Chapter 2

You're My Home

Lexie POV

"My name is Lexie Grey, and six weeks ago I was in a plane crash." I took a deep breath after I said this. "I suffered a broken leg and arm and I am almost completely healed." I looked at Mark when I said this and he smiled. It had been two months since the plane crash, and we were still trying to pick up the pieces.

We all had suffered injuries, Derek a broken hand and nerve damage, Cristina had multiple cuts and gashes and her PTSD had kicked in. Mark had broken ribs and Arizona had lost one of her legs. Meredith had only a few scrapes and bruises, she was definitely the luckiest out of all of us and she knew it.

After we returned, Dr. Hunt said that we all needed to go through therapy in order to come back to the hospital. Dr. Hunt made us go to Dr. Marshall up on psych and I hated every minute of it. Everyone else had completed there sessions but because I had been committed previously I had to do extra sessions. This would be my last session, and Mark had offered to come with me.

"Since we've first started, you've come so far Lexie. Do you agree?" Dr. Marshall. I had gotten pretty lucky with Dr. Marshall I had to admit. She wasn't an annoying trauma counselor, she understood how I felt and listened to me and let me figure out everything on my own. She gave me advice and helped me heal. I owed her a lot.

"Yes. I feel a lot more comfortable saying that now. Before, I hated even thinking about the crash, let alone speaking about it. It was all I thought about and it was driving me crazy. I feel good about letting it all out now." I smiled confidently. I really did feel a whole lot better now.

"Well Lexie, I think were done here now." Dr. Marshall smiled as she stood up. "If you ever need anything, you know where to find me!" She gave me and Mark hugs and then walked us to the door. We thanked her and headed into the elevator.

"So how does it feel?" Mark laughed. I jumped in his arms and gave him a sweet kiss. "Amazing!" I laughed. It was the first time we had laughed together in awhile and it was exhilarating.

"So what should we do now, we have the rest of the day off." He gave me the sexy McSteamy smile and I knew what was going through his head. I rolled my eyes.

"Mark, remember what Callie said? No sex for another week." He pouted like a puppy dog like that. "I was thinking we could move all my stuff into your apartment?" I said and his expression changed.

"Let's go." He added as the elevator opened and we went headed towards Meredith's.

It took us 4 hours to get all my stuff packed up in my bedroom. Before we had left, I took one last look around because I would never spend another night in here again. "Damn Lex, how much crap do you really need?" Mark said as he carried the last two boxes into the apartment. Mark's apartment looked like a complete mess. My clothes were everywhere and so were all my other personal belongings.

"Well maybe if you had more space, I would have more room to put all of my stuff." I answered while rolling my eyes. He stopped what he was doing and looked at me seriously.

"Let's go house hunting tomorrow then." He said earnestly. I almost dropped the lamp I was holding when he said that. Was he serious? "Are you serious?" I asked shocked.

"Yeah, of course. You said so yourself, we need more space. Actually, I'm going to talk to Derek tomorrow and see if he wants to sell me part of his land. We could build a huge house and you'd be near your sister and the kids would have a blast running around everyday." He said with a twinkle in his eye. I knew Mark wanted more kids, he made it loud and clear but I wanted to wait to have them until I was finished residency, which was less then a year away.

"That would be great, but Mark I think we need to talk about some things before we make any decisions. I have some stuff I want to say."

"Okay, I'll start making dinner and you can sit on the bar stool and tell me. Deal?" He flashed his smile. I could not cook shit, excuse my French. I was the worst cook in the history of bad cooks. Of course, Mark being McSteamy, was awesome at it. He was already perfect at everything, extremely sexy and he could cook. I am the luckiest woman alive.

"Deal." I said as he turned on the stove and gathered ingredients together. "I have a lot to get off my chest so I'm just going to say it. When I told you I loved you when you were with Julia, I said it because I wanted you to change your mind and choose me. I thought you loved her and when I heard you guys were going to start a family, I felt like my world was crashing down. It was one of the worst things I had ever heard, not because I didn't like Julia, but because I wanted to be her. I wanted to marry you. I wanted to be the one you came home to every night. I wanted to be the one that gave you a family and live in a dream house with you. When you told me how you felt at the airport, I was so shocked that you still loved me. That you still wanted me after all this time, and after everything that had happened."

"Of course I loved you Lexie, I always have and I always will." He smiled starting to make the pasta.

"Let me finish. Now that I have you back it feels amazing and I don't want to screw up. I want to finish my residency and I want to get married, before we start thinking about having kids. I know you want more kids and I want nothing more to make you happy, but I want to do it the traditional way. Having my career running, having a big white wedding, buying a house and then having kids. I want to be married to you really bad but I want to wait until I take my boards." I finally looked at him to see his expression. He was staring at me intensely.

"Lexie, I will wait as long as I have to, to make you my wife and the mother of my children." He said in a silky voice. He made my heart melt with everything he said. He smiled, "Plus, I haven't even asked you to marry me yet. Don't start putting words in my mouth." He winked. I laughed and we carried on casual conversation all throughout dinner.

I was just getting out of the shower when someone started banging on the front door. I hurriedly wrapped my towel around me as Mark answered the door.

"Callie? Is everything okay? Is Sofia hurt? Where is she?" Mark asked panicked. I through on one of Mark's t-shirts and boxers and walked into the living room to find Callie sobbing.

"She's sleeping Mark. I need you to take Sofia. I mean she needs to sleep here every night. Arizona flipped out again tonight and this time in front of her. It scared her Mark, she started crying and asking for you. I think for now it's best if you have her full time. I know Lexie just moved in and she ran away last time one of your kids showed up but this is your daughter Mark and she needs you." Callie finished as Mark held open his arms for her and she went to him.

"Shh… It's okay. Of course she's staying here Callie." He hugged her and looked up at me.

"Callie, I know last time I ran away, but this time I'm staying. I know Sofia is important to Mark, and that means she important to me. This will give me the chance to get to know her and I can learn how to be motherly. I would never ask Mark to have to choose again, so of course she is staying here." I said confidently.

They both looked up at me. " I'll go get her and bring her in here. Where's Arizona?" Mark said smiling at me.

"She locked herself in the bathroom." Callie said in low voice. She walked over to me then and wrapped me in her arms. "Thank you." She whispered. Mark came back in a minute later with the baby in his arms. He walked into her bedroom and put her in her crib.

"I'm going to go check on Arizona. I'll come by in the morning." Callie said sadly before walking back to her apartment. Sofia started crying and Mark walked in to get her. He came back in whispering sweet nothings in her ear and she snuggled into him contently.

I realized that moment that Mark was an amazing dad to Sofia. Seeing him with her made me want to be a mom, and I wanted to be Sofia's third mom to. I was ready to start my new life and I couldn't wait for my boards because that meant I was one step closer to being Mrs. Mark Sloane.
