Two weeks had passed since Lexie's doctor's appointment and she had been very busy. She had been on and off call, sleeping whenever she could. She felt like she had spent more time in the hospital than at home, but it was all worth it for her. She had been so tired on top of that because of her pregnancy, but she figured she had to juggle that with her job.

Lexie was walking down to the abandoned corridor when she noticed her big sister sitting on the gurney, eating a salad and reading a book. "Hey." She said as she flopped next to her, stealing a tomato from Meredith's plate. She hasn't talked to her sister in a while; they were on call in different hours and only got to say the occasional "hello", so now seemed like a good time to catch up.

"Hey! I haven't talked to you in a while!" Meredith smiled, putting down her book and turning to Lexie. "How have you been? Feeling ok?" Meredith and Lexie were really close now, and Meredith really worried about her sister. Her mum had died, and her dad was absolutely not there at all. Technically, it was Meredith's dad too, but she wasn't ever close with him.

"Yeah I've been ok actually, really tired but the morning sickness has gotten better since dr Montgomery gave me them meds. How are you?" Lexie smiled.

"Aw that's great! Just don't stress yourself out ok?" Meredith lectured.

"Meredith, I'm fine." Lexie groaned.

"No, Lexie I know you. You get yourself worked up over the tiniest of things and you cry." She said, putting another spoon of green leaves into her mouth, raising one eyebrow at Lexie. Lexie didn't say anything; she just rolled her eyes and got her phone out her pocket.

"What about Alex?" Meredith asked.

"What?" Lexie asked, trying to hide her facial expression.

Meredith frowned, "Alex. How is he about everything?"

"Oh, um," she hesitated, "Alex? He's- he's ok. Yeah he's fine"

Meredith put her spoon down. "Alexandra Caroline Grey, you are a terrible liar."

Lexie's eyes grew wide. "Ok i haven't told him," she quivered, her speech getting fasted as she went, "I know I should said something to him but what if he doesn't like it and he freaks out and he hates me and-" lexie was cut off by Meredith.

"Hey, hey lexie stop. This is exactly my point; you get yourself so worked up." Meredith took her little sisters hand, "just tell him. Do it fast before it's too late. It will be FINE! Anyway, I'm always here remember? Now, come here." She pulled lexie in for a hug.

"Thanks Mer." Lexie breathed, tearing up. Damn hormones, she thought to herself.

Later on that day, Lexie thought she'd go for a nap in the on call room. She'd been on her feet for hours and really deserved a rest. She quietly opened the door, careful not to wake anyone in there already. She walked into the dark room, and when her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw Alex sitting on the top bunk of one of the metal beds. Her heart began to thump so hard she thought it was going to come out of her chest. She had to tell him now. She had to.

Alex looked up from his cell and saw his girlfriend standing in the middle of the room. "Hey babe" he said before looking down at his phone again, obviously he was playing a game.

"Hey." Lexie smiled. She breathed deeply and went and sat on the top bunk next to him, trying not to shake. Alex didn't seem to notice when she sat down, he was so engrosed in his temple run game, he could barely look up. "Hey, I need to tell you something." she blurted out, holding her hands together so she wouldn't shake.

"Hmm." Alex slowly said his body turning with his game.

"ALEX!" Lexie said, raising her voice. She snatched the iphone from her boyfriends hands and exited the game.

"Hey I was on a new record I didn't save it!" He said, trying to reach for it back.

"Alex I need to talk to you." Lexie began again.

"This better be good Lexie that was a winning streak." Alex seemed annoyed.

"I'm pregnant." she said it. She wasnt sure that she had said it because the expression on his face was completely blank. "Alex? Oh god, I'm so sorry Alex," tears began to form in her eyes, " I'm so sorry this wasn't planned, please don't-" with that, Alex pulled her into a long kiss, shutting her up.

When they pulled apart, Lexie didn't know what to say. "Hey don't apologise, that is the most amazing news ive heard in months!" He said soothingly, wiping a tear from her cheek.

"Really? I mean, it wasn't planned." She sniffled.

Alex sighed, and took her hands. "Lex, we are surgeons, nothing will ever be planned. Look, there will never be the right time to do anything for as long as we are working here. We live in the moment. And this, this is perfect." he reached out and touched Lexies still flat stomach. Lexie put her hand over his and smiled.

"I love you Alex Karev." She said with a great sigh of relief as she snuggled up against his strong frame.
