Season 6, Episode 13- State of Love and Trust

Annabella's POV

I was walking with Lexie and Alex when I felt a slap on my ass. I turn around and see Jackson smirking. Charles and Reed soon join him and the six of us walk towards the nurse's station.

"Any of you know what this meeting's all about?" Jackson asks.

"I heard there was a coup. Webber's out. Shepherd's in," Charles says.

Jackson wasn't kidding when he said they gossiped.

"Is that true?" Reed asks looking at him.

"We know what you know," Lexie comments.

"Bullshit. All right? Your sister's married to the guy. You expect me to believe you don't know what's going on?" Jackson states.

"Don't you have your own loser friends to talk to?" Alex comments making me hit his arm.

"I also heard Shepherd plans to clean house," Charles adds.

"Maybe he'll start with you," Jackson adds.

"Dude, I'm safe. The guy's my roommate. You're the ones who should watch your backs," Alex comments.

"Why? What do you know?" Reed questions.

"Simple math- Shepherd hates the merger, you're from Mercy west. You're toast," Alex laughs making me hit his arm.

"Derek's not going to fire people, just because they're from Mercy West. He's not like that. He's loyal and fair," Lexie says.

"Tell that to Richard," I say as we join the crowd.

Derek starts his speech with Alex making comments throughout.

"Here it comes."

"He's talking about the merger."

"Shh!" Me and Lexie say at the same time.

***

"Told you."

***

"We're fucked," Jackson says.

"See, you are. Sucker," Alex grins.

"You're not," I tell Jackson giving him a supportive smile.

"Check it out, Chief Webber," Reed says making almost everyone turn.

It throws Derek off and he stutters as he finishes.

Arizona started clapping making everyone start clapping.

Jackson's POV

"Avery, I need you to round up my charts and bring them to room 22-14," Teddy calls out.

"Oh, Yang usually comes in early to do that. I'm sure," I start but she cuts me off.

"Yang's not on my service today, you are," she snaps.

Arizona comes over and starts talking to Alex.

Saying something about him being the future of peds.

"What did she say?" Alex says annoyed.

"That you're the best babysitter in the hospital," I tease.

"Shut up!" He snaps.

Arizona says something about me not think peds is hard-core.

"Don't let the roller skates fool you. Peds is nothing but hard core. Rounds in ten," she says before skating off.

"Who's the sucker now?" I say to Alex smirking before walking away.

***

I walk over to Teddy and Owen with her charts.

"Dr. Altman, I pulled everything you asked. It's all here in numerical order according to room number," I say.

"Numerical order?" She asks.

Shit

"Was that not how-" I start.

"It's fine. Yang usually orders them according to priority. Most urgent to least urgent  but it's fine. It'll work, follow me," she says.

Well if you wanted it done that way either tell me to do it that way or get Christina to do it.

Annabella's POV

"Hey," I say as Jackson comes into the on call room.

"Hey," he says laying his head on my lap.

"You ok?" I ask.

"Altman's been annoyed at me all day because I'm not Christina Yang," he says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"I'm always on her service but usually Christina is as well. Teddy teaches Christina and no one else and now she's annoyed that I don't do everything the same way," he sulks.

"It's a state of love and trust," I say.

He looks at me confused and i reply, "it's a song, ok?"

He smirks and nods his head slightly.

"I don't even really like cardio, I don't know why I'm on it so much," he complains.

I shrug before leaning down and kissing him gently on the lips.

He sits up, kissing me again.

He lies back pulling me on top of him. I straddle him and we make out for a while until a pager goes off.

"It's mine," he says leaning up.

I move my hair out the way and leave kisses along his jawline and neck.

"mmh, as much as I love this, I have to go," he says.

I sign and get off of him.

He kisses me on the lips before picking up his lab coat and leaving.

God I loved this but I wish we were more.
