Chapter 17

"So what do you think?" Lexie asked Haley as she held up two photos of different flowers. "Roses or lilies?"

Haley just giggled and kicked her little legs. It had been 2 and a half months since Mark and Lexie decided to go for it and get married. Lexie, of course, began planning right away. Callie and Arizona helped her with everything, while Meredith and Cristina could have cared less. It's was okay though. Weddings weren't their thing. Lexie smiled and put the photos aside.

"Okay, I get it, I am getting bored too." She gasped. "I know, let's go wake Daddy up."

Mark had been sleeping in a lot due to his late surgeries, but everything was great between them. He was no help when it came to planning the big day, but really what guy was? The pair quietly made their way into the bedroom and Lexie lightly placed Haley on Mark's arm. It took her about five seconds to giggle, waking Mark up.

"Hey, what are you doing?" he asked Lexie, sleepily.

"Someone wanted to say good morning."

"I see. How is the most beautiful girl in the world?" Mark asked.

"Okay. I have to go look at floral arrangements with Callie. Do you want me to take her?"

"Nah. Leave her here. We can take a nap, right baby girl?" Mark said.

Lexie laughed causing Mark to look at her strangely.

"Sorry." Lexie said. "Just you are thinking that she is going to let you sleep. It's really funny. Are you sure you don't want me to take her."

"I'm sure. You girls have fun."

"Okay." Lexie said, leaning in and kissing Haley several times on the cheeks. "Mommy loves you so much. See you soon." She turned around and headed out.

"What about me?" Mark asked

"Sorry." She came back and kissed Mark deeply and passionately. "I'll see you later, okay."

"Yeah, you will. I love you."

"You too."

Lexie and Callie had spent forty-five minutes looking at floral arrangements and nothing seemed to really draw Lexie in. Everything was too plain or too fancy, too colorful or too washed out, too big or not noticeable. She was ready to give up.

"Maybe this is a bad idea?" Lexie said.

"What's a bad idea?" Callie asked, confused.

"The wedding."

"Oh, no. Are you getting cold feet? Grey, Mark loves you so much." Callie started.

"No, I'm not getting cold feet. Not about Mark anyway, just the wedding. I feel like it might be too over the top. Mayb we will just go to city hall, do the justice of the peace thing." She said.

"No!" Callie protested strongly. "You will not go to city hall and do the justice of the peace thing. Do you hear me? This wedding is going to be great and if you can't believe that, then there is the door."

Lexie just nodded, afraid to use words at this point.

Callie picked up a flower arrangement and looked at Lexie with the largest smile she could put on.

"So what do we think? Baby's breath? Tacky?"

Meanwhile, Mark laid in bed watching television with Haley when he heard a knock on the door.

"Who could that be?" He asked Haley as he picked her up and walked to the front door.

"Look its Uncle Derek." Mark said.

"Hey there, missy. Come say hi to me." Derek took her from Mark.

"So what brings you here, man?" Mark asked.

"Cristina and Meredith are dancing around my house. I am not sure why, but I know I do not want to be there. It's worse than their slumber parties in my bed." Derek explained.

"I see. Well feel free to stay as long as you like."

"So where's Lexie?" Derek asked.

"She is looking at flowers with Callie."

"Oh yeah, wedding day. Are you nervous?" He asked.

"You know, it's weird." Mark explained. "Most men would be sort of nonchalant about the whole thing, but I'm scared, man."

"Of what?" Derek laughed. "You already got her."

"What if I screw it up?" He said. "I have before. There is nothing saying I won't do it again. Only this time, if I screw it up, not only do I lose Lexie, but I lose her too." Mark said, pointing to the baby in Derek's lap.

"Mark, I don't say this to you very often, but I believe in you. Lexie would not have agreed to marry you if she didn't think that you were a better man; a changed man. She believes in you, and you have got to start believing in yourself or you are in for a very unhappy marriage."

"You're right." Mark said.

"I know." Derek answered. "It happens quite often. Frightening, isn't it?"

After a few minutes of pointless chat, Derek's pager went off. After looking at it and handing Haley back to Mark he explained he had to run due to an emergency craniotomy that needed his attention.

A couple hours later, Lexie came through the door. She was extremely happy. She tossed her bag on the couch and walked through the apartment looking for Mark and Haley.

"Mark." She called. "I'm home."

No answer.

"Babe, where are you?" She tried again.

Still nothing.

"Mark this isn't funny. Come out."

"Shhhhh." Mark said, coming out of Haley's room. "She is taking a nap."

Lexie smacked Mark on the shoulder. "Don't you dare do that to me. I thought you had taken off or something. God!"

"You have got to calm down." He told her. "So how did it go with the flowers?"

"Great." Lexie said with a smile. Callie found a bouquet and centerpieces for the tables…but I can't help thinking…"

"What?" Mark asked.

"Do you really want the big, flashy wedding?" Lexie asked. "Would you want to just go to city hall?"

"I want whatever you want. You told me the first night we were together that you dreamed of a wedding where you got to be a princess for a day and wear a fancy dress and have cake and flowers. If that is your dream then I want that for you." Mark told her. "You deserve it and so much more."

"Thank you, baby. I love you so much." She said kissing him.

"I love you, too."

"We're getting married." Lexie told him. "Married, and we have a baby. Did you ever think we would be here?"

"I knew I would marry you and have babies with you. I just couldn't seem to make you see it."

"Well, I'm stubborn, you know?" Lexie told him.

"Yeah, I know. You're a Grey." Mark laughed.

"Not for long." She told him.

All Mark could do was smile.

I am hoping to make the wedding something beautiful, but not over the top. I don't want it to be unrealistic. Anyways, thanks for reading and I hope you review. I will be taking tomorrow night off for a Grey's Night with my pals but I will be back to work soon. Peace and Love everyone. xoxo
