The next week April spent most of her time studying for her boards. She couldn't fail this time around. Her time back at the hospital had to mean something. She spent most of her free time in the office that was given to her when she became chief resident. Often times Alex, and Cristina would pass by and every once in a while Jackson would pass by and they would just avoid eye contact. Although reading books was crucial to learning material for her boards, she figured nothing would serve more useful than experience in surgeries so she tried to be in as many cases as she could. April was about to head home and she bumped into Catherine Avery.

"April honey do you have any surgeries planned for tomorrow?" Catherine asked her. Richard had finally woken up but his memory was foggy at best and they were still waiting and hoping for him to have a full recovery.

"I have to study for my boards." April responded while trying to avoid working with her ex's mother.

"Nonsense! You're scrubbing in with me and Jackson tomorrow. We're operating on a 28 year old man with diphallia."

"I actually have to um.. Do an appendectomy." April lied.

"You rather do an appendectomy than my once in a lifetime surgery? I know there's man parts involved, but honey you're a little too old to get scared over something that brings so much pleasure."

"I'm not afraid of.. Man parts.. ." April replied awkwardly.

"See you at 10." Ms. Avery shouted as she walked away before letting April respond.

Great, just what she needed she thought. Jackson and his mom in a room with her and his mom trying to convince her to have sex.

The next morning April wasn't ready for what awaited her at the hospital. She was dreading working with the Avery's after what happened with her and Jackson. She walked into the mans room and found Catherine and Jackson there.

"April" Jackson said with a confused look on his face.

"Your mom wanted me to scrub in." She responded. They hadn't even gone into the OR yet and things were already awkward. April prepped the man for surgery and reassured him that everything was going to be fine. April always had great bed side manners. Her, Catherine and Jackson scrubbed in and began to cut the man open. April and Jackson kept staring at each other awkwardly in the quiet room. Catherine decided to break the silence.

"So April I hear you're engaged. When's the big wedding?" Catherine asked.

"There's not going to be a wedding." April replied awkwardly. "We broke up."

Jackson looked up at April. April knew right then by the shocked look on his face that he hadn't heard the news yet.

"Well that's a shame. I know the perfect guy to set you up with! It's time you had a little fun. If Richard were better, we'd probably be doing it right now!" She said smiling.

"Mom!" Jackson shouted as he pictured his mom with Richard. After spending the whole day in surgery, they had finally finished. As April was leaving the OR Catherine ran after her.

"April what's this I hear about Jackson dating an intern?" She asked.

"Um I don't know, you'd have to ask Jackson." April responded. Catherine walked away as she searched for other people to bombard with questions about Jackson.

"Webber remembers!" Owen yelled as he ran past April. She ran after him only to find Richard sitting on his bed talking to everyone. He had an announcement to make.

"Catherine, I had a lot of time to think this through before my accident. It's been a long time since anyone has made me smile the way that you do. You're a little crazy sometimes, but that's part of why I'm so crazy about you. Throughout the time that I've known you you've made me become a better man than I could ever dream of being. Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Richard asked her as she sat next to him with tears coming down her eyes.

"Of course." She responded. April was so happy to see them come together. She needed something to remind her that love wasn't always bad. After all the excitement, everyone was getting ready to go home. As April walked out of the hospital, she couldn't help but notice Jackson and Catherine walking along side Stephanie. She couldn't believe Jackson introduced his mom to Stephanie. And even more she couldn't believe that Catherine actually seemed to like her. As they were walking by, Jackson turned to look at her and right then April turned to look away.

"April honey, do you want to go get drinks with Jackson and his girlfriend?" Catherine asked cluelessly.

"I have plans, but goodnight." April said as she walked in the opposite direction.
