Chapter 3
SCENE: SGMW ABOUT A MONTH LATER
(Lexie is clicking her pen over and over at the nurse's station while looking at a patient's chart. Meredith, who is standing not far from her, speaks up.)
Meredith: Lexie?
Lexie: Yeah?
Meredith: That's really annoying.
(Lexie looks at her pen and then puts it down.)
Lexie: Sorry, nervous habit.
Meredith: Are you okay? You've been jittery all day.
Lexie: Yeah, just a little something on my mind.
Meredith: Well, what is it, maybe I can help?
(Lexie sighs and gestures for Meredith to move in closer.)
Lexie: (Whispering) I want to have a baby.
Meredith: (Thinking) Sorry, I can't help you with that.
Lexie: No! (Laughing and whispering again) No, I just, it's a thought I've been having for a while, it's something I really, really want, I just don't know how to tell Mark.
Meredith: (Whispering) What do you mean? You know Mark wants more kids.
Lexie: Yeah, but maybe not right now, and I'm ready now.
Meredith: Did he say that?
Lexie: No.
Meredith: Then what makes you think that?
Lexie: Well, he had to think about having a baby with Julia, that means he isn't ready for another one.
Meredith: No, I think he had to think about having a baby with Julia because Julia wasn't Lexie Grey.
Lexie: Come on.
Meredith: I'm serious. Mark has always wanted a future with you, kids and all, and I bet when you tell him you're ready for a baby he'll jump for joy.
(Lexie gives her a look.)
Meredith: Well not literally, but he will be very happy.
Lexie: I don't know, maybe.
Meredith: Just tell him, Lex, I know I'm right about this.
(Lexie thinks.)
LATER THAT NIGHT
(Lexie is lying under the covers when Mark walks out of the adjoining bathroom. He walks over to his side of the bed and pulls back the covers. He gets in the bed and gets comfy. As soon as he has settled Lexie moves over to him and straddles his waist. She starts to kiss him. They kiss for a few minutes before breaking apart for air.)
Mark: Wow, Mrs. Sloan, I don't know what's gotten into you tonight but I like it.
(Lexie giggles and kisses him again.)
Lexie: (In between kisses) There's something (kiss) I want to (kiss) run by you.
Mark: Now? (Breaking away from her.) Does it have to do with sex?
Lexie: No, well sort of. It's just- This is a thought I've been having for a while. Bu-but it's big and life changing and I don't know how you'd feel about it. So I wouldn't be offended if-
(She is cut off when Mark leans up and kisses her.)
Mark: (Breaking apart) Lex, just tell me.
Lexie: Okay, um, w—what, would you think if we st-started trying for a baby?
Mark: (Shocked) Are you serious?
Lexie: Yeah. (Smiling) I want to have your baby, I've loved every minute of starting a family with you and Sofia these past few months. Just- I always knew I wanted a family with you someday and that you would be an amazing father. So, just seeing you with her and being apart of it, it has just made me want it that much more. I want everything with you. So what do you say, will you get me pregnant Mark Sloan?
Mark: (Smiling) You had me when you said you wanted to have a baby with me.
Lexie: (Smiling) Good.
(She leans down and kisses him.)
LATER THAT NIGHT
(Lexie is lying with her head on Mark's chest while Mark strokes her hair.)
Lexie: Mm, I hope our baby has your eyes.
Mark: (Chuckling) Do you now?
Lexie: Yep, they're the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen in my life.
(She moves up to his level and strokes his cheek.)
Mark: No, our children should definitely look like you, you're gorgeous. Although if our daughters look like you I'll have a problem that will require me chasing away boys with a shotgun.
(Lexie laughs)
Mark: I'm serious, I already have the one I'm going to use when Sofia's older picked out.
(Lexie continues to laugh)
Lexie: I love the overprotective Daddy side in you.
(Mark smiles and strokes her cheek.)
Mark: No matter what I'll be happy because those babies will be half yours.
Lexie: (Smiling) And I'll be happy they're half yours.
(They start to make out again.)
A/N: There you go! A continuation of the story with plenty of fluffy goodness. Please let me know what you think.
