So I had this idea about what it would have been like if Lexie had not died and then Maggie turned up. Also I did not kill Mark either. They both survived the Plane crash but Lexie still had pretty significant injuries so was a year behind with her residency.
Lexie was so excited, today was her first day of her Neurosurgery Fellowship. She had been offered multiple places, in Boston, Johns Hopkins, Mayo, all the top hospitals had wanted her, but she had decide to stay in Seattle at the hospital her life had really begun, even though Mark, who she had married eight months ago, had told her he would follow her anywhere. So today was her first day and she had set the alarm to go off a whole half an hour earlier than usual.
"Today, is the day." She said to Mark, her eyes lighting up with excitement.
"You do realize you are working at the same hospital as you did yesterday."Mark said rubbing his eyes, he was happy that Lexie was excited but he really did wish he could have an extra hours sleep.
"Mark it's a big deal, I'll be wearing navy scrubs today, not light blue, navy." Lexie said, with a smile, it was a big deal and Mark new that, it had not been easy for Lexie to get to this point, after the plane crash she had, had to go through months of rehabilitation and she still had a minor residual limp, that she was very self conscious about.
"You do look good in Navy." Mark said, with a dirty grin.
"You look even better in nothing though." Mark said, wrapping his arms around Lexie and rolling on top of her.
"Mark, stop it please, you're going to make me late." She said, squealing as he started to kiss along her collar bone.
"That's okay, you're a fellow today, Derek's fellow, I'm sure I can smooth things over with my dear brother in law, if you are running just a few minutes late."Mark said before throwing his shirt out of the bed.
"Plus aren't we practicing for trying?" Mark said, looking into her eyes.
"You don't need any practice, plus we are not trying for at least another six months, I want this year to go well, I want to finish my fellowship on time." Lexie said.
"That doesn't mean we can't practice." Mark said, as Lexie relented.
Later that morning, Lexie finally arrived at the Hospital, she parked in her designated spot, just as Meredith pulled up.
"Hey Mer!" Lexie said, walking over to help Meredith with the kids.
"Hey Lexie, big day." Meredith said, smiling at her sister.
"I know right, navy scrubs."Lexie said, for the umpteenth time that day.
"Navy scrubs and a lot more responsibility." Meredith said, passing Bailey to Lexie as they walked into the hospital.
"Hey, how's my favorite nephew, today?" Lexie asked in a cute voice.
"He's your only nephew." Meredith replied.
"Still my favorite."Lexie said as they paused in the lobby, a resident was guiding the new interns through the hospital, giving them the same speech they had both been given on their first day.
"I can't believe I am a fellow today." Lexie said again as they entered the attending's lounge.
"I get to use this lounge." Lexie said sitting down on the couch.
"Oh please, Lexie you've been using the attending's lounge for a year." Meredith said.
"I know, but today, I am actually suppose to be here." Lexie mused as the new head of cardio Maggie Pierce, walked in.
"Little Grey." Derek said walking in, with a smile on his face.
"Your late."He smiled, he didn't really care.
"Mark's fault." Lexie countered with a grin, she liked working with Derek.
"Come on be nice to my sister, it's her face day." Meredith said, passing Bailey to Derek.
"Go make yourself useful and take him to daycare." Meredith said.
"I'll see you up on the floor, Lexie," Derek said,
"and I will see you at lunch time Meredith." Derek said kissing his wife, before walking off with their son.
"Hi, I'm Dr Margaret Pierce, Maggie, I am not sure why I said Margaret, I am the new head of cardio."Maggie said offering her hand out.
"Hi I'm Lexie Grey-Sloan, I am a Neuro fellow." Lexie said, shaking Maggie's hand.
"Meredith Grey, general surgery." Meredith said, she still missed Cristina, she had only left a week ago.
The new doctor stared at the two women, Grey was a common name she told herself, there were probably lot's of doctors with that surname. She had been talking to Dr Weber last night about her biological mother and he hadn't mentioned that she had sisters. But she could not help but wonder, where these two doctors related to her. She was going to ask but before she got a chance, her pager went off, and she headed off to where she thought the pit was.
"She was a bit, un-cardio-y." Meredith said, no one would compare to Cristina.
"She seems alright didn't Cristina pick her anyway." Lexie said.
"I suppose, I guess we'll see, you should get changed into your navy scrubs." Meredith said with a grin. Today was a big day for Lexie and Meredith was glad she got to be there with her sister. It was funny she had never wanted a sister, not really but Lexie had not been content with that and had somehow weaseled her way into Meredith's heart and Meredith was glad Lexie had, because now she could not imagine her life without the perky brunette she had grown to love.
"I'll see you later Lexie, have fun putting on the navy scrubs." Meredith said before leaving.
Lexie quickly changed into her new navy scrubs, and went to find Derek, today was going to be a good day, she thought.
This will be a multi chapter. let me know what you think.
