Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 13:

I've been sleeping at the hospital for three days straight now, not leaving Cristina for one second. For the last three days, I've been sleeping either next to Cristina in her bed or in a chair right next to her bed. Her mother was contacted and has been seeing her every day for most of the day. I met her and she's very much like Cristina but a little bit more tense. I didn't hate her but I was a little bit intimidated by her, but that didn't stop me from being by Cristina's side. I'm currently sitting in a chair by Cristina's bed reading an article while Cristina complains about wanting to go back to work since her mom was getting herself something to drink.

Cristina: come on baby Shepherd, I have to get back to work. I'll be fine!
Delilah: no Cristina. You need to heal more.
Cristina: come on D, convince Bailey to let me get back to work. Use your Shepherd charm and get me back to work please.
Delilah: not happening Crissy. Stop complaining or else I will restrain your ass to that bed and make sure you never leave. Am I clear?

Cristina pouts then leans back into her bed.

Cristina: I hate you.
Delilah: that's a lie and you know it. You said it yourself Cris, I'm too lovable to hate.
Cristina: damn it, I hate that you're right.
Delilah: Cristina, you know that I'm just looking out for you. You're my best friend, it's my job to take care of you.
Cristina: I don't need another mom.

I chuckle at my pouty best friend as I continue to read. I give Cristina's mother a smile as she comes back into the room then I get a text from George.

Text from: Georgie-kins <3
Locker room.

Text to: Georgie-kins <3
Kk, be there in a sec <3

Delilah: I gotta go change for rounds. I'll see you later, okay? And no more complaining.

I kiss Cristina on the forehead then rush to the locker room where all my friends are.

Delilah: hey guys.
George: how much sleep did you get last night?
Delilah: a few hours. I kept waking up to make sure Cristina was okay.

George hands me a bagel and a large cup of coffee.

George: you need this.
Delilah: oh my god, you are my dream George O'Malley. Marry me please.

George chuckles at me then kisses my forehead as I drink my coffee.

George: how is she?
Delilah: she seems to be doing okay, but she keeps complaining about wanting to get back to work. I told her to shut it or else I'd restrain her to her bed and never let her leave.
George: yep, sounds like you.

I change into my scrubs then quickly finish my food then we start rounds with Bailey.

Bailey: I want everyone focused today. With Cristina out, we're short an intern and I have a feeling it's gonna be one of those days. And Karev, see the Chief by the end of the day.
Alex: what for?
Bailey: do I look psychic to you? He is the Chief. He asked, you go.

Meredith leans towards George and I.

Meredith: what did he do now?
Delilah: this is Alex we're talking about. Doesn't matter what he did, I won't be surprised either way.
George: maybe he gave the Chief syphilis.

I playfully hit George in the arm then I lean into him and George wraps his arm around my waist as we walk into a patient's room. We see doctors and nurses surrounding the patient and I hear the patient telling a story.

Kalpana: they all look at me. They're yelling, "you're a doctor, help him!". This is the one time a PhD does no good.
Bailey: I'm sorry, did I miss the bell for social hour?
