SURGEONS PARADISE ➼ Mark Sloan

𝟲. 𝗠𝗰𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆'𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 (𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗔𝗺)

Mia sat on her bed looking at the pregnancy test. She didn't know what to do. She didn't even know what to think. But she knew she needed to make a choice. To keep the baby. Or not.

She knew it had been a couple of weeks since she had found out she was pregnant. And since then her head hadn't been in the game.

There was a knock at the door. She quickly threw the test in the bedside table. Esmè walked in. "What's going on?" She asked. She sighed. "Me and Mer. We've both noticed you've changed."

"I'm fine. Don't worry."

Esmè rolled her eyes. "You can keep saying it until you're blue in the face. I know you. I know you're keeping something. Is it Mark? Have you heard from him?" She asked.

"No."

Esmè wasn't convinced. She knew that her sister was keeping something from her. And she was going to find out.

She knew Mia. And she knew when she was hurting. Or upset, she shut herself off. And that's what she was doing at that moment. Shutting herself off.

Esmè walked into the locker room. She frowned as she saw Mia sitting there. She was looking unwell and she was worried. She frowned as she touched her forehead. "What the hell? Are you okay? You're burning up," She said as she looked to her.

"No. I'm dying. I think," Mia mumbled.

Esmè knew there was definitely something up with her sister. "You and me... we're going to talk tonight. I don't care what you say."

George walked in and smiled. "So Izzie left the house this morning. That's a good sign," he told his friends as he sat down.

"Good for her. Bad for me. I have to see her," Mia mumbled as she took a sip of her water. She was feeling a lot more sick.

"You need to see someone. You look like you're about to croak it," Esmè said.

You're so kind."

"I know."

George looked to Mia. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm just not feeling myself," Mia said as she stood up.

"O'Malley has that effect on women. Ask Dr Torres," Alex said as he walked in. He smiled at Riley. The two of them had become close since they hooked up as the prom.

George scoffed and shook his head. "What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

Mia rolled her eyes. "It means you threw Callie on her ass. She was into you."

"I did not. Who told you that?"

"Who else? Callie herself."

Alex smirked. He looked to her. "Don't worry. I get it. She's hot. But she's not for you."

"And why is that?"

"She's hot."

Mia rolled her eyes. She quickly checked her phone to see a text from Mark. Instead of reading it, she deleted it. She turned to look at Alex. "You're lurking behind me, why?" She asked.

"You look like you need an examination. I can be your doctor," he said.

"Oi. Karev. I am here you know," Esmè said as she rolled her eyes.
