I don't own Grey's Anatomy
April and Jackson made their way into Seattle Grace. It was bigger then Mercy West that was for sure.
"Okay any Mercy West interns follow me." A short woman told them.
"That's Bailey we call her the Nazi you better follow." Cristina advised her.
April nodded grabbing Jackson's arm and pulling him along with her as a few other Mercy West interns followed them.
"We have a train accident coming in you will do as the attendings and upper residents tell you. Is that clear." She snapped.
"Yes." They echoed.
"Good I'm doctor Bailey and I'll be in charge of you for now would you like to tell me who you are all?"
"Dr Jackson Avery." Jackson said.
"Dr. April Shepherd." April told her a few other interns gave their names. Bailey was watching the two of them though.
"You two with me." Snapped.
"Yes." April said as soon as the other interns disbursed.
"I am guessing by your names you are royal."
April sighed and shook her head. "I'm doctor Shepherds daughter it's true and he's Harper Avery's grandson but please we just want to learn." April pleaded as Bailey narrowed her eyes at her.
"Fine but if I notice any favoritism…" Bailey trailed off getting nods from the two interns. "Fine be out of my sight." She dismissed them as April and Jackson left trying to find the locker room. Somehow they actually found it and grabbed some scrubs.
April noticed Meredith leaning against a locker as she changed into her scrubs. "Meredith come with me." She led the other woman out of the locker room. Luckily the other woman was already changed. She led her to a room and quickly got her set up with a banana bag. "There you're all set." She said getting ready to walk out of the door.
"Why are you being nice to me?"
"Listen I don't like this situation or need a new mommy but you didn't ask to be put in this position any more then I did." April sighed walking out.
She ran smack dab into her father on the other side. "What are you doing here?"
"Mercy west interns were called in on the train crash case."
"No I know that but in that room?"
"Or your girlfriend got really drunk waiting for you to make your decision. So I was putting a banana bag in for her." April shrugged.
"You were what? Why are you being nice? I'm guessing your mother told you?"
"I'm not repeating myself and I wish people would stop asking my why I'm being nice I'm a nice person damn it. And yes she told me now I have to get back to the pit before that resident Bailey has my head."
Derek peeked into the room and saw Meredith sitting on the bed. "Hi." She gave a little wave.
"Hi." He smiled. At her. "So I heard you're drunk."
"Ah just a little." She giggled. "Your daughter patched me right up." She gestured to her arm.
"Yeah I heard that too." He chuckled.
He sat down next to her. "Listen I don't have much time Ambulance's are rushing here as we speak but I did sign the papers. I picked you."
"Yeah that's what April said. Though I don't know why she is being so nice to me it's weird."
"She's nice damn it." As she just told me." Derek chuckled. "I mean I'm sure she's not your biggest fan but still she is a good person."
"Yeah you raised a good person." Meredith muttered.
"Ah I can't really take the credit for that." Derek shook his head. "That's my mother."
"Well she raised you so.." Meredith shrugged earning a smile from Derek just as their pagers went off and they hurried to the pit.
"Oh good you two joined us. Dr. Shepherd we have multiple head injury's coming in and we just got a call that an emergency is ten minuets out that will take all our attendings so stick around." She turned to Meredith. "You no touching patients until I see a blood evaluation. Where did you get that Banana bag?"
"the female doctor Shepherd the daughter."
"Ah she's seems smart." Bailey nodded seeing the youngest Shepherd evaluating patients."
Just then Addison walked in. "Doctor Gray." She snapped seeing the younger woman.
"Doctor Montgomery." She nodded.
"Are you drunk?"
"Yes I was off when we got the pages. Your daughter set me up." She nodded towards April."
"What is she doing here." Addison muttered going towards April.
"Okay Mr. Cousin you'll be fine just a few scraps and we'll get that arm sat for you." April told her patient."
"What are you doing here?" Addison snapped.
"All Mercy West staff were called to Settle Grace why aren't you on a plane?"
"Richard offered me a contract I'm thinking of taking it. You helped Meredith."
"I did." April looked at her mother. "So staying you hate the rain."
"I do." Addison agreed. "you're here though and I really have nothing left for me in New York so I guess this is where I am." She walked away as Karev called her to the side of a pregnant patient.
April watched her go. She was staying for her. Or maybe so she wouldn't be lonely but still she was staying and April could feel her heart thawing just a little.
"Did you see that case that just came in the man and woman on that pole?" Jackson came up beside her.
"no what?" April looked around.
"Already took them off. You okay?"
"My mother is staying and I was nice to Meredith again." She shrugged. She quickly walked to her next patient
Jackson followed, her. "Your mother really?"
"Yeah she said it was for me figure it's actually probably because she'll be lonely but I guess we will see."
"That's all you can do." Jackson agreed. Just then a woman stumbled in holding her head. April rushed forward catching her before she could fall. "
Ma'am are you okay?"
"I feel down three flights of stairs I don't know how I even got here."
"Did you lose consciousness at any point?"
"Yes."
"Jackson I need your help."
Jackson hurried over and they quickly got scans and everything else needed for the woman. All the attendings were working on the crash victims and April could see this woman had a swelling brain along with a bad laceration and probably a broken arm.
"Can I help?" April looked up to see Meredith coming towards her.
"Did Bailey clear you?"
"Yes."
"Okay we need to get a nuro attending down here my dad is of course tied up with the big case so who should we page?"
"Shadow Shepherd?"
"Who?"
"Oh that's just what we call him." Meredith flagged down a nurse and told them to page the Neuro surgeon. Just then the woman started to seeze
"Shoot." April got her steady. "Her pupil has blown. " she instructed the nurses on what to give her hoping to stabilize her until the attending could get there just then the attending showed up and April gave him a quick run down.
"Okay Doctor Shepherd you're with me." She ran to catch up. Five hours later she came out of the surgery. And headed towards the bit.
"So I heard you did an amazing job and helped save a woman's life today?" she looked over to see Doctor Bailey.
"I did what any doctor would do."
"You were calm you got done what needed to be done didn't hesitate and kept the patient stable until you could get her to the OR. To bad you're not one of my interns you're going places Shepherd."
April watched her walk away and literally ran into Jackson. "Whoa." He steadied her.
"Pretty sure Bailey just complimented me."
"Well take that with pride she doesn't compliment easily." Derek said coming up behind his daughter. "I heard what you did today good job April I'm proud of you we'll make a Neuro Goddess out of you yet." He smirked.
"Meredith and Jackson helped." She yawned.
"Okay our shift is over you're about to fall asleep on your feet time to get you home." Jackson said.
"Right but could you drive me don't think I could keep my eyes open."
"Of course." Jackson started to lead her away but Derek's voice stopped him.
"I don't think we've met before Doctor Derek Shepherd April's father and you are?"
"Doctor Jackson Avery April's best friend. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get her home before she falls asleep on her feet.
Derek watched them go wide eyed as he felt Meredith come up beside him. "Was that Jackson Avery?"
"Yes do you know him?"
"Of course I know him we grew up together well kind of he's Harper Avery's grandson."
"Really he said him and April were best friends I've never even heard his name though."
"Where did she go to school?"
"Harvard."
"Well that is probably where they met all Avery's go to Harvard. I'm going home are you coming with me?"
"Huh yeah." He smiled kissing her. He was happy to have Meredith back in his life but at the same time he was so so confused how the hell was April best friends with and Avery and he never even knew.
Jackson got April home and tucked into bed before he found himself crashing on her couch. Luckily Mercy West had told all train crash interns to take the next day off so they could catch up on their sleep.
