Chapter 2

SCENE: SEATTLE GRACE-MERCY WEST AFTER SLOAN HAS GIVEN BIRTH

(Lexie walk out of the hospital to see Mark just standing there. She walks up to him.)

Lexie: What's going on?

Mark: Sloan's giving the baby to another family.

Lexie: I'm sorry, I know you wanted that baby.

Mark: And she's going back to New York to stay with her Mom.

Lexie: You've got to be kidding me.

Mark: Nope, turns out she only needed me when she was in trouble, she wanted charity, she didn't want a father.

Lexie: I'm sorry, really I am.

Mark: I just feel like an idiot, I gave up everything for her, I was devoted to being there for her and raising that baby and now I have nothing. It's all my fault.

Lexie: It's not your fault she used you Mark.

Mark: Maybe, but it is my fault that I let her use me.

Lexie: She's your daughter, you just wanted to be there for her.

Mark: But I let her just walk in and destroy my entire life. Now I have nothing.

Lexie: That's not true.

Mark; Before she got here I was happy, I had a good life but I let it all slip away for her. I made all of the wrong decisions. Now I don't have Sloan, I don't have a baby, and I don't have you.

(Lexie looks down and sighs.)

Lexie: You don't— You don't necessarily not have a baby.

Mark: (Confused) What?

Lexie: I'm—I'm pregnant.

Mark: What?

Lexie: That's what—That's what I was going to tell you the night you told me what you did with Addison. I guess I didn't tell you because I was angry. I'm sorry, I was being selfish and immature and all I wanted to do is hurt you. But you don't deserve that because despite all that's happened you are a good person. I'm sorry.

(She starts to walk away when Mark grabs her arm.)

Mark: What are you going to do?

Lexie: I'm—I'm going to keep it.

Mark: You are?

Lexie: Yeah. Here.

(She moves out of his grasp and fishes through her purse for something. She takes out an ultrasound and hands it to him.)

Lexie: You can keep it, I have another copy.

(Mark just looks at it for a minute and then looks back up at her.)

Mark: So, what are we going to do here?

Lexie: Well, we can come up with something, we can come up with a joint custody agreement, we have 7 months to figure it out.

Mark: I want you to move back into the apartment.

Lexie: Mark—

Mark: I want you back, I love you so much and I know I hurt you but I want us to be together, that's all I've ever wanted.

Lexie: Mark, just because we're having a baby together doesn't erase everything that went wrong. I won't lie okay, I love you too, I always will, but I'm still so hurt that you slept with Addison. I know we were broken up but we had only broken up days before hand and the minute someone came along you just jumped into bed with them without giving it a second thought, and that just breaks my heart. So I can't be with you because just looking at you right now hurts. (Starting to cry.) It really hurts. So please, so I don't stress out, because I can't stress out, just focus on the fact that you're going to be a father, a real father, and just be happy with that.

(Lexie walks away.)

A/N: Well, there's the second chapter. I wanted to have Lexie be civil towards Mark and show more emotion than anger. I sped up the Sloan pregnancy so we could get that out of the way and give Mark and Lexie a chance to speak where she could calmly tell him about the baby. She's not going to give into him anytime soon though. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think.
