I Was Made For Lovin' You

"I have one last thing to say.Some of you may run into Arizona Robbins today.It's her first day back.So if you see her,just make her feel welcome." Owen tells all the attending's.

"Or maybe...Maybe just don't make a big deal at all.It might be better." Callie tells them as Owen nods his head.

"Noted. Thank you.Hold on. I just want to
address one more thing.Most of you are aware
that a group of our doctors have filed a lawsuit against our hospital." Owen says as the survivors of the crash share a look as Jackson wraps his arms around Ava's waist.

"Some of you may be wondering what this all means and how it's gonna affect our staff.I'd like to be clear.It doesn't... At all.Let's just let the lawyers worry about that.That's their job.
Our job is to continue to work together and support each other in giving the great standard of care that we have always given.Let's not let something like this get in the way of that.Thank you." Owen says as they all go back to work.

Ava was filing out patient files beside April as they heard Bailey on the phone as they all look at her.

"He wants to have a Christmas wedding...In a rustic mountain lodge with red ribbons and mistletoe and a tree with ornaments made of our photos." Bailey exclaims to the three of them.

"That sounds beautiful." April says as Ava looks her.

"No, it's stupid." Bailey says as Ava nods her head in agreement.

"She's right Christmas weddings they're just so extra." Ava says as Richard and April look at her.

"Your having a Christmas wedding?" April says to her friend.

"No mines a rustic winter wedding." Ava says smiling at April.

"What kind of self-respecting man cares this much about a wedding?" Bailey asks them.

"Jackson does" Ava says to Bailey.

"I did." Richard says at the same time as Ava.

"Yeah, but I did the wedding thing before. I'm gonna make all those people who showed up the first time sit through another ceremony
because, maybe I'll mean it this time?You were there with Adele.You got me a set of ramekins." Bailey says to Richard.

"And I'd be happy to get you another set." Richard says as Bailey rolls her eyes.

"I want to get married in a field with wildflowers everywhere and butterflies that are
released when I say "I do." And I want to have these little mints that say "mint to be."You get it?'Cause they're mints..." April tells them her dream wedding.

"There will be no mints.We're going to the courthouse,have a little cocktail party after." Bailey says to them all.

"Yeah, we'll see about that.A man who puts down a deposit is a man who means business."Richard says to Bailey.

"Well, he has till the 12th to get his money back.That's two days.He'd need two years to get me to agree to a wedding with Santa Claus running around." Bailey says as they laugh.

"Wait. Today's the 10th?" April asks Ava.

"Yep. April I'm getting married in four days how can you not know what day it is speaking of you have a dressing fitting tomorrow and I need to go find Derek." Ava says as she goes to find her brother.
-
Ava sees Derek walking down the corridor as she hurries to catch up with him. "Hey how did it go with Callie?" Ava says to him.

"We still haven't figured anything out yet." Derek tells his sister.

"But you will. Anyway I need to ask you something?" Ava says to her brother as he looks at her.

"Sure what's up?" Derek asks her.

"I would like you to walk me down the aisle would you?" Ava asks him with a hopeful look on her face.

A smiles grows on Dereks face. "Nothing would make me prouder then giving you away." Derek says as he hugs her as she hugs him back.

"Thank you." She says as her pager goes off as she goes to the E.R.
-
Ava walks into the E.R as she's sees April signalling for her to come over as she does as they walk into one of the rooms.

"Hey everything okay?" Ava asks April as she paces.

"Have you and Jackson I don't know ever had a pregnancy scare?" April asks Ava.

"I can't say we have why are you pregnant?" Ava exclaims to April as she doesn't look at her.

"I don't know maybe I tried to page Mason but he's in surgery. How could I be so stupid?" April says as Ava sits her down.

"Hey just breath okay you don't actually know anything yet." Ava to her.

"Your right I should do a pregnancy test." April says as Ava shakes her head.

"Pregnancy test can be unreliable we'll do a blood test." Ava says to April as she goes to get supplies.
-
Ava walks over to April as she's talking to Meredith.

"I should get back to my patient. Ava text me the details for the dress fitting." Meredith says her sister in law as she nods.

Ava takes April's blood as her eyes glaze over as Ava looks up at her friend.

"Hey whats the matter?" Ava asks her as she hugs her finishing taking her blood.

"What if I have to do this alone? How could I have been so stupid this wasn't the plan. This wasn't how it was supposed to be." April begins to freak out.

"April don't get yourself work up until you know if your pregnant or not this could be a whole misunderstanding so breath okay I'll take these and you can pick them up when you have time but you should talk to Mason he's out of surgery." Ava tells her as she takes up the sample of blood.
-
Ava walks over to her brother. "Why do you keep shooting down Callie's ideas? Are you scared or something?" Ava asks her brother nod understanding.

"Ava I'm not scared I just don't understand the point of this when all it seems to is more harm than good." Derek explains to his sister.

"This could work Derek you could go back to saving lives. You are an amazing surgeon Derek but your also people's hope when they get told the worse news that someone can't do anything then you make the impossible happen now let Callie make the impossible happen." Ava says to him as she walks away.
