It was the weekend and April agree to take Harriet early for her week with the taylors.

They arrived at April's house with Harriet to drop her off. It was a smooth transition.

April seemed bright, vibrant, and happy .

"We are in counseling and doing well."April offered .

"That's great you look happy April."Maggie said

"Maggie can you wait for me in the car please babe?" Jackson asked

"Of course." Maggie kissed Harriet goodbye

"We are going to Miami ." Jakcson started

"I know you told me, I hope you guys have fun. " April said

"Mom will be around in town if you need anything . I'm proposing to Maggie." Jackson continued

"Wow really? That's amazing . She's very good for you . April went on " I know there was some hostility there first . I just never wanted to lose you in my life and I know now that I won't . I am genuinely happy for the both of you. I know she will say yes. Congratulations."April said

Jackson hugged April. "Thank you. Don't forget if you need to talk I'm always here for you Kepner." He said

"Thanks Avery ." April replied

Jackson smiled and walked to the car

Maggie and Jackson headed to the airport.

When they arrived they boarded his families plane.

"I dont think I'll ever fly commercial again" Maggie said

"Yep" he smiled

Maggie slept most of the way.

When they arrived it was warm sunny and picturesque.

"Jackson I don't think I've ever been to Miami for vacation. I've been for conferences and to leave for a cruise but that's it. "

" Stick with me I'll show you the ropes. We came to Miami every Spring Break of undergrad."He said

The two of them got in the car and were taken to their hotel.

On the way there they chatted

"What's your friends name?" Maggie asked

"Christian, he's actually my frat brother ." Jackson replied

"Jackson you never told me you were in a frat." Maggie said with intrigue

"Yeah so no one would take me seriously ." Jackson answered

"How long have we been dating and I didn't know that ? " Maggie said

"They already judge me based on my face ." Jackson said laughing

"But it's a perfect face and I love you. " Maggie said touching his face

"I love you too ,were you in a sorority? " Jackson asked

"Nope only honor societies ."Maggie said chuckling

"His wife is the head of the nursing department for a rehab facility, I met her briefly at their wedding a couple years ago. " Jackson described

"Nice can't wait to hear all your frat stories ." Maggie said laughing

He put his hand on his head and looked down saying

"Not my finest moments ."

She giggled .

They pulled up to the hotel and went to the front desk

"Checking in please" Maggie said

"Name?" The front desk attendant said

"Margaret Pierce " Maggie answered

"It's under Avery babe ." Jackson said smiling because he changed the reservation predicting the outcome of this trip.

"Sorry Jackson Avery ." She corrected

"Yes Mrs Avery ."The front desk attendant repeated

"No - never mind ." She said not wanting to take the effort to correct her

"You'll be staying the weekend ?" The woman asked

She gave Jackson a comical look.

"Yes we will be." Jackson interjected

"Will you be needing one key or two ?" The attendant asked

"One. He never leaves me ."she laughed

The front desk attendant handed her the key and a map of the property .

"You will be staying in our highest level suite which comes with complimentary butler service as well as your own concierge ." She smiled

"Really babe? " Jackson said

"You owe me ! "She replied

He smirked .

"Have a nice stay Mr and Mrs Avery. " The lady said with a smile

Maggie playfully rolled her eyes as they both walked away .

The bell hop gathered their bags and followed them to the elevator

"Did you call your frat bro?" Maggie said

"Yea, I let him know we had arrived they wanna do lunch on the boat . Apparently there is this cool restaurant you can drive your boat to and eat. It's like a hang out and tons of people go . You down? "Jackson asked

"I didn't get a new suit for nothing, prepare to see me wear this bad boy out. " Maggie said with excitement

"Ok well let's get dressed and head out to the beach. He will pick us up on the boat . " Jackson said

Maggie unpacked her suitcase and pulled out her new bathing suit. She was so proud to say it was totally Miami . It was an all black tube top with 3 off the shoulder rings that's fell on her arms. The bottom was Brazilian cut high waist sides with the least coverage she could have . She stepped out of the bathroom to Jackson sitting on the balcony overlooking the ocean with his feet up . He gazed in her direction and gulped. He had no shirt on exposing his chiseled caramel chest sporting the newest pair of Versace sunglasses .

"Yeah that's definitely coming off real quick. " Jackson said looking Maggie up and down as he got up and she smiled .

"Where did you even get this from?" he said with heart eyes as he picked her up.

She wrapped her legs around him as she placed a kiss on his lips .

"A boutique on Main .Jackson we don't have time... " She said as she felt him hardening

"There's time. This is vacation. " He said

Jackson laid her down on the couch sliding her bottoms to the side as he entered her with his fingers .

"Mmm.. "she moaned.

He took her breast with the other hand and kissed her

"Jackson ... mmm... you are the only one that makes me wet." Maggie said

He continued kissing her and whispered "I better be." Jackson said sternly

He spun her around and pulled down her bottoms entering her from behind .

He stroked her hard and fast . Until they both collapsed .

"Okay,it's time for lunch." She said grabbing his head and running her fingers through his waves

"How about round two? " Jackson teased

"Maybe tonight. "she replied

They both got up and redressed .

Maggie and Jackson arrived at the dock when they heard "guys!"

Maggie looked down the ramp into the blue eyes of a handsome young toned and tanned man with a beautiful petite woman standing next to him.

"Are you guys all models , geez "she said squeezing Jackson's hand

"It's kinda a thing for us we all work out. The frat that is ."he said laughing.

"You must be Maggie ." Christian said.

Yes ! Hi Christian." Maggie said

"Please ,just Chris and this is my wife Elle ." Chris replied

"Hi Elle, nice to meet you. " Maggie said studying the pretty woman with a bright smile

"Broooo ! "Chris said as he man hugged Jackson . " It's been how long since i've seen you? Got the pics of Harriet at my office she is beautiful! Maggie you could actually be her mom , same bouncey curls and pretty smile" he said flirtateously. Maggie smiled

Jackson and Chris were ecstatic to see each other.

"Cmon cmon let's grab lunch and catch up." Chris said

Here is my newest toy he gazed over to a luxury 40 ft boat reading " I can Elle you love me" on the back

"Catchy", Maggie laughed

"He tried "Elle said giggling.

They boarded the boat.

"Cigar on the main deck? j. Ave" he affectionately called Jackson

"Maggie you guys gonna be ok? "Chris asked

"She'll be fine ! We ll have girl talk." Elle said as she pulled Maggie with her to the sitting quarters which was decked out with champagne, wine, and and assortment of cheeses and fruit. Maggie was excited she LOVED cheese.

"So Maggie , I hear you are a fantastic doctor ."

"I'm ok ."she said modestly grabbing a wine glass and cheese square

"How did you and Jackson meet? "Elle asked grabbing the wine and pouring it into Maggie's glass.

"Well we work at the same hospital , had mutual friends ,and just one night he told me how he felt about me . " She said placing the cheese in her mouth

"So cute. You two are really gorgeous couple ." Elle said as she reached for her own glass

"Thank you! You and Chris are too ." Maggie complimented

"Aw you are sweet I'm glad you all came ." Elle said

Meanwhile Jackson and Chris were on the top deck with the best selection of Cuban cigars .

"Soooo we talk Jackson, she's the one right ." Chris asked

"Yeah that's her ."He said smiling

"You are glowing hunnnnnyyy ." Chris said jokingly

"Ok ok , and remember when I met Elle i didn't ride you hard . You were a sap bro . You CRIED at the wedding ." Jackson reminisced

"Yeah yeah , speaking of. Where is the rock?" Chris asked

"Hotel room." Jackson replied

"Getting nervous?" Chris said grabbing Jackson's shoulder rocking him back and fourth a little

"Absolutely. Maggie gets nervous when shit gets real ." Jackson explained

"She loves you bro. I can tell by how she looks at you ." He looked from a distance as he could see his wife and Maggie chatting and laughing

"Thanks — you'll be there tonight right? "Jackson asked

"Wouldn't miss it little bro ." Chris replied

"Awesome ."Jackson said grabbing a cigar and beer

The couples drank ate and had a great lunch before returning to the dock early afternoon.

Jackson held Maggie's hand as they walked to the car ." I like them! Very nice people. " Maggie said looking at Jackson

"Of course they are .. he's my brother . "Jackson said

"What's next jackson?" Maggie asked

"Showers ... sex... ? "He said seductively "I do believe you promised me a round two ." Jackson leaning into maggies curls

"Yeah yeah ... let's make it back first we ll see . "Maggie said

Meanwhile back at the hospital Meredith was freaking out a little . Everyone was getting ready to leave for the airport .

"How is Jackson literally taking all the best surgeons out of the hospital all at once . We re leaving the hospital with interns!" Meredith said pacing

"It's for your sister don't you wanna go?" Alex said

"The last two times I was on a plane I almost died . Literally. Not thrilled but for Maggie I'll do it ." Meredith said continuing to pace

"What if there's an emergency? " Meredith said frantically

"Who's on call? " she asked

"Who cares it's one night all courtesy of Avery, me and Jo are excited ."

"Jo has never been on a plane, you sure about that? " Meredith remarked

"Well she didn't think we were driving she will be fine she's tough. "Alex said

Jo walked in

"You afraid of planes or something? " Alex asked

"No why? " Jo asked

"Mere says you might be " Alex said looking at Meredith

"Nope I'm good, very excited for MIAMI even if it's only for one night. " Jo replied

Amelia came in

"Who is ready for Mia-Yo! " she said with excitement

"Everyone . Literally EVERYONE is going . The hospital may sink" Meredith said

"Mere it's one night. It's honestly hospital business because we were asked by a board member. " Amelia reasoned

"Wait! Is Maggie gonna be on the board now? She's going to be an Avery! Lady chiefs first, board members next! "

"Hush Amelia . " Meredith said

Everyone gathered in the lobby

When everyone arrived they got into their bus to the airport .

Everyone boarded the plane .

"Are we there yet ?" Bailey said as she nodded off

"Almost, I believe "Weber said as the flight attendant came by saying

"We will be landing at Miami executive airport in 10 minutes . "

Thank you

The crew loaded back up into vans and headed to the fountainbleu hotel.

When they arrived they were taken to their rooms and strategically placed on the other opposite side as Jackson and Maggie

"You wanna go for a walk on the beach babe?"Jackson said coming to the bathroom to find Maggie all decked out in an emerald green dress sundress . She had gold accessories and was wearing her hair all down.

"Yeah that'll be nice . I'm almost ready ."Maggie said

Jackson came over and kissed her

"What was that for? "Maggie asked

"Because you're beautiful and I love you so much. "

"Aw love you too Mr mushy pants ." Maggie said playfully

Jackson took Maggie downstairs and through the entry way to the beach

Jackson could feel his heart literally beat through his chest . His hands were sweating. Was he too presumptuous? Alex was the honest one his mom said . And Alex said she would say yes. Should he have not told anyone until she said yes? Did he fly everyone down to be rejected or delayed? Should he text Alex and tell them it was all off?

Maggie took off her sandals as they got to the sand.

She grabbed Jackson's hand to balance and noticed his pulse "Babe you ok? Your pulse is like 120 ."

"I'm good. "Jackson replied

They both walked on the beach listening to the crashing sounds of the waves as a gentle breeze moved through. The sun was setting and it couldn't be more perfect.

" Babe ",Jackson said as he stopped walking.

She turned to face him . "Yeah?"

"I uh.. "

"You ok? You've been so weird the last hour. " she said

"Maggie I wanna marry you . "

"I know Jackson "she chuckled and put her head down

"No I am asking you ... "he continued

Maggie raised her head attentively listening to her boyfriend .

"You are everything I ever wanted . I Love you ."

he got down on on knee as he continued .

"Will you Margaret Diane Pierce ? Marry me? "Jackson said confidently

He opened a red box to unveil a 4 carat halo diamond ring that sparkled even in the dimming sunset light .

"Jackson!" She gasped

"I know you prob have to think about it . I know you don't take decisions lightly. I can wait."

Maggie began to cry

"Oh my god . Jackson. She continued to cry as she held her hand over her mouth with her head down.

"Ye-

"What was that Maggie ? "He said getting up and placing the box in his pocket putting his hands on her waist

"Yes , my answer is yes. "

Seriously!?

"Ye- "he grabbed her face and kissed her

"Can I have my ring now?" She said with excitement

He pulled it back out

"It's gorgeous!"

"Wouldn't have it any other way " Jackson said

" Jackson I would marry you with no ring , you know that right?" She said as tears continued to fall down her face

" Karev said something like that when he went to pick it out with me, but i wanted it special . You are special to me." Jackson said

" I thought you would need a minute ." Jackson said

" Yes well you introduced the idea and you were right it forced me to think about it . And i thought about it often, like what would say , did I want to . And i absolutely do. If you will have me and not be disappointed in who I am ."

" Relationships are complicated Maggie but there is no one else I would rather be with . You aren't easy . That's what I love about you . You're like a complicated puzzle i'm obsessed with solving . I put together new pieces daily. Never gets old. You were the first one who saw me and not my money. You cared, you were patient and understanding with everything . You saved Harriet"s mother. I know it was because of me . My mom loves you, my daughter adores you . You are the one."

Maggie had leaned her head to the side. " I did do it for you. I'm so in love with you its scary. Thank you for being patient with me and my quirks. That's what made it so easy to say yes to you. I know that even when i'm being my usual goofy self you love me . Just a little more than me . My mom even saw that , the tears started to fall. She knew we'd end up here, and i'm so glad we did."

Maggie and Jackson walked back into the hotel . Maggie was staring at her gorgeous ring when she looked up.

"Let's get this party started! "Amelia said

"Amelia? Meredith?! Omg . Jackson you called them? Omg daddy! She grabbed his neck and pulled him in with a hug. Daddy what are you doing here ?!

"Jackson called me . We talked about it ." Bill said

She looked at Jackson who was smiling and hugging the men one by one.

"Jackson got you everyone together to be here for me ? " Maggie asked

"Of course he did Pierce , don't you see us all?" Bailey said

" OMG who is at the hospital besides interns?"Maggie asked

''EXACTLY!" Meredith said

" Maggie my mom is covering and managing ." Jackson replied.

" Good."

Jackson rented out LIV downstairs just for them to party the night away. He was excited . He was marrying Maggie. Surrounded by their friends and family they partied into the wee hours of the night.
