IT WAS 11PM WHEN MARK GOT home from work. he was surprised to maeve still awake, she was eating left over pizza that they bought when the two got home from los angeles, sloan having to stay back due to surgery

"hey sweetheart" he mutters sadly as he kissed her forehead

"hey" she smiled "guess what?" she questioned

"what?" he furrows his brows

"lexie called me earlier tod—

"why are you talking to her? why did you even pick up?" he immediately questions

"because she's my fri—

"you're my daughter, not hers. don't take her side" he immediately says

"sides? sides on what?" she asked confusedly

"lexie slept with karev" he blurted out, making her eyes widen

"and you slept with addison" she shrugged

"she dumped me and slept with karev" he repeated again

"and you slept with addison, what's the problem?" maeve questioned

"she dumped me for wanting to step up and be responsible for sloan. you of all people should how big of a step that is for me. i mean i have never introduced you to any of my girlfriends because i wanted to make sure i found the right one. i wanted you to have a mom figure or at least someone you can talk to. lexie was it, but then she dumps me and sleeps with karev" he shouts angrily

"dad, don't you think you're being hypocritical?" she questioned

"she dumped me! not the other way around!" he yelled

"da—

"no you know what i don't want to hear it" he said "now i have to go to sleep angry"

"I'M GIVING THE BABY UP FOR adoption" sloan blurts out as callie was forcing her to tell mark, seeing as she was going to do it being his back. mark immediately looks up at her with wide eyes "i'm not a mom. i'm not ready and i want him to have good parents and a good home"

"no, don't. don't do this. don't give this baby away" mark immediately responds

"they'll love him. they'll love him more than i will" sloan said to mark trying to convince him

"give him to me" he blurted out "i'll take him. i'll adopt him" he nods as callie and sloan look at him with a bewildered look "i understand. i understand. you're not ready, but i am. and i know i—i don't have the best track record, and i—and i should've been there for you, and i wasn't. but i raised maeve, i was taught the ropes. and i will be there for this baby. please"

"i want him to have a family. and, i mean, you've been really nice to me the past couple of months, but you're not a family. you're just a guy with a twelve year old daughter, who you're never truly there for" sloan told him

"sloan, please" mark plead

"i'll help" callie intervene "uh..." she chuckled to mark "i'm right across the hall. and we're a family, sort of. and... we're doctors... and we're best friends, and... and we're good people" she nods to mark before the two intertwined their hands "yeah, we'll... we'll take care of the baby, together. we'll love him...really well"

"just think about it" mark told her "go home. we'll talk about it. can we talk about it?" he asked as sloan slowly smiled

"yes. yes, we can. we can talk about it" she smiled at the two

"just don't tell maeve about the adoption, she's finally accepting you and she's excited about having a nephew"

♥︎

sloan made sure to check if maeve was asleep before packing up her suitcase and was out the door. just as sloan was opening the door to mark's apartment, callie was about to open her apartment door with her keys. callie turned around as she heard mark's door open

as she turned around she witness sloan coming out with her suitcase "oh, come on" callie called out as sloan shut the front door. sloan's eyes widen "did you even tell him you're leaving?"

"look, i-i just wanted a place to stay. and some money. i mean, i didn't know he was gonna care this much. he bought a crib" sloan muttered before grabbing her suitcase and began to leave

callie right behind her "well, he's a good man, and he'll be very good to your baby" callie spoke, sloan coming to a halt by the elevator "you could know the baby if mark raised him. you could come back and visit and—

"i-i don't want to know where to come back to" sloan cut her off "i mean, if i give him to you guys, it's still my baby, and i need him to be somebody else's. i mean, my dad got a clean break from me...and look at him now. don't i deserve that?" she confessed

callie sighs, taking in her point of view. she grabbed her purse and digged for money "prenatal vitamins are not a joke. take them. and do not skip any doctor's appointments. and...if you...get into any trouble or you have a problem with anything..." she walked towards the pregnant teen "call us" she handed her the money, sloan taking it "just...take care of yourself"

sloan nodded "thanks" she said before walking into the elevator

♥︎

a few hours later, callie was knocking on maeve's door "callie?" maeve groaned from being woken up by her knocking

"hey maeve" callie sighs softly

maeve furrowed her brows "what's wrong?" she immediately questioned

"we need to talk" callie told her. as maeve nodded she moved over so callie could walk in. the two walking over to the couch

"what's up?" maeve skeptically questioned

"we need to talk about sloan" callie said but maeve immediately lifted her finger to her lips signaling for her to quiet down

"she's over there sleeping" maeve pointed to her room where sloan was sleeping in

callie sighs "mae...s-sloan isnt sleeping...she left"

maeve immediately stood up, but callie gripped her hand "w-what n-no she's—

"i caught her leaving" callie confessed to the girl "your dad didn't want to tell you, but sloan decided to give the baby for adoption. mark was trying really hard to convince sloan to let him keep the baby. which he kinda did, but at the end she left. she just wanted money, a place to stay, and needs the baby to have other parents" callie said to the girl in a sadden tone

maeve felt tears prickle her eyes, not for sloan leaving, but for the one person she cares most about "oh my god" she scoffed "i-i should've know" she shook her head

"maeve you couldn't h—

maeve cut her off "well i should've!" she raised her voice slightly "d-do you know how heartbroken my dad's gonna be. i was finally starting to warm up to the idea of having an older sister, i was doing it for dad. god. h-he has too much on his plate already w-with lexie and karev" as she rambled callie gripped both her hands trying to calm her down

"mae, mae, maeve. look at me" callie muttered trying to get the girls attention. maeve finally glanced at her "mark is going to need you, you're the only person who can keep him calm and help him get through this. he needs you, you're his person"

maeve slowly nodded as she wiped the tear that managed to escape her eye "i'm his person"

GREY'S ANATOMY
SEASON 6 EPISODE 20

MAEVE WAS RUDELY WOKEN UP by loud screams. she removed the headphones from her ears, seeing as they drown out the certain noises she never wants to hear from the lady visits her dad has over "maeve! wake up!" she heard her father scream

maeve immediately jumped out of bed to see sloan laying on the air mattress, panting and screaming. a blue towel covering her spreaded legs. teddy looking under the towel "what the fu—

"maeve i need you to get me an extra towel! hurry the baby is coming!" teddy ordered, maeve immediately dashing to the nearest closet

as she walked over she noticed teddy lift the towel a tad bit "oh my god" maeve said in horror. immediately looked away as she noticed the head of the baby coming out from sloan

"towel now!" teddy raised her voice "okay sloan i need you to start pushing. maeve go grab her hand"

"n—

"now! maeve!"

four pushes later, sloan let out one last scream before teddy was now bringing up the baby as she lowered sloan towel, covering her. just as mark, cristina, callie, arizona, and owen barge in

mark immediately going to sloan's aid "holy mother of—

"get my bag. get my bag" arizona ordered callie, cutting her off as well

cristina running over to help "get me a clamp" teddy called out as cristina handed it over

"oh, god" sloan whimpers, hand tightening around maeve's hand

"all right. another clamp" teddy calls out as she cuts the baby's umbilical cord

"clamp" mark says handing her the extra clamp

"scissors"

"how is he? is he okay? is he good?" sloan questions panicky

"he's great. you did great" teddy assures the teen mom

"oh, dad" sloan whimpered

"all right" teddy lifted the baby

"any sounds?" arizona questions

"not yet" teddy responds as she hands over the baby to arizona

arizona quickly stood up, and took the baby away, trying to get him to let out a sound "come on, baby boy. come on. come on. come on. come on" arizona repeated slowly starting to get worried before the baby gets out a cry "okay" she let out a sigh in relief "that's my boy. okay. that's what i'm talking about"

as callie entered, arizona was walking over to mark and maeve. the baby fussing a bit "here you go, grandpa" arizona said with a smile as she handed the baby to mark

mark exhaled deeply as he carried him. maeve gripped her father's shoulder. he exhaled deeply once more before his lips tugged into a smile, glancing down at maeve with a even brighter smile "say hi to your nephew"

♥︎

"but boys like army crap, right?" sloan questioned as she was sat up on her hospital bed, holding up a small army toy. mark, maeve and arizona standing to her right

"oh, no. well, that's a choking hazard" arizona said as she grabbed the toy from sloan "and, well, he's a little young for that" she chuckles awkwardly "and—and that" she said grabbing the small dinosaur toy from mark's hand "he's just a little young" she whispered

"well, whatever. it doesn't really matter anyway. he's gonna be getting a lot nicer stuff soon" sloan muttered as she grabbed a folded paper, handing it to mark "here. uh, this is the number for the people that are gonna adopt  him—trish and keith. can you call 'em?" she questioned him. maeve immediately noticing his smile fade. mark just stared at the paper

"mark—

he cut arizona off "yeah"

"do you want me to handle that call?" arizona questioned him

"no, no. i'll take care of it" he said sadly as he gripped the paper

♥︎

maeve was seated in the hospital seat, baby sloan in her arms. mark insisted that she carried him at least once. the only reason she neglected the other times were because she didn't want to get too attached to him, she knew sloan was giving him away

"look at you, you're amazing at it" mark cooed as he watched his daughter carry his grandson

"just don't plan on having a kid anytime soon" sloan joked with a sly grin as she stared down at her report

"she's right, do we need to have the talk about using pro—

maeve's eyes widen "okay dad!" she whispered yells, trying to keep her voice down so the baby wouldn't get startled "your turn" she said motioning down to the baby

mark chuckled before taking the baby from her arms, he stared down at his grandson, pure love in his eyes. he paced around the room trying the keep the baby from crying

sloan cleared her throat "so, um, the nurse says i'm being discharged? i have to leave tomorrow? i just had the baby, like, today" sloan questions as she placed the folder down in her lap

mark walked over next to her "well, that's a good thing" mark told her "it means you're doing great. no complications. right, little man" he glanced back down at his grandson as he began to pace again

"well, where am i supposed to go? my mom kicked me out, and those friends i was trying with in portland were like, 'you gotta pay rent or you gotta leave'...and... i can't pay rent. i don't have a job. i don't have anything" sloan told him. maeve kept her eyes on mark, seeing a huge smile plastered on his face as he rubbed the baby's chest softly

"you can stay with maeve and me" mark offered, eyes trained on his grandson

sloan raised her eyebrows in shock "really?"

"sure. just until you figure things out" he inhaled deeply "you're gonna be okay. sloans are tough. isn't that right mae?" mark questioned to maeve as he still had his eyes on the baby

maeve grinned "damn right"

"you hear that? we're tough" mark told his grandson as the baby coos

sloan on the other hand was admiring at how mark was with the baby "um... maybe we should...keep him"

maeve and mark immediately glanced at her "do you think you could?" mark questioned

"maybe" she answered

mark glanced down at the baby before to sloan. he walked closer to her "you want to hold him?"

sloan shook her head "no. i...i don't think i know how
to—

mark cut her off "do you want to hold him? he's pretty great" he said as he leaned the baby down to her "look who it is" he whispers

now in her arms, sloan glanced down at her soon "hi baby"

"look at that. you're a natural" mark smiled

"it's up to you. if you think we can do this, raise him...together w-with maeve. if you think we can, then..." maeve couldn't help but smile at sloans words

"hey, guys" arizona walked in "he really needs to go to the nursery to be monitored and get his newborn checkup"

"dad already did the exam" maeve perks up as she walks to sloan's side

"and i'm monitoring. he's all good" mark adds as his eyes go to maeve, he smiled at her, grateful that she was getting along with sloan and the baby

"mark, when you get a minute, i'd love to have a quick word" arizona says as mark nods

♥︎

sloan had noticed maeve glaring out the window as mark and arizona stepped it go speak "hey maeve" sloan calls out. causing maeve to turn around "c'mere" she motioned for her to sit on her bed side. maeve skeptical obliged "do you wanna carry him?" she grinned softly

"sure" maeve smiles softly. as he was placed in her arms, she glanced down at him, a brighter smile placed on her face

on the other side of the wall, callie had joined the two adults in their conversation "what, she can't change her mind? people change their minds" callie told arizona who was trying to convince mark to call the adoptive parents

"this baby needs parents, not an 18-year-old child and a father who she met five minutes ago" arizona sternly said to mark

"shut up!" mark snapping at arizona

"mark—

he cut callie off "no. you know, you don't get to tell me what to do here. i appreciate your help, but you don't..." he shook his head "my mom is dead. my dad's never gonna get off the couch again. i don't have any brothers or sisters. this is my grandson— my grandson. i'm not just gonna turn him over to some strangers when i might have a chance at a family. so just... give me a minute here" and with that he walked away from the two and walked into sloan's room to witness his two daughters bonding

♥︎

night had fallen, sloan and maeve were talking among themselves before mark came back and was stood against the doorframe "i called your mother" he spoke up, eyes glued on sloan

"what?" sloan immediately questioned "why? she kicked me out"

maeve stood up from sloan bed and walks over to the chair, letting the two talk "she's on her way. she misses you. she's worried about you" mark told her as he takes a few steps closer

sloan scoffs as she leans back down on her bed "right"

"she's worried about you" mark continued as she let out another scoff "i'm worried about you, too"

"okay, if this is the part where you tell me that you talked to her and she convinced you that me keeping my baby was a bad idea because i'm young and irresponsible—

mark cut her off "that's not what the conversation was about"

"okay, we'll... so you thought it over and you decided that you don't have time for another kid? that's fine. i get it. you have a life. you're busy. but you know what? i can handle this kid on my own" sloan told him

"no you can't" he sternly said before glancing at sky then back to sloan "having a kid is hard. and you are young and irresponsible. and keeping him is probably a bad idea"

"but you kept maeve, you were only 23 also young and irresponsible" sloan argued

mark nodded "i was, but i had the best lady in the world to help me out while i was going to med-school. but if that is your decision, if that's what you want, then i'm in. i'm all in. i'm not too busy for my family. but..." he sighs before taking a seat on her bed "don't keep the baby for me. you'll always have me. and i'll always want you and that's true no matter what you decide" maeve felt tears prickle in her eyes "you're my kid. and i'm so happy... i get to know you, sloan. and i'm glad you and maeve get to know each other. i'm so happy about that"

"i'm happy about that too" maeve slowly stood up "i know we may have gotten off to a rocky start... but dad's right. you're his kid, you're my sister. and i'm glad i get to know you" maeve smiled sadly as she gripped sloan's hand

♥︎

it was time to say goodbye. callie and maeve went down to meet with the adoptive parents, while mark said his goodbye "just remember. the sloans, we bloom early. so when you start to grow hair on your face, don't be shy. live it up all the other guys will be jealous. it's okay to rub it in a little bit. but not a lot. you don't want to be considered too full of yourself. no one likes a vain guy in the locker room" mark spoke softly at his cooing grandson

maeve slowly opened the door, callie and the adoptive parents trailing behind her "dad" mark looked up, the two parents were stunned at the sight of the baby

"oh my god" trish, the adoptive mother said aww "is that him?" she questioned with a smile as she took a few steps forward her husband following along

mark stood up handing him to trish "hi there, little guy" keith, the adoptive father spoke up

"oh" trish's voice breaks "he's so beautiful" mark glancing at her before grabbing the baby's hospital bag and teddy bear

"this is, uh... and, uh, this..." he was hurting

trish looked up at him with a smile "thank you" as the baby started fussing "oh. shh. okay"

mark glanced one more time at the baby before heading to the door where maeve and callie were. he didn't hesitate in grabbing maeve's hand, he glanced at her before glaring at callie. the three looking up at the adoptive parents carrying baby sloan
