Addison's POV

"Mark Sloan, you're an idiot!" I yelled, smacking him across the back of his head. He rubs the spot and looks at me. I hope it hurt. He's a complete dumbass.

"That seems to be what everyone is calling me these days. Richard also called me a fool and Yang punched me." He said, indicating the cut under his eye. He dropped into a chair, putting his face in his hands and sighed heavily. I folded my arms and looked down at him.

"Good, I hope she rattled that pea sized brain of yours. What where you thinking? Like the girl hasn't been through hell and back. You knock her up and leave! Do you know how much this is going to kill her? Callie isn't as strong as she let's people believe." I yelled. He shrugged his shoulders, causing me to smack him again. This time harder. He grabbed the back of his head.

"Damn it Addie! That hurts. Look, I don't know what I was thinking! I panicked ok? I didn't mean for things to get this far, but I'm falling for her. Every damn time she walk into a room my heart begins to speed up and I start sweating." He explained. I sighed and sat down next to him. I put my arm around his shoulder and lean into him.

"That's called love you moron. And if you would think with your heart and not your penis you'd see that. Callie isn't like me mark. She wears her heart on her sleeve and for her to actually trust you to try something for you, was a huge step. You're an ass for leaving her like that." I said. He looked at me then sunk his head lower.

"Are you going to call me more names? I'm pretty sure there are more that would describe me right now." He said, defeated. I tried my best to stifle the giggle in my throat. Mark glared at me, causing my to laugh.

"I'm sorry but seeing you like this is hilarious! Mark Sloan in love! I though I'd never see the day!" I squealed, trying to stop laughing.

"It's not that funny! I've been in love once." He said, looking at me. I rolled my eyes and hugged him.

"You weren't in love with me. You were in love with the idea of me. You wanted to up Derek for once in your life." I explained. Mark sighed and groaned.

"God, I hate when you're right! I am an idiot. What am I going to do?" he asked. I rolled my eyes at him. Was he really this stupid?

"Jesus Mark, do I have to spell it out for you? You go back to her. Beg her to forgive you. You make up to her and show her you're ready to grow up." I said, laying my hand on his knee. He put his hand on top of mine and sighed again. I wish he'd stop doing that. It's getting on my nerves.

"Addison what if I'm not ready to be a father. What if she won't take me back?" he asked. I rolled my eyes and squeezed his hand.

"Who are you and what have you done with mark Sloan? The Mark I left in Seattle would have never run away like this."

"He's gone and I don't want him to come back. I'm a changed man Addison but the old Mark still likes to poke his ugly head in from time to time. You should have seen me. The moment she told me she was pregnant and that she was keeping it, I lost it. I got cold and clammy and stuttered. I told her I would help with expenses but she slapped me and told me and I quote 'I don't need your fucking money.' Then she slapped me." He said, exhaling slowly. I smiled and shook my head. Way to go Cal.

"Look, get your ass back in that car and go back to Seattle. You tell here you're an idiot and tell her you love her. I'll even call and warn her that your coming so she can get Yang out of the way, cause she's not going to make it easy for you to get near Callie. Why the hell is yang so protective of her anyway? Isn't she always up Meredith's ass?" I asked. Mark chuckled and smiled since the first time he stepped into LA.

"Callie's living with her. She moved in a few weeks after the whole George and Izzie thing happened. They are nearly inseparable. Addison, I'm going back. I need to make this right and be a father to my child. Thank you for making me realize my own stupidity." He said, hugging me.

"No problem. How about you stay the night and go back in the morning?"

"No, I can't stand being away from her. It's killed me for the past few days because; I've avoided her. I need to see her and hold her in my arms. I have to apologize for all of this." He said, standing up. He gripped the handle on his over night bag and slung it over his shoulder. I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Ok. Go to her." I whispered into his ear.

"Thanks, Addie." He whispered back and returned the hug. He pulled away and walked to the door.

"Oh, and Mark?" I called after him. He turned around, his hand on the doorknob.

"Yeah?"

"Don't hurt her anymore." I said, raising my eyebrows. He smiled and turned the knob.

"I won't, I promise. Bye, I'll call you the minute I land." he said, and pulled open the door and walked out. I laughed and grabbed my cell phone and dialed.

Callie slept soundly in an on-call room, her arm thrown behind her head and a pillow tucked between her knees. He know a baby the size of a peanut could kill your back, not to mention standing over a table for four ours trying to stabilize a spine. One hand rested gently across her abdomen, as if she were protecting her child. The sound of her annoying ring tone brought her back to reality as it sounded. She groaned as she fished the phone from beneath her pillow. She rubbed her eyes as she flipped it open to see the caller id. She smiled slightly to see Addison's number flashing. She hit the talk button and put it to her ear.

"You'd better have a good excuse from waking me up." She said, sarcastically.

"Well you just wake your Latin ass up and talk to me." Addison chuckled from the other end.

"But I don't wanna. I was in back to back surgeries all morning."

"Back to back? Girl get off those feet! You can't be doing that in your condition."

"My con… How the hell did you know? I've not told anyone except Cristina and the dumbass father."

"Exactly, that dumbass father came to see me. He was all freaked out because he left."

"He's with you? Really?" She said, with a little hope in her voice.

"Well, not now. He just left actually. He's on his way back there. I left two rules, don't sleep with Mark and don't get pregnant. You broke them both."

"Hey in my defense I didn't expect to sleep with him. I flirted because it made me feel better about what happened with George. I didn't think he would actually pursue it. I know exactly when it happened too. The first time we slept together in the closet. Damn that was good sex."

"Spare the details Callie. I'm not mad. I'm happy for you actually. Just a warning; Get your little girlfriend out of the way when he comes back."

"My girlfriend…Oh Cristina. Why?"

"Apparently she punched him and threatened to make sure your kid was his last if he came near you." Addison said, laughing. Callie started laughing as well.

"Aww, she really does love me! Don't mind that. But he's coming back? When?"

"He just left, not even resting. He should be there sometime tonight. Are you on-call?"

"Unfortunately. And Oh my god, I swear this kid knows when I'm in surgery. I mean I know it's the size of a damn peanut but that peanut has caused me to have to puke in the middle of a knee replacement and today I almost puked onto a patients spine, not to mention I have to pee every half hour. Not too good for a 4 hour surgery. By the time I'm done I have to race to a bathroom before my bladder bursts. I'm totally not going to enjoy this pregnancy."

Callie could hear Addison laughing from the other end but she could also hear the sound of disappointment in her laugh. Callie immediately felt guilty for talking about the pregnancy.

"Oh, Addie, I'm sorry. I'm a moron."

"No, no it's ok. And you're not the moron. The moron is on his way there to get you back. After a few slaps to the back of the head and a good talk he realized that he loves you and can't be without you."

"Oh, but what does he think about the baby. Addie when I told him he said he wanted nothing to do with the baby. He said he wanted ready to be a father. It made me feel like my child wasn't good enough for him because it wasn't yours. Oh damn it Addison, it did it again. I'm just not going to talk ever again."

"Stop that. I deserved that I guess. When he thought he was ready I wasn't. Callie listen to me, Mark is and idiot I'll admit that, but I saw him in a way I've never seen him before. I saw a broken man, something Mark has never been, not even when I left him. I think I may have actually seen tears in his eyes, he'll never admit that. He loves you Callie, I know it and from the sound in your voice you love him too. Give him his second chance. He wants to make up for his stupidity and step up as a father. Cal, I'm going to tell you something."

"Ok?"

"Mark's childhood isn't something he talks about. His mother and father were an arranged marriage and he was only conceived for an appearance that his family had to uphold. He's never had a real parent's love. His mother and father both had affairs. His father never talked to him like a father should with his son. He's also an only child. His mother had gotten pregnant when mark was 8 but she purposely threw herself down a flight of stairs. She said she couldn't bear to look that horrible again not to mention the child wasn't even her husband's. That would have been scandalous for their families. Mark finally got see family love when he went college. He met Derek and his parents took him in just as if he were their son.

"He tried to find love but he really didn't know what it truly was, not even with me, but he has found if finally in you Callie. I can see it in his eyes. He loves you more than I even think he knows. All he did was talk about how he couldn't stand being away from you and that not a single woman caught his eye when he was with you. He said he tried to flirt when you slapped him and told him to basically go fuck himself, but he couldn't do it. All he could think about was seeing you and holding you in his arms. He even said when he looks at you from across the room you make his heart race and his palms sweat. No woman has ever done that to him. Give him that second chance Callie. He wants to be with you and raise your child together. I know he does." She explained. By the time she was finished she was crying and so was Callie.

"I'll try, but Addie, he hurt me, more than George ever did. Sure George cheated and left me for Izzie, who by the way seems so intent on rubbing it in my face, but that's not the point. I guess what I'm trying to say is I think I do love him and I think that's why it hurt so much that he would just give me and the baby up so easily. I was happy yet terrified the day I found out I was pregnant. I had to take four tests and I sat on the toilet for hours crying, until Cristina found me. By the way did you know she was pregnant?"

"Yes, who do you think did her surgery?"

"I should have guessed that. I was afraid to tell him because I thought he would run. Anyway, she said and I quote 'Tell him that you're carrying a McBaby and if he runs then he's the ass. At least you made the effort to tell him he was a sperm donor.' I laughed and decided to tell him and he ran. I lost it the other day when I went to his office to give him that second chance because it was killing me to be away from him and found him gone. I asked everyone and they said he just left and didn't say anything. I was terrified about raising this baby alone. Cristina assured me that I wasn't alone. You'd be surprised at what being left at an alter can do to a person. She's completely changed. Though she would never admit it." Callie said. She sat up and her stomach screamed that her action was a bad idea. She groaned.

"Cal, are you ok?" Addison asked her from the other end.

"No, Mark's baby is a pain in my ass. Addie, I have to go or I'm going to hurl all over the on call room floor." Callie said softly trying not to jar her stomach anymore. Addison giggled a little.

"Shut up, it's not funny. You need to come back and help me through this. As much as I like Karev, I'd much rather have you, as my OB, and god knows Izzie Stevens isn't touching me. But seriously I gotta go." She said, quickly and hung up the phone before Addison could say another word. She stuffed the phone into her pocket and got up. She ran to the door and hurried out of it in search for the nearest bathroom. She finally leaned over a garbage can and emptied her breakfast, which consisted of mainly orange juice. George saw Callie puking in the trash and he rushed over to her. He tucked the chart in his hand under one arm and rubbed her back with the other. She sighed but didn't care who was touching her. The motions were helping.

"Callie, are you ok?" George asked, when she finally finished. She grabbed rolled her eyes and started to walk away.

"I'm fine George, just go back to work." She said, pulling a pack of saltines from her pocket. She opened them and nibbled on one before she decided that her stomach wasn't going to allow them to get past her tongue, so she put the back in her pocket. George grabbed her arm and looked up at her, then his eyes traveled to her abdomen then back up at her.

"Oh my god, you're pregnant!" he said, in a hushed tone. Callie pulled her arm away and folded them across her chest.

"Could you not broadcast that to the whole hospital please? I don't want people knowing."

"Oh, then it's not…" he started, clearly disappointed.

"No George it isn't yours. If it were I would have told you instead of hiding it. "

"May I ask, who?"

"You can but I'm sure you're not as stupid as people think you are, you can figure this out. There's only been one guy since you George."

"Sloan."

"And we have a winner. Look, I can't do this right now. I barely sleep and I can't stay away from the bathroom long enough to get anything done. I'm physically and emotionally exhausted. I don't have the energy or the will power and discuss my sex life and pregnancy with my ex husband."

"I understand. But just one more thing; Izzie and I, we're over. I couldn't be with her. It felt wrong. I'm sorry."

"I hate to say I told you so."

"Yeah." He whispered, looking down at his feet. He looked up at her and brushed her cheek with his thumb.

"I miss you." He whispered. She pushed his hand away.

"I wish I could say the same. This ship has sailed and unfortunately you weren't on board. Goodbye George." She said, turning on her heel and walked down the hall. She smiled at herself, proud that she had finally gotten the courage to let him go completely.

Callie picked up her phone and dialed the number to Cristina's pager, telling her to meet her in the locker room ASAP. She walked down the stairs and turned into the locker room. She sat down on the bench and waited for Cristina. She glanced at her watch and on cue Cristina ran into the locker room.

"You paged?" she asked excitedly.

"Look, I'll get Hahn off your ass, if you promise to not castrate my baby's father. He's coming back. He went to see Addison and apparently he's feeling horrible about everything. He wants to be a part of the baby's life. Addison explained everything to me. Pleas please, I'm begging you don't kill him. If you love me at all you will do this for me." Callie begged. She put her lip out and began to pout. Cristina rolled her eyes and folded her arms.

"I told you that doesn't work on me and fine I won't kill him but he has to prove himself. And trust me I won't make it easy." She said. Callie squealed and hugged her.

"Oh thank you, thank you! He won't be here until later this evening. Addison said he went there and turned around and came right back." She explained letting her go.

"Don't count your blessings yet, I'm still going to have a talk with him. But I'll stay away so he can talk to you. Be careful I don't think I can stand listening to you cry yourself to sleep anymore. There is only so much I can take and listening to my friends cry all the time isn't one of them." Cristina said, sitting down.

"You're thawing out. You really have been a great friend Cristina. Thank you for everything." She said, laying her head on Cristina's shoulder.

"Whatever, don't mention it. We're the same. We're the scary and damaged ones." Cristina said, shrugging Callie off her shoulder. Cristina's pager went off and she grabbed it. She looked down at the number and sighed.

"Gotta go, Meredith emergency. I swear I'm going scream if she brings up her mommy issues again. She's dead, get over it!" Cristina said, getting up and going to the door. Callie giggled.

"Have fun. I'll talk to Hahn and the Chief about her attitude toward you. I'm going to get my patient prepped. I have a kid who needs rods put in his spine. See ya later." She said, waving her off as Cristina walked out of the room. Callie decided to get a new pair of scrubs an freshen up a bit. She was sure she smelled like vomit.

After the tedious surgery and 4 more hours of a restless sleep, Callie stood in the cafeteria, with a cup of coffee in her hands. She brought the up to her lips and breathed in the warm steam and aroma. She pressed it to her lips ready to take a sip.

"Callie Torres, drop that cup now!" someone yelled from across the cafeteria. The sound startled her and she dropped the cup, splashing coffee all over the floor and her pants.

"What the hell?" she said, spinning around. A huge smiled spread across her face when she saw Mark standing at the end, a bouquet of calla lilies in one hand and a teddy bear and gift bag in the other. She took off running and he dropped the things in his hands and scooped her up into his arms as she came closer. He pressed a kiss onto her lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Cristina was sitting at a table, smiling a little. He sat her down and cupped her face with his hands.

"Oh baby. I'm so sorry. I'm an idiot and every name you could ever possibly think of. I'm a coward. I shouldn't have left. You're the most important thing to me; you and the baby. All I could think about was holding you in my arms and kissing your soft lips and telling you how much I love you. I do Callie; I love you more than I've ever loved anyone in my life. I don't ever want to lose you. You are an amazing woman and you're giving me the best gift I could ever have. You're giving me the chance to be the father my father never was. Please baby, give me a second chance. I want to be with you, only you and I want to help you raise our child." He explained, looking deeply into her chocolate eyes, which were filled with tears. All eyes were on them, but Callie didn't care. All she could see was Mark in front of her telling her everything she wanted to hear. Her heart raced and all she could do was nod her head. Her brain stopped working and she was unable to form a word. Mark smiled and kissed her once again. Once he pulled away he bent down and placed his hands on her stomach and pressed a kiss into her.

"Hey this is your daddy speaking. I'm here to stay and I'll try my best to be a good dad to you. You just have to bear with me ok?' he said, pressing another kiss into it. Callie placed her hands on his head and giggled as he talked to her stomach.

"You know the baby can't hear you right?" she said, looking down at him. Mark looked up at her and smiled, shrugging his shoulders.

"I don't care. I'm getting a head start." He said, standing back up and kissing her again.

"Oh before I forget." he said and leaned over to pick up the items he had dropped. He handed the flowers to her and then the teddy bear.

"These are for you and this is for the baby." He said, handing her the gift bag. Callie reached into and pulled out a mint green onsie. She smiled as she read the caption on the shirt. 'My mommy can kick your mommy's butt.'

"There's more, keep digging." He said, taking the onsie and holding it. Callie shook her head and reached back in to the bag. She pulled out a few more onsies this time pink, displaying 'Daddy's princess', 'If you think I'm cute, you should see my mommy,' and a pink blanket. Callie looked up at him and raised an eyebrow.

"You bought a lot of pink. What makes you think it's a girl?"

"She is a girl. Daddy's little girl at that." He said, kissing her lips. She smiled and hugged him.

"I love it all. So much for keeping the pregnancy a secret, you kind of just announced it to the entire hospital when you yelled at me to drop my cup."

"No coffee for you."

"It was decaffeinated you moron. I'm a doctor too remember?"

"I know, but work with me here. I'm flying without a manual." He said, stuffing the gifts back into the bag. He laced her fingers with his and she led him to the table with Cristina. She dropped the smile she was wearing and stared at Mark. He leaned over and whispered into Callie's ear.

"She's not going to castrate me is she? I know Addison called you. She told me she would." He asked, causing Callie to giggle.

"No she's not. I made her promise but you have a lot of sucking up to do. You might want to start soon too." She said, sitting down in a seat and winking at Cristina. Mark sighed and sat down next to her. This was going to be the longest 7 and half months of his life.
