"Lexie! Hurry up or we'll be late!"

"Can you just come in here and help me with my zipper please?"

Mark sighed, they had to leave within the next few minutes or they would most definitely be late. As mark walked into their shared bedroom he stopped as soon as he saw Lexie. She was lying on the bed, with nothing to zip up on. She was only on some black lace underwear Mark had bought her last valentine's day. He had been looking forward to her wearing it, but not right now. He was always surprised with the way Lexie acted and he didn't think that would ever change, when you first meet her you assume she's just a hyperactive person who doesn't shut up, but behind closed doors she basically just wanted to have sex all the time. Normally Mark wouldn't be opposed to this, but this was something he actually didn't want to be late for.

"Lexie, you look amazing as usual but we can't be late for our own rehearsal dinner, and I will not let you seduce me out of it!" Lexie was so excited for the wedding but she didn't see the point in the rehearsal dinner, she knew how weddings worked and she knew who was coming so why did they have to spend the night before her wedding stuffed up in some restaurant when she could be spending it with her soon to be husband. Personally for her that sounded far more appealing.

"But I got all dressed up."

"You mean dressed down! Please?"

Whenever Mark gave her his look she knew she couldn't say no, normally the underwear thing worked on him, but Mark was a very traditional wedding guy. Lexie never would have expected that the first time she met him, but after they broke up twice because Mark wanted a family and she wasn't ready, she knew that when they got married everything would have to be perfect. They had to write their own vows and everything, Lexie kept telling Mark she had no idea what she was going to say, but he just kept telling her to say something along the lines of what she told him the night before they got back together. But that wasn't a promise or a vow; it was a declaration of love that she had to get out of her system before she exploded. Lexie wasn't good with words, she got nervous and either started rambling or stuttering and she did not want to do either of those things at the wedding.

"Fine, I'll get dressed. But you're missing out big time."

"I'm pretty sure we can get you back down to this when the dinner is over."

Mark kissed her on the back of the neck and Lexie smiled.

"I'm sure we will."

Lexie wanted to stay so desperately and kiss him but she knew as soon as she turned around to do so he would be sending her to get dressed anyway so it didn't really make much difference.

"So what should I wear?"

"Lex, how do you not know what you're going to wear?"

"I wasn't planning to go, but you're stupid smile persuaded me."

"Well I am a charmer."

"You're also very modest." Lexie giggled as Mark pushed past her to get to the closet, he was always surprised at the amount of clothes she owned, considering she was in scrubs most the time, and when she wasn't she was in bed with him. Or looking after Sofia, but she didn't exactly need evening dresses on those occasions.

"How about this one?"

"I'm always impressed by your dress sense Dr Sloan." Mark winked at her as she pulled the dress over her head. Lexie had said she was going to double barrel her name, as there was already a Dr Sloan and a Dr Grey at Mercy West so they did not need another one either, so she would just be the combination of the two. Mark had laughed when she'd said that, because there had been more than just one Dr Grey, and there would probably be more, if the plan Derek had for Zola was going to go his way.

"Ok, I'm ready."

...

As Lexie and Mark pulled up to the restaurant where the rehearsal dinner was being hosted, Mark looked at his watch and Lexie laughed at him.

"What, I don't want to be late."

"It's ok to be fashionably late, besides, it's our dinner."

"Ok."

They got out the car and Lexie linked her arm with Mark's as they walked up the steps of the restaurant, just before they went through the door Lexie stopped him and turned to face him.

"I know I'm reluctant to go to this dinner, but I just wanted to remind you that it's not because of you, you are the only reason I am even here, I just don't normally do rehearsal, but I love you so I'm here."

"I know Lexie, you've told me a thousand times."

"I just don't want you to hate me."

"I could never hate you, you're Little Grey."

"I thought we agreed you weren't calling me that anymore." Mark laughed and wrapped his arm around her waist as he pulled her inside, she was always going to be Little Grey to him, this amazing girl who blew him away with her intelligence, her confidence and her grace. He was impressed by her every single day, and he hoped that wouldn't change for their life together.

As the couple walked into the function room where it was being held they were greeted by the people they loved, Mark watched Lexie smile as Meredith came up and hugged her and wished her congratulations, he knew she would enjoy it once she was here.

"Ok, we should start now."

"April, we got here two seconds ago give me a minute."

"As your maid of honour, I have to say that you were also late and we need to finish in time."

"April-"

"Please?" Lexie sighed but nodded reluctantly. April practically jumped with joy as she announced for everyone to take their seats. She had been so surprised when Lexie had asked her to be her maid of honour, as she had assumed it would be Meredith. Lexie had told her that as much as she loved Meredith and would like her to be her maid of honour; she didn't exactly think she was a wedding person, considering she got married in city hall after being married on a post-it for a while.

"I'd like to welcome you all here today to celebrate Mark and Lexie. Now I know this is only a rehearsal dinner and Lexie said I wasn't allowed to get soppy, but I would just like to say here's to the happy couple, you are inspiring, and I'm sure we all want a love like Mark and Lexie." Lexie wasn't usually the one for speeches but she smiled as April lifted her glass to her, at the same time Mark leant over and kissed her on the cheek whilst putting his hand on her knee, but also whispering in her ear.

"Only a few more hours and then you might never be able to wear the dress again." Lexie slapped his hand off her leg but she blushed with the thought of her and Mark once they were home. She saw Callie give Mark a look as he leant back in his chair. Lexie assumed it was because as Callie was all for the inappropriate behaviour, she just didn't appreciate it when their daughter was just a few seats down.

"Behave Mark."

"I'm always good Torres, you know that." He winked at Lexie as he said this but Lexie was distracted my Sofia on the other side of Callie, she was sitting there with a huge smile on her face, at four Sofia was practically a genius, well according to Arizona anyway. But Lexie believed it, soon Sofia would have four parents and to be honest Lexie could not wait. When Mark had first told her about Callie being pregnant Lexie had broken up with him because she was nowhere near ready for a family, but Sofia was the sweetest girl on the planet and she was marrying Mark tomorrow, so it didn't matter what she had said then, just what she thought now.

The night went on and on, until right before the end when they had all eaten practically everything in the restaurant and people were starting to get tired, April announced it was probably time everyone went home. Before people started to leave Mark stood up and tapped on the side of his now empty champagne glass.

"I know I promised Lexie I wouldn't make a speech tonight because I had one tomorrow, but I can't now. This is my rehearsal dinner for my wedding to the most amazing woman on the planet so I will not shut up about it. I am so lucky. I have a great job, great friends and a great family. And I am so pleased to be adding another member to our family, Lexie has already been so good to Sofia and to all the people I love, and I will spend the rest of my life being good to her and proving to her that she is the love of my life, and the perfect third mother for Sofia. We will start our own family and Sofia can have as many brothers and sisters as she'd like. I know that Lexie is my soul mate, ever since she practically shouted it to me outside the hospital. So here's to Lexie, my best friend and my soul mate. I love you, and I cannot wait to call you my wife."

Mark looked down at Lexie and noticed the tears in her eyes, he pulled her up and kissed her. Lexie wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled away.

"I love you Mark Sloan."

Shall I continue to the wedding or stop? Any suggestions or reviews would be appreciated.
