Addison's POV

The drive to the therapy appointment went by quickly, I sat in the front driving while Arizona sat in the back with Meredith not wanting to leave her alone for even a moment,
We've had a great morning since breakfast, when Meredith woke up from her mini nap she seemed to be slightly regressed, sitting between Arizona and I her thumb still in her mouth, as we watched what ever child's cartoon show came on, I wasn't really paying attention instead focusing on what we needed to address in Mer's appointment.

"You ready honey?" I asked holding Meredith hand as we sat in the waiting room,
"I think so." She said smiling, I love her smile it's adorable,
"Can me and Addie come in with you?" Arizona asked, we didn't want to force her to do anything
"Please do, don't leave me." She said looking between us with her beautiful big eyes, I can see small tears forming in the corner of them
"Of course baby, we aren't going anywhere, unless you want us too." I explained smiling, squeezing her hand slightly.

"Meredith Grey." The receptionist called

Arizona's POV

Addie walks in first holding Meredith hand and I'm not far behind, I'm so incredibly proud of her this is such a large step for her.
"Welcome, Meredith, I'm Dr Wyatt" The therapist explained,
"Hi." Meredith said quickly half hiding behind Addie
"It's ok my love, we are just here to talk today." I say gently resting my hand on her back.

The appointment was a bit of a blur, Dr Wyatt talked to Meredith then to me and Addie, Addie brought up age regression and Dr Wyatt agreed it would be a great coping mechanism for Meredith. I'm glad it is but I can't help but feel a tiny pit form in my stomach but I immediately push it away this is about Meredith. It doesn't take long and Dr Wyatt is talking directly to me again

"I was wondering, if I may speak to one of you Arizona or Addison just for a moment before you leave," Dr Wyatt asked, I briefly look at Addie who silently motions down to the now nearly asleep Mer in her arms.
"I'll stay," I say,
"Thank you, I'll meet you... in my office." Addison says pausing to try and decide what would be easiest for Meredith
"My office had a bed Addie go there. Plus it's closer" I say smiling
"Ok, I'll see you in a bit." She said smiling before carrying Meredith out of the room.

"Arizona I just wanted to discuss Meredith weight with you," Dr Wyatt explained once Addie had left, "I didn't want to mention it in front of Addison because I didn't want to trigger her."
"Right yes, me and Addie had discussed that and we've talked about it with Meredith, what was it specifically you noticed?" I asked hoping an expert advice would help me and Addie help Meredith better.
"Well mainly how small she is and how light she is, she will most likely require a physical examination but I do believe she is so underweight she would possibly be admitted if I was to get a physical done." Dr Wyatt explained, a lump forming in my throat as she spoke. Being admitted was the last thing Meredith needed, "but I suspect that will only make it worse, so and I'm only doing this because both you and Addison are doctors, you need to get a proper weight for her and let me know, and try and discuss food with her." Dr Wyatt finished and i released a breath I didn't realise I was holding.
"Oh um sure we can get a weight we will figure out a way, and thank you for not mentioning I think I may have triggered her, she talked to us a bit about her eating last night she hadn't eaten in nearly a week and before that it had been about a week as well. I'm worried she has an eating disorder, she did mention she thought you was fat but I'm not exactly sure it's not my area of expertise, although I am worried last night she ate and then threw up again, I suspect refeeding syndrome." I explained, I realised I was probably rambling but I couldn't help it I'm worried about Meredith she is underweight and I'm not sure how best to fix it.
"I think you could be correct about refeeding syndrome be careful over the next few days see how it goes, can you try and maybe keep track of what she does it and if anything affects how much she eats?" Dr Wyatt asks,
"Um yes Addie and I can do that." I say great-full Se Wyatt was being so understanding
"Ok, we can look deeper into the issues with eating next week, keep that log for me and try to get a weight." Dr Wyatt explains.
"Ok thank you Dr Wyatt" I say leaving, that was a successful appointment, now to find Addie and Mer.
It doesn't take me long to reach my office and the soft sound of Meredith snores fill the air,
"All good?" Addie whispers as to not wake Meredith who is asleep on my roll out bed, her handing gripping hold of Addies
"She wanted to talk about Meredith weight," I explained taking a seat next to them.
"Is she concerned?"Addies asked
"She is but she told us to track it this week and try and get an accurate weight for Meredith, then she would look more into it next week." I explain running my fingers through Meredith hair.
"Ok we can do that" Addie says smiling,
"We can," I say back,
The sun is shining through my winter falling directly onto Addies face making her red curls almost glow around her head.
"You look beautiful," I say gently using the hand not rubbing Meredith's back to push a stray hair back behind Addies ear
"So do you" she said smiling,
