"She was alone with a paranoid schizophrenic?! Don't you remember the last time she was alone with one?! He ended up needing surgery! and now she needs stitches. How could you be so careless?"
Callie looked off guard and offended.
"This isn't my fault Mark!" she said loudly, but not loud enough to be yelling.
"Then who's fault is it? please enlighten me! Because last time I remember talking to you, you said that you would keep an eye on Lexie! Now she can't stand on both feet!" I counter
I expect her to be angry with me, but all I see, looking at her now, is sympathy. Geez she is so hard to be pissed at.
"Don't look at me like that" I say sounding whinier than I meant to.
"She'll recover from this, Mark." Callie said trying to convince me. She probably felt guilty about it too.
................
As I walk through the door of my apartment I breathe the familiar smell of home. and apparently food. I glance over at the kitchen and see Lexie trying to balance on one foot as she takes a dish out of the oven.
"Alexandra Caroline" I say disappointed in her.
Lexie jolts toward me and frowns "If you call me by my full name I'm going to think I'm in trouble. it's really annoying" she finished pulling the dish out and set it on the stove, then closed the oven.
"You are in trouble. You have to be using crutches, Lexie" I slip off my jacket and lay it on the counter.
"I'm fine. I've always had good balance anyways" She said with a smile. Her gaze was directed toward my jacket. "Marcus Eric Sloane" she said mockingly.
"Lexie, what do you want?" I said tiredly.
"You know better than to put your jacket on the counter" she said acting like my mother.
I sigh and kick off my shoes "I pay for the apartment I can do whatever I want to" I say with a smug grin on my face.
She rolls her eyes and takes the oven mitts off her hands and tossed them on the counter.
"I rocked a surgery today. I was like a king in that o.r. I mean, I repaired a dudes nose that was split in half. it was hard, but it just makes it that much more impressive" I smile and plop down on the couch. Once I'm comfortable I glance at Lexie, who is cutting up something in a dish.
"What did you make? you don't cook." I say just realizing that she made dinner
"I told you, Im gonna be a mom and I want to be able to cook him or her, yummy meals and snacks. So I'm getting some practice in" She said looking up at me and smiling just a little bit, enough to show she was proud of herself.
"Oh! That reminds me" I get up and grab the button from my pants pocket. "Here" I hold up the button that says
'I'm Pregnant!'
And has a teddy bear with a bunch of balloons on it.
Lexie puts the knife down and limps over to me "What in the world is this?"
A slight smile tugging at the corners of her lips
"I figured you could wear it to work. That way everyone would know" I say slightly quietly.
"I mean, people won't be surprised. The Sloans are unusually fertile" I continue
"I know" Lexie replies picking up the pin-on-button.
I nod and start to walk to the bedroom.
"Where are you going now?" Lexie asks curiously and I hear her set the button down on the counter.
"To relax nakedly" I reply and glance back at her looking perplexed.
"Lexie, I'm going to take a shower" I say reassuring her that I'm not going to lay in bed naked for the rest of the night.
"Oh, okay" She replies with lightly blushed cheeks.
I wink at her and then head off to shower.
..............................................................
As I sit down and take in the scents of the good food Lexie has made a smile spreads on my face.
"Well you didn't burn anything"
Lexie gives me a look, I know she tried really hard to do it right. and she did.
"Of course I didn't." she replies casually as she places a bite of lasagna in her mouth.
I shrug and do the same. I'm surprised when I hear a knock on the door. I look at Lexie and see she's mirroring my expression.
"Expecting anyone?" I ask as I push back the chair and stand up.
"No.." she replies.
When I get to the door I open it up to see the smiling faces of Derek and Meredith.
"Uh, hey" I say confused as to why they're here.
"Hope you don't mind us stopping by unannounced but we figured you guys wouldn't mind" Derek replies.
I glance at Lexie and see her smiling. If she's happy that they're here, then i am.
I open the door wider "Sure come on in" Derek and Meredith smile as they walk in and take their coats off.
"There's enough lasagna for all of us" Lexie says standing up.
"Great, it smells wonderful" Meredith says sitting in the chair next to Lexie.
Lexie smiles back, obviously proud that her sister approves.
"I'll get the extra plates I guess"
I walk to the kitchen and open up the cabinet and take out two plates.
I return with two plates and two forks. I set them on the table in front of them and sit down myself.
"So what brings you two here?" I ask as I take another bite.
"Well Meredith was telling me how she barely sees Lexie anymore, and I don't see you hardly ever" Derek says scooping out some green beans and placing them on his plate next to his lasagna.
"Yeah I guess we don't see each other much" Lexie agrees looking at Meredith.
"Well it doesn't surprise me at all you wanted to spend more time with me, who doesn't?" I comment to Derek with a hint of sarcasm.
He chuckles with annoyance that I've learned to pick up over the years.
"Lets eat" Lexie says smiling.
............................................................
"So to be truthful, yes I missed you very much. But the reason why I came here is because I have some news."
Meredith says after everyone finishes eating.
I glance at Derek and see him smile. Then I see Lexie's looking at Meredith expectantly.
"Go on, tell me!" Lexie says anxiously.
Meredith smiles at Derek and then to Lexie "I'm pregnant!" she grins.
At first I see Lexie register this, her smile leaves her face before she grins
"Really? Wow! congratulations!" Lexie pulls Meredith into a hug and I look at Derek.
"Congrats Derek" he smiles and I stand up and pick the dishes up off the table. I bet Lexie will be unhappy, but i'll just convince her it's a good thing. how am I going to do that?
As I put the dishes in the sink I glance over at Lexie who is forcing a smile on her face. I knew it.
