Chapter 1
It was 11:50PM on Christmas Eve when 5 year old Sofia was still awake and playing with Mark in the playroom of Seattle Grace waiting her her mommies to finish up thier surgeries for the night so she can go home and get ready for Santa to come and go to bed so she can wake up early to open her presents with her mommies and is rubbing at her eyes.
"sleepy there little goose?" he wonders
"uh huh." Sofia nods and rubs her blankey against her face
Mark looks up at the clock "well your mommies should be finishing up soon." he tells her
Sofia just nods and yawns.
Mark goes over and picks her up and sits her on his lap letting her cuddle against his chest and strokes her head and hair kissing the top of her head and just rocks her sitting on the floor with her.
Arizona comes down from her surgery and goes to open the door realizing Mark is having a moment with his daughter and pulls her hand away from the door knob watching them from the window and just smiles at them.
Callie comes down a few minutes later "hey we should probably get her home and to bed." she goes to reach for the door knob
"no wait!" Arizona says fast
"what?" Callie wonders
"look." Arizona points quickly
Callie looks and watches and smiles and holds her from behind.
Arizona just smiles leaning back into her.
"he's so good with her." Callie says
Arizona just smiles "yeah he is." she says and just sighs tiredly
"long day?" Callie wonders
"extremely." Arizona tells her
"awe." Callie says
"so we should probably get her home now so that Santa can come." Arizona tells her
"yeah." Callie says and smiles and opens the door slow
"hey Mommy and Mami are here." she says softly
"hey." Mark says softly picking up his daughter and stands up handing Sofia to her
Callie smiles and rubs her back softly.
"thanks for playing with her all evening." Callie tells him
"your welcome." he says and just smiles slightly at them
"so do you guys need help getting the p.." he goes to say presents from thier new storage closet in thier hallway
"Mark." Arizona shakes her head putting her finger over her lips
Sofia whines tiredly with her eyes closed sucking her thumb.
"shh." Callie keeps rubbing her back softly
"alright we should get home and get her to sleep." Callie says
"I'll walk with you guys." Mark tells them
"okay." Callie says
They leave the hospital together as a family.
