Ivy gets off the elevator and finds Jackson there, "Hey."

"Hey. Did you go home? I must have missed you," he asks, wrapping an arm around her.

"Yeah, April and I had a 14 year old GSW. It was so bloody and awesome but I felt nasty after surgery, so I went home to change," she tells him, taking his coffee and having a sip.

"Cool news about Yang, though, huh?" Jackson asks, taking his coffee back.

She nods, "Yeah, it's awesome. You really didn't know?"

He smiles down at her, "I'm telling you, the nominating committee is totally separate from the foundation. I'm just like everybody else."

Ivy giggles, "Yes, except way handsomer and you have an awesome wife and children."

Jackson kisses her as they make their way to the attendings lounge. Ivy starts to change into her scrubs, revealing the bikini that she had to wear, "Is that a bikini?"

"Yes, I ran out of clean underwear and haven't had a chance to do laundry," she nods.

"Which is why you send it out," he tells her.

"Jackson, we have a perfectly good washing machine at the house," Ivy argues.

He sits down, "Says the doctor in a bikini."

Ivy puts a hand on her hip, "Are you saying you don't like me in a bikini?" Jackson is smart enough to not answer, "Besides, paying someone to do your laundry is an extravagance. How much did that coffee cost?"

"Uh, four bucks."

She puts her scrub top on, "So that's like, what, six-six a week? That's like-give me a second. Like $1,000 a year you're just throwing away."

He argues, "Its not like I'm spending it on hookers or private planes. It's a latte."

Ivy points at him, "You spend any money on a hooker and you better hope there is an apartment available for you. You know what, I'm gonna get you one of those milk-frothy things. I'm gonna teach you how to make your own latte. Oh, by the way, the twins threw up on their blankets this morning so those need to be washed too."

"Will you teach me in that bikini?" Jackson starts trying to lift her scrub top.

"Stop," she giggles, not sounding threatening at all.

"I don't think I will," Jackson kisses her.

Ivy stands with the rest of the hospital, holding a flute of sparking apple cider as Cristina walks through the doors, "Suprise! Congratulations!"

After the celebration, Ivy walks by the residents as she hears Edwards shout, "Swap monkey. Enjoy working with Dr. Bailey."

She clears her throat, getting their attention, "You know, Dr. Bailey is a genius. We may have our differences from time to time but if anyone can figure out what's going on with Braden Morris, it's her. If I were a resident, I would fight, tooth and nail, to be on her service. But, then again, none of you seem to have the same drive that I did. The drive that made me chief resident, the resident every attending wanted, as well as a double board certified surgeon. Man, I miss seeing that drive in a resident. Oh, well."

As she walks away, she hears the residents fighting behind her. Ivy laughs before it turns into a coughing fit, "I swear to God Jackson Avery, if you got me sick."
