Addison's View
In a matter of minutes it seemed, Callie's preeclampsia had developed into full blown eclampsia. She was still unconscious but we had her on a drip to stop the seizures and we were hopeful she would wake up soon and be able to carry the baby to at least 36 weeks if not full term. We were hopeful, but we weren't sure. I couldn't decide if I should call Mark. He deserved to know but Callie had made it clear she didn't want him in her life. It wasn't his baby either. So really he didn't have to know. My phone rang and I answered Bailey's call.
"Miranda?" I asked.
"Hey Addison, have you seen Callie? She won't answer her phone." Bailey told me.
"Oh yeah. She's in the room next to me actually." I told her nervously.
"Oh great! Put her on for me will you?" Bailey asked.
"I can't." I told her biting my bottom lip.
"Why not?" Bailey asked.
"She's kind of unconscious." I told her.
"What happened Addison?" Bailey asked.
"She has eclampsia." I told her.
"Is she going to wake up?" Bailey asked.
"I don't know, we're hopeful." I told her.
"That's it, I'm telling Mark if you won't. He deserves to know." Bailey told me.
"Why? She doesn't want him in her life and it's not even his kid." I asked. Bailey sighed heavily.
"He's still her best friend." Bailey pointed out.
"Isn't he busy with Lexie Grey?" I asked.
"It's not his, that's why I was trying to call Callie. Lexie confessed and told Mark that it was some paramedic's kid." Bailey told me. I sighed.
"Fine. I'll tell him." I told her.
"Good. Keep me updated okay? I want to know exactly when she wakes up. Every detail down to what her BP is." Bailey ordered. I nodded, then remembered she couldn't see me through the phone.
"Alright. Bye Miranda." I said.
"Goodbye Addie. You better keep Torres alive." She said and hung up. I groaned and dialed a number I hadn't dialed since leaving Seattle. Mark answered on the second ring.
"Addison? What do you want? I haven't heard from you since the day you and Callie disappeared." Mark said.
"Mark, it's Callie. She needs you." I told him.
"Well where are you guys?" Mark asked frantically.
"St. Ambrose hospital in Los Angeles." I told him.
"I'm coming. Don't let her die Addison." He said and hung up. I slowly brought the phone down from my ear. Callie would kill me for this when she woke up.
The next day
Callie's View
I slowly opened my eyes. The light was blinding and I blinked rapidly a few times in an attempt to bring everything into focus. Addison was asleep with her face on my arm. Her hand was holding tightly to mine. No one else was anywhere in sight though. I was hooked to several machines including a monitor strapped across the swell of my stomach. I recognized it immediately as a fetal monitor. The boy inside me kicked which calmed my nerves more than I thought it would. I shifted uncomfortably in bed and Addison woke up.
"Callie?" She asked, blinking several times.
"Hey Addie." I said smiling. Addison grinned.
"You're awake, that's great. How do you feel?" She asked.
"Uhm, crappy. What happened?" I asked.
"You had a seizure." She told me. I sighed and leaned back against my pillows.
"How is the baby?" I asked.
"He's doing good. Hanging in there." Addison told me.
"No complications?" I asked.
"None at all. Besides your complications of course." She said. Pete walked into my room with a bouquet of roses. He smiled when he saw me awake.
"Hey beautiful, I'm glad you're awake. When did you wake up?" He asked and sat the roses in a vase by my bed.
"Like three minutes ago." I told him. He kissed me lightly on the lips.
"Well good. I'm glad. How's the baby?" He asked kissing my bump.
"He looks fantastic." Addison told him. Pete smiled.
"Good." He said. Mark busted into the room panting.
"Mark? What the hell are you doing here?" I asked. Pete looked really confused.
"Addison called me and said you needed me." Mark said.
"Well I don't need you." I told him simply glaring at Addison. Addison looked away sheepishly.
"What the hell did I ever do to piss you off and cause you to leave without a word?" Mark asked.
"I needed to get away from Seattle and everything that came with it. Including you! You were smothering me Mark. This is not your kid it's George's. So quit acting like you have some sort of responsibility to it!" I said. I felt my heart beating too fast.
"Callie calm down." Addison warned.
"Cal, give me a chance." Mark pleaded.
"Get out Mark! Just get out!" I screamed.
"Dude, you need to leave." Pete told Mark. Mark glared and punched Pete hard in the mouth.
"Stop it! I said get out! Get out of my life Mark! I don't love you anymore okay?" I yelled. My heart monitor started to go off. My heart was beating way too fast and suddenly I began to seize.
Cliffhanger! What did everyone think? Was Callie too harsh? Should Pete have been more aggressive and punched Mark back? What about the baby will it make it? What should Callie name him? Let me know what your thoughts! Next chapter will be a lot longer! Review!
