Mia arrived at the archfield. She made her way up to Mark's room and knocked the door. He answered a few moments later. "Mia?"

"I'm sorry. For blaming you. It's not your fault. I think it all got too much for me."

Mark invited her in. She walked in and sat down. He looked to her. "You have every right to be upset doll. Our baby is going to die. And you have every right to be upset," he said as he sat next to her on the bed.

Mia shook her head. "No. I shouldn't have done it. You're probably hurting just as much as I am. I just don't know how I'm supposed to bury my own baby. I never thought I'd be in this position."

"Do you really think it's something I want? Angel, I want nothing more than to have both our babies growing up with us," Mark said.

Mia smiled slightly. She sighed. "Well I'm sorry. Again," she said as she stood up.

Mark grabbed her wrist and pulled her on top of him. Mia looked into his eyes and smiled. "Mark what are we doing? Do we have something between us?"

Mark nodded. "I think we do. And I think it's more than just having babies."

Mia smiled a little. She looked to him. "I could stay over tonight? And we could watch a movie?"

"Sounds good. Do I get a little action?" Mark asked as he kissed her neck.

Mia shook her head. "No. You're not. If we're going to do this, then we're going to take it slow. And no one can know. Not yet," she said.

Mark nodded. He watched as she stood up and walked over to his wardrobe. She took out his yankees shirt and slipped it on. It looked good on her.

Meredith walked into Esmè's bedroom. She looked around. "Where's Mia?" She asked as she sat on the bed.

"I haven't seen her Mer. I'm worried about her. Since her breakdown. I've tried calling and she isn't answering at all," Esmè said.

Meredith sighed. "Did you know? About the babies?"

Esmè nodded. "She told me a few days ago. I wanted her to tell everyone else. But she wouldn't."

"One of them is going to die?"

"Yeah. Bilateral Renal Agenesis," Esmè said as she smiled. she sighed. "We have to help her through this Mer. She's not as strong as us."

Meredith smiled. "I hope when you and Alex have kids, you can talk to me."

"I know. But Mia... she isn't like us. She will keep it all quiet so she doesn't upset us. But we both know she can be an evil little witch when she wants to be," Esmè said.

Mia was lying in bed with Mark. They were watching Titanic together. Mark ran a hand over her thigh. He looked to her. "I messed up. When I came to that prom. I shouldn't have waited so long to answer you."

Mia looked to him.  She shrugged and smiled. "I think I overreacted. But it's fine. We all make mistakes," she said. She grabbed his hand and grinned. "And I thought I said no funny business?"

Mark smirked. "Well you're in my bed. And I can't stop thinking about those panties you're wearing," he said.

"Oh? You mean the black ones?" Mia asked as she tied her hair up into a bun.

"Those ones."

Mia grinned and looked to him. "Just a shame you can't actually touch me. I'm serious, we take it super slow. Actually, I have a deal."
