Chapter one
They both knew that this day would eventually come but they couldn't help but wish that they could keep this secret to themselves for a bit longer..
They had been secretly married for three weeks, they lived in wedded bliss at home but the minute they left the house for work they pretended to not be together.. April kepner Avery was growing tired of hiding her marriage from the world, she wanted the whole world to know that Jackson Avery is her husband.. She couldn't help but smile everytime she thinks about her husband jackson..
They had agreed that they would keep their marriage secret till things settled after the wedding fiasco.. Jackson still didn't know what possessed him to stand up and proclaim his love for april on her wedding day in a barn filled with her family and friends and Matthew's family and friends but he didn't regret it for one minute.. He knows he and april destroyed two lives on that day but it was still better than letting the love of his life marry another man.. He loved his wife very much, more than he has ever loved anything or anyone in his life, he smiles everytime he thinks about it, Dr. Mrs. April kepner Avery, he liked her official title(one she will use once the world knows of their nuptials) but he loved Mrs April Avery even more..
This new no- fraternization rule was the push they needed for them to tell the board about their secret elopement.. Jackson called a board meeting for that thursday afternoon. As all the board members and Owen Hunt filed into the boardroom they couldn't help but wonder what the impromptu meeting was all about.. Jackson entered the boardroom and gestured for everyone to take a seat. "Okay, I will get right down to business, I know you all have patients to attend to. Okay so you all remember what happened at Dr Kepner's wedding 3weeks ago. You all saw april and I run out of the barn together, but when we returned to work we went on speaking terms. The only time you have seen us interact is when consulting on each other's cases.." Before jackson could go any farther owen hunt spoke up "okay jackson please get to the point I have an incoming trauma 15 minutes away.."
Just as jackson was about to speak the woman of the moment entered the boardroom. Meredith exchanged a knowing look with jackson, and he couldn't help but grin.. " Okay" said jackson, "I would like to introduce the board to Dr April kepner Avery.." Arizona, meredith, owen, derek and even Twisted Cristina hugged the couple and congratulated them on their nuptials.
After the board meeting april pulled aside her husband and told him their friends might be happy for them but not everyone was going to feel the same way...
