CHAPTER THREE
- Seattle Grace Hospital, Day Care Centre, 2016 -
Four year old Bailey Melissa Burke ran up to her mother as Christina walked through the door at 4 o'clock that afternoon.
"Hey, baby," Christina greeted, grabbing her daughter underneath the arms and placing her on her hip. "How was your day?"
The four year old began babbling incoherently as her mother signed her out of the centre's care, recounting every minute of her day in the centre, especially with her best friend, Carly Grace Sloan, Mark and Addison's four year old daughter.
Christina laughed as the pair headed back up to the surgical floor, ready to gather the Chief, who also happened to be her husband, and bundle him off home to their nine year old son, Adam. He was the outcome of the hot post-prom sex that had started everyone's problems ten years ago. But they loved him anyway.
"Hey baby," Preston whispered in his wife's ear, kissing her forehead quickly before rubbing her very pregnant belly lovingly and relieving her of Bailey.
"Daddy!" Bailey yelled, raising her arms to exchange parents. "Hi, Daddy!"
"Hey, munchkin," Burke greeted, tussling his daughter's curly brown ponytails.
"Can we go home now?" Bailey asked, pushing out of her father's grip and running towards the elevator.
Laughing together, Preston and Christina walked off after their little girl, thankful that she wasn't jealous of her baby sister, due any day now.
- Seattle Grace Hospital, Delivery Room, 2007 -
"It's a boy!" Addison Montgomery-Sloan screamed excitedly, as she presented the newly born Burke baby to his parents. "Christina, you have a son," she said proudly, starting to tear slightly.
"It's a girl!" Meredith Grey screamed, presenting the first baby Sloan to her parents.
Mark and Addison beamed widely at their oldest newborn daughter, hugging her gently before returning her to a NICU nurse to be cleaned up and weighed.
"Ok, Addie, here comes baby number two," Meredith encouraged. Though she was a neurosurgeon, Meredith was birthing Addison's twins as a favour, and she was the twins' godmother; George was their godfather.
Addison and Mark screamed together as the next contraction rippled through her body, the tense muscles pushing the second baby from her cervix.
"You're fully dilated again, Ads, so these last two should really do it," Meredith encouraged her friend. "Come on, push with the contraction! PUSH!"
Christina stood next to Meredith, watching Addison push the second of her children out of her body, knowing she would be going through this in a month or so. "Come on, Satan, you can do it," Christina muttered.
A minute or two later, another scream filled the room as Baby Sloan Two came into the world.
"It's another girl, Ads!" Meredith screamed, giving their second daughter to her parents.
Christina watched the look on Addison's face as she greeted the new baby.
"Hello baby girl," she whispered. "I'm your mummy, little one."
The same NICU nurse that took Baby Sloan One brought her back and took Baby Sloan Two to be cleaned up and weighed.
"Addie, they need names," Christina whispered, breaking the moment between Addison, Mark and the baby.
Nurse Parker brought the second baby back to her parents and laid her in Addison's other arm.
"Names, Ads," Christina reminded again.
Addison and Mark sighed, then looked from Meredith to Christina and back again.
"In honour of you two," Addie spoke softly, "I rename Baby Sloan One as Arizona Meredith Sloan; and Baby Sloan Two as Atlanta Christina Sloan."
Meredith and Christina beamed, and hugged over Christina's swollen belly.
"And I name you two their godmothers," Mark added, not moving his eyes from the twins. "Atlanta and Arizona's godfathers are to be George and Preston, as well."
Christina looked down into the eyes of her newborn son, and understood exactly why Addison was so smitten with the twins the day they were born. One look into her son's eyes, and she turned to jelly for eternity.
"Chris, he needs a name," Preston gently urged from behind her.
"Adam," she whispered. "Adam Preston Christopher Burke."
Preston gasped as his wife gave their son the most beautiful name, and then turned to kiss him. It was these moments she truly treasured.
Well, there is Christina's input, the birth of Addison's twins, and the birth of Adam. I hope you like Bailey. She was named after the Nazi because Miranda Bailey sees a lot of herself in this 'intern' and influences Christina a lot. So, Miranda is baby Bailey's godmother, and the new baby needs a name. Any suggestions, because the sex hasn't been chosen yet and I need some names!
