Hi guys, I would really appreciate some chapter ideas as I'm running out. I particularly like writing about Luke's relationship's with the characters, specifically Jackson, so I would love some ideas on that. However I am completely open to any suggestions. You can pm me or leave them in a review. Thank you.
"I'm sure you have all heard but if not, after the other week's fundraiser we have officially raised $130,000 which means we now have the funds to carry on and open new research opportunities" Owen announces to his staff.
"We also can now definitely keep the ER open, meaning we'll stay a level 1 trauma centre. Obviously we have the donators and the doctors who stayed that night to raise money, to thank for it. However, we would like to give special recognition to our favourite team leader, who is currently recovering from a very serious car accident, Luke Shepherd" Jackson starts the applause before turning to Luke who was next to him "Come on then Lukey boy, have your moment"
"Thank you Dr Avery, you can step down now" Luke grins gently pushing Jackson off the set of stairs with his good arm "I would like to say I know you all owe me a great deal, as the reason most of you will keep your jobs is because I managed to gain you lots of donations but I don't want any of you to feel pressured in to thanking me, however if you don't I will have you fired by my good friends Owen or Jackson"
Jackson steps up next to Luke again shaking his head at him, but he was grinning.
"Just to clarify, you will not be fired if you don't thank Mr Shepherd here, however if you don't he might tell his parents and you don't want Dr Shepherd or Dr Grey disliking you, just a suggestion" Owen advises but everyone knew he wasn't serious.
"Because he loves the spotlight, let's have one more round of applause for Luke" Jackson shouts lifting Luke on to his shoulders.
"Well done buddy" Derek praises his son, who was still on Jackson's shoulders.
"Thanks dad, and because today is my last day at the hospital Jackson said I could go on rounds with him? Please can I? I'll love you forever if you let me" Luke begs. Jackson lifts him to the floor so he could have an easier conversation.
"I have to buy love from my own son now do I?" Derek grins before turning to his wife "What do you think Mer, is Luke allowed to go on rounds with Dr Avery?"
"Are you sure you don't mind Jackson?" She asks knowing her son can be a handful.
"Course I don't! I love spending time with him, and plus he's a smart kid, probably a lot smarter than most of the interns"
"Probably a lot smarter than most of the doctors as well" Luke comments.
"Oh is that right?" Derek asks his son, they were both grinning though.
"Obviously not you dad" Luke winks
"Obviously" Derek rolls his eyes jokingly "Go on then, go with your Uncle Jackson"
"Luke look at me" Meredith states sternly "Uncle Jackson is in charge, you do whatever he says, don't try to be cocky, the patients you'll be seeing are very sick"
"Mer, its fine I'll make sure he's alright" Jackson smiles at her
"I know, I just want to make sure he behaves. Well go on then Doctor Shepherd" Meredith strokes Luke's cheek before he leaves with Jackson.
"I'm so glad we chose Jackson and Owen as his god-father's" Meredith tells her husband as they watched their son walk off joking with Jackson.
"Me too. Owen loves him and Luke really respects him. Jackson loves Luke more than anything and Luke really looks up to him" Derek agrees smiling at his wife
"Do you think Luke will end up becoming a doctor?"
"Honestly no I don't, I think he's too smart, I think he's the smartest kid I know and he'll end up doing something completely amazing"
"I hope so" Meredith replies quietly.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Why is there a kid with us? What's so special about him anyway?" Dr Murphy whispers to Dr Wilson. Jackson had been walking behind them because he was talking to Owen when he heard her. He looked around to make sure Luke was still talking to Callie and Mark before stopping his interns.
"Do you have something you want to say Murphy?" He questions angrily.
"I was just wondering why Shepherd's kid was with us?" She asked and as soon as she did she regretted it. She'd never seen Avery look with so much hate.
"Do you mean Luke? My god-son?" Jackson replies bitterly. Leah's mind froze, she had no idea he was the kids god-father. "Luke is with us because he's a great kid. He charmed someone in to donating $80,000 to the hospital and the other day him and his brother were in a severe car crash, so I thought I would try and cheer him up because I know how much he loves being a doctor"
"I-I didn't know" Murphy stutters. She really was in for it.
"Yeah you didn't know. Luke is great and if you gave him a chance you'd love him as much I do, so shut your mouth and get on with being a doctor by checking that patients sinuses" Jackson points to a patient.
"Yes okay, I'm sorry" She replies quickly. Jackson nods accepting the apology. He sets his interns separate patients and walks back over to Luke, Mark, Owen and Callie.
"Luke you ready buddy?" Jackson asks
"Yeah I am" The short boy grins
"Playing doctor with Avery today huh?" Mark smirks "You're probably already better than he is" He winks at Avery to show he was joking
"I'm probably better than all of you" Luke grins and they all narrow their eyes at him.
"And where did you go to med school?"
"Mark, only the incompetent doctors go to med school, if you're as talented as me you don't have to"
"I thought your mum told you not to be cocky?" Jackson smirks
"She's not here" Luke shrugs and grins.
"Is that your attitude, if your mum and dad aren't there you can do whatever you want?" Callie asks smiling at him, he did amuse her.
"Isn't that everybody's attitude? You have to do things you might not necessarily be allowed to do, it's called living life"
"The wisdom of a recently turned 14 year old child" Owen jokes
"What did I say the other day Owen? Age doesn't define maturity" Luke recalls. The adults laughed at him, not because he was funny but because he was so innocent which made him such a great person.
"What does age determine then?" Mark asks him. Luke stops and thinks for a moment before answering.
"Oh the genius is out of answers" Jackson teases but Luke holds up his hand to stop him.
"Age determines growth" He answers simply
"That would mean at your height your age would be about 8" Owen teases him.
"I don't mean literally Owen" Luke narrows his eyes at him "I mean age determines your growth as a person"
"That's a very wise answer Luke, I agree you're much more intelligent than these three" Callie grins "I'll see you later" She adds quickly before walking off when she is paged.
"Much more intelligent" Luke grins
"I wouldn't say that now Callie is gone, you just lost your body guard" Mark advises
"Oh yeah? What are you going to do beat up a kid with a broken arm? Bring it on" Luke pushes him playfully. He was sitting on the counter desk, so was about the same height as all three men.
"Bring it on huh?" Mark grins poking him in the ribs.
"I could drop you any day"
"Is that right?" Mark asks moving closer to Luke, repeatedly poking him in the ribs. Luke tries to push him off but fails.
"Mark what are you doing to my son?" Derek grins coming up from behind Luke and squeezing his sides.
"Get off me" Luke grins pushing Mark's and his dad's hands away. They both do as he asked. Derek leans against the other side of the desk next to Luke.
"You having fun?" Derek asks his son
"I'm trying to explain to these three that I'm much smarter than them" Luke winks at the three men
"Oh you definitely are, you have my genes" Derek jokes
"I don't think that's the reason" Luke grins
"What happened to not being cocky?"
"You should have heard him earlier, he told us that he doesn't ever have to do what you or Meredith say if you're not around" Mark informs his friend
"Oh did he?" Derek looks at his son wide eyed
"I didn't say that" Luke looks his dad in the eye. Over the years he had learnt to become a very good liar.
"Are you calling your Uncle Mark a liar?"
"Jackson, I think it's time we go and see one of your patients" Luke says jumping down off the desk.
"Yeah that's what I thought, stop being cocky and you better listen to everything your mum and I tell you to do in the future young man" Derek calls after his son who raises his thumb.
