Lexi stood in front of her mirror. It's been three weeks since David's affair came out and he and Lexi have been trying to get their marriage back on track. David stood in the doorway watching Lexi as she brushed her freshly blow dried platinum hair. Her sparkling blue eyes shined even brighter than he had ever seen. Tonight he was taking her on a date just because. Henry had asked to stay over Emma's so David decided tonight was as good a night as any. She caught his glance in the mirror and smiled. He walked over to her and kissed her before she could back away. She rolled her eyes and looked in the mirror.
"You know I'm a perfectionist. Why would you kiss me after I put on lip gloss?"
"Because I love you and I'll kiss you no matter what you're wearing… or not wearing." Lexi rolled her eyes once again then ran the brush through her hair. She stood up and took her robe off revealing the most beautiful dress, next to her wedding dress, David had ever seen. It was floor length that hugged her curves like a glove and flowed slightly after the waist so she could walk easily. He noticed it was a little tight in her stomach area but David knew much better than to say anything. "Ready?" Lexi nodded and took his offered arm. They walked out and got into David's truck. They went to the only fancy restaurant in Storybrooke. David opened her door for her and helped her out. She gasped when she saw the place.
"David…"
"I know." Lexi looked at the place she hasn't been to since David proposed to her. She placed her hand over her stomach and didn't know if it was because she was nervous or something else. She sat down as David pulled out the chair for her. She sat down and her heart started to race. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm great. I'm glad we did this." David leaned over her shoulder and kissed her cheek softly. As dinner progressed, Lexi knew she had to say something before she went totally mad. She put her napkin down and closed her eyes. "David. There's something I need to tell you. You know I went to the doctor's a couple weeks ago."
"Are you okay? Are you sick?" David asked started to get nervous. Lexi smiled.
"No, no, I'm not sick. I'm prefect."
"So what's wrong?" Lexi reached into her small purse and pulled out a small black and white picture. She handed it to David who furrowed his brows in confusion.
"Lex, what am I looking at here." She got up and went over to him.
"It's an ultrasound they did this to see why I was having stomach pains. See this here? That small little pea sized blob?" David nodded. "That's our baby." He snapped his head over to her. She gave him a nervous smile.
"Baby? Our baby? You're pregnant?" Lexi nodded still wearing the same smile. He stood up and took her face in his hands. "We're having a baby? We're having a baby. We're having a baby!" He kissed her hard leaving her breathless and wanting more. He picked her up and spun her around "I'm going to be a father!" Lexi laughed and held on tight so she wouldn't fall. He set her on the ground and they both had tears running down their faces. David connected their lips and kissed her passionately. He moved his hand down to her stomach and it now made sense why her dress was slightly tight. "Lexi, I cannot even put into words how happy I am." Lexi smiled and let out a breathless laugh. "How far are you?"
"Doctor Whale said about six weeks." David nodded not wanting to think that while his wife was pregnant with his child, he was out with Mary Margret. Right now, he just wanted to enjoy this moment with his wife. They sat down and continued with a wonder thought inside their heads.
A few days later, Lexi was sitting in Granny's with Emma, Belle, Ruby, and Mary Margret. She still hadn't let on that she knew about David and Mary Margret. She was going to tell her today though.
"So I have some exciting news. A few weeks ago, I went to the doctor and found out something amazing." Lexi began. She held up her glass of iced tea and smiled. "I'm pregnant." The five girls cheered with clinked their glasses. "I told David a few days ago and we're both happily awaiting the birth of our daughter?"
"You know what it is already?" Belle asked.
"No, it's still too early for that but call mother' intuition or whatever but I know I have a little girl inside here." Lexi said with a hand on her stomach.
"Lexi, you the same glow to you, you had when you told us you and David were adopting Henry. Speaking of Henry, have you told him yet?" Ruby asked.
"Not yet, we're planning on telling him tonight. So sorry Emma, I get Henry tonight." Lexi joked with Emma.
"That's fine. I already told Henry I wouldn't be home tonight. I have another date with Graham."
"Wow, you guys are getting pretty serious huh? This is what your month anniversary?" Mary Margret asked.
"Something like that. I think it might be two months. How do I know? I'm just glad to be getting over Henry's father. Graham awakens things inside me I thought were long dead."
"Woah, that's the most I've ever heard you reveal. Damn Emma, Graham has you soft." Emma smirked and blushed. She leaned into the group and they all moved in as well.
"Well, I certainly haven't made him soft."
"Ooohhhhh! Don't you dare finish there!" Ruby said.
"Sorry girls got to go." Emma quickly got up and fled the diner. Ruby turned back to the girls.
"We'll get her." They all laughed and then all eyes were on Belle. "So?"
"What?" Belle asked.
"Don't think we didn't see you and Mr. Gold walking down the street last night." Mary Margret said. Belle sighed and told them about how she and Mr. Gold had been seeing each other for a little while, which earned her a slap on the arm from Ruby for not telling her. After a while, Ruby had to go back to work and Belle had to get back to the library.
"Mary Margret, can you and I talk for a minute? Alone?"
"Um, yeah, sure."
"Great let's go back to my house. We can talk there. David's not home yet." She nodded and the two women went to the Nolan house. Lexi took a deep breath. "Mary Margret, we've been friends for a long time. I met you before I met David. After everything we've been through, why you sleep with my husband?" Mary Margret's face lost all its color. "Even if you two didn't sleep together why would you hurt me like this?"
"Lexi, I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I don't know what came over me. I really am sorry."
"You know Henry knew about you two? My son probably will need therapy for this." Lexi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. "However, I'm not mad at you."
"What?"
"I'm not mad at you. I want to be. I should be. However, I know that being mad at you and David won't change the fact that you both were together for four months. Plus, we've been friends for way too long to throw away friendship over some guy. Granted that guy was my husband, but like I said we've been friends for way too long to throw it all away." Lexi said.
"Wow, I- I don't what to say. I don't know if I would be as understanding as you."
"Well, being pregnant has mellowed me out slightly." Mary Margret smiled.
"I want you to know that I did feel terrible the whole time. I didn't want to hurt you but…"
"I get it. You loved him and you still do. I get it. Let's face it, David is one of the most good looking men in Storybrooke." They both laughed. "As long as you can control yourself around him, I see no reason we can't be friends. Plus, we both have stuff to blackmail him with now." Lexi said with a smile. "However, if he ever pisses me off I can bring up that you two were together and I'll drop to his knees in defeat." They both laughed.
"Well, let's talk about what we're going to with your nursery."
"Want to see the room that's going to be the nursery? Come on." She led the brunette upstairs into a room next to the master bedroom. She opened the door and it was full of boxes.
"Isn't this where David keeps everything that should be in the attic?" Mary Margret asked.
"Yup, David's punishment for what he did is he loses his storage space and he has to clean it out." Lexi said with an evil smirk. "Plus, this is one of the bigger rooms. Henry has a big room so it only makes sense that the baby should have a big room as well."
"That's true. What do you think you're going to do with it?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'm sure between the two of us we can figure something out?"
"The two of us?"
"Yeah, we made a pact way back when that when one of us gets pregnant the two of us would decorate the nursery for said mother to be."
"Well, yeah, I just wasn't sure if you still wanted to after…"
"I forgave you. We're past that. Let's go downstairs and look for things to do." The two girls went back downstairs. Lexi was in front and felt guilty for having Mary Margret decorate the room she would get to raise her daughter in after she helped Mary Margret decorate the nursery Mary Margret never got to raise Emma in.
