Soothe

9: They Say "Sure" At The Same Time

Author's Note:

Wow, here we are, yet again, on another scintillating addition.

This one is much, much more canonical, with some additional implied MerAdd connection.

Forgive me for the not really good medicine part, I'm not a doctor, just an avid Grey's fan like the rest of us...!

This one is ALSO for Kristin_Aubrie, who commented TWICE on the last chapter, just as I am posting this!

Ps. Ten points for whoever can find the damn song lyrics. (SorryNotSorry!)

PREVIOUSLY ON "SOOTHE":

"So, then, how long has it been, since you were..." Meredith stops herself before she tries to finish that phrase since she's not sure if the correct ending would be 'with a woman' or 'actively bisexual' or 'practicing lesbianism' or any and/or all of the above. And so she just lets Addison catch the beginning of her half-implication, and as always, Addison catches on to her, well.

"Do you miss it?" Meredith asks boldly, then flushes atrociously, and then says "actually maybe don't answer that," because she's not sure she wants to know this... Because she totally really freaking does and she's been wondering this from the moment Addison brought it up for herself, and also well, well before that- since basically the moment she first met Addison Montgomery...

Addison leans right in, to tell Meredith, and Meredith, only, 'I do miss it; all of the time...'

Chapter 9: They Say "Sure" At The Same Time

In Which they all operate together; Meredith and Addison and Derek and Alex. Well, they're all in the operating room, all together. How they operate... Well, that might be a whole other story...

"Hey, what are you two ladies talking about?" Derek Shepherd interrupts at the most inopportune time, ever, for both of them. "Um-" Meredith has no clue how to answer that. "Meredith was just asking me if I missed doing surgery here," Addison lies to him smoothly. The instant that Derek starts nodding at her approvingly, Meredith's shoulders relax just a small bit.

She's again in total awe at just how adept Addison is at lying to Derek Shepherd. But then, maybe Meredith shouldn't be so surprised, seeing as she hid an entire Mark Sloan from him, and she's STILL hiding a near-miss-of-a-mini-Mark-Sloan to this very day (or maybe she told him that, after... Meredith never wanted to ask that, because it's a very sensitive question...)

"Right," Meredith chimes in because she realizes that both Doctor McDreamy's are both looking at her. And this time, Meredith does feel a pang of a sort-of déja-vu for this situation. The situation, in which she stands between Derek Shepherd and Addison Forbes Montgomery and they're all looking at her like she owes them something. And she starts to say "surgery, right..."
