As she heard a shrill ringing, Lexie got out of bed, carefully trying not to wake up her husband. She grabbed a blanket, wrapping it around her naked torso and answered the phone as soon as the bedroom door was closed.

"Hey, Lex." said Meredith.

"Hi." She replied, brewing some coffee.

"How was your night? I mean after your little meltdown I was worried. Derek and I must have called you guys seven times."

"Oh, well we had a really big fight. Like huge. Worst we've had."

"Wow, that, uh, that stinks."

"After I finished screaming we had earth-shattering sex. Like really good. Best we've had."

"Well that's good."

"No. It's earth shattering." she corrected.

"You know what they say; make up sex is the best."

"Yeah, but I feel like I hiked Mount Everest."

"Well, it happens." She laughed.

"So, your fight, you weren't just pushing all feeling away to sleep with him?"

"No, I let my feelings out. Loudly. But he let out his feelings, and that's what led to Mount Everest."

"Ah, makes sense. But I mean, you just got married, what could you possibly have to fight about?"

"Sloane and the Baby, and Addison, and Alex." She sighed.

"That sucks."

"Tell me about it."

"But you love him."

"I think I love him too much, Mer. I mean, I can't think of anything he could do where I wouldn't forgive him."

"Oh, Lex. That's what love is. At least for you. For Me and Derek, it's knowing whatever happens we won't run. Love's different for everybody." Lexie felt warm lips against her bare shoulders. She covered up the speaker of the phone.

"What the hell are you doing?" she asked as he tugged against the blanket.

"Finishing what we started last night."

"Well, I finished uh, four times last night, if I remember correctly."

"Six," he muttered, tracing patterns on her back with his tongue.

"Lex? Lex, are you there?" asked Meredith.

"Yeah, I'm here. But so is Mount Everest. Can I talk to you at work?"

"Yeah, love yah." She said and hung up the phone.

"I am busy"

"So am I" he whispered, gently biting her ear.

"Mark," she sighed, as he was stepping forward, forcing her back until she was against the island. She pulled the blanket around her. "We have to work." She said, turning to face him.

"Twenty minutes Lex. That's all I'm asking for." He managed to get the blanket from her, pulling her tightly against him.

"Mark…" she sighed quietly. He covered her mouth with hers, eliciting a slight moan from her.

"Yes?" he asked, only breaking their lips apart for a second. She moaned again, his hot breath blowing over her face.

"Nuh, Nothing" she managed before she was on the counter.

"Thought so"

. . . . . . . . .

"Why is there kool-aid in our bathroom? He asked, holding up a red packet.

"It's lip-stain, and were gonna be late."

"Wait, what?"

"No time to explain, we gotta go." She leaned in and gave him a quick kiss.

"Oh my god" he grunted, pulling her hard against him.

"What?" she asked, trying to escape his grasp.

"You," he pulled her closer. "Taste really good." he dragged his tongue over her bottom lip.

"Mark, we have to go," she sighed.

"No, we don't"

"Yes, we do."

"I'm not letting you leave this bedroom."

"Callie… We, We have the ultrasound… and we have to, we're all ready,"

"Doesn't matter." He pinned her against the bed.

"Mark, she's gonna be mad if we're late and"

"She won't be mad"

"Yeah, she will and I love you but we have to leave."

"She won't be mad. I promise."

"Really?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Really," he said, kissing her deeply.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

"I am so sorry we're late, we got uh, caught up leaving the apartment and, uh, I'm sorry." She said pulling her hair up, and going to stand by Callie and Arizona.

"Frankly, I'm not sorry." Said Mark, joining her. She turned around and slapped his shoulder.

"What was that for?" he asked.

"You. Ass. Annoying." They were interrupted by the exam room door opening.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Arlington. I'll be your OB. I'm very sorry I'm late." He was looking down at a chart, and when he looked up, a shocked expression crossed over his face. "Hell of a lot of doctors in here. And I only recognize one of you." He said, gesturing Arizona.

"Mark Sloan, plastics." Said Mark, extending his hand for the other man to shake. Doctor Arlington gladly took it.

"Callie Torres, ortho." Said Callie, changing her position on the exam bed.

"Lexie Sloan, I'm going into neuro."

"Ah, under Doctor Shepherd, very nice. So, what's deal here, are you a surrogate or…"

"Lesbian Lover," said Callie, pointing to Arizona, "Baby Daddy," she said, and Lexie scoffed, "Baby Daddy's wife." She said, glaring at Lexie.

"Oh, uh, okay, so, let's get you checked out."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Hey!" said Meredith, as Lexie took a seat between her and Alex at the cafeteria. "I was looking for you."

"Well, I was… Busy, this morning and then we had Callie's ultrasound, and then I was, well, we got, uh, I was busy, after the ultrasound too and this is the first time I've really been able to leave a bed." She explained, slightly embarrassed.

"You two are practically screwing each other senseless." Said Alex, making Derek chuckle.

"Where is the man of the hour anyway?" asked Derek.

"He got an emergency burn patient, so-" Alex interrupted her.

"You had to leave the on call room."

"Well, yeah."

"How are you not in a wheelchair by now?" asked Meredith, a look of empathy on her face.

"Lots and Lots of Advil" sighed Lexie, stabbing at a piece of lettuce with her fork.

"I uh, I gotta, uh, go" said Jackson, quickly stumbling off.

"What's his problem?" she asked, stealing a fry from Alex. Cristina snorted.

"You seriously haven't noticed?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Noticed what?"

"Dude, Avery's like totally in love with you"
