A.N.- Hello again. Life has been crazy, and sleep is a foreign concept to me. On the bright side, I'm not failing Chem! Guess that staying up to study was not a bad idea! Anyways, I haven't updated this story in ages, and I'm super sorry about that. I'm also running out of ideas for this, so if you want to see an arc or another sort of idea just tell me!
"Lex?" A gruff voice questions. I start to stir when I realize who exactly is calling my name. Mark. My eyelids flutter open, and I attempt to sit up. Something which doesn't go very well. Everything hurts and I can't seem to move. This puts me in a panic, as I start struggling. Was I still under the plane?
As the light becomes less blinding, I make out the form of Mark. "Hey," I say, my voice hoarse and scratchy. He hands me a cup of water as I look around and realize where I am. No longer am I stuck underneath a plane in the middle of nowhere, I'm now laying in a hospital bed. By the looks of it, I'm laying in a Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital bed. "What happened?"
"We were rescued from the woods," he answered. "No one died, but Arizona did lose her leg. You were trapped under a plane, and we thought you had died. But when the rescuers found you, you we just in a coma. The same coma you had been in for two weeks. That reminds me, I have to go tell the others that you're awake. I'll be right back, okay?"
"Okay, but Mark?"
"Yeah Lex?"
"Can we talk for a second first? Just you and me?"
"Of course we can, Lex."
"What you said, Mark, in the woods... When you thought I was dying... Did you-"
"Mean it?" He says, cutting off my question but completing it himself. "Of course, I meant it, every word. Which reminds me. I bought you something for when you woke up." He gets down on one knee, and continues, "Lexie Grey, you are the love of my life. When I thought that you were gone, it was the worst time of my life. I could not imagine spending the rest of my life without my one true love. I am not prepared to live without my love anymore. I love you Lexie Grey, and want to spend the rest of my life with you. I want to have children with you, two boys and a girl. So, Lexie Grey," he pauses, "Will you marry me?"
Tears are leaking from my eyes, and I can't stop smiling like a fool. "Yes, Mark Sloan!" I exclaim, "I would love to marry you!"
He places the ring on my finger and it feels so right. I look at it, it's beautiful. The diamond was princess cut, and on either side lay Alexandrite, my birthstone. I recognise the symbolism immediately, on the other side of the Alexandrite lay another diamond, his birthstone. I'm so touched, this whole thing is so romantic. I can tell that he put a lot of thought into designing the ring, and it's perfect. It isn't too big, and it isn't too small. I love it.
"Well, now we have more than one good thing to tell the others," I say, giggling.
"Speaking of which, I'm going to go get them now, okay?"
"Yes! Especially Mer! I can't want to tell her!" I'm so excited, I know that my older sister will be thrilled. As Mark leaves the room to get the others, I sigh in contentment. I love my life, and I thank whatever kept me alive for letting me experience this.
A.N.- Oh gosh... This is really short. It was based loosely of a guest's review, and I was glad for the ideas. I don't think that this chapter could have drawn out anymore, not with them just focusing on marriage. A later chapter will probably be on children. As always, review! Tell me your ideas! Until next time,
