Based off of a prompt asking for Jackson to talk April through a panic attack. Written on day 67. Title changed from the original on Tumblr.

Jackson's phone rang and he answered quickly, in a rush. "Babe, you got out of here just in time, we had a power outage a few minutes ago, I gotta go…see you tonight, OK? Love you."

"J-J-Jackson, I'm n-n-n-not out yet, I was heading to the car, I'm stuck in the e-e-e-elevator, p-p-p-please don't h-h-h-hang up. I think I'm having a p-p-panic attack."

Jackson got up from his desk, knowing he'd have to check on the hospital while calming April down, he had no choice. "Breathe sweetheart, take deep breaths, I'm right here. You are fine, you aren't having a panic attack. We're just talking OK? Relax, breathe honey. It's not good for the baby if you panic, right? Breathe. Where are you?"

"W-W-West tower."

"April," he tried to sound casual. "You've stopped the west tower elevator before."

"That's n-n-ot funny, you were here. The lights were on. I wasn't pregnant."

"Not yet you weren't," Jackson whispered, as he bumped into Owen in the hall. "You check on North and South towers, I'll get East And West," he told the chief.

"Why? ER's in the west tower."

"J-J-Jackson, please don't tell him, please."

"Never," he promised. And then, loud enough for April to hear, "Bill went to check the West tower fuse box, says that's where the master controls are. Just called me a minute ago, says it's no big deal, should be up in a few minutes. But you know, we gotta reassure everyone. I'm heading to meet Bill right now. Please just check North and South." Owen nodded and Jackson turned his attention back to his wife. "Did you hear all that, that was the truth, OK? I promise. Tell me what you're gonna do when you get home?"

"I was going to stop at the bakery, because I really want cream puffs. And then m-m-make you taco soup for dinner."

"Taco soup, huh? Sounds good, how do you make that?"

"Code Blue!" April heard Callie scream from wherever Jackson was. She whimpered as she heard the static when Jackson threw his phone in his pocket.

"W-what was that," April asked, five minutes later when he was back on the phone.

"Nothing, just a code blue. Handled it. Back to this taco soup."

"Jackson, you throw cheese and beef and sour cream into a tomato base, this isn't h-h-h-elping me at all."

He heard April begin to cry. "OK, OK April, what would we do if I was there, picture me there."

"You would make a stupid joke about how you were glad to be stuck there, so you didn't have to be responsible for anything." April laughed.

"Absolutely, you know me so well baby."

"And then you would wrap your arms around me and start kissing me, to distract me." She smiled.

"Does it work?" Jackson asked, grinning as he took the stairs two at a time.

"Yes," April admitted, eyes closed, rubbing her belly as her baby kicked.

"Where, where am I kissing you, Bird?"

April groaned. "Jackson, we wouldn't have sex, and we're not home, you're not allowed to call me that unless we're home." But he could tell she was smiling, she was beginning to calm down, finally.

"OK, but…I think we would…"

April cut him off. "No, because I'm big as a whale right now, and you'd respect the rule."

"Right. No sex at work while the bump is visible. Fine, I'd just give you a lot of hickeys, then."

"Ew, no. You'd get bored after awhile, because you can never just kiss," Jackson knew that comment came with an eye roll.

"100 percent false, kissing you is the least boring activity in the world."

April ignored him. "So, you'd want to play the name game for the Princess…"

Jackson finally arrived at the East Wing, checking on the peds floor. "Maybe so…A…"

"Ariel."

"No, my daughter is not a mermaid." He turned to Arizona, "Everything good here, batteries and stuff? Power should be on in 30 minutes, tops. Promise."

"30 minutes?" The panic crept back in April's voice.

"Sooner, Bird. Sooner, but if I lowballed it I'd be in trouble. Ashleigh."

"Boring. Alice."

"No, nothing my mother would instantly approve of. Plus that's your sister's name, babe."

"Ugh, you're being so difficult Jackson. I can name my kid after mu sister. It's cute, and it's coming back…"

"We are not naming our kid according to a trend, like she's a hat or something…Arianna."

"It's cute, but if you don't wanna go with the trends we can't do it…that's one of the most popular hats these days…What about…Arabella?"

"That's so pretty babe."

"She just kicked when I said it, I swear." April smiled.

"When you get home I want you to put that name on the list, OK? And forget about the taco soup, you hear me? You go home and you update the list and then you draw a bath."

"Mmm. A bubble bath?"

"So many bubbles. And then you pour yourself some of that sparkling cider or that milkshake I made yesterday. And then you get in the bath and wait for me, OK? And when I get home, I'm gonna…"

"Jackson I'm a whale, I'm not in the mood to…" But the more she thought about it, the more she might be.

"Always in the gutter, your mind is. You yell at me, but you are just as bad, babe…"

April giggled, guilty. "Oh yeah, what were you thinking about, mister?"

"Uhh buying cream puffs and making you taco soup and feeding you while you lay in the tub til your toes turn to raisins, duh."

"Oh. Well how about I make the soup and you can feed me the cream puffs?"

"Ha! See, you don't trust me in the kitchen. When the lights go out, the truth comes out."

"I trust you, babe. It's just…I'm clearly a better cook and you'll be late and I'm starving so…"

"I'm not gonna be late, Bird, as soon as these lights come on I'm giving Owen orders and coming home to take care of my girls."

"Babe, I hear you…" There were tears in her voice.

"Hey, no crying, I'm right here, right here waiting for you." Suddenly the power came back and the elevator started moving.

"I love you so much, Jackson. So much."

The elevator opened, and April ran to her husband, breaking down in tears. "I love you too," Jackson said, hanging up his phone and holding her as tightly as he could in her current state. "Hey, hey, stop crying and kiss me…a blackout without your kisses is the most boring thing in the world." April laughed and kissed him. She didn't stop until he got paged. Then she went home to cook dinner and take a bath and wait for more.
