Chapter 10: Baby Names, New Houses?
Disclaimer: I do not own Grey's Anatomy.
A/N: Okay, so I read the most wonderful review I have ever read and I dedicate this chapter to Pinetail is Addek-ed to Grey's! I will be sure to use at least all the names you suggested and some of my fellow reviewers! Oh, and if you're wondering how much I know about houses, I had to help my mom and dad to look for a house, which we are living in happily! And I watch House Hunters and other house related shows. Though, I've never seen one in Seattle! (chuckles) Don't ask me why I watch the shows! Enjoy the new chapter!
"Quinn?" Mark asked. Addison shook her head as she looked through the newspaper, drinking the hotel coffee in the middle of the bed. Mark was sitting on a chair near the window, drinking coffee, too, looking at houses and baby names on his laptop. It was a nice Saturday morning, although it had rained the night before. Surprise surprise. They were throwing houses and names back and forth and they can't figure out what they want.
"Sophie!" Addison exclaimed. Mark shook his head and she groaned. "We'll never find a name."
"Hey, look," Mark walked over and sat next to her, putting the laptop screen to her face. He read the description of the house, "A nice four bedroom, two-story house, with a patio and a pool. An adjacent garage can fit up to three cars. Hardwood floors on both floors and updated kitchen and bathrooms since 2004. Two fireplaces, one in the master bedroom, and one in the living/family room. A jet spa tub and a huge walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This house is located in a nice cul-de-sac and is a walks away from a hospital. Almost 3000 square feet with a lot size of 8000 square feet. On the market for 500,000 dollars."
Addison stared at the stucco facade and the red shingles and the porch, oh the porch, really selled her. He clicked on other pictures: the pool, the master bedroom, and the closet! It was huge. It was more like a bedroom. He clicked the pictures of the kids' room, one neutral brown, the lightest color of melted chocolate, one bright yellow, like the petals of a sunflower, and one azure, the color of the sky, only a little bit darker.
"How about Lily? It's like the flower. Maybe Lucy? Maybe Michael. Patrick? We could call him 'Ricky.'" Mark rambled on and on and did not notice Addison wasn't paying attention. She simply stared at the slideshow on the laptop screen, the pool, to the master bedroom, to a fireplace, to the kids' room.
"That one Mark," Addison said, disrupting Mark's rambling.
"Clara? Maybe," Mark replied.
"No, not that! I mean the house!" Addison pointed to the pictures, blinking on the screen.
"This house? It's nice but maybe," Mark said. He laid his body down in a much more comfortable position next to Addison.
"No. It's the one," Addison replied. She had a big smile on her face and reached for her phone. She dialed the house's realtor and decided to put a bid on it. "Mark. This is the one. Are you ready to buy it?"
"I'm ready if your ready," Mark smiled back at her. Addison turned back to the phone.
"Is there anyone else bidding on the house?" Silence. Addison nodded her head. "How much?" Silence. "They're bidding on what the house is for? Uh huh." Silence. She put a hand on the phone and asked Mark, "We need a higher bid. 510,000?" He simply nodded and Addison told the realtor. "Okay." She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, wrote down a number and went back to talking. "I'll talk to you tomorrow. Goodbye. Oh, and my name is Addison Montgomery. Thank you. Bye."
"So?" Mark asked.
"We might get the house," Addison simply replied. A smile formed on her lips and she kissed at Mark furiously. She pulled away after about a dozen kisses. She abruptly left the bed to go to the bathroom, vomiting again. Mark followed her and held her hair and rubbed circles in her back. She flushed the toilet and splashed water in her mouth. "How about Ryder?" she asked, wiping her mouth with a towel.
"Maybe. Daniel?" he asked back. This went on for a long time. Charlotte, Alyssa, Luke, Alexander, Spencer, Riley. Aurora, Dakota, Abigail or Abby, Henry, Caleb, Andrew. Paige, Maeve, Megan, Lilly, Lucy, Caroline.
"I always loved Carson," Addison abruptly said, ending Mark's reading from a baby name website. "It can be good for a boy or girl."
"Girl," Mark said, point blank.
"Girl. What's your favorite?"
"I don't have one. Remember, I'm the man whore who knows, or knew, he wasn't going to have kids anytime soon." He paused. "When we found out the sexes of the babies, I thought of all the possible names I like. I like this change. It feels... good." Addison smiled. "Gabriel. That's the name I like."
"Gabriel and Carson. What about the last girl?" She rubbed her belly. "Maureen or Jasmine?"
"Cassidy. Cassie." He smiled, not knowing why he liked the name. "I really like Cassidy."
"Cassidy, Gabriel, and Carson. Oh boy, I wonder how Gabe will grow up with two sisters. I have a feeling that they will use him for dress ups." She laughed and he laughed, too.
"I don't think I can handle my boy in a dress."
I love the names. :D Thank you Pinetail for the wonderful list of names. And reminding me that Carson is Addison's favorite name. Review please!
