Thank you sooooo much for your reviews! They mean a lot to me. Hope you enjoy this chapter

The rest of the day was pretty hectic for April. She was hoping to get some free time to arrange everything for later. She surely didn't want to have high hopes for that night, but she had been wanting to give him that since as long she could remember. Of course, it wasn't like she was planning to happen, they were supposed to be married, committed to each other and all that, but Mer had said clearly, plans don't mean anything.

Jackson on the other hand, was having a super light day until he had to scrub in a surgery with Karev, a teen was playing with fireworks and ended up in the OR.

- "How is she doing man?"

- "Since when do you care for April's well being?"

- "Hey, first of all, quit being an ass. Second, I've known about her for a long time now and we all know how much she's been thought, both of you for that matter so stop being an idiot and talk to me damn it!".

Jackson realised he had been way to rude for answering a friend that way, a friend that, by the way, had been there for April in the early stages of her pregnancy.

- "Okay, okay, sorry. It's just, complicated…"

- "Oh come on Avery. You love each other, you both made mistakes, you hurt each other pretty bad, yeah who doesn't?! That shouldn't get in the in the way. Specially for you two."

- "But…"

- "You are just creating excuses. Just be honest with each other already. It will be a good thing for the three of you. And of course, for the patients that can't sleep while you two scream like crazy."

Was Alex really giving him advice? Really?

After a long tiring day running the ER, April was finally getting ready to go home when she heard jackson talking to someone. That someone was Alex, they had finished the operation and were now prepping to leave.

She was about to enter when the conversation caught her attention.

- "….I know man, I do have feelings for her and I know that she does too. But it's just too complicated right now. Pregnant ex-wife with a baby in the mix? I can just expect that she'll be fine with everything. It's too much."

"Stop being so stupid Avery! Just go, talk to her. It will be fine. It's not like you haven't done this before… I know it's been a while but you know you what you gotta do man."

- "Yeah…"

Ouch! That felt like a slap in her face. Well, it shouldn't, they weren't married anymore, he could be with anybody he wanted, they didn't belong with each other anymore. But she wasn't over him yet and part of thought she'd never be…

She decided to go home alone and left before the guys realise she was listening to them talking.

Later that night, April was trying to get that conversation out of her head and at the same time, trying not to freak out over Jackson coming over a little later. She thought the perfect thing to do was start cooking! When they were married, she loved too cook him dinner when they got back from work. Not just for him, but the feeling that people liked her food really got to her. Now she was pretty much alone (of course, baby always love to remind his or her presence with his or her kicks) in a big a apartment. Kinda depressing she thought to herself. She had been pretty, a little too much excited for that night and the conversation helped her keeping her feet on the ground, making her feel a little sad in the process. She still loved him too much not to care, but she couldn't do anything about it right now. Right now it was all about the little perfect life growing in her belly, and of course Jackson was the dad, and he was going to be the most amazing dad, which made her think about how much she loved him, which got her back to square one. That was going to be a hell of a night…

A little later, the sound of the doorbell made April got back from her daydreams. She had just finished dinner and was laying down for a little bit in the couch.

When she answered the door, Jackson was standing with a grin across his face and a gift in his hand. She could see he was trying his best to hide, but he was pretty for an Avery. The guy was so secure of himself 99% of the time and now he was looking like a teenage boy for some reason.

- "Hey! Sorry I'm late. Had to go pick this first. Here."

- "Oh, thanks! And come in. Dinner is ready." She said with a smile.

She got the yellow box with the green bow in her hands and closed the door as he entered the apartment.

- "But first check it out what I got for the baby".

- "Yes. Of course."

She unwrapped the box to find all kinds of cute baby stuff. Oh, he's was making the hole "letting her feeling for him go" really really hard…

- "Oh My God." She didn't realise she had tears in her eyes. "That's… that's beautiful Jackson. Thank you so much". When she turned to see him, he was already giving her the look, the same passionate look he'd given her when they were together.

- "You're welcome. And why are you crying April?"

- "The usual" she said, trying to hide her feelings… "hormones and everything.."

- "Ah.. okay. I didn't mean to…"

- "no, no, no. This is perfect. Really. You're just so…" she stopped as Jackson threw a puzzled look.

- "Okay" April thought. "I won't make the same mistake again. Be honest. Talk to him. Go!"

- "Actually I… I…."

- "April, what's going on?" He could begin to understand what she was trying to say.

- "Okay, okay. I overheard you talking to Alex today. And I just… I know that you're moving on, and you've met someone, and it's complicated with everything that happened and that's happening to us. And.. and.. it's gonna be hard for me for while, to adjust, cause you know how I still feel about you"

- "April…"

- "Please, let me finish. Please"

- "Okay, fine, go on"

- "What I think I'm trying to say is:" She let a deep breath. Trying to calm down. "It's gonna be hard for me at first. But if you're happy with someone else, I have to try being happy for you. Even if it still hurts." She still had tears in her eyes and that was some powerful stuff to hear from Jackson's POV.

- "Wow". That was all he could say right away. He was trying to find the right words to talk to her. They need to be very very good.

They were in silence for a few seconds just trying to figure out what each other was thinking. Jackson had to break the tension and explain everything now. There was no scape for him.

- "… Okay, that was a lot." He said, fixing his eyes on her. "first of all, thank you for talking to me about it April, I appreciate that." She nodded.

- "About my conversation, with Alex… I don't know how much you heard but…" How was he going to say that to her? That he still loved her to death, even after she hurt him, when she didn't say she was pregnant and all of that. That he couldn't think of raising their baby without her by his side every step of the way. That he had missed her the time they were apart.

- "But…" she offered with a disbelief look on her face.

- "But.. I… I wasn't talking about some random girl that I've met after the divorce". Nope, not the way he was trying to go..

- "So, that means I know her?" Abort, abort, that was not gonna end well.

- "Actually yeah, very well I believe". April just nodded. He could see she was trying her best not to burst in tears at that point. She was holding all together. She was strong, so strong.

- "April, hey." He stepped a little closer, no to much to enter her personal space, since he had no idea how she dealing with the way he was speaking. "It's.. It's you. April. We were talking about you." he pu his hands up in the air. Meanwhile confusion was all over her face.

- "Yeah" he said with a nervous laugh. And I know it's weird, complicated but it's the truth. And it's too much right now. But it's the truth." They were both in sync right now, if you think about it. They both had a lot to confess, and talk, and finally, after so much time, it was really happening.

- "Okay.. I… That was not what I was expecting. A all." She said with a small smile. "Thank you Jackson. It really… really means a lot to me." Personal space was not an issue anymore. Somewhere between the talk, both got closer and closer with even noticing.

- "And… I… I.. have something for you too." She said, going to her bedroom.

She quickly returned with a bag handing to him. he got it and instantly opened. A light grey t-shirt with the "World's greatest dad" written.

- "April…"

- "You already are." She said. All the tension, all the doubts were on hold for that moment.

- "Thanks April. That's… the most amazing gift. I mean it. Actually I have something for you too." He said, taking a small box out of his pocket.

Her heart was beating so fast. She couldn't believe that night was ending like that. Both of them comfortable with each other, talking, in sync. It was too much.

When she opened, a beautiful golden necklace with a shape of a heart, she could see there was a space for a picture inside. When she gave a better look, in the other side there was initials

- "SN" she said loud.

- "He's always with us April". Jackson's words came as a whisper.

All she could do right now was wrap her arms around him. He's was for sure world's greatest dad.
