All In Part 2
She leant back, eyeing him seriously. "This is real Mark. This has to work. I won't make it again if it doesn't." He nodded. "I want it all with you all. A house, marriage, a baby. I want it all. And I just want you."
His grin made her heart flutter. "All in?"
"All in."
His eyes watched her as she ran around the hallways with an amused smirk. She always seemed so flustered on the outside but on the inside he knew how well she was taking everything in. That damned photographic mind. He mused to himself. His smirk widened when her eyes caught his bringing about that mesmerising smile of hers. She was finally his again.
And only they knew it.
Both had agreed to keep it between themselves after they spent the night together on Meredith's couch. Nothing happened between the two except for a conversation that lasted the entire night. He had snuck out early before Derek awoke with Zola and since then they had been sneaking around just like they had when 'little Sloan' was ordered to stay away from 'little Grey.' It was exciting for them but Mark was beginning to wish he could talk to Callie or Derek about his love for her. Soon. He thought, soon they would tell people. After all, he hadn't even told anyone that he and Julia split up.
"Doctor Sloan, I have those lab results for you..." Avery tried waving the piece of paper in front of Mark's face. "Doctor...Sloan?" Avery's eyes followed Mark's line of sight and rolled his eyes when they too landed on Lexie. "How's Julia?" Jackson's eyebrow raised as Mark finally turned away from his secret girlfriend.
"Avery!" Mark used his booming 'mentor' voice. "Where are those lab results I asked you to get..." he glanced at the Rolex on his wrist. "Two hours ago!" Jackson eyed his teacher curiously before finally handing over the sheet. "Good, let's move!" With one lingering glance back towards Lexie he led the younger surgeon away towards their patient, with Jackson's suspicions growing by the second.

"Where were you last night?" Lexie glanced up from her fruit bowl to look at her sister.
"Here," she replied a little too quickly. Meredith smirked as she raised her eyebrows unbelieving her.
"Of course you did..." Lexie turned back to her fruit. "Any big cases come in?" Lexie shook her head, refusing to look at Meredith. "You know I can tell when you're lying." Lexie's eyes finally looked up and her mouth gaped a little.
"I'm not lying!"
"Oh she's lying," Cristina took the final seat at the small table. "What are you lying about?" Lexie's eyes narrowed on Cristina a little.
"That she stayed here last night."
"Oooh," Cristina stole a fry off of Meredith's plate. "Who did you stay with?!"
Rolling her eyes Lexie stood from her seat. "I stayed here all night." She stated bluntly, relishing in the fact that she wasn't exactly lying per se. She did stay in the hospital all night.
Just in an on call room.
With the door knocked.
With Mark.
She could feel the women's eyes on her and could hear their giggles as she walked away from the table. It was beginning to get harder hiding her relationship with Mark. She wondered if and when the right time would be to tell everyone. Would people care? Probably. Especially Callie. Callie loved Julia and...tolerated Lexie. Everyone knew that Mark wanted a life with someone, a baby, a marriage, a home. Everyone knew Julia wanted to give Mark all of those things. They also knew Lexie didn't.
Even though she did now. But would they believe her? Or would they just think she was lonely and jealous a la baseball to the breast again? She wondered if people believed she could snap her fingers and he would come running back to her? Or the more believable thing of him snapping his fingers and she would come running?
Probably.
"Hey, you okay?" His voice broke her from her reverie. Glancing around she frowned wondering how she ended up in the burn unit. Clearly he calls to your subconscious.
"I don't even know how I ended up here," she leant against the nurses' station, placing her head in her hands. "Does Callie like me?" Her eyes glanced to her right to read his facial expression. He gave nothing away.
"Of course she does." His frown made her heart swell. Damn he was just too good looking.
"No, not in a 'you're a nice person and will be a good doctor Lexie'." She put on a fake voice as she 'quoted'. "In a...I'm better than Julia kind of way." Mark sighed and placed his hand on her cheek before instantly removing it after realising that that was something he should not do.
"I thought we were passed this?" He questioned. "I love you Lex, I don't love Julia...never did, not in the way I love you at least."
"But Callie loved her. She thought you two were perfect."
"Why does it always come down to Callie?" Mark sighed again. Glancing around to ensure no one was around listening.
"She's your best friend Mark, you listen to her. She's the Cristina to your Meredith." Lexie pushed against the edge of the counter top.
"Yeah she's my best friend but you're my girlfriend Lex and she just wants me to be happy. You make me happy. More than happy," his fingers rested lightly on her own and she smiled.
"You make me happy too." His grin caused her heart to skip a beat for second. "I'm sorry for all of this; I'm just all in my head today."
"That's okay; this is us being in an adult relationship." He winked at her and this time she stopped breathing. Damn his hold on me. "Nice isn't it?"
"Very." She grinned and immediately wanted to shout about their relationship from the rooftops. The look on his face showed he felt the same.
"Hey, I have a crazy idea..."

He had stood in front of her many times. He had looked into her eyes as much as he possibly could. And he had held onto her hands as often as he humanly could.
This time though, doing all of those things were different. He noticed how her eyes glistened when they were glazed over with unshed tears. He noticed how her hands were shaking lightly, but gripped his harder than they ever had. He knew his eyes were too, slightly glazed and his hands gripped her own just as tight.
"I love you," her mouth mimed to him before she turned to the man on their left. He stood behind his large wooden desk, two pieces of paper turned towards them and two pens laying on the pieces.
"Did you want to say anything?" The man questioned, eyeing the clock behind their heads. Lexie shook her head no.
"I do," his response caused her eyes to meet his again. He smiled. "I'll make this quick. This moment...this moment...is quite easily, the happiest moment of my life. I honestly can't believe this is happening, that you want this...that you want me." Her small hands gave his a squeeze. "I love you little Grey, I've always loved you, and I will always love you. And this right now, is the start of the rest of our lives; we are finally getting our all in." The unshed tears in Lexie's brown eyes fell silently down her rosy cheeks. "I love you Lex." He shrugged as if it was the only thing he really had to say. And it was.
"I love you too Mark." She whispered. They simply stared at one another for a minute before the man cleared his throat to get back their attention.
"Shall we continue?" They nodded apologetically. "Do you..." he glanced down at the paper on his desk. "Mark Sloan, take this woman to be your wife?"
Mark nodded. "That's easy, I do."
"And do you..." he glanced down again. "Alexandria Grey take this man to be your husband?"
"I do." She grinned through the slow falling tears.
"Then I pronounce you husband and wife. Sign here." He pushed the pieces of paper towards them and they scrawled their signatures where needed. "Thank you." He nodded towards the door and they walked out holding hands.
Once the door slammed behind them, they smiled at each other and finally had their first kiss as husband and wife.

"Meredith!" Lexie rushed past nurses to reach her sister. "I have something I need to tell you. Where's Derek?" Lexie frowned as Meredith seemed to look past her whilst she appeared to ignore her. She followed Meredith's gaze and her mouth fell agape.
"Looks like Hunt's hired her," Meredith mused as Lexie gulped. Her eyes found Mark's as he rounded the corner of the corridor. His large Cheshire cat grin fell when he noticed Lexie's worried expression. She looked back to where Meredith was still looking and Mark followed suit. She watched him as his eyes widened and he looked as if he gulped.
"Ah Mark, did Julia tell you she was in the running for a job?" Owen Hunt questioned Mark when he noticed him stood there. Lexie watched the scene unfold as Julia appeared to smirk.
"Uh...no she did not." He glanced to Lexie as did Julia.
"I wanted it to be a surprise."
A little shorter I know but please give your thoughts. Hope you noticed the correlation between MerDer's actually wedding to Slexie's!
Reviews appreciated (:
