Chapter 28: Birthday Dinner

Time had gone rather quickly. After a few hours of napping Aelwyne and Addison both had found Meredith and did their charting. There had been just one emergent case, with which they dealt with rather quickly. When the mother had arrived she was very close to delivery the only issue was that the baby was turned. Addison had expertly fixed the position before delivering without having to do surgery. Both baby and mother were safe, so after some charting for the new patient all three were free to rest for the night. Addison and Aelwyne slept in the attending's office while Meredith went to an on-call room with Derek. All in all it was a rather quiet night.

The next day had gone without a hitch and both Aelwyne and Addison found themselves driving. The car ride was full of laughter and chats and some great singing. Addison had asked Aelwyne to first bring her to the hotel since she had already gone through the clothes she had brought to the loft. They both got down and went up to Addison's room.

Addison began collecting more clothing as Aelwyne sat on the bed humming to one of the songs they had been listening to. The redhead smiled as she heard the happy sound coming out of the intern sitting happily on the bed. The humming stopped suddenly causing Addison to get out of the walk-in closet.

"Everything alright?" Addison asked as she popped her head out, sending Aelwyne into a fit of giggles as she held her injured cheek. "What's so funny?"

"Last time you popped your head out like that you were drunk and naked in my bathroom." Aelwyne giggled.

"Oh? Well sad to say I'm fully clothed." Addison shrugged.

"Want me to change that?" Aelwyne smirked.

"It'd be nice but..." Addison looked at her lifting her eyebrows.

"But, we have about an hour and a half to get ready and be at Meredith's." Aelwyne finished, sighing in discontent.

"Soon." Addison grinned, allowing some of her lust and desire to shine through her eyes.

"Soon." Aelwyne echoed, her eyes darkening a bit.

"Anyway, why'd you stop humming?" Addison said quickly, changing the subject, trying to sober herself up.

"Oh umm. Why is your stuff in this hotel room?" Aelwyne said as she recalled where her mind had been before naked Addison filled it.

"This is where I live." Addison said, cocking her head in question.

"Well uh.... technically you live with me. No?" Aelwyne said tilting her head.

"I mean, we had never really decided..." Addison began.

"What do you mean?" Aelwyne chuckled. "You already call it home."

"Is that how it works?" Addison nodded and began to chuckle.

"Don't we make the rules?" Aelwyne said with a grin.

"Guess we do, don't we?" Addison chuckled some more and went back to packing some clothes.

"We could come back tomorrow and move everything, if that makes you feel better?!" Addison called out from the closet.

"I guess we could." Aelwyne replied as she stood right behind her.

"Why?! Why do you feel the need to do that?" Addison said as she jumped dropping what she was holding onto.

"It's funny to watch you all freaked out and flustered." Aelwyne giggled. "You look all cute and adorable."
