I'm bAAAAAaaaack! Thank you all so much for your feedback and for sticking with this story in between marriages. It was so much easier when I had a backlog! Anyway, the title for this one is as it is because the whole running off to Lake Tahoe, as sweet and romantic as that may have been (BTW is Lake Tahoe where Reno is? Did they get married in Reno or is there a whole underground drive-thru wedding scene in Lake Tahoe that I don't know about?), was slightly reminiscent of George and Callie running off to Vegas (Chapter 4, Nice Things for your reference). Oh well, that's ok, it's still a nice story.

I Swear Someone's Done This Before: April May Kepner - Jackson Harper Avery (2014)

"Soooo, how exactly do you know how long it takes to get to Lake Tahoe from Seattle?" April turned to face her new husband. "You're not married are you?"

Jackson smiled. "No, no I'm not married. Well I am now, but a buddy of mine back at Mercy West eloped with a scrub nurse and they needed a driver. That was a fun weekend." He smirked and she laughed. "Good morning wife."

"Good morning husband." She kissed him and smiled. She loved him and he loved her. They were finally together.

But that didn't help the giant mess they were in or how they would fix it. If anything it made it worse.

"You think anyone else from the hospital got married on a whim like this?" He asked as he twirled her hair.

"It wasn't a whim, at least it wasn't for me." She sat up. "Oh god please tell me it wasn't just a whim for you!"

"No, no it was not a whim! Definitely not a whim! Whim was not the right word." He quickly reassured her.

April let out her breath and fell back onto the pillow. Neither of them made any sort of sound for a few moments. Suddenly, Jackson started to chuckle. Very softly at first but gradually it got louder. April looked at him like he was crazy for a moment before she too started to laugh. They laughed at the broken wedding, at the fleeing to Lake Tahoe, at the small yet intimate wedding that no one else knew about, they laughed until tears streamed down their faces and their breath came in short gasps. There was not a good reason got the laughter, in fact it could even be considered down right inappropriate, but still they laughed until they were both quite out of breath. Still chuckling, Jackson looked at April.

"What are we doing?"

April wiped the tears from her eyes. "I don't know, god we left such a mess back home didn't we?"

"Try not to think of that now." He cupped her face. "Let's just stay here for a little while."

April nodded and burrowed close to him. She loved him, probably always had. No, not probably, definitely. At first she thought he was just an attractive hunk of meat, arrogantly trying to sleep with any female with a pulse. But after losing Reed and Charles, they'd clung to each other and she'd realized what a wonderful guy he actually was. Then they'd had the whole mess last year with the sleeping together and the leaving and the revirginizeing and Matthew, oh god, Matthew! She left him at the altar, how was she ever going to face him again?

"Apes, I can here you thinking from here." He rubbed her shoulder. "What's on your mind?"

She sighed. "I think the best way to deal with this, with us, is to keep it a secret for now. I mean, I ran out of a wedding in full bridal garb and Stephanie probably has at least one contract hit out on you. Not to mention our parents. Your mother may like me, but I don't think she likes me enough to forgive this and I know my parents will just about have a coronary if they haven't had one already."

"So your solution is just not to tell them?"

"No, just don't tell them yet."

He nodded slowly. "Ok."

"Ok?"

"Yeah. I mean, there's already gonna be hell to pay when we resurface as it is, why make it worse?" He agreed. "I swear someone must have done this before."

She grinned. "My money's on Dr Torres."

He looked at her. "Really? Cause I would have pegged Grey on doing something like this."

She smirked and laid her head on his chest. It would be hard to go back, but as long as she had him it would be worth it.

If Shonda doesn't break them up, I'm gunning for a Jolex wedding by the end of next season (or maybe Richard and Catherine, now THAT would be interesting). As per usual, a request for your wonderful and motivating reviews although story favorites are also a nice thing to get in the mail.
