Note that this flashback sequence has been drastically shortened and updated, based on wonderfully helpful reviews from readers like you. THANKS!

ADDISON

(What if MEREDITH GREY had just heard, heard her declaration of homosexual tendencies!!!!????)

MEREDITH

(Meredith is still thinking about that damn 'mystery person' and the note they left her)

(Because she's not sure she's willing to be with someone who's held out that long to a secret.)

(IS SHE READY??? How would she know how WILL she know?)

(Or maybe she wants ADDISON.)

(BUT THAT SHE DOESN'T KNOW IF ADDISON WOULD EVEN EVER LIKE WOMEN AT ALL)

(And she doesn't know if Addison would be the type of Attending to want to date a STUDENT.)

(But she's not so sure that she WOULDN'T want to wait for Addison once she's no longer her student, then, either.)

ADDISON

(DAMN NO LONGER PREGNANT PATIENT. AND DAMN AILEY FOR NOT PUTTING ME WITH GREY.

(But at least, if all the interns are in surgery tonight, Addison thinks to herself-)

(At least I know they're not all TALKING TO JOE! AND ASKING JOE QUESTIONS ABOUT HER! AND THAT NIGHT!)

(Addison doesn't want to hide ALL her secrets anymore... so the moment the interns are about to rush off to their assignments,)

Addison comes out loud and proud to say "Oh, and by the way, I'm at least kinda HALF-GAY, I mean for real I mean- I- Girls- Am-women.... You know have a good afternoon"

( And Addison never looked up, never glanced even once to her - Meredith- or anyone else as she moved to leave the O.R)

MEREDITH

(SHe's blushing and smiling to herself now. Hiding her smile from her best friend Cristina. Though she has no idea how much Cristina already knows yet-)

(Just how happy Addison Montgomery's newfound admission about her being at least half-Gay, had made Meredith Grey's whole day...)

Chapter 21: Break On Through Part Eleven

Addison scrubs out to do surgery with George O'Malley and Alex Karev.

The boys ask her if she is "really Bi or Gay".

When she says yes, they ask her for a threesome, to which she says "no thank-you".

They go to tell the patient the diagnosis. A Teratoma inside of his abdomen.
