It was Valentine's Day, something that I never did. Jackson and I were going on a date but we kept seeing ambulances pass us.

"Now, can you please stop looking at these ambulances. Tonight is about the two of us." He said to me, I crossed my arms watching another go past.

"But it's a mass casualty." I said to him, he looked at me.

"If it's important they'll page- -" He started before our pagers went off.

"Turn this car around this instant Avery." I said to him, when we got to the hospital I immediately changed before getting ready to help out. I went to find Callie. When I found her she was talking with Derek and Owen. They'd just showed up.

"Restaurant roof collapse. Yeah, so far a penetrating abdominal injury, a sucking chest wound and a massive head wound. Also, there's an open fracture in the way. Do you want us- -" Callie started before April came over, yes she'd been hired back unfortunately.

"Dr. Shepherd!" She said, Callie didn't even finish what she was saying.

"Oh, you're still here?" Derek asked her tiredly.

"If you're here, I'm here. There's an OSHA investigator waiting in the lobby, and there's also two TV crews who are asking for a statement. I told 'em to wait for you. They're setting up outside." April said to him, she was more annoying then before.

"We cleared the OR board, also, I paged Bailey, Nelson, Altman and Sloan. Do you want to get anybody else?" Callie started before April spoke over the top of her.

"As soon as I have all the numbers..." April said before Derek stopped them.

"Stop. Who do I see first?" He asked, they then spoke at the same time.

"Skull fracture, Trauma 1." Callie said.

"The OSHA guy." April said, instead Derek went to Trauma 1.

"I'm gonna see how the floors going I'll be back soon." I said to Callie, she nodded and I left. I was needed to help on examining a patient. It was a sprain so there was nothing I could do. I then went to back to Callie. We helped where we could before we went different ways. I kept going back to help with the trauma's where I could. Callie joined me after a while and told me about how Sloan wanted to adopt out her baby. "So, what did Mark say?" I asked her as we walked around the hospital.

"He said he'd adopt the baby. I said that I would help as well." She said to me, I smiled.

"That's sweet at least then the kid will have two people that love him and will support him." I said to her with a smile.

"True. The kid has the Sloan nose according to Mark." She said to me as we went to get a cup of coffee.

"Well, I'm happy for the two of you. I just hope that you're both ready for early mornings, crying, tantrums and all the other bad things to do with kids. But of course there's the great parts as well like the unconditional love and the hugs. But I know that you and Mark will be able to handle it." I said to her she looked at me.

"You didn't describe the role in the best way but I'm still gonna say that this was a good idea." Callie said to me, when shift ended I headed home. Jackson was still working. Callie called me.

"I can tell something happened. Don't tell it's something to do with- -" I started before she cut me off.

"Sloan left, she's not giving the baby to us." Callie said to me I shook my head.

"How are you gonna break the news to Mark?" I asked her, he was going to be hurt broken.

"I don't know, it's gonna shatter him into pieces. He was ready to look after this baby and now that opportunity has been taken away from him." She said to me, I looked down.

"Hopefully she changes her mind and she comes back. If she does return you can always try and get her to hand the baby over. But it's also like Mark could always track down the baby's adoptive parents." I said to her, we then spoke about this until Mark would've made it home to see Sloan gone. I felt bad for him, he'd finally met his daughter and then she was taking his grandson away from him. Not giving him anytime to get over what was happening. This was probably what my ex felt like when I gave him Caleb and left. He had one thing but he never had me as well. I was starting to feel bad over my past choices that I'd made. Maybe I should've done this differently in the past. When Jackson finished work he stopped by my apartment.

"So, seeming as we couldn't go to dinner. I was thinking we could have takeout instead." Jackson said while holding the bags. He noticed me looking upset. "What happened?" He asked me while sitting opposite me.

"Sloan is giving the baby up for adoption and Mark was going to adopt him with Callie. And it made me think about what I did with Caleb." I said to him. He took my hand.

"But that was a different circumstance, he made you feel like you had to have Caleb. You didn't get an out, our anything like that. So please don't feel bad." He said to me, I was trying not to. We ate takeout before having the sex we should've last night.
