The test was positive.
"I'm pregnant…" Izzie said with trembling voice.
"You are so pregnant…" Mark repeated.
"If the test is wrong, you know sometimes those things can be wrong." She trailed off.
"We'll make blood test tomorrow to be sure." He said flatly, and then added, "However I think that this test isn't wrong."
"Why do you think so?" Izzie asked.
"I feel it." Mark replied.
"What do you feel?"
"I fell that we'll have a baby." He caressed her hair.
"God, it looks like we'll have a baby…"
"I'll make an appointment at the echo graph. I want to be sure that everything is all right."
Izzie nodded. "Do you realize that our live could be changed forever?"
"I do." He cohfirmed.
"And you are not scared?"
"I'm but not because my life would change. My life is already changed. Coming in Seattle I started new life. Getting in the elevator together with you that night, changed totally my life. Izzie, you are the most real thing in my life. Now happens something, which make me nervous, but excited nervous! "Mark emphasized.
"Mark, I don't want to pressure you…"
"Don't you want me to be involved?"
"Sure I want. But I don't want you to feel hard pressed by the fact that we will have a baby. I want you to be as involved as you want."
"I don't feel pressed. I want to be involved… I want to be very involved…!" He declared.
"Then you'll be very involved… Both will be involved." She assured, giving him a sultry kiss.
On the next morning
Izzie felt soft kisses on her back half awake.
"Mmm… mmm…" She uttered, smiling.
"Will you say only this… mmm mmm?" Mark said.
"What shall I say?" Izzie asked without opening her eyes.
"Good morning would be nice." He suggested.
"Good morning." She greeted, "and it seems will be really good after this waking."
Mark didn't stop kissing and caressing her back.
"How is my baby?" He asked.
"Your baby is ok." Izzie replied.
"That's good…And how the mother of my baby feels this morning?" Mark asked softly.
"She is ok too." Izzie assured him. She rolled on her back. Her eyes met those of Mark. She touched his beard. Mark kissed her and then removed the sheet, which was covering her body. Mark lifted her nightgown revealing her bare belly. He stared at it, for a couple of seconds, Izzie watched him expectantly. Mark bent his head kissing her stomach.
"Is it true that here is our baby?" He inquired.
"Well we'll be sure soon." She answered.
"I made an appointment at the Dr. Mason," Mark announced.
"When did you manage to do it?" Izzie asked with a surprise.
"Early this morning."
"You have woken up so early?! Why don't you sleep?" She concerned. "You have not surgeries this morning you could sleep."
"Anyway I couldn't sleep all the night. I want to be sure that everything is all right with the baby."
"Oh, Mark…" Izzie said softly, "You are so kind…" He bent to kiss her belly again while she was playing with his hair...
"I've prepared a breakfast for you, but this time no fried eggs or something like that. I made a healthful food. Fruits, yoghurt, freshly squeezed orange juice and toast." Mark told.
Izzie looked at him amazed.
"You have done it for me?"
"Yep, and I know that you can't without coffee in the morning so I went to the supermarket to buy decaffeinated coffee, which you could drink with a milk."
"Mark…." Izzie bit her lips pleased, "if someone from the hospital could see you… Who would have believed it?"
"Don't tell anyone what we are doing at home!" He advised her, "You would ruin my McSteamy's image. I am still McSteamy. I don't want so many women in the hospital to remain disappointed."
"I won't tell, but that does not mean to take liberties with the nurses." She shook her forefinger warningly.
"Nurses?" Mark frowned, "I'm not interested. Actually I'm only yours."
"When I become with a huge belly and you are not going to find me beautiful and sexy anymore, you would see all the nurses beautiful and sexy."
"You will always be sexy for me. I'll desire you always…"
"Don't talk to me in this way." Izzie pleaded.
"Why?"
"It has a bad effect on my hormones…." She admitted.
"You have a problem with your hormones?"
"A big problem." Izzie clarified.
"Can I do something to help you with it?" Mark smirked.
"Oh, you could definitely. I need badly your help, Dr. Sloan." She smiled seductively.
"What shall I do for my princess?"
"My breasts are sore…" She whispered.
"Lucky you. This part of woman's body is at my best."
"I need professional treatment…"
"You'll get it…" Mark grinned, lifting her gown revealing her breasts. Izzie watched him breathlessly. He tenderly touched them with the tip of his fingers. Izzie closed her eyes, moaning. Mark directed his lips towards her hardened peaks, taking them into his mouth.
"Oh…that feels so good…" She gasped. He could hear how her heart was beating wildly. Izzie had a feeling that Mark could make her crazy, he inflamed her and in the meantime, he satisfied her racing passions, it was indescribable. His lips making contact with her neck caused her to shiver slightly. Her hands quickly moved down reaching his boxers, which she put down skillfully.
"I see you don't lose your time." Mark joked.
"My hormones are on their limit." Izzie whispered, biting his earlobe. Her gentle lips began kissing his neck, the tip of her tongue slowly running along the base of his jaw like against his neck. Izzie's teeth gently sank into the Mark's neck. He groaned. Izzie kissed him and their tongues danced in wild rhythm. Her lips left his as she began kissing his collar again. Her tongue caressed his chest; slowly she kissed and began to suck gently on his nipples. Her hands continued working on his back. Her fingers made their way to his arousal giving him real pleasure. Mark ran his finger through her hair not wanting her to stop what she was doing. Mark let out a moan as he grabbed her head gently putting her on the pillow, giving her a hot kiss. Then he returned his attention on her firm breasts taking each nipple into his wet mouth with a gentle swoop of his tongue one after the other. Izzie's moans that slowly escaped from her lips made him to continue teasing them. Her pleasure was apparent. Softly sucking it and lightly biting he continued on his trail down her stomach and stopping on her belly. He positioned himself, but before penetrating her, he looked at her concerned.
"Izzie, are you sure the baby will be ok?"
"It will be, Mark!" She assured him with a smile. Izzie moaned as she felt his solid arousal enter wetness. Mark tried to be careful, but Izzie encouraged him. She slowly was wrapping around his waist and locking around behind his back. Her voice moaned out softly into his ear with every gentle thrust inside her. Mark smiled and kissed her lips down her neck and then his tongue back into her mouth again, as they lock into a passionate kissing embrace. Izzie's fingers digging on his back. His hand slid down gently squeezing and pinching one of her hardened nipples. His thrusting motions making her to breathe more and faster. Their bodies both shaking almost in unison when the orgasmic wave hit them. Izzie moaned and Mark held her tight as he was releasing his tension streaming inside of her. He could hardly catch his breath. Mark slowly set free of Izzie's body rolling on his back. Both tried to normalize their breathing.
"Are you ok?" He gasped.
"Fantastic…" She replied shortly.
"Are you sure everything is ok with the baby?" Mark demanded.
"Mark, everything is Ok. Don't worry." Izzie lifted her head, turning to him. She kissed his chest. Mark played with her curls.
"Breakfast?"
"Please." Izzie was just about to get out of the bed, when he stopped her.
"Stay here. I'll bring your breakfast here in the bed."
She rolled her eyes, biting her lips pleased.
"Would you do it?"
"This is at the very least what I could do for you."
"Actually it's not yet 9 o'clock and you have already made so many great things for me," Izzie smiled happily.
"I'm filled with virtues." Mark praised himself.
"It's good to know it, now I'm feeling calm about our baby's genes." She chuckled.
After they had a breakfast in the bed, Mark and Izzie took their morning shower together. Then they dressed up and went in to the hospital.
"In an hour you have an appointment at Dr. Mane." He informed her, pushing the button of the elevator.
"Ok. I'm going to change and we could meet there." She agreed.
'Fine. I'm going to change too. I don't have any surgeries this morning so we are going to do this together."
"Yes." Izzie smiled.
After 30 minutes, someone knocked on Mark's office. It was Izzie.
"Hey baby! What's up?" Mark lifted his eyes. He was seating at his desk, doing some paper work.
"I'm a little bit nervous. I wanted to see you before going to Dr. Mane." She admitted.
"Come here," he ordered. Izzie got close to Mark and took a seat in his lap. He removed some hair, kissing her neck, "I'm nervous too."
"We'll be introduced to our baby in a half an hour."
Mark slipped his hand on her belly.
"Yeah…I guess… that I've never felt this kind of excitement… my stomach is shrinking… and my pulse is racing…"
"When I was pregnant with Hanna I was terrified and scared. I couldn't feel this emotion that I feel now." Izzie confessed.
"You have been still a child." He differentiated.
"Yep, "she sighed, "but now I'm really excited."
"Are you happy?"
"Sure, I'm. I can realize everything in a different way."
"What about Hanna's father. Did he know that you were pregnant?" Mark inquired.
"He escaped when he knew about the baby."
"I see," he nodded, "Iz, I promise you to do everything for you and for the baby." He whispered.
"Mark, I have no doubts about it. I'm sure you'll make a good father." Izzie assured him.
"Do you really think so? I mean, you don't say it just like this."
"Why do you doubt about it?" She wondered.
"Addison aborted our baby in New York. She said that I won't ever make a good father."
"Mark, she did hardly abort your baby because of that reason. According to me, Addison hoped to give Derek back. Your baby would have confused it."
"But… she said that this is the reason, and I believed to her."
"Sometimes the women need find an excuse for their actions. Whatever was the reason she to adopt your baby, don't think that you won't make a good father. I'm happy that exactly you are the father of my baby… Actually… that's it, which makes me so happy… The fact that this is our baby!"
Izzie's words made his voice tremble.
"You don't have a clue what your words mean for me."
"These are not only words; I really think and feel it so." She turned to him, kissing his lips. He buried his fingers into her curls.
In that, moment Mark's pager went off.
"Shit! What's that?" He cursed. Izzie stood up for Mark to could take it from his waistband. He glanced at it. "Damned! It's from the chief. It's an urgent call from the OR."
"You have to go!" She said.
"No, I haven't. I'll go later." He protested.
"Mark, you are a surgeon. This is an urgent call you know what it means."
"But, this is the first examination of our baby. I want to be sure that everything with the baby is ok. I need to be there."
"I'll tell you everything later, I'm going to take the picture from the echo graph."
"But…" He retorted.
"Mark, please. They need you in the OR. I'm all right."
"I can't leave you…"
"Mark, you have to go!" Izzie caressed his cheek, "There is still time until the examination. Probably Dr. Mane could come late…" She tried to convince him.
"Damned!" He sighed, "Izzie, please send me a message. I'm taking my mobile."
"I promise, I'll write you all particulars." She assured him.
"If there is any problem, call me immediately!" He ordered.
"I'll do it." She promised.
"Izzie, I love you." Mark said his voice sounded desperately.
"I love you too."
"I'm really sorry…" He mumbled.
"Don't…" Izzie said softly.
OR
"Dr. Sloan, good that you came. We need your help." Dr. Webber said when Mark Sloan got in the OR.
"Here I am." He uttered.
Richard Webber, Erica Hanh, Callie Torres and Miranda Bailey were united around the patient.
"This is Carole Doyle; she had been poured over her body and face with an acid." Richard told, "The burnings are very heavy the lungs are affected."
"In what condition is she?" Mark asked.
"We stabilized her." Richard replied.
Mark took his place by the operation table. A nurse gave him his surgical instrument. Mark glanced at patient's vital indications and then he lifted his eyes to the clock on the wall. It was 11. 30. That was the time when Izzie should be in Dr. Mane's office. He hesitated; his hand was standing in the air. Everybody watched him in a state of expectation. Mark glanced at the clock again and then removed his eyes to the patient's vital indications. Suddenly he put the scalpel aside.
"I'm sorry, chief! I have to come out of here." Mark said.
"What?" Richard exclaimed. All turned their heads staring at Mark.
"I'll back in a very few minutes. It's just important… it's really important!"
"Dr. Sloan what does mean all that?" Richard demanded.
"Chief, I'll explain you later. It's urgent and very important for me. The patient is in stable condition."
"But we could not begin to operate without you." Richard notified.
"I know… I'll come back soon. I'm sorry I have to go!" Mark jumped out of the OR and rushed running through the corridor.
"What was that Richard?" Erica asked furiously.
"Did you hear? He said it was urgent and important!" Richard replied.
"Yeah it seemed pretty important!" Callie confirmed.
"I wonder what might be so important. We all know Sloan, important for him means to take his pants off in some on call room and to…." Erica couldn't continue because Richard interrupted her.
"Dr. Hanh I forbid you to talk in this way here!" He snapped her.
"Why? So he can follow his fancy and we all have to stay here waiting for the great Dr. Sloan." Erica snarled.
"The patient is stable" Richard notified.
"For the present!"
"Dr. Hanh, I need to remind you that I'm the Chief of the surgery. I'm the boss, and I'm saying that we are going to wait Dr. Sloan." Richard declared.
"What? It's a big scandal!" Erica exclaimed.
"Dr. Hanh, if you please save your comments!" Richard said firmly.
At Dr. Mane's office
"Well, Dr. Stevens. Please lie down here." Dr. Mane indicated to Izzie the coach.
"Thank you, Dr. Mane."
"Excuse me for the question, but is the baby wanted?" Dr. Mane asked.
Izzie nodded with a smile.
"Yes…"
"Fine. Now I'll ask you to reveal your belly." Dr. Mane ordered.
Izzie exposed her belly, picking up her top scrubs.
"Ok, let's see what we have here." Dr. Mane said.
At the moment, when Dr. Mane put the echo graph on Izzie's belly, the door of the office opened with a slam and Mark dashed into the room. Dr. Mane turned her head astonishingly sliding her eyes over his surgical cap and scrubs. On Izzie's face spread out a pleased smile.
"Am I late?" Mark got out of breath.
"Who are you?"
"I'm… I'm…I'm the father!" Mark announced.
"So you are on time. Please welcome." Dr. Mane invited him.
"Hey, don't you have to be in the OR now?" Izzie astonished.
"I'll explain you later!"
Izzie and Mark stared at the echo graph's screen expectantly. He held her hand. Dr. Mane carefully slid the echo graph on Izzie's belly without removing her eyes away of the screen.
"Well, yeah! Here it is! Do you see?" Dr. Mane indicated on the display, "You are pregnant, indeed, Dr. Stevens! Everything seems to be all right. The fetus is on his right place."
"So, she is absolutely… 100% pregnant?!" Mark asked excited.
"Yes, she is." Dr. Mane confirmed, "Do you see this little black spot here, this is your baby. And to all appearances we'll have a real natural SGH's baby after 9 months." Dr. Mane smiled.
"Everything is Ok with the baby, isn't it?" Mark demanded.
"Yes, for now everything is as how as it should be, but we'll make a blood test too."
"Does she have to take some vitamins?" Mark inquired.
"It's up to the blood analysis. I'll give you the picture from the echo graph." Dr. Mane gave tissues to Izzie, "You can wipe your belly now. And Congratulations! Dr. Stevens, I'll wait for you this afternoon to come with the blood analysis."
"Thank you. Dr. Mane." Mark and Izzie shook hands with her.
Dr. Mane smiled and remained Mark and Izzie at the office alone. Mark immediately kissed Izzie.
"Did you see our baby?" Izzie asked enthusiastically.
"Yeah, I had a feeling that my heart will jump out of my chest. Can I take the photograph?"
"Sure, but it still doesn't see very well…" She observed.
"I see it perfectly. This is my baby… our baby."
Izzie smiled to his excitement. Mark touched her hair.
"I have to go now. I chucked my job at the OR, and the chief is going to kill me." He admitted.
"You have chucked the surgery?"
"This is the most important moment in my life. I couldn't miss it out."
Izzie caressed her belly.
"Do you see my puppy, you have a great daddy!" She cooed.
That was the greatest sentence, which Mark has ever heard in his life.
In the OR
Mark got in the OR in the same way that he was coming out, but this time on his face was flashing a pleased, amazed and happy smile, which couldn't remain unnoticed.
"Oh, His Majesty vouchsafed us with the honor to appear." Erica commented sarcastically.
"Dr. Sloan, is everything all right?" Richard asked.
"Oh, yes… Positively!" Mark smiled.
Miranda gave him a surreptitious look. He looked at her too. Miranda nodded. She read in Mark's eyes exactly that she wanted to see.
"Can we start now?" Mark looked at everybody.
"Oh, really? Evidently the on call room's sex vitalizes Dr. Sloan to the best way." Erica notified.
"Right, Dr. Hanh. And I notice that it hasn't happened to you recently to vitalize yourself in this way, seeing your wry face." Mark grinned.
"Do you really believe that you are so great man? You have a very high opinion of you!" Erica hissed.
"Colleagues, please!" Richard yelled, then turned to Mark, "Dr. Sloan, I hope that you have a reasonable explanation of all that?"
Erica laughed nervously."Taking his pants off, this is his explanation!" She said.
Callie looked at her terrified. However, no one could damp Mark's spirits.
"Erica, by contrast with you when I take my pants off it brings good results." He smirked.
Erica gave him an angry eye, and Callie looked at Mark pleadingly.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Mark stood at the nurse's station watching something on his laptop. Derek seated on the chair next to him. On his, face spread out an impish smile.
"Is it true that what everybody is talking about?" He asked.
"What are they talking?" Mark deadpanned, without removing his eyes from the screen.
"You have chucked a surgery to have sex." Derek snickered.
"What?" Mark frowned.
"Is it true?" Derek demanded.
"Yes, I chucked the surgery, but not because of the reason to have sex."
"Then for what?"
"For something extremely amazing."
"More extremely amazing than sex?" Derek raised his eyebrows astonished, "Mark, such a thing doesn't exist for you."
"Already exists…"
"Uh?" Derek's jaw dropped, "What's that miracle?"
Mark took out something from his pocket and gave it to Derek.
"Photograph of fetus." Derek said indifferently.
"Don't call it fetus!" Mark snapped him.
"Excuse me?"
"This is a baby… yeah it's still fetus, but… This is my baby!" Mark emphasized.
"Your what?"
"Izzie is pregnant."
"Izzie is what?"
"Why do all the men make that stupid faces knowing that some woman is pregnant. Even this is not your girl!" Mark mentioned.
Derek looked at the photograph again.
"You and Izzie will have a baby?" Derek repeated.
"Yes." Mark confirmed.
"And you are calm?"
"Yep, I'm calm because I have Izzie. She makes me calm."
Derek watched Mark with an opened mouth.
"Yeah, you are definitely calm." Derek said again.
"Are you trying to make me getting in panic?"
"You are Mark Sloan; just mentioning of the word baby should get you in panic!"
"Before… Now I'm feeling excited… freaking excited. Isn't it great? Look at it?" Mark pointed out to Derek the photograph again.
"It's still a spot."
"Don't call my baby spot!" Mark angered.
"I'm sorry." Derek excused himself with a smile, "You look damned happy!"
"Oh, man I'm! Our baby is going to be gorgeous, I mean look at me!"
Derek sighed, "Thanks God! It's still you!"
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Miranda classified some charts of her patients, when she felt someone to stare at her.
"Dr. Bailey."
"Dr. Sloan?"
"How are you?" Mark asked kindly.
"Excuse me?"
"I'm asking how do you feel today." He repeated.
"Sloan, I don't have time for your stupid games. What have you done?"
"I've done nothing. Why do you think I've done anything?" Mark wondered.
"I know you, and this stupid countenance. I don't like that face, which reminds me," Miranda looked at him menacingly, "I hope you haven't done anything to Izzie."
"I haven't… Well… not only I've got pregnant her," Mark smirked, but Miranda's bad face made him to change his countenance, "However, I guess this is good… This is great." He added. Miranda continued staring at him frowned.
"I just wanted to thank you." Mark admitted.
"For what?"
"Well… for Izzie… For that, you are so concerned about her… I mean you are concerned about all of your interns and residents…" Mark confused, "You are like some Goody Bear, who cares about her little bears…" He stuttered.
"What?" Miranda exclaimed.
"I didn't want to say that you are like a bear…I…damned! Stop looking at me so. You confuse me, and I could tell anything…"
"Stop stammering and speak out!"
"You know Izzie. I want to make her happy and I know she likes such things as a moon, stars… flowers…you know. And this part is not just like me. I want to do something for her, which is just like her. I want her to remember this day…"
Miranda was listening to Mark carefully.
"You want to make her happy, don' you?"
"I do."
"Good." Miranda nodded.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
"Stevens!"
"Dr. Bailey?"
"This is for you." Miranda gave her a paper-bag.
"What's that?" Izzie asked curiously.
"It's from Dr. Sloan." Miranda answered.
Izzie took the paper-bag and opened it. There was a fresh squeezed juice inside, an apple, yoghurt, a salmon's sandwich and a note.
Don't forget that from today you'll eat healthy food. Moreover,… I guess that you don't dare to appear in the cafeteria…which reminds me, I think you owe a great apology to the lady there…
Izzie laughed at his message.
In the evening at the same time
"Hey, Callie!"
"Hi, Izzie!"
"Have you seen Mark?" Izzie asked.
"No for last I've seen him this morning in the OR. May be he has a surgery?" Callie suggested.
"He is not. I checked. I don't know where is he. Mark doesn't answer to his pager and his mobile is switched off."
"Probably he went home."
"He would have told me."
"I guess anything has happened suddenly."
"Yeah…"
"Do you want to drink something at Joe?" Callie offered.
"Thank you Callie, but I prefer to go home. I'm tired and I'm worried about Mark."
"If there is something you can call me."
"Ok, thanks."
After Izzie couldn't find Mark anywhere she went in the resident's locker room. Where Mark was? He even didn't call her to ask about the results of the blood test. She has called him thousand times to say to him that everything was all right, but he was vanished. All sorts of thoughts passed through her mind, but the truth was that she missed him… a lot. She hasn't seen him since the morning at Dr. Mane's office and she felt almost a physical pain, without his presence. Did she love him so much? She opened the door of her locker. There was a big bag inside. Izzie wondered. She saw it for the first time. Izzie took it out and opened it, peering inside. She gasped seeing an amazing dress. Izzie took it out of the bag looking at the dress. She kept her breath. It was a Louis Vuitton's beautiful, style and sexy. There was a box in the bag. Izzie opened it and saw high heels shoes, which looked like a jewel. There was a little note attached to the dress. Izzie took it and started reading. I'm sure you would look gorgeous with this dress. I'm waiting for you outside the hospital.
Izzie made up her face and put the dress on, and then she put on the shoes. Before coming out the locker room, Izzie examined herself critically. It wasn't bad. The dress fitted her very well. Izzie came out of the locker room. Michael Hudson, who was walking through the corridor,lifted his eyes and remained stricken, seeing Izzie. He was so impressed that he didn't see a column and his head ran into it.
"Oh! Shit!" He cursed, touching the hit place.
"Dr. Hudson, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm…" Michael uttered, and then looked her up and down, "You look… You look gorgeous… But don't tell Mark I've said that." He pleaded.
Izzie laughed, "Thank you… Do you really like me?"
"Oh yeah! You are beautiful and lovely. I would say even sexy, but Mark is my friend…" He giggled.
"Thanks, Dr. Hudson."
"Where are you going? Any good restaurant?"
"No clue."
"That sounds… interesting… Have a nice evening then." He snickered.
Izzie continued walking through the corridor where she met Dr. Webber, whose reaction was almost the same like that one of Dr. Hudson.
"Dr. Stevens, a very beautiful dress!" He observed.
"Thank you, Dr. Webber."
"I'm worried not to provoke some heart attack to someone here." Richard smiled.
"I'm coming out of the hospital now." Izzie calmed him.
"Dr. Stevens?" He called after her.
"Yes, Dr. Webber," She turned her head.
"Have a nice evening!"
"Thank you, Dr. Webber!"
Izzie got out of the stairs and passed by the lobby, when she heard whistling and hissing. She looked around seeing Alex and George. They were staring at her. The one looked at her with a leer, the other one with an admiration.
"Wow, baby! You are fucking sexy!"
"Alex!"
"Izzie, you are very beautiful." George observed.
She gave him a pleased smile.
"Dude, Sloan is the luckiest man on the earth." Alex said to Goerge.
"We could be too, but we are the stupidest men on the earth." George admitted.
"Yeah, I guess…"
"Bye, Guys!"
"Hey, Iz!" Alex called out after her, "Don't exhaust Sloan too much! I'll assist him to the greatest surgery of the year tomorrow!"
"Say it to my hormones!"
"What?"
"It's nothing, but just in case you make sure of your place in other surgery." Izzie giggled.
Izzie opened the main door of the hospital. She looked for Mark with eyes, but he wasn't anywhere. At that moment, some luxurious black and big limousine parked in front of the hospital.
"This is for us." Izzie startled, hearing Mark's husky voice behind her back. She turned to see him, wearing a dark suit.
"Mark…"
He slid his eyes all over her body, examining her from top to toe.
"For a pregnant woman you are damned hot!"
Izzie smiled, dropping her eyes down.
"C'mon, let's go." He ordered.
"Where?" She asked.
"In the sky." Mark replied. Taking her hand, he conducted her to the car.
"What?"
Izzie stood speechless while they were driving with the limousine.
"Any drink?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Please…" Her voice trembled. She definitely needed a drink. Izzie glanced furtively at Mark. He was handsome. She has never seen him in a formal wear.
"Did you like the dress?"
"It's lovely… Everything is great." Izzie didn't know what to say. The excitement dimmed her mind.
"You are gorgeous; whatever you wear it will fit you fantastic." Mark notified.
"You look great too." She said with a low voice.
"I had to do my best not to bring shame on you, because you are amazing."
Izzie glanced at him. Her heart was beating wildly, her hands were trembling and she felt roller coasters in the stomach. It was like a first date.
"Don't you ask about the blood test?" She asked suddenly.
"No."
"No?!" Izzie repeated, astonishingly.
"I know the results."
"How do you know?" She inquired.
"I checked."
"Is that so?"
"Yep, I hope you don't think that I would be so calm without knowing about the results." He smiled.
Izzie dropped her eyes down. Her heart would jump out of her chest. So many great emotions hit on her. The limousine stopped. Izzie didn't know where she was. The driver opened the door for Izzie to come out of the car.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"At the airport." Mark said shortly.
"Huh?!"
"Hurry up! The aircraft is waiting for us."
"What aircraft?" Izzie uttered.
Mark said nothing. He grabbed her hand, conducting Izzie to the airport. They got in a VIP lounge, where an attendant met them. They were following him. Soon Mark and Izzie landed up in the runway.
"Mark, what about the passport control?" She questioned.
"We don't need it." He answered.
"Don't we?"
"No."
"Mark, I'm at work tomorrow and you have that important surgery. If you don't appear tomorrow Alex would never forgive me." Izzie concerned.
"Don't worry. We are going to be at the hospital tomorrow."
"Mark, What?!" She perplexed.
"This is our airplane!"
Gulfstream 250 was parked on stand. Izzie opened her eyes widely.
"Mark, where are we going?"
"I've told you. In the sky." He kissed her nose.
The captain welcomed them cordially. Mark and Izzie got on the stair, coming inside. The aircraft was very luxury; there were too huge comfortable lounges with a table in the centre. There was DVD attached to the wall. Mark accommodated her in one of the lounges.
"Fasten the seatbelt." He ordered.
"Yes, sir!" She fastened the safety belt still without understanding what would happen next. It was like a dream.
"Take off in a few minutes." The captain announced through the speaker. Izzie looked around confused. The aircraft was taxing, they heard captain's voice, "Please, make sure that your seat belts are securely fastened. Take off in a minute!" The airplane accelerated and rose in the sky. When they increased the high, they heard the captain's voice again, "The captain is speaking. We have just took off, our tour around Seattle started up…."
Izzie took a glance at Mark expectantly. He unfastened his seat belt and took her hand.
"1. 30 minutes we are going to fly around Seattle. This is the city that I hated and I didn't like at all. But this is the city in which I met my girl. I can't believe I'm saying it, but I love Seattle and I want remain here with you… and our baby…"
Izzie's eyes grew dim with tears.
"I would like you to remember this day and this evening like our special day and this evening to be our special night. Today you gave me the best present in my life, and I wanted to give you something special that you would never forget…"
"Mark, I don't know what to say… This is the greatest night in my life, I can't believe you are doing all these for me..."
"Izzie, I wish I could promise you that every night with me would be the same, but I can't. I can only tell you, that I'll try to do my best just to see you smiling…"
"Mark… I…I can't believe you are saying all this…"
"Me too, and I guess it's better stop talking. It's time for champagne!"
"Am I allowed to drink champagne?"
"I checked you can drink champagne, beer or wine." He informed her. Mark pushed the call button above his head. The flight attendant came immediately. "You can serve the dinner, please." Mark ordered.
"Are we going to have a dinner here?"
"I guess the baby is already starving." Mark suggested.
"Right at the beginning, I was put aside." Izzie sighed.
"Right now, I can show you, it's not true!" He smirked.
Izzie laughed, "Keep your forces for tonight," she advised him.
"I don't need any special forces I'm easily inflammable." Mark said with an impish smile.
"Mark, are we going to fly over Seattle all the time?" She asked.
"Yes look through the window."
It was clear sky and the lights of the city could be seen well. It was amazing view. Izzie looked enchanted.
"You were right saying that we are going in the sky."
"Actually, I'm there in the heaven for quite awhile." Mark confessed.
"How did you manage to organize all that?" She wondered.
"It was easy for me, but the difficult part was to talk with Dr, Bailey. I called her a bear." He admitted.
"Seriously?"
"I was confused, this woman embarrassed me." Mark defended himself.
Izzie smiled and stood up. She got close to him, seating on his lap. He embraced her waist, sliding his hand over her belly.
"Did I mention how beautiful you are?"
"You did. However I love hearing it."
"Iz…" Mark slipped his tongue behind her ear, biting her earlobe softly, "You are gorgeous and I'm so in love with you..."
"That is all right with me." She chuckled, "Mark, thank you for this amazing evening. I'll never forget it."
"Me too," He caressed her belly, "Surely the little Izzie is hungry."
"Little Izzie, huh? Could be little Mark…"
"I think it's a girl… I have a feeling."
"Usually the women have this feeling, but we'll see….."
9 months later
Mark Sloan filled in a chart of a patient at the nurse's station.
"Are you still here?" His best friend asked.
"You are still here too." Mark observed.
"I'm dressed by contrast with you." Derek snapped him.
"I had a lot of paper work." Mark replied.
"You are doing paper work?! Don't you have interns or residents?"
"I don't use them for that, "Mark sighed, and then added, "Anymore."
Derek nodded with a smirk.
"I haven't seen you dressing in tuxedo since the last wedding we have been together. Actually it was your wedding with Addison." Mark giggled.
"Precious memories hit on me." Derek said sarcastically, "Where is your tuxedo? We're going to be late."
"Izzie will bring it."
"How is she?" Derek inquired.
Mark looked at him, sighing.
"She says that can't stand anymore. She is impatient the baby to bring into the world." Mark answered.
"Well, I guess it's not easy. What about you? You look calm?"
"I just want to see my little girl."
"Oh you finally have known what the baby is?" Derek exclaimed cheerfully.
"We haven't. However I'm sure it's a girl."
"How is that you know?"
"I have a feeling. You know a sixth sense."
"As far as I know this is a woman's feeling." Derek grinned.
"I'm not a woman." Mark protested.
"I know it, I'm just mentioning."
"Anyway I know it would be a girl. Beautiful and cute as Izzie." Mark smiled.
"Watch out not to be surprised at the end." Derek chuckled.
"I believe in my instincts!" Mark said firmly.
"Hi, guys!" Izzie greeted them.
"Hey," Mark kissed her, "You look great, baby!" Izzie was wearing a silk green dress with a high waist. She looked at him frowning.
"I look awful, as a seal in dress." She whimpered.
"Iz, it's not true. This dress fits you great." Mark assured her.
"Mark is right, "Derek confirmed, "Izzie, you look great. The pregnancy has a good effect on you. I would say that you are born to bear babies. You are a very beautiful and lovely pregnant woman."
"Derek, thank you, but you are just kind. And you are the biggest liar after Mark." She noticed.
"I'm just saying what I see. Look at yourself you have only a tummy."
"You are calling my huge belly a tummy. Derek, this is a whole big paunch!"
Derek laughed, "It remains not long time and you'll release from this paunch." He calmed her.
"Hey, you are talking about my little girl!" Mark angered.
"Mark, we don't know if it's a girl!" Izzie reminded to him.
"I know."
"Didn't you manage to see its sex again on the echo graph?"
"No, every time when we wanted to see it, it turned to the opposite side." Izzie explained.
"Oh, the baby is shy?!" Derek giggled, "Thanks God, nothing in common with his father."
"Yes, it would be just like me!" Izzie said cheerfully.
"You are none too shy." Mark told her.
"I was until you didn't debauch me." She clarified.
"Fine, I see you have already united against me." Mark sighed.
"Where is Meredith?" Izzie asked.
"I'm going to get her. Mark, we'll see at the church, right?" Derek asked.
"Yes, I'll change here and we'll meet there. Did you see the chief?"
"Yes this morning. He has come here and he was looking very nervous. It's just as if he will get marry for the first time." Derek said.
"Moreover he is going to get married to his wife!" Mark giggled, "I mean he knows what could expect." He added.
"You two it's better stop talking. We don't have a time." Izzie involved, "Go to dress you!" Izzie ordered to Mark giving him the tuxedo.
"Do you see? The chief is lucky..." Mark whispered to his best friend.
"Have you any complaints?" Izzie inquired.
"Of course not. You know how much I love you and how happy I'm with you." Mark declared, kissing her.
"Izzie, I'm glad to see you. You look great!" Callie joined them.
"I'm a mountain of a woman, who could hardly move." Izzie presented herself.
"Don't pay attention to her; five minutes ago she was a seal." Mark winked and headed to change in his office. Derek went to get Meredith from home.
"Well, when is going to happen the great event?" Callie asked.
"In a week, but I can't bear any longer." Izzie admitted.
"I heard that Mark has called Addison for the birth of your baby."
"Yes, she is coming for the wedding of Dr. Webber and Adele. She will remain until my term."
"Mark is in the seventh heaven." Callie mentioned, smiling.
"Yeah, actually he is incredible. I have never imagined that some man could be so devoted and tender." Izzie said softly.
"Izzie, he loves you, and there is nothing much more thrilling for a man the woman he adores to give a birth of his baby. I heard it's a girl."
"Mark thinks it's a girl, but we don't know for certain." Izzie clarified.
"What about you? What'd you prefer?"
"It's all one to me, I wish just to be safe and sound, and to come out of me as soon as possible!"
"I must admit that you don't look like a 9months pregnant woman."
"Callie, I look like a swollen balloon!"
"You don't. Every woman could only dream to have your looking when gets pregnant."
'Thank you, Callie." Izzie smiled, "I see you are already dressed. Are you going straight to the church?"
"Yes, but Erica disappeared again."
"Come with us."
"I don't want to disturb you!"
"You won't. We'll be glad. I just hope Mark to come soon."
Ten minutes later Mark appeared, dressed in tuxedo.
"Mmm you look great, and I'm an elephant." Izzie sniveled.
Mark laughed.
"Tell her that she doesn't look like an elephant." Callie told him.
"There is no sense. The next will be that she looks like hippopotamus." Mark exclaimed.
"You see! Even Mark thinks that I look like hippopotamus."
Mark sighed helpless.
"Izzie, you are the most beautiful pregnant woman that I've ever seen." Callie assured her.
"Trust to Callie, Iz! She has a good taste for women." Mark smirked.
Callie and Izzie gave him a dirty look.
"What? That was a compliment," he grinned, "for both." Mark emphasized.
In the church
Richard stood at the altar together with Mark and Derek, waiting for the bride.
"I'm nervous."
"C'mon, Chief! For what reason?" Derek wondered.
"Yes, you have already done it once, and even with the same woman. You can't anticipate unpleasant and unexpected surprises." Mark smirked.
"You don't help me!" Richard snarled.
"Yes, Mark shut up!" Derek hissed.
"I'm just trying to stroke you down. Look at us."
"What shall I look?"
"I'll have a baby, and look how calm I'm. Derek is almost married, look how calm he is." Mark said.
"But no one of you is going to marry."
"You have to show the way to us." Mark noticed.
"God!" Richard exclaimed, rolling his eyes.
"Go ahead, cowboy! You can do it!" Derek encouraged him.
"You are the boss; you have to make us to follow you." Mark added.
"You are two intriguers!" Richard snapped them.
The door opened and Adele stepped inside. She was dressed in style cream-colored bride dress.
"Smile, Richard! Don't forget this is the happiest day in your life." Derek reminded to him.
"And this is the woman of your life! Look at her, how she is walking in the aisle…" Mark whispered into his ear.
"Just shut up, if you want me to do it!"
While the priest was talking, Mark turned a head toward Izzie, who looked at him too. He smiled, she replied to his smile too. Callie who was sitting next to Izzie caught their glances. She smirked.
In the restaurant, 1hour later
"Ladies and Gentleman, let's applaud the first dance of Richard and Adele."
The groom and the bride were dancing in the middle of the dancing hall.
"God girls, I feel like a dinosaur who gulped down a big ball." Izzie sighed, taking a seat on the table where were seating Cristina, Meredith, Callie, Derek, Mark, Miranda, Alex and George.
"Where have you been?" Mark asked her.
"I made pee. I'm doing this every 15 minutes." Izzie emphasized.
"All pregnant women do it." Cristina noticed.
Addison joined the company.
"Hi, everyone!"
"Hi, Addie!"
"Izzie, how are you?"
"Oh, Addison please tell me that this baby will come out of me soon!"
"There wasn't such indication during the last check up. However you still have a week until your term."
"Great, I'm going to live one more week as a rhino!"
"When you are talking in this way, I'm feeling worried. As you hardly stand these last days of your pregnancy, what shall I do, if I get pregnant?" Meredith concerned.
"The right question is, what Derek would do?" Cristina giggled.
"Anyway I know the last two weeks are the heaviest, but the truth is that you are very cute!" Addison smiled.
"Thank you Addie, I know I'm annoying, but I really feel like…" Izzie couldn't continue because Mark interrupted her.
"Like a big whale!" Mark added.
All stared at him.
"What? I know all her repertoire. I listen to it every day over the last week." He justified himself.
"This is what means to have sex with Sloan. It's a bad job!" Cristina concluded, "You must hate him, "she told Izzie, "and you must remember it!" Cristina said to Addison.
The wedding was lovely. The dancing floor was full with dancers.
"Where is Izzie?" Addison asked Mark, who was sitting alone at the table.
"In the bathroom" He replied.
Addison smiled, "Can I seat here? So, you are going to be daddy soon."
"To your great surprise." Mark said.
"I must admit that I was surprised, but not because you'll have a baby, and to the way how you get it. I have never seen you like that."
"There is no way; you didn't give me the chance." Mark reminded.
"Right, I made a mistake. The biggest mistake in my life and for that I'll regret for the rest of my life." Her voice trembled.
Mark looked at her.
"Whatever, I want just you to know that I'm glad for you. Izzie is a great girl, I've always liked her. She was my favorite intern."
"After Karev." Mark observed.
"Karev? Yeah, one more mistake…" Addie said sadly, sipping from her champagne, "However I'm happy to be in Seattle again, thank you for calling me about the baby."
"You are the best, and I and Izzie wanted you to do it."
"I'm sure you two would be great parents, and I'm happy to help you your baby to come in the world. I'll be glad."
"I see some people are really excited to see you again." Mark smirked.
"What do you mean?" Addison wondered.
Mark nodded with a head toward Alex, who didn't remove his eyes from Addison for an hour.
"I don't think so…" She shook a head.
"You must stop have doubts of the people, Addie." Mark said.
"Do you think so?"
"Absolutely!" He confirmed.
Addison thought on his words. She glanced at Alex who saw that she was glancing at him, and immediately approached her.
"Can I dance with you?"
"With pleasure." She smiled to him.
Addison and Alex headed to the dancing floor.
"God, surely I'm the most annoying and whimpering human being on the earth." Izzie sighed, taking a seat next to Mark.
"You are the loveliest human being on that earth." He caressed her hair, "Are you tired? Do you want to go home?" Mark concerned.
"No."
"Let's go dance then." He offered.
"Don't you feel ashamed dancing with a seal?" Izzie spoiled.
"You don't have a clue how sexy you are." Mark kissed her.
"Liar!" She laughed.
He took her hand. They headed to the dancing hall.
"Izzie do you want marry me?" Mark asked suddenly.
"What?"
"Well, this is not a proposal. I'm just asking like a research. We've never talked about it. I haven't made a proposal to you, because I didn't want you to think, that I'm doing it because of the baby. However I'm aware of the dream of every girl to see her dressed in a bride dress and to experience that special day…" He told.
"Mark, I feel happy even without this special day, because every day is special with you…" Izzie said softly.
"But will you feel more happy if you have this day?" Mark demanded.
"I guess…"
"Good." Mark smirked.
They were dancing happily embraced. He touched her neck with his lips, when Izzie shouted.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" She stepped aside. Everybody stopped dancing, fixing their eyes on them.
"Izzie, are you ok?" Mark startled.
"What's going on?" Derek asked. He and Meredith were close to them.
"My water broke…O God, no! My water broke. I'm near my time." Izzie announced.
"What?" He was in panic.
Addison got Izzie's hand.
"Ok, take it easy! Your water really broke ." Addison said, seeing the puddle in Izzie's legs. The music has stopped. Mark stood stunned staring at Izzie.
"Mark… Mark…" Addison's voice returned him in the reality, "Get Izzie in the car and drive directly to the hospital." She ordered.
"We'll go with them." Meredith said.
"Addison, you can come with my car. We'll drive after them." Alex offered.
"Fine." Addison agreed.
All headed to the exit.
"Sloan you ruined my wedding." Richard said.
"Be happy that he hasn't still ruined your marriage." Derek calmed him.
"I'm sorry, chief!"
Mark, Izzie, Derek, Meredith, Alex, Addison, Miranda, Richard, Adele, Cristina, George and Callie set off to the Seattle Grace Hospital.
