Chief Webber: Congratulations April
Catherine: Congratulations April, you can call me mom now.

Catherine: Yes you are!
April laughs: I have been called worse, but mom it is, its on honor.
Catherine hugs both
Jackson: I thought you would kill me, actually because we didn't, I mean I spoiled you the fun of
Catherine: That follows, I get my big bash, don't you worry, if you now don't move into the house I bought for you and fulfill your duties as an Avery. I mean now that you are married then I rethink everything but for now, which mother wouldn't be proud if her son married another doctor and not one of the nurses he was secretly screwing around with.
Jackson: I knew I would get an insult like this. Thanks mom for being yourself.
Catherine: Your welcome son.
Jackson: But I think we can talk about this, you bought me a hospital what more can there be

Catherine: Have fun
Jackson and April leave
April: Your mom
Jackson: Is a handful but you will love the house but I have to warn you its big, very big.
They drive onto a driveway that is pebbled with white cobblestones, the car creates a crackling sound when they fly over them
April: That is
Jackson: Our new home
April: Wow, I am, we will, it's a palace. Jackson, I thought
Jackson: Don't worry, we can make it our own but first
Jackson lifts April up and carries her over the door
Jackson: Certain traditions are good to be kept and we don't want to disappoint my mom, what do you say should we start practicing?
April: I thought you would never ask
3 hours later
Callie: Leah, this is your sister
Sofia: Hello
Leah hugs her, sits down and plays with her
Callie: This is
Leah: Thank you, thank you for making me part of your family and I am sorry I should have said something earlier but I couldn't, I
Callie: Mark was special and you are his kid. I still find that hard to believe you know but you didn't know better, we all make mistakes and you are on the way to become a great doctor, Mark would be so proud, my god look at you
Tears start to roll down Callie s face.
Leah: Well, my mom was 16 when she had me
Callie: He would have loved you if he had known. Why didn't you tell him when you started here?
Leah: I wanted him to get to know me first. I didn't want to turn up and tell him, I wanted to earn his respect first
Callie: I see
Leah: One of the biggest mistakes I ever made.
Callie: I am sure he knows now and you are gonna be the best big sister in the world for Sofia now.
Leah: I am trying, I never had any siblings, but I am going to be there for her and she is so cute and did you know I was made godmother to Bailey?
Callie: I heard, it was the only right thing to do. You will be great and Derek loved Mark although well Mark slept with Addison Derek first wife.
Leah: What?
Callie: Yes, that is when Derek moved out here and then he met Meredith, Addison came back but Derek and Meredith, I guess Derek never forgave Addison but he forgave Mark and so Mark stayed, Addison moved on and after a lot of troubles Meredith and Derek ended up together. They are perfect for each other if I may say so.
Leah: Well they seem to very happy
Callie: They are and you are part of this now. Mark was about to marry Lexi Meredith half-sister, she died in the crash as well. Lexi was also in love with Jackson who now also owns the hospital.
Leah: How come
Callie: Well I slept with Mark before I realized I prefer women.
Leah: Wow I
Callie: You will learn all these little secrets over time don't worry. The most important thing is that you are here and that we got another part of Mark back. You and Sofia, Mark is in you and that is part of why they love you but we also love you because of yourself don't worry.
Leah: I
Callie: Hey breathe, everything will be ok. I wanna kick Arizona s ass for the moment and I might throw some fits where you have to take Sofia but in the end I know that it will be ok, it always works out one way or the other.
Leah: True
Callie: Well you know we will fight over you.
Leah: Fight?
Callie grins: Well Meredith is a general surgeon, Derek is neuro, Owen trauma, I am Ortho and Alex and Arizona are little people. Mark was plastic so believe me everybody will want you to work with him, to teach you, you are the next trophy.
Leah: Wow, I never thought, wow so no pressure. What about cardio?
Callie: Forget it, you don't wanna be abused by Christina you are our puppy now and Christina is not able to respect boundaries in that sense that she would hold back, now that is one specialty you cant choose.
Leah: Ok, I think I was always fascinated to help people become themselves again.
Callie: No, you cant go into crazy ward, forbidden
Leah: I meant plastic or more reconstructive surgery.
Callie smiles: I talk to Jackson tomorrow, he will teach you everything Mark taught him…
Leah: Good
Callie: Keep your options open
Leah: Of course, does this mean I get more
Callie: Just give your best, you will be sourrounded by all of us all the time anyway.
Leah starts crying: I
Callie: Hey, you came home, you could not have chosen a better moment, ok.
The next morning
Stefanie: Here they are, the happy couple. Traitor, imposter
Shane: Shshs, you are not able to say that in here anymore. He is the boss, you wont be able to change that and you knew that from the beginning.
Stefanie: I don't care
Leah: Well, I think they look great together and you just wanted to use him anyway for career plans.
Stefanie: That is not true.
Leah: Really?
Stefanie: Well, you are really a handful, not telling us who you are. Practically royalty, why are you still here with us?
Leah: I am still one of you
Stefanie: No, you are not one of us, you are one of them now. I have seen the way Owen looked at you this morning, the way that Derek takes you under his wings, thinking that he just got a long lost daughter back, it makes me sick.
Shane: Stef is right Leah, Dr. Shepard looks at you the same way he looks at his newborn son. Like you are some kind of miracle
Leah: I should have told them earlier
Shane: Yeah but that wouldn't change the facts, you are one of them, you are what you are because of your family and because Jo is now with Alex and Heather is dead Stef and I are the only ones left
Leah: I am sorry but
Shane: Its not your fault, they need you now go be with them we just try to survive this program you wont have that problem anymore.
Dr. Bailey comes over
Leah: Dr. Bailey
Dr. Bailey: Dr. Murphy, I mean Dr. Adelstein or is it Sloan?
Leah: I actually don't know that, I haven't thought that, I am sorry but
Dr. Bailey: Why don't I call you Leah?
Leah: That would be great, thx Dr. Bailey.
Dr. Bailey: Leah it is, can you help me put together the meds into the cupboard that I destroyed 3 days ago.
Leah: Sure
Stef: Not everybody gets it
Shane: I would not be so sure about that
Miranda Bailey: Its great you know
Leah: What?
Miranda Bailey: That you are you, you could have told us earlier.
Leah: I know
Miranda Bailey: You still have to learn a lot
Leah: I know
Miranda Bailey: Good, are you good with computers
Leah: I am ok, why?
Miranda Bailey: Because we need to put that thing back together and I think we should never use them again for medicines.
Leah grins: Good idea
In the Boardroom
Jackson: April, you are with me now, come on.
April: I cant
Jackson: You are my wife, the others know that come on. You know them, lets go, you are an Avery now, you married to me now lets go. Come on, nothing really changed.
April: They think
Jackson: They know us, come on
Jackson opens the door
Callie and Arizona are on opposite sides of the room barely looking at each other
Jackson: Good morning everybody, you all know my new wife April?
Meredith in a wheelchair
Meredith: Congratulations you two
April: Thank you!
Hugging
Jackson: I want to announce something as April managed to pass her boards and Owen has too much to do as chief, I want April to be head of the new ER with Owen by her side.
Owen: I think that is an amazing idea
April: The ER? Jackson are you crazy?
Jackson: Yes and no, you did an amazing job while the storm broke loose, your organization skills are great and everybody else is occupied otherwise with their departments. You would be perfect.
Owen: You are and I need an extra pair of hands. You fought for the ER, remember?
April: Yes but I need more
Jackson: Meredith is the one responsible for the budget, medicines etc.
April: Ok, then
Meredith: I am all ears April you just have to wheel me around as I am not allowed to stand up yet but my brain is working as good as ever and hey we have to stop by the nursery once in a while, remember I have a new son.
April: Fine
Jackson: Then that's settled, is somebody aware of the damage the storm has done?
Owen: We need new generators and a pumping system so that no water can reach them
Jackson: Yes
Derek: When is
Jackson: We are all going
Owen: Yes we are but besides that a few windows, and Miranda destroyed our automatic medicine system that Pegasus introduced
Jackson: She saved a lot of lives in doing so and I hate that system. Can I have a show of hands who thinks that we all get keys, electronic ones that also can be open in an emergency in the good old way
Derek: Fantastic idea
Callie: One more room someone can make out, don't you Arizona
Arizona: Callie, I said I am sorry and I don't think this is the right place for that.
Callie: Well I think everybody needs to hear what you did if they don't already know that.
Arizona: Callie
Callie: Besides that I am for it.
Jackson: Good, I just wanted you all know that my mother will stay with Richard as long as he is here, so be aware what you do, she is
Derek: Tough?
Jackson: Yes and she sees right through you, April can tell you what I mean, now people let's go.
