Chapter 2

SCENE: SGMW A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER

(Lexie is in the locker room getting dressed when she feels a sharp pain in her stomach. She leans down and winces as April and Meredith walk in.)

April: Wow, you look like hell.

Lexie: Nice to see you too April.

Meredith: What I think April meant to say was, are you feeling okay?

Lexie: Yeah, I've just been having these really powerful cramps in my stomach all morning.

Meredith: I just saw Mark, I can't believe he didn't mention this.

Lexie: He doesn't know.

Meredith: What?

Lexie: He was on call all night, besides, why worry him over nothing?

(Meredith walks over to her and feels her head.)

Meredith: Lexie, this isn't nothing, you're burning up.

Lexie: Meredith, I promise, I feel-

(She stops when she feels her stomach turn and she rushes over to the trashcan. She barely makes it there before she throws up)

SCENE: A HOSPITAL ROOM A LITTLE WHILE LATER

(Meredith and Bailey are standing next to Lexie who's lying in a hospital bed when the new intern, Dr. Jo Wilson walks in.)

Jo: Yep, her appendix burst.

Bailey: Dr. Wilson, is that how you deliver a diagnosis to all of your patients and their families?

Jo: Well, I—I just figured we all know her, and we're all doctors. (She stops when Bailey glares at her.) No, Dr. Bailey, that's not how I deliver a diagnosis to all my patients.

Lexie: (Giggling) Don't worry, I was picked on a lot when I was an intern too. But you know what helps? (Whispering loudly) Having hot sex with an attending. That's what I did, and then I married him and the sex is still AMAZING!

Jo: Is she okay?

Meredith: The nurse has her on a morphine drip, she's a little out of it. Luckily she won't remember this.

Lexie: What? I don't want to forget having sex with Mark, have I mentioned the sex is amazing?

Meredith: Yes sweetie, you have. And you can stop it right now.

Jo: Um, we need her next of kin's consent to have an appendectomy.

Bailey: Okay, that would be her husband, so where is he?

Jo: We-Well, I checked the board and Dr. Sloan's in surgery so-

(Bailey glares at her again.)

Jo: I'll go get him.

(Jo rushes out.)

Lexie: Yep, she needs to have sex, now.

(Meredith looks at Bailey.)

Meredith: Okay, Derek says I didn't do anything humiliating, but when I had my appendix out did I say something along these lines?

Bailey: Would you like me to lie to you too?

Meredith: (Horrified) That's what I thought.

MEANWHILE IN AN OR

(Mark and Jackson are operating when Jo rushes in holding a mask up to her face.)

Jo: Dr. Sloan-

Mark: I'm busy.

Jo: But-

Mark: No buts, I'm operating.

Jo: (Quickly) It's about your wife.

(Mark looks up at her.)

Mark: Is Lexie okay?

Jo: Her appendix burst, she needs an appendectomy.

Mark: Avery, take over.

(Mark quickly rushes out.)

A FEW MINUTES LATER BACK IN LEXIE'S ROOM

(April is now the only one in the room with Lexie when Mark rushes in.)

Mark: Is she okay?

Lexie: Hi sexy!

April: She's on morphine, she's been talking about sex, a lot.

(Mark walks over to Lexie and strokes her hair.)

Mark: How are you beautiful?

Lexie: I'm great, but sweetie you should be in surgery, you have wonderful hands. (She turns to April, whispering) And I'm not just talking about surgery.

April: (To Mark) Please god, tell me I can leave?

Mark: (Laughing) I'll take it from here.

(April quickly rushes out.)

Lexie: Good, now we can be alone.

(She grabs on to the top of his scrub top and pulls him down for a kiss. Mark breaks away.)

Mark: Honey, we're in the hospital, you're about to have surgery.

Lexie: So, we've had sex in the hospital before, great sex, except for that time I broke your penis, that was bad.

(Just then they hear someone clear their throat, Mark turns around to see Jo standing in the doorway.)

Jo: Um, sorry, I need to prep her for surgery.

(Jo walks over and starts doing her job.)

Mark: If you tell anyone what you just heard I'll make sure the closest thing you get to a surgery is a sea of rectal exams.

Jo: (Clearing her throat.) Your secrets safe with me.

Lexie: It wasn't all bad, we couldn't have sex for 6 weeks but we spent a lot of time together. It was actually then I realized I was falling in love with him.

(Mark smiles as Jo speaks up.)

Jo: I'm all set, I have to take her up to surgery now.

Mark: Okay, just give me a minute.

(Mark leans over Lexie and strokes her cheek.)

Mark: I love you so much, I'll see you when you wake up okay?

Lexie: (Smiling) I love you too.

(Mark kisses her head and then steps aside. He watches as Jo wheels her out of the room.)

LATER THAT NIGHT

(Lexie turns her head and starts to wake up, she looks over to see Mark sitting in a chair looking at her.)

Mark: (Smiling and leaning forward to take her hand.) Hey.

Lexie: (Smiling slightly) Hey, I don't—- I don't remember what happened, the last thing I remember is throwing up in a trash can.

Mark: You had appendicitis, you had to have surgery.

Lexie: Did I- Did I say anything embarrassing?

Mark: (Shaking his head and lying) Nope, just how much you love me.

Lexie: (Smiling) Good, my favorite subject.

(Mark leans over and kisses her.)

A/N: There we go! I thought we all needed some fluff. There will be more to the story in the next chapter and I'm really going to work hard to update this and my other stories soon. Obviously I got inspiration from episode 3x04. Let me know what you think!
