Chpt. 12.
Once Lexie had fallen asleep Meredith knew what she had to do. She knew it was a little bit unfair but she had to know.
"Hey, is Lexie okay?" Arizona asked.
"Yeah, she will be. She's pregnant and she was scared."
"I knew it."
"Yeah, she told me everything. She doesn't want to tell him though."
"Mark needs to know."
"MARK?" Meredith exclaimed in shock.
"Um.. I um.. I thought she told you everything."
"Are you telling me that Mark and Lexie?'
"Yeah, um.. for a while. She loves him."
"Yeah, well I knew this would happen. This is exactly why I wanted him to stay away from her. Now she's pregnant with his baby and possibly Addisons."
"We just need to be there for her." Arizona said trying to calm Meredith down.
"I will." she said and left.
As she was leaving she got a call from Derek.
"Hey you. I have great news. Can you meet me?"
"Yeah, I need to talk to you too."
"Meet me at Joe's."
"So what do you want to tell me?" Derek asked once Meredith sat down.
"First tell me your great news. I need some right about now."
"I'm not the father."
"She got the test?'
"No, but she does know how far along she is and there is no way possible I could be the father. I hadn't been with her since way before that picnic."
"Oh, well that is great." she said.
"Hey, what's wrong? I thought you would be happy."
"I am Derek. I really am. But I found out something today."
"What's that?"
"Lexie is pregnant and you will never guess who the father is."
"I didn't even know she was seeing anyone."
"Neither did I. But I found out today."
"Who is it?"
"Mark."
"Mark? Can't be. He swore to me he would stay away from Lex."
"Well guess what? He lied."
"I'm going to kill him." Derek said.
Before he could say anything else he seen Mark walk into the bar. Derek's anger got the best of him and he immediately walked over and punched Mark in the face.
"What the hell?"
"You are one piece of work." Derek said angrily as he threw another punch.
"What is going on with you? You told me you were done with Addison. I thought you would be happy that you know the baby wasn't yours. This way you could be with Meredith free and clear."
"You swore. You swore to me you would stay away from her and you did it anyways. How could you? Can you not keep your dick in your own pants? You just have to get everyone pregnant."
Meredith grabbed Derek before he could tell Mark about Lexie. She had promised she would not say anything. "Derek let's go." she said as she grabbed his arm and they left.
Mark watched them leave. He didn't understand where Derek's anger was coming from. He sat down at the bar and ordered a scotch. He sat there going over what had just happened as he put a napkin against the busted lip. It made no sense to him. Derek should not be angry about Addison being pregnant with his child. He even gave him the go ahead. In fact the only person he swore to stay away from was Lexie.
"Shit." he said to himself. Derek knows about Lexie. But how?" he wondered. The he remembered what Derek said about everyone getting pregnant. It hit him then like a punch to the stomach. "FUCK." he said loudly. "Lexie's pregnant. That's why she was sick." he said to himself. He threw some money on the bar and left.
Lexie was laying down resting when she heard banging on the door.
"Lexie, let me in. You have to let me in. Why didn't you tell me baby?" she heard Mark outside saying.
She didn't make a sound. She just quietly sat there and cried.
"Lexie we can get through this. Please Lex let me in. This is my baby too."
When he said that she knew he had found out. She then silently cried at the betrayal she felt her sister had done.
Finally after about a half an hour it was silent. She quietly got up and packed her bag. She couldn't trust her sister anymore either. Once she had everything she left.
Mark went looking for Callie. He was walking down to the park where he knew she was when he ran into Addison.
"Hey, I just wanted you to know I aborted the baby. I could never have your child. You just would not make a good daddy. Besides it could have been Alex who got me pregnant."
"Alex?"
"Yeah, he's another guy I met."
"You say I would not make a good father but you did right about the abortion. No child should have a slut for a mother."
The next thing he knew he felt a hard slap to the face.
"Well it's not many women Addison that have potentially three fathers to their baby. What would you call her?" he said as he stormed off.
"Did you know?" he asked.
"Did I know what?"
"Did you know Lex was pregnant?"
"No, Lexie is pregnant?"
"I just found out. She's not answering her phone or her door. Do you know where she is?" he asked Arizona.
"I haven't seen her since this morning."
"Addison had an abortion and come to find out it may have been someone else to get her pregnant after all."
"This is just crazy." Callie said.
"I need to find Lex. She can't abort our child. She can't do what Addison did. Please you have to help me find her."
"I will Mark. I will." Arizona said reaching for her phone.
Lexie stared at the phone and seen Arizona calling. She was another that betrayed her. She wasn't supposed to tell Meredith anything. She closed her phone without answering it. She heard her flight number and went to board the plane. She looked out and said a quiet goodbye.
