Thanks to everyone for the great reviews!

So, I likely won't be able to update either of my stories until next week, sorry!

P.S. a huge thanks to 85devil15angel for suggesting Project Free TV in regards to my other story!

I don't own anything!

-June 7&8, 2013-It was the day of Lexie's boards. Mark walked behind Derek and Lexie, carrying Lexie's suitcase.

Derek was giving Lexie last minute advice for her boards, though Mark had a feeling Lexie wouldn't need it. She could pass her boards with flying colors in her sleep.

Derek wished Lexie luck and then walked back to the hospital.

"You ready?" Mark asked Lexie.

"I guess so, I wish I wasn't still in the chair, but the physical therapist said I should be cleared soon so I need to stay in it as a precaution." Lexie sighed, playing with her engagement ring. It had become a nervous habit.

"Lex, don't worry about the chair. You'll be out of it soon," Mark said.

"But what if the examiners think…" Lexie spoke before Mark cut her off.

"You are an amazing surgeon, you're Lexipedia for God's sake. Even if the chair was permanent they wouldn't care, you deserve to be a surgeon. Don't focus on the chair, you're going to rock your boards." Mark said with a grin, bending down so that they were eye level.

Lexie nodded with a small grin.

Ryan and Steve ran past her onto the bus.

"I should probably go," Lexie said softly.

Mark motioned for the driver to bring down the wheelchair ramp before turning to Lexie.

"I love you. You are going to do amazingly. Just keep calm and you should be fine. Tonight, order salmon from room service and make sure it isn't frozen, you'll lose omega-3s. Go to bed early and make sure to get up a couple hours before the test and eat a good breakfast."

"Yes, sir," Lexie said with a laugh.

"If you get nervous, just pretend you're talking to me."

"Okay. I can't believe we're getting married in a week!" Lexie exclaimed. She wanted their wedding to be as soon after her boards as possible.

Mark grinned and kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you too." Lexie replied with a grin. "One more for good luck?"

Mark kissed her again before Lexie left for her boards.

That night, Lexie was about to go to bed. While most of her friends had gone to the bar, she had stayed in her room studying. She had ordered room service and taken a hot bath. The relaxing evening she knew she needed before her boards.

She smiled when her phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered with a grin.

"Hey, Lex," Mark's voice floated through the other end of the line. "Someone wanted to wish you luck, hold on,"

"Luck, Mommy!" Sofia yelled into the phone.

"Thank you, Sof," Lexie said with a smile.

She laughed as Sofia began to tell her a story that Lexie understood approximately every sixth word of.

"Nigh, nigh, Mommy! Love you!" Sofia said, Lexie heard her make a kissing noise and then hand the phone back to Mark.

"Are you ready for the boards?" Mark asked Lexie.

"Yes, I studied all night and ate salmon like you said. Derek prepared me pretty well and Callie helped me with the Torres method."

"Good," Mark said with a chuckle. "I should probably let you get some sleep, you have a big day tomorrow."

"Mark…" Lexie begged, not wanting to stop talking to him.

"Lex, you need to go to sleep." Mark said firmly.

"I hate you," Lexie pouted.

"I love you too," Mark said, hanging up.

….

The next night, Mark was waiting when the bus returned to the hospital.

He walked towards Lexie as she got off. He thanked Steve, who had carried Lexie's bag.

"How was it?" He asked her eagerly.

"It was more like an interrogation than an exam, but I think it went really well."

"That's great!" Mark said with a wide grin.

"They asked me about the chair, but I don't think it'll be a problem," Lexie said with a smile.

"Good, so when do you found out the results?" He asked her.

Lexie glanced at her watch. "In about 12 minutes." She said with a small smile.

"What do you say we go home?" He asked her.

"I'd say that'd be great," Lexie said with a grin.

….

About twenty minutes later, they sat in their apartment. Mark was pouring them glasses of wine and Lexie was furiously refreshing the internet on her phone and laptop.

"They said it would be up at midnight! It's 12:08 and still no results! They already know who passed or failed! How hard is it to put it in the damn computer?" Lexie said frustratedly.

Mark walked over and put the glasses of wine on the coffee table. He sat down next to Lexie and began to massage her feet.

"Just relax, the results will be up soon," Mark said softly.

"But I wanna know now…" Lexie whined.

"Lex, you can find out tomorrow. I'm sure you passed with flying colors," Mark said with a grin.

"We are not going to bed until I find out," Lexie said sternly.

"Okay," Mark said with a chuckle handing Lexie her glass of wine.

About two hours later, Mark and Lexie were still on the couch.

Mark had begun to drift off and Lexie was still furiously refreshing on her phone.

Their empty wine glasses sat next to an empty wine bottle.

"I passed!" Lexie suddenly yelled.

Mark stirred.

Lexie lunged across the ouch and kissed Mark.

Mark laughed and hugged her.

"I am now an officially board-certified surgeon," Lexie said with a grin.

"I knew you would be!" Mark said with a smile. "Can we go to bed now?" Mark asked her.

"Yes, we can go to bed now," Lexie said with a smile.

Mark picked Lexie up and carried her to bed. He was too tired to wait for her to get back in the chair.

They both fell into bed.

"I'm proud of you, Lex," Mark said with a smile.

"I love you," Lexie said with a smile, kissing Mark.
