Moments of Mallie

Coffee

Mark Sloan stepped out of the elevator rolling his stiff shoulders. The surgery had finally finished and had been successful albeit a few minor complications and Mark could still hear the gasps of relief from the patient's family when he'd told them that the young boy was fine. His jaw stretched as a yawn erupted on his face and he turned to enter the attending's room. The surgeon, however, abruptly stopped mid-step when he caught a glance of the sight before him and he couldn't stop the grin that grew on his lips. He let himself lean against the door frame as he took in the scene unfolding in the room.

His smirk only grew as he watched Callie, who was standing by the coffee machine send a glare that could probably make grown men cry towards Cristina who stood in front of her with a large plastic cup in her hand. Alex Karev stood beside her and it appeared that history had been made, that pigs could in fact fly or perhaps hell had frozen over because the two appeared to be agreeing on something. Derek and Owen both sat at the desk in the middle of the room and were both watching the unfolding scene with amusement. Mark watched as Alex spoke to Callie very slowly as if by some chance that was going to make her agree with him and his smile widened as he watched his wife simply grow angrier and angrier. Unfortunately for him, however, it was then that he was spotted by the young, budding cardiothoracic surgeon and was dragged into the action quicker than he had wanted to be.

"Sloan come here will you" Cristina called and Mark moved from the doorway towards the trio watching his wife who turned to look at him in outrage,

"Hey sweetheart what's the problem?" she glared at him this time not finding his joking even slightly humorous but it was Cristina who answered,

"Your hormone filled wife over here wants coffee but we all know that pregnant woman can't have coffee so if you'd like to give us a hand before she kills us with one of these plastic stirrer things that would be appreciated" Mark couldn't help but chuckle at Cristina's answer along with her and Alex's serious expressions while Callie was eyeing the coffee,

"Cal you know you can't have the coffee" he said gently and she turned to him,

"I just want one sip" she said and he could see the tiredness in her eyes along with the frustration,

"Yeah that's a big sip Cal" Alex interjected gesturing to the jumbo sized cup in Cristina's hand,

"Oh whatever you guys don't get to decide what I can and can't do" the others looked to Mark effectively telling him that he would be handling this one,

"No love we can't but you can and I know that you'll choose to do what's right by the baby" he said and watched Callie frown,

"Are you saying that I'm a bad mum?"

"No Cal I'm not saying you're a bad mum" he reassured her,

"Just one sip" she pleaded for the last time,

"Alright ONE sip" Mark relented and Callie gleefully looked towards Cristina who rolled her eyes dramatically,

"Savour it love because it's the last one for nine months" he said just as she reached for the cup but stopped mid motion before she turned towards him,

"Last one?" she asked frowning,

"Last one" he confirmed standing his ground and she sighed nodding before she took the cup and took a big sip of the caffeine goodness. Until at least Cristina began to pull it away. She followed it and Mark along with the others laughed before wrapping his arms around her pulling her away.

"no no no no no no no" Alex stepped in front of her chuckling and she sighed leaning back into her husband,

"Finnnee" she whined only to be met with more laughing,

And when Cristina went to raise the large coffee cup to her lips she stopped abruptly as she caught the pregnant orthopaedic surgeon's glare and then sighed before tipping it out and not drinking it in front of her friend, rolling her eyes.
