As Helena woke up in the morning, she stretched her legs under her covers, looking to the side to see Mark propped up on his elbow, staring at her.

"Morning." She said with a giggle, as she rubbed her eyes. "Why the staring?"

"I need something from you." He told her, Helena beginning to kiss him with a smile, as she moved closer to him. "Well, that too, but I need you to give Sloan an ultrasound today. It's been almost three weeks."

"Why can't someone from OB do it?" The girl asked, furrowing her brows as she climbed onto the man's lap, pressing a kiss to his lips.

"She likes you." Mark explained, between kisses. "Everyone does, but especially for Sloans, it's impossible not to."

As their kiss was getting heated up, Sloan barged into the room, asking. "Hey, do we have any more... oh, eww, eww!"

Helena practically flew back to her side of the bed, covering her face with her hands as she blushed noticeably. As the girl took deep breaths, Mark hurried to pull on some sweatpants, leaving to go after the girl.

"Boundaries... she promised to knock... boundaries." The short girl mumbled to herself as she pulled on some gym shorts, leaving to follow after her boyfriend.

As she left her room, she heard the blond complain. "There's no more cereal."

"I'll get some this afternoon." Mark told her as Helena pulled her hair up, her face still lightly blushed.

Moving to water Sally and Shrek, the plants in the living space, the girl suggested. "How about some orange juice? It's good for the baby."

At that, Mark poured some into a cup, handing it to his daughter, who smiled at him. At the girl's grin, the brunette smiled to herself, the gesture causing her heart to warm.

"Lee's gonna give you an ultrasound today." The man told her. "Why don't you get some breakfast at the hospital?" He suggested, handing her a couple bills.

"It's gonna be more." Sloan asked, nodding.

"Oh, that should be enough for a breakfast and middle morning snack, Sloan." Helena suggested, putting down the glass she'd used to water the plants.

"Need some of lunch, too?" Mark asked.

"Yeah, yeah." Sloan told him, not very convincingly.

At that, Helena narrowed her eyes, thinking that she'd need to talk to Mark later about how to say no to his daughter.

"Ok, I'm gonna go shower and then we'll go." The brunette told the younger girl, moving to go to the bathroom.

"Oh, can you hold on a minute? I'm probably gonna have to hurl this..." Sloan sighed, motioning to the orange juice before running to the bathroom.

"Alright..." She sighed, giving her boyfriend a soft smile as the girl locked herself in the bathroom. "I'll go to Cristina's."

Picking up a towel and clothes, the girl dragged herself to the apartment across the hall, seeing Cristina eating some cereal at the island.

Glancing up from the article she was reading, the resident asked. "Sloan-Sloan monopolizing your bathroom again?"

"Yeah... I mean, I know it's not her fault, but a vomiting teenager isn't exactly the ideal soundtrack to shower to." She sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Yours?"

"Owen is in mine." Cristina warned, Helena moving to Callie's room.

However, once she reached the door to the woman's bathroom, she found Callie and Arizona both naked in the shower, and certainly making the most of it.

"Oh my god!" The girl let out, immediately closing her eyes as she turned to leave. "I'm so sorry."

The girl's face flushed up again as she walked back to the kitchen, turning to Cristina. "You couldn't have warned me?"

"You should have knocked first." The woman simply shrugged, focusing back on her food.

"I am late, my hair is dirty, Sloan walked into almost sex this morning, and Mark just gave her eighty bucks for lunch and breakfast." She whined.

"That's quite a sandwich." Cristina scoffed.

"And I know she's just gonna spend it on some stupid piece of clothing, try to steal my lunch and make me the bad guy when I say no, and then keep wearing clothes, shoes and makeup without even asking." Helena complained, letting her head flop down against the countertop.

"You sound like my mother, Baby Genius." Cristina teased, as Arizona and Callie came into the living room, dressed in their towels.

"Knock much?" Callie asked, Helena's head snapping up.

"I'm sorry, I am so sorry. I didn't know you guys were in there and I promise I didn't see anything!" She apologized, moving to the woman's bathroom.

"Oh, there's no more hot water." Arizona warned, making Helena stop on her tracks and let her head fall back.

"Today has barely started and I hate it. I hate it much." She whined, stepping into the bathroom.

"Hey, do you have any cash? I lost the headset to my phone..." Sloan asked as Helena worked on giving her an ultrasound.

"You could always just hold the phone up to your ear, honey. It's what the phone is made for, after all." She told her, keeping her voice calm as she focused back on the ultrasound.

"Hey, you're the one who always asks me to stop talking on my phone so late." The blond narrowed her eyes.

"Sloan, both your father and I work long hours, we don't get that much rest. It's obviously a bit inconvenient that you keep us up at three am gossiping loudly." Helena tried to reason with her, keeping her smile despite her annoyance.
