The Sloan Family (the remake)

Chapter 2

Welcome Home

Lexie was moving back to Seattle with her two kids after 5 years. She was going back to this city where everything had begin. She was going to go live next door to her sister and her three kids: Zola, Bailey and Ellis.

The twins were almost five now. It was time they went back. Mark would've probably forgot her by now and have a wife and a tons of mini-mes. That thought made Lexie sad but at the same time she wanted him to be happy.

Leslie was the oldest twin, she look exactly like her mother but she had this charming side that came from Mark, on the other side, Brian looked a lot like his father but, he didn't act like Lexie at all. Growing up, the twins had changed considerably. They went from the stage where they did everything together and against their mother, to the stage where they hated each other and didn't speak if the other was in the room and finally where they only cared about sugar.

Lexie had changed a lot too in these five years. She was definitely more mature, and she cared a lot less about herself. Everything she was doing was for her kids. But the changes weren't only in the inside. Her apparence had changed too. Shortly after the twins birth she had cut her hair at the level of her jaw, where they weren't able to reach them, she had also went trough a lot of color changes, but she was always coming back to blonde. Now her hair were blonde and shoulder length.

"Mommy, mommy!" Her youngest screamed.

Lexie ran to Brian's bedroom where she found him under a pile of clothes. She couldn't keep herself from giggling.

"I can't decide what to take with me."

"Oh, sweetie. You have to pack everything. Just put your clothes and your toys in the boxes I gave you this morning." She said, sitting down on her knees to help him pack.

"So we're not coming back?" He said sadly.

"No. We're going to live in Seattle where auntie Mer lives."

"But why?" Her daughter asked, walking in the room with her princess tiara on her head.

"Because mommy finished her job here and got an offer there." Lexie tried to explain to her children without giving them the real reason. "And auntie Mer need us. We're family and we are suppose to stick together. Okay?"

She was hoping her kids would buy that explanation.

"Now continue to pack, mommy has some things to take care of."

~< a month later >~

All the surgical staff was gathered at the main floor nurse station. The chief of surgery was giving her monthly announcement. Today was all about trying to help more at the pit.

"Now, before you all go work, I have a last announcement." Chief Bailey said. "As you know, we lost Derek Shepherd two years ago and the spot he occupied hadn't been filled since. Today I'm here to tell you that we have the pleasure to welcome back one of our old resident: Dr. Alexandra Grey or Little Grey as you might remember her, who is now an attending in neurosurgery. I expect you to welcome her as a full member of this hospital. That's all for today, now get back to work."

Everyone went back to the place they were assign. Lexie just stood there, next to her sister. She couldn't remember the last time she stood there. Dr. Pierce, the cardio surgeon, walked to them.

"Hi." She said. "I'm Maggie." She said shaking Lexie's hand

Lexie knew who Maggie was. She was Meredith half-sister from her mother's side. She smiled at the woman. Knowing right away that she wasn't dark and twisty like Meredith was. She knew they would probably become friends.
