"Abby!" exclaimed Meredith, 2 weeks later. Abby had just come to Meredith's house after unpacking.
"Hi, is Izzie home?" said Abby.
"Uh yeah, in the kitchen."
"Oh Good, come on I brought presents for everyone," said Abby.
"Abbs," squealed Izzie, when she saw her.
"Hi…." Said Abby returning the hug.
"Wow.…why didn't you call? I would have met you at the airport…..you could have called before….Everyone was worried about you," said Izzie.
"Yeah I know sorry. It was just so relaxing, the days just got away from me," said Abby.
"Oh well it doesn't matter you're back now," said Izzie.
"Yeah," said Abby, then she realized there was other people in the room, "Hi George, Dr Shepherd."
"When we're not at the hospital it's Derek," he said.
"Look I'm having Sloan's kid and I still can't call him Mark…." Said Abby.
"Dr Shepherd is fine then," said Derek.
"I brought presents," said Abby.
"Ohhhhh gimmie," squealed Izzie clapping.
"Okay, you need to calm down or I will have to sedate you," said Abby.
"Sorry, it's just so great to have you back."
"It's great to be back….I think," said Abby, "Anyway here is your present." She said handing Izzie a package.
"Ohhhh, a Fijian cookbook," said Izzie, "It's has pages book marked Abby"
"I know, I went to Fiji and had the most amazing local dessert. It was like chocolate, spongy creamy, decadent…but light and yum."
"You want me to make you this then?"
"Yes please, I have been craving it since I got on the plane. If you can keep with enough supply to satisfy this baby, then…..if I need a surgery when it pops out you can scrub in….you can be godmother….hell you can be my "life partner" and raise the baby with me," babbled Abby.
"I don't think it will come to that," laughed Izzie, "but it will be cool to try some new."
"Thank you," said Abby, "I also got you a real present too"
"Oh it's beautiful thank you," gushed Izzie, as Abby gave her a necklace.
"And I didn't forget you lot either," said Abby.
Meredith got a bottle of Fijian tequila, George got a loud Fijian shirt (Hawaiian shirt but from Fiji), and Derek got a mug that said "Who's the Doc?"

"Hold the elevator," shouted Abby on her first day back, as she slid into the elevator.
"Oh….I think I would have preferred the stairs," she said, when she saw who was in the elevator. Derek, Mark, Addison and Meredith.
"Seriously…could this be any weirder?" Abby whispered to Meredith.
"When did you get back?" Mark asked stiffly.
"Yesterday afternoon," said Abby.
"You could have called me"
"I could have, but I didn't"
"How are you and the baby?" he asked.
"We're both fine. The baby started to move a few days ago."
"Move, did it kick?"
"No, more like a rolly poley into my ribs," said Abby.
"That's good then….normal," said Mark.
"Yeah, the maternity nurse said everything was fine…"
"Nurse? Why did you have to see a nurse?"
"Oh it was nothing…..I just ate a bad clam."
"Seafood, we talked about seafood…."
"Oh shut up…."
"Shut up?"
"Yeah shut up. You're not the one that's pregnant here I am…..I'm the one with the morning sickness and the damn cravings….So yeah I shouldn't have had the clam but I paid for it….so just shut up."
"He is right though, you really shouldn't take the risk with seafood or any food that might not be properly cooked or prepared," said Addison.
"Thank you Dr Montgomery I didn't realise that," snapped Abby.
"She was only trying to help….she was being nice, do you remember that Abby nice," snapped Mark.
"Sorry Dr Montgomery, this ass has made me crabby."
"That's perfectly understandable," said Addison, "And if you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to come and see me."
"Thank you."
"So what is it just me that you are incapable of being civil to?" demanded Mark.
"Yes," said Abby slipping out the elevator.
-----------------------------------------
"So where were you?" demanded Alex in the locker room before rounds,
"Fiji," said Abby simply.
"And you couldn't call or tell that before you went."
"You punched our boss"
"Oh he is a lot more than a boss to you."
"He is my boss and unfortunately the father of my unborn child but that is it."
"So you haven't fallen for him?" said Alex, "Because that would be the biggest mistake you ever make. I know guys like Sloan and he will break your heart and leave you holding the baby."
"You're needed in the pit Karev," said Mark, not looking amused at all.
"Oh Dr Sloan….I didn't…."
"Pit," snapped Mark.
"I'm going….We'll talk later Abby," said Alex almost running from the room.
"Was there really any need for that?" Abby said to Alex.
"I think there was. I wouldn't leave you holding the baby you know"
"Whatever."
"I mean it. Everything he said I wouldn't do it to you."
"Look it is completely irrelevant anyway, I haven't fallen for you and I never will," said Abby.
"Alright then….Just thought I should clear that up."
"Consider it cleared up."
