After April gives him a nice and sweet Valentine's Day surprise, Jackson has to quickly come up with something for April since he forgot it's Valentine's Day.


Jackson lay in his bed and slowly began to wake up, he looked beside him and saw that April was no longer beside him.

The bedroom door opened and April stood in the opening with a tray in her hands. "Good morning."

"Morning."

April walked into the room, she placed the tray near Jackson.

"This is for you," she said.

"What is this?" Jackson asked.

"Just breakfast for my husband," April said.

"Are these your chocolate chip pancakes?" Jackson asked.

"Yes," April said.

"Coffee and orange juice," Jackson said.

"Fresh orange juice," April corrected him.

"This is really sweet of you, what did I do to deserve this?" Jackson asked.

"I just want to spoil my husband a little, it's our first Valentine's Day together," April said.

April pressed her lips to Jackson's, his eyes wide with surprise because he had totally forgotten it was Valentine's Day. April pulled away and she saw there was something about Jackson.

"Are you all right? Are you sick?" April asked.

"I'm fine," Jackson said.

"Good, this breakfast isn't all I have for you today," April said.

"You have more for me?" Jackson asked.

"Yes and you won't get that until tonight," April said.

"But I already had plans tonight," Jackson said.

"Have you?" April asked.

"Yeah, for the two of us to go out to dinner," Jackson lied.

"Really?" April asked.

"Yes, a special Valentine's Day dinner," Jackson lied.

"Jackson, that is so sweet of you," April said.

"I want to make our first Valentine's Day special," Jackson said.

"As long as we're together that's good enough for me," April said.

"And we will, this is gonna be a perfect night," Jackson said.

"And where are we going?" April asked.

"That's still a surprise," Jackson said.

Jackson saw the big, sweet smile on April's face and felt guilty for lying.

"An hour later, Jackson and April were at the hospital. Jackson was standing at reception and working on his phone; Alex walked up to him.

"It's Valentine's Day today," Jackson said.

"I know, what's the problem?" Alex asked.

"April made me breakfast, her chocolate chip pancakes," Jackson said.

"Those delicious."

"I know."

"What's the big deal?"

"I forgot that today is Valentine's Day," Jackson said.

"Ah, I get the problem," Alex said.

"April made me a special breakfast and that's not all she has for me apparently," Jackson said.

"And what are you going to do for her?" Alex asked.

"I promised her we'd go out to dinner, so I'll try to make a reservation at the best restaurant I can find," Jackson said.

"And how's that going?" Alex said.

"Not good, all the good restaurants don't have places anymore," Jackson said.

"You bought her something, right?" Alex asked.

"No, I've got nothing for her," Jackson said. "April loves Valentine's Day, she finds it a special day."

"Kepner thinks all holidays are special," Alex said.

"This is our first Valentine's Day together, she's looking forward to it a lot and I have nothing," Jackson said. "What am I gonna do?"

"I might know someone who can help you," Alex said.

"Who?" Jackson asked.

Alex said nothing and started walking and Jackson followed him. The two men went to the peds department and walked toward Arizona.

"Hi guys."

"Hey."

"I just talked to April she's really looking forward to tonight, your first Valentine's Day together," Arizona said.

"Yeah, talked about that," Jackson said.

"You have to cancel?" Arizona asked.

"No, I don't, it's a little different," Jackson said.

"He forgot that today is Valentine's Day," Alex said.

"You forgot?" Arizona asked.

"Yes, I forgot," Jackson said.

"So you didn't make reservations at a restaurant?" Arizona asked.

"No," Jackson said.

"At least you bought her something?" Arizona said.

Jackson shook his head. "Nothing."

"And that's why he's here now, you're Kepner's best friend so maybe you know what Avery can do to make sure he doesn't ruin Valentine's Day for her," Alex said.

"Do you really have to put it that way?" Jackson asked.

"Sorry," Alex said.

"Jackson it's not okay that you lied to her," Arizona said.

"I know," Jackson said. "Can you help me think of something I can do or buy her."

"You don't have to buy her an expensive necklace or bracelet, as long as you put your heart in the gift that is something that makes April happy," Arizona said.

"I can do that," Jackson said.

"And as for that dinner, as long as you are together that is the most important thing for April, what you eat or where it is that won't matter to her at all," Arizona said.

"Thank you, Arizona," Jackson said.

"You're welcome," Arizona said.

"So do you have any idea what you're gonna do for April now?" Alex asked.

"Yes, I have an idea," Jackson said.

A few hours later. April came home and saw there were all rose petals on the floor.

"What is this?"

"This is for you."

"You did this for me?"

Jackson nodded his head. "Yes, I have to tell you something."

"What is it?" April asked.

"I forgot that today is Valentine's Day and I don't have any reservations at a restaurant," Jackson said.

"You lied to me?" April asked.

"I'm sorry April," Jackson said.

"Jackson, you know I don't care if we go to some fancy restaurant," April said.

I know, Jackson said. But you deserve it I know you love Valentine's Day and you deserve a super romantic evening.

April gave Jackson a kiss on his nose. "As long as we're together I'm happy, that's the most important thing to me."

"And this not a dinner in a restaurant but it will be a dinner for two," Jackson said.

Jackson walked over to the table and took the pizza box from it, he opened the box and inside was a pizza in the shape of a heart. April started to chuckle a little.

"And this isn't all," Jackson said.

"You have more?" April asked.

"Later we are going to watch a movie of your choice," Jackson said.

"I can pick any movie I want?" April asked.

"Yes," Jackson said. "And I also got you your favorite ice cream."

"That's sweet of you," April said, she gave Jackson a kiss. I'll be right back.

April walked toward the bedroom; a few seconds later she returned with a present in her hands.

"This is for you," April said as she handed Jackson the present.

"What is it?" Jackson asked.

"Just open it", April said.

Jackson opened April's present and it was a shower gel gift set.

"This is my favorite brand, thank you," Jackson said.

"You're welcome," April said.

"I managed to buy you something small for you," Jackson said, he grabbes his present for April and gave it to her. "Here you go."

April opened the gift and it was a book.

"I really wanted this one," April said.

"I know, that's something I do remember," Jackson said.

Jackson and April smiled at each other and kissed.

"Happy Valentine's Day."

"Happy Valentine's Day."
