Mark Sloan and Eddie Sousa both woke up earlier than usual. Neither of them really able to sleep, because they had somehow ended up with the girls sleeping with them in their bed, because of the loud, house rocking thunderstorm. Which made their girls rush into their room, and the two of them were too tired to get up and carry them back to bed once they fell back asleep.

Mark was already taking a hot shower, when Eddie entered wrapped in her giant robe she stole from Mark, since hers barely wrapped around her bump.

"Incoming and we don't have a lot of time." Eddie said, she knew the kids would be up any moment.

"You joining me sweetheart?" Mark asked, over the rush of water.

"If that is okay?" Eddie asked with a teasing smile. "You know to conserve water?"

Mark laughed, as he opened the door as Eddie dropped her robe.

"I think water conservation is the last thing on my mind." Mark said as Eddie entered the shower with a laugh and a wide smile, as Mark, pulled her towards him, and the two shared a passionate kiss.

Lexie and Conrad were lying in their bed. Ever since Lexie fainted last week, Conrad had been over protective, which Lexie understood. And, it only got worse as it approached today.

Lexie, was returning to work after a week of "bed rest."

"How are you feeling?" Conrad asked his wife as he gently rubbed her bump.

"I'm good." Lexie said. "I'm glad to get back into routine."

Conrad nodded. He knew as much as he wanted to wrap his wife in a plastic bubble, and make sure she and the twins were okay, he couldn't do it. She wanted to work as much as possible. She knew that she had limitations and this fainting spell had showed her that. 

"You'll take it easy today? Right?" Conrad asked, as Lexie nodded.

"I will." Lexie said as she kissed him gently. "We're gonna be fine."

"I know." Conrad said. "But, that doesn't stop me from worrying." 

"Which is why I love you." Lexie said. "Are you ready for today? You have that big surgery today."
