Lexie anxiously tapped her fingers as she and Mark waited at the courthouse. She knew she was ready for this, but she couldn't help but find herself feeling nervous. That was normal, right?

"Are you okay?" Mark asked, looking at her skeptically.

"Of course." Lexie smiled awkwardly. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"It's okay if you don't want to do this. We can just wait until you're ready." He told her.

"Don't be stupid. We are doing this. I am fine, okay?" She said.

"Lexie-"

"Shh!"

"Lexie." He tried again.

"Hey we're here." Meredith said, walking in with Derek right behind her.

"Oh, thank God." Lexie said with a sigh. "Hey, Derek."

"Little Grey."

"Okay, let's do this." Lexie said, clapping her hands and walking to the coordinator.

"What is wrong with her?" Meredith asked.

"I don't know." Mark answered. "She's just been weird."

"Who is watching Haley?" Derek asked.

"Callie took her."

"Ah."

"Okay, they're ready for us." Lexie said, practically dragging Mark and Meredith behind her.

When the two couples made it to the room where the actual wedding would take place, Lexie felt a wave of relief wash over her. It was a feeling so couldn't quite explain, but she knew she felt safe.

"Hello. My name is David Campbell and I will be performing the ceremony today. Mark and Alexandra, correct?"

"Yes, that's correct." Mark answered.

"Okay." David continued. "I see you have your witnesses. Would you prefer reciting you own vows or traditional?"

"Traditional is great." Lexie said.

"Alright then."

Lexie took a deep breath as she took Mark's hand.

"Mark and Alexandra, you are here today to declare your lifelong commitment to one another before myself and the two witnesses who stand before us. Mark, do you vow to love Alexandra, to cherish her, and to remain loyal only to her as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." Mark said, without hesitation, causing Lexie to giggle a little with joy.

"Alexandra, do you vow to love Mark, to cherish him, and to remain loyal only to him, as long as you both shall live?" David asked.

Lexie breathed deep. "I do." She said with a huge grin.

"Alright. At this time, if you have rings, you may exchange them."

"I don't have a wedding band for you." Lexie said with a shocked expression.

"Actually." Derek said. "I took the liberty of taking care of that."

He handed Lexie a small box. She opened it to find a flawless, silver band.

"I had my mom help me pick just the right one. I figured she was the woman who knew you the best, next to this one of course." Derek said with a smile.

"Thank you." Lexie said.

She slowly placed the ring on Mark left hand before Mark reached in his jacket pocket, pulling out a small velvet box.

"I had these custom made." Mark said. "I hope they are what you wanted."

Opening the box, Mark revealed a simple, yet gorgeous engagement ring with a diamond encrusted wedding band that fit perfectly into it.

"Shut up!" Lexie said. "It's perfect, Mark." She told her as he slid it on her left ring finger.

"Okay." David said. "By the power vested in me by the state of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Mr. Sloan, you may kiss your beautiful bride."

The newly married couple shared a beautifully innocent kiss.

"Yay." Lexie said with a giggle.

Lexie and Mark walked into their apartment greeted by Callie who was walking in the living room from the hallway.

"Hey." She said. "My little buddy didn't last very long. She crashed so I put her in her room."

"Thank you so much for doing this." Lexie said.

"Of course." Callie told her. "I'm gonna get out of here and let you guys get some sleep."

"Good night, Callie." Lexie said, taking her coat off.

"Oh, congratulations. You guys deserve happiness." Callie said as she walked out the door.

"Thanks, Torres." Mark said.

After checking on the baby and showering, Lexie and Mark settled in their bed, hoping to get a good night's sleep. The next morning, Mark woke to Lexie, hitting him with a pillow.

"Get up." She said. "We're going to be late and you know what happens to the parents that are late? They are judged. Instantly."

"What is going on?" Mark said, trying to wake up fully.

"You forgot." Lexie said with an exasperated sigh. "So typical."

"Forgot what?"

"Seriously? We have the mommy and daddy playgroup with the babies today." Lexie said. "I scheduled it months ago."

"You're right. I'm sorry. I'm up." He said, slowly crawling out of bed.

"You have five minutes. We are already late." Picking up her purse and the baby, she turned to Mark. "We'll be in the car."

The playgroup was not what they were expecting. They walked into a room full of what looked to Lexie to be rich moms and dads with perfect little children who barely moved or made any noise.

"Hi. My name is Alyssa and I'm the instructor for today's class." Said the perky and cheerful, blonde who greeted them. "What's this little one's name?"

"Haley." Mark said. "Haley Sloan."

"Alrighty then, we are just waiting for a couple other people and then we'll begin the with the Welcome Cheer."

"The Welcome Cheer?" Mark said after she walked away.

"Suck it up. We are doing this." Lexie said.

They picked a spot to sit on the floor with the baby and after a few minutes were greeted by a mom who looked like she walked right out of a Betty Crocker cookbook. Perfect hair, perfect smile, and matching perfect heels and pearls. Lexie started to feel inferior as she looked down at her ripped jeans and worn Converse high tops.

"Oh, hi there. I'm Claire and this is my son, Branden. Are you first time parents, too?"

"Yeah. This is our daughter Haley. My name is Lexie and this is Mark."

"She is pretty cute." Claire said. "You must be so proud."

"Yeah, we like her." Mark said with a grin.

"This is my husband, Brad." Claire introduced the gorgeous man who sat next to her.

"Hi, how are you?" He greeted.

"Hey." Mark nodded.

"Okay, everybody." Alyssa announced. "Today, we are going to be working on the basics with the kids. Crawling, grabbing, and building. We are also going to work on communication with your baby. So, I am going to make my way around the room and see where we are."

"Honey, Branden is going to be so bored. I knew this class would be too easy for him." Claire said.

"Too easy?" Lexie asked.

"Yeah. Branden is already pulling himself up and trying to walk." Claire explained. "He is advanced."

"How old is he?" Mark asked.

"Ten months." The same age as Haley.

Lexie laughed before elbowing Mark. "We have to leave this place immediately."

"Why? What's wrong?" Mark said.

"Haley is going to be behind. Building? Trying to walk? She isn't doing any of that, we can't even get her to crawl when we want her to." Lexie said, on the verge of panic.

"Hey, she has skills that they might not." Mark defended.

"Farts don't count, Mark." Lexie said, causing a mock frown.

"It will be okay. She is going to do just fine." He told her.

Claire turned around, "I couldn't help but overhear. Haley isn't moving quite as fast as the rest of us, huh?"

"I'm sorry?" Lexie said.

"It's okay if she is a little…slower." Claire said. "She could catch up you know. Eventually."

"Hold on just a second." Lexie started.

"No, it's okay." She told her. "I would just probably make arrangements to get her some help."

"My baby is not slow." Lexie said, defensively.

"Okay." Claire said with a scoff.

"Did she just-" Lexie told Mark before standing up, towering over her new enemy.

"Listen, sister. My baby may not walk yet, and she may not be able to make a tower out of Mega Blocks, but damn it, my baby is smart. She is tough and she is strong. I don't care what you think." Lexie went off.

"Lexie, you should stop." Mark said.

"So." She continued. "You should probably just start minding your own damn business."

"Lexie."

"What?" She turned on Mark.

"Let's just go."

"You're right. We are so out of here." Lexie said, taking Haley from Mark. "And by the way, at least my kid doesn't lick the carpet."

Claire turned around to find Branden strangely licking the rug on which they were sitting.

"Branden, stop!" She shrieked.

"What were you going to do? Hit her?" Mark said, as they walked into their apartment.

"No. I just had some good verbal comebacks ready. She was attacking my kid." Lexie said. "She isn't challenged in any way. She is a smart kid."

"She's the smartest. Just like her mom." He told her.

"I love you." Lexie said, kissing him.

"I love you." He said back. "So playgroup next week?"

"Shut up." Lexie said. "We are never going back."
