TWO YEARS LATER.

''Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear George. Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, baby. Here are your presents. Look mama bought you five presents this year. ''

Lexie smiled as she watched her little son open his presents. She couldn't believe that it had been two years since she gave birth to him at the hospital where she's still working. George had just opened all of his presents when the phone rang. ''Stay there honey I'm just gonna go and get the phone.''

''Hi, it's Lexie.''

''Hi, Lex. Can I talk to the little birthday boy?''

''Meredith! Yes of course you can. George! It's aunt Meredith, she wants to talk to you.''

She laughed as she helped the little boy talk in the phone, he held it upside down and then he gave it back to Lexie and went to his room to play with his new toys.

''He's always like this when he gets new toys, he'll be bored within an hour.''

''I totally know what you mean! Zola and Charlotte are exactly like that. How are you?''

''I'm great, what about you sis?''

''Don't call me sis! You know that I hate it! But I'm great too, we're all great.''

''Haha. I'm glad to hear. And I was just going to call you actually. I don't have work for about two weeks and I thought that maybe me and George could come over and live with you? I have some things to do in Seattle and I think it's time for George to visit your house.''

''Yeah, that sounds great! Maybe you can babysit the kids someday so they don't have to go to kindergarten every day? And yes, it's about time that George is finally going to visit Seattle. When are you coming?''

''Of course I can babysit. And I looked up the flights yesterday, I can take one tonight if that's okay?''

''That sounds great. It has been so long, see you tonight then!''

''See you tonight.''

And after that phone call she started to pack clothes for her and her son. And then she spent the rest of the day doing things George wanted since it was his birthday. She got him his favorite food on the way to the airport; McDonald's.

George fell asleep immediately at the plane and Lexie was glad because this was his first time to fly. She thought about all of her friends in Seattle, she had promised them to visit but she didn't want them to know about the baby. Only Meredith and Derek knew, and of course Cristina since she and Meredith told each other literally everything. But George was getting older and he had started to ask questions about why he didn't have a father like his friends at the kindergarten had. So she finally took the step to visit Seattle where the father lived. She knew that Mark was George's father; she could see it so well. George had the famous ''Sloan nose''. But she hadn't had the courage to tell Mark. What if Mark didn't want another baby? He already had Sofia. But she had to tell him now. She had to think about what's best for George.

Meredith met them at the airport a few hours later, she carried the sleeping George to the car while Lexie took the bags. They talked some small talk in the car about what had happened today and things like that. When they got to Meredith's house they carried George to the big extra bed Meredith had in her guest room and then they went to the living room where Derek was.

''Lexie! It's so nice to see you.'' Derek said as he gave her a hug before she sat down in the sofa, between Meredith and Derek.

''It's nice to see you too, I've missed you all.''

''We have missed you too, how's life in Boston?''

''It's great. Busy, but you know how that is, right?''

''Oh we sure do. So what brings you to Seattle, Meredith said that you had some things to do?''

And she told her about George's questions and that she had decided to tell Mark.

''That's great. Mark has been really down lately. And I'm sure that he'll want to help with George.'' Meredith said.

''He's been down? Why is that?'' Lexie asked curiously.

''Well he hasn't had a girlfriend for two years and I don't know, he hasn't really been the old Mark lately. I miss him.'' Derek said.

They continued to talk for a while before they went to bed since Meredith and Derek had to work the next day. Lexie lay next to her sleeping son and she gave him a goodnight kiss at the forehead. And she decided that tomorrow she's going to talk to Mark and probably tell him about her son, their son. And then she fell asleep dreaming about a world where she lived happily ever after with Mark and George. But she didn't remember the dream when she woke up the next morning.
