A/N – As promised, the second chapter of the week. I don't know exactly when the next chapter will be up but likely not before this time next week. I hope this mixes things up again…a little less fluffy anyway. As of now I'm intending about 3 more chapters that I plan on spreading out over the next 5 weeks or so, with the last chapter to hopefully go up about a week before the Season 11 premiere. I hope you guys like it. Also to my guest reviewers, I can't thank all of you individually, but that you SO much for your reviews. I treasure each and every one of them. Please let me know what you think! Enjoy!

April stood at the nurses' station efficiently running the ER as she did every day. She paused to rub her now visible baby bump.

"Please stop kicking Mama," April instructed her unborn child softly, "I'm trying to work and you are making it very difficult." She swayed a little as she stood there hoping to lull her little one to sleep.

She returned to her charts until she sensed someone come up behind her.

"Hey gorgeous," Jackson whispered in her ear, before lightly kissing her neck, and then lightly cradling her belly.

As much as this turned April on, now was not the time. Not while she was 7 months pregnant, and not while she had so much work to do.

"Babe, as much as I love you, now really isn't a good time," April resisted her husband's affection.

"That's okay. I have a surgery in a few minutes. I just wanted to see you before I scrub in," Jackson replied, "I love you."

"I love you, too," April responded, turning to kiss her husband once more before he hurried out of the ER and toward the elevators.

April returned to the quiet, efficient ER, enjoying the hums of the machines and the voices of the residents. This day was just like any other day. Then, all of the sudden there was a commotion coming to the ER, not from the ambulance bay, but from within the hospital.

"Mama!" cried a small scared voice. April had heard that word so many times, but this was different. This one broke her heart. April turned around to see her little boy being rolled into the ER from the daycare, blood running down his face.

"Elijah!" April yelped as she hurried over to him, before turning her attention to one of the caregivers who accompanied him to the ER, "Jen, What happened?"

"He ran into the corner of a bookshelf. The corner got him pretty good in the side of the forehead," Jen replied.

April tried hard to be calm but, the irrational, pregnant woman in her took over, "How could this happen? Was anyone watching him? Someone page my husband!" She finished with a bellow. A resident quickly went to work paging Dr. Avery from his surgery.

Within moments, Jackson appeared as one of the residents was attending to the gash on Eli's forehead.

"April! What's wrong!?" Jackson asked panicked by the urgency of her page.

"E-Eli," was all April could say as she pointed toward their son. Jackson noticed quickly that Elijah would be okay and was in good hands already.

He took April in his arms, "Oh April, Elijah is okay. He got a pretty good cut, but he's in the best hands. I helped train these residents myself. A few stiches and he'll be just fine. Let's give them some room. Come on," Jackson reassured her as he led her to an on call room.

Once they entered the room, Jackson closed the door and helped April take a seat on the bed next to him.

"April, you've seen cuts like that before and you know we can stitch it up and he'd be good as new. Is something else bothering you?" Jackson asked as rubbed his wife's back.

"I don't know if we can do this. How can we handle Elijah plus our daughter, plus our jobs, plus your seat on the board? What were we thinking?" April responded still panicked.

"We were thinking we love Elijah so much and we loved him so much as a baby, we wanted to feel that again. We were-wait…we're having a girl? Jackson answered before realizing the new information April shared that she had previously withheld.

"Yeah, we're having a girl," April answered, calming down, rubbing her belly, and looking up at Jackson, "I'd been meaning to tell you after my appointment yesterday but I fell asleep before you got home last night and I just forgot." April said as she got upset again, realizing her mistake.

"April, it's okay," Jackson replied realizing the source of everything, "I think your pregnancy hormones are getting the best of you. I'm so happy we are having a girl and I can't wait to meet her." Jackson put his hand over April's that was resting on her belly.

"I am as in love with you as I've ever been and I will do everything I can to help you with our son and our daughter," Jackson continued, " I'll talk to my mom about me taking some time away from the board. They can handle things without me and she can meet with the board herself. After all I'm sure she'll want to come visit her granddaughter."

"Really?" April asked surprised at his calmness.

"Yes, we can do this," Jackson answered, "We can do anything as long as we're together. Me and you."

"Me and you," April agree softly. She snuggled close to him, enjoying the quiet moment together, a rare thing with a toddler.

"So should we go see our son?" Jackson suggested, "I bet he's just about all cleaned up."

"Yes, we should," April agreed, "I'm sure he's wondering where we are."

Jackson offered his hand to April as he stood up. She slid her fingers between his and stood up to follow him. The two walked out of the room, April leaning on his shoulder, never more thankful for her husband as she was right now.

They walked into the ER to see Elijah, sitting on the gurney all bandaged up and smiling, reaching for them.

"Mama! Daddy!" The two and a half year old squealed seeing them. When they got to his gurney April picked him up and kissed his head.

"Mama loves you so much," April whispered as she hugged him closed.

"Let's go home," Jackson recommended, "Callie said she'd finish my surgery and it won't be just the three of us for long. Let's enjoy this while we can."

"Sounds perfect," April agreed, leaning against her husband as he wrapped his family in his arms.
