"It's been such a long time since I've gone out to a ritzy place like the Metropolitan Grill." Meredith said as she and Lexie finished getting ready for their double date.

"Same here; I haven't been anywhere like this since," Lexie stopped to think about it. "My God! The last time was probably when I lived in Boston." Lexie said as she shook her head and continued getting ready.

"Let's face it, our careers don't exactly give us the opportunity to do things very often." Meredith commented.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Lexie sighed.

"Could you button me up, Lex?" Meredith asked.

"Sure." Lexie said as she finished the last of her spiral curls. She walked over to Meredith and buttoned three buttons at the top.

"I can't believe this dress still fits." Meredith said to herself.

"We look amazing!" Lexie said as she and Meredith looked at themselves in a full length mirror. Lexie was wearing a knee length, navy blue dress that was low cut and had kimono sleeves. She wore her hair down but she curled it, framing her face perfectly. To top off the outfit, she donned a pair of glittery gold stilettos. Meredith was sporting a burgundy dress that was fitted with three-quarter sleeves and stopped just before her knees. She had her hair styled in a half-updo and she wore a pair of taupe wedges.

"Yeah, we do look pretty hot." Meredith chuckled.

"Are you ladies ready?" Derek's smooth voice called from downstairs.

"Yeah! We'll be right down!" Meredith responded as she grabbed a taupe clutch off of the bed. Lexie grabbed her gold one from the bed as well and they headed down the steps.

"Oh wow!" April said coming up to them with Zola on her hip. "You guys look stunning."

"Thanks April." Lexie smiled at her.

"Don't hesitate to call if anything happens, ok?" Meredith told her before she kissed Zola's cheek.

"Don't worry. Zola and I are gonna have lots of fun tonight!" April swooned. "Isn't that right, Zo?" April cooed.

"Are we—" Jackson started to say as he entered the foyer but then his eyes locked on Lexie. "Lex, you looking…gorgeous." He said softly.

"Thanks," She told him shyly. "You look pretty dashing yourself." She said looking him up and down, taking in his appearance. He was wearing a pair of black dress pants and a dark grey blazer with a white collared shirt underneath.

"Alright you two," Derek said coming up behind Jackson. "Don't screw right here on the floor…in front of my daughter." He joked.

"You're so dramatic Derek." Lexie said rolling her eyes.

"She's in your hands Kepner," Derek said before opening the door. "Anything happens and I'll have you fired…again."

"He's kidding." Meredith told her as she pushed Derek out the door, followed by Lexie and Jackson.


They had been seated and the atmosphere was wonderful. The lights were just right; it wasn't too bright or too low, and a pianist was playing the mellowest tune.

"I'm really glad we decided to do this guys," Derek said as he picked up his menu. "This is a really nice place."

"I agree." Jackson said. They hadn't even been seated five minutes when a voice made all of them turn.

"Derek?" Mark said coming up to the table, followed by Callie, Arizona, and a petite red-head.

"Oh hey! What're you guys doing here?" Derek asked surprised.

"We're on a double date." Mark said.

"So you decided to call Dr. Canner after all?" Derek asked before looking at the petite woman. "It's wonderful to see you again Dr. Canner." He told her politely.

"Oh please, call me Julia, Dr. Shepherd." She told him with a smile.

"Ok Julia. None of this Dr. Shepherd business then; it's Derek."

"We should join you guys if they have a table that's big enough for all of us."Arizona suggested.

"I don't—" Lexie began to protest but was cut off by Mark.

"That sounds like a good idea. I'll go talk to someone about it." He said before leaving.

"Hi. I'm Derek's wife, Meredith." Meredith introduced herself to Julia.

"This is my sister-in law, Lexie and her…er…" Derek trailed off, not knowing what exactly Lexie and Jackson were. "A friend of our's, Jackson." Derek finished, deciding that was the best term to use.

"Nice to meet you all. You all work at Seattle Grace-Mercy West?" She asked.

"Yep," Meredith informed her. "How do you two know each other?" Meredith asked.

"Julia is an ophthalmologist at Seattle-Presbyterian," Derek explained. " During my time as chief, I had a meeting to go to and Julia is the alternate chief for Seattle Pres." He finished.

"Yeah and we were both bored to death and we talked about how much we hated being chief…even though I only stand in his place when he's on vacation." She commented.

Lexie stayed quiet this whole time as she listened to the conversation; this was going to be one hell of a night, a quadruple date with her beau, her sister and brother-in-law, her ex and his date, and a couple of lesbians.

"Ok, the waiter said there's a table in the back that we can move to." Mark announced as he came back to the group. The four that had already been seated, got up and resituated themselves at the bigger table. Mark, Julia, Derek, and Meredith were on one side while Callie, Arizona, Jackson, and Lexie were on the other side. Lexie was thankful that she wasn't sitting directly across from Mark but instead was across from Meredith.

"Hi, I'm Jonathan and I'll be your server tonight," The young man said in a friendly manner. "Can I start any of you off with a drink?" He asked.

"Tequila sunrise." Lexie said quickly, barely allowing him to finish his question. Everyone looked at her in a weird manner.

"What? It's been a while since I've had a drink." Lexie chuckled nervously as she avoided everyone's stares. She was going to need a drink for a night like this.


An hour and half later, they had all finished their meal and Derek had been telling them about the "College Adventures of Derek and Mark".

"Don't even get me started about the time when all the female faculty, wanted to have him kicked out of school!" Derek laughed.

"Oh gosh!" Julia laughed. "What did he do?"

"Well, the rumor was that he slept with them all." Derek told them.

"All of them?" Arizona asked in disbelief.

"Even the old ones?" Callie asked as she scrunched up her face.

"That's what they said." Derek laughed.

"Ewww." Everyone at the table groaned minus Lexie. She was on her third tequila sunrise or maybe it was her fourth and she had been eerily quiet for the last twenty minutes.

"So was it true?" Julia asked him.

"I plead the fifth," He told them before taking a sip of his beverage. "We sure did have some crazy times back then." Mark said wistfully as he let his mind drift to yesteryear.

"Excuse me; I have to go to the ladies room." Lexie said slurring her words a bit before she got up from the table. She hadn't stood up for quite some time and she felt like the room was spinning.

"Need some help?" Meredith asked quietly, trying not to draw attention to her sister.

"No. No, I got it." Lexie said as she composed herself and headed to the restroom.

A few seconds later, Mark got a call on his cell phone. He answered it but was met with an incoherent voice. He looked down at his phone and realized, he didn't have a good signal.

"Excuse me guys," He told the table as he got up. "Hang on. I'm going outside to get a better signal." He said into the phone.


Lexie came out of the bathroom, still tipsy of course and before she knew it she had collided with another warm body. She felt herself falling but she quickly felt a strong pair of arms around her waist to steady her and keep her from falling.

"Oh! I'm so sorry—" She began to say but when she looked up she was met with the familiar eyes of Mark Sloan. "Oh, it's just you." She said as she began to squirm in his embrace.

"Sorry." He said as moved his arms from around her waist. Next thing, she knew, another person had bumped into her from behind, forcing her to lean into Mark's body. She was so close that she could feel his breath tickling her lips. She looked up into his eyes; when had things gotten so complicated between them? She quickly pulled back and cleared her throat.

"We should get back to the table." Lexie said.

"After you." He nodded. They went back to the table and it wasn't lost on Jackson, Callie, Meredith, or Derek that they had come back together; the only clueless ones were Arizona and Julia.

"Why don't we go back to my place?" Mark murmured to Julia, unfortunately it was loud enough for everyone—including Lexie—to hear. Her breath caught in her throat as she waited to hear the red head's answer.

"Sure." She said huskily.

"This was fun," Mark said as he got up from the table. "We should do this again sometime." Mark said as he clapped Derek on the shoulder. He put his arms around Julia's shoulder and then they were gone.

"Looks like someone is about to get laid." Callie said before taking a sip of her wine.

"And so is someone else," She murmured to herself as she finished her tequila sunrise. "Take me home Jackson." She told him suddenly.

"Derek and Meredith drove." He said.

"We can take a cab." She shrugged.

"Alright." He told her before they got up.

"See ya guys at home," Lexie winked at Meredith. "It was nice having dinner with you guys." Lexie said to Callie and Arizona.

"Likewise." Arizona agreed.

"Bye." Jackson said before he and Lexie walked away from the table.

"What just happened?" Arizona asked confused.

"Those two idiots are about to screw other people." Callie told her pointedly.

"Wait, they aren't still—"

"Hung up on each other? Oh yes they are." Meredith told Arizona as she saw Callie shake her head, agreeing.

"Damn. I got stuck with the bill." Derek realized.

"Oh quit complaining," Meredith told him. "How much money do you make?"

"Yes but we have a child now, a child that will one day go to Bowdoin." Derek said proudly.

"You mean Dartmouth." Meredith corrected.

"Bowdoin."

Dart—"

"Guys, she just made one; you've got a long time before she's gonna be picking colleges out." Arizona told them.

"You can never plan too early," Meredith said. "As a mater a fact, I just bought Zola the cutest Dartmouth onesie." Meredith gushed. That's all it took for the three mothers to start talking baby this and baby that, leaving the only man left behind to just listen with little interest.


"Are you sure about this Lex?" Jackson breathed heavily as they made their way to her room. His hands were tangled in her hair and they were stumbling through the hallway.

"I'm sure." She said as she kissed him fiercely. They had accidentally bumped the wall and caused April to come out immediately.

"I just got her to sleep!" She whispered sharply but then stopped when she took note of their position. Lexie wore a "deer caught in headlights" look while one leg was on the floor and the other was around Jackson's waist. Jackson had slipped one hand up Lexie's thigh and the one previously in her hair was now cupping her behind.

"Don't mind me." April chuckled nervously as she turned around and retreated back to her bedroom.

"Where were we?" Jackson whispered in her ear huskily before continuing. They finally made it to Lexie's room, closing the door behind them. They reached the bed, leaving a trail of clothing behind.

"Are you gonna give me what I want?" Lexie said naughtily.

"You have no idea."Jackson said before he brought his lips to her's again.


Mark woke up to the sound of someone shuffling. He slowly opened one eye and saw a blur of red hair moving to and fro.

"Morning."He said groggily.

"Morning." Julia said shyly.

"Leaving so soon?" He asked before blinking his eyes a few times to clear his vision.

"Sorry. I got a 911 page." She said as she slipped her shoes on her feet.

"I understand." He told her as he got up. He found a pair of sweats lying around and put them on.

"I had a really great time last night," She told him as she walked up next to him. "I hope we can do this again sometime?" She suggested.

"Definetely." Mark gave her a lopsided grin.

"Great," She said before kissing him on the lips. "Call me." She said before grabbing her purse and walking out of the apartment.

"What a night." Mark said as he stretched his hands over his head. He heard a knock at the door; thinking it was Julia, he rushed quickly to the door.

"Your company just left, eh?"Callie said as she walked past Mark, inviting herself in.

"Uh huh." Mark answered as he went into the kitchen.

"You might have to watch Sofia tonight."She told him.

"Okay, "Mark told her. "So how'd the rest of the night go?" He asked as he made himself some coffee.

"Well…after you left, I'm sure Avery and Little Grey screwed like rabbits." Callie snorted.

"I see." Mark said shortly.

"Don't do that."Callie shook her finger at him.

"Do what?" He asked innocently.

"Whatever game this is that you and her are playing." Callie told him seriously.

"Nobody's playing games Torres; I don't know if you noticed but a stunning red head just left my apartment."

"If you say so."Callie dropped the subject.


Lexie's head was pounding. The events of last night were kind of hazy but she remembered that Jackson was a sex god. She blushed as certain images ran through her head. She turned her head to see that he was beginning to wake up too.

"Hi." He told her as he opened up his gorgeous eyes.

"Morning." She yawned.

"Did you enjoy last night?" He asked her hopefully.

"Did I ever," She said mesmerized. "I'm sore in all of the right places." She giggled.

"That means I did good." He said moving his arms around her waist.

"That's an understatement," She told him. She paused before she went on. "Are we…does this make it official?" She asked timidly.

"Hmmm?" He asked.

"Are we ummm," She cleared her throat and was getting slightly nervous, although she didn't know why. "Boyfriend and girlfriend now?" She finished.

"If you want us to be." He told her as he looked her in the eyes.

"Yeah, I do." She told him with a smile.

"Do you want me to make you breakfast in bed…girlfriend?" He asked her.

"I'd love that." She told him before giving him a peck on the lips.
