feels like the first time."
"You know it really sucks that I'm stuck in this bed on drugs right now because i swear to god Mer if I wasn't I'd rip your clothes off right this second." Addison grinned her muscles tense with hunger.
"What a shame" Meredith teased.
"Your evil" Addison rolled her beautiful blue eyes.
"Oh i know" Meredith smirked whipping her hair over her shoulder sarcastically.

They both laughed before Meredith stopped abruptly. "Why did you get in your car yesterday morning" She asked suddenly silencing her laughter.
"Oh" Addison took a long deafening pause. She had completely forgot about that. How could she have forgotten.

"Oh god, Meredith i..." She began to cry.
"Hey, baby whats wrong?"
That word shot through Addisons brain ,pounding like a hammer to a wall.
She had never heard Meredith call her that before and half of her loved it and found it extremely sexy but the other half dreaded it.
Why? Because that word was the exact reason Addison had gotten in her car , not 24 hours earlier.

(Flashback to yesterday morning)

Addisons POV:

I sunk back deep into the jungle of bedsheets twisting my limbs through their soft linen. Meredith had left to find Cristina and so i was alone. Practically naked in yet another dingy on call room.
An on call room which less than 2 hours ago i had had almost amazing sex in. Amazing sex with Meredith Grey. Until we were. Interrupted.

Suddenly a wave of nausea consumed me. My head felt light and my skin was burning. I knew i was about to throw up but i managed to hold it in. I whipped my body into some form of clothing before sprinting out across the corridor to the nearest bathroom.
I threw up in the toilet uncontrollably whilst my head pounded. After a small minute my body relaxed allowing me to sink to the cold floor whilst I regained my breath.
"Oh my god" i gasped.
I stood up slowly gripping the side of my head to steady myself. My feet shuffled out of the door and to the sink.
'I couldn't be' my thoughts contemplated ,praying to the dear heavens that I wasn't.
I hadn't had my period for a while but that happens to plenty of people. I had a degree in gynaecology i should know this stuff.
'God Addison get it together you hopeless bitch' i shouted at myself internally.

Rationally i gathered myself and left the bathroom after splashing my face with icy hospital water. I walked out of the door and headed for my car. Once my body was out of the hospital i breathed in the fresh Seattle air allowing it to fill my lungs before walking over to my matt black ford.
'Click' the keys turned and then the car was moving. The wheels rolled as i raced down the street on my way to the local pharmacy. I could feel the car getting faster but i didn't care i needed to be there. I couldn't wait any longer. I needed to know. Now!

"CRASH!!!"

Darkness. The world was just utter darkness.
My head throbbed as my body screamed in pain. I heard a groan escape my lips whilst i wriggled around trying to free my leg from whatever it was trapped under. Thick red liquid oozed from every corner of my body coating me in a crimson blanket. Although i had no idea what colour it actually was or what was happening. Like i said all i could see was darkness.

Suddenly i heard a muffled whistle of sirens and my vision improved by a fraction as blue and red lights flashed behind my pupils.
The next thing i remembered was being dragged into the back of an ambulance on my way back to Meredith.

(Flash forward to now)

"Addison" Meredith shook me lightly breaking me from my trauma trance.
"Yeah" i mumbled back roboticly.
"You were trying to tell me where you went yesterday before..." she gulped " the accident"
"I have to go and do something" my mouth blurted and before she could object i was out of my bed hobbling through the door.
"Addie!" Her soft blonde voice called after me.
I kept on limping until i reached a supply closet resting myself against the door to regain my strength and subside the sting burning in my torso.

My mind was clear. "Where are you" i whispered frustrated. "There you are" i said nervously grabbing a white plastic stick from the shelf.
I stuffed it into my pocket before opening the door to a very annoyed Meredith.
"Don't do that again, what if you'd ripped your stitches or passed out" she glared wrapping a thin arm around around me and hugging me close to her. I breathed in her sweet lavender scent. It was so pure and luscious it made me feel all fuzzy.
Lets get you back to bed, what were you even doing in here?" She asked confused.
"I needed some hand sanitiser" i replied showing her the bottle that i had accidentally grabbed when searching for the certain item.
"Your strange, you know that?" She giggled innocently as purple eye-bags creased under her faded pupils.
"You look exhausted Mer" i exclaimed trying to divert the conversation.
"Im fine" she flashed a forced smile at me trying to reassure me but i knew better.
"Did you even sleep last night"
"Well no apart from that little nap this morning but i had to make sure you were ok didn't i, I couldn't have you crashing in the night while i was asleep, id never forgive myself" she replied rubbing the drowsiness from her eyelids.
"Mer I'm fine go and sleep. Now!" I commanded practically pushing her towards an on call room.
"Fine but I'm checking on you in a couple of hours"
I laughed awkwardly before sneaking back into my room and shutting the door firmly behind me.
My legs slithered past my bed and into the ICU bathroom. I was surprised could even walk after such a big surgery but the body is a very powerful thing. That i was aware of.

I twisted the lock of the door double checking to see if entrance was feasible. It was not.
"Good" i breathed pulling the plastic contraption from the thin layer of my pocket.
"Here goes" i sighed.

3 excruciating minutes past dragging on for what seemed like an agonising eternity. "Ding" the timer rang. Its body buzzing with annoyance announcing the time i had been dreading and anticipating since i threw up in that toilet yesterday.

My slender fingers trembled, barely gripping the piece of plastic. My cobalt eyes peered down.

Two lines! "its... its positive"

(HELLO author here. I know this chapter didn't really have much Merdisson in it but it was kinda crucial for the story line. :) enjoy this plot twist hehehe😈)
