Silence filled the small car as the early morning light began to shine through the window. A small whimper startled Mary out of her thoughts as she drove. She glanced back and smiled seeing her son starting to wake up. His little fists rubbing his squinted eyes. She smiled and told him, "Morning baby." He let out a tired giggle and Mary reached back. She ruffled his hair and asked, "did you sleep well sweet pea?" He nodded and told her, "I sore mommy." She nodded in understanding and assured him, "We are almost to the new house honey. You will get to get out of that carseat in about twenty minutes." Alex pouted and snuggled back into his seat clutching his little blanket tight. Mary continuously glanced back and shook her head at her little boy. He looked precious all snuggled up in his t-shirt and diaper. After a few minutes he was softly snoring again. Mary let him be as she drove leaving her baby to sleep in a little bit. When they finally pulled up at their new house Mary turned in her seat and woke Alex. She told him, "sweetie wake up we are here." His eyes flickered open and he whined, "mommy I hungry." She giggled and told him, "Ok pumpkin we will get some breakfast as soon as we get inside." She got out and went around to unbuckle Alex from his carseat. She lifted him out and was waking up the driveway. She noticed a little girl and her mother headed their way. She stopped and waved as she bounced Alex in her arms. The woman told her, "Hi, I'm Ellis Grey your new neighbor. My little girl, Meredith, noticed the moving trucks and wanted to come meet you. She was excited to see all the toys and was hoping for a new friend." Mary told her, "It's nice to meet you two. I'm Mary Karev and this is my son Alex." Alex peeked out from where he was hiding in his mother's chest. Ellis cooed and told him, "hi there Alex, this is my daughter Meredith." Alex waved and asked, Mommy breakfast now? I still hungry." Mary shook her head at her son and asked, "Ellis would you like to come in for coffee?" She nodded and they went inside. Mary made coffee and poured Alex some cereal. She turned to Meredith and asked, "would you like some sweet heart?" She nodded and climbed up next to Alex on the chair. They sat side by side munching cereal as the adults talked. Alex asked "wanna play?" Meredith nodded and the two climbed down and ran off to play in Alex's room. After a while the two women went in search of their children and cooed when they found the two in his room. Alex was laying on the bed as Meredith played doctor. They watched them play and knew then that their 3 year olds were bound to be best friends.
