Alright, I think I might have fixed the compaction. Did anyone see Thursday nights episode? That was a pretty intense episode. I'm glad that Mark and Lexie are back together. Please comment!
Meredith walked in the front door of her house and Lexie came out of the kitchen with the phone in her hand.
"Hey" Meredith said as she took off her coat.
"Hey, can you watch Gracie for a little bit?" Lexie asked.
"Sure, why?" Meredith asked. Lexie looked in the living room and saw Gracie watching her princess movie up side down on the couch.
"Mark called. He want's to see me. I was gonna take Gracie but, we have alot to talk about..." Lexie ranted.
"Lex, it's fine" Meredith said with a small smile.
"Okay, thanks" Lexie said before grabbing her coat and walking out of the house.
Meredith turned around and headed into the living room.
"Whathca doin'" Meredith asked.
"Hey Aunt Meredith. Just watching my princess movie while hanging up side down, it's fun" Gracie said with a smile.
"Very cool. You hungry? I was thinking about ordering in a pizza" Meredith said. Gracie pulled her legs over to the side of the couch and turned around and sat on the couch right.
"Where's mommy?" Gracie asked.
"Uh?" Meredith said.
"Mommy was making supper" Gracie said.
"Oh, yeah. Your mom just needed to go talk to your dad for a little while" Meredith said.
"About me?" Gracie asked.
"Yeah, and some other grown up stuff" Meredith said.
"Oh" Gracie said. Meredith nodded.
"So?" Gracie said. Meredith looked at her.
"So?" Meredith asked.
"What kind of pizza are we having?" Gracie said before standing up and walking out of the living room. Meredith then followed her into the kitchen.
Lexie took a deep breath before walking into Mark's room. She walked in the room to find Mark sitting up on the bed with a picture in his hands. Lexie walked up to his bed and that's when Mark noticed her. He looked up from the picture and smiled a small smile.
"She's beautiful, she looks like you" Mark said. Lexie was confused then Mark turned the picture around so Lexie could see. She sat down on the chair beside his bed. Mark then placed the picture on the stand and looked at Lexie.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you. I should have let you explain" Mark said. Lexie sighed looking down at her hands that were in her lap.
"It only happened once..." Lexie said before telling her story.
Flash back
Lexie woke up to a screaming baby next to her.
"Shhh...come on honey. It's okay" Lexie said picking up the two month old infant and trying to soothe the crying baby. It didn't work. She got up and rocked the baby back and fourth, that didn't work. She was rocking the crying baby in her arms when Alex came in.
"You know some people are trying to sleep" Alex said standing by the door.
"Your an ass hole. You think I haven't slept right in the pst two months. I have to take care of Gracie and go to work tired. So don't start with me Alex" Lexie said trying to bounce Gracie to sleep. Alex looked at her and sighed.
"Here, give her to me" Alex said reaching out for Gracie. Lexie looked at him with disbelief.
"Give her to me" Alex said. Lexie rolled her eyes and handed Gracie over to Alex. Alex took Gracie in his arms and rubbed circles on her back. Soon Gracie was fast asleep in Alex's arms. Alex then placed Gracie into her crib.
"Oh thank god. I'd thought she never go to sleep" Lexie said looking down at the sleeping baby. She then looked at Alex.
"Thank you" Lexie said.
"Yeah, whatever. Get some sleep" Alex said before turning away. Lexie sat down on her bed and looked at Gracie in her crib. Alex turned around and looked at Lexie. He then walked up to her and sat down next to her on the bed.
"I don't know if I can do this" Lexie said.
"Sure you can. Your just over tired" Alex said.
"No, I can't..." Lexie began but got cut off by Alex's lips.
End flash back
"And I don't think you need to know the rest" Lexie said looking down at her hands.
"Come here" Mark said patting the empty space beside him. Lexie got up from the chair and got on the bed with Mark and laied down beside him. Mark pulled her closer to him so that her head was on his chest. When he started to brush her hair with his fingers she started to cry.
A few hours later Lexie walked in the front door of her sister's house. She walked into the living room to find Meredith and Derek in each others arms watching a movie.
"Hey" Lexie said as she came into the room at sat down be side Meredith.
"Hey, how did it go?" Meredith asked.
"It went good. No yelling this time" Lexie said with a small smile.
"Well that's always good" Meredith said with a little laugh. Lexie nodded her head.
"Hey, you okay?" Meredith asked.
"Oh yeah. I'm just really tired" Lexie said. Lexie opened her mouth then shut it quickly, Derek didn't notice it but Meredith did.
"Gracie's up stairs in her room?" Lexie said getting up from the couch.
"Yeah, she's sleeping. I put her down about an hour ago" Derek said.
"Oh, you didn't have to do that Derek" Lexie said.
"No it's fine. I read her Cinderella and she went right to sleep" Derek said with a smile.
"Oh, okay" Lexie said walking out of the room.
"Lex..." Meredith began she looked over at Derek, Derek then got up.
"I'm gonna go get a snack" Derek said before walking out of the room. Meredith grabbed the remote and turned off the tv.
"Come here" Meredith said as she patted the empty space beside her. Lexie hesitated but went over to sit beside her sister anyways. When Lexie sat down Meredith wrapped both her arms around her.
"What's going on?" Meredith asked.
"What happens if it doesn't work out bewteen me and Mark. I mean we have Gracie now" Lexie said.
"Why? Did something happen?" Meredith asked. Lexie shook her head.
"No. Just what if it doesn't work out?" Lexie asked. Meredith thought for a moment. She looked back at everything her and Derek have been through and their still together. Meredith then shrugged her shoulders.
"What if it dose?" Meredith said. Lexie looked up at Meredith. Meredith gave her a small smile and then Lexie gave her a small smile in return.
Mark was reading the newspaper when Derek walked into the room.
"Hey, how are you feeling today?" Derek asked as he walked over to Mark's bed.
"I'm board. There's nothing to do in this place" Mark said folding the paper and placing it on the stand. Derek looked at him with raised eye brows.
"Well I don't think your gonna be board for much longer, at least not here. If everything looks good for you, you can be out of here by tomorrow" Derek said with a smile.
"That soon?" Mark asked. Derek nodded.
"Yeah, that soon" Derek said looking down at the chart.
"I just don't know where home is for me yet" Mark said.
"I'm sure you and Lexie will figure it out. The house is open for you, Lexie and Gracie until then" Derek said looking up from the chart.
"Thanks Derek" Mark said. Derek nodded his head.
"In the mean time there are some visitors here to see you" Derek said walking over to the door.
"Who?" Mark said. Derek opened the door.
Lexie walked in with a little girl holding her hand. Mark with wide eyes began to sit up straighter in his bed. The little was just like the girl in the picture that he stared at for hours that morning. She had her curly blondie hair in a pony tail like her mother's and a golden dress with black wavy lines along with a black sweater that showed the dress perfectly, the black pantie hoes were followed by the black shiny dress shoes on her feet. Mark looked at his daughter in awe.
"Come here" Mark said with a smile. Gracie looked up at her mother for approval. Lexie smlied and nodded her head. Gracie looked back at her dad with a small smile and slowly walked up to him.
"Come here honey, it's okay" Mark said still smiling, he's never seen a more beautiful sight. When Gracie finally reached her dad she stopped by the foot of his bed. When Gracie didn't move any closer Lexie walked up to her.
"Go on sweetie. It's okay" Lexie said placing a hand on Gracie's back. Gracie looked up at her mom.
"Can I hug daddy?" Gracie asked sweetly. Lexie, Mark and Derek laughed at the little girl. Lexie then nodded with a smile.
"Yeah baby girl. You can hug your daddy" Lexie said. Gracie smiled and climbed onto the bed and wrapped both her arms around Mark's neck and Mark wrapped his arms around the little girl's waist. Derek smiled and left to give the new little family some privacy.
Meredith walked into Mark's room looking at his chart.
"Everything looks good Mark..." Meredith said before Lexie cut her off.
"Shh" Lexie said getting up from the chair. Meredith looked over at the bed and saw Gracie beside Mark sleeping and Mark sleeping as well. Lexie kissed her daughter's head and walked over to Meredith and pointed out side and Meredith nodded her head. When they were out side the room Meredith began.
"Lex, for a guy that was in a coma for over five years, you wouldn't know it. He's perfectly healthy" Meredith said with a smile. Lexie sighed in relief and smiled.
"Derek said we could take him home tomorrow?" Lexie said.
"Yeah" Meredith said nodding her head. Lexie smiled.
"I have to get back to my patients. Come find me before you and Gracie leave" Meredith said.
"Okay thanks Meredith" Lexie said giving Meredith a hug. Meredith hugged her back quickly and pulled away with a smile before walking away. Lexie sighed once again in relief she turned around to look in the window to the room. She smiled at the sight. Lexie knew it wasn't gonna be easy but she believes that they can make it.
I hope everyone is satisfied with Mark and Gracie finally meeting. It took me forever to figure out how I was gonna do it. Please comment!
