Life at the Kepner-Avery household was quite normal after so many storms. Jackson and April were finally starting to get along. It wasn't like before of course. Too much had happened and it wasn't like flipping a switch to make all the pain go away. But things were improving.

Jackson would watch the games with Harriet in his lap while April was cooking. They were roommates now. Not much talk happened but it was a comfortable silence most of the time.

April had started going out a few times but after the second she wasn't feeling that excited to try again. "It's not about him. It's me, I have way too many things to care about right now" she kept repeating in her head late at night. Harriet was getting more demanding of her free time now. Trying to walk around, full of energy. Having family time was far more important and amazing than hanging out with a guy she barely knew right?

Jackson of all people was apparently happy putting Harriet at first. He was all about playing with the baby, bonding and being a great dad rather then dating.

That night she went to Harriet's bedroom to check on her, only to find baby and daddy sleeping in the couch. A moment quickly captured by her phone. Jackson would love that picture.


Next morning April woke up really early. She had a very important surgery that morning. She quickly got up and checked her phone to check if there was any news and texted her family with brand new Harriet pics, like she did almost every day.

But that day was feeling a little different, heavier. Something was off, and everything made sense when she looked at her lock screen. The photo was the same she had in her bedroom: baby in her hands in the hospital, one of her favorites. But it was something else that got her attention.

She spent the next moments lost in her thoughts until her pager went off and she to run.


After taking care of a massive car crash and a 4 hour surgery without and deaths April finally had time to breath so she collected her strengths to find Harriet!

In the nursery she found Jackson playing with a very happy baby in his arms.

"Hey. How is day going, you left early this morning"

"Tell me about it. Car crash and surgeries all day. No deaths though, so great day!" She said as Jackson handed their daughter.

"So, do you have any plans for today?" She asked.

"Not really, why?" Jackson quickly responded.

"Would you mind taking care of Harriet tonight?"

"Not at all. You have a date?" - that sounded a little jealous, she pointed in her head...

"Kinda.." she said a little tense.

Jackson didn't want to invade her space so he just nodded in agreement.


A little after 6 p.m. Jackson found April getting ready to go out. She was dressing a black dress. Nothing very elaborate. No make up... She looked beautiful though.

"I'll be back in a couple of hours ok?" She said picking up Harriet and placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Sure. Have fun!"

She made a weird face but thanked him and then left.

Something is going on... he thought.


It was almost midnight when she finally came back home. Both Jackson and Harriet were sleeping and the house was quiet.

April took a bath and went to Harriet's nursery. The idea of having a baby girl to hold and take care was still thrilling for her. She spent a good amount of time watching her sleeping peacefully.


For the next four days, the same happened: April would leave at night only to return after midnight without giving much clue of where she was, or with who...

Jackson wasn't supposed to feel bad right? They weren't a couple anymore. They didn't have feelings for each other anymore... right?

After two days of the weird behavior, those type of questions, and feelings for that matter, started to pop out in his mind. He tried to keep things for himself until he couldn't hold it anymore.

Where was she that she didn't said, comment? Why was she acting all weird? He need to know.

The next night just after she left. He jumped on his car with Harriet. Wouldn't be that bad to follow her right?


So what do you guys think? Should i continue? Give me your thoughts!

PS: I really should update my other fics.
