Chapter 22: Day 21 of 28

For one of the first times since this all began, Meredith Grey headed in to work early before Addison Montgomery when she got paged in on a case.

She took her car, leaving Addison her own, and had a note left under the pillow for her.

And with that, Meredith arrived and hopped right in to treat her emergent patient, all the while her girlfriend was at the top of her mind.

When Addison woke up that morning she shivered with cold, and rolled around in bed for a few moments wondering where the blonde had gone.

"Meredith?" Addison grumbled, annoyed slightly that her girlfriend wasn't still snuggling her.

She found the note when she nearly knocked it off of the bed, reading:

"Good morning love, had to go into work and you were so cute sleeping I couldn't bear to wake you. Have a great day!"

Addison turned it over and over again, happy that she knew that Meredith is safe. Still, she cherished their morning cuddles and kisses, and she feels a little bit lonely to be left to her own devices.

"Good morning Meredith, how are you...?" Addison asks absently as she gets up to prepare her own coffee. She takes two of Izzie's muffins and warms them up on a plate with butter, and then she gets her mug and settles down to read the news.

It's achingly quiet, so Addison turns on the radio to tune it out.

Now that she thinks about it, Addison texts Jake Riley to see how her son is doing.

"Hello Addison," says Jake.

"Hi, how's the little man?" Replies Addison.

"Hold on, I'll put him on for you," Jake offers.

"Okay," says Addison, feeling a bit better already.

"HIYA MOMMAAAAAAAAAA," Henry Montgomery shouts a little into the phone.

"Hey, no need to squeal momma's ear off," Jake laughs.

"Oh it's so good to hear from you," offers Addison. "How have you been?"

"Good," says Henry. "Internet school is fun. They mail us boxes and we get to do crafts," offers Henry.

"Oh nice! What have you made so far?" Inquires Addison.

"A solar system!" Says Henry, as he beams at his mother.

"Whoa, the entire thing!" Addison exclaims excitedly.

"Nearly!" Says Henry. "All of the planets and all of the sun and the moon, but the other stars are just so far away!" Offers Henry.

"Awesome!" Says Addison.

"How are you?" Offers Henry empathetically.

"I'm well, I miss you," says Addison with a sigh.

"Miss you too! And where's Merdif!?" Henry inquires.

"Ah, she's at work," says Addison.

"Oh. Do you miss her?" Henry asks her.

"Yeah," answers Addison honestly.
