Chapter XII: Terror Attack

"Let the sky fall
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together"

Jackson couldn't believe what the ortho surgeon just had said. Arizona Robbins had cheated on Callie Torres. Woah.

"Hey, come with me, you should sit down...," Jackson ordered quiet and led her to his living room. They sat down on the smaller couch next to the one on which Sofia slept.

"I-I-I wanted to pick her up at the NICU and she...she stood there with Dr. Boswell. A-a-and then I noticed...I noticed Arizona's...wedding r-r-ring pinned up on her scrub t-t-top. We f-f-fought...," Callie explained heavy sobbing with her head on the plastics fellow.

He gently rubbed her shoulder and had to process the information. Woah. But what should he do? Callie and he wasn't so close as she had been with Mark or he with April. After a moment she continued to Jackson's relief:

"I-I-I thought we were past the hard stuff a-a-and I told her that. God, we're...we're married and we have a-a-a child!" The Latina whispered under tears and looked to her girl. She laid there and slept so peaceful having no idea what happened to her mothers.

"A-a-and then I told her what we all have been through...M-m-mark, the plane crash and the b-b-bankruptcy. She then yelled at me that I wasn't on t-t-the freaking plane, that I hadn't had to hear everything that had happened in the woods and it...it wasn't my experience. I-I-I lost Mark and a-a-almost her!"

"Yeah...," was everything Jackson was able to say. Talking about Sloan was still difficult for him. He had been such a great mentor and especially a substitute-brother, an awesome one.

"A-Arizona then said asked me if I wanted the badge of honor or the warrior wounds. Because when I wanted then I should stick out my leg and she'll get a bone saw and go even the score..."
Callie was now furious, she had stood up and threw her arms up in frustration.

"It's all coming back to the freaking leg! She seriously thought I didn't lose anything? I lost her and Mark! I lost two lives that knocks the spots off the damn leg!" Callie nearly screamed furiously. Jackson jumped over to Sofia's couch and put his hands over her ears to let her sleep.
And if Jackson thought the ortho surgeon wouldn't get any louder; dude he was wrong. She wasn't able to stand still so she walked the whole time up and down the living room and started to yell in Spanish. Jackson decided to pick Sofia up to bring her to his bedroom, halfway on his way she asked loud:

"Espera un momento!"

Jackson didn't speak Spanish but he knew what she meant and turned around:

"What?"

"What are you thinking you're doing with my child?" She asked again and pointed her finger at him.

"Try to let her sleep?!"

Callie just turned around and went on with her cursing.

Jackson laid the little kid in the middle of his wide bed and but the blanket under her chin. He ran his hand along her cheek and whispered:

"Your mommys going to be fine again, trust me."

He made his way back to the living room and found a totally devastate Callie. The plastic fellow sat next to her and put his arm again around her shoulder.

"Ya' know, you can move in with me for a while as long you don't want to be with her," Jackson proposed sympathetic.

"That's really cute from you, but it's still my apartment, but thank you really much, I appreciate it," The Latina smiled slightly in response.

They rested in this position for five minutes until Callie interrupted the silence:

"But can I stay for the night?"

"Of course you can! You and Sofia can sleep in my bed and I will stay at the couch, it's okay!" Jackson answered smiling.

"Thank you so much!" Callie required and hugged him.

"No Problem! You need any diaper or something?"

"Yeah right. I totally forgot about that. I-I pick them up, can you watch Sofia until then?"

"Sure, she's asleep so don't worry," He reassured her and wanted to get up to look after Sofia.
Before he opened the door quietly Callie said:

"Thank you, Avery. Really."

Jackson turned around and just smiled as answer.

April got up at six o'clock in the morning and stood up immediately, she was a morning person. She took a shower and while she let the water flew down her body she thought about the current thing that was going on between her and Jackson. That Jackson had kicked Alex under the table because he had said she wasn't hot made her feel unbelievable good. So Jackson had done this either because he wanted to protect her like in the good old times or he thought she was hot. Of course she hoped he did it because he thought she was hot, which girl wouldn't do that? Today she decided to use the vanilla hair shampoo and the appropriate shower gel, it was her favorite. She first bought it in the last year of residency when she was Christmas shopping with Jackson. They had gone into a perfumery because she had looked for a perfume set for her older sister Libby. Jackson had supported her by the choice but they had eventually ended up at the shower gels, because she had needed a new one. She had asked him for help and his first idea had been the vanilla one, Jackson had reasoned it with saying it reminded him of her. April had blushed and had started to stutter a "Thank you" after he had said it and he had to chuckle and hugged her. When they had arrived at the checkout counter Jackson had fished the shower gel out of her basket which she had carried on her arm with the excuse that this was going to be one of her Christmas gift. She had looked shocked at him and had been most confused about the part "being one of her gifts". He had just smiled at her and had waited with her in the line. This was the first time April noticed the growing feelings for him.

Ten minutes later she sat in the kitchen and ate her toast and read the newspaper. The title said: "President visiting the governor in the Space Needle". April browsed through the rest of the newspaper and finally left the apartment...

6 hours later after April, Jackson, Callie and all the other surgeons at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital had arrived...

Jackson was currently in a meeting when he got a page, they needed him in the ER. He excused himself and left. When he arrived at the ER he found nearly every hospital surgeon in the parking bay, they were all totally anxious. Jackson went to April seeing her going up and down in front of the door and asked:

"Hey, April! What the devil is going on here?"

"There was a terror attack in front of the Space Needle. We'll get about fifty patients, the others we're spread over the whole Seattle area. Oh my god I'm so scared...," April admitted anxious. Jackson place both of his hands on her shoulders and said:

"Okay, we can do this. You're fine?" Jackson asked worried.

"Yeah, I guess...," April whispered and exhaled.

Jackson felt bad because she wasn't fine. A terror attack was the last thing they needed here at the GSMH.

"What kind of terror attack was it? Bomb or gun battle?"

"Both, but mostly bomb wounds."

Jackson nodded and walked with her out when they heard the sirens of the ambulances.

Christina got the first one, then came Meredith, Alex, Callie, Arizona and then April.

The paramedic Darren came out and said:

"Yasha Antun. Is about the mid twenties. His arms were blown away, is about to bleed out and was briefly in cardiac arrest. He is also unconscious at the moment"

"Okay, let's get him into the trauma room, it's serious," April said and rushed into the ER.

Jackson got the next one, a little girl. His paramedic was Mia and told him the facts:

"Sophie Kennedy, 4 years old, deep laceration on her left cheek."

"All right, let's go," Jackson murmured and shoved her into the ER.

He suddenly heard the crying of the little girl. He took her hand and said:

"Hey Sophie, I'm Jackson. I'm your doctor and I help you so you'll feel better, okay?"

"I-I-I want my mommy!" The little girl whined.

"I'm sure your mommy shows up soon, don't worry."

Sophie nodded still crying but she calmed herself a little down.

When they arrived at a treatment room he still hold her hand. Jackson placed his hands under her armpits and wanted to lay her down on the bed but she reached out and grabbed for his neck. Finally he hugged her and caressed carefully her back.

April who was in the room on the opposite looked through the window and smiled when she saw Jackson cuddling with the little girl. On her opinion it looked adorable, Jackson would made a fantastic father. But she had a patient at the moment which she should treat now. They didn't got the whole arms, they were ragged, so April had to stitch. Dr. Schmidt, the plastic surgeon, was with her and already said that he had no choice, he would lose both of his arms for now.

"We need a OR now!" April announced but Dr. Schmidt replied that there was no OR free at the moment so they had to do the surgery in the trauma room.

They anesthetized Yasha and April started to work on his arms.

Back at the trauma room where Jackson finally got Sophie in her bed:

"Sophie, listen to me. I'll give you something that will stop your pain. You'll feel better within seconds, okay?" Jackson explained and smiled at her. Sophie nodded and let Jackson give her the medicine.

"Soo, I have to stitch your cheek, here look," Jackson said and showed Sophie the suture.

"Will it hurt?" Sophie asked worried and looked with her huge brown eyes at Jackson.

"I know that you scared, but you don't have to. The medicine I gave you numbs your cheek so you won't feel anything when I stitch your wound," Jackson answered and smiled at her. She grabbed his hand and hold it tight. Luckily just in time her mother showed up, she just had some scratches, and ran immediately to her daughter.

"Oh my god, Sophie! I'm so so sorry, I should have...," Ms. Kennedy cried and hold her kid tight.

Jackson stood there for three minutes when Sophia's mother finally let her go.

"I-I'm sorry...I-I..." Ms. Kennedy sobbed.

Jackson reached out his hand and said:

"I'm Dr. Avery."

The women in the mid twenty shook his hand and he continued:

"You're daughter has a deep laceration on her cheek. I just have to stitch it, it wouldn't even take five minutes. I would be great if you take Sophie on your lab so I could get a better position"

Ms. Kennedy nodded and sat down at the table carrying Sophie on her lab.

Jackson took the needle and thread and started to stitch the wound. After eleven stitches he had finished and turned around, opened one door in the shelf and put out a patch with fairies on it. He placed it carefully on her cheek and said smiling:

"That looks pretty cool now, Sophie. And come back in ten days, because then we can remove the stitches."

Sophie grabbed again for Jackson and he first looked at her mother for consent but she just nodded smiling. He hugged her and Sophie whispered in his ear:

"Thank you, Jackson."

He had to smile bright and whispered back:

"No problem, Sophie."

Sophie giggled and Jackson had to chuckle about the adorable way her giggle sounded like. He gave Sophie back to her mom and said goodbye.

Back at April's patient...

April had already managed to get the bleeding under control but she still had to stitch it. Suddenly Dr. Schmidt got paged, they needed him on a pretty ugly burn case, and asked:

"Dr. Kepner, I gotta go. But I see that Dr. Avery is done with his patient, I get him for you, okay?"

"That would be great, thank you Dr. Schmidt!" April smiled while she grabbed the treatment.

Just a few seconds after Dr. Schmidt had left, Jackson appeared in the doorframe and looked at the patient.

"Okay, what's up with him?"

"His arms were blown away, went into cardiac arrest and is unconscious at the moment."

"All right, you were about to stitch his arms, weren't you?"

April nodded looking at him and Jackson knew what they were going to do, each of them would stitch one. They took their seat in front of each other and started to treat the rest of his arms.

"Do you know what exactly happened in front of the Space Needle?"

"I have no clue, I haven't spoke to someone recently, but I guess they talk to you first instead of me, Jackson," April answered and smiled slightly at him.

"Holy crap, I have to talk in front of the journalists, shouldn't I? Damn it," Jackson cursed, he hated to talk in front of cameras, he usually got nervous or in the worst case he would break down.

"Hey, don't worry, I guess Hunt has do it, so calm down," She encouraged him and looked up.

"Thank you," Jackson smiled at her.

But their lovely gaze was interrupted by the beeping of the heart-monitor. Jackson looked up and said:

"He has ventricular fibrillation. Defibrillator!"

April grabbed the defibrillator and started the CPR. After two shocks his heart recovered and his heart started to work again.

Suddenly April heard metal falling down on the ground so she looked what it was. She bended down and looked at it - it was a long necklace with a round pendant. April reared up and looked at the pendant. When she saw what was on it she had to gasped and Jackson looked confused at her.

April looked up, her eyes were wide in shock and whispered horrified:

"Jackson..."

Hehe, guess what's on the pendant ;-)

As always, please review or give me suggestion, that'd be great!
