Author's Note: Thank you all for the reviews, please keep them coming. Lexie is 18 weeks pregnant at the beginning and end of this chapter. I hope you all enjoy this. Reviews please.

After founding out that they were having twins the news of course went around the hospital as fast as it normally does. Lexie was getting congratulations from everyone even patients. While Izzie kept making things for the baby and Meredith told her when the time came she would give her anything for their daughter that Lizzie has outgrown.

But today for Lexie seemed to be a mixture of emotions. How she was looking forward to the baby shower Izzie had setup. But the whole family reunion and both families meeting each other, was something that she was nervous about. Then her mind would often think about her mom and how much she missed her and wished she was there for this moment.

"We should be leaving soon," Mark said coming out of the bathroom to see Lexie laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling.

Lexie turned her head to look at him. Not bothering to say a word to him, she motioned for him to come to her with her index finger. He was now standing in front of her dried off but just with the towel covering him up.

"How about you give me a kiss first," She told him as he leaned in to give her a kiss.

He started to kiss her and she pulled him onto the bed as the towel fell to the floor of their bedroom. The thought of not them not doing this crossed his mind but he pushed out it, as he slowly took off her top.

"I'm going to have to shower again," Mark said to her as he continued to remove her clothing.

"So," she said to him as she let their lips make contact again as she continued to slowly remove her clothing.

"We'll be late."

"And."

"That's not good."

"Mark?"

"Lexie."

"Hush." Mark listened to her and remained quiet as she asked.

Lexie pushed him off as she moved her hands to her stomach, while his face washed with panic.

"What?"

She didn't reply to him as she quickly grabbed his hands and placed them on her belly. His face light up as he felt what she was feeling.

"I felt our children kick," Mark said as Lexie's face light up also.

"I think that is their way of telling us to knock it off." Lexie said with a small chuckle.

"We should, Carolyn is waiting. Then we will go to the baby shower from the airport." Mark said as they both got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom to retake a shower together.

About a half hour later they were out the door and on the way to the airport. As they were driving Mark's phone rang but he was unable to get it so Lexie decided to pick it up.

"Hey Carolyn," Lexie said as she saw the caller id.

"Yes we are on the way." Lexie said at hearing Carolyn's question on the other end of the phone. A few minutes later Lexie hung up his cell.

"Everyone is going to know." Lexie said in reference to knowing the reason they are late.

"Who cares," Mark said as she turned his attention to his beautiful radiating wife.

"I don't care. Just as long as my father shows up sober I'll be happy."

"I know." Mark said as he continued to drive towards the airport.

It was about forty-five minutes later from when they first left the house to get to the airport. Once they got there Mark spotted Carolyn. He put the car in park and quickly got out and put her stuff in the trunk before opening the door to let her in.

It was than an hour drive back or so until they got to the location of the restaurant where Lexie and Mark had told Izzie to book the baby shower. Carolyn was the first one to enter the restaurant; Derek gave his mother a huge as the parents-to-be waited a few minutes before entering.

"Here goes," Lexie said as Mark opened and held the door open for her.

The minute everyone saw her and then Mark mere seconds later they all started cheering and clapping. Lexie was first greeted by her two nieces, Laura and Elizabeth; they both hugged her and than Mark before running back to Molly and Meredith. Lexie's attention was caught by some of the stuff in the restaurant of blue baby Yankee clothing.

"You have our son already a Yankee's fan and he isn't even born."

"You are right about that." Mark said as they walked more into the restaurant.

Lexie saw her father approaching her and Mark and she squeezed his hand a little bit as she signaled him with her eyes of her father approaching. Lexie felt nervous about this as normally Thatcher would show up drunk. Although, she knew deep down inside of her that if he had shown up Derek, her family would kick him, especially Derek, as Derek really took on the big brother role with Lexie.

"Congratulations Lexie," Thatcher said as she embraced his daughter in a hug.

"Thank you." Lexie said as she was still taken by the surprised of hearing him speak to her sober.

"Congratulations Mark," Thatcher said as she shook Mark's hand.

"Thank you sir," Mark said being polite and nice for Lexie and not causing a scene at the baby shower.

Moments later Thatcher left the couple, while Meredith, Molly, Eric and Derek approached them. Meredith and Molly whisked Lexie around from Mark while they went to talk to her for a moment while Eric and Derek talked with Mark for a moment.

"Are you okay," both Molly and Meredith asked her at the same time.

"I think so. He's sober." Lexie said as she was let the words come out.

"He is" Molly said as they all just watched him sit at a table and drink the soda that was in front of him. Before Lexie knew it, more people had come over to where herself, Molly, and Meredith where talking.

"Let's start the games," Izzie said to Lexie and a little loud as everyone heard and started to agree with this.

"Okay," Lexie said as she rejoined Mark.

They played a few games, some which were for everyone, while others were just for the woman and then the men. A few hours passed when they first started the games that they stopped to have food. After the food they decided to play two more games before opening up the gifts.

The first one they went to open was from Addison. Lexie opened the card and read it out loud to everyone and then saw a gift certificate to one of the stores they were registered at. Lexie showed Mark the amount and Lexie smiled at him.

"Thank you Addison." Lexie said before Izzie handed her the next gift and took Addison's card.

Lexie ripped off the gift wrap paper and opened the box to see a bunch of knitted clothes both of pink and blue, Lexie was left speechless that Mark looked over her shoulder. Mark looked at Izzie and gave her a nod.

"Izzie thank you so much for all this," Lexie said as she reached over and gave Izzie a hug.

They continued to open the gifts until they were down to the last four or five gifts left. Mark opened the card and this one being from Thatcher himself. Mark read the card silently and saw a check in the card and handed the card to Lexie with the check.

"Thanks dad," Lexie said after she read the card silently to herself before handing it off to Izzie.

"Derek I can't believe you." Lexie said after she read the card, she handed the card to Mark for him to read, as she pulled out the outfits to show everyone.

"Dude," Mark said but nothing else as Izzie handed her the last gift, which was from Molly, Eric, and Laura.

Lexie quickly ripped off the wrapping paper as tears filled her eyes and quickly fell down. Moments later she looked up to see Molly was now standing next to her.

"This is what mom." Lexie said as she held the baby blanket in her hands.

"It is. We thought you should have it." Molly said as she saw Lexie stand up from the chair and embrace her in the biggest hug ever.

"Thank you this is the best gift ever," Lexie said as everyone just watched the scene unfold. After the hug was broken she gave Mark a better look at what she was holding.

"This was something my mom made," Lexie said as she held the blanket close to herself.

Slowly the guests started to leave after things finished up at the restaurant with the baby shower. Derek and Eric both helped Mark put everything in the car and had to put some stuff in Derek's car. After they finished up inside the girls walked outside to see the guys.

"So we will all meet at your house?" Derek asked Mark and Lexie.

"Yes." Lexie said to them.

"See you all soon." Derek said as they got into their cars, while Derek had his mom come in their car since they filled Mark's car with most of the gifts leaving little room left.
