Meant to be

Chapter 7-Lexie

I've been home now for three months. Last month I started physical therapy, this month I can walk on my own. Mark surprised me with an engagement ring a couple weeks after we got home, it was beautiful. Bigger than I expected, but absolutely gorgeous. Callie would come over almost every day after we got home, to make sure we were doing okay. But after a couple weeks we were getting better and she only came over a couple times a week. Mark never left the apartment so when we were out of food Callie went and got it for us. Finally after a month at home I could get around on my own in a wheelchair he finally went out. He came back within an hour because he 'missed me' I know he really just worried that something would happen, but it didn't.

I walked around the physical therapy room waiting for the doctor. Mark sat on the side looking at a patient chart. I sighed as I kept walking but stopped to look out of the window. I was reminded of the plane window that I looked out of, I remember hoping I would successfully get through the trip without it being awkward between Mark and I. "Lexie?" I blink and remember where I am. Safe back at the Seattle Grace, Mercy West Hospital. Mark's looking at me like I'm a sick puppy. "Lexie?" he repeats. I look at him "Yeah?" I clear my throat and shove my hands in my jean pockets. "You zoned out again" I look at the floor, I seem to zone out a lot. It's where I see something that reminds me of the crash and that's all I think about until someone talks me back to reality. I guess having a photographic memory and being in a major life-threatening trauma don't go together well. "Im okay now" I reply looking back at him "Okay" he doesn't seem to quite believe me.

Once doctor Marshall comes in I turn to face him. He gives me a smile "Everything seems to be healed well and functioning properly" he tells me. I smile with relief "Does that mean I can come back to work?" Mark takes me hand and I glance at him then look at Doctor Marshall. "As long as you take time to sit down and don't stand constantly for more than five hours you can go back to work" he smiles and me and Mark gives me a hug. I also smile glad I can get back to the old routine.

Mark and I walk hand in hand through the hospital, I want to tell Meredith in person. I find her reading a chart with Derek outside of a patients room "Meredith!" I smile as I walk closer. She and Derek look up from the chart at Me and Mark. "Lexie what are you doing here? is everything okay?" I nod and smile "I was here to get cleared for work" she looks at Mark then at me "Are you sure your ready for that?" I give her a look "Yes. Im more then ready" we both smile then I hug her letting go of Marks hand. As I talk to Meredith Derek and Mark talk to each other. "You know people are going to look at you with pity" she tells me. I nod "I know. but I can handle it, and once I'm here long enough people will look at me normally" she nods "hopefully" I smile trying to break the bit of tension "So how's Cristina?" her smile drops a little "She's good, still in Minnesota but good." I nod "That's great" I look down at my watch "well it's getting close to dinner time so I guess I'll see you soon" I smile and she does too "Bye Lexie" she hugs me "Bye Mer" I hug her back.

We release each other and "Bye Derek" he smiles at me "Goodbye Lexie" I turn and walk away with Mark close behind.

Were on our way home when Mark looks at me "So where do you want to have it?" I look at him curiously "Have what?"

"The wedding" a hint of a smirk on his face.

"Oh..i was thinking we could have it in a church like Alex and Izzies. That was a nice wedding, or we could have it outside like Callie and Arizona which, was also very nice"

He chuckles "So you don't know?"

I frown "Not yet. But I'm leaning towards outside because the sun really brings out your eyes" I smile looking into them now.

"If that's what you want. I just don't want it to be about me"

I let out a small laugh "Of course it's about you, were getting married" I take his hand smiling

"Your the bride" he looks at me then the road.

"I love you" He looks at me

"I love you too" I smile.

I'm on the plane. Meredith and Derek are together, holding hands and making plans to have a baby I think, though I can't hear them clearly. I see Cristina looking out the window and just in front of her is Mark. He's on the phone with Julia. He laughs and continues talking. I Sigh. I see Arizona too, she's towards the front. I look at Mark again then feel myself starting to slip away, he drops his phone and quickly turns to me. I'm falling through the air and through trees. I try to scream but there's no air in my lungs so I watch in fear as the wing crushes me to the ground. I hear mark shouting my name then my vision goes black.
