Author's Note:

Thanks for the notes yesterday, folks.

That was a chapter I always wanted to write.

And this, here, is a chapter I've been waiting to write, also.

It's a little treat for the readers, thank you all for following along.

I know this is a slow-burn. I hope you haven't given up now.

Have a good day, and without further ado, enjoy.

Chapter 34: Dream a Little Dream of Me

Chapter Summary: Addison has an interesting dream. Meredith hears all about it. Rated E for explicit. Do with that summary what you will. Other stuff happens but that's the main point.

By the time Meredith Grey gets to Seattle Grace Hospital, she's stressed out to the nines because she's taken so long to arrive in the patient room she's almost sure somebody has died by now.

But luckily for her, and everyone else, the death part is only a symptom of Meredith's overreactive imagination, and the emergency part of the page was actually, ironically, about her patients' parents' love lives.

"We want to have sex," the parents of the twin pyloric stenosis babies inform her as she walks in the door.

"Excuse me?!" Meredith says in surprise as she thinks they must have been expecting someone else to walk in the room at that time.

"We want to have sex; so we paged you here so we could and we wouldn't feel guilty about leaving the twins alone..." They trail off a bit sheepishly.

"Oh," Meredith says in surprise.

"Uh-" Meredith says because she apparently can't come up with something better than 'Uh-" at this time of night.

Or rather, is it that she can't come up with something better than "Uh-" after HER love life clearly fell through the sky and now this happy couple wants her to let them have SEX in a hospital and she's just a bit bitter at them because she wishes it was HER having the sex with-

"Of course, umm, just let me put some scrubs on and I'll watch your babies, do they have any names yet?" Meredith flips the chart up and tries to answer that one for herself.

"Not yet, we're calling the boy "Y" for "Y-Chromosome" and the girl "X" for "X-Chromosome"; they are fraternal twins but they have the same birth defect," the parents explain to her.

"X and Y it is!" says Meredith with purposeful enthusiasm.

"My name is Anna," says the woman, "and this is Emmett," she continues while pointing to her partner.

"Well, thanks and let me know if you have any questions..." Meredith says to them.

"Oh, we have three more questions for you," Emmett says to her cheerfully.

"Yes?" Meredith gets out a pen to fill out the blanks in the chart.

"Oh, I don't think you'll need that to answer the questions-" Emmett smiles at her.
