"Turn. It. Off." Lexie said with a groan at the sound of the alarm clock. Reaching over Mark swatted at the alarm clock until it finally stopped. "Thank you." She said as she curled up closer to Mark.

"Lex we got to get up."

"Five more minutes." She mumbled still not bothering to move. She had been up with Stevie half the night. She refused to sleep more than an hour at a time. Lexie had finally managed to get her to sleep at three in the morning by rocking her.

"We have to take the girls to Meredith and Derek's so we can go see the lawyer."

Lexie let out a huff before she sat up. "You're showering by yourself this morning." She told Mark angrily as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

"What? Why?" Jumping out of bed Mark followed Lexie to the bathroom only to get the door shut in his face.

"Because you wouldn't let me sleep for five more minutes."

"Fine." Mark grumbled as he went to go get the girls ready for the day.

It took them nearly two hours before they were finally ready to leave this house. Mark changed and feed the girls while Lexie took a shower. Once she was out Lexie burped both girls and then changed their diapers for the second time. She dressed them in cute matching onesies with purple sweat pants, then she placed them in their swings so she could finish getting ready and pack there diaper bag.

As if there wasn't enough to pack for one baby two was double the work. Lexie had to make sure there were enough diapers and extra clothes and spit up rags for both the girls. Then she had to make sure there were enough milk and bottles. They were only going to be gone three hours tops but that didn't mean the girls wouldn't be hungry. Next she had to make sure she packed an extra binky for each of them as well as a few toys.

"Will you go put their portable swings in the car?" Lexie asked Mark as she buckled each girl into their car seats and tucked a blanket over them. Brooklyn automatically began to fuss. "Brook, don't cry." Lexie told her as she stuck her pinky in her mouth. "We're gonna go for a car ride and then you're going to spend the rest of the morning with your Aunt Meredith and Uncle Derek."

"Alight everything is loaded into the car." Mark said as he walked back inside.

After dropping the twins off at Meredith and Derek's they headed to the lawyers. Lexie just wanted to get the day over with so she could get back to her girls. She hated all of this and couldn't wait for the trail to be over with.

"Nervous?" Mark asked as he reached over and grabbed her hand while he drove.

Lexie shrugged. "I'm just ready for this to be over with."

"It will be soon."

"How are my two favorite girls?" Lexie asked as she walked through Meredith's entrance way and into the living room. Both the girls were sprawled out on their back on a blanket. Stevie was squirming while Brooklyn was just looking around. Lexie ignored Meredith and Derek's stares as she picked up Stevie and hugged her. "Mommy missed you today. She missed you too Brook." She said as she rubbed Brooklyn's hair.

Derek walked over to where Mark was leaning against the wall. "How did it go today? Lexie seems awful cheerful." He said as he watched her talk to Meredith and play with the girls.

"This was the longest she has been away from them since they were born." Mark explained. "And I think it went pretty good. They are going to be keeping in touch on when the hearing will be but our lawyer things they have enough evidence against the guy to keep him locked up from a very long time. Apparently this wasn't the first robbery he has committed."

"Well if you guys need anything you know were here for you." Derek said as he patted Marks shoulder before heading to the kitchen. "Want a beer?"

"I would love one."

Mark and Lexie spent the rest of the afternoon over at Meredith and Derek's. It was nice to just hang out and not have to worry about the trial or their jobs. Derek and Mark drank a few beers and watched the game while Lexie and Meredith gushed over how cute the babies were with a glass of wine in hand. It's funny how now that Lexie was a mom, tequila was no longer her drink of choice. She would much rather have a glass of wine here or there.

"Today was fun." Lexie told Mark as she sat in one of the rockers, rocking Brooklyn to sleep. Mark had just but Stevie in her crib.

"It was." He told her as he kissed the top of her head and went over to the changing table to empty out the diaper been. "I was thinking that after the trial is over with maybe we could go away for a weekend."

Lexie looked down at Brook. "I don't know Mark. The girls will only be a couple months old."

"Just think about it. It doesn't even have to be a weekend, just a night."

Lexie nodded. "I'll think about it."

Mark smiled. "Good. Now why don't you put that little bundle of joy in her crib so we can get some shut eye of our own?"

"Sounds perfect."

Lexie gently laid Brooklyn down in her crib making sure she was wrapped up tightly. She looked like a little purple caterpillar in her blanket. "Mommy loves you." She said kissing her forehead. Lexie checked the camera to the baby monitor to make sure it was on and then walked over to Stevie's crib doing the same. "Sweet dreams baby girl."

Lexie walked into their bedroom to find Mark already dressed for bed. Well more like undressed. Lexie slipped out of her clothes and put on one of his t-shirts before crawling in next to him.

"Love you." Mark told her as he turned off the table lamp before pulling her close.

"Love you too." Lexie said as she laid her head on his chest and curled up next to him.
