Title: Redefined

Rating: PG

Summary: Four more times Lexie and Mark redefined their relationship. Very short and very fluffy.

Even when Mark Sloan was in his early thirties he never saw himself being married. Even a year earlier he never saw himself as someone's husband. But everything changed when he met Lexie Grey. He never truly loved a girlfriend, until Lexie.

He remembered the first time he realized he might love her. It was after she broke his penis. He was lying in a hospital bed, humiliated, when she came into the room and crawled in be next to him. She stroked his hair until he fell asleep.

He knew he loved her when she was convinced that she had broken him, even though she was the one who put him back together.

He remember the first time he thought he might want to marry her someday. It was at Arizona Robbins' surprise birthday party, when she talked about how much she loved it when her parents threw her a surprise birthday party…When she was seven.

He knew he wanted to marry Lexie Grey two weeks earlier. He had been sick with the flu and she took care of him. She made him homemade chicken noodle soup and brought him all his meals in bed. Again, she would stroke his hair until he fell asleep.

Mark knew he was not a romantic guy, but he knew Lexie was a romantic at heart. That is why he had planned a more elaborate proposal then he ever thought he would.

He had the day off and Lexie was working. He spent most of the afternoon decorating their apartment with balloons and streamers. He nearly took them down twice in fear she would say no.

He waited in the living room for an hour and a half before he heard her at the door. He took a deep breath, standing the in middle of the living room, surrounded by balloons and streamers.

"Surprise!" Mark shouted, smiling nervously when Lexie entered their apartment.

"What the-" Lexie laughed, "Mark, what's going on here?"

"Surprise." He repeated as he knelt down on one knee, pulling the ring box from his pants pocket.

"Oh my God…" Lexie dropped her purse to the floor, "Mark…" Her hands covered her mouth in surprise and tears sprung to her eyes, knowing what was about to happen.

"Lexie I love you...Will marry me?"

Lexie kneeled down in front of Mark. "I will absolutely marry you." She was crying now. As she held out her left hand so Mark could slip the ring on her ring finger. "It's beautiful." Her hands cupped his face as she kissed him. "I love you so much."

Mark felt his heart race when he saw Lexie in her wedding dress for the first time. She looked so beautiful. It was white and frilly; there was a purple sash tied around its waist. She looked flawless. The smile on her face as Thatcher walked her down the aisle completed the look.

"You look beautiful." He whispered when she reached him.

"You look handsome." She whispered back.

Mark barley heard a word the preacher said for the rest of the ceremony. All he cared about was saying I do and spending the rest of their lives together.

He knew that the kiss he gave his wife after they were pronounced husband and wife was not very churchy.

"I love you Mr. Sloan." Lexie smiled later, in the limo ride to the reception.

"I love you Mrs. Sloan." Mark told her before kissing her.

"I love the way that sounds…" Lexie whispered, "Say it again?"

"I love you Mrs. Sloan." He kissed her neck. "Mrs. Sloan."

They had been married for two years next week. Six months into their marriage she stopped taking birth control. Two days after their first wedding anniversary they actively started to try to have a baby.

Now, almost a year later Lexie held a positive pregnancy test in her hand. She couldn't wait to tell Mark. She grabbed her camera, taking a picture of the pregnancy test she held in her hands, deciding this would be the perfect anniversary present.

"I have one more present for you." Lexie told Mark two days later. "Here you go." She smiled widely as he unwrapped the small box.

"Lexie…" He picked up the picture from the box. "Is this what I think it is?"

Lexie nodded, "I'm pregnant. We are going to have baby."

"How are you feeling?" Mark asked. They were both lying in a hospital bed, Lexie holding their baby daughter in her arms.

"Happy." Lexie whispered. "I am so unbelievably happy right now. I'm one big ball of happy." She laughed as she felt tears fall from her eyes. "She is so perfect, isn't she?"

"Of course she is; she's ours." Mark kissed the top of his daughter's head.

"I just can't believe she has been inside me all these months." Silent tears continued to fall. "We made her Mark…Isn't that amazing. You and I did this." She wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Do you have any ideas what we should name her yet?" They had never been able to agree on a girl's name.

"I want to name her what I'm feeling right now…"

"I don't want to name our daughter Happy."'

Lexie laughed, "Not happy. Joy. I am feeling so much joy right now…And it's because of her." She studied the baby for a moment, "Do you think she looks like a Joy?"

Mark nodded, "Joy is perfect." He took baby Joy from Lexie, "Hi Joy. I'm your Daddy." Joy yawned, "My baby Joy…" He kissed Joy's forehead. "Since you got to pick her first name, I think I should get to pick her middle name."

"I think that's fair…So what's her name, Daddy?" She smiled as she snuggled against Mark, her thumb caressing Joy's tiny cheek.

Mark kissed the top of Lexie's head, "Mommy…Meet Joy Alexandra Sloan."
