I rolled over in bed and smiled when I came face to face with Mark. He was staring at me.
"Morning beautiful." He said and kissed me. I grinned.
"Good morning Mark." I said. Mark smiled. Teo ran in and jumped onto Mark.
"Oof, watch it kiddo." Mark groaned.
"Daddy I'm hungry." Teo whined. Mark sighed and sat up in bed.
"Alright kiddo, give me a minute and I'll make you some eggs sound good?" Mark asked. Teo nodded and hopped down off of Mark. I smiled.
"Guess my plans for the morning are ruined." Mark murmured and climbed out of bed. I smiled and pulled the covers in closer. Teo was four now and even though he wasn't Mark's, he loved Mark like his daddy. His real dad had died when he was three months old. I buried my face in the covers and closed my eyes. A few minutes later I caught a whiff of the eggs and my stomach turned up into a knot. I hopped out of bed and ran to the bathroom; I made it just in time and threw up last night's dinner into the toilet. Mark came in.
"Cal? Oh Cal." He said and knelt down next to me. I groaned and leaned back against him breathing deeply.
"Mark." I panted. He felt my forehead.
"Callie, you're burning up." He remarked. I groaned and leaned forward to throw up again. Mark rubbed my back and held my hair. Little feet thundered into the room.
"Daddy, what wrong with momma?" He asked.
"Mommy's sick buddy, but she'll be okay. Go eat your eggs." Mark told him.
"Otay. I love you momma." He said and ran out of the room. I made sure I was finished and leaned back on Mark again. Mark picked me up and carried me back to our bed. He sat a bucket down on the floor next to me.
"I'm going to take Teo to daycare and then I'll come home and take care of you." Mark said and pushed my hair back out of my eyes. I nodded and curled up into a tight ball. I fell asleep while Mark was gone. I woke up when I heard the door close. I instantly rolled over and threw up into the bucket. When Mark came into the room I was leaned over the bucket. He helped me lay back down and felt my forehead. He returned a few minutes later with the thermometer. He got me to open my mouth and he stuck the thermometer in. After a minute it beeped and he checked it.
"What is it?" I asked.
"102.4" He told me. I groaned.
"Mark, you need to take me to see Addison." I told him. He raised his eyebrow at me.
"Why?" He asked.
"I think I'm pregnant." I told him. His eyes grew wide. He pulled out his phone.
"I'm going to call her and see what she wants to do." He told me. I nodded and buried my face into my pillow.
"Addison hey, Callie's sick and throwing up continuously, she has a fever but she thinks she's pregnant too." Mark explained. "Okay, I'll bring her in." He said and hung up. He came over to me and lifted me out of our bed. "Come on Cal, Addison wants to run a checkup." He told me and carried me to our car. He situated me in the backseat and climbed in the driver's side. It didn't take long for Mark to get to Seattle Grace Mercy West. I convinced him to let me walk to meet Addison in the Maternity ward's exam room. Addison was waiting for us. I climbed onto the exam table and she began to examine me. She drew some blood and sent it off for testing.
"When was your last period?" Addison asked.
"Six weeks." I said thinking about it for a minute. She nodded. Mark's pager went off.
"Callie, I'm really sorry. Richard's paging me 911. Addison take care of her okay?" Mark said and kissed me on the forehead. I nodded. Addison smiled at me.
"How are you and Alex?" I asked Addison. Addison and Alex had a little girl named Bailey who had just turned two.
"Good." She said smiling.
"How's Bailey?" I asked.
"Cute as everything." Addison told me. I smiled. I suddenly felt a stab of pain in my stomach. I grimaced. "Callie, are you okay?" She asked.
"My stomach hurts." I said like it was nothing. Addison lifted up my shirt and felt around my abdomen.
"Your abdomen's swollen, we need to run a CT." She decided. I sighed.
"You think it's appendicitis don't you?" I asked. Addison nodded.
"That's exactly what I think." She told me and helped me into a wheelchair. Thankfully there wasn't a line and we were back in the exam room before anyone noticed. My blood tests came in around the same time we got back to the room and Addison went to go get them. When she got back she was smiling.
"I'm pregnant?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yes you are!" She smiled. "Here, let me run an ultrasound and we'll see how far along you are." She suggested. I nodded. Despite feeling like crap I was so excited to have a little one on the way. She moved the wand around.
"How does it look?" I asked. She smiled and showed me the screen. There were two fetus's on the screen. I gasped.
"Callie, it looks like you are having twins, and you're about eight weeks." Addison told me.
"Oh my gosh. Teo's going to be so excited." I smiled and instinctively rubbed my stomach. Addison smiled. Her pager went off.
"I'm going to go grab your CT scans okay?" She told me. I nodded and continued to stare at the image of Mark and I's twins. Addison came in about twenty minutes later, by then I had analyzed every detail of the twins.
"Is it Appendicitis?" I asked. Addison nodded.
"Dr. Bailey's been paged." She told me. Bailey came in almost as soon as the words had left her mouth.
"Torres? You're my Appy?" She asked. I nodded. Bailey sighed.
"Alright, I'll have Steward set you up in a room." She said referring the Intern beside her. She waved. Bailey shook her head and left the room with Addison. Dr. Steward helped me into the wheelchair.
"You're the Ortho Attending right?" She asked. I nodded. "I like Ortho, that's what I'd like to specialize in." She told me and helped me into a bed. She hooked me to and IV and all of the required monitors. She glanced over my chart for a few minutes before deciding to hook me to a fetal monitor.
