Morning came and went. It wasn't until half past noon that Addison was the first to stir awake. The redhead lightly moved Meredith to the side of her before sitting up and stretching, resulting in a satisfying pop of her back. She peered over to the peacefully sleeping form of her girlfriend. Addison smiled at the little snores resonating throughout the quiet room.

'She looks so cute while sleeping' Addison thought.

Knowing that she had to wake Meredith and start their day, she reached over and moved unruly blonde locks out of her face.

"Meredith, wake up please. It's time to start our day"

The blonde whined and turned her back to the redhead. Addison chuckled and lightly shook Meredith until finally, although reluctantly, Meredith sat up and sleepily stretched her muscles. Meredith looked over to Addison and smiled. Addison returned the smile and the two shared a goodmorning (afternoon) kiss. When Meredith pulled back she all of a sudden froze and Addison knew the blonde remembered the events of last night.Seeing the tears well up in scared blue eyes, and Meredith looking ready to bolt any second, Addison gave her an out.

"I'm gonna brush my teeth and go downstairs and make us a nice brunch. You come down whenever you're ready, okay sweetheart?" said Addison.

"Okay" said Meredith in an almost whisper.

Addison got up and went into the bathroom. A couple minutes later she came out and pressed a lingering kiss to Meredith's forehead and whispered "Everything will be alright. We'll go through this together. I love you".

" I love you too," whispered the blonde.

With one last kiss to the blondes forehead, Addison left the blonde to her own thoughts.

Merediths POV

I sat there staring into nothing as my thoughts ran through my mind. 'I can't believe I acted so....babyish in front of Addison', I think as I sit here internally panicking.

What if she breaks up with me? What if she thinks I'm too immature to be in a relationship with her?  Meredith the dark and twisty baby with mommy issues. I try to breathe and calm myself. I remember the words Addison whispered to me.

"Everything will be alright. Addison loves me", I said to myself.

The smell of food drifted into the bedroom, reminding me Addison is downstairs cooking. I get up and go to the bathroom to relieve myself and brush my teeth. When I was done I looked at myself in the mirror before leaving the bathroom. I took a deep breath before heading downstairs to the kitchen.

No ones POV

Addison was just about to dish up the omelets when she heard  Meredith enter the kitchen. She turned away from the counter and looked at the blonde. She had a nervous but determined look in her stormy eyes.

"Go sit at the table honey and I'll bring the food", Addison said with a fond look on her face.

Meredith hesitated but then did as told. Addison brought the omelets, orange juice, and a bowl of cut up fruit to the table. Once finished she sat in the chair next to Meredith and began eating. Meredith looked as if she were about to say something but Addison beat her to it.

"Eat your food darling. We'll talk once we're done"

Although reluctantly, Meredith began eating. They sat in relative silence as they ate, with the added fact that the blonde was stealing glances every now and then at the redhead. Once done they both washed the dishes and set them to dry. Addison turned to Meredith, grabbed her hand and nodded towards the living room.

Once they were both settled on the couch Meredith started frantically spouting her inner turmoil.

"Please don't break up with me! I promise I can change, I'll do better I promise! Please don't leave me!" the blonde practically begged and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

Addison was taken aback by the sudden outburst. Still a bit shocked from it she didn't respond to Meredith which made the blonde think the worst so she started hyperventilating. Addison snapped out of it and cupped the blondes face in her hands.

"Mer baby you have to calm down before you pass out", said Addison but when that didn't work she brought the blondes face close to her chest and turned her head so her ear was on her heart.

"Meredith listen to my heart and follow my breathing", said the redhead as she ran her finger through blonde hair. She listened as the blonde took shaky breaths until her breathing was even."There you go", said Addison.

They sat in silence for a moment before the redhead pulled back to look the blonde in the eye.

"Now do you mind telling me why you think I'm going to leave you", Addison said calmly.

Meredith avoided the eye contact and mumbled out, " Because you probably think I'm babyish and don't want to date anyone as immature as me"

"Meredith I don't care how mature you are, I love you for you."

"But why! It's weird and embarrassing that I cry from nightmares and suck my thumb to soothe myself and act all babyish to escape reality."

Before Meredith could continue with more of her self deprecating dialogue Addison interrupted her.

"Meredith, have you ever heard of Age Regression?"

The blonde stopped and shook her head no.

"Okay well, I think it could really help you cope more healthily than bottling everything up inside of you. Now if you are ready, we can talk all about it. Baby, I love you with everything that I have and I just want to see you happy. Are you willing to listen?", said Addison with a hopeful look.

Meredith pondered for a bit with the thought of 'What is Age Regression?'.

With one last thought she sighed and looked Addison in the eye.

"Okay, I'm ready to talk"
