Everything Has Changed ❤️ {Jackson Avery}

Fifty Three

I'm walking through the airport to the arrival gate, and I smile when I see my daughter and Jackson waiting for me.

Natalie: welcome back!

Natalie pulls me into a hug.

Natalie: how was New York?

Savannah: it was awesome! Derek really pulled through for me. He let me stay at his mother's house, and the interview was great.

Jackson: hi, baby.

Savannah: hey, babe.

I wrap my arms around Jackson and pull him into a kiss.

Savannah: I missed you.

Jackson: I missed you more.

Natalie: guys, I love that you guys are happy and all, but the PDA in front of the daughter is gross.

I chuckle at my daughter as I throw my arm around her shoulders.

Savannah: you should get to school, you don't want to miss the college fair. Jackson and I are heading to the hospital.

Natalie: see you later. Love you!

Natalie hugs us then runs off while Jackson and I head to the hospital. I separate from Jackson to go to my office, only to be greeted with multiple gift baskets. I've had back-to-back interviews for fellowships for multiple hospitals, and I feel so proud of myself.

I look at the most recently sent baskets that came from UCLA and Hopkins. I pick it up and take them with me to the lounge where everyone was.

Alex: oh, come on. First Cristina gets one from the NIH, now you get two?

Jackson: who are they from, babygirl?

Savannah: UCLA and Hopkins.

April: didn't you just have your interview in New York?

Savannah: mhmm. And a nurse approached me on the way here with a basket, also from the NIH, as I was coming here. Normally the NIH doesn't beg residents to work for them, but when you're as awesome as me, it isn't hard to get them on their knees.

Jackson: my incredibly badass girlfriend is the golden snitch of residents.

I look up at Jackson and smile at him.

Savannah: you're so sexy when you make Harry Potter references.

Jackson: only for you, pretty girl.

I chuckle at Jackson as he kisses my neck. I see Alex walk in and he steals a cookie from Cristina's basket.

Cristina: hey!

Alex: cookie's stale. You got a basket too, Sav?

Savannah: obviously.

Jackson: of course my hot girlfriend got one. She's awesome.

I chuckle at Jackson as I give him a kiss.

Savannah: paws off my basket, Karev.

Cristina: aww, Karev. Is this hard for you, having to beg for interviews while some of us just sit back and get wooed?

I chuckle as Jackson steals a cookie from my basket.

Savannah: baby!

Jackson: boyfriend tax.

I roll my eyes at my boyfriend.

Alex: no one is begging.

April: oh, yeah, maybe you should. Maybe that way, you'd actually get an interview.
