Hi, sorry for the late update. I've been busy with school and other stuff and also I've been running out of ideas. I have a few but it's too soon to make them happen. So I don't know if I'll continue with this story….. But I will try my best. So enjoy and please review what you think.
''I'm too tired to cook anything tonight, do you want me to buy some Chinese from that restaurant you love?'' Mark asked Lexie over the phone. Tonight was the last night they had together before Lexie and George was flying home to Boston the next morning.
''Yeah sure. I'm almost done packing, you can pick us up and then we'll order on our way back to your place?'' Lexie answered while looking for her phone charger in the guest room she and George had lived in lately.
''Sounds good. I'll be there in fifteen?''
''See you.'' And then she hung up.
She was just putting down the last pile of clothes into the bag when she heard the doorbell and someone opened it and she heard Mark's voice. And she realized how much she'd miss that voice. She took her bags and walked out to the hall where Mark and Meredith were talking.
''Hi babe.'' Lexie said and gave Mark a kiss and he wrapped his arms around her. ''Mer, have you seen George?''
''Yes, he's in Zola's room.'' Meredith said and smiled when she saw how happy her sister was with Mark, and how happy he was with her.
''Okay, I'll go get him.'' And she kissed Mark again before she left.
''You guys look really happy together.'' Meredith said and looked at Mark.
''I've never been this happy in my entire life.'' And just when he said those words he realized how much he meant it.
''Hi George!'' Mark said when the boy came running towards him and he picked him up for a hug. ''How are you today?''
''Car.'' George said and gave Mark a little red toy car.
''Isn't that the car I gave you a few days ago? Yes it is. Do you like it?'' Mark asked him and his answer was just a little nod.
''George, you have to put your clothes on and then we're having a sleepover at Mark's place and tomorrow we're going back to Boston. So you have to say good bye to Aunt Meredith and your cousins okay?''
Mark helped him put on his clothes and then he said good bye to his cousins and hugged them.
''Good bye, George. I hope you have a fun last night with your parents and that you'll come back soon. I'm going to miss you.'' Meredith kissed and hugged her nephew for a long time before she put him down and hugged her sister instead.
''Thanks for having us here, Meredith. It has been fun, I'm going to miss all of you.''
''It's nothing, Lexie. You can come back anytime and you know it.'' And then she whispered ''and now you have another reason to come back, that man won't leave you ever again. I know it.''
Lexie smiled at what Meredith just said, because she knew it was true. It didn't matter how many miles it was between them. They'd survive it, they were meant to be.
''Are we ready to leave?'' Mark said after watching the two women hug for a very long time.
''I think so. I'll call you when we get home tomorrow, okay?'' Lexie said to her sister and then she took George's hand and they left the house.
''Okay so nothing in this world is better than Mr. Kwon's noodles, I swear!'' Lexie said a few hours later when she had finished a big portion of noodles and chicken.
''I have to agree with you.'' Mark said while laughing at how cute his girl and her love for Chinese food was.
''What are we going to do tonight? Our last night together?'' Lexie asked.
''I don't know. What do you want to do?'' And he kissed her.
''You decide.'' And she kissed him back.
''Can't we just talk and then go to bed?''
''Sure.'' And she laid her head on his knee and held his hand.
''We've had an amazing week, right?'' He said and smiled when he thought about everything they had done.
''Yes. I've missed you so much these last years when I've been in Boston and before that when we were broken up.''
''I've missed you too, so much. And I'll never ever let anything come between us again.'' And he leaned down to kiss her again and she kissed him back.
''I don't know how I'll survive without you. This may sound silly since we've only been together for about a week. But we've been together before. And I've been in love with you ever since that day when I came to your place and asked you to 'teach me'.''
''That feels like forever ago. I love you, Lexie Grey.''
Lexie's eyes got all teary when she heard what Mark said. ''And I love you, Mark Sloan.'' And then she kissed him.
They just sat in the sofa quiet for a while before Mark said ''should we go to bed? We have to get up early tomorrow.'' When he didn't get an answer he looked down on her and saw that she had fallen asleep in his lap. He carried her into the bedroom and put her in his bed and laid down next to her. He looked at her and brushed a few strands of her hair behind her ear and kissed her goodnight before he fell asleep.
''Mommy? Daddy?'' Sofia? Is Sofia here? ''Moooommy!'' No, it's George.
''Hi sweetie. Your mommy is still asleep, should we wake her up?'' George nodded.
Mark kissed Lexie on her forehead ''Good morning, babe.''
''I want to sleep.'' Lexie said and rolled over. Mark looked at the clock, it was only 6:30am, so she could sleep for another 30 minutes. So he just went into the kitchen with George and started to make breakfast.
''So what do you want to eat. Egg? Bacon? Sandwich?''
''Bacon!''
''Ah, that's my favorite too. It's so good right?''
25 minutes later he had made bacon, fixed the table, made fresh pressed orange juice and made some sandwiches.
''George, can you go and tell mommy that it's breakfast?'' A few minutes later Lexie walked into the room with her son in her arms.
''Hello sunshine.'' Mark said and gave her a kiss.
''Good morning.'' She answered and kissed him back, ''bacon? That's my favorite!''
''Mine too! And George wanted it.''
''Yes, he's a little bacon lover. That's like one of the first things he ate except for baby food. What time is it?''
Mark laughed at the story she just told him, ''that's cute. It's uh 7.04. What time is the plane leaving?''
''10. So we have to leave the apartment 8.30, I think.''
''Okay, we better start eat and pack then.''
And so they did. They ate, showered, got dressed, packed and then drove to the airport. They got there 9.10, so they had enough time to check in and stuff.
''George. You and I are going home to Boston now, so you have to say good bye to daddy. But we are going here again, and maybe he's coming to us too. But we'll talk to him on Skype and we'll call him almost every day okay?''
''I'm going to miss you, kid. But we'll see each other soon I hope and we'll talk like your mom said.'' Mark said and kissed and hugged his son.
''I'll call you when we're in Boston. Oh God, I'm going to miss you so much,'' Lexie said and took Mark's face in her hands and kissed him ''and I love you, so incredibly much.''
''I love you too. I don't know how I'm going to get through the days without seeing your beautiful face every day.''
''We'll survive a long distant relationship, I just know it. We're older and we're stronger, and we now have another reason for staying together,'' But she was interrupted
''Passengers for Flight 348 to Boston have 10 minutes left to go through the security check, 10 minutes.''
''we have to go. I love you.'' She said and kissed him again. She took her bags and started to walk and then she looked back and George waved good bye.
''I love you too!'' And then he saw them become smaller and smaller until they were gone.
This was the longest chapter I've written so far. The first I love you' and a good bye. What do you think of this chapter? And should I continue the story? Please review!
