I bail. Okay, when things get hard I... I walk away, maybe it's because I grew up an army brat, we moved every 18 months. Maybe I never learned to commit, but I'm here now, and I'm staying because I'm gonna fight to make sure you know that I'm committed to this thing. I'm not perfect but neither are you, and you... you wanna talk about faults? How about not being able to forgive? At some point you're gonna have to forgive me, and it may as well be now because I am in love with you Calliope and you are in love with me and all I'm asking for is one more chance.

Callie

You want another chance?

Yes. More than anything, I want another chance.

Callie

Today I found out that I'm pregnant. With Mark's baby. How about now?

What did Arizona say?

Callie

Well, she said she's in.

Well, that's good, right?

Callie

Eh, I'm still hedging my bets. I'm not gonna move back in with her until I know for sure she's not gonnna bail again.

[walks up] Hey, you got dinner plans tonight?

No.

I'm cooking for you tonight, your place. I rocked the lab coli. [kisses him and walks off]

Callie

So when you gonna tell her?

Not until after my home cooked meal.

Callie

Mark, you do not have to do this. I'm giving you a get out of jail free card, no hard feelings, you can be the cool uncle that hangs out on Sundays.

I'm not the cool uncle. I'm the dad.

Callie

You love Lexie. And the last time a Sloan kid appeared in Seattle she dumped you. Now, if you were the cool uncle...

I'm not the cool uncle! Don't ever say that again. This is my kid. I want this kid. [mutters] Cool uncle.

Callie

Well, so then tell her. Do not wait until this kid comes out looking all Sloan-y.

[to Callie] Shut up. Just shut up. You don't get to tell me that we're not together. We are together. Because I love you and you love me, and none of the rest of it matters. We are together. And if you ever sleep with anyone else again, man or woman, I will kick the crap out of you. Now you sit your ass back down there because that's my baby in there. I don't want anything happening to my baby.

Callie

[smiling] Your baby, huh?

[smiles back] Our baby.

Callie

[while trying to set a hip dislocation] It is his body! Okay? You don't get to say what he can and can't do with it! He is a person! He gets to make his own damn choices! I AM GOING THROUGH THE WORST CAFFEINE WITHDRAWAL OF MY LIFE BECAUSE SOMEONE THINKS THAT BEING PREGNANT MEANS THAT I'M NO LONGER OF SOUND FRICKIN' MIND!

You're pregnant?!

Callie

Shut up! I'm not endangering my baby, I just-I just want one damn cup of coffee!

Okay...Kepner, go get Dr. Torres a cup of coffee.

Okay.

[Callie grunting]

[to April] RUN!

Callie

[panting] Thank you.

Congratula-

Callie

[exasperated] Oh whatever. Just come around here and help me with his hip!

Callie

[to Arizona and Mark] Here's the thing. I get that things are going to be different now, and uh, that's why I'm gonna eat that chicken...even though the only thing I want right now is a peanut butter sandwich.

Great!

Callie

Oh, I'm not done. If we're gonna do this whole everybody gets a vote thing, there's gonna be a new system. We'll still each get one vote, but also, the baby gets a vote. As I house the baby, I'll be speaking for him/her. And, since I'll be pushing this baby out of a very small hole in my body, I'll also get an extra special vagina vote! So, that's uh, three votes for us, two votes for you guys. Oh! We get the final say! Now, I'll be using my many votes to say that once a day, I will have one cup of regular coffee which is perfectly fine according to the studies that I've read. At least until I begin breastfeeding. Now, anybody wanna argue with my extra special vagina vote?

No thank you.

[spoken in unison with Mark] No...

Callie

Great. [silence] Oh. We also vote that Mark gives me a foot rub.

LLucy

Your BP is borderline high. Are you feeling okay?

Callie

Oh, yeah, no. That's the nerves about the baby shower. Yeah, it's like Christmas morning.

You are way too excited about this.

Callie

Hey, I have bought expensive gifts and played stupid games for every knocked up nurse in this place. Now it's my turn. [to Lucy] You're coming, right? [Lucy looks surprised] Arizona, you invite the OB. The fate of my vagina's in her hands.

Yeah, um... 1 pm. Fourth floor doctor's lounge.

LLucy

I'll see if I can make it. [Callie glares] I'll make it.

[after Callie gets a text] We've been gone all of ten minutes what could Mark possibly want?

Callie

[laughs, and reads the message] Oooh. Oh, yeah, okay this is bad. He found out Lexie is with Avery and he's freaking. [Callie goes to type a reply, Arizona takes her phone and throws it in the backseat] Oh, what the hell?

What? Th-This is time for us. It's just for us. And the first thing you wanna do is talk to Mark.

Callie

You just said it was okay. Okay, you know what? Oh, screw it. [takes off her seat belt and climbs in back to get her phone]

What are you doing?

Callie

I'm gonna talk to him.

Don't you dare call me.

Callie

This is jealously, Arizona. You are jealous of Mark. Get over it.

Do you blame me? I mean he gets most of you. The straight you, the Catholic you, the girl who loves baby showers. I just get, you know, the gay you, which is really only about twenty minutes a night... Not even. Since you just feel too fat to even let me touch you lately.

Callie

Look, I am doing my best here to make sure that you are happy, and that Mark is happy and that the tiny person growing inside me is happy. I don't know what else I can do to be honest. Please tell me. Cause I'll do it. Whatever will make you happy, I will do it.

[pauses] Marry me.

Callie

[laughs] What?

I mean, it. I love you more than anything but I want more. I want commitments, I want rings, so, marry me.

Hey, it's healing pretty well. Maybe in a couple days you can try sitting up by yourself.

Callie

Let's try now.

Can't rush it.

Callie

Why'd I get you? Why aren't you cutting out hearts somewhere?

Well, Altman and I had a falling out over your ventricular septal defect, actually. I'm giving her some space. Okay, you're good. You need anything?

Callie

I need to see my baby.

She's mostly tubes and wires. And she looks more like a chicken than a baby. Like a featherless, beakless chicken. You want to wait until she's cuter.

Callie

You're the worst godmother ever.

You picked me.

Callie

[about her baby] She's not ready, no she can't leave. She's been watched by doctors twenty four hours a day...

She still willl.

Callie

Okay, well, her lungs. She could get RSV.

Well, any kid could get...

Callie

She's not getting in a car. It's not safe.

Callie...

Callie

It's not safe. The last time she was in a car, she nearly died, we both nearly died. Get-- get her out of that thing. Give her to me, Mark. I'm- I'm not kidding, [crying] get- get her out of that thing.

Callie... Callie... Okay, you're right. You are absolutely right. Cars are not safe for children. Okay, neither are bookcases or squirrels, strong winds, people who sneeze. They're all going to get your baby. But honey, you don't feel this way because you were in an accident. You feel this way because you are a parent. It'll pass... mostly. Some of it never will.

You realize your door is unlocked? I could be anyone. I could be a burglar coming to burglar you. Where's the baby? [Callie shows her the baby on the monitor, she smiles] Oh, I could be a baby-napper trying to baby-nap you.

Callie

I know why they sent you and it doesn't matter what you say, the wedding's still off. My mom's right, it's a joke. It's not a wedding, and it's not happening. I can't have a priest; I no longer have a minister. [sobs] I'm not being given away by my dad, the wedding isn't legal, what's the point? This isn't a wedding, it's not even in a church, it's nothing. It's a couple of girls playing dress up. It's not real, it's not real.

[sighs] Okay, first of all, you do not need the law or a priest or your mother to make your wedding real. And the church can be anywhere you want it to be. In a field, on a mountain, right here in this room, anywhere because where do you think God is? Come on, He's in you. He's in me. Just right here, in the middle of us. Your church just hasn't caught up to God yet. Your mother, she hasn't caught up to God yet. And, by the way, she may not ever catch up, but it's okay. It's okay. If you are willing to stand up in front of your friends and your family, and God, and commit yourself to another human being to give yourself in that kind of partnership for better or worse in sickness and in health. Honey, that is a marriage. That is real, and that's all that matters. Besides, I got legally married to a man in a church. Look how well that turned out. [laughs]'

[The scene cuts back and forth between Derek and Mer getting married to Callie and Arizona getting married]

JJudge

Applicants Grey and Shepherd...

That'd be us.

JJudge

I need to see some ID. Okay, this seems to be in order, I'll jump right in. We are here today to participate in a marital union...

...To celebrate love and happiness and loyalty, and in my opinion, a little bit of magic.

JJudge

In the form and regulations of the state of Washington,

To bring together two exceptional and beautiful human beings...

JJudge

Since it is your intention to enter into marriage, join hands, and repeat after me. I, Derek Shepherd...

I, Derek Shepherd...

I take you, Calliope Torres to be my wife.

For better or for worse in good times and in bad...

Callie

I choose you to be the one whom I spend my life...

I love you.

Callie

I love you.

JJudge

Okay, you sign there, and you sign there. [they both sign] By these documents and according to the state law of Washington...

Okay, I hereby pronounce you wife and wife. [Callie and Arizona kiss]

JJudge

Congratulations.

Why, thank you.

Hey, you guys going to that breakfast thing?

Uh, yeah after we drop her off at day care.

Oh my, God. Look at her she is so beautiful. [in baby voice to Sofia] Hey, hey. You are beautiful. And you got the best mommies, did you know that? Yes, you do. Oh, you so do. [Sofia coos] Hello, hello, hello.

Callie

What's wrong with her?

She's getting laid, she's unnaturally cheerful. [Lexie walks by with a group of interns]

Callie

Oh, new interns. I hate new interns.

Seriously? I love new interns. They're the future, the next generation, filled with hope and promise, innovation.

Wow. The sex with Henry must be really good.

Earth-shattering. [Arizona covers Sofia's ears] Not even Yang is gonna get me down.

Hey! You bought pizza?

No! Pizza? I made a coq au vin!

Callie

[dumps pan into the trash; Arizona and Mark protest] Mark, I love you. I love how great you are with our daughter. I love that you and Arizona are friends, but you, you need to leave 'cause tonight I'm gonna eat pizza and drink beer in bed with my wife and tell her all about the neck I just built and then we're gonna have lots and lots of sex. Okay? We're great parents, but, we're more than just mommies and daddies. We are hot and we are sexy, and your new hobby? The hollandaise and the short ribs and the [mockingly] coq au vin? It's getting in the way of our sex lives. So, please. Start having sex again. Okay? But, not tonight. Cause tonight? You're babysitting.

I just want to say how proud I am of all of you. You are an incredible team.

[to Bailey] Now who's drunk?

I've watched you work together, solve problems together, I've watched you teach each other and learn from each other. You step up when you need to and you... you do more than anyone asks you to. You're the finest team I've ever been a part of.

Oh, my God.

Sad.

Beautiful.

Callie

You don't think we have a shot at winning this.

What this? This. No, no, we're screwed. You are all horrible at softball but... [they all laugh] As doctors, you're pretty great and I'm proud to just to get to lead you. And you're all here so I just... I just wanted to tell you. But, now, we're going down. But what do you say we go down fighting? [they all cheer]
