April and Jackson had been a couple for a week now. Jackson had Hunt hire April back at the hospital and things had been going smoothly for them. The next morning they were both at work talking when Catherine noticed them together. She walked over to the couple.

"My girlfriend's pretty isn't she?" Jackson smiled at his mom.

"Well this is a first. This is the first time you've ever willingly told me about someone you're dating." She said to him.

"Yea well this is the first time I've meant it." He responded looking at April.

"Now you treat my son right." Catherine said to April.

"I plan to Ms. Avery." April smiled.

"This is so exciting! Now you can come to all the family functions. Of course I'll be picking out your clothes." She said.

"Bye mom." Jackson said annoyed as he walked away with April.

"That reminds me, I want you to meet my family. They're coming from Moline soon." She said as she looked up at him.

"I don't know April - I'm not usually good with parents." He replied.

"Oh come on, they'll love you." She said as she flashed him a smile that made him unable to refuse. Right then Jackson noticed Stephanie staring at them.

"Fine, I have to go do something. Meet me after work?" He said as he gave her a kiss. April smiled and walked off. Jackson then approached Stephanie.

"So it was Kepner." Stephanie said to him.

"It is, but I never wanted to hurt you Stephanie. Me and April have history. I love her. And I thought me and you were just having fun in the beginning. That doesn't make it okay and I'm sorry." Jackson said to her.

"You're sorry? Well that doesn't make things better, does it?" She said as she walked off. Jackson felt bad for using her, but he had apologized. There was nothing more he could do but give her time to get over it. Jackson headed off to his first surgery. The day was going by fast and the afternoon came.

April was having lunch in the attendings lounge when Jackson walked in.

"So I was thinking a one bedroom with wooden floors and a marble bathroom." Jackson said as he sat next to April and pointed at a newspaper.

"Oh that sounds nice. Now that I think about it, I need to find a place to live too." She said oblivious to what Jackson had just said.

"It's close to the hospital so we'd never be late." He said ignoring her comment. April looked at him shocked.

"We? Jackson Avery, are you asking me to move in with you?" She smiled.

"That depends. Are you saying yes?" He asked, scared of her response.

"Of course!" She said as she got out of her seat and hugged him.

"Me and you huh?" She said.

"Me and you." He smiled. They both went off to do their surgeries for the day. April had a hernia repair with Meredith. They both went over the risks with the patient and headed to the OR. They cut the patient open.

"So how are Zola and Bailey?" April asked Meredith.

"Cute as ever. I remember when I first got with Derek I never wanted to be a mom. Now I can't ever imagine not being one." Meredith smiled.

"I'm happy for you guys. And if you ever need a babysitter, I am more than happy to take care of them." April said.

"So you and Jackson together now?" Meredith asked her.

"Yeah we are." April responded.

"Told you he'd come around, they always do." Meredith said to April.

"He makes me the happiest I've ever been. I'm just scared to let myself be happy because life usually has a way of messing that up." April said.

"Well you're with him now right? Which means no matter how bad life messed things up, it brought you guys together." Meredith smiled.

"I guess you're right." April responded. They finished their surgery and took their patient to the recovery room. April was getting ready to leave work. She waited for Jackson in front of the hospital. Jackson sneaked up on her and kissed her neck.

"Are you ready to go?" Jackson asked as he put his jacket around her. April nodded and started walking with him.
