Chapter 1:Two Pink Lines
Yeah thats second hand just keeps slowing down
I swear it stopped twice the last time around
Yeah we'll know the truth in three minutes time
We're just sitting around waiting on two pink lines
Lexie got up slowly from bed. She woke up with an upset stomach and didn’t want to make it worse. She hadn’t been feeling well the past couple of days. She had been nauseous and really tired. She really didn’t know what was wrong but she suspected she caught a bug from the hospital or something like that. She walked into the kitchen to find Mark cooking breakfast.
“Hey,” he smiled over to her. “I made you breakfast if you want something to eat.”
Lexie half smiled to him. “I’m not really hungry. Thank you, though.” She said quietly sitting down across from her husband. Mark and Lexie had been married for about a year now. They were happy, finally. Even after the plane crash.
“Are you okay?” Mark asked noticing something was off with her. She seemed quieter and like she had less energy.
“Yeah, I just don’t feel well. I have a headache and I’m nauseous.” Lexie stated. “Today is my day off. I think I’m just going to go back to bed and sleep this off.”
“Do you want me to stay? I don’t have a busy day today.”
“No, I’ll be okay. You go save lives.” Lexie smiled as she took as small sip of her water.
“Okay,” Mark said as he left the house. “I love you. Call me if you need anything.”
“I will. I love you, too.” She smiled as he left. She moved over to the couch and laid down to watch some TV and hopefully fall asleep to sleep off whatever bug she got. She did end up getting some sleep until she woke up feeling like she was going to throw up. Lexie quickly got up and ran into the bathroom to empty the contents of her stomach. She went over to the medicine cabinet after cleaning herself up and looked for something to ease her stomach. She didn’t find anything but she did find tampons and realized she hadn’t used any in a while. She suddenly pieced it all together and went to call Meredith.
“Hey Lex.” Meredith said picking up the phone. “Mark said you were sick. How are you feeling?”
“That’s kind of what I wanted to talk to you about. Are you busy?” Lexie asked slowly.
“Umm, no. Not right now.”
“So,” Lexie hesitated. “can you bring me a pregnancy test? Or maybe a couple?”
“Yeah, I’ll be over in a few minutes. Do you need anything else?” Meredith said surprisingly calm. Lexie knew she wouldn’t be calm about it when she got to the house though.
“Can we make sure nobody else knows about this? Especially Mark.”
“Yeah, I’ll be there soon.” Meredith said hanging up the phone. She went and grabbed a few pregnancy tests from the supply closet and went over to Mark and Lexie’s apartment. Lexie answered the door and let her in.
“You think you’re pregnant?” Meredith asked as she held out the box of tests and Lexie shut the door behind her.
“Yeah, and I really have to pee so, I’m going to take these now and we’ll talk in a few minutes.” Lexie said taking the tests and going into the bathroom. Lexie paced around the bathroom for those five minutes she waited for the results. She didn’t even know if she wanted a baby right now. She didn’t know if she was ready. Lexie finally got the results and went out to Meredith.
