2 years later.
"Evie can you come down here a second?" Meredith shouted up the stairs of the house she now shared with Addison and Evie.
"Coming Mamma" Evie said running down them "What's up?"
"Come here sweetie" Meredith said leading her to the sofa "I want to ask you something, about me and Mommy"
"Okay" Evie said slowly.
"How would you feel, if me and your Mom got married?"
"Really?" Evie asked with wide eyes.
"Really" Meredith said with a slight laugh "I was thinking of asking her tomorrow, for our anniversary, but I want you to be ok with it, because that would mean that, I'm here forever"
"I want you here forever" Evie smiled "Ask her, she'll be really happy, I know she will"
"Ok" Meredith said softly "I'll ask her"
"Good" Evie smiled.
"Now, do you want to come and pick some rings?" Meredith asked.
"Ok" Evie smiled happily.
"Our little secret though"
"Our little secret" Evie nodded.
~x~
"Mer? You ok?" Addison asked as she lay in bed with Meredith that evening "You seem a little, distant"
"No no I'm, I'm good" Meredith smiled "I'm great, I'm really great"
"What are you thinking about baby?" Addison said stroking her cheek.
"You" Meredith said softly "Us, our future"
"You are?" Addison asked with a small smile.
"Yeah" Meredith sighed "Addie, you are, everything to me, I love you so so much and, I know that we're going to spend the rest of our lives together, so today, me and Evie, we went and bought these" she said pulling a small box out of the bedside table and opening it "And I'd really, really love it if you considered, being my wife"
"Really?" Addison whispered.
"Yes really" Meredith said softly stroking her cheek "I want to marry you Addison, if you want to marry me"
"Yes" Addison nodded, wiping a tear from her cheek "Yes, of course I would" she said kissing her "Yes"
"This one's yours" Meredith said shakily taking one of the rings "Do you like it?"
"It's beautiful" Addison said letting Meredith slip it onto her finger "It's perfect Mer, and yours, it's perfect for you" she said taking the other ring and putting it on Meredith's finger "I love you so much" she smiled.
"I love you too" Meredith said kissing her slowly "So much"
"How the hell did you get Evie to stay quiet about this?" Addison laughed.
"I have no idea" Meredith laughed back "Especially since she's been bouncing off the walls all day about it"
"Why don't you adopt her" Addison said quietly.
"Really?" Meredith asked "You really want me to, really?"
"Mer just because you didn't give birth to her doesn't make you any less of a mother, you're her Mamma, you take her to school and, help her with her homework, you took time off work when she had chicken pox and, you're her Mom, so if you want too, I'd really, really love it if, if she was Evie Elizabeth Forbes Montgomery-Grey" she said with a slight laugh.
"I'd love that too" Meredith said trying to hold back a tear "God you have no idea how much I love you both Addie"
"Oh I think I do" Addison whispered before pressing their lips together.
"Momma, did you do it yet?" Evie shouted through the door, Addison and Meredith both laughed, dropping their foreheads together.
"Come in Evie" Meredith called out, Evie slowly opened the bedroom door.
"How would you like to be the maid of honor when we get married?" Addison asked.
"You said yes?"
"Of course I said yes baby girl, come here" Addison laughed, Evie jumped up onto the bed and sat in between Addison and Meredith.
"What does a maid of honor do?" Evie asked.
"Well she's the boss of all the other bridesmaids, and you like being bossy don't you" Meredith laughed.
"Yep" Evie smiled.
"D'you know what else is happening now me and Mamma are getting married?" Addison asked.
"No" Evie said slowly "What?"
"Mamma is going to adopt you" Addison smiled "So that means that, we're all going to be Forbes Montgomery-Greys"
"If you want to be" Meredith added.
"Yes!" Evie said throwing her arms around Meredith's neck "I love you so much Mamma"
"I love you too sweetie, so much" Meredith said softly "Now come on, back to bed, sleep time" she said tickling her a little.
"Fine" Evie sighed "Night Mamma, Night Mommy"
"Night Evie" Addison said softly "Love you"
"Love you too" Evie said skipping back out of the bedroom.
"Well, that went well" Meredith smiled.
"Of course it did" Addison said kissing her gently "I love you Meredith"
"I love you Addison" Meredith smiled back.

18 months later.
"Mmm, good morning" Addison grinned lazily as Meredith kissed her awake.
"Good morning baby, Happy Anniversary" Meredith said brushing their lips together again.
"Happy Anniversary to you too" Addison smiled.
"I want to talk to you about something later, when Evie's with Nae"
"What is it honey?" Addison said stroking her cheek softly.
"It can wait until tonight, over dinner, I'm cooking remember"
"Are you sure that's a good idea" Addison said eyeing her carefully.
"Addie, trust me" Meredith laughed "I've got this in the bag, I promise"
"Are you sure?" Addison asked.
"I'm sure" Meredith smirked.
"Happy Anniversary!" Evie said bursting into the room.
"Good morning baby girl" Addison laughed "Come on up" she said patting the bed, Evie jumped up onto the bed and settled herself between Meredith and Addison.
"Do I have to go to school?" she asked.
"Yes Evie" Meredith said with a slight laugh "Aunty Nae is picking you up remember, you're going to have a nice girly sleepover"
"But its your anniversary, I should stay here with you and celebrate!" Evie exclaimed "I'll be really really good I promise"
"Yes you will, at school" Addison smirked.
"Fine" Evie sighed.
"Come on, let's go and get you some breakfast" Meredith said kissing Evie's temple.
"Ok" Evie said climbing off the bed "You have to come too Mom"
"I'll be right there sweetie" Addison said softly.
"You have to come with Mamma" Evie said with a smile "You have to come to breakfast together"
"Okay" Addison said slowly, herself and Meredith followed Evie down the stairs.
"What's all this?" Meredith asked with a slight laugh as they looked at the table set up with flowers, juice and an array of breakfast food.
"I made this for you" Evie said passing them a handmade anniversary card.
"Evie it's beautiful, thank you" Addison said kissing the top of her head "Did Uncle Sam help you with all of this?" she asked with a knowing smile.
"Only with the hot stuff but I put it all on the table by myself" Evie said proudly "He used his spare key and came over to wake me up before your alarm, we kept it secret all week!"
"Wow Evie, thank you" Meredith said hugging her "Do you know what else this is an anniversary of?"
"What?" Evie asked.
"The day you sweetie, officially became my little girl, and that was the best part about marrying your Mom, I love you Evie"
"I love you too Mamma" Evie said hugging her tightly.
"I love both of you" Addison smiled softly "Now come on, let's eat"
"Ok" Evie smiled, instantly heading for the stack of pancakes, Meredith and Addison laughed softly before joining her.
~x~
"Mer? Do you need any help in there?" Addison called out as she sat in the living room that evening.
"I'm almost done Addie, relax" Meredith called out with a slight laugh.
"It's your anniversary too" Addison said moving to stand by the kitchen counter "I feel like I should be doing something"
"Why don't you set the table then" Meredith said with a small smirk "This should be ready in 5 minutes"
"What are we even eating?" Addison asked as she started to set the table "It smells great"
"Don't sound so surprised" Meredith laughed "It's Risotto with Asparagus, which is an aphrodisiac if you didn't already know" she said raising a suggestive eyebrow, Addison laughed at her a little "And then for dessert, well, you'll have to wait and see won't you"
"I guess I will" Addison said with a slight grin "I can't believe you cooked without burning anything"
"I may have been spending a little time with Sam while you've been working" Meredith said with a small smile as she served up the Risotto "I just wanted to do something different for our first anniversary, and me cooking, definitely different"
"Well thank you baby, I'm sure it tastes amazing" Addison said moving to her side and kissing her softly.
"Sit down, I'll grab the wine and be over in a second" Meredith smiled, Addison lit the candles she had set up on the table and sat down, Meredith placed their plates on the table and poured 2 glasses of wine.
"Well…." Meredith said expectantly, Addison took a bite of the Risotto, Meredith watched as she chewed and swallowed.
"Wow, Mer that's great" Addison smiled "I think you should try and cook more often"
"Baby steps Addie, baby steps" Meredith laughed "Can you believe it's been a year?"
"Not really" Addison said softly "It's been, the best year, the wedding, you adopting Evie, everything has just, fallen into place"
"It has" Meredith smiled "Thank you for letting me into your life" she said kissing her gently "In to both of your lives, it means, the world to me Addie"
"You mean the world to me" Addison smiled back "I'm, so happy we found each other again, properly this time"
"Me too" Meredith said squeezing her hand, they smiled at each other again before eating a little more.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" Addison asked "This morning you said you wanted to talk to me about something"
"Oh, yeah, right, that" Meredith nodded "I just, I know this is, a bit, out there and, probably not what you're expecting me to say but, I was thinking that, maybe, maybe we could think about, me maybe, having a, a baby" she stuttered "I mean you know I love Evie like she's my own and, she is, she is my own, she's my daughter, I just thought that maybe she'd like a brother or sister y'know? But if you're over the baby thing then, then that's fine it's, it's just a suggestion and…"
"And breathe" Addison said with a slight laugh "Mer I, I think, I think it's a great idea"
"You, you do?" Meredith stuttered.
"I do" Addison said softly "Extending our family, having a little mini-Meredith" she teased "I think, it's perfect for us, Evie will love it, she's always wanted a brother or sister, and me, I'd have 10 kids if it were possible" she laughed "So, when you're ready, if you really want to do the whole thing, then we can talk to Naomi"
"Soon" Meredith said squeezing her hand "I want to do it soon"
"Ok then" Addison smiled "We'll talk to Naomi"
"Ok" Meredith smiled "I love you Addie"
"I love you too" Addison said softly.

1 year later.
"Momma, is the baby ever gonna get here?" Evie sighed as she lay on Meredith and Addison's bed with Meredith, snuggled against Meredith's side, her hand on the 1 week overdue baby bump that protruded from Meredith's body "Because you said she'd be here last week"
"These things never go as planned sweetie" Meredith said with a slight laugh "But hopefully Aunty Nae and your Mom are going to let me have the good drugs that make her get here even quicker" she chuckled.
"I hope so too" Evie smiled "Am I gonna be a good big sister?"
"Of course you are sweetie" Meredith smiled "She loves you already"
"She does?"
"Oh yeah, whenever you talk to her she always kicks me, she likes your voice, say something to her"
"Ok" Evie said quietly, she moved to kneel on the bed and leaned down closer to Meredith's bump "Hi baby sister" she smiled "I can't wait to meet you, we're going to have so much fun and Mom and Mamma are the best Mommies in the world, so you have to come out soon"
"Here, see" Meredith said taking her hand and putting it on the spot where the baby kicked hard.
"Wow" Evie laughed "Does it hurt?"
"Sometimes, but only for a second, she's probably more uncomfortable than me all squashed up in there"
"I guess so" Evie said lying back next to Meredith.
"There are my girls" Addison smiled as she walked into the bedroom "How are you feeling honey?"
"Ok" Meredith said with a small smile.
"Mom, can you please give Mamma the good drugs so the baby can get here?" Evie asked.
"The good drugs huh?" Addison laughed "Have you had any Braxton hicks today?" she asked Meredith.
"A couple this morning" Meredith sighed.
"Baby been moving around much?"
"About the same as usual"
"Then no, Mommy can't have the good drugs yet" Addison smirked "But, maybe tomorrow we can go to the practice and take a look"
"Yes!" Evie said excitably "Did you get more soda Mom?" she asked as she jumped off the bed.
"In the refrigerator" Addison replied.
"Thank you" Evie said running from the room, she ran back in and kissed Meredith's cheek before running back out of the room and down the stairs.
"I have no idea where she gets her energy" Addison laughed as she moved to lie on the bed next to Meredith "You can have the good drugs soon honey" she said pecking her lips.
"Good" Meredith sighed "Why doesn't she want to come out?"
"Because you've made such a good home for her in there" Addison said stroking her stomach softly.
"Usually I'd tell you off for being corny, but because I'm feeling hormonal, I love you" Meredith said kissing her gently.
"I love you too" Addison said with a slight laugh "Honey she'll be here soon, I know she will, and she is going to be so perfect"
"Yeah" Meredith said with a small smile "And then we'll have 2 perfect daughters"
"We will" Addison smiled "I love you all so much" she said moving to place her lips on her bump "I love you baby girl, and I can't wait to meet you, your Mommy and Mamma's little angel and your big sister is so excited…."
"Ow" Meredith groaned out, suddenly clutching at her stomach.
"Mer, honey are you ok?" Addison said sitting up "Is it a contraction?"
"Yeah, I think so" Meredith said breathlessly "It's probably just Braxton Hicks"
"Are you sure?" Addison asked rubbing her bump a little.
"No" Meredith said shakily "Because, because I'm pretty sure my water just broke"
"See, I told you she'd be here soon" Addison beamed "Ok, you just stay calm, I'm gonna call Naomi, and, and we're gonna do this ok?"
"I'm scared" Meredith whispered tearfully.
"Sshh I know, I know it's scary but everything is going to be ok" Addison said gently stroking Meredith's cheek "I promise you"
"Ok" Meredith sniffled "Let's do this then"
"Let's do this" Addison smiled.
~x~
"Ok Evie are you ready to meet your baby sister?" Addison asked as she crouched down in front of Evie hours later.
"Yeah" Evie nodded with a smile.
"Ok" Addison smiled back, she stood up and took Evie's hand to lead her into the birthing suite, the door closing behind them.
"Hi sweetie" Meredith smiled softly as she cradled her newborn in her arms "Come on over"
"Ok" Evie said quietly, she walked over and stood next to the bed, Addison lifted her so she could sit next to Meredith.
"Evie, meet Lucy Abigail, Lucy, meet your big sister Evie" Meredith smiled.
"Hi Lucy" Evie whispered "She's so small Mamma"
"Yeah" Meredith said softly "She is, do you want to hold her?"
"Can I?" Evie smiled.
"Sure, Addie can you…"
"Of course" Addison said taking Lucy from Meredith's arms and helping Evie hold her, Meredith supporting her from underneath.
"I love you Lucy, and I'm gonna be the best big sister in the world" Evie said kissing her forehead gently "And we have the best mommies in the world too" she whispered.
"Sweetie, kiss her again for me so I can get a picture" Addison said pulling out her camera.
"Ok" Evie smiled, she reached down and kissed Evie's forehead again, Addison quickly took a picture.
"Beautiful" she smiled "Just beautiful" she said taking in the view of her family, Meredith caught her eye a simply smiled, never feeling so complete.
The End.
