Everything Has Changed ❤️ {Jackson Avery}

Jackson and I are on our way to work talking about April and Jeremy's divorce.

Savannah: Jeremy text you?

Jackson: yeah, he did. April text you?

Savannah: yeah. She's been so upset since they signed the papers. I feel awful. I mean, they're both our best friends. Our family. It sucks.

Jackson: I know, sweetheart.

Jackson takes my hand and kisses my knuckles.

Savannah: that'll never be us, right?

Jackson: no. That will never be us. I love you so much. You can't get rid of me that easily.

Savannah: wouldn't want it any other way, babe.

-later-

I'm on my way to the ER, and I squeal as I felt someone grab my arm and drag me into an empty trauma room. I look up and see April staring at me.

Savannah: a simple hello would've been nice.

April: I'm pregnant!

My eyes grow wide.

Savannah: woah. What?

April: I-I'm pregnant. 9 weeks.

Savannah: oh my god. April, oh my god! Sweetie, that's amazing!

I pull April into a hug. The hug lasts about two seconds then I pull away.

Savannah: wait. 9 weeks? That means...

I look at April in shock.

Savannah: April Kepner, you and Jeremy had sex before the divorced was finalized?!

April: what am I supposed to do?!

Savannah: April, you have to tell him!

April: you really think a baby is gonna bring him back to me? A baby isn't going to change things, Savannah.

Savannah: April, this is Jeremy's child too. He deserves to know.

April: you can't say anything until I do!

Savannah: April—

April: you're my best friend, so you can't say anything.

Savannah: you seriously expect me to keep this secret from Jeremy? He's my best friend—

April: you were my best friend first. If you were pregnant with Jackson's baby—

Savannah: I am—

April: and you just got divorced, I would do the same for you.

Savannah: April, you have to tell him, or else he's going to find out too late or someone else will tell him. He deserves the truth.

April: I know. I'm sorry for getting upset with you. I will tell him. I just... I don't know I'm supposed to.

Savannah: you'll figure it out, sweetie. Come here.

I pull April into a hug and kiss her forehead.

Savannah: I'm very happy for you, sweetie. I know this is happening at the worst timing, but it's happening. I'm happy for you.

April: thank you. I was hoping you and Jackson would be the godparents? I mean, you were supposed to be Samuel's godparents. And I know that Jeremy would agree when he finds out.

Savannah: of course, honey. Take it one step at a time, hon.

I kiss April on the cheek then we walk out to the nurses desk in the ER. I start working on charts next to Arizona while April was on the phone.
