Addison had worked all night last night, so Mark brought the girls up to the floor to see her really quickly before they went to daycare.
"Pity," Sofia said, pointing to Addison's shoes.
"Are my shoes pretty?" Addison asked. "Thanks! I like them a lot."
"Yeah," she nodded.
"Thanks."
Alex walked up. "Sorry to interrupt, but you paged me?"
"Hi," Felicity told him.
"Hey," he smiled. "How are you today?"
"Good," Sofia said. "How you?"
"Alex is having a really good day," Addison said.
"I am?" he asked. "What's 'really' good about it?"
She handed him a piece of paper. "I just got this referral."
It was from Dr. Jareau's office and it had his wife's name on it. "Iz is pregnant?" he asked. After trying so hard, it seemed unreal. Being December second, this made the perfect early Christmas gift, though.
"Congratulations," she nodded. "Jareau knew Izzie wanted me to be her OB, so she just went ahead and sent everything. I don't think her office is open yet, meaning Iz didn't get the call yet. Go tell her, Dad."
"Dada?" Felicity asked, pointing a pudgy finger at Mark.
"I am your daddy," he nodded. "Alex and Izzie are gonna have a baby!"
"Yeah?" Sofia asked.
"We are," Alex smiled. "Are you girls ready for a little friend?"
"Sof fendy."
"You're friendly?" Mark asked. "Yes, you are."
"So, I saw this doll house online that we have to get Sofia," Callie was telling her wife just before rounds on the Pediatric ward.
Callie had been on-call, so they hadn't seen each other until now and she was using these few minutes to catch up before she got paged away. "For Christmas?"
"How much is it?"
"That's the thing," she said.
"Calliope…"
"Eighty-nine, ninety-nine," she answered.
"Ninety bucks?" she replied. "Callie, we could get her so many other things for that price. A two-year-old doesn't need a toy that expensive. Especially since we just did IVF and that isn't exactly cheap. Her Christmas'll still be perfect without the doll house."
"So, ask Mark?"
"Callie, she's not even three!"
"I grew up with rich parents, okay?"
"I grew up with normal kid toys," she said. "And I loved them. Just like Sofia does."
"Stevens!" Callie called out, seeing Izzie coming.
"What?" Izzie asked.
"When you and Karev have kids, how much would you spend on one gift? It's not about price, is it?"
"Well, I'm not her mom, but I ordered Hannah's gift this morning," Izzie said. "It's like forty bucks."
"See?" Arizona asked. "Ninety is a little too excessive."
"I'll go find Mark," Callie pouted.
"Yes, you will," Arizona replied.
Alex got off the elevator. "Iz!" he called out.
"What?" she asked.
"Guess what's we'll be doing next Halloween?"
"Halloween? Babe, it's Christmas time."
"Go with Halloween."
"Fine," she said. "What will we be doing next Halloween?"
"Oh," he replied. "Only having a kid."
"How do you know?" she asked, her eyes lighting up.
"Jareau sent Montgomery the referral last night."
"Yay!"
"Congratulations," Arizona said.
She was finding the few more days that they had to wait for Callie's blood test to be excruciatingly long. Yet, seeing Alex and Izzie's happiness gave her something to look even more forward to.
