Phoebe awoke in an unfamiliar bed with an all too familiar arm weighing on her waist. She basked in the warm comfort of Jackson's bed as she turned into his chest to savour their last few moments of serenity. Jackson lifted his arm to let her move before he wrapped it back around her waist even tighter to bring her closer.
"Morning." He rasped with a tender smile as his eyes remained closed.
"Good morning." Phoebe greeted, her smile evident in her voice as she squinted up at Jackson.
He peaked an eye open and caught her gaze as they bashfully smiled at one another.
"This is so strange. I can't believe I'm in your bed." Phoebe expressed as she played with Jackson's hand that wasn't resting on her back.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Jackson laughed out light heartedly.
"You know what I mean." She rolled her eyes before trying to explain. "Not in a bad way. Just different but an amazing different."
"Who knew Charles was the brains of this operation."
"I didn't know he was so in touch with his own emotions, let alone ours." Phoebe added as she let out a laugh and shook her head, enjoying spending her time with someone who understood her wholeheartedly.
With a glance at the time they agreed it was time to get up and ready for the day. Phoebe dressed in a large shirt of Jackson's, finding her dress from last night uncomfortable, and Jackson simply dressed in some pyjama bottoms. The pair were laughing to each other as they left his room and made their way towards the kitchen. Too wrapped up in their own conversation they didn't notice the doctor filled kitchen until a smug cough broke through their conversation.
Phoebe looked to the kitchen seeing it filled with their friends before she looked to Jackson. "I forgot you lived with the whole hospital staff."
She then faced their friends with a tight smile, suddenly feeling like the shirt she wore was too short. Jackson also wore an uncomfortable smile as he ushered Phoebe into the kitchen. He quickly moved to the cupboards to grab some bowls and cereal as Phoebe went towards Meredith who stood by the coffee.
"Want some?" Meredith asked with a kind smile sensing Phoebe's discomfort.
"Please." Phoebe replied and gently took the mug extended to her.
She met Meredith's eyes and the woman was looking at her was a raised brow. Phoebe let out a small laugh and shook her head. Jackson looked to Phoebe after hearing her laugh and let out a relieved breath, seeing her so uncomfortable had him worried that she was beginning to have regrets once faced by their friends.
Alex watched the situation with a smug grin before clearing his throat. "So how did you two like the wedding?"
