Lexie rolled out of bed first, and hopped in the shower, not before throwing a pillow in Mark's face and telling him to wake up the kiddos. Mark woke up with this pillow, and headed to go get the kids up.

Lexie hopped into the shower, letting the steam take over. Lexie shaved her legs, shampooed and conditioned her hair, washed her face and body, and eventually, after 30 minutes, got out of the shower. Hoping Mark was giving the kiddos baths, Lexie began to get ready.

Not wanting to put her whole outfit on, Lexie pulled on her red lace panties, Mark's favorite, and the matching bra, with a tank top, as she got ready. She quickly blew dry her hair, and curled it into loose waves. Just as she was finishing her makeup, Mark knocked on the bathroom door, waiting to be let in.

"Hey, babe, all the kids are bathed but I don't know what they're supposed to wear, so maybe grace us with your presence sometime?" Mark said, before opening the door.

His ice blue eyes sparkled when he saw what Lexie was wearing, and immediately went over to kiss his wife.

"God, Lex, you know I cannot handle when you wear those." Mark says huskily into her neck, and Lexie connects her lips to his, before straddling her body around his.

Just as Mark placed Lexie on the bathroom counter, a knock came at the bathroom door. Lexie pulled her face away from Mark's with a shocked look at her face.

"Alexa?" Lexie says, praying she just was imagining a knock.

"Can I come in? I need you to do my hair!" Alexa chirps out, and Lexie and Mark both share a panicked look.

Lexie grabs the robe that was hanging in the bathroom as an attempt to cover herself, just as Mark pulls on his shirt and the sweatpants he discarded a while ago. Stifling back a giggle, Lexie opened the door to Alexa.

"Hey, sweetie, can you give me like 10 more minutes? Mommy has to finish getting ready!" Lexie says, explaining to her daughter. Alexa nods and hurries back to the TV.

"You wanna pick up where we left off?" Mark says, just as his eyes sparkle.

"Some of us actually have to get ready!" Lexie says in protest, before showing him the door.

Giving her a pouty lip before he closed the door, Lexie burst out into giggles. After getting her makeup on, she pulled out the outfit she ordered from Revolve, a few weeks back.

It was this white turtleneck cashmere sweater, black leather skirt, and black bootie heels. Pulling on her accessories- her wedding rings, her beloved gold earrings, and the newest Cartier bracelet Mark had gotten her for her birthday a few weeks prior, and grabbing her Louis Vuitton purse to pack it full of snacks and things to occupy her kids, Lexie had to admit she looked good.

Stepping out of the bathroom, Mark's jaw dropped. They had been together for so long, but Lexie Grey was still the most beautiful girl Mark Sloan had ever seen.

"You look really hot." Mark said into her ear, sounding vaguely like a frat boy.

Lexie winked at him before whisking Alexa away to do her hair. Lexie opted to go for some curls in her daughter's hair with two braids that met in the back, and Alexa looked adorable.

Jo and Lexie found these adorable dresses at Nordstroms, so as per usual, Gracie and Alexa would be matching. They both had this white dress, with a grey tulle layer underneath.

Alexa's outfit coordinated perfectly with Lexie's, and Lexie snapped a selfie of the two of them.

Branden came bouncing into his bedroom, and Lexie handed him the dress shirt and pants she picked out for him a few days prior. Mark had a similar shirt awaiting him, so the whole family would be coordinating well. After attempting to tame Branden's hair, Lexie deemed him ready.

Just as Lexie and the 2 kiddos were wrapping up being ready, Mark stepped out of the bathroom, looking dapper as ever. Mark and Lexie shared a look, feeling like two high schoolers before the prom.

Mark looked down at his watch before realizing it was 4:15, and Mass started 15 minutes. It was typical for the Grey-Sloan family to be late, but nonetheless, the 4 of them rushed down to the lobby, where mass was being held.

As soon as they walked into the same ballroom they had breakfast with Santa this morning, Mark spotted a few seats open in the last row, and they scrambled over to claim them.

Mark put his arm around Lexie, who snuggled into his embrace.
