Maddison, because they're my favorite.

The bitterness, the ever-so-present hate in his voice is exactly what drew her in.
Because there's something about the way he yells at her, that behind all of it, it became painfully obvious how much he cared.
The last few days have been filled with her bracing herself for the moment she sees him, she's expecting yelling. Lots and lots of yelling.
And it's ironic that a surgery brings her back to Seattle on this day, because today would've been her and Mark's child's first birthday.
The second she first feels his eyes on hers she bits her lip in nervousness, because after all this is her fault.
(Or so Mark thought.)
She waits for a comment, or some sort of a hurtful remark, but instead she doesn't get anything. All she gets is his eyes, staring into hers.
And she swears she sees tears coming down his face, because otherwise her own eyes wouldn't be tearing up as well.
He takes a step closer to her, but stops himself, as though he's still not quite sure what to do.
Though, when he takes this step the tears prove to be there after all, which then causes her to break down.
He still stands there for a minute before making any sort of move. But then he puts his arms around her and pulls her into his chest.
She's caught off guard, and doesn't know how to respond so she just cries.
And for what seems like eternity, that's all she does.
Then she pulls back a little, but still remains in his embrace. She lifts her head and whispers, "I'm so sorry."
He wipes the tears from her face, "Me too."
He kisses her forehead and pulls her closer to him.
The remain standing like that in the on-call room for half an hour before Addison's pager goes off and she reluctantly walks out, closing the door behind her.
The second it closes Mark stares into the darkness and whispers, "I love you."
Just a short, cute Maddison one-shot(: Please Review, even if it's to tell me you hate it.
