By now, it was well after 10pm on their first night in Seattle and Mark was having a hard time with Ella. He had always been the 'fun' parent when she came to visit and was rather lenient with her bedtime. Now that she was going to be in Seattle full-time with Mark and Addison being more equal in their parenting roles than in the past, he was trying to be more serious without much luck.

"Ella Elizabeth Montgomery-Sloan. It is time for bed. I know I've never forced you to go to bed early before, but it's way past your bedtime and your mom won't be happy if I have to call her up here. You have two minutes to get your pajamas on and to get into bed," Mark said sternly as he closed Ella's bedroom door, only to find Lexie standing in the hallway.

"You just have to ignore her when she's refusing to go to bed. Eventually she'll wear herself out and crash. My parents used to do it to me all the time when I was her age. You know you're a great dad and she's just testing her limits. She'll settle down eventually. I'll put her to bed. You go wait for me in our room," Lexie said as she placed a small kiss on Mark's cheek.

Lexie opened the bedroom door to find Ella lying on her bed, clutching a stuffed animal. As Lexie made her was across the room, she could tell by Ella's breathing that she was almost asleep. Carefully, Lexie pulled the blankets from under her and tucked her in. "Night, mommy Lexie," whispered Ella as she snuggled into the bed.

Lexie had to admit, even though it freaked her out, she liked that Ella had just called her 'mommy.' She had watched the girl grow up since she was a few months old and always had more of a friendship than a parent-child relationship with her.

By the time Addison returned to the apartment that night, Amelia was asleep on the couch with the television on. Addison turned off the television and made her way to the master bedroom at the end of the hallway. Collapsing onto her bed, she started talking to herself, something she hadn't done in years. The last time she talked to herself regularly was when she was pregnant with Ella; she usually claimed she was talking to the baby, but it was really her thinking out loud.

"We're gonna be okay. I'm not in the middle of a divorce this time. Your father isn't my ex-husband's best friend. Ella is going to be so excited to have another little brother or sister. You'll be her third one. I've seen her with Sofia and she is going to love you so much. I can't believe I'm pregnant again. When I was in med school and doing my residency, I thought I'd have kids with Derek, but that never happened. Maybe our marriage falling apart was the best thing that ever happened."

"She called me Mommy, Mark. Ella called me Mommy," stated Lexie as she crawled into bed and rested her head on Mark's chest.

Slowly, he ran his fingers through her hair. "I doubt Addison will mind. You know Sofia calls you mommy and Callie and Arizona have gotten used to it."

"I've always just been 'Lexie' to Ella. When I was tucking her in, she called me mommy Lexie. Sofia calls me mommy because she's little and doesn't realize how many moms she has. It still freaks me out, but I'm not going to correct a one-year-old."

"You aren't going to freak when our baby calls you mommy, are you? I was thinking about what you said about needing a bigger place. I'm going to talk to the landlord about getting a three-bedroom when one's available. I doubt Addison would have picked this building if we didn't live in it. She picked it for the convenience of Ella being close to me. With a three-bedroom, our baby can have their own room while Ella and Sofia can still share one since they'll rarely be here at the same time," Mark explained.

"I don't want to think about that. We've still got plenty of time before our baby is born. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I know she's not working yet, but do you think Addison will be my doctor, or would that be too weird?"

"Let me know what time the appointment is and I'll be there. I think Addison would be happy to be your doctor. She dropped everything and flew up here for Sofia and I'm sure she would have even if they hadn't had the accident."

Addison was awoken the next morning to the sounds of Ella and Amelia outside her door. Groaning, she patted down the bed, looking for her cell phone to see what time it was. She was somewhat surprised to see that it was after nine; Addison couldn't remember when the last time was she had slept that late. She also saw that she had two missed calls, a voicemail, and several texts, all from the same person: Alex Karev.

Hitting the one on her phone, she put the phone to her ear to listen to the voicemail. "Hey, Addison, it's me. You said to call you when I got off work so we could talk more. I'm guessing you're still sleeping, so I'll call you later. I'm off all day today, maybe we can meet for coffee or I can bring lunch over for you and Ella, maybe take her to the park or something."

The texts all said the same thing, that he was heading home and to let him know when she wanted to talk. After deleting both the voicemail and the texts, she pulled herself out of bed to see what Ella was up to.
