A.N.: This section assumes that Rodney's sister is like the character from "McKay and Mrs. Miller," but ignores the ignores the actual plot that occurs in the episode.

Five Years Later

"Meredith, I never expected you to show up on my doorstep with a munchkin of your own."

They watch their children play together on the front lawn.

"Well, I never imagined you in domestic bliss either." Rodney replies with the usual amount of sarcasm.

"I can't imagine what Mom and Dad said about me." She sighs.

"No, it was never very pleasant."

"And you're the one that turned out to be gay." Jeanie laughs at the irony.

"I'm not gay." Despite how his relationship with Radek has grown, he still refuses to concede this point.

"You just happen to be in a relationship with another man."

"Yep," Rodney replies wholeheartedly.

"Wow! They really got to you."

"Could I get some more lemonade?" Rodney points to his glass, hoping that it's enough of a distraction.

Jeanie isn't actually foreign to this trick and refuses to let the conversation be waylaid. "No, we're having a conversation."

"You are—I'm just thirsty."

"Rodney, I don't want to fight."

"Then leave it alone."

"You can't deny who you are."

"I don't really see it that way."

"Meredith, would you care to explain then please?"

Rodney really doesn't like being put on the spot like this, but his lemonade trick hadn't worked the first time. "I'm in love with Radek and since the whole gender switching idea didn't go over so well—I'm stuck with him as he is."

"And this doesn't bother Radek?"

"No—not that it's any of your business." The only part that had bothered Radek was the sex part—and well they had obviously fixed that—without surgery--eventually.

Jeanie still looks concerned that their parents have brainwashed Rodney into denying part of himself, but lets the matter drop for now.

"So when do I get to meet this Radek of yours?"

"That may be difficult. You see the um…lab that we work at…the next person in charge tends to do stupid things without supervision."

"Where is this lab? You haven't published in years."

"It's classified."

"Really?"

"No, I'm just making that up because I don't like to talk about my work."

Jeanie laughs.
