Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews, please keep them coming. Okay, last chapter was the first chapter I hadn't had a time jump since I started the time jumps and it felt so short for me because it wasn't in there, but the time jump is back. LOL. This is a bigger time jump from the last chapter. Last chapter Lexie was six weeks pregnant and this chapter starts off with her 10 weeks pregnant. I think most of the chapters will have about 2 weeks time jump. I hope you all enjoy this. Reviews please.
Lexie released a sigh as she came out of the bathroom. They were going house haunting having decided to go looking now would be easier than later. Lexie grabbed her cell that was on the dress and then left their bedroom to find Mark sitting on the couch watching television. Few minutes later they were in the car, heading close to where Derek and Meredith live.
"I might be wearing your t-shirts soon," Lexie told Mark as she continued to drive.
"Can't you go to the stores after work?"
"No, Mark. By the time I get off I want to come home and go to sleep. So unless I take time off I can't." Lexie said as she released a sigh of defeat.
"Well I like how you look in my t-shirts," Mark said as he turned his head to look at her, she say the smirk on his face.
"Mark,"
"What?"
"That's how this happened," Lexie pointed to her stomach but a smile was on her face.
Mark didn't say anything back as he turned his attention back to the road.
"Plus you might not like how I look in your shirts now." Lexie said to him as she noticed where they were going with a confused look on her face she turned towards Mark.
"Impossible. Well I have a little surprise for you," Mark told her as he noticed the confused look on her face.
Their relationship has grown that words didn't have to be said for them knowing what each other was thinking. She didn't know what Mark was planning but she knew she was going to find out soon as the car started to slow down.
"You have to close your eyes and promise to not open them until I say so." Lexie shot him a look of curiosity but he shot her one back.
"Promise," Lexie said as she held up two fingers implying scouts honor and then she closed her eyes.
Lexie was able to hear Mark turn the car off and then climbing out of the car before opening her door and helping her out. They walked for about a few minutes with Mark guiding her. Mark finally stopping walking causing Lexie to stop walking, he moved from her side to stand in front of her and place his hands over her eyes.
"Open them," just as Mark said that he moved his hand at the same time.
Lexie was left speechless by the sight in front of her. She knew the house she was staring at. It was the very house she kept looking at online before they got married. She loved it and would always check to see if it got sold. Mark knew that she loved that house so much. After having found out Lexie was pregnant he was shock to realize the house was still on the market and he didn't waste a moment of time anymore and he bought the house.
"Mark are you implying that this is…" the words seem to not come out, she was shock that even the thought of it was so surreal.
"Our house. Our house as family?" Lexie finally got the words to come out.
"Yes and there is more," Mark said as she waited for her to catch up to him.
"More?" Lexie asked as Mark held the door open for him.
"You moved all this stuff in here?
"Not just me, all the guys." Mark said as she started to give her a tour of their new house.
"Let me guess, my best friend had to force her boyfriend to help you?" Lexie said implying that Izzie had to force Alex to help.
Mark didn't say anything as they made their way up the stairs. She counted to herself and counted that there were four rooms upstairs, coming for a total of six rooms, which include the two downstairs.
"This will be the baby's nursery, I'll paint it when we know the if it's a girl or boy," Lexie smiled as she stared at the empty room.
"And this is our bedroom," Mark said as she picked her up and carried her into the room and over to the bed that was already in there.
"You got a bed."
"I did."
"Thank you Mark," Lexie said to him as she pulled him into her but carefully.
She then let her lips collide with his. Their tongues slid against each others their body heat was intensifying faster by the second. Moments after pulling his jacket off she ripped his shirt off. While he proceed to remove her top. Lexie relocked her arms around his neck. Upon this happening they rolled a few times in the bed.
It was about thirty minutes later as they both were laying on the bed half clothed, her head resting on his chest. Silence filled the whole entire house, while Lexie stirred in his arms.
"Mark."
"Yes."
"Thank you. I love this and I love you. This baby and you matter so much to me." Lexie said, as she didn't move to herself to look at him.
"Lexie," Mark spoke her name trying to get her to look at him.
"Yeah," she said as she titled her head back to see him.
"Shh," Mark told her before cupping her face in his hands and letting his lips touch hers as she started to kiss her again.
"I'm going to have to shower again," she managed to speak to him.
"So will I." Mark said as he broke the kiss.
"Why did we make lunch plans again?" Mark asked Lexie referring to the plans they made with Derek, Meredith and Lizzie.
"Because…" but the reason was escaping her mind at the moment.
"Because?" Mark said jokingly.
"To tell Lizzie," Lexie said.
It wouldn't be until ten minutes later that they both finally got up and showered in the new house. Mark convinced Lexie to wear one of his Yankee shirts. It wasn't until about an hour and a half later from when they first arrived to when they left. Lexie called Meredith on the way to their house so they knew they were on the way.
