1: Having it All
Jackson Avery never thought his life would turn out like this. He was a Board-Certified Surgeon in Plastic Surgery; lived in a beautiful apartment overlooking the Seattle skyline; and best of all: married to the beautiful April Kepner. April Kepner-Avery. That was going to take some getting used to. Suggesting they get married was the best decision he ever made, and being the best husband he could be was important to him. Standing up in front of all their coworkers and her family took guts that Jackson didn't even know he had. But he knew that no matter her decision was that he had to tell her how he felt. He now understood why Mark Sloan gave him that speech about love. He never got the chance to be with Lexie the way they deserved to be together, and Jackson will always be thankful that he and April have that chance now and forever. He went back to cooking when he heard a door open.
"Good morning handsome," he heard April say as she came out of the bathroom.
"Good morning, beautiful," he replied, "breakfast is almost ready. We gotta get to the hospital early today." He placed the two plates of strawberry pancakes on the kitchen table, watching April as she poured the syrup onto hers, then passed him the bottle.
Just last night, Jackson had told the board members of Grey Sloan Memorial, that he and April were husband and wife. And it felt so good! There was no more hiding and sneaking around, even if April liked the idea of it. Telling the world that she was his wife meant that he could finally be free and enjoy being a newlywed. He also knew that it meant more hatred and gossip from Stephanie, Matthew, and the other residents and paramedics. But they would face it together because they had made promises the day they got married.
"What are you thinking about over there?" April asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"I'm thinking about how much I love you, how lucky I am that you chose me, and how I can't wait to have everything with you."
April got up from her chair to sit down in his lap. She took his face in her hands, giving him a deep, passionate, and soulful kiss. She started to laugh a little when he kept his eyes closed a little bit longer. He finally opened his eyes after a few seconds.
"I love you, too, Jackson. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you as my husband," she said smiled. Jackson pushed her up so that they were both standing, and ran to their leaving April to wonder what was going on. But her question was answered when she saw him come with a wedding ring in each hand.
"Starting today, these rings will not leave our fingers, unless absolutely necessary." He slipped April's ring onto her finger, then handed her his to do the same. They felt like they could face the world now. Smiling at each other, they finished getting ready and cleaning up, before walking out the door to get to work.
When they arrived at the hospital, holding hands and laughing, it was April who noticed Stephanie Edwards giving them a death glare. Instead of taking the elevator, she decided to take stairs leaving April and Jackson alone on the elevator. And instead of letting her feel badly, Jackson took the opportunity to give her a quick on her lips and forehead, giving April the reassurance she needed. But their peace did not last long once the elevator doors opened.
"Jackson Avery! Get your narrow behind over here, boy! What the hell have you done?" The whole surgical floor heard Catherine Avery scream at the top of her lungs.
