"Mark!" Callie yelled from the nursery. She was trying to calm down Maddie as she screamed. Callie had tried everything. She wasn't wet, she tried to feed her but she wasn't hungry. Nothing she could do would calm her down. She would have been ok, if it hadn't been for Annie who awoke to her sister's screaming. Callie filled with panic, not knowing what to do. Mark was about to jump into the shower for work when he heard Callie yell. He pulled his boxers back up and left to answer her cry of distress. He couldn't help but chuckle at the site. Callie heard him and turned. She glared at him.

"Don't stand there and laugh. Get your daughter!" she said. Mark threw his hands up and walked to the crib, picking Annie up.

"Hey there princess." He said, and placed her against his chest, holding one hand under her butt and patted her back. Annie stopped crying and snuggled against Mark's bare chest. Callie opened her mouth in shock.

"There's something wrong in the world when Mark Sloan can calm an infant and I can't. I don't know what's wrong with her! She's the calm one!" she said, and started bouncing a little. It still wasn't working. Maddie's cries seemed to intensify.

"One, shut up and two you're holding her wrong." He stated, smirking at her.

"How can I hold her wrong?"

"It's not that it's wrong, she just doesn't like to be held like that."

"Ok Mr. Mom, tell me what I'm doing wrong."

"Extend your arm and lay her across it on her stomach, her head laying in your hand. Then place your other hand on her back and rub in small circles." He explained. Callie did what he had instructed and Maddie stopped crying and settled down.

"How the hell did you know to do that?" she asked. Mark smiled and sat down in the rocker. Annie put her fist in her mouth and began to suck on it as Mark rocked.

"She's hungry and you learn a few things when on the graveyard ship. Like, Annie here likes to lie just like this until she falls asleep. She sucks on her fists when she's hungry and will only take the pacifier when she's sleeping. Otherwise she'll spit it out. Maddie whimpers when she's hungry and would spend all day with a pacifier stuck in her mouth 24/7 if you'd let her. Also both of them hate their sleepers. Have you ever wondered why every time you get up with them in the morning they are wearing just t-shirts and not the sleepers you put them in when you put them to bed? They take after the both of us in that area. Neither of us like to sleep with more than needed." He told her and smirked when she stuck her tongue out at him.

"That's not fair. I'm their mother, how the hell didn't I know this?" she asked as she placed a now calm Maddie on the changing table.

"You're a new mother and you're stressed, especially since your mother left. You had her here for a few weeks after they were born and you didn't have to take care of them by yourself. It's normal for you to freak out a little. I get alone time with them at night when you're sleeping." He explained, as he rocked Annie back to sleep. He smiled at her slow and relaxed breathing. Callie glanced over her shoulder just in time to see him press a kiss on the top of her head. She smiled at how tiny she looked curled against his sculpted chest. She had officially tamed the manwhore.

"Whatever, I just need to calm down a bit. Can you get their clothes for me please? I laid out their outfits last night. They are laying on top of the dresser." She explained and rid Maddie of her now soiled diaper. Mark looked behind him and grinned at the sleepers. They were identical, minus their sayings. One displayed 'Double the hugs' and the other 'Double the Kisses.' He carefully got up, not stirring little Annie from her slumber and grabbed the two sleepers.

"Ok, where did these come from?" he asked, as he handing the kisses one to her for Maddie. Callie laughed and took the sleep.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." She said as she started dressing the tiny girl. Once she was dressed she smoothed down the raven hair and placed a purple headband around her head. She picked her up and kissed her cheek. She turned around and switched babies.

"Careful, you're going to wake her up." He scolded, as he handed off Annie. Callie rolled her eyes.

"She has to wake up and eat Mark. Plus I want them both to be asleep later. They have a big day." She said, as Annie started to stir awake. She began to whimper but Callie stuck her knuckle in her mouth and Annie began to suck on it until she calmed. Callie then changed Annie and did the same to her hair.

"Big day? What's up?" he asked, walking back into his and Callie's room with Maddie in tow. Callie followed him in cradling Annie.

"They're going to the hospital today for their check up and I know for a fact they will be bombarded with visitors as soon as I walk into that hospital. Cristina said people have been asking tons of questions, mainly who they look like and if Mark Sloan is really a reformed manwhore." She explained with a small smirk.

"I saw that! And I can't help it I make gorgeous babies." He replied as she set Maddie in one of the bassinets in their room and Callie did the same with Annie.

"Excuse me I had a part in that. And oh if I recall they look like me."

"True, but they have my eyes, mommy. But they are perfect angels." He said, running a finger across Maddie's tiny foot. He leaned in and pressed a kiss onto each foot and then went change. His shower had officially been canceled. After changing and a kiss to his girls he headed away for a long day away from them. He was thankful that they were going to be at the hospital later. He hated being away from them.

At lunch, Mark, happily made his way to the cafeteria. The girls appointment was at 11 and Callie promised to stay until lunch so he could see them. Much to his pleasure there she was, with a large crowd surrounding her and the girls. He couldn't help but grin. His girls were the talk of the hospital. He walked over to the crowd and pushed his way through.

"Excuse me, daddy coming through. Out of the way." He scolded. He smiled widely at Callie he finally made it into the circle. Annie and Maddie were soundly sleeping in their carriers, unaware of the communication going on around them. He kissed Callie on the cheek. He glanced around the large circle and grinned at the people in attendance. Cristina was sitting next to Callie, daring any of her interns to come near the babies. Meredith stood behind her, her interns crowding around her, trying to get a good look at the sleeping angels, all of them except George. He stood further back, his arms folded across his chest. The expression on his face wasn't anything close to happiness. It was jealousy. Mark knew that expression well. He wore it many times during Callie's marriage to the little troll. He was happy that it had ended but he would have never openly told Callie that. But looking at George made Mark smile but he did feel a little sorry for the man. He had made a mistake, a large one but it cost him a life and family with the most wonderful woman in the world, and George was finally seeing the consequences of his actions. Callie was happier than she had been with George. George couldn't deny that she had a constant glow about her. From the day mark had returned and they became an official couple, Callie was never seen without a smile. He couldn't help feel the tinge of guilt as he watched her throughout her pregnancy and to be the one who answered Callie's page when she went into labor was like a knife to his heart. Mark looked back at Callie, but kept the man in his eye. He watched his eyes follow Callie's hands as they moved to one of the carriers. She reached into the carrier holding Annie and she fixed the pink blanket around her. His eyes widened as he saw the ring that adorned her finger. Mark saw his eye begin to fill with tears and watched him leave very quickly. Mark chuckled a bit just as Annie started to cry.

"Hey, look at what you idiots have done. You've awakened my goddaughter. Get away from here. 1,2,3,4, go do something productive, but do not make me look bad." Cristina snapped as she began to free Annie from her carrier. Everyone looked at Cristina like she had grown a second head.

"Ok, people I'll say this once. These are my godchildren and if you can't except the fact that I, Cristina Yang, has a soft spot for them, you just need to go away." She said, as she cradled the small girl.

"Soft spot is the understatement of the year." Callie scoffed.

"Shut it, Iphie."

"You're just jealous because I gave birth to them."

"Ha! Right. I'm so jealous because I don't have stretch marks and my hoo hoo isn't broken."

"Ok, that's enough talk for me. I think it's time we leave." Meredith stated and ushered her interns away. Cristina smirked at Callie as she played with Annie's tiny hands.

"You should really have one of those." Callie said, sarcastically.

"Ummm, I'll pass thanks. Give me her bottle, she's hungry." Cristina stated. Callie chuckled and handed Cristina a bottle.

"Whatever." She said, turning her away from Cristina. She looked at mark and smiled.

"Anything good today?" she asked, resting her chin on her fist. Mark smiled and shrugged.

"Let's see, a 16 year old whose parents got her implants for her birthday. A tummy tuck and a rhinoplasty. What about you? Are our girls growing at warp speed?"

"Right on schedule actually. Alex said they were perfectly healthy as can be for twins born a month early."

"See I told you, we make perfect children."

"You're so full of yourself. But I agree, we do make perfect children." She said, leaning over and pressing her lips to his.

"Ok, ew. No making out in front of the twins. That's just wrong." Cristina chimed in. Mark and Callie pulled away, causing Callie to laugh.

"Ok, Teenie, give her up. You need to get back to work and I need to take the girls to see Richard. He'll have my ass if I don't." she said, taking Annie from Cristina's arms.

"Ugh! Fine, I'll just go suck up to Hahn. I need a bloody surgery now that everyone has seen me at my worst. It's all your fault."

"Hey it is not my fault, that you went soft."

"I am not soft." She argued and pressed kisses onto both Annie and Maddie's cheeks.

"Right, keep telling yourself that Teenie." Callie said, burping Annie. Cristina got up and walked away only to turn around and flip Callie the bird. Callie shook her head and laughed.

"She's insane." Mark said, reaching over and plucking a French fry from Callie's try.

"Yeah, but I love her."

"I knew it! I knew you were a lesbian."

"Sorry mark, but no. So wipe the images of my best friend and I out of your head, now."

"Damn, ruin all my fun. But you promise that when the time presents itself, I can watch."

"You'll be the first to know."

"Thank you. You're the best fiancé a man could ask for."

"That would be better with the word wife instead."

"You set a date and I'm there." He said, but his pager interrupted his thoughts. Callie's smile faded.

"Damn it. I'll be home later ok?" he said, getting up. She nodded and he pressed a kiss on her lips and kissed both girls. Callie watched him walk away and she placed Annie back in her seat. Maddie had slept through the commotion with not so much as a whimper. Callie flung the diaper bag over her shoulder and then picked up each carrier, walking out of the cafeteria.

Callie walked through the halls of the third floor, leaving Richard's office. The diaper bag now heavier than before due to the stuffed bears and sleepers Richard had given to her. Callie had thanked him but told him he didn't have to. He had simply said she was like a daughter to him and that the girls were the best things to happen to Mark Sloan. Richard told her that all mark had done since he came back to work was gush about them, and show off their pictures. He had even posted their birth announcement in the intern, residents and attending locker rooms and the hospital bulletin board. Callie had laughed but she was glad that Annie had gone back to sleep and both were still sleeping as she was leaving. She rounded the corner and the site she saw angered her. There was Mark standing at the nurse's desk, flirting with a young nurse. Callie's eyes filled with anger and stung with tears. Maddie had chosen the right time to wake up and start to wail. Mark and the young girl turned their heads and mark's face fell but the little tramp wore a smirk across her face. Callie turned around and walked the other way. Mark ran after her.

"Callie, wait!" he yelled, but she kept moving. Mark had caught up with her and put his hand on her arm.

"Let go of me Mark!" she said, trying to pull her arm away.

"Callie stop!"

"Let go of me and the girls! I'm going home! Tell you little nurse to wipe that smirk away from her face before I knock it off for her!" she yelled. Mark let go of her and he watched her walk away.

"Shit, Now I've done it." He muttered to himself. The nurse walked up to him, still smiling.

"Aww, you don't need her McSteamy. Why don't you come with me and I'll show you what a real woman is like." She said, running her hands up his arms. Mark pulled away from her and pushed her hands away.

"Get off of me. She is a real woman, who happens to be the mother of my children and my fiancé." He yelled, and walked away, trying to figure out how to get himself out of this mess.
