Okay, i had this in my mind after 12x19 and all the feels it gave me LMAO. I had to get out of my system. It's probably not well written but.. hope you enjoy :)


After that night in the parking lot, things finally started to calm down for April and Jackson, of course, in the beginning it wasn't the same, but they felt progress every day. The next morning both had called their lawyers to call off all the stuff that had happened.

Sometimes they bumped on each other in a hallway and asked how each other were doing, and with each day, they started feeling more and more comfortable around the other. A few weeks after, April had an appointment with Arizona, so she called Jackson, who was turning into the man she still loved with all heart, but had broke her a lot in the past. Of course, she understood why and she had a lot of time to reflect about their divorce, why it had happened, what she could had done to stop it from happened. After giving so much thought, she came to the realisation that she never apologised to him. She had left. Twice. He needed her, but she wasn't there for him. As much as she needed to scape from it all, even him. She never told him, but ever since Samuel died seeing him hurt her for a lot of reasons. She saw Samuel in Jackson, she saw the short moments they had, and deep down she knew that he was broken too, and it hurt her, it was killing her slowly. She HAD to go. But that isn't an excuse for the pain that she caused him being away for so long. She knew that and she wanted to say all of that to him, she was ready.

At the same time, she was so happy for their baby. She had been so frustrate, scared and lonely for the first part of this pregnancy but now, she knew that baby was health, moving and kicking. Kicking! Every time she felt something, it was an rush of joy for her and, by the time she started feeling good enough with Jackson, around 5 months in, she'd call him in the hospital to an on-call-room to talk about baby stuff and let him feel her belly. She was starting to feel whole again. But it wasn't the same. They weren't married, they weren't living together, she missed him hugging him in bed, feeling his warmth and his love. Sometimes she felt that spark in his eyes. "It's only in my head" she thought. It was best if she didn't get her hopes hight, it hurt less to keep that "distance" so to speak. Of course she wanted him, but he had made it very clear that he didn't want her anymore, not as his wife.

6 months in and their relationship couldn't be better, well, not compared to the first months of the pregnancy at least… he'd go her place to check on her almost every night, they started arranging the nursery together, and they had so much fun doing it! Jackson was smiling ear to ear whenever April let him feel her belly, it was his favourite thing in the world.

For Jackson, things with April weren't perfect, but he felt like they were making progress, he was starting to feel like himself again. It helped to know, and feel, and live all the process of being a dad, or preparing to have a family. With April. And this time everything about the baby was okay, everything was going to be okay, he repeated in his head every morning and every time she let him touch her belly, which was becoming more and more frequent.

- "Hey Jackson!" She called him from the hallway. "Come here, quick!" pointing to her belly. She was five months pregnant and getting big. "Baby's really happy today". She was smiling ear to ear.

- "Whoa! He really is!".

- "Why do you always refer to the baby as a he? I feel like it's a girl!"
- "Well, i really want to know, but you wanna keep the surprise thing…. or maybe not…" he says playfully.
- "Ahh okay maybe I wanna know. Next appointment okay? I'm getting really curious and i wanna start prepping the nursery and everything… - Do you…". She stopped. She wanted his help so much. But she had no idea what would be his reaction if she asked.
- "What? Come on April. It's fine.". He looked so… so… calm.
- "oh.. well.. would you.. would you like to come over… later? We should start talking about stuff and arranging everything".
- "Of course". He replied with a smile. Wow she really wanted to hug him right now. They spend a few moments just lost in each others eyes until she was paged.
- "Damn! i have to go. But thank you. Really".
- "No problem. See you later! And April…" He said which made her stop.
- "What?"
- "It's just… never mind…"

Something had definitely happened in that very few moments….


Should i continue? I have some ideas, and we definitely need more Japril in our lives. Say what you think in the reviews :)
