Summary: Mark and Izzie try to hide their relationship. It's been over one year since our favorite interns became residents. Burke is no longer in Seattle. Christina and Alex are roommates in a two bedroom apartment (even though they still don't really get along), which is quite nice. George is at Mercy West. Callie went with George. She still has no idea about what happened with Izzie and George, which isn't important now. Derek is chief. Since Christina and Alex are roommates, leaving Meredith and Izzie to be roommates. Meredith and Derek are back to being a couple, and quite happy. The drama now is about the secrecy of Mark and Izzie's relationship.

2 weeks later

Mark was sitting at his desk, staring at his computer screen when he heard a knock at his office door. "Come in!"

Lexie opened the door and looked at Mark. She was confused, she wasn't his intern. "You paged?"

Mark nodded. "Close the door. I need your opinion on something."

Lexie furrowed her eyebrows with confusion, but did what she was asked. She walked over to his desk. "What do you need my opinion about?" Was it about Izzie? He wouldn't need an opinion about a patient from her.

Mark pointed his finger to his computer screen. He had uploaded the photos up his top three to the computer, he wasn't sure what Izzie would like best. "What do you think Izzie would like best?"

Lexie walked around his desk to look at his computer screen, and when she did, her eyes widened and she smiled with a squeal. "You're going to ask Izzie to marry you?!" Lexie asked as she continued to look at the rings on the screen.

"Not right now, I'm thinking about it, and when I do, I want to have the right ring." Mark said glancing back at the computer screen. The rings were simple, but still beautiful and classic looking. That's what Izzie likes.

"Aw." Lexie said glancing at Mark. She looked back at the rings. "Wow, these are nice, very classic."

Mark nodded. "Well, that's what Izzie likes." Lexie glanced at Mark smiling. Mark looked at her a little confused. "What?"

Lexie's smile softened ay him. "Izzie's lucky to have you. You two are so in love, it's cute, and you even know what kind of rings she likes. Perfect."

Mark smiled and glanced at the rings. "All relationships aren't perfect, no matter how much you want them to be."

Lexie shook her head. "If two people are in love, even if they have problems, if they work through them, the relationship is perfect." She said with a smile.

Mark glanced at Lexie. "So, are you and Alex in a 'perfect' relationship."

"To soon to tell." Lexie said examining the rings with her eyes.

Mark chuckled. "So, which one do you think she'll like best?"

Lexie continued to look at the rings for a few moments. She pointed to the one in the middle. "That one. It's very Izzie like."

"You sure?"

"Positive, the other two are classic too, but this one has something about it that just screams 'Izzie.'" Lexie said with a smile.

Mark smiled looking at the computer screen, at that ring, it did scream 'Izzie.' "Thanks, now I now what ring to get her."

"No problem." Lexie smiled and looked at him. "So, you're not sure when you're going to, but you are definitely going to propose to her?" She asked wanting to know.

Mark nodded. "Yeah, I'm not sure when, but I'm hoping that everyone will know about the relationship when I do."

Lexie smiled once again. "Only time will tell." Her pager went off. She looked down at it. "I have to go." Lexie smiled at him once more. "I'm happy for the both of you."

Mark smiled at her. "Thanks Lexie."

"No problem." Lexie smiled once more before exiting his office.

Mark looked at the ring that he was going to buy for his girlfriend. He still wasn't sure when and where he was going to propose, but he was going to, he was going to make sure of it, if people know it or not, he will.

thirty minutes later

Lexie walked to the nurses station where Izzie was filling out a chart. She stood next to her smiling happily at her.

Izzie glanced over at Lexie and smiled. "What is it?"

Lexie continued to smile. "Nothing."

Izzie let out a light laugh. "Okay." She looked down and continued to finish filling out the chart. When she was done, she closed it and turned, seeing Lexie was still there, she jumped. "What is it?"

Lexie tried not to smile, but she couldn't help it. "Nothing." She said with a small shrug.

Izzie furrowed her eyebrows. "Sure…" She turned and walked away to patients room.

"Hey." Lexie heard someone say behind her.

She was still smiling. "Hey! Isn't love grand?" Lexie asked the man in front of her.

Alex looked at her curiously. "Yeah, but why-"

Lexie cut him off. "I got to go." She leaned over and kissed his cheek before walking away.

Alex watched her walk away. "What the hell?" He muttered to himself not sure at all what that was about.

Later on, Lexie walked into the elevator where her person was already in it. She smiled and walked in. "Hi!" She said like she was carrying on the word 'aw.' The elevator doors closed.

Izzie looked over at Lexie and smiled. "Hey."

"You two are perfect for each other, perfect."

Izzie furrowed her eyes curiously and laughed a little. "Thanks."

"I'm so happy for you."

Izzie laughed lightly and looked at Lexie. "What is up with you today?"

Lexie shook her head smiling. "Nothing, nothing at all." The elevator doors opened revealing a Derek Shepard and Mark Sloan.

"Hey." Derek said as he and Mark entered the elevator.

Mark gave Izzie a small wink as he and Derek walked in the back of the elevator. The elevator doors closed. "How are you two doing today?" Mark asked casually.

"Good, and you?" Izzie answered not looking in back of her, but it didn't stop the smile that formed on her face.

Mark smiled. "Good."

Lexie turned so she could look at both Mark and Izzie, smiling. She stopped herself from saying the long version of 'aw,' because Derek was there.

Derek looked at Lexie a little worried. "Are you okay?"

Lexie glanced at Derek with a smile. "Fine, perfectly fine." She sighed contently as the elevator doors opened. "I'll talk to you all later." She smiled at Izzie and Mark one last time for the day.

Izzie looked at her confused as she walked out. She looked at Derek and Mark and shrugged as she walked out the elevator herself.

The elevator doors closed as Derek looked at Mark. "What was that about?" He asked.

Mark shrugged. "No clue." He lied, he knew it was because she knew about the ring, and that he wanted to propose to Izzie. He knew that she might act a little differently, but he had no idea whatsoever that she was going to go all perky on everyone. It wasn't just different, it was a little, no, very strange.
