"So, how are things." She says as she was getting things ready for bed. "Mark, when will you come back. There is a lot going on and there is someone I want you to meet. No, I don't have a boyfriend as I haven't dated in a long time, but there is someone that I want you to meet and she means the whole world to me."

"What's her name?"

Maria sighed. "Isabella."

"Isabella? Sounds beautiful. Tell me more about her."

The next day, she was getting ready to work as Callie called her about her night with George. Yet, Maria told her that she told Mark about her daughter even though she thinks that he believes she's talking about a dog. Kissing her daughter bye, Maria was out the door. She smiled as today was a good day. She hopes.

Arriving at work, Maria was getting ready as George and Izzie was talking about Callie causing her to roll her eyes. "You know what, Izzie, shut the hell up. Callie just woke up and I know this because she has walked in on me getting ready for work too one time. I don't complain because she is my friend and eventually, George will speak the truth to your faces. So grow up."

They watched her walk out to get her job started. She saw a family that they are pushing through. She was with one of the patients as the others were with the parents. That was till she heard pregnant. "Maria, she's your patient."

"Coming." She says as she ran to the mother. "What do we have?"

"She's pregnant..."

"I need an ultrasound." She tells them. "Ma'am, you don't need to move. Stay still so I can check on the baby."

The girl nodded as Maria put the gel on her stomach. They heard the father causing her to sigh as she knew this was going to be hard. "Can we please stop crying out for one another?" Maria stated causing them to look at her. "I need to make sure this baby is okay and I can't with the way you are acting."

The father went quiet as Maria focused and sighed as she heard the baby's heartbeat. "The baby's heart beat is 152 and strong." Cristina tells them.

"It's okay."

Maria smiled as she heard the father announce to his wife that their grandbaby was okay. That was till she heard the commotion outside, but she was more worried about the pregnant 22 year old.

Maria was working when Addison found her working in the ob/gyn, but the person she wanted wasn't there. She went looking for him as Maria was getting her ready for a C.T. "The C.T won't hurt the baby, will it?"

"No, it won't hurt the baby or nothing." Cristina reassures her.

Maria was working as she listened to the girl. "I have a daughter myself." She tells her.

"Really?"

Maria smiled as she listened to her patient talk about the baby shower and how crazy things have been when Alex walked in. "I'm helping you."

"Fine with me. I don't need Cristina in here if she can't take a pregnant woman on seriously and let her talk to calm down." She states as she looked at Cristina. "Out."

Cristina rolled her eyes as she walked out as Alex walked over to her. "Even though you are an intern, you are scary."

"Alex, Addison is right there and she will focus on the ones who are interested in ob/gyn. This woman shouldn't be under the care of a doctor who isn't interested in the baby's life." Maria says. "All doctors should, but you have someone who rather fight over surgeries."

Addison smiled as she knew she had the right person to work under here.

Hearing her phone ring, Maria looked to see who was calling. Smiling, she pulled her phone out. "Hey, Mark."
