Season 7, Episode 4- Can't Fight Biology

Annabella's POV

We were all in the bathroom doing various things to get ready and it was hectic.

April was brushing her hair, Alex was brushing his teeth, Lexie was moisturising her face, Jackson was in the shower and I was shaving my legs.

"Towel," Jackson asks as he pushes the door open slightly.

I stupidly turn around slightly and stare at him as April hands him a towel knocking me slightly, cutting my leg.

"Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry," April repeats.

"Yeah, it's fine," I say turning back.

I was walking with Lexie around the hospital.

"How long are they planning to stay?" she asks me.

"Who?" I ask turning towards her.

"your boyfriend and April," she says.

"I don't know about April but Jackson's staying a while," I say.

"A while? Thats vague," Lexie says.

"He's staying until we move out together so a while," I say.

"I don't care about Jackson staying, he's not the issue. April is the issue," she says as we approach Meredith and Cristina.

"Hey, do you know how long Jackson and April are planning to stay at the house?" Lexie asks Meredith.

"As long as they like, why?" Meredith asks.

Good point

"Well, April's taken over Izzie's room which was fine when it was temporary but I live in the attic. And I sleep next to Christmas ornaments," Lexie complains.

"April's best friend just died, she's all alone," Meredith says.

"According to Jackson, Reed was the only friend April had but Reed never really hung out with her more with Charles and him but defended her," I say.

"Whatever, I'm not evil. I just find her annoying,"
Lexie states.

"Well I find you much more annoying," Cristina says.

At that moment, April runs past us yelling about traumas.

"I'm not wrong," Lexie says.

"Pretty annoying. You coming?" Meredith says before asking Cristina as we start walking.

"Baby steps don't include multiple traumas. You go kill it!" Cristina adds.

Jackson's POV

I was hanging out with Alex of all people.

"Who you on?" Alex asks.

"Altman," I say.

"Yeah, and my residents Avery," I hear as Alex and I look up.

It's Teddy and Arizona

"He still knocking over trays in the OR?" Arizona asks.

That happened once

"Yes and scribbling patient orders in his third-grade scrawl and paging me in the middle of the night for patients that are no where near dying," She laughs.

Great, attendings are shit talking me

"At least he's nice to look at," Arizona says.

You got to be kidding me

"True," Teddy agrees.

I hate this so much

"You just called a dumb blonde," Alex laughs as I glare at him and walk away.

Annabella's POV

"Hey, Belle!" Jackson yells.

"Hey," I say spinning around.

"Do you care if I flirt my way into surgery?" he asks.

"What?" I ask.

"Do you care?" he asks.

"No as long as it's just looks and smiles," I say.

"So is that a yes?" he asks.

"Yes? Why?" I asks confused.

"I want to make sure you're ok with it before I do it," he said giving me a quick kiss before walking away.

"Don't get into trouble!" I yell after him.

***

"Callie!" I yell running up to her.

"Hey, I have this patient and I have post-ops and pre-ops. What do you wanna do?" She asks.

"I can do your post-ops and pre-ops it's fine," I say with a smile.

"You sure? You can have this patient," she said.

"Nah, if I do your pre-ops, they can become my patients. Then I have to scrub in!" I say with a smirk walking away making her laugh.

***

"Hey, Lex, Cristina, Mer, April," I say walking over to them.

"Hey," They all say in return.

"Altman fire you yet?" Alex asks as him and Jackson walk over.

"She's not gonna fire me," Jackson says annoyed as I put my hand on his thigh.

"What you do?" I ask.

"She thinks he's a hot piece of brainless ass," Alex retorts.

"Oh, your totally getting fired," Cristina laughs.

"The situation is under control," Jackson says.

***

"Hey," I say seeing Jackson in the residents lounge as Teddy was walking out.

"Remind me to never do that again," he says clearly upset or annoyed.

"Do what?" I ask confused.

"Flirt my way into surgery," he replies dully sitting down on the bench.

I go and sit next to him while taking his hand in mine.

"Jackson, people see you for your name and your looks, that's all they see, right? You are so much more than that, not only that you are incredibly smart. You flirting your way into surgery feeds into the idea that you're just a pretty face, Jacks," I say.

"I know, i know, ugh I'm stupid," he says annoyed.

"No you're not, come on let's go home," I say letting him take my hand as we get ready to leave.
