Diclaimer: You know the drill and what I would do if I owned Grey's Anatomy.
Later the same night
Ding Dong
"Coming!" meredith called from the kitchen. She threw down her dish towel on the counter and ran to the door. She smiled as she opened the door. Callie and George stood on the porch, hand in hand and smiling from ear to ear. "Hey, guys' she said, motioning for them to come in. George let Callie enter first and follwed her, closing the door behind him. "Izzie's in the kitchen finishing up dinner." she said, as she led them to the kitchen. George took a deep breath and entered the kitchen. izzie looked up from the stove, then quickly looked back. Their friendship had taken a turn for the worse since callie had gotten pregnant. George had almost completely shut her out of his life, focusing on his marriage and baby. Izzie had thought his marriage was a joke and that Callie had gotten pregnant on purpose to trap him. George completely ignored her presence and it was killing her. 'Excuse me." she said, fleeing the kitchen. Callie paid no attention to her. She was not going to let Izzie ruin her happiness, not this time.
"Meredith, may I have some water? I'm dying over here." Callie laughed as she sat down at the table. "Oh, sure." Meredith replied. She walked over to the fridge and pulled a cold bottle of water out. She shut the door, and walked over to Callie, handing it to her. Callie opened it and practically downed it in one drink. Meredith chuckled. "How was the appointment?" she asked. She was very happy for them. George needed this and Callie seemed to need it as much as he did. "It went great." George, exclaimed. he was so excited about his daughter. 'Well, what is it?" she asked. "It's a girl." Callie said, smiling. She looked up at George, who was smiling so hard that he started turning red. "George breathe." Callie told him. George exhaled. "I can't help it. she's my little girl." he said, reaching down around Callie, to touch her stomach. Callie giggled and rolled her eyes. Meredith hugged them at once. "Congratulations, guys."
"Is there anything I can do?" Callie asked. "Yes, would you set the table?" Meredith asked, pulling the plates down from the cabinet. "Sure." callie responded, getting up from her seat. She walked over and took the plates from her. Meredith then grabbed the silverware and placed them on top of the plates. She walked out of the kitchen into the dining room. "George, are you coming?" she asked, looking over her shoulder. "Right behind you." he replied, following her. He took the plates from her and began to set the table. Callie stood there in shock and crossed her arms. "I'm pregnant George, not helpless." she protested. "I know." he said in defense. "I can set a table and not hurt myself." she explained. "Ok, Ok." he said, handing her the remaining plates and silverware. "Thank you." she said, finishing what he had started. George stood back fomr the table, arms crossed. He chuckled lightly as he remembered her first mood swing.
It had been only last month. It was their first official morning in their new house. As usual they showered together and George noticed her stomach had started to round slightly. He didn't say anything, just to be safe. he just truned off the water and stepped out after her. She walked out of the bathroom into their bed room. George was drying off when he heard Callie scream. "George!" Georgequickly wrapped his towel around him and ran out of the bathrrom. "Callie what's wrong?" he asked. "They don't fit!" she said, beginning to cry. He looked down to see Callie's favorite jeans undone and nowhere close to buttoning. "Oh, baby it's ok." he said, taking her in his arms. "No it's not. I'm fat.' she said, sobbing. George pulled her away from him and made her look him in the eye. "Callie O'Malley, you are not fat. You are pregnant. That is our baby." he said, gently rubbing her stomach. "Tell you what. After our shifts and you're up for it we will go get you new clothes. Deal?' he said, pulling her face up with his hand. She nodded. George wiped her tears away with his thumb. "Good now smile." he teased. She smiled for him. 'That's better. Put on a pair of your comfy pants and when we get to the hospital you can wear scrubs for the rest of the day."he told her, kissing her. She nodded and walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of lounging pants. She slipped them on with no problem. George smiled and finished getting dressed. That night Callie had completey restocked her wardrobe with enough clothes to see her through her pregnancy and a few things for the baby.
"Hello, earth to George." he heard Callie say. He shook his head and answered. "Oh, sorry Cal. I was thinking.' he asnwered. Callie chuckled. I' guees it's ok." Callie giggled and moved her hands to her stomach. "She's moving again." George smiled and knealt down in front of her and pressed his lips ont her stomach. "Shh, baby girl." he said and softly hummed into her stomach. "She stopped. You're a natural." Callie said smiling. "That's daddy's girl." he said, rising up to kiss Callie, but was interupted when Meredith entered the room. She laughed and sat the food she carried on the table. "George, would you mind gettnig a bottle of wine and whatever Callie wants." she asked. George nodded and look to his wife for an answer. "Water is fine." she responded. George kissed Callie and left. "He's very happy." Meredith said, sitting down. "He is, we both are." Callie said and seated herself. She smiled and rested a hand on her stomach. 'This little girl saved us."
'So have you thought of any names at all?" Meredith asked. Callie laughed. "Not a single one. She will probably remain baby O'Malley until she's born." she explained. She and George hadn't really thought of names at all. To tell the truth it had just recently hit her that she was having a baby.
George entered the kitchen and walked to the fridge, pulling out a water for Callie. he shut the door and nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw izzie stadning on the other side of the door. 'Izzie, you scared me." he said and began to walk away. She grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back to her. "Izzie, let me go." he said, pulling his arm back. "You cna't just stand there and ignore me George. I know you want me." she said. "i told you, leave me alone. Callie is carrying my baby, my little girl. They are what I want, not you. Just leave us alone.' he said, grabbing the wine off the counter and left the kitchen. Izzie stared in shock at the door as he left. She slid down the refrigirator door. She pulled her knees to her chest and cried. " George please,I love you." she whispered.
"There he is." Callie said, as George emerged from the kitchen. He handed the wine to Meredith then walked over and sat down beside his wife. Meredith uncorked the wine and began to pur it. George opened Callie's water and poured it into the glass in front of her, earning himself a kiss from her. "Well, this is a full house." Derek, said as he entered the room. He kissed Meredith and sat down next to her. "So, how are the parents to be?' he asked, taking his wine. "Great." George and Callie siad in unison. Meredith and Derek laughed at them. George reached across the table and began to fill Callie's plate. Calie just rolled her eyes and smiled. "He thinks I don't eat enough." she mouthed to Meredith. Meredith chuckled and sipped her wine.
The rest of the dinner ran without a sinlge problem. Alex had joined them half way through and finished what was left. Izzie just sat in her seat and said nothing. She just stred off in space and just moved the food around her plate. No one seem to notice. They were too busy takling about the baby and their new house. At the end of the night, George took an exhausted Callie home. Izzie watched from a corner as they left, she siltenyl vowed to make George hers.
