Hey everyone! It's been a while since the last chapter and I'm sorry. Life get's in the way of writing. Anyway, here is the new piece of the story. Hope this helps you to wait till S13.
Also, thank you all for the reviews :)
The dinner was amazing, they were finally starting to feel each other after a really long time. Not having the feeling that something was about to happen or that either of them would hurt the other, the conversation was easy and full of hope, hope that they were starting to build something amazing together, little by little, step by step.
After the dinner, Jackson left their former apartment giving April a hug, oh that hug, that warmth that she missed so much. It took a while they had to break the contact. It was getting pretty late and both had early shifts the morning after. But the time they had wasn't enough to finish discussing everything they wanted to.
- "Thanks April, for everything. Had a great time". He said with a grin.
- "Yeah yeah Glad you liked. To be honest, I had a pretty different vision of what this night would be like. But it was really good". She replied.
- "See you tomorrow than. Goodnight".
- "Aren't you forgetting something?". Jackson started to think one hundred possibilities on his head. He's love to kiss her right now, but that would be too much, "baby steps" he thought.
- "I… humm".
- "Come on, say goodnight to the baby". April said taking his hands to her belly.
- "Goodnight little boy… or girl".
- "About that… I'm not sure I wanna know the sex Jackson… What do you think?".
- "Well, I think a surprise wouldn't be the worse thing in the world…".
- "Do you wanna, grab lunch with me tomorrow. We barely talked about baby names and these stuff today". They spent the dinner talking like best friends that hadn't seen each for a long time. Of course the conversation went to the baby sometimes, but they both needed to catch up in each others lives, they had been apart for so long.
- "Sure. We can talk. Tomorrow is my day off, but i'll meet you at the hospital. I better go. You and baby need rest". He said with a grin.
- "Night Jackson.". They exchanged looks and she closed the door.
They'd be okay. She thought sitting on the couch.
They'd be fine. He thought before driving to his apartment.
The next day started pretty slow in the pit so April was doing paperwork in the nursing station thinking about what was going to happened a few months later, imagining how her life would change forever and with renewed hopes about her little until Arizona appeared to talk.
-"Morning April. How's my baby doing in there?".
-"Baby is great. I'm great, everything is great!". She said a little too much excited. She looked like old Kepner, not the 2.0, playful, all rainbows and happiness. Something had happened…
-"So… do you wanna have lunch with me today?" Arizona asked, the plan was to find what was going on with April. Maybe just the hormones, she thought.
-"Oh, sorry, I can't today. I have a thing. We could have dinner. What do you say?".
-"Of course, that's cool. Sofia will be with Callie tonight so I'm free."
-"Great!". They started chatting until an incoming arrived and and when they saw the patient, everyone was glad Arizona was nearby….
- "Brooke Parker. 27. Was stabbed in the abdomen. 7 months pregnant…". The paramedic continued talking as they moved her. There was so much blood.
- "Straight to the OR." Arizona yelled.
It was a really complicated surgery, no way April would be finished by lunch time.
Jackson arrived and went to look for her in the pit, asking for one the nurses where she was, just as Josh Parker arrived yelling at everyone asking for his wife.
Jackson helped him calm down, well as much as he could. He really felt for the guy, he was desperate to have news, good news. They moved to the waiting area and when Jackson was about to live, Josh started talking, probably to himself, about his wife, maybe he shouldn't just leave the guy. He took a seat next and started listen carefully.
Brooke and Josh had been married for 5 years and this was their first baby, a girl. They had trouble to conceive so she was their little miracle. Everything was going nicely. Until some crazy guy attacked her in the grocery store.
Jackson stood there in silence not saying a word and creating all kinds of scenarios in his head: what if something happened with the baby? or with April for that matter. They already had went through the pain of loosing Samuel and that tore them apart. What if it happen again? What if this time was something with April. Man, that was giving him chills, and it was not good.
1 hour and half later, the surgeons were sore, tired and there was a lot to come. April appeared in the waiting area looking for Josh…
Well, guys, a little cliffhanger for you. That chapter was a bit short but I promise a bigger one next. Also, could you help me out with something? Do you think the characters are too OOC? Leave me a message and see you next time!
