Chapter: 32 No Funny Business

Chapter 32: No Funny Business

The time for the intern's exam was approaching rapidly and it was apparent with how they all now acted. Every time they had a break or after work they would meet up and go over cases and diagnoses and symptoms, quizzing each other constantly. The attending were also happy to help with their studies as they continued to teach them and grill them with questions. Also the more set schedule with the same attending for a week was helpful. Studying had become a very important part of their lives now. After work they would either go to Meredith's or Aelwyne's place so it was not a surprise when Addison made it back home to find them all huddled up on the couch.

"What's tonight's subject?" She asked after closing the door behind her. "And who's winning?" She chuckled.

They had come up with a game and a sort of point system. Whoever had the most points on their last study section would get a weekend getaway paid for by everyone else. So far the lead had been switched on and off between Meredith, Cristina, and Aelwyne.

"Subject is neonatal and fetal." Cristina grumbled. "Which sucks 'cause I was whooping ass until now. I want cardio again." She sat back in a huff and the rest of the interns started laughing.

"I'm winning." Alex beamed.

"Only 'cause your sweetness is letting you." George remarked. That sent a slight tinge of jealousy through her and apparently her ever perceptive girlfriend caught it.

"Baby girl." Aelwyne blurted out before she could stop herself, sending a blush through her face. Addison smirked at her with an amused look on her face.

"Yes, Bug?" The redhead called and Aelwyne's cheeks now shone a beautiful and much deeper scarlet shade.

"Eww." Cristina joked.

"Aww they're cute." Izzie said next to Aelwyne. Meredith only giggled from where she sat next to George.

The doorbell rang before Addison could start to tease her golden eyed girl and she went to get it. She opened the door to Derek and Mark who had been laughing at who knew what. Smiling brightly she moved aside and motioned them in.

"Dr. Sloan! It's good you're here." Izzie called and Mark smirked, making both Addison and Derek shake their heads. "I think I'm on your service tomorrow. I wanted to ask you about the surgery for Mr..." her voice died out as she tried to recall the name.

"Mr. Thomas, babe." Alex added.

"Babe?" George looked confused.

"Bambi, always being oblivious." Cristina snickered.

"Oh, George." Meredith shook her head.

"I think you make a nice couple." Addison smiled at them and then sent a wink at Aelwyne who was still recovering.

"Who's winning tonight?" Derek asked next to her.

"Alex, because his sweetness is helping him." Addison replied and then saw Aelwyne's head snap to her.

"I was only helping." Aelwyne said quickly.

"Go kiss your jealous girlfriend, Ael." Cristina smirked.

"Shhh." Aelwyne glared at her playfully.

"Well, I'm hungry." George said and there was a collective of nods and hums in agreement.

"How does pizza sound?" Derek asked. "I'll be nice. It'll be my treat."

"Yes, please!" Meredith and Cristina shouted in unison.

"I like pizza." Izzie said with a smile.

"Yeah. I want some." Mark added.

"It's not for you. It's for the children. Though you're a child too. Addison and I are the only grown ups here." Derek smirked as a flying pillow hit him square in the face. Addison watched it fly in in slow motion and doubled over laughing.
