Sorry, about the late update, but I've been sick all week. So this has a lot more of the other characters, but I like the way this chapter turned out.
I don't own anything.
"Lexie…" Mark said impatiently.
"Mark!" She said turning around. "I've been on maternity leave for two months. I've spent practically every waking minute with them. I can't just leave them in the hospital daycare!"
"I've been working without you for two months. I think I should get you now. They're gonna be right downstairs. If you want we can spend our lunch break down here, we can, okay?"
"Okay." She said, even though she still had her hands around each of the girl's hands.
"Lexie, come on." He said coming behind her.
"Okay, fine." She said, turning to walk out the door. When she walked away Mark took her place.
She noticed he wasn't behind her; she then stopped and turned with her hands on her hips laughing. "Mark, I'm supposed to be the one who won't leave, not you. Come on!"
"Okay, okay." He said before he leaned down and kissed each of the girls on their foreheads. "Bye, Ladybug. Bye, Peanut. Daddy loves you."
For a minute he stopped and looked at them.
"Mark, they're in hospital daycare. We're going to be right upstairs. We'll see them in a few hours. They're not going to Europe for a month."
"Okay, I'm coming." He walked towards her and gently grabbed her hand and together walked to the elevator and back to their lives at the hospital.
…………………
The minute the clock hit noon Lexie and Mark quickly ate lunch and then went down to the daycare.
They left Izzie, Alex, Cristina, and Meredith laughing at the table.
Izzie popped a grape into her mouth and then looked at Alex's amused and somewhat confused expression.
"What?" He asked when he saw her staring at him.
"Tell me you're not going to act like that when we have to put this baby in hospital daycare. At least one of us is going to need to be sane and it's not going to be me."
"Point taken." He said smiling at her, but then frowned as his pager starting to go off.
"Shit." He said, looking at it. "I gotta go, love you Iz." He said quickly kissing Izzie and then running off.
"You guys suck." Cristina said angrily stabbing her salad with her fork.
"What do you mean we suck?" Meredith asked amused.
"You and Izzie and Lexie. Your all happily married and crap like that. It's really annoying."
"Are you sure you're not jealous?" Izzie asked smiling.
"Of what? While you guys are all being soccer moms I will be the greatest cardio goddess that ever walked the face of the earth."
"Sure, you will." Izzie said laughing as she and Meredith threw grapes at Cristina.
Both of their eyes widened with horror as Cristina started to grab her water bottle.
They looked at each other and said, "Run."
As Cristina chased them down them down the hall while they were laughing Mark and Lexie stepped out of the elevator.
"You have some crazy friends." Mark said watching as the women ran down the hall.
"At least they didn't try to diaper their daughter backwards." She said as her pager beeped.
"That was one time!" He said as she walked off.
She turned back around. "Two times!"
"You're the one who married the idiot!" He yelled back as she starting to walk back down the hallway.
"At least I'm not the idiot." She said turning back around.
Upon hearing this he went up to her and as she wrote in a chart, whispered in her ear, "I might be and idiot. But I did do one smart thing."
"And what might that be?" Lexie asked.
"Marry you." He said briefly kissing her before Bailey walked by and said, "Ya'll get to work. This ain't a kissing booth, it's a hospital."
