It wasn't too long after Lexie got home from shopping for maternity clothes with Izzie and Addison that Mark had come home from the hospital. Lexie was unaware that Mark was standing in the doorway watching her remove the maternity clothes from the bags.
"Did you buy the entire store?" Mark asked as Lexie jumped a little from being startled by his voice.
"Didn't mean to startle you," he added before she was even able to answer his first question.
"No I didn't. But I still need to go shopping for more," Mark heard her comment and looked around their bedroom that was filled with bags, wondering why she had to go back shopping. It seemed to him that she had gotten everything she could possibly need for a while.
"I don't think you do, Lex."
"Well see that's where you're wrong."
"How so?"
"See, I completely forgot to buy stuff to sleep in."
"You can sleep in my shirts. I love seeing them on you."
"But I still want something else to sleep in at times." Lexie said to him as he gave her an okay.
"Plus, I can put on another fashion show for you." Lexie said to him.
Normally he would run in the opposite direction if he heard her mention fashion show but hearing her mention she can put on another fashion show he was actually excited about this.
"Another one? I haven't seen the first one yet, so…"
"So be patient, because you will tonight." Lexie told him as she continued with the clothes.
"I am patient. If I wasn't I would make the baby be full grown so I can see my daughter or son." Lexie let out a little chuckle at his comment.
"I see."
"You see what?"
"You want a daughter."
"I want a healthy child, but I would like a son."
"I do too but you so want a daughter." Lexie said teasing him since he had said daughter before son, even though she knew it didn't' have that much meaning which one he said first.
"We can have a daughter a few years later and then she can have an older brother to protect her." Mark suggested as Lexie stopped taking out the clothes and let the distance between them slowly become smaller.
"She'll have you wrapped around her little finger." Lexie added as the thought of this image made her smile. She would love to see that happen.
"That might be true. But she will have the older brother to fend off the guys when I'm not around, since she won't be allowed to date until she is 35." Mark said.
"Oh I can't wait to see this happen." Lexie said to him, as there was no more distance between them.
"You should sit on the bed. So I can give you the first fashion show." Lexie said as Mark could feel the hot air upon his skin when she spoke.
Mark did this and Lexie took a pile of clothes that were laying on the bed and went to the bathroom. She quickly changed out of what she had on and put on the first outfit and then made her way back into the main area of the bedroom for Mark to see her in the first time maternity clothing.
Mark told her how lovely she looked before she reentered the bathroom and tried on another outfit and then remerged in the bedroom again. This happened about a handful times until she got to the last outfit.
"I think you will love this one the best," Lexie called out to him from the bathroom as she finished putting on the outfit.
Mark turned his attention to the bathroom door when he heard her open the door. She waited a few seconds before coming out, so the anticipation for him could grow only more. When Lexie came out Mark's face instantly went to a smile, something that was still a rare thing to be seen.
"You're right, I do love this one the best. But I still love the other ones," Mark said as Lexie walked over to him, in a nice black dress, that was a little on the fancy side, and one might think it was lingerie for mothers-to-be.
"You look so beautiful and sexy gorgeous," Mark told her as he pulled her into him.
Lexie didn't have to say anything to his comment, because the smile on her face was enough for him to know, how he just made her feel like a million bucks. A moment later it was if they read each other's minds, since Mark's hands were moving the straps to the dress down her shoulders slowly, sending these Goosebumps throughout her body.
Lexie quickly moved her hands to his shirt and slowly pulled it over his head, causing him to stop moving her dress straps down off her shoulders. However, when she completely removed, he continued to move the straps down. Mark however prevented the dress from falling the to floor, instead he put his hands on each side of her body and slowly moved it down, eventually letting it fall.
Before Lexie moved her hands towards his pants, so she could unbutton them, she embraced him with a kiss. Before they both knew it Lexie was on the bed and the heat from their bodies were quickly rising so fast, if they were able to they would be able to set the room on fire. Soon enough his pants were off. Mark was careful and gentle with her when they were making love. As their tongues moved in unison, they continued making love, causing their body heat to evaluate.
"That was something else," Lexie spoke after they finished. But Mark didn't say anything or nod his head or anything. But Lexie assumed he felt what she felt.
Lexie was happier now that she was in her second week of her second trimester. She was so ecstatic that she was getting her energy back and the morning sickness was gone. She felt she was back in the routine of things as she was doing more surgeries again, having decided to take it slow when her morning sickness intensified.
After Lexie finished scrubbing out, she went to inform the patient's family that all went well and that they can go visit but just for a few minutes. After she finished that, Lexie walked towards the nurses station but before she could even make it all the way there, Izzie and Meredith were greeting her. Lexie was able to tell easily that Izzie was up to something.
"You need a baby shower?" Izzie asked Lexie with a smile on her face.
"Yes," Lexie said for some reason she spoke the answer to Izzie's question hesitantly.
"Wonderful. Do you mind if I throw you two baby showers?" Izzie asked as Lexie looked Meredith confused and then looked back at Izzie.
"I don't mind you throwing it but Iz why two showers?" Lexie asked curiously although she wasn't opposed to having to nor was she all for it.
"Well here was what I was thinking, we do the first one as the traditional baby shower so to speak, but it be more of a girls night than a traditional baby shower. Then the second one I can be the actual baby shower." Izzie informed Lexie of the idea and Lexie eyes light up at the idea.
"I like that but Molly, Eric, and Laura aren't coming in until about four weeks now. Which is when Carolyn is also coming in. That's when we thought of doing the family get together, so I won't lose my mind completely different times." Lexie said as a small chuckle escaped from her.
"Perfect we can do the second then and if you want we can make it a mom and dad baby shower?"
"I'll ask Mark about that, he'll say yes for me but let me ask him." Lexie said, as she was happy at the thought of this.
"Lexie, can you give us a list of the stores you register at for the baby?" Meredith asked her sister as Izzie enlisted and insisted that she help her plan this.
"Crap, we haven't yet," Lexie, said as she realized that they have to do this soon. There was a brief moment of silence between all three of them.
"Meredith can you help gather a list of different stores please, so Mark and I can start registering?" Lexie asked her sister, and she released a sigh of relief when she saw Meredith nod her head, agreeing to help her.
"How soon would you want to do the girls night slash baby shower, Lex?"
"Whenever you finish setting it up Izzie."
"How about Saturday?"
"That's good," Lexie told her.
"Perfect." Izzie spoke with excitement.
Just than one of the pagers went off and they all looked to see which one of them was being paged.
"I'll catch you later, Mark's paging me. Mer later can you help me please," Lexie said as she disappeared from their sight before Meredith could give her an answer.
