Summary: A what if after 6x11 as if Lexie didn't sleep with Alex. Takes place the morning after the break-up.
SCENE: MARK'S APARTMENT
(Mark walks to the door when he hears a knock, he opens the door to reveal Lexie.)
Lexie: I just came for the rest of my stuff.
(She walks past him and Mark follows her to the bedroom.)
Mark: Lex, can we please just talk about this?
Lexie: We already did, I made my feelings clear and so did you.
Mark: No I didn't, I don't want you to leave Lex, I don't want this to be over.
Lexie: Not everything is about what you want Mark. What am I supposed to do, stay here and have you make all of the decisions about how I'm going to live my life?
Mark: She's my daughter, Lex.
Lexie: Damn it Mark, I know that. And I'm proud of you for wanting to do right by your daughter and grandchild, but at the same time I don't want to be an afterthought. I can't be with someone who asks me to move in with them but then doesn't ask my opinion on issues that involve our lives! Not just mine or yours but ours! That's the way it is supposed to be, but that's not the way it's going to be. You wanted a family Mark but I thought I was your family, but clearly that wasn't enough for you. I'm all for adding to that family Mark but you're not. You made a choice, I wasn't asking you to choose between one or the other, but you made it clear that it was going to be either Sloan, the baby and you or just you and me. It couldn't be both. You made it clear what you chose. Sloan and the baby fit in but I don't fit in at all. I've been feeling invisible for weeks and I'm sick of it. I don't want this to be over Mark, but I don't want to be left out to dry either.
(She tries to move over to the dresser but Mark stops her by getting in front of her and putting his arms around her into a hug.)
Lexie: Mark, don't make this harder.
Mark: I'm not letting you go.
Lexie: Mark-
Mark: I took you for granted, I'm so sorry for that. I got so excited about Sloan and the baby that I didn't prioritize. I want Sloan, the baby, and you. You fit in Lex, you do, you are my family, I know that's hard to believe but it's true. I want us to fix this, I'll do anything I can to make that happen.
Lexie: How are we supposed to do that Mark? You already made all of these promises to Sloan about when the baby's born, you can't undo that.
Mark: We can figure it out, I want your opinion from now on, I do. Co-come to LA with us, we can use that time to figure it out, and I want us to figure it out, more than anything, I can't lose you Lex.
Lexie: (Sighing) Okay, I'll give it a try but I'm not promising anything.
Mark: (Kissing her head.) Thank you.
A/N: I know it's shorter than most of my chapters but I just wanted to give you an idea where I want to take this story. Let me know if I ever sound like a broken record in my fics. Like I've said before there are just so many ways their storyline could've gone. I hope you like it and let me know if I should continue.
