Falling Apart, Barely Breathing

Chapter 38: As We Know It

Author's Note:

Finally, a little longer one than the very very short sexy-and-fluff ones the past couple days.

Thanks for your patience with those, sometimes we all need a break!

Enjoy this next one, it's been a long time in the making.

There are also a few lines here taken directly from "Something Beautiful" by LezBeDaizy, which I consider to be probably my absolute favorite MerAdd story of ALL TIME, along with their other words "The Journey To Here", "MerAdd One-Shots", "The Curve Of Everything"...

Anway, just because it's likely you read those first, when you see a line taken a bit from there, I guess I'm trying to absolve my guilt and trying not to plagiarize.

I'm just saying that some of the wording was just so perfect I could not get it out of my head.

So shout out to YOU LezBeDaisy, and let the good times rock and roll for Chapter 38 of FABB!

PREVIOUSLY ON "FALLING APART, BARELY BREATHING":

There's also the fact that this room is sort of super awkward and dangerous and a land-mine now.

Because Addison knows that Izzie knows about her whole story and identity as the 'mystery person' but has promised not to give Meredith any more hints so Addison can break the news about it all for herself.

And Izzie knows that Addison is thinking this as she tries to be a good and fair teacher to both of them while secretly crushing on Meredith while Meredith is secretly crushing on her right back.

And THEN there's the whole question of Anna and Emmett, who both know that Doctor Montgomery and Doctor Grey are both having 'love problems like you wouldn't BELIEVE'.

And that Meredith had made a 'secret admirer' gift and that Addison had a 'secret admirer' and that they figured these things were related but they weren't going to say that to either of them.

And they didn't know that Izzie didn't know about the whole 'secret admirer' whole thing; only about the 'mystery person' thing so she was missing a secret admirer mystery, so to speak.

And Meredith knew that Addison had had a wet dream and called out for her in her sleep, and Addison knew that Meredith had been watching her get undressed only mere minutes ago.

And all of this plus two babies still-unnamed with the placeholders "X" for the girl and "Y" for the boy are really starting to make things extremely exciting for the day they should finally be able to operate on these two patients, at long last for everyone involved...
