ALEX

"You broke it off with Pierce?!" I exclaimed when Jackson walked into the lounge. Jackson groaned and sat down next to me. "Does this have to do with Kepner getting married?" I asked staring at him.

"No! I mean, April getting married just really made me realize that if I want to find someone, I need to decide what I want. Maggie is beautiful and smart and caring…but the passion and fire just wasn't there. Sounds stupid and dramatic, but I just didn't want to get any further in this and hurt her anymore."

I sat back on my chair and folded my arms. "Huh. Well, good for you. I mean, I never understood the two of you. Yeah, she's cute and I know she's Mer's sister but…. she's annoying."

Jackson rolled his eyes and laughed. "Speaking of sisters, how's it going with yours? Talk about a Monday Morning Shock." Even though it had been a month since Amber Evans appointment at Grey+Sloan and his breakup with Maggie, he and Alex hadn't had much of a chance to talk.

"You have NO idea. But it's good. It turns out I have a niece! She's two and man, she's a firecracker. She is just like Lindsey. And even though I left her alone in that crap town, she ended up giving her daughter the middle name 'Alexandria' as a tribute to me. The father is in Denver and they are doing a month to month type of thing. I guess it was just a drunken night and they've been friends so it works out really well. Jo and I have had dinner with them a few times. We're actually taking her out to Joe's tonight. You should come! Hannah left to be with her dad last night, so this is the first time she's not needed to go home right after her shift."

Jackson remembered her resume. Bailey and Webber had actually flown to Denver to interview her and were adamant that this is who the hospital needed. It took some persuading for Aber Evans to accept. He had personally given the signature for her travel allowance for her daughter to travel back and forth to Denver. With all the excitement of her ending up being Karev's sister and breaking up with Maggie, he hadn't thought about much else.

"Okay…I actually haven't worked with her yet, so it would be nice to actually hear what she thinks of this place." After saying this, I groaned and looked over at his friend.

"Dude. You're going as a Doctor letting off some steam, not a Board Member doing a 30-day evaluation."

Jackson laughed. He needed a night out, it mise well be with all of the other people who needed nights out, too.

AMBER

I hung up the phone and smiled. Hannah had only been gone for a night and I already missed her like crazy. Luckily, Allie and I have a good enough relationship that we call and text a lot whenever one of us has her. Allie said that they were on their way to the Denver Zoo and Hannah said she was excited to see the parrots. Poor Parrots, they are going to be so annoyed trying to repeat her.

I've been in Seattle for just over a month now and everything was going extremely well. All of the interns were excited to have someone in Ortho to teach them and the residents and fellows were super accepting of me. I had a feeling it was because of Alex and Jo, but I didn't mind. After our first dinner together, we made it a weekly occurrence and Hannah had grown extremely attached to her aunt and uncle. I even ran into Alex at the daycare who went up to give her a set of new coloring books on his lunch break. It obviously made him very popular with all of the daycare kids and I got to hear all the way home how Uncle Alex came to give her a present and there was enough for EVERYONE to have one. I guess I should be happy that she wanted to share.

Jo had accompanied me to the private air strip to drop off Hannah last night. Alex had got drug into surgery at the last minute and he was upset he wouldn't get to say goodbye. He made sure that Jo promised they could Facetime and Hannah cried hugging us goodbye. I refused to cry, I had to be the strong mom. I was already having an issue with my two-year-old traveling on a plane by herself, but the Hospital Board had insisted that the Avery Jet take her with two surgical interns to watch over her as part of their "Medicine Outside of the Hospital" requirement. I was secretly jealous because I had to go help give Flu Shots in the ghetto of Denver out of a Medi-van when I was an intern.

I knew that Grey+Sloan was bought by 5 surgeons who partnered with The Harper Avery Foundation. I also knew that the Head of Plastics was an Avery, but I hadn't worked with him yet. I was taken aback by their offer but I figured since they were the ones paying for the travel per my contract, they could decide how to do it.

Meredith Grey, who's sister Lexie Grey was one of the doctors that the hospital memorialized, was a very good friend of Alex and she immediately took a liking to me. She held the title of Chief of General Surgery and had exceptional talent. From everything that I heard about her late mother and husband, it was clear that Meredith Grey was just like them. She insisted that she get a babysitter tonight so that her and I, along with Alex, Jo and a handful of other surgeons could go over to the bar across the street from the hospital. She said that she thought I needed a night out. She was right, but I still resisted at first. It didn't take much convincing so I made sure to pack a bag of casual clothes for after my shift.

Meredith and Jo were waiting for me in the lounge at the end of the day. "Come on, get ready!" Jo said, laughing as I walked in. Both of them were already dressed for going out and I immediately groaned. They both looked amazing. I just felt like a kid next to them.

"Yeah, I was thinking that I would just go home tonight…" I started but was cut off by both of them yelling at me to go get changed. I rolled my eyes, grabbed my bag from my cubby and told them to give me ten minutes.

I'm not self-conscious. You can't really be when you're a doctor. You see people's everything it tends to make you appreciate what you have yourself. But I've never seen any of these people outside of work, so I'm nervous. I quickly changed from my scrubs to dark jeans and a yellow top that I was fully aware made my chest look extra noticeable and accented my thin waist. I took my hair out of it's ponytail and combed my hands through it a bit until it sat down a little better. I put some diamond studs into the holes in my ears (compliments of Hannah via Cole for Mother's Day last year) and clasped a dangling necklace around my neck. Brushing some bronzer on my face, brushing a little more mascara on and lining my eyes a little darker, I took one last look and headed out the door.

"Holy Crap!" Meredith exclaimed when I reached the lounge.

"You're a smoke show! Maybe it's a good thing that your brother wasn't around during your teenage years." Jo said with wide eyes. I busted out laughing. That was one bright side, I guess.

"Oh, shut up and let's go." I say, immediate color going to my face. This was going to be a long night.

The three of us walked into Joe's and I immediately liked it. It was a hole in the wall and I was at ease right away. Alex spotted us and waved us over to the part of the bar a group of them were standing at. He greeted his wife with a kiss, Meredith with a joke and grabbed me into a hug. Things weren't totally normal between us but our family never really was. It was nice to be close to him again.

"You're an adult, but don't think I won't tell you I think your outfit is too revealing." He said once he pulled away. His wife hit him in the arm and he immediately put up his hands. "I'm just saying! I don't want men looking at my little sister like they're going to look at her!" Laughing, he grabbed three beers from the bar that were just placed down and gave each of us one. "I'm not sure if you know everyone here, so I'll introduce you."

Going around the small group, I said hello to Owen and Amelia. I hadn't worked with Amelia much but I knew her late brother was Meredith's husband and that some type of romance was going on between Owen and her. I was introduced to Bailey's husband, who I learned WAS a resident but left to pursue his dream of being on the Seattle Fire Department. After a few more introductions to doctors and one nurse I didn't know, Alex steered me towards the end of the group towards a tall guy who was watching the game on the screen above all the fancy bottles.

"Hey man," Alex said, causing the man to turn around and look at us. He was good looking, like extremely. It had been a long time since I had noticed a man's feature. His dark eyes looked kind and the way he held himself just told a girl that he was completely confident. I could see his strong chest underneath his shirt and I immediately made myself stop thinking, right then and there. "This is my little sister and our new Head of Ortho, Amber. Amber, this is my good friend and Head of Plastics, Jackson Avery."

"Oh my god!" I exclaimed, reaching forward to shake his hand. "Dr. Avery, thank you so much for help with my daughter's travel arrangements yesterday. The interns were amazing with her and I didn't think she was going to stop talking about the ride when she called last night. I really, REALLY appreciate it." I smiled at him. I was somewhat taken aback by his dazzling smile back at me.

"It was no problem, but please – call me Jackson." When he let go of my hand, I felt disappointed. What is going on with me?! I thought. Yeah, the guy was hott but I didn't even know him. Saved by Meredith who was calling me over to her, I excused myself from the two men and walked over to her. I didn't need to hear what Meredith said next, because I already had a feeling.

"Um, Jackson Avery cannot stop looking at your ass!"

At least I still got it.

I hope you enjoyed! I'm not convinced yet that this will be a big romance piece, but it is Grey's Anatomy and where would we be without it?!
