Chapter 10

We've been chatting lately, he asked me for my number on one of my hang out nights and I gave it to him. After that night, we text a lot and occasionally talk on the phone. He's trying and I don't know what exactly he's trying to do. I've heard he has a reputation as a ladies man and I'm not trying to be a toy for anyone.

Tonight just so happens to be one of the hangout nights. I've already got everything planned, Jo is getting ready here with me. While I took the rest of my clothes and accessories out I received a phone call that threw a bit of a wrench in my plans.

"Hey, where are you? Kat is waiting for you to come get her." I told Jackson.

"Yeah, about that . . ."

"Don't tell me you're not coming?" I asked him.

"I won't miss out on a weekend with her but I have an emergency surgery. Can you bring her to the hospital? Mom will take her home and then I'll get her." he offered.

"Um, yeah, that works. Is everything okay, you sound distracted?"

"You're going out again tonight?" he asked me.

"Jackson, does it bother you that I'm hanging out with the interns or that I'm hanging out with Karev?"

"I don't know yet." he admitted.

"You realize that you have no right to be bothered or jealous, right?" I asked, laughing at him.

"I can't help it, you're the mother of my child."

"Ever think about what would've happened?" I asked.

"A lot more now, do you think we would've made a good family?" he asked me.

"I don't know, we're too similar in a lot of things. We would've argued . . ."

"Mommy! Mommy, where's daddy?" Kat asked, running into my room.

"Hey baby, I'm talking to daddy right now. I'm gonna take you to the hospital, you're gonna see grandma Cat first and then you'll go home with daddy. Okay?" I told her.

"Okay, is daddy busy?" she asked.

"He has a patient baby but he said he wouldn't miss a weekend with you for the world. Go get your bag."

She ran out of the room shouting like a loon. She absolutely loves her daddy-weekends and hates to miss them.

"You know, it still takes me a second to get used to it." he said.

"The daddy thing?"

"Yeah, I went from a dead baby to daddy in a very short time span."

"Are you okay with that? I mean, I know that you love her Jackson but if you need to cut back on the weekends to get used to it I'll understand. It's a lot for anyone to accept, especially after what you went through."

"Are you kidding me? I'm not cutting back on my weekends, nothing makes me happier than when I spend time with her."

"Alright, I doubt I'll see you at the hospital but I'll go drop her off. See you around."

It barely took me 20 minutes to drop her off, get Jo and come back home. We were sort of rolling with the matching looks; Jo was wearing a black off the shoulder, long sleeve dress. I wore a black, backless halter with a burgundy leather mini skirt and black thigh-high boots. We looked badass if I do say so myself.

Deluca, who Jo was seeing, showed up with a few of the interns and it was party time. We found a night club that's always full and party-ready on the weekends and it's our new place. If we just want a drink or to blow off some steam we go to Joe's Bar, when we want to party we come here.
