Chapter 5

SCENE: DR. BAILEY'S OFFICE A MONTH LATER

(Miranda is doing paperwork in her office with her son in his stroller next to her when there's a knock on the door.)

Miranda: Come in.

(The door opens and Lexie walks in pushing Aiden in his stroller.)

Lexie: Dr. Bailey, I have a problem.

Miranda: What would that be Dr.-

(She stops when she looks up and sees Aiden.)

Miranda: Who is that?

Lexie: This is my son Aiden.

Miranda: I assume your problem is the daycare being closed today?

Lexie: Yeah, I guess you would know that. Um, I don't know how to handle this. I can't leave him with anyone. My Mom's gone my Dad can barely stay sober long enough to form a sentence. My sister Molly doesn't live in Seattle, and you know about my other sister. I tried to ask Dr. Yang what to do but her only answer was "Use birth control."

Miranda: That sounds like Dr. Yang. May I ask about the father, what's his story?

Lexie: He's in surgery all morning.

Miranda: Surgery where? What's wrong with him?

Lexie: No, he's not getting the surgery, he's a surgeon, uh at this hospital.

Miranda: Really? Don't tell me Dr. Shepherd has gotten a little too familiar with the Grey family.

Lexie: Oh god no, no not Dr. Shepherd, Aiden's father is Dr. Sloan.

Miranda: Dr. Sloan? Dr. Mark Sloan? I did not know he had a child.

Lexie: Well, he didn't either until a month ago. See, we hooked up about a year and a half ago which I swear I never do, ever. So anyway, I didn't see him again until I got here last month.

Miranda: Well okay then, you can do paperwork this morning until Dr. Sloan gets out of surgery and then you may go to rounds while Dr. Sloan watches the child, he has a light case load today.

Lexie: Okay, that sounds good. Thank you Dr. Bailey.

(Lexie turns the stroller around a walks out of the room.)

Miranda: Always knew someday Sloan would have a kid coming through here.

LATER IN THE PIT

(Lexie is holding a crying Aiden.)

Lexie: Sh, it's okay baby, come on, let's be Mommy's big boy.

(Cristina marches up to her.)

Cristina: Three, calm that baby down. Rounds are in 15 minutes and I didn't invite any babies.

Lexie: I'm sorry Dr. Yang but my son doesn't have an off switch, he cries when he's upset or needs something, the only thing I can do is be there for him. And his Dad will be here in a minute so he can watch him while I'm at rounds.

Cristina: Good.

(Lexie continues to try to calm Aiden down when Mark walks up to them.)

Mark: Hey, hey, what's the problem?

Cristina: I know it's so—

Mark: Come to Daddy, buddy.

(He takes Aiden into his arms and Aiden immediately stops crying.)

Lexie: Oh great, is that the thanks I get for carrying you for nine months. Hm. (She tickles Aiden and he giggles.)

Mark: Come on, he loves you, he just missed his Daddy.

(They look over at Cristina who has a shocked look on her face.)

Mark: Is there a problem Dr. Yang?

Cristina: N-No, I gotta go, uh, check on a patient. 12 minutes until rounds Three.

(Cristina walks away.)

Mark: (Chuckling) This will be around the hospital within the hour.

Lexie: Yeah. (Laughs)

A FEW MINUTES LATER IN THE CAFETERIA

(Alex, Izzie, Meredith and George are eating lunch when Cristina rushes over and sits down.)

Cristina: You will never believe this. Three's baby is McSteamy's, McSteamy has a McBaby.

Izzie: Three?: Lexie has a baby?

(Everyone looks at Meredith.)

Meredith: Well, don't look at me, how should I know?

George: Maybe because she's your sister.

Meredith: Half-sister.

Cristina: Hello? Is anyone listening to the highlight of my story. Three's baby is McSteamy's. Three at some point had sex with McSteamy.

Alex: We know how babies are made Cristina.

Izzie: I've got to see this.

George: Why?

Izzie: Because maybe if I see there's a soft side to Dr. Sloan it might lessen my urge to punch him everytime he tells me to get him coffee.

(Izzie gets up and walks towards the exit. A second later everyone gets up and follows her.)

A FEW MINUTES LATER AT THE ATTENDING'S LOUNGE

(The group walks up to the entrance and stands there looking at Mark who is holding Aiden on his lap feeding him a bottle.)

Izzie: (Whispering) Oh my god, he's like a mini Sloan. Wait, what's his name?

Cristina: (Whispering) Shoot, Three told me that once but I blocked it out. It started with an A I know that.

Izzie: (Whispering) Adam?

George: (Whispering) Aaron?

Meredith: (Whispering) Alan?

Alex: (Whispering) Andy?

Mark: His name is Aiden, if you guys want to be stealth in the future you might want to whisper quieter. And Dr. Grey if you're so interested in your nephew you should also develop an interest in his mother.

(They hear a throat clear. The group turns around to find Lexie standing there.)

Lexie: Dr. Yang, I was sent to find you, rounds were supposed to start five minutes ago. And Meredith, I have to agree with what Dr. Sloan said. If you want to be apart of your nephew's life you'll have to be a part of my life.

(Lexie walks away.)

Mark: (To Aiden) Y'know buddy, people around here should find different entertainment.

A/N: There you go, chapter 5, I wanted to use this chapter as a way for the whole gang to find out. There will be more Slexie moments in the future. Also let me know if you think I'm writing Cristina's character too cold, if so I'll try to improve in the future. Let me know what you think.
