A/N: Ok so this is the second time I write this chapter... I was like half way through with it and I don't know what happened and it closed up and I hadn't saved it! This won't be as good as I had originally written it, but I truly hope you enjoy it:)

P.S I also know that I'm making a mess with the timing, but if you guys understand it then whatever because I just realized that I never really told you when this takes place, but whatever...

It's Time

January:

Since Mid-January Chief Webber had decided to put Lexie on her maternity leave. Things had started getting complicated for her, from simply tying her shoes, to pushing a wheel chair around the hospital.

Lexie had been mad at his decision, but Mark was extremely glad about it. Of course he enjoyed having Lexie around to pull him into an On-Call room in between surgeries, just talking to her about the wedding and the preparations for when the baby came, but he felt it was time for Lexie to take a break from work.

Now she spent everyday at home, mostly she was alone but she would call someone occasionally to hang out with around the house. She had also called Jane, Lexie and her had become good friends ever since her visit to New York, and now was planning on flying over to Seattle to meet the baby as soon as he was born. Lexie also spoke to Diane on a daily basis, Alex had told her that she was actually improving much more than expected and that it was probable that she would be able to get the lungs and get cured.

Lexie was now laying on her bed watching TV when there was a knock on the door.

"Hey!" Alex said.

Lexie smiled, "Hi! How have you been? You were AWOL last night!" Lexie exclaimed, the smile was still on her face. She moved more the the side of the bed and motioned for Alex to lay next to her.

"Sorry, I was in and out of surgery until a few hours ago... Dude crashed his car into a lighting pole and his whole body got completely deformed. Apparently he was almost twenty miles over on a road where the limit is 124 miles per hour, we had to operate on his daughter who was in the back seat with no seatbelt." He explained.

Lexie winced at the image in her mind, "Ouch!" She exclaimed and Alex nodded, "What's the prognosis?"

Alex shook his head, "We're waiting for her dad to wake up–if he does–to pull the plug."

Lexie nodded comprehensively, "That sucks... Anyway I don't want to get depressed right now, I called you over to show you the dress you'll be wearing for the wedding." She said grabbing her phone and looking through the pictures.

Alex eyes widened, "What? No! I'm not wearing a dress! Not a chance!" he said.

Lexie began giggling as she passed him over the phone, "Not a dress..." She told him, "Ok so it's going to be a spring wedding, almost summer, so I decided on using a lightish gray and lavender for the colors. The guy's suits are grey with white shirt, but the undervests and the ties are lavender." She explained handing him the phone. "What do you think?"

Alex eyed the suit, he had thought they would be more girly and that Lexie would make the whole wedding be pink or some other girly color but he actually liked it a lot, "I think I'm going to sound gay saying this, but I think that us guys are going to look hot." he said smiling at Lexie.

She nodded, "I think that yeah... You guys will look amazing, and no you didn't sound that gay." she said smirking making Alex roll his eyes.

"Are the suits ready then?" he asked, he had thought that Lexie would wait for the wedding date to get nearer before getting the suits ready.

Lexie shook her head, "No this one I asked a tailor to do it because I wanted Mark to use this one, but he is going to use gray and white... gray makes his eyes look amazing." she explained, "The bridesmaids and the best man are going to use a lavender dress–shortish, strapless– they look totally amazing!"

"Amazing is like your favorite word right now, huh?" Alex noted.

She rolled her eyes, "I've been watching all of this daytime television and some primetime girly shows cut me some slack. Plus infomercials don't help matter wise."

"Excuses." he scoffed causing Lexie to hit him with a pillow.

February:

"Hey!" Meredith said as she saw Lexie at the main entrance of the hospital just sitting at the waiting area. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be on bed rest?" she asked quickly.

Lexie scoffed, "It's Valentine's Day! I get to go out on this day at least." She said. "Mark wanted to meet me here, and I also figured I could come in to see how far behind I am." She told her older sister.

"Please, you can't be far behind! I actually caught Derek and Chief Webber talking about how you should be taking the boards with the rest of us." Meredith said.

"Nah... Too much studying to do while carrying an extra twenty-five pounds." Lexie said.

Meredith nodded and sat next to her sister, "How are you feeling?"

"Like I could start pushing any second." Lexie replied, "I know it sounds horrible, but seriously? I still have a little less than eight weeks ahead of me! I can't wait that long to meet him!" Meredith nodded, "And not only that, but I'm dying to come back to work as soon as possible."

Mark approached them, "Ready to go?" He asked.

Lexie nodded. She said goodbye to Meredith and headed to Mark's car hand in hand.

After a while of driving she asked, "So where are we going?"

Mark smirked but remained silent.

"You're not planning on telling me?" She asked.

Once again she was greeted by his silence.

"Fine." she exhaled.

That day Lexie had been surprised by Mark taking her to a B&B where they pretty much spent every minute of it having sex. Lexie had felt horrible because she knew her stamina wasn't enough to keep up with Mark at that moment, but she had promised him that as soon as they could have sex again she was going to pay him back.

Once they got back home the following day Lexie decided it was a good idea to pack the bag for the hospital because on their way back to their house she began feeling some discomfort which she could only explain as Braxton Hicks. Of course she had been feeling them pretty much all along the pregnancy, but they were definitely beginning to get a little unbearable.

The following week Meredith and April helped plan Lexie a small baby shower. Lexie kept telling them she didn't need one, but they did it anyway.

At least it was a good idea because she got to see her friends and some co-workers.

She learned that April and Jackson were dating and that Alex, Izzie, and Nicholas were planning on moving to a house down the street from theirs. She also heard that Arizona had been offered a job in Spain, but they were still discussing it since it would be complicated for Callie, Mark, and Sophia.

Lexie definitely enjoyed her baby shower more than she expected it.

March:

"I'm so tired." Lexie told Mark quietly as she snuggled against his body.

They had finally been able to have some decent sex. Probably more than decent since Mark found it easier to have sex sideways and Lexie on the bed or table while he stood up.

Mark smirked at her comment, "It's only seven in the afternoon, I thought you were better than that." lexie bit his arm, "Ow! What was that for?" He asked.

"For calling me a wuss." She said laughing when she saw her teeth slightly marked on his arm. "You taste good." she said standing up to go to the bathroom.

"What are you doing?" he asked her. "And I didn't call you that by the way."

"Whatever." she said, "I need to pee."

When she came back to the bed she snuggled back with him, "I am really uncomf–" she stopped in mid sentence.

Mark sat down in the bed looking towards her, "Are you okay?" he asked.

She looked up at him, "I think my water just broke." she said quietly but quickly.

Mark eyes widened, he knew they still had more than a month before this began happening, "Are you sure? I mean–"

"Yes Mark I'm sure!" she barked, "My water just broke and I've been having contractions for a few hours already." she told him using the same tone and volume.

Mark stood up as fast as he could to grab some clothes for both of them. As soon as he was dressed he helped Lexie get dressed and grabbed the bag as he took her to the car.

In the car ride they kept discussing about the baby coming before Lexie started crying.

"What's wrong now?" Mark asked loudly.

Lexie shook her head, "It's too early Mark! What if something's wrong? What if we did something wrong? maybe the sex was too much and the baby is coming now and it's too early! This is too soon! We still had five more weeks and he's coming now!" She cried.

"Lexie!" He said loudly to bring her back to normal. She looked at him and he realized she was panting and was slightly pale. "I need you to calm down now because we have nothing to worry about right now." He said parking the car by the emergency room and grabbing a wheel chair as he called for Dr. Napolitano to be ready for Lexie in the maternity wing.

Once in the room the nurse and Dr. Napolitano entered to check on Lexie, "You are eight centimeters dilated." She said, "How long have you been in labor?"

"Almost two hours," Lexie said panting.

"Ok I need you to call the resident on-call and tell them to hurry because she will be ready to push in a few more minutes." Dr. Napolitano ordered the nurse.

Lexie sat down on the stirrups as far as she could, "Wait. What? What about the drugs? I need my drugs!"

"I'm sorry Lexie, but the anesthesiologist on-call for maternity is currently in a crash c-section." She said giving Lexie's hand a small squeeze. "I'm sorry, but you'll have to do it without it this time."

Lexie looked at Mark who was getting on on the stirrups to be behind her, "I need my drugs now or no more babies for you Mark Sloan!" she yelled.

"Lexie you heard Dr. Napolitano," Mark told her, "we are too late for that. You should've told me as soon as the contractions started getting worse." he told her quietly.

"I can't do this!" she exclaimed as she saw Izzie entering the room with the gown and gloves on, "Where is Dr. Napolitano?"

"She is coming." Izzie told her, "I told her that I should just watch and not attend this one since you may not feel so comfortable. She's getting ready don't worry."

Lexie glared at her, "How can I not be worried! My baby is five weeks early! Almost six!" She looked back at Mark, "I can't do this! I really can't. I'm not ready to be a mom. I don't want to be a mom. At least not now. I want to go back to the time there was no Sloan and just you and I. I don't want babies. This is not my plan. I can't do this–"

"Lexie shut up!" Mark said loudly, "Want a baby or not he's on his way and we can't do anything about it. You are almost ready to start pushing, you can't back down on me now." Mark whispered kissing her head.

Dr. Napolitano entered and she was right. Lexie was ready to begin pushing ten minutes after that.

"Come on Lexie, one big push to get his shoulders out and then it's downhill from there." The obstetrician encouraged.

Lexie nodded, then inhaled deeply and gave a big last push.

"There he is" said the OB.

The room wasn't filled with much noises because the baby's lungs were slightly underdeveloped. They could hear some sobbing, which gave both, Mark and Lexie comfort that their baby boy would be fine.

Dr. Napolitano smiled at them, "Does daddy want to come cut the umbilical chord?"

He nodded as he got down from the stirrups and went towards his son.

My first son. He thought as he looked down at the peaceful baby boy.

The nurses came in with the incubator and began getting him ready to leave.

"Do you have a name for him?" Izzie asked

Both Mark and Lexie nodded

"We do." Mark said as he walked over to where their son was to give the name to the nurses.

Izzie smiled at Lexie, "You did great." She said softly.

"I'm sorry for what I said earlier–"

Izzie waved her hand, "Don't worry... You were scared about your baby and it was completely normal. Plus, it's not like we have the best friendship."

Lexie nodded softly as she began to doze off to sleep, "Mark, go with the baby." she mumbled as she finally was able to fall asleep.
