The Sloan Family (the remake)

Chapter 4

Wait, What?

After the night he had with Lexie, Mark was expecting to at least have some kind of reaction from her. He was sure she would talk about her feeling but this Lexie wasn't like the one he knew. He was expecting his world to be together again, like putting the last piece of a puzzle in its place. But it wasn't going to happen, not till he had the chance to talk to her.

As he was lost in his thoughts, he didn't see his best friend in front of him and he walked into her.

"Mark, watch were you're going." She said looking at him. She saw the face he was making, the one she knew too well. "Mark, what's wrong."

"Nothing." The man responds. He didn't want his friend to know how much a love puppy he was.

"Mark." She insisted

"I slept with someone and I can't understand how this can't mean anything to the person." He blurb out.

"Well, then all you can do is to try to make it work, that's what I did with Arizona after she kissed me." The woman advised.

"Thanks, Callie."

Mark walked away to go find Lexie.
The woman was chatting with her sister, thinking no one could hear them. They didn't know that the very subject they were talking about was standing outside the door and could hear everything they said.

"Mer! I'm not ready to tell Mark yet." The youngest told her sister.

"So when will you, hum? When his kids will be old enough to put two and two together. I know I said I would never force you to tell him, but that was before Derek died and before you decide to move right next door to him."

"The plan was never to tell him, remember? He doesn't need to know that the twins are his."

Mark couldn't believe it. Did she really say that the twins were his? He should have probably pay more attention to them when he saw them the month before, but how could he have known? Why wouldn't she tell him? It's not like they didn't mean anything to each other. Right?

"Come on Lex, do yourself a favor and just tell him." Meredith almost begged her sister.

"He left me behind, Mer. I can't forgive him for that and I certainly can't let him do that to my children, they deserve better. You know that." Lexie said.

Did he really leave her behind Mark thought? Before he could answer his question, the door opened revealing an angry Lexie and an angry Meredith. Mark faked doing some work. He needed to talk to someone and he knew exactly who he would talk to about this, but that person died six years ago.

Mark made a trip to the cemetery. He had to talk to his oldest friend, even if the conversation was one way.

Mark took his car and drive to the cemetery. He parked his car right across Derek's grave. He knew that even if his friend wasn't in this world, he could always help him get some kind of peace. Derek had always been there for him and it was time to prove it again.

Mark didn't how to talk to a grave, so he simply looked at it, praying for something to happen.

It finally did. He found the answers he was looking for. He was going to ask Lexie about his paternity. If it was true, he wouldn't how to react. But it was always better to doing nothing at all.

~< that night >~

Lexie was sitting next to Mer in her old house. The kids were all sleeping and they finally could have a girl's night. They were speaking gossip and love. Meredith hadn't had anyone since Derek died 2 years ago. If she had, she didn't tell her sister. Also with them was sitting Amelia and Maggie. Even if Amelia was married and had a kid at home, she always took the time to come at Mer's to discuss everything. From annoying inters to baby problems.

"So... you still haven't told us the history about you and Sloan," Maggie said, grasping for juicy details.

"What is there to talk about?" Lexie said, still hoping to avoid the subject.

"You know, the fact you two happened and that now you're working together." Maggie continued.

"Seriously? It's not like any of you aren't working with someone you slept with."

"No, but we're not to ones who just came back after five years." Amelia had.

"Come on, Lexie. Just tell them." Meredith encouraged her sister.

"Okay, but you have to promise to not say a thing."

"Promise." Both Amelia and Maggie said.

"It all started when I was an intern. We had a case and he was amazing, the sexual tension between us was growing more and more every time we worked together. And when that woman finally spoke, it's like it had hit its summit. So I went to his room and I asked him to teach me. Then we had a secret relationship for quite some time. I broke his penis and..."

"You broke his penis?!" Maggie said.

"You promised."

"Sorry."

"Then we told everyone." Lexie continued. "And his daughter came back and well, we broke up. I was with Alex until I almost got shot and I realized that I wanted to be with Mark. We got together again and it was great until he told me that Callie was pregnant and that he was the father. Which made it impossible for me to stay so I went to Boston and well, you know the rest."

The girls stayed quiet for a couple minutes then Amelia interrupted the silence.

"I bet $50 that something happened since she came back."

"20 that nothing is gonna happen ever again," Maggie said.

"50 that she's in love," Meredith added

"Seriously! You guys are awful." Lexie said getting up. "I need to go home. Goodnight."

She left the girls to plot some theories about her and Mark. Maybe it wasn't over. Maybe they still had a chance.
