Author Note: I do not own Grey's Anatomy or any of its characters or plot lines. I just own my OCs and my original plot lines. I hope you're are enjoying Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). And, remember if you don't like, don't read, it is as simple as that.

Intimacy is a four-syllable word for, "Here are my heart and soul."

Meredith is writing a check to her mother's long-term living home, at the small desk in the study. Meredith puts the check into the already prepped envelope, and sealed it with a quick lick.

"Please grind them into hamburger and enjoy."

Eddie Sousa was sipping the orange smoothie she had made for breakfast, one of her newest cravings. She was getting ready for her shift in the hospital which started in an hour. She had made her way to the computer, to check her emails. Nothing.

She had emailed her mother when she'd gotten home and told her about the baby. She didn't know why, maybe some left over guilt, or the thought her mom might finally come around and want a relationship. But, all she had was a return to sender email. Her heart sank slightly at that.

"Don't worry, peanut." Eddie said, she had taken to calling her baby peanut so she wouldn't keep calling her baby an 'it'. "You and I will be okay, won't we. You and me, always."

She tried to push away the disappointment as her phone rang, and the ID said "ELI" on it.

She had found her own family. She had Eli and his mother, she had her intern family: Meredith, Cristina, Izzie, George, and even Alex, and she had her resident Miranda Bailey. They were happy to have her in their lives, and they were all excited about her peanut. Maybe, just maybe, this is what she needed. She didn't need her mom, Step-Stan, or her sisters. She had a found family and her peanut.

It's both desired and feared,

George O'Malley was in the shower, a place you'd think is scared, meaning that you'd be alone. But, not in this house. Izzie made her way into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

 Difficult to live with...

"Uh, excuse me! Excuse me!" George yelled as Izzie brushes her teeth and walks out without even acknowledging George's comment.
