I'm still not done with the story yet. But I wanted you guys too have something to read so here it is. This is just a bit of a chapter until he asks "The Big question!"
"Ehm" Callie clears here throat loudly. "Uh love birds, sorry to wake you but Mark just called."
April opens her eyes, she realizes she is curled up against Jackson's chest. While his arm is around her waist, holding her tight. She tries to maneuver her way out of his grasp. He wakes up and lifts his arms to stretch. April blushes and scoots out of his reach. How they got that close is a mystery to her. Jackson has know idea whats going on.
"Huh?" He asks groggly.
"I said Mark called he wants to see the ring asap. So come on get dressed let's go."
Jackson get's out of bed stretching again. He pulls on his pants then grabs a shirt from Mark's dresser. April just puts on her dirty clothes from the other day. She feels a lot more comfortable than borrowing something from Arizona's closet.
"You just gonna ride with us?" Jackson asks Callie. A little more awake after drinking a cup of coffee.
"Yea, sure." Callie says sipping her own cup of coffee. April is just going with the flow of things. She's still thinking about the image of them. She's worried Callie suspects something. Rumors always fly around the hospital faster than a disease. April just doesn't want one about her and Jackson.
They head to the elevator and down to the car. Again nothing eventful happens.
April heads to the locker room. Although she isn't allowed to perform surgeries she still has to arrange them. She'd like to look her part as well. Chief of surgery.
Jackson rounds the corner to Meredith Grey's room. "Hey how are you feeling?" He asks an excited looking Meredith.
"How am I feeling? Jackson Avery you better tell me what's going on now!" Meredith says smiling. Meredith was emitted to the hospital with a mild concussion. She had to stay for observation. Shadow Shepherd says she is A ok. Mere is just staying for Cristina, who shares the same room with her best friend. Since Both the girls had minor injuries they were put into a different department than Mark Lexi and Derek. Other wise she would be sharing a room with her husband.
Jackson talks a deep breath telling her exactly what happened. Cristina whose sitting on the bed as well is smiling ear to ear just like the woman next to her. "So we ended up getting this." Jackson finishes showing them the ring.
"Wow" Meredith gapes looking at the ring. "This is going to look beautiful on Lex's Finger. She's silent for a second. "Can I be there, looking through the blinds or something? Please?" She asks hopeful. Meredith wants to see her only sister be happy with the love of her life for once.
"That's not my call... but I'll ask Mark for ya." Jackson say's exiting the room and heading toward Mark's. Jackson walks in seeing Mark wide awake talking to Callie, who is sitting in the same chair that he had been in the previous morning.
"Hey" Callie turns to Jackson, "Where's April I'm sure she'd like to be here for this. I'm going to go find her real quick. What ever you do Avery don't show him the ring." Callie says warningly. She walks out of the door. Jackson takes her place.
"I'm excited for you man." Jackson says patting the older man on the shoulder.
"Jackson I've loved this woman since the first day I met her. She's always been the one. Every time she broke up with me I knew I would get her back some how, and I did. This time I want to make it a life long commitment. No more break ups no more boy/girl friends. Just the two of us together. We are meant to be, her and I." Mark says smiling. He's so passionate when he says this. Jackson knows he is serious about his decision.
Jackson pats his shoulder again smiling. He thinks he found his person. His soul mate. That maybe him and April are meant to be.
Callie towers the hospital corridors looking for April. She finally finds her fixing the surgery board. ( The first place she should have looked.) April doesn't notice her until she turns to walk away. Callie is leaning against the counter looking up at the board.
"Looks good Kepner." Callie says "So Jackson is about to show Mark the ring I thought you might want to be there."
"Oh yea definitely." April says with a smile. She puts her clip board full of surgeries, then follows Callie to Mark's room.
Callie steps back to be right next to April. "What's going one? I mean in your life?" Callie starts out not wanting to be too forward.
"Oh nothing you know same old same old." April answers a little baffled by her question. No one is ever interested in her personal life.
"No! I mean you and Jackson. I saw you two all cuddled up this morning don't try to hide it. What's going on that I don't know about?" Callie gave up her first approach.
"Nothing, Nothing is going on!" April says high-pitched failing to sound serious.
"No, no, no you can't lie to me, you can't get away that easy. If you don't tell me I'll broadcast that you lost your virginity." Callie threatens not being serious just trying to get a little info out of the redhead.
April's eyes widen. "You wouldn't." April says not believing, what seems to be a very much serious Callie. "Just please stop."
"You're hiding something Kepner I'm going to find out what it is." They two reach Mark's room.
"Please?"
"No!"
"Please!"
"Just wait Mark!" He turns to see April and Callie in the door frame. "Alright now you can." Jackson says revealing the sparkling diamond ring.
"That's..." Marks at a loss of words. "That's Beautiful, almost as beautiful as Lexi herself. This is perfect you guys! I'd kiss you all but I'm about to be a married man." Mark says jokingly.
