Hey guys!

So first of all I want to thank you for the reviews. Everytime I read them I want to write a new chapter and it gives me a lot of power. Thank you so much.

I hope the last chapter wasn´t too dirty for you.

Well, this chapter is a little bit different. There are also some Crowen and Izzex scenes and not only Slexie and Merder. I think I´m going to write a little bit about the other ships or people in the hospital too because I want to bring some other feelings in my story, but Slexie will still be the main thing in it. Tell me if it´s okay or if you only want a Slexie focused story. And which ships would you like to have in it?

So far so good and now:

ENJOY!

"You do?" Lexie asked unsure if it was a dream again.

"I do!" Mark replied and kissed the other side of her neck.

"So does this mean that we are in a...relationship?"

"I think it does!" Mark answered and smiled.

"I love you too!"

"I know!" Mark meant and Lexie had to giggle. She laid her hand on his cheek and looked him in the eyes.

"Can I tell Meredith? She is my sister and I don´t want to lie to her.." Lexie asked. Mark automatically stopped smiling. He hesitated till he meant that it won´t be a good idea. Lexie asked him why and he replied that she would be a forbidden fruit and his best friend told him not to do it but he did and that Derek would never forgive him.

*Ring* Lexie´s cellphone rang. It was her dad. What does he want? I thought that he understood what I told him..Lexie thought and didn´t react to his call. Mark raised one eyebrow but was also happy that he had more time with Lexie.

"Okay, um...I will wait telling Meredith about us but if she asks me...I´m not going to lie to her again.." Lexie said.

"Let me tell Derek first..He is the one whose appeal I broke." Mark wanted and Lexie nodded.

"Now...let´s enjoy the night!" Lexie said and kissed her boyfriend.

Meanwhile in the hospital:

Meredith examined Thatcher and wrote something in his chart.

"How´s Lexie?" he asked when she finished the examination.

"What do you mean? Isn´t she visiting you every day?" Meredith asked but concentrated on his MRI-results.

"No she isn´t. And I thought that when you two finish your shift you talk about your day when you´re at home." Thatcher answered and Meredith looked up from her work and looked him in the eyes.

"What do you mean with ´when you two are at home`?"

"She lives at your place, doesn´t she? She moved out. Please tell me that she lives with you and Derek.." Thatcher worried and wanted to stand up.

"Whoa lay down again!" Meredith screamed. "No..Lexie didn´t show up at our place. Where can she be?" Meredith thought loud. "The nurse will discharge you later this night. Get well soon Thatcher!" she said and left the room.

"Derek!" Meredith said when she met him on the hallways. "When is your shift over?"

"Um..in 10 minutes why? You want to get naughty?" Derek smirked and kissed his girlfriend.

"No,..I mean yes but that´s not the point." she explained and pushed him away. "Could you please look at Lexie´s if she´s there? Thatcher told me that she moved out and I´m scared that she is living in her car or something worse. Please just look after her." Derek nodded and after he went out of the hospital he drove immediately to Lexie´s.

He rang the door bell and bumped against the door. Then he decided to call her but no one reacted. He found the key under the door mat and stepped in the house.

"Lexie? Lexie? It´s me Derek. Are you here?" He asked but it was quiet. After he looked through every room he drove to his house. He opened the door and stepped into the living room where Alex, his girlfriend Izzie and Cristina were watching TV.

"Hey! Did Lexie show up?" he asked and Meredith´s friends shook their head.

"Maybe she´s at the hospital. She is the only one of my interns who really could be a good surgeon! So I hope she is there first because I don´t want to imagine what happens if the others get a complicated case." Cristina meant and opened a new bottle of beer.

"No she isn´t. She left one hour ago." Derek said and went to the fridge to grab a beer.

"Was that the last beer?" Alex asked and pointed on Cristina´s bottle.

"Yep, it was!" She said and drank it.

"You can´t drink the last beer! This isn´t even your house! You didn´t pay for that!" Alex meant angrily and Izzie told him to calm down.

"And you did?" Cristina asked and looked at him.

"No, I did." Derek replied and Christina looked at her best friend´s future husband who typed something in his cell-phone and held it to his ear. "Why is nobody reacting to my calls?!" He said and put it back on the table.

"Cristina why are you even here? I thought that Owen is back from Iraq." Izzie said and looked at her.

"Screw you!" she whispered, stood up and left the house. Alex and Izzie laughed but Derek didn´t think it was funny. He also left the house and found Cristina crying on the stairs. He sat down next to her and Cristina started talking about her problems. She told him that Owen was different since he was back. He didn´t listen and sometimes he would stare at the wall for hours. She also mentioned that he had nightmares and that he hits around himself in his sleep and hurts her without knowing. Christina rolled up her sleeve and showed Derek some bruises. He was shocked and meant that he should do a therapy.

"I told him. He always meant that he would be fine." Cristina explained. "But as you can see...he isn´t." Derek nodded and meant that she shouldn´t drive home because she drank alcohol and she isn´t in the right condition. So he took his keys and drove her to her and Owen´s apartment.

"We´re here.." he said and parked the car. Cristina was sitting there for a few more seconds and then she looked to Derek.

"Thank you...for...everything"

"You´re welcome."

Cristina opened the door and left the car. The moment she wanted to go into the building Derek exclaimed, "Cristina! Does Meredith know?" The woman shook her head weakly. "She won´t know till you are going to tell her!" Derek promised and drove away.

As soon as Cristina reached the apartment door she got scared. She shouldn´t be afraid of her boyfriend. She swiped away her tears and opened the door. Like she expected Owen was sitting on the couch and stared at the wall.

"Owen, my dear, please look at me!" she said and sat down next to him. He didn´t react.

"Owen!" Cristina said louder. He didn´t react again.

"Owen!" she shouted.

"What...why are you shouting?" He asked and looked at his sad girlfriend.

"You should go to doctor Wyatt..you are-"

"No! No! I´m not crazy! I´m a veteran! I´m not crazy! I am normal..everything´s fine!" he meant angrily and repeated that everything would be fine.

"I never wanted to say that you are crazy. But nothing is fine-"

"Everything . Is . Fine!" Owen repeated loudly. Cristina got angry.

"No . It´s . Not!" She said, stood up and put off her shirt. Owen looked at her body. There were bruises everywhere. On her arms, her hips, on her back - everywhere.

"Nothing is fine. You´re not fine. I´m not fine. I´m afraid of sleeping next to you because when you have a nightmare and you hit around I can jump out of the bed to save me from getting hurt. You´re frightened when I touch you and...and..nothing is fine." She explained and sat down again.

"I should go to doctor Wyatt.." Owen said and tears streamed down his face. Christina nodded and put his arms around him. Both started crying and sat on the couch like this the whole night.

After Derek and Cristina left the house Alex and Izzie were alone.

"So what would you like to do..?" Alex asked and kissed her. Izzie giggled and laid down on the couch. Alex kissed her neck and laid on top of her.

"We could do it wherever we want.. Derek won´t come back anytime soon and Mer´s shift goes for some more hours..." Izzie calculated and stroke through Alex hair.

"That´s it!" He answered, picked her up in bridal style and carried her to the kitchen.

"Alright..Let´s get started!"

After an hour they were finished and laid in Izzie´s bed. Alex asked which place she liked the most and Izzie answered that she loved the kitchen table and the office, but that the stairs were uncomfortable.

"I liked the kitchen too. It was risky because if someone entered the house they could see us clearly but this feeling was great." Alex meant and kissed his girlfriend. Then they paused and it was silent.

"I´m going to jump in the shower. How about you?" Izzie asked after a while but all she got was the snore of Alex. So she went alone to the bathroom and washed herself. When she finished she stepped out of the shower, grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her body. Then she took her hair brush and started brushing her hair while looking in the mirror. Suddenly she let her brush fall on the floor and turned around. How is that possible?...No it is not possible...but I can see...Izzie thought when she saw her dead fiancé Denny Duquette. Memories from the day he died ran through Izzie´s head.

It was two years ago. He was a heart patient and Izzie fell in love with him the moment she saw him. Denny made some dirty jokes and after a few days he left the hospital. A few months later he returned because his heart was too weak. He needed a heart transplant. Doctor Preston Burke, who was Cristina´s ex-boyfriend went to the hospital where the donating heart was but another surgeon – Erica Hahn – needed it too. Izzie cut the LVAD-wire and so Denny was the patient who got the heart. The operation was successful but then he had a crippling stroke and died.

"It´s just an illusion, it´s just an illusion, it´s just an illusion, it´s just-" Izzie said but Denny looked at her with his big brown eyes.

"Why are you still here? Is it a dream or something?" She asked.

"No it´s not! I´m here for you Izzie Stevens!" Denny replied and Izzie was shocked.

"I can hear you.." she said. Then she touched his chest and immediately pulled away her hand when she felt him. "I can feel you.." she laid her hand on his chest again "I can feel your heart beat. That doesn´t make any sense. Why are you here? I´m over you. I have a boyfriend. Why are you here?"

"I´m here for you Izzie Stevens." Denny repeated.

"But what does that mean?" she asked but Denny didn´t answer.

"Izzie?" Alex asked from the other side of the door. Izzie closed her eyes and shook her head and when she opened it again Denny disappeared. She went to bed but couldn´t fall asleep. She had to think about what she saw.

Mark and Lexie were lying naked in Mark´s bed only wrapped in sheets and blankets.

"I thought our sex last night was great but this `I-love-you´sex is magnificent!" Lexie admitted and both started laughing. The two were knowing each other for only one week but it felt like million years.

"You know what would be great too?" Lexie asked Mark and he shook his head.

"A sandwich.." Lexie said and Mark started smirking.

"Okay, well, I thought we would like to have some nights on our own but um I could call Callie. Maybe she wants a `sandwich´ too.." Mark said and reached his hand towards his phone.

"No! Ew! Not like that. I mean a sandwich which you can eat. With salad and cheese and bread and not with another woman.." Lexie said disgusted.

"OH...Sorry.."Mark laughed. "I´m a little bit confused because poundcake also was a code word."

Suddenly Marks phone rang. He reached out his hand to his bedside table but Lexie stopped him before he could look who it was.

"Don´t.." she whispered and laid down on her back. "Whoever this is and whatever they want.. it can wait..." she continued and pulled him to her and kissed him. After some kisses Mark stopped.

"And what about the sandwich. Can your sandwich wait?" he asked smiling.

"Mmm...no!" Lexie answered and smiled back. Mark stood up immediately and put on his boxers. Then he went to the kitchen and started to prepare the sandwich for Lexie. He wanted to do an extra ordinary one with hard boiled egg so it took him longer then Lexie wanted to wait.

"Why does it take so long?" Lexie asked from the bed room.

"I want to make you the special Mark Sloan sandwich. It will be ready in a few minutes" He said and put the timer for the eggs on ten minutes.

After Derek brought Christina home he thought about what he could do now. He wanted a cold beer and some `adult´ friends around and not Meredith´s. He decided to call Mark again who didn´t react to his call when he was at home. And again – no answer. Maybe his phone isn´t charged. That happens really often...Derek thought. And Mark´s apartment is only 5 minutes from here and he always has some beer in his fridge. So Derek started the engine and drove to Mark´s. Just to be sure to have beer he bought a six pack at the petrol station.

He found a parking space in front of the building where Mark lives so he parked right there. He left the car and went to the elevator because after this working day he didn´t want to take the stairs. He went to the floor where Mark´s apartment was and knocked at the door. Nobody answered. He knocked a second time. Now Derek could hear someone coming closer to the door and this someone also turned the key in the lock.

Mark opened the door and saw Derek. His heart stopped beating for a second. Oh fuck..he thought when he completely realized that his best friend stood in front of his door and that the forbidden fruit was lying naked in his bed.

"Hey Mark!" Derek said and wanted to come in but Mark blocked his way.

"What are you doing here?" Mark wanted to ask confidently but his voice sounded frightened.

"I want to drink a beer with my best friend." Derek said and showed him the six pack.

"That´s not possible..I´m tired..I want to sleep." Mark stuttered

"Um...something is being cooked in your kitchen...or are you having a one night stand again?" Derek laughed. Mark swallowed.

"Mark?" He heard Lexie from his bed room and sweat pearls were running down his forehead.

"Haha..wait this voice is familiar to me...is it someone from the hospital?" Derek asked. Mark´s eyes went big.

"Oh it is...tell me is it a nurse? Or is it the cute one from radiology? Or is it-" Derek wanted to know but got interrupted by Lexie who entered the living room, her body covered in sheets.

"Mark why does it-" she said but got quiet when she saw Derek. Mark looked shocked to Lexie and Derek switched his gaze between them two.

"..Lexie?" Derek asked and the timer for the eggs went off.
