With You I'm Home

I knew you could do it

12x06 Japril

"Because I knew you could do it," April said softly.

Jackson slightly smiled, "okay, we did it. Just, thank you." Jackson and April looked at each other, they're eyes locked. April took a step forward and he knew instantly what was going to happen next. He opened his arms and took April up in them.

She rested her head on his chest and took a deep breath, it felt nice, it felt right to have his arms around her again.

She closed her eyes and smiled as he quickly but gently stroked her hair. He slightly lingered and then rested his hand on her back.

She started to pull back and he slid both hands to her shoulders. They were looking at each other, their heads both slightly tilted forwards.

They stood in silence for a moment then April whispered cautiously, "do you wanna go home, and talk?"

Jackson slid his hand down her arms and grabbed her hands, "let's do that." He whispered not caring whether he was being completely stupid or making the best decision of his life. She smiled and he took a step forward and she turned around they walked side by side down the hall, they walked to the attendings lounge and he quickly changed.

As they stood in the elevator Jackson slowly reached his hand over and took Aprils in his. He intertwined their fingers, April looked down at their hands and smiled.

The elevator stopped, the doors opened and they walked out. Jackson lead April to where he parked his car and they got in. The car started and they started the drive home.

Once they got to their apartment April put her bag and jacket on the couch. Jackson put his jacket on top of hers. Jackson stepped towards his wife and grabbed her hand.

April started slowly, "so, is this you willing to try again? Because Jackson, I love you and I miss you so much. We're Jackson and April, this can't be the end of us." April took a deep breath and looked into his eyes.

"We've been through a lot, but April through all of it, I've never stopped loving you," Jackson said. April looked down tears building in her eyes. "Even when I really think it would be best if I stopped, April you're the only one  supposed to be with."

April looked up again tear stains down her cheeks, "so? You're giving us another shot?" She asked hopeful.

Jackson nodded, "yes, yes of course." April smiled and stepped toward him, he opened his arms she wrapped her arms around his waist. Jackson tilted his head and kissed her temple.

They stood like that for a minute then Jackson pulled away, he placed one hand on the side of her neck and the other on her side. He leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers. She rested her hands on his waist and grabbed the material of his shirt.

He gently pulled away for a minute scanning her face. He ran his thumbs over the soft skin under her eyes wiping the tears that were still there. He kissed her forehead, then gently moved down and kissed the tip of her nose and to finish it off he captured her lips.

Jackson placed both hands on her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled her body close to his and he tugged at the bottom of her shirt. She felt his warm hands slide up her stomach under her shirt. She smiled at feeling the sensation again.

Their lips parted momentarily and her shirt found the floor, then his. He lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He carried her to their bedroom and laid her down.

April woke up early, well before Jackson, well before she should probably be awake. She looked at the alarm clock on his night stand, 3:12. She looked her her sleeping husband and smiled. She placed a hand on his head and stroked his temple with her thumb. She grabbed his hand and gently kissed it.

She then slid closer to his, well it was usually her, side of the bed and placed her hand on his chest. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

She doesn't remember when she fell asleep again, but when she woke up again Jackson had his arms wrapped around and he was stroking her shoulder with his thumb. She opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"Good morning," she said quietly. He smiled and kissed her cheek.

"Good morning, beautiful." April went on her side then as did Jackson. She placed her hand on his cheek and gently kissed him.

April opened her eyes and got a glimpse of the closet that was behind Jackson, "oh yeah. Did you actually get the hotel? Or is your stuff still at Baileys?"

"It's just at Baileys," he said.

April nodded, "okay, do you wanna get that before, or after work? Because you only have the clothes you came here in."

Jackson nodded, "yeah, well right now all I want to do is this." He said pulling her closer again and pressing his lips to hers. "And this." He said pulled away from her mouth dipping to her neck.

"Well I'm not complaining," she smiled tilting her head giving him more room. "Okay babe, come one we should get up. Then get your clothes at Baileys."

He pulled away from her neck and April stood up, "I'm gonna take a shower."

Jackson stood up, "wow, I have to too." He said sliding closer to where she was standing.

She smiled and playfully rolled her eyes, "but you have to grab your stuff from..." April started her voice trailing off. She rested her hand on Jackson's bare chest. He gave her 'the look' and April grabbed her bottom lip between her teeth.

Jackson licked his lips and April sighed, "screw it. We'll get your clothes after work." She wrapped her arms around his neck and claimed his lips in hers.

Okay, let's hope for some good Japril scenes this week haha.
