Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 133: After The Storm

The next morning after the storm had lifted, i managed to get myself to the board meeting in Mer's room, despite Jackson's demands to stay in bed. I paid Dylan fifty bucks to wheel me to Mer's room. Dylan is holding Catherine while I'm holding George as all the board members plus Bailey stand around waiting for the meeting to start. I steal a few pics of Bailey holding my brother and show them to my dad.

Owen: okay, we should get started. Um, Bailey, we have some board business we need to disc—
Bailey: I'm not going anywhere. Me and this baby got Bailey business to discuss. Don't we? Yes, Mr. Derek Bailey Shepherd.

I chuckle at my former mentor as she walks off.

Arizona: what does Zola think of him?
Meredith: oh, she wants to take him to day care for show and tell.
Arizona: what does Zola think of George and Catherine?
Delilah: she loves them.
Dad: where's Richard?
Delilah: yeah, I was about to ask the same thing.
Owen: I paged all the board members.
Dad: oh, Avery should be here too.
Delilah: yeah, well, my dumb husband and Hudson were busy being stupid freakin' heroes last night. They dislocated their shoulders saving a couple kids from the bus crash.
Meredith: what bus crash?

Everyone looks at Mer confused.

Delilah: she had a baby and a major surgery. She doesn't know things.
Cristina: took the words out of my mouth Shep.
Meredith: so tell me.
Dad: a church was evacuating some people, and their bud overturned.
Owen: the good news is everyone survived, and there are no major injuries.
Arizona: and the bad news?
Owen: everything else. The blood bank is flooded, and the ER looks like it was ransacked.
Der&Del: so we need to close the ER?
Owen: we're dangerously low on meds. Personnel can't make it in due to the flooding.
Cristina: so we need to close the ER.
Ari&D: can we do that?
Owen: you are the board. I am telling you, that ER cannot open today.
Meredith: what do we need?
Delilah: yeah, Mer and I can try to coordinate with the suppliers.

Everyone stares at us like we're crazy.

M&D: I had [twins] a baby. I'm not dead.
Owen: if they have it, we want it. In the meantime, let's make sure that our inpatients are taken care of and discharge who we can.
Meredith: like me.
Delilah: absolutely not Meredith Grey. Your ass is staying in that bed.
Dad: she's right. You just had a major abdominal surgery. You're gonna stay right here.
Delilah: if anything, I'll get to be discharged.
Dad: not a chance. You just had twins. You're staying little missy.

I roll my eyes at my dad as Jackson jogs into the room.

Jackson: alright, airport's just reopened. I just... what's my wife doing out of bed? Dylan, I told you to keep her in bed.
Dylan: sorry bro, your wife is hella scary.

I smirk at Dylan then mischievously wink at Jackson.

Jackson: I'm not gonna even argue. Anyways, I just put Dr. Boswell in a cab.
Cristina: who's Dr. Boswell?
Callie: ... she's the one Arizona slept with last night.

My eyes grow wide as Callie storms out of the room.

-later-

I'm still in Mer's room sitting close to her bed with the twins sleeping in their little glass bed next to my brother Bailey in the corner. Since I can't be a freakin' surgeon, I have no choice but to be anywhere except an OR. Cristina was sitting on Mer's bed and she starts talking about Owen.

Cristina: Owen and I... oh, you know, I don't even know what to call it. Ended it? Broke up? I feel like I'm gonna die.
Meredith: you always end it...
M&D: and then you start it again.
Cristina: yeah, but this is different.
Meredith: okay.
Cristina: oh, I'm gonna go to sleep. Oh, just for, like, 20 minutes.
Meredith: okay.
Cristina: oh, Robbins cheating on Callie? Oh! Did not see that coming.
Meredith: I know!
Delilah: if I see Robbins at all today, I'm gonna ring her neck.
Cristina: and Bailey is a good name. But two Baileys? You don't think it's gonna be confusing?
Meredith: no, because... if I say, "Bailey peed on me", I think it's safe to assume that I'm talking about my son.
Cristina: very good. And what about you Shep?
Delilah: I call Jackson's mom "mom" so it'll be the same thing that if I said, "Catherine puked on me", it'll be safe to assume that I'm talking about my daughter.
Cristina: good. Seriously, wake me in 20?
Meredith: okay.
Cristina: thank you.
