AN 2:April is not pregnant in this fic.

April saw the man's hands move towards her; they moved so fast that she didn't have time to move out-of-the-way. Before she felt his hands grab her shoulders.

She lets out a scream as Mr. Hunters grabs her shoulders hard. Shoves her as hard as he could.

As April is smashed into the wall behind her, her upper body hits the window frame that looked into one of the trauma room's that was behind her. Hard, so hard that it causes her head to jerk back and hit part of the window frame as well.

April hadn't been this sacred for her own life in a long time. She felt her heart rate speed up to the point, were it felt as if her heart was going to bust right out of her chest. She felt her whole body go in to shock and she couldn't move.


When he heard a small scream of pain and fright in what he knew was April's voice. Jackson drops the equipment that he had been using on the patent into the tray next to him, his gloves followed seconds after. He then ripped open the curtain. His mind and body instantly going into protective husband/best friend mode.

There was only one thought that hit Jackson's mind before he reacted to the site of what was happening with April before he reacted. And, it was 'What the fuck'.

He was then hit with a blind rage at the man who was hurting the person he loved, most in this world.

If you had asked him, at that moment what he was thinking he was gonna do. Jackson wouldn't have been able to tell you. All he knew was that he had to stop what was happening. To protect April.

Keep her safe no matter what; that was his job. From the minute that he realized that he was in love with her he knew he would do anything to protect her, even lay down his life if he had too.


Before he knew what he was doing, Jackson had grabbed the man under his arms and ripped him from April. He then proceeded to throwing the man on to the ground before climbing on top of him

Jackson's fist hit his face, first in the jaw then the nose "You ever come anywhere near that woman again and I'll kill you." he growled then punched him in the cheek a few more times. Before he felt, someone grab him under his arms before lifting him up.

"Easy, Avery, calm down we have this from here." Owen told him as he held the younger man back.

"But.. can you see what he did to April." Jackson barely managed to get out, as his chest heaved with his erratic breathing.

"It's okay, go and check on your wife, she needs you. We'll talk about this later."

When Owen let him go Jackson ran over to where April, was kind of sitting kind of lying on the floor.
As Jackson had pulled Mr. Hunters away from April she had sidled down the wall to the floor.


When he got to April there were a few nurses around her. Trying to help her. "Excuse me.", he said as he started to push his way through the nurses to get to April.
After he got through the nurses, he couched down to her eye level.

It seemed that she felt his presence without him even having to say a word and her tear filled eyes meet his. "Jackson" April cried and threw her arms around his neck.

"Baby, its okay I'm here, I'm here" he whispered to her as he put his arms under her knees and pulled her now shaking body into his own. Placing a kiss on the top of her head as he did so.

April's shaking body molds itself into his own. She tucks her head into the crook of his neck, seeking the warmth, comfort and safety that, she knows his body will provide. "It's okay I've got you" he whispered to her before taking charge.

"Okay let's set her up in trauma bay 2. I'm pretty sure she's going in to shock. Page Bailey, Grey and Shepherd. Jackson told the nurses around him one of which happened to be Darcey who ran off to page the required doctor's.


Jackson carried April into the trauma bay where the nurses are setting up the room.

"April, Baby I have to put you down. So, the other doctors can check you to make sure your alright" Jackson told her as he tried to put her down on the bed in the trauma room. All April did was bury her head further into the crook of his neck. Her whole body then started to shake even more.

"Hey, April calm down, it's okay I'm here, you are safe and I'm not going to let anything happen you I promise, but you have to let me put you down. I promise that I'm not going anywhere okay?"

April gave him a small nod and let Jackson place her on the bed. Before she removed her head out from, the crook of his neck and unwrapped her hands from around his neck she begged quietly "Please don't leave"
"I'm not going anywhere" Jackson told her then he placed a kiss on her forehead.

When he pulled back he took a hold of her hand so she would know that he was still there and waited for the others to get there so they could work on her.

Derek, Meredith and Bailey all run into the room at the same time
"What's happened?" Derek asks

"She was smashed up against a wall outside the other trauma bay by a patient or someone with a patient I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure she hit her head and there maybe other injures to her body. She also gone in to shock as far as I can tell." Jackson filled them in.

"Oh my..." Both Bailey and Meredith exclaim "What are we both doing here through?" Meredith asked him as she motioned between herself and Bailey.
"Well I kinda did a number on the guy that did this to her." He tells her, holding up his injured hand as proof.

"Okay, Jackson come with me and I'll clean that up for you and Bailey can stay here and help April."

"No I can't leave her, Mere, I promised her that I wouldn't go anywhere and I will not go back on my word to her. Just fix it here, please." he begs

Meredith gives him a warm smile. Before telling him "Okay, then I'll go and get the stuff."
