Meredith stood by Lexie's side, unable to say anything. Cristina had quickly jumped in to help having not bother to change. But when Derek went to try to help, Meredith grabbed his arm, implying for him to stay for a few moments. She needed someone to lean on in this moment. Unable to lean on her best friend who was helping her sister, she wanted to lean on Derek.
"Meredith, Derek needs to look at her, she came in unconscious." Mark told her as he made eye contact with Meredith. Meredith was the only person Mark made eye contact with since Lexie had been brought in. He was oblivious to everything around him. Meredith let go over Derek's arm and let him look at her. "Get a head ct." Derek said to Cristina a few moments later. As they wheeled her out Mark started to follow, "Dr. Sloan," he stopped in his tracks and turned around, "Yes, Dr. Stevens," Mark spoke his voice had the hint of unpleased to it. He wanted to follow Lexie and Meredith, but he had an obligation to do his job.
Mark looked at the patient and let out an internal sigh. "Dr. Stevens here will get you prep and then we will be getting you to surgery right away." Mark told the patient and then left the patient to find out about Lexie. But he couldn't find her all the places where they had the CT scan; the anger was building up in him. "Dr. Sloan." Someone called his name. "What?" He retorted and when he turned around he saw one of Dr. Stevens' interns. "The patient is being wheeled into the OR. As Mark made his way to OR to scrub in he saw Bailey. "Dr. Bailey. I would like to be updated on Lexie, please?" Mark asked Bailey, and for a minute in time she taken back that Mark Sloan, had said pleased. "Will do Dr. Sloan." Bailey replied as they both continued into the direction they were heading.
Few hours later, Mark was scrubbing back out as his surgery was over. Although he never forgot about Lexie while he was operating it-helped calm him down a little. Mark was meet by Derek as he left the scrub room. "She's doing good." Derek immediately told Mark, knowing Mark all to well Derek knew Mark would think something was wrong. "Meredith's in there right now." Derek told Mark but after he told him that there was long pause from Derek. "What is it Derek?" Mark asked as Derek looked at Mark. "There was a little something in the scans. Nothing to worry about yet, but I'm keeping her over night." Derek said to Mark. Mark quickly brushed passed him. "Mark." Derek shouted as he went after him. "Does she know Derek?" Mark asked as he turned around to face Derek. "Meredith's is telling her." Derek replied as the two headed to Lexie's room.
"Lexie," Meredith said to her half sister. Lexie didn't say anything to Meredith but just simply looked at her. "Derek wants to keep you here over night. There was something in your scans. But nothing to worry about." Meredith informed Lexie as she tried to keep her sister calm. "Mark?" Lexie asked her sister, but just saying his name could hold different meanings. "Mark is in surgery, Derek is going to tell him when he is out of surgery." Meredith informed Lexie having not known that Mark finished his surgery and the two were already on their way to the room. "Molly?" Lexie had asked her sister about their other sister. Lexie didn't bother to mention their father's name. After the time he had come to the hospital drunk and Meredith informed her all the past that happened and when he smacked her Lexie wasn't too kin on it. "I'm trying to reach her." Meredith said as the guys walked in.
Meredith stayed by Lexie's side as Mark went over to her other side. There was silence that filled the room. As Derek stood directly across from Lexie leaning his back against the wall; Derek and Meredith just watched Lexie and Mark interact with each other. They've seen them over the months with each other but a moment like this was just something on another level. It was a moment that if anyone ever doubted them as a couple this would prove that person wrong.
"I'll guess I'll be stroking your hair now." Mark said not bothering to care that Derek and Meredith would hear and probably ask questions. Neither of them bother to tell them that Lexie was the one that broke Mark's penis, sure questions might be asked from this but they both knew now wasn't the time. Lexie let out a small laugh, but her laugh subsided when she winced in pain from the laughing. "Sorry." Mark spoke as she saw her wince in pain from laughing. "I'm glad you remember, I would want someone to do that for me." Lexie said to him, as they both seemed to forget that Meredith and Derek were there.
"What are you two going on about?" Meredith asked curiously as she let her eyes travel to Mark and Lexie. "Nothing," they both replied to her together. Lexie looked at Mark and then Derek and finally Meredith. Lexie moved herself a little bit in a better position on the bed. Shutting her eyes tightly as winced in pain. Derek, Meredith, and Mark all shared a look as they say Lexie wince as she moved. "Lexie?" Derek spoke her name. "It hurts." Lexie said as she finished getting comfortable or as comfortable as she could be. "If the pain gets any worse where it's unbearable we will give you some morphine." Derek said, as eyes seemed to turn to Meredith.
There was confused look on Lexie's face as she saw Derek and Mark look at Meredith. "Why are you looking at Meredith?" Lexie asked. The memory of when Meredith had to have her appendicitis removed and she was "high" on morphine. "Just a trip of memory lane we don't need to go down." Meredith said as she shot them both a nasty look. Lexie didn't press on about it at hearing Meredith's tone and look she gave them.
A pager went off and they all scrambled to look at their pagers. "I have to go. Lexie, I'll check back in on you later." Derek said to her as he moved to Meredith and gave her a kiss n the cheek. Derek then left the room and Meredith followed a few minutes later, leaving just Mark and Lexie in the room. "Mark." Lexie spoke his name, "Yes, Lexie," Mark said he couldn't help but stand to see her like this. He wanted to climb in the bed with her just like she did after he had his surgery but he feared of hurting her or causing her more pain and he didn't want that. "I'm hungry and since we didn't have our breakfast together, I'm thinking lunch together?" Lexie said to him and it was just on cue that her stomach growled a little. "Lunch in bed, it is. Anything in particular you want?" Mark asked her but she simply shook her head no. "I'll be back soon Lexie." Mark said as he let go of her hand and gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead.
