The Ring On My Finger
Chapter 3
"I forgot you have to wait for the pill to get into your system," whispered April, as they walked back into the hotel.
"Its fine Apes we'll just have to wait a couple of weeks. It's no big deal," smiled Jackson.
"Really?" asked April.
"Really," smiled Jackson. "Now how about lunch. We missed breakfast and from what I can recall we had a workout last night so you must be starving because I know I am."
April blushed and Jackson chuckled.
"Anyone could be around. Your mother, Meredith, Derek, Cristina or Owen," hissed April.
"Sorry," smirked Jackson.
"But your not," hissed April.
"No I'm really not but lunch," asked Jackson, with a laugh.
"Is this my husband treating me?" asked April.
"Yes," answered Jackson.
A few days later.
Jackson sighed, he knew April had gone into an on call room a while ago – to sleep. It was two fifty am, they were both on the night shift and it was pretty dead. No incoming traumas, they had rounded on their patients. So he was going to go and curl up with his wife. His wife, wow he was till getting used to that. He knew how to deal with April, though saying deal with sounds wrong. He knew April, he knew her tendencies to freak out, babble and be paranoid. He knew how to live with her and he was happy.
He knew the room she was in. He had seen her go in. Now he was slipping into the same room, locking the door – they weren't public yet – toeing of his trainers and curling up next to her.
She woke a while later, her vision blurred as she came round, then she realized it was dark. Well it was still early morning. Then she realized she resting against a chest, her husbands chest and light from anywhere in the room was blocked out.
She smiled, checked the time and her pager and snuggled into Jackson's chest closing her eyes to get a bit more sleep. But as she did the beeping started, simultaneous beeping. Signally both pagers. April groaned sat up and grabbed it before gently nudging Jackson.
"Jackson we're needed in the pit," whispered April.
"You go. I'll follow," whispered Jackson.
April nodded.
She was just about to get up when Jackson grabbed her arm and pulled her into a longing, long and tender kiss that left her breathless.
"Jackson," she groaned. "Needed in pit."
"Go," he smiled. "I'll follow."
April smiled and slipped out of the on call room shrugging on her lab coat as she ran.
It was only a matter of minutes after April entered the pit that Jackson turned up. Soon they were hard at work saving lives.
