1 month later.
"Are you sure this is the right house?" Callie asked as she stepped out of the car.
"I'm sure" Mark smirked "I followed the directions and she said it was about a mile past her old one and we went past that, why d'you doubt me woman?"
"Because" she shrugged.
"Whatever, m'lady" he said holding out his hand to Teddy.
"Thank you kind sir" she grinned.
"You make me sick" Callie groaned.
"Wow, someone's cranky today" Arizona teased.
"I'm just tired, sorry" Callie mumbled "Now, come on, lets go see the baby!" she said excitably walking quickly towards the front door.
"What's with her?" Teddy smirked.
"No idea" Arizona laughed.
"Callie, hi!" Addison said happily as she opened the door "It's great to see you" she said hugging her tightly.
"You too, now, where's this godchild of mine?"
"Right in there" Addison laughed pointing to the living room "Arizona, hello"
"Congratulations, again" Arizona said giving her a hug "She ran off to find her already?"
"Yeah" Addison smiled "That way" she said pointing in Callie's direction.
"Mark" Addison said quietly "Thank you for coming, for agreeing to, thank you"
"Stop stuttering and give me a hug Addie" he smirked.
"So you don't hate me anymore" he mumbled into his chest.
"Addison I didn't hate you, motherhood has made you neurotic"
"Shut up" she said hitting him on the chest "You try waking up 3 times a night with a screaming one month old who only wants you for your milk and wipe that look of your face, don't try and make it dirty"
"You know me too well" he laughed "Where is this godchild of mine anyway?"
"Follow me" Addison smiled "Oh and hi Teddy" she said squeezing her hand "Thanks for coming"
"No problem" Teddy smiled.
"Oh Addie, she's beautiful" Callie smiled softly.
"She's pretty amazing huh" Addison smiled.
"Where's Sam?" asked Mark.
"Gone to get more diapers, shouldn't be too long, anyone want anything to drink?"
"No I'm good" said Mark.
"Teddy?"
"No, I'm fine thank you"
"Cal, Arizona?"
"We're good" Arizona smiled.
"Right, well that was easy, shall we sit?"
Everyone took a seat on the sofas, Mark sat with his arm around Teddy's shoulder, Arizona and Callie sat with Harper resting in Callie's arms, Addison sat on the floor in front of the coffee table.
"So, what's the plan?" asked Mark.
"I thought we could go into the practice this afternoon, I know you wanted to have a look Cal and then we'll come back here for the evening and tomorrow we need to get to the church for 11 and when we're done we're coming back here for a little party thing" Addison smiled.
"Sounds good to me" Callie smiled "Does Uncle Mark want to hold her?"
"Sure" Mark smiled softly, Callie stood up and stepped over to Mark, she slowly placed Harper in his arms and sat back down next to Arizona.
"Hey you" Mark said softly "Wow, your beautiful, she has your pout" he smirked.
"Shut up" Addison groaned.
"She's precious" Teddy smiled leaning close into Mark and peering into the bundle in his arms.
"You did good Addie" Callie smiled.
"I'm home" Sam shouted as he walked through the front door.
"Living room" Addison shouted back.
"Hey" Sam smiled as he walked into the room.
"Hey" everyone replied.
"Isn't she beautiful" he grinned.
"She is" Arizona smiled.
"Sam, help me up" Addison said holding her arms out.
"You're getting lazy" Sam laughed, he stepped over to her and pulled her up giving her a soft kiss "I missed you"
"I missed you too" she smiled kissing him again.
"You're one of those sickening kissy kissy couples aren't you" Callie shuddered.
"Pretty much" Addison laughed "Ooh, you should come and see the nursery" Addison said happily.
"Would love to" Callie said standing up "Come on Ari, Teddy" she said obviously wanting to leave Sam alone with Mark, the women all quickly left the room.
"So…." Sam started.
"So" Mark sighed.
"What happened to us Sloan?" Sam asked calmly.
"What happened to all of us Sam? Everything, everythings different, we're all different"
"She likes you" Sam said softly as he watched Harper quietly sleep in Mark's arms.
"She's asleep" Mark muttered.
"Trust me, she knows who she likes, she'll wake up if she doesn't like you, she loves Addie the most though, definitely a Mommy's girl" Sam said sitting on the sofa next to Mark.
"She's so beautiful" Mark said taking in her appearance "You'll be chasing boys off your doorstep with this one"
"I tried that with Maya and look where that got me" Sam sighed "I'm a Grandpa, and a father to a newborn, Harper's nephew is 3 months older than her"
"How is Maya? She coping and everything?"
"Seems to be" Sam nodded "Thank god, how's Sloane Sloan?"
"She gave the baby up for adoption then disappeared" Mark said sadly.
"I'm sorry man" Sam said patting his arm "I know you wanted to make it work"
"Maybe it's for the best, I'd make a terrible father, I already am, I gave her Mom the money for an abortion Sam, then 18 years later she turns up on my doorstep pregnant and alone, I'm a terrible father"
"You were young and scared Mark, but you're not a terrible father, you were great with her y'know, Sloane, and you will get another shot at it, I mean look at me and Addie"
"Yeah" Mark said softly "I guess you're right"
"I am" Sam smirked.
"Guys, we ready to go to the practice?" Addison asked stepping into the living room.
"Sure" Sam said standing up "Come on Harper lets go get you settled in the car" he said slowly taking Harper from Mark and leaving the room.
"You ok?" Addison asked quietly.
"I'm good" Mark smiled "I'm happy for you Addison"
"Thank you Mark" she said softly.

"Baileys right, this place is like a spa" Callie muttered as the group stepped out of the elevator at Oceanside Wellness.
"Shut up" Addison laughed.
"That's not a bad thing" said Callie "It's, nice, calm"
"Oh, believe me, things in this place are never calm" Sam laughed.
"Cooper leave me alone" Charlotte spat storming from the break room.
"You leave me alone" Cooper shouted after her.
"Exhibit A" Addison smirked "I'm going to have serious words with them before the christening, I don't want any of their relationship drama ruining the day"
"It won't" Sam smiled softly "And if it does we'll just fire them"
"Right" Addison laughed.
"Is needle dude around?" asked Mark.
"You mean Pete?" Addison smirked "He works downstairs with Nae remember, they'll probably be up for lunch"
"Hey" Violet smiled walking up to them "Hey Harper" she cooed peering into stroller "Addie she's getting so big"
"Violet, you saw her yesterday" Addison smirked.
"Oh shut up" Violet scoffed.
"Ok ok" Addison laughed "Violet this is my Seattle Best Friend Callie and her girlfriend Arizona and you remember Mark"
"Of course" Violet smiled.
"And this is his girlfriend Teddy"
"Nice to meet you all" Violet smiled "I have to go and do a consult with Sheldon but I'll see you later?"
"Sure you will" Addison smiled.
"Bye everyone" Violet smiled stepping into the elevator.
~x~
"Ok, who wants chocolate?" Addison asked.
"Oh me, I do" Callie grinned.
Addison walked over to her desk and pulled out a box of chocolates "Me, Nae and Violet all have stashes" Addison laughed.
"So…." Teddy started "Does this co-op medicine thing really work?"
"Most of the time" Addison nodded "Things aren't always easy, there are a lot of bumping heads and complications but, I like it" she smiled "I hated it at first, had no idea why on earth I moved here but, I got used to it, I still get OR time so, it's nice, to have time to just, relax"
"Ahhh, relax, I'm beginning to forget that word" Arizona laughed.
"You should all just move out here, we can squeeze you in" Addison laughed.
"Or you could just come back to Seattle" Callie said hopefully.
"I left for all the right reasons Cal" Addison said softly "Life there was just, hard, well it's hard here but, it's different, no ex-husbands or ex-mistresses or ex-interns, just me and this crazy bunch of people I call family"
"Ex-interns" Teddy said with a raised eyebrow "I've heard all about the Derek and Mark stuff but interns?"
"She did the nasty nasty with Alex Karev" Callie said with a grin.
"Callie!" Addison whined "Shut up"
"All we need now is for Teddy to sleep with him and then you 3 have shared 2 men" said Arizona.
"What?" Addison screeched "You slept with Alex! How do I not know this?"
"It was years ago, before I even met George! And there were no feelings whatsoever, it was one time!"
"You haven't slept with Derek have you?" Addison said with a smirk, Callie reached across and smacked her leg "It was a joke!" Addison laughed.
"Babe, we have to start making our way to the church now" Sam said stepping into the office.
"We'll be right out" Addison smiled.
"Ok, I love you" he said with a grin.
"Love you too" she grinned back, Sam stepped back out of the room and Addison let out a happy sigh.
"God look at you" Callie laughed.
"Do you remember when Derek was doing that whole 'Bright and Shiny' thing that made me want to puke?"
"Yeah" Callie smirked.
"Well screw it, because me? I'm bright and shiny" Addison grinned.
