Thanks to mcbitchy28 and AiLing for the great reviews.
The song is Smile by Uncle Kracker. It completely describes how they are when they're together.
This is about two months past the last chapter and just so I'm not confusing anyone, including myself it is now early October.
Reviews make me smile. Okay, that was unbelievably cheesy, but I couldn't resist.
I don't own anything.

"Come on, Lexie. Just let go." Mark said laughing. They, Meredith, Derek, Owen, Christina, Callie, and Arizona were all at the ice skating rink. It had been decided that they all needed to relax and they had already done the baseball thing. And Derek decided it would be fun to rent out the entire rink. Alex and Izzie were supposed to be joining them soon.
"No!" Lexie yelled clinging to the wall. The last time she had been ice skating she was 8 and had broken her arm. She watched their friends skate past, none of them fell, but she just knew she would.
"Please, sweetheart. For me." He said flashing her a puppy dog face.
"What if I fall?" She asked her eyes wide.
"You won't." He said holding out a hand.
"How do you know?" She asked nervously twisting her engagement ring around her finger.
"I won't let you fall."
"Promise." She said still clinging to the wall. Even though she was terrified, she looked adorable.
"Promise?" He said laughing. "Lex, do you trust me?"
"You know I do. What does that have to do with anything?"
"Well, if you trust me." He said sliding an arm around her waist, gently taking her hands off of the wall, and wrapping his around them. "You don't need me to promise because you know that I will never, ever let you fall."
"I trust you." She said smiling softly.
"Good." He said smiling before kissing her and beginning to skate around the ice a good three feet away from the wall.
By the third time around, Lexie had gotten more comfortable and was now skating on her own with their hands locked.
Mark couldn't help but smile as he watched Lexie. She had a wide grin on her face, her eyes were sparkling, and seemed to be having a great time. She was beautiful.
Lexie couldn't help but smile as she watched Mark. He had same proud look on his face that he always did when he was watching her, was having a lot of fun, and, even though he pretended not to be, was watching her like a hawk. He was adorable, handsome, and sexy all rolled into one.
By the fifth time around, you never would've known that Lexie had started out terrified.
About an hour later they had all finally gotten off of the ice and were sitting on the bleachers eating snacks from the concession stand.
"You got some crumbs right there." He said gesturing to her cheek. He then proceeded to pull her into his lap and begin kissing her cheek and tickling her.
"Mark!" She shrieked laughing.
"You guys are giving me a cavity." Christina said looking up from the bag of cotton candy she and Meredith were currently devouring.
"And all that cotton candy isn't?" She asked between laughing shrieks.
"Nope." Meredith said giggling as Derek wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"God, what is with everyone?" Cristina asked. Derek was now kissing a giggling Meredith's face, Callie and Arizona were laughing and feeding each other chocolate bars, and Mark was still tickling Lexie.
"Awww, are you jealous? You want me to do that too?" Owen asked sarcastically.
"No, I have cotton candy." She said bluntly.
Mark finally stopped tickling Lexie, looked at her seriously, and said, "Got it."
"You sure?" She said laughing and kissing him again.
Before he could reply Alex and Izzie burst through the doors. "The in vitro worked! I'm pregnant!" Izzie screamed excitedly.
"Oh my God, Iz. That's awesome." Lexie said being the first to hug her friend. Mark congratulated them as well then they stepped back.
Mark wrapped his arms around her waist and put his chin on her shoulder and began to open his mouth.
"Don't even think about it." She said before he had a chance to speak.
"Okay." He said smiling and kissing her cheek.
He tightened his grip around her waist as they watched Meredith. They were two of the few people who knew about her miscarriage. She was trying to be happy, but they both knew that look in her eyes. The longing, heartbroken dark and twisty look.
…..
Later that night Mark crawled into bed beside Lexie.
"So, I was thinking…" He said teasingly and trailing off.
"It's not funny!" She said sitting up. "Do you realize how monumentally disastrous that would be if we had kids before I was ready? It's just… Not funny." She said looking at him.
"Relax. I was just teasing." He said laughing.
"Not funny." She said flopping back down on the mattress.
"Hilarious." He said rolling on top of her.
"Nope." She said a smile tugging at her lips.
"Yep." He said leaned down and kissed her.
"Maybe a little…." She admitted after he pulled away.
"Maybe a lot." He replied kissing her again before rolling off of her.
"Nope, just a little." She said smiling as he lay, propped up on his arm, looking at her.
"A lot." He replied kissing her again.
"I hate you." She mumbled giggling.
"I love you too." He said wrapping his arms around her. They fell asleep with matching smiles on their faces.
