AAAAAAHHHH! I start high school in two days. Kinda scared of being a freshmen, but I'm pretty physched still! This is a little bonus chapter added on to the end of the story. Sorry I haven't written a sequel yet, but I'm waiting for inspiration to strike.

Hopefully the sequel will come to me soon.

Please leave me a review, or a PM, or check out my other stories. I love feedback!

This is a lead in to my sequel. Stay tuned...

She stared directly at Callie, her eyes wide with alarm. Her hands fiddled restlessly in her lap as the awkward silence filled the room, casting an awkward air around the two.

"You're pregnant?" Natalie said slowly.

"Yes." Callie nodded shortly, avoiding eye contact.

"With Mark's baby?"

"Yes."

"Does Arizona know?"

Callie almost snorted. "Oh hell no."

Nat raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"

"Natalie, nobody but me and you know." Callie explained. "And the only reason you know was because you saw me in the bathroom with a positive pregnancy test. Not exactly like I could deny it then."

Natalie shook her head, and leaned back. The two of them were on the couch in the doctor's lounge. It was almost 2 in the morning. Natalie was staying late because both Meredith and Derek had been called in to emergency surgery, and Callie was here because she really, really didn't want to go home.

This morning, Natalie had walked into the bathroom and found Callie sobbing against a wall, a positive pregnancy test in her hands. As Callie and Arizona couldn't exactly make a baby, she knew that something was up.

And Callie knew she couldn't lie about it, not to this girl.

"Well then." Natalie huffed, crossing her arms. "What are you gonna do about it?"

"Well, I'm not getting an abortion if that's what you're thinking!" Callie leaned back, horrified. Natalie immediately shook her head.

"No, no, no." She stuttered. "No. That's not what I meant. What I meant was, are you going to tell him? Do you want to keep it?"

Natalie really did like Mark, but she had no idea how he would be as a father. Mark was a nice guy, but he used to be an asshole, a playboy, and kind of a dick. And, he didn't exactly have a good father figure in his life. His father was a deadbeat that never got off the couch, and his mother was dead. He wasn't exactly the perfect man for the job.

And yet, there was something about Mark that screamed 'dad'. Of course, there was Sloan. I had never met her, but I had heard all about the infamous Sloan, about how Mark had grown attached to her, and had almost adopted her son, his grandson. He was kind and loyal. He always did whatever it took to help the ones he loved. He only wanted the best for his friends and his family.

But then... then there was Lexi.

She had already left Mark once for forcing a family on her before she was ready. How the hell would she react to being forced into that position again? One could only imagine.

"Nat? Nat?" Callie's voice called her out of her thoughts and back into reality.

"Huh?" She grunted, shaking her head to bring the world back into focus.

"You kind of zoned out there for a moment." Callie chuckled, her hand absentmindedly going to her stomach. "I'm keeping the baby. That's already decided. I just... I don't know how Arizona will react to this, but it most definitely won't be good. That much I can already tell you."

Natalie giggled. "Definitely. But hey. Callie?"

"Yeah?"

"Speaking as someone who had no parents, tell Mark about the baby. He deserves to know, and more than that, the baby deserves to have as many parents in her corner as possible. Trust me. You need as many as you can get in this messed up world."

Callie looked carefully at the young girl, her expression thoughtful. "You truly are something special, you know that? I mean, what kind of kid is able to have this mature of a conversation about something this serious? Trust me Nat. If my kid ends up half as amazing as you," She grabbed the girl's hand. "Then they'll be truly amazing."

"Thanks Cal." She smiled, with a hint of a glistening tear in her eye.

Just then, Meredith and Derek walked, both of them in their street clothes. "Hey Callie." Derek smiled. "What are you two talking about?" He raised an eyebrow, waggling it at the two. Nat groaned while Callie gave a small chuckle.

"Nothin. Just girl talk." Nat smiled, rolling her eyes at her adoptive father's antics.

"Anyway, you two," Meredith interjected, grabbing Derek's hand. "You ready to go home?"

"Yes ma'am." Natalie smiled, standing up slowly off the couch. 'Let's get going."

"Night Callie." Derek smiled, giving a small wave.

"See you in surgery tomorrow Cal." Meredith added. Callie nodded back, acknowledging her.

"See you then guys." She smiled. "Oh, and Nat..."

"Uh huh?"

"Can we keep this..." She trailed off, not wanting to announce things in front of Meredith and Derek.

"Keep what?" She smiled, adding a little wink at the end before turning and walking out of the room, following her parent's lead.

"Keep being you Nat." Callie chuckled, placing her hands on her abdomen, smiling about the baby that was growing inside her. "We'll be okay." She whispered.

Although, she didn't know if she entirely believed it herself.

Please leave me a review and wish me luck in my first year of high school!
