Chapter 20
"Meredith, I'm pretty sure that I did something really bad." Lexie announced as she sat down to lunch with her sister and their usual group.
"Lexie, whatever it is I'm sure that the world isn't going to end over it." Meredith rolled her eyes at her younger sister. She had a tendency to be just a little dramatic sometimes.
"No, this was really, really bad even for one of us." Lexie disputed.
"Lexie, just tell us what you did and then we'll decide if you should be shunned from society or not." Christina threw out there.
"I got drunk and slept with someone that I shouldn't have last night." Lexie replied only giving them half the story.
"Lexie, we've all been there that's nothing to be ashamed of. I get drunk and sleep with inappropriate women all the time." Alex assured her.
"I met my husband in a bar while he was still married." Meredith pointed out to her.
"Unless you slept with Sloan it can't be all that bad." Christina tried placating her.
Lexie's face fell at the mention of Mark's name. "I think what I did might be worse than if I had slept with Mark."
"Lexipedia, stop beating around the bush and just tell us, I'm sure we're not going to ostracize you. You're not the first one of us to get drunk and sleep with someone you shouldn't have." Christina promised her.
"I slept with Addison's father." Lexie rushed out of her mouth and then she hid her face in her hands.
"Dude, Montgomery will kill you if she ever finds out. I mean seriously pull out her surgical skills so it'll look like an accident kill you." Karev threw back his head and laughed.
"Oh my God, Lexie, what were you thinking?" Meredith demanded of her a look of disbelief on her face.
"On the list of stupid shit that we've all done I'm pretty sure that this makes the top five list." Christina commented amusedly. Of course she would find this whole situation funny.
"I know I'm a horrible person, I know that ok?" Lexie muttered shaking her head back and forth.
"Is this like a revenge thing for you or what?" Meredith asked her.
"No, it's not even like that. I met him at Joe's last night and one thing led to another and I ended up going back to his hotel room with him. I kinda wanted to die this morning when I walked in and Robbins said that he's Addison's father." Lexie explained. She wasn't so torn up over Mark that she would do something like that for revenge.
"Calm down, you're fine, she's not gonna kill you. She would kill you for sleeping with Sloan I'm not going to deny that, but you didn't know he was her father she's not that unreasonable." Christina reassured her.
"Lex, you'll probably get lucky and she won't even find out about it. 'Cause I'm sure as hell not gonna tell her then I would be the one who would have to deal with the mood it put her in." Alex tried calming her.
"Karev, I don't know how the hell you work with Montgomery everyday. She has yelled at me for every move I've made today." Avery bitched throwing his lunch tray down on the table.
Alex wore a smug smirk on his face that said 'see what I mean'. "Just roll with it, the pregnancy hormones make her pretty cranky in the mornings, so she should be less of a bitch this afternoon." He advised him.
"Evil Spawn, being on Satan's good side is not something to be proud of. It just means she happens to not hate you." Christina told him rolling her eyes.
"Montgomery's good side is a nice place to be she lets me do some pretty cool surgeries." Alex bragged. "And I say again she's hot it's not a hardship to look at her all day."
"Alex, being captain of the vagina squad is also not something to be proud of. You know that Sloan will kill you if he hears you say that." Meredith pointed out.
"I'm just saying the last three c-sections she's had she let me do by myself. I can't help it that it's true, she is damn hot." Alex replied.
"I have to agree with Karev, she is pretty hot. That's the only upside to being on her service." Avery agreed.
"I still don't understand why all the men in this hospital drool over her." Lexie threw out there.
"It's the legs," Karev and Avery answered in unison.
"That's because you've reached minion status, even Batman lets Robin drive the Batmobile every once in awhile." Christina reasoned with Karev logically. "And I asked you not to perv on Satan anymore in front of me, because it's really gross."
"Now that is a great analogy given the two of them spend most of their time exploring the Bat Cave. And it just can't be helped, Yang, she is hot." Avery laughed and everyone else went silent. "And she's right behind me isn't she?"
"Dr. Avery, I would really think that at this point in your career you would be able to discuss female anatomy in more mature terms. Even my extremely juvenile boyfriend doesn't say things like that. The same boyfriend who would probably make your life hell if he knew you were looking at me like that." Addison said from over his shoulder. She had her hands on her hips and she was rolling her eyes at him.
"Dr. Montgomery, I was just making a joke. Not that you aren't very attractive, because you are." Avery covered quickly.
"Don't worry about it, Avery, I'm used to it. You residents are little more than teenage boys stuck in the bodies of grown men. We'll see if you still find me that attractive when I'm blown up like a beached whale." Addison retorted cutting him some slack.
"Yes, ma'am," Avery piped up immediately. He found it best to say that when he didn't know what else to say to her. She intimidated the hell out of him.
"Karev, I heard you were on your best behavior with my father in the OR this morning. As a reward I have a hysterectomy and a c-section on the board this afternoon that I'm gonna let you take the lead on. That is if you're interested in coming home where you belong." Addison dangled a carrot in front of his face.
"Robbins and your dad are doing a hernia repair this afternoon that Grey and I are scrubbing in on." Karev replied.
Addison looked thoughtful for a moment. "I have an in utero hernia repair that I will not only let you scrub in on I will let you take the lead on it." She bartered.
"Make it the tumor you're removing in utero and I'll come back home to you. You're good, but your dad is a legend." Karev countered.
"I'll let you assist on the tumor removal, you're not ready to fly solo on that yet. Just remember that I'm the Montgomery you'll be stuck with when he leaves." Addison offered.
Karev thought about it and stuck out his hand. "You've got yourself a deal, Montgomery."
"Pleasure doing business with you, Karev." Addison replied shaking his hand.
Alex stood up and offered her his chair. "I still have to do your morning blood pressure reading." He explained as he sat her down. He pulled a blood pressure cuff out of his lab coat. He had to take her blood pressure so much he had just started carrying it around with him.
Addison held out her arm to him. "Just make it quick." She ordered.
"Is it normal to keep that close a watch on a pregnant woman's blood pressure?" Meredith asked out of curiosity.
"No, it's not, but your sister-in-law is worried that because I'm over thirty-five that I'm going to develop preeclampsia. Actually Mark is worried and she's placating him." Addison explained.
"Avery, had badly did you screw up this morning? Her blood pressure is one-fifty over eighty. I know that's not really high, but it only spikes like that when she gets pissed." Karev accused the other resident.
"Karev, I didn't do anything." Avery swore to him.
"Karev, he didn't do anything, it's my father being here. My parents both drive me a little crazy, my blood pressure should go back to normal after he leaves." Addison assured him.
"Your blood pressure stays up like this and I'm gonna have to tell Sloan and we both don't want me to have to do that." Alex reasoned with her.
"We aren't telling Mark any such of a thing he'll freak out." Addison reminded him.
"Then you work on keeping your blood pressure down." Alex countered.
"I'll work on it." Addison promised.
"You better, if I'm gonna give up the chance to work with a legend this afternoon." Karev told her.
"You're the one who came to me, Karev, it's your own damn fault that you know what I like in the OR." Addison reminded him.
"Yeah, don't remind me." Karev retorted rolling his eyes.
"Are we done here? I have to get to lunch with my boys." Addison asked.
"Yeah, we're done, I've got what I need." Karev replied.
"Dr. Montgomery, what about me?" Avery asked her.
"Avery, you can stay on my service for the rest of the day if you want to. Karev is only taking the lead on two procedures that should only take a couple of hours combined." Addison replied.
"I'll see you in the OR then." Avery smiled at her.
"I'll see you in the OR, Avery." Addison smiled back. She turned to Lexie. "Little Grey, I apologize right now if my father has in anyway come onto you today. He doesn't mean anything by it, it is just his way." She told the younger woman.
"Oh, no, he's fine, he's been a perfect gentleman." Lexie replied quickly.
"Good, I'm glad to hear that normally I can't trust him around younger women." Addison said before she walked away.
"Oh my god, she is totally gonna kill me if she ever finds out." Lexie groaned when she was out of earshot.
"She's not gonna find out, 'cause we're gonna keep our mouths shut. Again, I'm the one who has to deal with her when you people piss her off." Karev reminded her.
"What are we talking about?" Avery asked looking around confused.
"Don't ask," The others yelled at him in unison. He threw up his hands in a sign of surrender and went back to eating his lunch.
Mark consulted his watch and nervously bounced Carson around in his arms. "Addison should have been here by now. I swear if I have to go drag her out of an OR to make her eat I will." He knew that his girlfriend had a tendency to skip meals if she lost track of time. He wasn't going to let her do that while she was carrying their baby.
"If you did that I'm thinking you would be on our couch and that's after she beats the hell out of you." Callie pointed out to him.
"After she has you beat the hell out of him, you're her bodyguard right now, remember?" Arizona reminded her.
"Oh, that's right, I'd have to beat the hell out of you and then let you sleep on my couch." Callie informed Mark.
"Mark, do they normally pick on you this much?" The Captain asked him.
"Robbins does, Torres is normally on my side though, but Addie has claimed her for the duration of her pregnancy." Mark chuckled.
"Mark, a word of warning she's pissed," Derek said as he sat down.
"Did you push one of her surgeries back again?" Mark asked him.
"No, he opted to do brain surgery on one of her pregnant patients while I did open heart surgery after she told us both that the patient couldn't handle it. The patient coded three times and she had to do an emergency c-section." Teddy admitted as she sat down.
"That'll do it," Mark said simply nodding his head. He started rocking Carson gently when he started fussing. "Shh, I know, buddy, you're hungry, we're just waiting on mommy to fix your bottle." He cooed.
"Mark, may I?" The Captain asked holding out his arms.
"Of course you can, he's cranky because he's hungry, so try not to take it personally. He normally has a pretty good personality." Mark handed him over.
"I had two babies of my own once upon a time, I can handle him." The Captain assured him. "Hello, Carson, I'm your grandfather, but you can call me Captain." He spoke to him gently.
"His own kids call him that, Carson." Addison walked up and kissed her son on the head. "Here's his bottle if you want to feed him, daddy." She held up his bottle.
"I would love to." The Captain took the bottle from her and put it in Carson's mouth. "Go easy on me, it's been about forty years since I've done this." He told the little boy.
"Daddy, I am only thirty-eight." Addison protested.
"I said about forty." The Captain corrected her.
Derek bit his lip to keep from laughing Addison was pissed off enough at him as it was. "Addie, I brought you a peace offering, peanut butter cookie." He slid the cookie in front of her.
"This in no way makes up for you doing that surgery earlier." Addison told him, but she still took the cookie.
"You're bribing my girlfriend with peanut butter cookies now?" Mark asked sounding highly amused.
"I'm just trying to save myself." Derek replied chuckling.
"I'll say this and I'm done, that procedure could have waited a day until I had her more stable." Addison threw out there.
"Noted," Derek retorted dryly. He knew better than to argue with her, because it would just start a big, long drawn out debate that he wasn't in the mood for.
"Arizona, I'm taking Karev back for the afternoon, just so you know when you can't find him." Addison told the younger woman.
"That's fine, we still have Little Grey. I'm honestly surprised that he didn't bolt and run back to you after we finished that surgery earlier." Arizona chuckled.
"I had to bribe him with a hysterectomy and a c-section to get him come home where he belongs." Addison laughed.
"So, that's why he never wants to be on my service anymore. You let him do surgeries on his own that a lot of fifth year residents don't get to do on their own." Arizona replied knowingly.
"Karev knows what he's doing, I wouldn't let him pick up a scalpel in my OR if he didn't. I have a chance to teach him more, because no one ever wants to be on my service. It's easier to just deal with him than it is to deal with one of the other idiots whining about being on the gynie brigade or the vagina squad or whatever the hell else it is they're calling obstetrics this week." Addison explained.
"I believe they might be calling it hell, seeing as the head of obstetrics is known as Satan and all." Bailey said taking a seat.
"Dr. Bailey, what brings you by our table this fine day?" Mark asked fixing a charming smile on your face.
"Don't try turnin' that McSteamy charm on me, Sloan, especially not with your pregnant girlfriend sittin' right here." Bailey scolded him.
Addison laughed heartily at that. "Miranda, let's get to the reason you're really here." she pointed at her father. "Miranda Bailey, I would like for you to meet my father, William Montgomery."
"Dr. Montgomery, it's an honor to meet you, sir." Bailey said extending her hand.
The Captain shook her hand. "Please, call me the Captain," he had to reposition Carson to make that work, but he handled it.
"Bailey, don't let him try to charm you. He thinks it works on all women." Addison warned her.
"Do I look like I can be charmed?" Bailey asked raising an eyebrow.
"I know that you can't be charmed, I was just warning you, he will try every chance he gets." Addison retorted.
"Just let him try charming me, I can't be charmed. Hell, I'm about as charming as a rattle snake." Bailey mumbled.
"Classic Bailey," Derek joked shaking his head.
"Shepard, don't you start with me, you're nothin' more than a pretty head of hair." Bailey told him seriously.
"I'm the Chief of Surgery." Derek pointed out to her.
"Oh please, I could name ten other people who are more qualified to be Chief. My prime candidate is sitting at this table." Bailey scoffed.
"Thank you for recognizing my obvious talent." Mark said puffing up with pride.
"Sloan, there is no way in hell that I would ever recommend you to be chief of anything, except maybe the VD Squad. I was talking about Addison, she's more qualified to be Chief than any one of you turkeys." Bailey corrected him.
"I run this hospital, Derek just does the paperwork and deals with the board." Addison winked at her.
"She does have a point." Teddy agreed with her.
"Mark, the women in this hospital are gonna be the death of us." Derek told his friend.
"Hey, you get no sympathy from me, I have to deal with the ringleader." Mark pointed out to him.
"I have no comment right now that won't get me in trouble, so I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut." Derek stated with a grin. He laughed when Addison glared at him.
"Shepard, don't anger the beast, I'll have to kick your ass if you do." Callie warned him.
"Why is Torres your bodyguard?" Bailey asked.
"She breaks bones for a living, that tends to make grown men afraid of her. I have to go with what works." Addison replied with a shrug.
"Come on, Red, taking a little break between surgeries doesn't make you weak, it makes you a good mother." Mark said pulling her down onto the bed beside him. He had paged her to an on call room in hopes of getting her to take it easy.
"You know that it's no fair bringing the Peanut into this. I can't refuse you anything you ask when you bring the kids into this." Addison reminded him.
"I've told you that's why I do it." Mark chuckled lightly resting his hand on her stomach.
"You are bad, I don't know why I love you so." Addison retorted with a smirk.
"I love you too." Mark said laying her back on the bed gently.
"What are you doing, Mark?" Addison asked clearly confused.
"I'm saying hi to the Peanut." Mark answered her with a peck on her lips. He started rubbing her stomach gently. "Hi, Peanut, it's daddy again. I know that I just talked to you this morning, but I want you to know that I'm thinking about you and I can't wait to meet you."
"Why do you like talking to Peanut so much?" Addison asked him a grin lighting her face. She loved it that Mark wanted to be so involved with her pregnancy.
"I may have read in a book that talking to your baby in the womb helps them get to know you." Mark replied shrugging it off like it was no big deal.
"You're reading pregnancy books?" Addison asked unable to keep the amusement out of her voice.
Mark looked down sheepishly. "As much as I like you explaining to me what's going on with the baby, I wanted to be able to keep up with what you're saying." He admitted.
"Mark, I happen to think that it's very sweet. You are a great daddy and I can't imagine having babies with any man but you." Addison told him rising up to kiss his lips.
"Does that mean you'll let me make love to you and help you relax right now?" Mark asked her hopefully.
"Mark, I only have twenty minutes before my next surgery." Addison told him.
"You can be a little late it's not like they can start without you. Besides, I only need ten minutes." Mark reasoned with her.
"Actually, I think Karev would start without me." Addison commented dryly.
"That's your fault, you created that particular monster." Mark pointed out to her logically.
"Mark, you really don't want to waste time talking to me about Karev right now." Addison countered.
"No I don't," Mark agreed attacking her neck with his lips, knowing that that would get her going pretty quickly.
"Derek, these floor plans are perfect. I don't know where you found them, but Addie is going to love them." Mark told his friend. They were in a conference room with blueprints spread out across the table.
"Mark, I was with the woman for fifteen years, I think I know what she likes by now." Derek chuckled.
"I think you and I just might know her better than she knows herself." Mark agreed with a laugh of his own.
"I still say that Operation Homestead is going to make her go ape shit." Derek threw out there.
"You just let me worry about that. I don't think she's gonna get too pissed off though." Mark replied.
"You only hope she's not gonna get too pissed off." Derek corrected him.
"Forgive me for being optimistic." Mark commented dryly.
"I'm all for optimism, I'm just telling you that Addie is a little bit of a control freak and she's not gonna like that you didn't consult her about this." Derek reasoned.
"She happens to like it when I do sweet things for her. As a matter of fact doing things like this gets me laid a lot." Mark informed him.
"That's the pregnancy hormones talking, just wait until she's back to normal." Derek laughed.
"Don't even go there with the hormones they are not a nice thing to deal with. She cried for like an hour this morning because she couldn't fit into the dress she wanted to wear." Mark cautioned him.
"Sloan, you have no one but yourself to blame for her out of control hormones right now. You're the one who thought it'd be a good idea to knock her up." Derek couldn't help throwing that out there.
"First of all, I didn't knock her up, I got her pregnant. And second of all, it's not like I was trying to get her pregnant it just happened." Mark corrected him. He didn't like it when people said he knocked Addison up it made his child's conception sound dirty and vile.
"Relax, Papa Bear, I was only playing with you." Derek said patting him on the back.
"Do you think you and Meredith will ever have a kid?" Mark asked just to make polite conversation.
"I would like to, I'm just not sure she's there yet. God knows I never thought I would see the day when you were a father before me." Derek replied.
"I went and grew up on you while you were busy moving on with your life." Mark pointed out to him.
"If you were that grown up Addison wouldn't feel the need to make sure you have a babysitter every time she leaves town for a couple days." Derek joked with him.
"You said it yourself, Addison is a control freak and she's scared that I'm going to go off the rails again and do something stupid that'll land me in the hospital like the time you had to cut into my head." Mark informed him.
"Sloan, you scared the hell out of all of us. You can't do anything like that ever again." Derek told him seriously.
"You have nothing to worry about. I won't do anything like that ever again. My kids need their daddy and I want to be around to see them grow up." Mark promised him.
"In all the years I've known you, I never thought that I would see you this excited about being a father." Derek said nodding his head clearly impressed.
"I'm telling you, man, Sloane walking into the pit turned my world upside down, but in a good way. I just didn't realize it at the time, that boy is the best thing to ever happen to me and I would not trade him for anything in the world." Mark admitted.
"You are less of a menace to society now, I'll give you that much." Derek agreed.
"That's mostly thanks to Addie. She won't put up with any bullshit." Mark retorted with a shrug. He would be the first to admit that he had been bad before Addison and Carson had set him straight.
"This day has been entirely too long." Callie commented to Addison cracking her neck. They were standing side by side at the nurses' station finishing up their charts for the day.
"I'm pregnant, how do you think I feel?" Addison asked her in reply.
"I know that I don't envy you right now. I don't know how you stay on your feet all day." Callie replied.
"It's not so bad now, but in just a couple more weeks it'll get bad." Addison informed her.
"Is it true that you make one of the interns hold a bucket in case you have to puke?" Callie asked laughingly.
"That was Karev's doings, it makes him feel important to torture interns." Addison laughed as well.
"It makes your boyfriend feel important to torture interns." Callie pointed out to her.
"If I'm torturing them, it's to get them to learn a lesson at least. Mark is just lazy and doesn't want to run his own errands or get his own coffee." Addison threw out there.
"Hey, I don't judge, whatever works," Callie laughed.
"You ready to go?" Mark asked walking up with Carson in his arms. He was in his street clothes and ready to get out of there for the night.
Addison smiled up at him as she finished the chart she was working on. "I'm ready to go anytime you are."
"Then let's get out of here for the night." Mark replied throwing his arm around her shoulders.
"I love the sound of that." Addison said resting her head on his shoulder.
