Grace was stood in the living room in the house. She was there for Derek's party. But she was bored as anything. She looked to Elle. "I'd rather be anywhere but here," she said as she looked to Mark who was smirking over at her.

Elle nodded. "I'm bored as hell too. Are you okay?" She asked as she looked to her and handed her a drink.

"This isn't even fun. I can't get drunk. Our parties were and are a whole lot better. Just saying," Grace said. She smiled. "I'm good. Don't worry. I'm happy."

Elle smiled and looked to her. "I know it's not been. But I do think he loves you," she said.

Grace just nodded. "I doubt it. I'm not dealing with this boredom. Anyone needs me, I'll be in my room. Drinking lemonade and slipping into my bed," she said as she walked over to the table and picked up the only bottle of lemonade.

She turned and bumped into Reed. "Watch where you're going tinkerbelle," she said as she walked off.

Elle stood there and sighed. She knew all about how Grace and Mark were taking things slowly.

And she wanted them to work out. Knowing how Grace deserved happiness.

Mark and Owen were with Derek. Derek was showing them the plans for the house he wanted to build for him and Meredith. "This whole wall will be windows. So we can take advantage of the view," Derek told them.

Owen looked to him. "Nice. Have you broken ground yet?" He asked.

"The day I was named chief," Derek said. He looked to Mark. "You're quiet."

Before Mark could say anything, Meredith walked in. "You know at my parties, we drink beer. And we dance on tables. Bella usually ends up stripping at some point," she said. She shrugged. "It's that boring Grace has gone to bed."

Derek turned to look at his wife. "Are you insulting my party?" He asked. He smirked. "And Grace is pregnant. It's going to be boring for her."

"It's getting kind of lame out there," Meredith told him.

"Duty calls."

Mark left the room and sighed. He knew Grace. And he knew how she loved a party. So for her to be in bed meant the party was boring.

Mark was stood by Callie. He saw how Elle was looking at him. He knew that she was loyal to Grace. And he didn't blame her.

Mark looked to Callie. He saw how she was looking at Arizona. "You're staring again," he said.

"I am not."

"You think I could go and find Grace?" Mark said as he looked to her. He knew he needed to be with her. She was his kryptonite.

Callie shook her head. "Look, I'm not in the mood for you and your life right now," she told him as she walked off.

Elle, Jackson and Reed were stood watching Mark. Reed turned to them. "I'm going in," she told them.

Elle frowned. "No. I don't think so. He's in love with my sister. Who's having his baby. And this is the my house," she said.

"No. Go ahead girl. Get yours," Jackson said, ignoring the glare he got from Elle.

Reed stood and walked over to Mark. Elle turned to Jackson. "What the fuck? Why would you encourage that?" She asked.

"Because. It's entertaining. He won't go with her."
