Our Family Wedding
April sat on the bed of their New York City loft and listened to Jackson her boyfriend of 8 months on the phone with his mother Catherine.
"Yeah mom I will be on the first flight to Seattle tomorrow" Catherine Avery lived in Seattle with her husband Richard Webber
"Yeah I love you too bye" Jackson said as he hung up the phone
"Well did you tell her?" April said staring at him cautiously
"No but as soon as we get to Seattle I will tell her about us, the engagement and the fact that her son decided to go into plastics instead of neurosurgery."
"How is it possible that we have been together for almost a year and you still have not told your mother about us?" April said putting her hand on his shoulder
"Well my mother is a very judgmental woman and may eat you alive," He said as April's hazel eyes widened "but" he said while kissing her shoulder "Once we get there I will tell her everything. I will even tell her about us going to Laos for a year to volunteer for Doctors without borders." As he kissed her on the lips and pushed her back on the bed "Okay but no more lying we are telling your mom everything" She said as he silenced her.
The Next day
Catherine Avery Webber roamed the halls of Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital and she looked in on several OR's. Lexie Grey was doing a facial reconstruction with her husband Mark in OR 1. Her large pregnant stomach lightly grazed the patient as she stepped closer to finish his stitches.
In OR 2 Meredith Grey was working with Arizona Robbins who had just lost her one of her childhood friends to a horrible terminal illness.
In OR 3, her husband Richard was doing a liver transplant with Dr. Bailey.
She was anxiously waiting her son's arrival She hadn't seen her only son in a year and she was excited to see how he was doing.
At the airport
Jackson and April were getting off the plane as Jackson's cell phone rang. The number that popped up on his screen was not his mother's but his stepfather Webber."Hello?"
"Hey Jackson how are you?"
"I'm fine I'm just at the airport with April," he said as April tried to hail a cab. "Did you tell your mother about her?" Richard said cautiously
"No but I will as soon as we get to the hospital"
"Jackson-"
"I know Richard I know I will tell her I swear" Jackson answered in an exasperated voice.
"Fine I will see you when you get here" Richard responded before he hung up
Jackson stared at his phone thinking about how he would tell his mother that not only was he in a relationship but he was engaged.
"Jackson" April called as she started to open the cab door
"Yeah I'm coming" He quickly forgets about his previous thought and put his and April's suitcase in the trunk.
Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital
(Resident locker room)
"Did you hear that Catherine Avery's son is supposed to be coming here today" Meredith said to Cristina as she changed into her scrubs
"Why" Cristina asked
"Apparently he wanted to get in some last minute studying before our boards and he is supposedly like some neuro resident god. Even Derek is excited to meet him" Meredith said
"He's probably just some prissy trust fund mama's boy who wanted to be at the same hospital where his mom is the chief of surgery and an examiner " Cristina replied
"Who are you guys talking about" Alex asked as he walked in late
"Catherine Avery's son" Meredith said
"Great another Avery in this hospital we already have the head bitch and her evil offspring Elizabeth" Alex responded rolling his eyes. He had strong sense of disdain in his voice. Alex hated Catherine when he was an intern she told him he had stumpy hands and it was a miracle if he could become a surgeon without butchering a patient in the process. Elizabeth Avery made it her life's mission to torture Alex being a Peds attending this year she had taken every opportunity to belittle Alex in front of his patients
"Maybe he is really is as good as they say he is" Meredith replied
"Oh please Mer that kid is probably just as annoying as his mother and sister," Cristina said pulling on her lab coat and leaving the locker room.
In the lobby
"Hey Catherine when is your son getting here?" Derek Shepherd asked as he walked beside Catherine. He had heard that her son was interested in Neuro and couldn't wait to take him under his wing if he truly had as much potential as Catherine said he did.
"His plane landed an hour ago so he should be here soon," Catherine said looking at her watch.
"Is he here yet?" Elizabeth Avery said as she stood next to her mother.
"No" Catherine and Derek replied simultaneously
"Is he here yet" Richard asked as he stood next to Derek
"No!" Catherine, Derek and Elizabeth answered.
A moment later a yellow cab pulled up in front of the hospital and the long awaited Jackson Avery exited from the left side.
"Baby!" Catherine screamed pulling Jackson into a strong hug and kissing both of his cheeks leaving her lipstick stains.
"Nice to see you baby brother" Elizabeth said hugging her brother
"It's nice to see Jackson" Richard responded as he eyed him cautiously. Only Richard had noticed the red haired women sitting in the back seat waiting for Jackson to mention her presence.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Doctor Shepherd" Jackson said shaking the man's hand
"The pleasure is mine I have heard great things about Jackson Avery" Derek responded
A small framed red haired woman had just exited the cab and walk around towards Jackson as Catherine and Elizabeth finally became aware of her presence.
"Jackson you have been so rude who is this young woman?" Catherine said in her seemingly sweet but domineering voice as she stared at the small framed woman with pale skin and hazel eyes
"Ummm" Jackson said looking back and forth between Richard and April
April stared up at him with her big hazel eyes that he could not refuse and finally worked up the courage to look his mother in the eye.
"Mom this is April, my fiancée" Jackson said as Catherine's eyes widened and Elizabeth stared in between her brother and his fiancée
