"Mummy? Daddy?"

April's eyes fluttered open at the sound. She looked around then spotted blurry figure sitting at the bottom of the bed. She lifted her hands up and rubbed her eyes, then blinked violently to clear her them.

Her eyes widened as she saw Lydia sitting there.

"Oh my god!" she said shocked, pulling the covers over her bear chest

Jackson's eyes quickly shot open. He turned to his side and looked at April, and saw her staring. He followed her eyes and quickly shot up when he saw what, or who, she was staring at.

"Lydia.........what are you doing in here?" Jackson asked groggily nervously

"I woke up, took a shower and got ready for school. I went to the kitchen to wait for breakfast, but you weren't coming, so I came to see if you were ok" she simply said then looked at her mother "What is mummy doing here?"

"Ummm..." Jackson began

"Mummy was very tired last night, so she decided to spend the night here" April quickly answered

"In daddy's bed?" the little girl asked

"Uh yes" April said

Lydia looked to Jackson for confirmation and he quickly nodded.

"Are you guys naked?" she asked noticing her mother trying to cover herself

April's eyes widened

"Uh........" Jackson began but was cut off by a knock on the front door

"Someone's here!" Lydia yelled jumping off the bed running to the door, forgetting all about the question she just asked

April and Jackson looked at each other then quickly jumped out of the bed and began to put their cloths on.

Lydia arrived at the door and opened it.

"Auntie Natalie!" Lydia squealed

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing here? I thought you were supposed to be at your mom's" she asked walking in

"I spent the night here" Lydia smiled

"And where is your mother?"

"She's in the bed naked with daddy" Lydia simply answered

"Oh........" Natalie said with a slight smirk as her eyes widened

Just then April walked out of Jackson's room, going into the living room.

"Natalie........what are you doing here?" she nervously asked as she stopped check her outfit, the same outfit from the night before

"Well, I called your apartment this morning and there was no answer, so I went over there to check on you. I got worried when I didn't get an answer when I knocked, so I was coming over to ask Jackson if he heard from you" Natalie said

"Oh, well we just spent the night here" April replied

"Yeah, and apparently you were naked in his bed" Natalie whispered with a smirk

April gave her a questioning look. Natalie pointed at Lydia, answering April's mental question. April groaned.

Jackson soon walked out of his room, wearing the same jeans from the night before, but with a different shirt. He had his bag and jacket in hand, ready to leave. He quickly spotted Natalie.

"Hey Natalie" he greeted

"Good Morning" she grinned, showing Jackson that she knew exactly what went down

He quickly turned to Lydia, who was now sitting on the couch "Time to leave Lydia"

"But I haven't had breakfast yet" she whined jumping off

"We'll get something on the way" he said "Hurry, let's go"

Lydia took her bag pack that was seated right next to her on the couch and then ran to her mother and Natalie to say goodbye. After doing so, her and Jackson left the apartment, leaving April and her friend to themselves.

"Soooooooo" Natalie said with a smirk

"I don't want to talk about this now, I have to get to work" she quickly said

She grabbed her purse from the spot she had left it the night before. After locking up, Her and Natalie quickly left the apartment, and headed to hers.

Jackson was at the nurse's station, filling out some charts, when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Dude you smell like crap" Alex said standing next to him

Jackson turned to look at his friend "Well you look like crap" he shot back

"I have a crying baby who won't sleep at night as a excuse. What's your excuse for smelling like you ran hundred laps around the hospital before coming in?" Alex asked

"I didn't shower this morning" he answered

"How could you not shower?"

"I didn't have time to" he answered handing the nurse the chart

"Why?"

"I woke up late" Jackson said leaving towards the elevator

"How could you make up late?" Alex asked following him

"What's with all the questions?" he said as they walked into the elevator that had just opened

"Dude, I'm like your best friend. If you start to smell when we're hanging out, people will think it's me" Alex said

Jackson rolled his eyes.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Cristina stopped it, and stepped in.

"Evil Spawn, Pretty Boy" she greeted with a nod

"Yang" they both said back

As the doors began to close again, Cristina turned around and looked at the two.

"I mean this in the meanest way possible........one of you smell like crap!" she said

Alex quickly pointed at Jackson.

"Pretty Boy?" she asked acting shocked

"He didn't shower this morning" Alex said

"How could you not shower?" Cristina asked turning back around

"I woke up late ok?" Jackson answered frustrated "I had to deal with a birthday party yesterday"

"Lydia's party finished at eight, you had plenty of time to sleep" Alex said

"I stayed up late"

"Doing what?" Alex asked

"Stuff" Jackson answered, he didn't want to talk about April being there

"What kind of "stuff" do you do that keeps you up at night, so that you wake up too late to take a freakin' shower?" Alex thought aloud

"I feel the need to ask this........" Cristina began ".....was April there?"

Jackson wondered if he should answer or not, he didn't want them figuring it out. But he was taking way to long to answer and the two quickly figured it out.

"You slept with her didn't you?" Alex asked

Jackson didn't answer, which actually answered the question.

"You did" Cristina grinned "That must have been some good sex"

Great Sex! Jackson mentally corrected her

"Look, she spent the night and stuff happened ok?" he said "I already got questioned by Lydia this morning, I don't need it from you too"

"Lydia walked in on you guys?" Alex asked as his eyes widened a bit

"Poor kid" Cristina commented

"No she didn't........kind of. She came into my room and found us asleep together" he explained

Just then the elevators opened up on the next floor. Cristina stepped off.

"Avery, it's awesome that you're getting laid now and all, but just a few pointers. Lock your door, TAKE A SHOWER after your little sessions, and don't knock up April Kepner again! Got it?" she said

"Yes ma'am" he answered before the elevator doors closed and Cristina walked off

"So......." Alex began "......are you guys together or what?"

"Ummm..." Jackson thought, he had no idea what them sleeping together meant "We're not together but I honestly don't know what it means"

"Well you guys should be together, I'm sick watching you two make these lovey dovey eyes at each other when you think no one's looking" Alex said

"We do not do that!" Jackson defended

"Yeah you do" Alex said as the elevator doors opened

Jackson stepped out and left his friend inside "See you later man" he said walking away

"Take a shower!" Alex called out as the doors closed

Jackson walked down the hall, towards the locker room showers, he didn't want anyone else telling him about his stench again.

As he walked, he thought more about what Alex asked. What did this really mean? He knew that he still had feelings for April, he never really stopped. Did he still love her? He believed he did. Did he want to be with her? He did! But all of this wouldn't matter if April didn't feel the same way.

________________

April sat at the table, opposite Natalie. They were having lunch at a coffee shop close by. The two were caching up, talking about how Natalie was doing, but Natalie was more interested in her friend and the events of last night than her life back in Ohio.

"So, how's it going at the clinic?" April asked about her old work place

"So are we not gonna talk about Jackson?" Natalie asked

"No we're not" April answered

"Really?"

"Yes"

"So we're just going to ignore the fact that you slept with your baby daddy and the fact that your daughter walked in on you guys?" Natalie questioned

"She didn't walk in on us doing anything, we were just asleep" April said

"If you say so" Natalie said with a smirk

"Ugh" April groaned, not in the mood to be teased by her friend

"So....are you guys getting back together?"

"Uh.............I don't know" April answered unsure of her answer

"Well you guys should!" Nat suggested "There's obviously still feelings lingering around"

"But Jackson and I are good at this whole co-parenting thing, it's working out perfectly" April said

"Except for the high sexual tension between you two"

"The co-parenting thing works!" she stressed

"What makes you think the relationship thing won't work just as good, or better?" Natalie asked

April sighed, her friend had a point. Yes the co-parenting worked out perfectly, but maybe them being together, being a family, would be much better. For the five years she spent away from Jackson, she would wonder what it would be like if things were different. Like if she didn't leave Jackson behind and raised Lydia with him, if she didn't marry Matthew or if he had just given her a reason that night of the storm. Maybe they would have been married, living in a huge house, with a younger brother for Lydia.

Maybe the Universe was giving her a second chance. But she wondered if Jackson felt the same way.
