I'm re watching Grey's at the moment and am at the end of series six, where Mark proposed to Lexie. I didn't like how she just stood there and it was never mentioned again so I'm trying to fix that. Small chapter to start and there will be more if people like it.


"Lex?"

She turned around, seeing Mark and hated the way her heart beat faster, just at his appearance. His low voice, the look in his eyes. The list of reasons her heart raced seemed to keep going up the longer she looked at him. "I'm still in love with you." Oh God, she thought to herself. She didn't know how much more her heart could take. "I tried not to be, but it didn't work. Sloan's gone. There is no baby. I want another chance. I'm in love with you Lexie."

She thought that for a moment, her heart might have stopped. Actually stopped working. She'd been longing to hear that from Mark for so long, and he chooses now? The day that she and Karev have officially become an item? "Mark, I…" God, how was it so hard to say this? "I have a boyfriend."

"I know." He sighed, eyes still burning into hers. "I'm telling you, you could have a husband." She froze. He couldn't possibly be serious could he? Mark watched her have absolutely no reaction at all. He waited for a few seconds but she was stunned into silence. So he walked away. At that moment Alex came back and put and arm around Lexie's shoulders.

"You ready to go?"

"Er, no," Lexie said. "Look, you go to Meredith's. I'll catch up. I have to… check on someone."

"Okay," ALex said, a slight frown on his face. "I'll see you later." He kissed her cheek and left the hospital. Lexie stood still, wondering what on earth she was going to do. She had feelings for Mark, she knew she did and burying them by sleeping with Alex hadn't exactly made her feel better. If anything it made her feel worse. But things changed, and she was now in a relationship with him. Not just sex. What if she was in a relationship with the wrong man? No, that wasn't a what if, because if she were being honest with herself, she knew she was with the wrong man. The problem was she had no idea what to do about it. She was a mess. Mark asking her to marry him…? And he didn't even ask the question either. He just let her know that he was available if she chose him. That was not a proper proposal, in any way, shape or form. You didn't just tell a girl that "she could have a husband" if she wanted to. It was insane. Crazy. And yet… No she couldn't be considering it, could she?

"Are you okay?" She was drawn from her thoughts by a nurse she didn't recognise looking at her. "You've been standing there for twenty minutes, staring into space."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just have somewhere I need to be." Lexie quickly left the hospital and headed to her car.
