April: Stop it, just stop it, and listen to me
Jackson: What? I told you what I had to say, I am going
April: No you don't because you don't get it and I didn't get it up until a minute ago because its so not what you just said. When I took my boards and didn't make it I
Jackson wants to leave but April holds him back
April: Stop, stay and listen to me, just listen to me, please I
Jackson: Its all about you and not me, you just want me because I am not available April because when I was, you pushed me away so no April I am not
April: But I didn't, I mean I did and you listen to me Jackson Avery because you owe me that much after everything, you just
April holds Jackson firmly on his sleeve, not letting go of his white coat.
April: Do you know the reason, the real reason why I pushed you away? Why I couldn't be together with you when all I wanted was being with you?
Jackson: What, April I don't understand and I am tiered, it was a long day, a lot of things happened so go on try to convince me why I should give you another chance because to me we are over, you and me it doesn't make any sense, you couldn't be together with me although I wanted to be together with you when you thought you were pregnant, I asked you to marry you and if you would have been pregnant probably we would now live together happily ever after but you wanted to be together with me April, do you did not want to be together with me you pushed me away.
April: Because I thought I did not deserve a guy like you
Jackson: WHAT? A guy like me?
April: Jackson you are my best friend and I slept with you because it felt good and right and it was wonderful one of the most wonderful things that ever happened in my life, and we weren't even married and that was not how I was raised so that is why I was so confused and that is why in the end I messed up, I messed everything up and remember you said you couldn't be anybodys husband and I was so stupid to believe that because you and me ...
Jackson: April we have been through this and
Jackson wants to leave again
April: Don't you dare leaving Jackson, you listen to me until I am finished, until I have said what I have to stay to you, if I have to chain you to that door, you listen to me please, I love you, I loved you from the first moment we bumped into each other but I didn't get it, I didn't get that I loved you immediately that it was possible for me to skip a step to just loving somebody without the phase where you are just madly in love, rose-tinted glasses, butterflies in your stomach, well the butterflies are there always, I mean when I touch you the world stops and...
Jackson: April
April: I was just stupid, so stupid and had issues, tons of them and when we had the boards and I freaked, that was an excuse that I gave myself I didn't understand that these emotions had built up in me for a long long time and they came out on that day, and later, I thought I was punished but I was punishing myself, you know I learned stuff when I grew up that is messed up and you have your mother so you should not talk, you cant talk about being messed up so I pushed you away I am regret it, I love you Jackson
Jackson: That doesn't explain it, April we have been over this, you and me
April: Yes it does, I thought I didn't deserve a guy that is intelligent, sexy and fun. Don't you get that? I was raised that way, the way that you get a good man that you learn to love the man you marry over time, I said yes to Matthew because I thought it's the only thing I deserve, because I thought it was the right thing to do but I love you, I loved you from the beginning but I was stupid not to admit it, I mean how often do I have to say it until your brain is getting it? I love you Jackson Avery and I am begging for forgiveness, so go on, leave you are free, I am going to tell Matthew that it's over because yes it's about me it would be unfair to marry somebody that is only second best because I want you and that wont change so take that! I April love you Jackson, you are my best friend and the man I want to be with, end of story ok?
Jackson: I
Jackson touches April s face, April looks at him and then kisses him softly.
Jackson whispering: I think I am beginning to understand but its crazy and
April smiles
Jackson: My brain, I think, oh my god, I, I think I am
The priest comes out of the patients room and Jackson stops him.
Jackson: Father
Father: Yes?
Jackson: Would you mind doing that again?
Father: Doing what?
Jackson: Marrying two people here in the hospital
Jackson looks at April
Jackson: If you really mean that, if you really mean all of that, that I am the one, then let's do it, if you think and if you are sure that this is what you want then lets do it, right here, right now but if that was all a whole bunch of nonsense then leave, I don't ever want to see you again because I am over this drama, I
April kisses Jackson again until he is out of breath, she smiles and then looks at the Father
April: My name is April Kepner and this is Dr. Jackson Avery, we are both healthy individuals and currently not married but we would like to be, to each other.
Father: I think I can help you with that. Rings?
Jackson turns around and unscrews two saline bottles
Jackson: Would that do for the time being?
Father: Yes, yes it would do
Jackson: Then
Jackson looks at April: Still time
April: I am not leaving you, I am right here, I am not leaving your side ever again. Do you know that for a few seconds when I thought you were dead the pain I was feeling was so overwhelming that I thought I couldn't live without you?
Jackson squeezes April s hand.
Father: Will you April Kepner takes this man Jackson Avery to be you lawfully wedded husband?
April: Yes, I do
Father: And will you Jackson Avery take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Jackson: I do, for the rest of my life.
Father: By the power invested in me by the state of Washington I now declare you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride.
Jackson kisses April
Father: Congratulations
April: Thank you
Father: Sign this and I fill out the rest
Jackson: How
Father: I am always prepared in a hospital you never know
They both sign the certificate
Father: Thank you and congratulations again
He leaves
Jackson: You did not leave
April: I did not leave and we are
Jackson: Married to each other. I did not plan this, I planned to leave, I said what I had to say to you and you did and now we are married
April: Married to each other, this is surreal and feels so
Jackson: Good, you are my wife, wow that sounds, you are my wife. April, my wife, you are my wife
April: Yeah
Jackson: We have to make it work, we just have to after all we have been through.
April: I know are you scared?
Jackson: Yes but I love you, I really do April, I just want to be with you now, April I
April: Follow me
Jackson: Where?
April: I want to sleep with my husband, if that's ok with you
Jackson: But we are both on call and
April: We have beepers and hey, you know we can be quick and we are married now so this is kind of expected of us.
Jackson: Oh my god that is so true.
April: Hey wife always knows best, come on
April pushes Jackson in the next on-call room, flipping off her shoes and getting her shirt while Jackson is closing the door, locking it.
April: I have waited so long for this to happen again
Jackson: I know, me too.
10 minutes later
April: Oh my god this was
Jackson: Amazing, I totally forgot how amazing it was sleeping with you, how could I, you are amazing, you are just perfect
Jackson kisses April again and again
April: I know, that is why I felt guilty because I thought it cant be that good not after everything I heard but you, you are it.
Jackson: What?
April: The perfect man although I have no comparison
Jackson: Wait a second, you and Matthew have never
April: No, I wanted to do it the right way so yes I kissed him but nothing more, I only ever slept with
Jackson kisses April passionately: Oh my god April so
April: I only ever slept with my husband.
Jackson: I love you!
April: I love you more.
10 minutes later Jackson and April bump into Matthew
Matt: April I am, where were you? I was looking all over for you and why
Jackson: I am sorry man, she was with me and
Matthew: You two, oh my you April you and slept together, I cant believe it, she is my fiancée and
Jackson: Man I am so sorry but she is not your fiancée anymore
Matt: Why don't you let me decide that?
April: I married him so
Matt: What? You did what?
April: I married him, you know the couple the buried fire man, a father, he came into the hospital and he married them and then he married us. I love Jackson, I am sorry Matt I can't live without him. When I thought he was dead I wanted to die as well. I am sorry if I hurt you but I can't live without Jackson, he is the one. I am so sorry to tell but I can't be married to you when all I ever wanted in my life was him. I am so sorry
Matt: So, I
Jackson: I am really sorry but I love her, I always did we were just stupid
Matt punches Jackson hard and Jackson tumbles down
April: What, are you crazy? He has broken ribs, do you want to kill him? Do you want that one punctures his heart? You think the bus didn't do it so you do it you idiot? You are a medic, you
April checks on Jackson and helps him back up
April: Are you ok? I mean, Matthew how, I know I hurt you but hey hit me
Jackson: I am ok April, don't worry and he better not be hitting you, I can tell you that.
Matt: Believe me I could have punched harder I mean you stole my fiancée and you slept with her that is so disgusting, you are, how could you do that?
Jackson: I deserved this punch I know that and I slept with my wife and in this country that is perfectly legal.
Stefanie comes running along the hallway looking concerned.
Matt: Don't, don't ask him how he is doing or be nice to him because he just married her. Didn't you know, yes you know breaking up with people is not necessary anymore, they just get married without telling you
Stefanie: I don't, Mousy just died, I needed someone by my side and you, you just married her? You just
Jackson: I am sorry but you and me that was never going to last. You know that and
Stefanie punches him and he falls down again
April: WHAT are you doing? Killing him? You want to become a doctor? What kind of doctor are you? Dr. Death? Don't you dare touching him again he
Stefanie: Believe me I won't, Mousy is dead, but she tried to save the chief and in the meanwhile he slept with you and, you are so disgusting I cannot believe it. How
Jackson: We all tried to save the chief and Mousy, I operated on him and he is alive, my mother is with him so calm down.
Stefanie tries to punch him again and April tries to hold her back
Owen interrupts
Owen: Hey, hey what's going on?
