Glimpses of Forever

"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 #16 - Mama Avery & Japril after Jackson's ILY at the wedding

"Jackson Avery!" Catherine Avery barked as she walked up to her son as he stood at the nurses station, "What is this I hear about you interrupting April's wedding?"

"I don't really want to talk about this now, Mom," Jackson deflected the question.

"Too bad, we are talking about this," She responded, "What were you thinking? Of all things you could do, why that?"

"Because," Jackson hesitated, "I couldn't let her marry him without telling her how I feel."

"And why is that?" she prodded, having an inkling as to where he was going.

"Because, I couldn't let her walk out of my life forever. Because, I couldn't let her be someone else's wife. Because, I love her," he answered, blushing.

"Mmhmm," Catherine responded with a smile, "So when did this all happen, you and April?"

"Mom," Jackson whined before giving in, "Well, it started in San Francisco. Then we picked it up again after we got back."

"Hmmm, so Kepner took my advice, huh?" she chuckled to herself.

"Mom. Stop," Jackson said, giving her a dirty look.

"Fine, just one more thing, baby," She responded, "Be careful with her. You've already done plenty of damage." Catherine gave her only son a kiss on the cheek before adding, "Be careful, Jackson. She isn't the kind of girl you fool around with. She's the kind of girl you marry." She gave him a hug before leaving him alone.

"I know," he whispered so she could barely hear him.
