MARK SLOAN WAS IN HIS BEDROOM, as he studied for his upcoming medical test. his concentration was disturbed by a knock on his front door. as he opened his door, his eyes widen at the sight beneath him. there was a sleeping baby in a baby carrier. next to it was a diaper bag, he noticed a card sticking out of the diaper bag

mark had a bewildered look on his face. all his thoughts were clouded. as he finally snapped back into reality, he quickly went back inside, grabbed his keys, along with the baby carrier and walked down to his car

he pulled out his phone and called the one person he knew that could help, seeing as his parents didn't care for him and weren't ever here. a ring went by before the person picked up "derek, i have problem"
