As the daughter of two world-renowned surgeons, the weight of her family name—and the legacy of the Moreaux-Le Beau organ transplant empire—was a constant shadow over her life. From an early age, she was groomed to excel, but the crushing pressure eventually took its toll. At just seventeen, Gabrielle's life changed forever when she found out she was pregnant with twins. Her decision to keep them not only brought shame to her influential family but severed ties she had never imagined breaking.

Raising twin daughters as a single mother while attending medical school in Paris was no easy feat. Yet, despite her family's disapproval and lack of support, Gabrielle carved out her path. By the time she finished her first year as a surgical intern at the prestigious Moreaux-Le Beau Hospital, her name carried weight in its own right—a rising star in the medical world, no longer just her parents' daughter. But her success wasn't enough to quiet the ache inside her. The ghosts of her past lingered, and the need to reclaim her sense of self drove Gabrielle to leave everything behind for a fresh start in Seattle.

At twenty-two, Gabrielle joined the surgical residency program at Seattle Grace Hospital. It was a bold move to leave the familiarity of Paris for the unpredictable challenges of Seattle, but it was what she and her daughters needed. However, nothing could prepare her for what awaited her at Seattle Grace. The demanding pace of surgeries, the messy drama among her peers, and the turbulence of hospital mergers all seemed like manageable obstacles—until Jackson Avery walked into her life again.

Gabrielle and Jackson had history. At sixteen, Gabrielle fell in love with the charming, driven boy who made her feel seen for the first time. But their young love was cut short, leaving wounds that neither of them fully healed from. Jackson doesn't know that Gabrielle's twins are his, and she's determined to keep it that way. She's worked too hard to build a life for herself and her girls to let the past unravel her now.

But the pull between them is undeniable. As Gabrielle navigates the challenges of residency, balancing motherhood, friendships, and her growing reputation as a surgical prodigy, she's forced to confront the parts of her past she's tried so hard to bury. Jackson becomes a complication she didn't anticipate—but also a chance at the one thing she's been too scared to hope for: a second chance at love.

As their lives intertwine once again, Gabrielle must ask herself: Can she have it all, or will the truth about her daughters, her past, and her heart destroy everything she's worked for?

Can Gabrielle find a balance between love, family, and the high stakes of surgery, or will it all come crashing down around her?

𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: I do not own Grey's Anatomy or anyone from the series. I only own Gabrielle and other original characters I created in this story. This will follow Grey's seasons 3 through 6 loosely. I will follow the original plot of the seasons but go about it in my way as if Gabrielle and my original characters were in the show.

𝐏.𝐒: I know she's young and most don't think she can be that young but also remember this is fiction and not real. Also, she speaks French, so that I will use some of those words here or there. I will put the translations in the comments, like my Emergence story. When the book is finished, I'll post a glossary. If I translate something wrong, let me know I'll change it. It might take some time, but I will.
