Lexie looked at Mark after he just basically asked her to move in him after it hadn't even been a full day since they had gotten back together. He looked at her noticing she didn't know what to say and said "Forget, I even said that, I'm sorry, I forget it's only been a day for you and this past month I've had a lot of time to think about us and well-," "Mark," she interrupted his nervous rant that wasn't really like him, he looked at her, and she said "I just woke up from a coma yesterday, we weren't even together the last I remember before the accident. "I love you, I really do, but Mark you got to give me some time to recover from this."
They looked at each other, "I don't want you to forget about it, I really want to get back to the way we used to be, but I need some time," she responded happy with her choice of words to put it off for later.
It had been a few hours and Mark and Lexie had caught up over the few hours, and not taking a minute for granted with each other.
This was like a weird dream, Lexie thought. The chances that all of these events would have played out for the best for them were slim. She thought he had chosen Julia, but she still loved her. She looked at Mark, who was ranting about something to her, but really to himself, because she had no idea what he was talking about.
"Mark?" she said and Mark lifted his head up and looked at her, and replied, "Yeah."
"What happened that day?" He looked back at her not really knowing where to start, and she said "I don't want the version that's clean, Mark. I want to know what happened."
She got on a rant, and started "I don't get it, you just dumped Julia for me and then I almost died!" "Lexie," he replied, and continued "I never stopped loving you, after we broke up. I still loved you when you were with Jackson. Look, when you told me that you loved me, I didn't reply, because I was scared. I loved Julia, but I realized she's not the one I see spending the rest of my life with, starting a family with. I don't see a future with her like the one I see with you."
Lexie's eyes began to get teary, he just said the most perfect things to her almost out of a fairytale. She looked at Mark and said "I love you, Mark."
He replied, "I love you too."
Just then Meredith walked through the door holding Zola on her hip and said "Hey guys! How's everything?" just to be considerate in a way, but she wanted to hear that her sister was doing better.
Lexie looked at Mark and said "Everything's Perfect."
Meredith knew something was up, because they were both smiling at each other. She just decided to leave them alone and have their moment together. Zola started to babble and Meredith put her down on Lexie's hospital bed and Lexie sat up so she could have her niece on her lap.
"Hey Zola, It's been a while huh?" Lexie said looking at the little girl. Zola just smiled back at her.
A half an hour of visiting had gone by and Meredith and Zola had left, because Meredith had to get to surgery and bring Zola back down to the daycare.
Alex, Jackson and April came into Lexie's hospital room, Lexie felt more comfortable because Meredith had brought by some sweats and a pajama shirt to wear instead of the hospital gown. Alex walked in first with Jackson and April walking behind him. Alex said, "We heard you woke up, just thought I'd stop by and these two lovebirds followed I guess," He said laughing not really paying much attention to what he had just said.
Lexie looked at her friends and asked "lovebirds?" not really in an upset voice of them being together, but in a more of a confused voice.
Jackson was about to say something when Lexie started to talk, "I'm happy for you guys!" and it came out more excited than she had planned for it to, she was just so excited about her own relationship it kind of just blurted out. April and Jackson looked at each other and April said, "Thanks," with a smile, she wanted to change the conversation from talking to her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend about their relationship. She added "How are you feeling?"
Lexie replied "I'm feeling better, I was a little groggy yesterday, but it's weird to just wake up and have missed a month of your life."
"I'd bet. Well, I have to get to surgery, just wanted to say 'hi'," Alex said and smiled and walked out of the room and down the hall.
Jackson looked at April and said, "We should get going too." This had been sufficiently awkward for all four of them, noticing Mark siting in the chair that wasn't as close to the bed as it used to be when she was in the coma.
Jackson and April walked out toward the door and April smiled "Bye" with a small wave. They headed down the hall the opposite way Alex had gone.
Lexie giggled a little to herself, "April and Jackson, how would have guessed."
