- Ronald? Joshua? – Cuddy says – How about Connor? –
- As long it's not James or Gregory, I'm fine with any name –
Cuddy laughs. It's December and now she is 14 weeks into her pregnancy. Cuddy never made this far with her other attempts. She took the amnio prenatal test, everything is fine. She is scared, nervous, excited and she knows is a boy.
- Lucas, you must have some name you like –
- I don't know, some names remind me certain people…Edward. We can call him Eddie or Ed –
- No, I had a boyfriend named Ed – Cuddy recalls
Lucas is driving Cuddy back to work. She insists in be treated por her Ob/Gyn doctor Kingston.
- I know! We should name him Douglas, and we can call him Doug – Lucas says
Cuddy frowns – You want to name our son Douglas Douglas? –
- No – Lucas parks outside the hospital – Douglas Cuddy –
- Alright – Cuddy doesn't even try to guess, so she just asks – Why? –
- If you think about it, Rachel will be only 3 years older. At some point they'll go to school together. Someone will ask Rachel 'Hey, Rachel. Is that your little brother?' And she'll answer yes. Then they'll ask her 'how come you guys have different last names' and Rachel will say 'He has dad, I'm adopted'. And people will make fun of them –
Cuddy stares.
- So if we use your last name, no problems – Lucas smiles – Rachel Cuddy and Douglas Cuddy, what do you think? –
-I'm not sure …I'll think about it –
- See you tonight –
Lucas kisses her goodbye.
- Please be on time – Cuddy tells him.
- Don't worry I'll be there – Lucas says - And think about it: Douglas Cuddy -
_________________________________________
- I want you to check on Mr. Sook and then I'll need his blood test results –
Cuddy tells a nurse.
- Yes, Dr Cuddy –
She walks to her office. – Any messages Jonah? –
- Yes, Dr. Tyler wants to see you in an hora and Dr. Benes is in your office –
- Anything else? –
- Yes, Bette Midler –
Cuddy smiles – Thank you Jonah –
- Are you here for lunch Amy? –
- I'm here to congratulate you – The other doctor smiles – You're pregnant –
- I was gonna tell you on lunch, how did you find out that fast? –
- You know nothing is secret in this hospital –
- Anyway, thank you –
Cuddy sits down.
- How did the boss take the news? –
- Dr. Tyler says is fine por him. I've told him 2 weeks atrás –
- Of course he is fine. Looking you pregnant and organizing a fundraising. Did you steal benefactors Princeton-Plainsboro? –
- I don't know what you are talking about. If some of my patients decided to follow me here, was on their own will –
Amy laughs – Sure…anyway, how is Lucas taking fatherhood? –
- He's thrilled – Cuddy tells her – He's smiling all the time, I know he'll be a good dad, I mean, he's great with Rachel…-
- I sense a "but" coming…-
- This morning he pretty much told me that he doesn't want to give the baby his surname –
- Did he say why? –
- Something about siblings with different last names being mock at school –
- I don't know about being mock, but my son and I have different names, when I got divorce, I change back to my maiden name – Amy says – Now it's a pain to travel, when I buy airplane tickets they ask for my son's birth certificate –
- I still think it's not right –
- Doctor Cuddy? – Jonah comes in – Dr. Tyler says he is free right now, if you can talk to him –
- Sure, I'll be right there –
- And Marcia cruz – Jonah tells her before he leaves.
- Wait…is Marcia cruz your patient now? – Dr. Amy Benes asks
- No, Jonah is telling me names of actress who had kids in her forties to make me feel better, not that I'm feeling bad, but you know –
- I see – Amy tells her – Geena Davis had twins at 48 –
- 48? Wow –

Kelly laughs. They are sitting outside the court room. Today is the trial against the man who killed Tony.

- But you're not mom – Cuddy replies – Lucas says that Rachel and the baby should have the same surname –
