Hello, my dear readers.
I know, I know. I'm supposed to write chapter 13 of Bless the rains. And it's coming, trust me.
I've had this new idea for a while and now I just couldn't help myself. I needed to start this one.
Hope you like this prologue. I'm excited to write this story and I hope you will like it as much :)
The title is from the song "Somewhere only we know" by Keane. I read the lyrics and in my opinion, it fits this story. Check the lyrics out and listen to the song :)
Make sure to leave a review! Enjoy!
Screams, tears and pain.
That's how Lexie Grey would sum up the past year. A flight trip to Boise, Idaho to perform a surgery with 5 of her colleagues turned into a nightmare when the plane suddenly crashed. Luckily, everyone got out of it alive. However, there had been a touch and go for both her and Mark. One good thing came out of that horrible accident, though; Her and Mark got back together.
The past year and a half hadn't been all bad, of course. After almost 8 months of recovery, Mark had proposed and they got married. And now, a week after they got back from their honeymoon, Lexie was standing in the bathroom, impatiently awaiting the results of a test she deep down already knew the answer of.
She took a deep breath and looked up at her reflection in the mirror. She looked different, yet the same. Her hair was now shorter. The decision to make a radical change came quickly after she was released from the hospital and felt like she needed a change, a new start. And she loved her new hair style. It was shoulder long and a bit chopped.
Her admiration of herself was interrupted when the timer alarm on her phone went off, indicating that 3 minutes had passed. As she turned the alarm off and put the phone away, she felt a rush of nervousness shoot through her body. I guess that's to be expected. She thought to herself. Lexie closed her eyes and gently grabbed the test. After taking a breath and counting to three, she opened her eyes and turned the test towards her. She quickly scanned over the result. And then again, just to be sure.
And sure enough, her suspicions and what she already knew were now confirmed.
Pregnant.
A warm smile covered her face. She was pregnant. Her and Mark were gonna have a baby.
"Oh my God." She whispered as she put the test back down and looked up at her reflection in the mirror again. Suddenly, she looked different. Maybe she was just imagining it. Her hand subconsciously traveled to rest on her lower abdomen. A baby. A baby was growing in her uterus.
Lexie Grey was gonna have a baby with Mark Sloan and she couldn't be happier.
And she couldn't wait to tell him the good news.

The past year had been rough for Mark Sloan.
The plane crash had changed his life completely. Seeing Lexie laying crushed under that piece of plane really got him to realize what really is important in life. Luckily they managed to save her and they all got home alive. The recovery for both of them had been really long and he had spent about a month in a coma. Julia came to visit him in the hospital while he was awake and the first thing he did was to break up and apologize. He belonged with Lexie, they were meant to be. He still thought about how insane it was that he needed a plane crash to realize that Lexie Grey truly was the love of his life.
Things had been going great so far.
And then it started to happen. Every now and then since right before the wedding, he would get sharp pains in the abdomen. It would be over in a few minutes, but it hurt like hell. First, it would happen occasionally, not very often. But now it was more and more often. During the honeymoon, the pain became more frequent and it was hard to not show Lexie.
So as soon as they got home and were back to work, Mark confined in Dr. Bailey who, with a concerned look, decided to check him out just in case. She'd run tests and yesterday they did a CT-scan along with a biopsy. Bailey ordered pretty much every test in the book just to rule out everything. Their first suspicions had been complications from his injuries from the plane crash, but Mark had a feeling that it wasn't that.
Mark had snuck out of the apartment early this morning, before Lexie even woke up. He claimed last night that he had an early shift. In reality, he was seeing Bailey to talk about the test results. Lying to Lexie was something he hated, but he didn't want to worry her. She'd worried enough this past year, she didn't need anything else to worry about. Not until there was anything to worry about, that is.
Since he was there early, he decided to make some pre-op notes for his surgeries today. And he needed something to distract him while he waited for Bailey. Don't worry about it until there is a reason to worry. He tried to convince himself. There might not even be a problem. Maybe you're just imagining. Phantom pains, kidney stones, gas. It could be something small and simple that antibiotics can cure.
"Dr. Sloan."
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Bailey call his name. Looking up from the chart he was currently writing in, he searched her face for an expression that could give anything away. Of course, it didn't. Miranda Bailey's poker face was the best.
"I have your test results."
