A Change Is Going To Come

Chapter 6

April slipped into her lab coat. Jackson waited at the door, making sure she is okay to work. Owen has agreed that April could take a maternity leave but she wanted to continue until she really can't anymore. Even if her hormones make her too emotional at times, she tries to take in patients as much as possible even though her superior subtly keeps her away from the OR when he could. 

"I'm okay, you know." she sensed a pair of eyes staring at her.

"I know," said her husband.

"I think we should start thinking of names for our son."

"What do you suggest?" he asked.

The redhead thought for a moment. She cocked her head.

"I wonder how everyone named their child, maybe that could help," April suggested.

They had agreed that they would ask their friends, starting with Dr. Bailey. Jackson has left for his first reconstructive surgery as soon as he kissed April adoringly. Coincidentally, April had to page Bailey for a quick consult in the ER. The redhead waited patiently while she started to check up on another patient's vitals. The shorter doctor waltzed in.

"What do you need me for, Kepner?"

"I have another patient that need to take to the OR right now," she said "but first I need to ask you how you came up with your kid's name. Jackson and I are trying to pick one for the little one."

Bailey snorted. "You really have no clue, do you? If you want to know all about George, go ask Callie."

Dr. Torres finished checking up on her few patients and headed to her orthopedic lab. She sighed as she dropped her things on her desk. Messing up her other files that were spread across it. Arizona came to her mind. Who was she kidding, the blonde was always on her mind. Since the breakup, she had wanted to spend more time with Arizona. She has soon regretted what she said to her in from the counselor. The latina could not believe how she could say those things to the person she loves. A knock on her door interrupted her thoughts.

"Callie, you here?"

"Come in, Kepner!"

April peeked in and closed the door behind her.

"So Bailey said that I should ask you about George?" she continued. "Me and Jackson are trying to find a name for our baby."

"He was there when Bailey gave birth. Like literally, sitting behind her. Honestly, not the best person to ask for naming a kid... Mark and I chose Sofia's name. You should go ask Derek all about Mark! Plus, he has 2 kids," she said.

A beep from her phone got her attention.

"Oh! I gotta run, Kepner! I'll see you later."

Callie grabbed her wallet and headed out the lab, leaving April who groaned and followed. Dr. Torres rushed through the hospital to meet Arizona at the cafeteria. She knew Dr. Herman finished her rounds and that Arizona would be getting her lunch. Might as well make it seem like a coincidence. Callie was mostly curious about her ex's night out.
