Callie slips the ring onto her finger. She puts her hand out in front of her to examine. "Why can't I have a ring as beautiful as this?" She's quiet for a second. "You tell Arizona I said that both of you are dead." She says with a scowl.
Jackson looks over at April who is laughing. They end up not going to the hospital since there are no visitors after 8pm. Jackson drives Callie home.
"Hey you guys want to stay over?" Callie asks
Jackson knows she is extremely lonely, with everyone in the hospital and such. She just wants company and some people to talk too. "uh..." Jackson says not knowing if thats a good idea or not. April and Jackson do live up the street a few blocks staying at their apartment wouldn't change anything. The look on her face the expression of hope, he considers.
"Sure, why not? It would be like a sleep over." April says excitedly. Jackson looks at her, she is smiling back at Callie.
"Great!" Callie says, "I'll make some chicken. How does that sound?"
"Yea sounds good." Jackson finally says.
They end up staying in Sloan's apartment. Callie makes dinner while April chops Onions. Jackson sits on the barstool making conversation with the girls.
"I wonder if Lexi will be able to walk down the isle."
"She's paralyzed Jackson." April states sadly.
"Lexi could always walk again, she's a fighter. I've seen multiple Paralyzed patients learn to walk again. They just need to focus and put in hard, hard work." Callie remarks.
"That's true." A smiling April says. "It will take a while wont it?"
"Oh yes with the extent of her injury's and the Surgeries that still remain, it could take years." Callie answers
"That wont matter to Mark. He's not going to care if she walks down the isle. He just wants to be with her for life." Jackson cuts in.
"It might matter to Lexi. If it were me I would want to learn to walk again. Before the ceremony, even if it does take some time. It's just something girls dream about. Walking down the isle." April says with enfaces. She scoops up the onions and put them in a small container.
"Well we will have to wait and see. Lexi hasn't even said yes yet." Callie says putting the toppings on the chicken. "15 minutes then we can eat. Until then how about a game?"
"Scrabble. Prepare to be defeated." Jackson says confidently
A game later...
"Sorry Jackson what was that? Whose gonna win?" April jokes with him. She won ten points over his score.
Callie leaves to take the chicken out. "Alright guys it's ready." Callie makes them sit at the dinning room table. They dish out there food and eat.
"When do you think we are performing surgeries again?" Jackson asks stuffing his mouth with chicken.
"Chief said in a week." April replies. "It's only been three days... but I miss trauma."
"I miss Plastics." Jackson says with a sigh.
"I miss Arizona!" Callie exclaims. Then bursts into tears. "Wheres my ice cream?'
Jackson looks around for it but finds a melted carton. He looks through the freezer for more and relief hits when he finds some. April has Callie in her arms holding her, trying to calm her down. Jackson hands Callie the ice cream and spoon. She relaxes and takes a spoon full. She stopped crying but her face is still pain stricken.
She pulls out the couch bed. "Hope you guys don't mind sharing?" Callie whimpers.
"No, not at all thats fine." April says.
Callie walks away into her room ice cream still in hand. She closes the door behind, and starts to cry again. Jackson looks at April who has a pair of Arizona's Pajamas on. Callie was reluctant to let her borrow them, but she gave in. Jackson takes off his shirt and pants. His boxers were the only things he had to sleep in. April saw and turned bright red.
"I'm sorry I can sleep on the floor if you want." Jackson said.
"Nnn..No thats, thats fine Jackson." April stuttered.
"I'm okay." He grabs a pillow and a pair of sheets. He lays on the floor.
"Jackson don't be ridiculous your back is going to hurt in the morning just come up here." April says a little nervously.
Jackson notices, but happily climbs in next to her anyway. They lay down and turn to each other to talk.
"I wonder when Arizona is coming back." April whispers. She doesn't want a weeping Callie to hear them talking.
"She told me she caught an infection. They don't know if they can save the limb." Jackson breaths. The breath brushing against Aprils lips. The closeness makes her feel amazing. safe. alive.
"Do you think Callie knows?" April asks. Wanting to scoot closer to Jackson.
"No I don't. I answered Marks phone when Arizona called. She told me what was going on with her and wanted updates about the others. She told me not to tell Callie whats going on. That she will tell her in small portions so Callie wont freak." Jackson sees that April is staring at his lips.
"Well I hope she tells her soon. I'm tired. Good night." April says then turns the other direction before she does anything stupid. She knows she wanted to kiss him. She wonders if he did as well.
Jackson smiles. He knew.
