Hey guys! Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, I will try to be more frequent with the updates this week considering it's the last one before school starts :)

"Sure, follow me." Cristina said to Tom. She wanted to be the one to see Lexie. Cristina didn't want Meredith's memory of Little Grey to be tarnished in any way. She was the strong one of the group, that was always true. It was Cristina who Izzie turned to for help with her cancer. Cristina was a robot, they said. She could handle anything, they said. Cristina took a deep breath and thought Do this for Meredith. Just as Cristina was leading Tom away from the makeshift campsite Derek yelled from behind
"Wait! I'm coming." He could see the relief on Cristina's face. She wasn't as strong as it seemed. Derek knew Cristina was close to Lexie too. She was the first to ever give Lexie a chance by inviting her over for drinks one day. It warmed Derek's heart when Meredith told him that story, making it easier for him to help Cristina through her PTSD. He wrapped his arms around his wife, pulling her close to his body.
"We'll be right back okay?" Cristina choked back tears at Derek's words to Meredith's. They were almost identical to the words she spoke to Little Grey not a day ago.
"Don't do anything rash." He smiled and kissed Meredith on the lips. "There's a couple of first aid kits behind the driver's seat." Tom said, pointing at his chopper. Meredith nodded and headed over towards it.
"This way." Derek pointed at a clearing in the trees. Cristina was extremely grateful, though she'd never tell, that Derek came along to see Lexie. She didn't know what the elements would have done to Lexie's body and Cristina hoped that Meredith would never see her sister like that again.
Mark watched Derek, Cristina, and the newcomer Tom disappear into the trees. They were going to see Lexie for the first time since her death. The harsh reality barely registered to Mark in his weakened state. Lexie would never walk the halls of SGMW again. She would never eat another peanut butter cup, or do another surgery. Mark knew he would have to end it with Julia. It wasn't fair to her or to Lexie. He had proclaimed his love for Lexie in her last moments. Mark only hoped that Lexie believed that his love was true and not just a last ditch effort to get her to hold on. He really did love Lexie immensely. In all those months he had been with Julia it was Lexie who entered his brain more often than not. Mark was fond of Julia there was no doubt, but the bond they shared was more of young love that eternal happiness. When Sofia first rolled over, it was Lexie whom he wanted to call first to brag. He knew she would be happy for him and for Sofia. Mark knew how hard it must be for Lexie to see and hear about Sofia everyday. Much like Arizona must feel when she sees her daughter. The daughter that was created by her wife sleeping with someone else, a man none the less. But Lexie never let bitterness get in the way of Mark's happiness.
Meredith made her way over to Mark, Arizona and Jerry. "Sorry Jerry but there's not much I can do for you right now, seeing as you're paralyzed." Jerry nodded sadly "I understand." Meredith scooted up towards Arizona and brought out some disinfectants for her leg. "Arizona, this is gonna hurt, a lot." She warned the peds surgeon. Arizona grimaced and reached for a hand to hold. It was Mark who cupped her hand in both of his. "I'm ready. Just get it over with." She said as Meredith poured the white liquid into her splinted leg. Arizona gritted her teeth against the pain, she didn't want to show any more weakness than she did earlier. Peds surgeons are hardcore, not weak.

Okay I have to end here because my parents are yelling at me to get out of bed but I will try to add the rest of the chapter sometime later today.
