Glimpses of Forever

by april-avery

"And I need you now tonight, and I need you more than ever. Forever's gonna start tonight." This is what comes later and some other stuff, too. A collection of Japril Drabbles from Tumblr prompts. They are not sequential just whatever felt right for each prompt. Most occur after Jackson and April are back together. Some are from the past. Other characters show up too.

Drabble #14 - Fluffy scene where Japril talk about their plans for the future (and thus, kids and family) please :)

April climbed into bed as Jackson flipped through a copy of Sports Illustrated. Trying to get his attention, April started talking.

"What do you see for us in the next 10 years?" She asked curiously, "What do you think our future will be like?"

"Well," he began as he put the magazine on his night stand, "I see us getting married. Any kind of wedding you want. I don't care. Honestly it doesn't matter much to me what the future holds as long as you're in it."

"You know, I was thinking about that, and I think what I want is different now," April replied, "I planned that whole wedding with Matthew and all my family was there and we all know how that went." Jackson laughed, remembering his role is ruining April's last wedding.

"I think something small would be perfect," April continued, "Just you, me, and our Grey Sloan family. I love my family but I don't need them to be here."

"I like the sound of that," Jackson replied, as April snuggled up to him.

"What about kids?" April asked, "How many do you want?"

"Two or three would be good," He answered after he thought about it, "I was an only child. I always wanted a brother. Boys or girls, I don't really care."

"I hope we get at least one of each," April responded chuckling, "and I hope they have your eyes."

"When do you want to start having kids?" Jackson asked her.

"Well, I can't wait to have a family with you, but I don't want to completely give up my career," April answered, "Maybe after a few years."

"Don't let my mother hear that," Jackson laughed, "She's gonna expect kids the moment we get married. She's anxious for grandchildren."

"Ha! I'll remember that," April reacted, "So when we do get married, do you want me to change my name?"

"I want whatever you want," Jackson responded, "If you want to stay, Dr. Kepner, I understand that. You've worked very hard and people know you that way. If you want to take Avery, that's okay too."

"April Avery does have a nice ring to it," April commented, fondly, "but that might get a little confusing. How many Dr. Avery's does the world need? How about April Kepner-Avery?"

"Perfect, but I think I'm still going to call you April Avery," Jackson answered as he and April drifted off, dreaming of their future together.
