The day you got married to Steve was the happiest day of your life. At first, everything was perfect. Both of you never left the honeymoon phase. Sure, the two of you might have arguments every now and then, but it was nothing major. You always knew that Steve wanted six babies, and the thought of it never fails to bring a smile to your face. However, when the two of you started trying for a baby, that’s when everything started to fall apart. 
Test after test, everything would always result in a negative one. You were getting weary of expecting something big, yet get nothing in return. Steve would always comfort you after everything even though he too was getting exhausted of being optimistic thinking that one day two lines might appear on your pregnancy test. That was until one night. 
Seeing two lines in the pregnancy test in your hand, you were ecstatic about this. You were finally gonna be a mother. When you told Steve about the good news over dinner, he was overjoyed. A tiny blob was finally growing inside of you. 
Steve was protective over you, he would never let you do simple things by yourself, he would always insist on doing it for you. You two were happy. But as they all say, everything good must come to an end. 
One night, you had just finished doing the dishes until you started to feel something running down your thighs. You went to the bathroom to check on it, and you saw blood. You started to feel pain on your lower abdomen, and in that moment, you knew something was wrong.
You grabbed the telephone that was on the bathroom counter and quickly dialed Steve. Once he answered, you told him about the predicament that you were in. "Steve, I'm bleeding so much right now"
As you said those words, Steve wasted no second at all and rushed to see his boss and told him about your current situation. Once he was permitted to go, he went to his car then started driving as fast as he could.
When he got home, he saw you lying on the floor with blood surrounding you. He quickly picked you up then started driving to the hospital to get you the help you needed.
Once he got there, he fought with the nurse just to make sure you get the medical attention you needed, and as soon as a doctor got to you, his hands ran through his hair because of worry and sat down. He was worried about you. 
As soon as you woke up, you were greeted with bad news. You had lost the baby. The good news didn’t even seem like good news to you, the thought about you losing your baby was the only thing on your mind right now. Why was life so unfair? You’ve done everything right, yet you get this in return? Everything felt like a fever dream. 
Weeks had passed and you shut everyone out. You knew Steve was trying hard to cheer you up, but even he had to fight his own battles with his own demons. Trying to conceive a baby was hard enough, but losing the baby you had tried so hard to create was even harder. You felt as if a part of you died that day. 
Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The pain was unbearable. Every night, you would cry yourself to sleep with Steve hearing your soft sobs as he tried to console you, but nothing helped. 
Steve has had enough one day so he decided to confront you about it. “When are you gonna move one, (Y/N)?” 
You turned to look at him in disbelief. Was he really asking you this question right now? Is he that insensitive that even you miscarrying was nothing to him? 
“When I’m ready, Steve” You scoffed. “We’ve been trying for months and having the thing we tried so hard to get stripped away from us is hard for me” You added. 
He furrowed his eyebrows at you. “I can’t believe you right now. Do you think this isn’t hard for me?” 
“I lost a child too, (Y/N)!” He exclaimed. “The best thing you can do right now is at least help yourself accept that it happened.” Steve added. 
“I can’t help you all the time, honey. It’s time you accept that our baby is gone.” He stepped closer towards you as he hugged you. “We can try again, (Y/N). We can always try again”
You closed your eyes as you sighed. “I know, it’s just that this is hard for me. I’m sorry, Steve” 
“I know, baby. Let’s just stay like this for a while” And that was what you did. 
Though that small talk may have worked a little, you still shut everyone around you out. Sure, you and Steve had your little arguments every now and then, but it was nothing major. However, Steve started to drift away from you. 
You started to notice this because of the way he acted. He became colder than usual and whenever you would ask him about his day, he would always respond with “It's nothing, just the usual” everyday. The consequences of your actions had finally started to show. 
So, you tried to be better, day by day, you picked yourself up piece by piece. You weren’t fully healed, but you were definitely better than before. Realizing that there’s no point in crying over something that happened, you decided to accept what had happened to you and let your baby move on to a better place. 
One night, when Steve got home, he went to the master bedroom to rest. You were building up the courage to tell him that you were ready to try again, but you were scared. Sitting down on the cold bathroom floor, tears started rolling down your face. Thoughts started filling your head. “What if this won’t work and we fail trying to conceive a baby again?” “What if it was a success yet you miscarry again?” 
Still, you ignored those negative thoughts and wiped the tears off of your face. You finally worked up the courage to tell Steve that you were ready to try again. Walking into the bedroom, you saw Steve laying down on the bed as he was watching TV. 
When you entered, he glanced at you for a second then back at the TV again. “Steve” you said softly as he turned to look at you with his eyebrows raised. 
“I think I’m ready to try again” 
“What?” He asked as you repeated what you had said. “I said, I think I’m ready to try again for a baby” You sat down on the bed beside him as he did the same thing. 
“Are you sure? I’m not pressuring you to do so. I’m ready whenever you’ll be ready” He said as he held your hand in his. “I’m ready now, Steve” 
“Are you sure?” He looked into your eyes as you nodded in return. His hands were on your face as he pulled you in for a passionate kiss. 
And you spent your entire night making love with him for the first time in months. 
The predicament did not change, even after trying and trying, you still were getting negative results back. You were getting pessimistic again. 
With that, the two of you started drifting away from each other often burying yourselves with work to avoid interacting with each other. If you did talk, it would only be an exchange of 2-3 words. It turns out that you weren’t the only one who noticed this, Steve did too, and he decided to do something about it. 
One night, you and Steve were eating dinner in silence after work, only the sound of utensils filled the air. That was until Steve finally spoke. 
“I want to get a divorce” 
The clattering of your utensils stopped at his remark. You raised your head to look at him only to see him already looking at you. “Why?” you let out softly. 
“Because it’s not the same anymore, I miss the old us. But we both know that’s not gonna happen again” He stated. “What would happen if we tried again and again and got the same results every time? Would you still act the same as you did before? Would you let me pick you up over and over again?” He asked. 
“I’m getting tired too, (Y/N). I think it’s best if we go our separate ways” He said. 
You were stunned and stayed still in your position. You knew that he was right, and you didn’t bother fighting him. Tears just started rolling down your face as you let out a soft “Ok” in agreement with what he said. Steve’s heart broke at the sight of you, but he knew that this decision was for the best. 
That was until you started experiencing pregnancy symptoms. Nausea, sensitive to certain smells, and most importantly, your period was late. Other things could’ve been the cause of it too, but you knew that it would be better to know if it was what you think it was. 
You bought a pregnancy stick from a store, and as soon as you got home, you peed on it. Two lines appeared on it. You were pregnant. Joy was the only emotion you had right now. But it was soon replaced with sadness. 
You wanted to tell Steve so badly, but you knew that if you did, it would change his perspective on the divorce. You didn’t want him to stay with you just because of your baby, you believed that two people should stay together because they love each other, not because of a child. So, you decided not to tell him about it. 
The divorce did happen after a few weeks, and Steve let you have the house. Your morning sickness wasn’t getting any better. 
When you were walking around the mall to find baby items. You saw Steve and another girl with him. They were holding hands and kissing every now and then. You couldn’t help but feel jealous. That used to be you and him. But, you just ignored them and continued shopping. 
This secret was getting too heavy for you to hold on to so you had decided to tell your bestfriend, Robin. 
You, Steve, and Robin were close since high school and up till now. Robin was the first one to know about the divorce before you told the others about it. And now, Robin would be the first one to know about your secret pregnancy with yours and Steve’s baby. 
Once you told Robin about the news, she was so excited to find out that she was going to be an aunt. She caressed your belly as she started talking to the baby inside of you. 
“So how far along are you?” She asked. You sighed, “I haven’t gone to the doctor ever since I found out about this. The only time I went was to find out if I really was pregnant or not” You replied. 
“What? That’s nuts! You should go to the doctor to at least find out if the baby is healthy or not!” She exclaimed. “No! I won’t go to the doctor, not until I finish my first trimester. I’m scared that I’m gonna miscarry again. So no, I won’t go and nothing you say will make me change my decision about it” You fought back. 
“(Y/N) that’s dumb! You need to go to the doctor!” 
“Enough! I will go when I end my first trimester and my decision is final” You replied back as you slumped in your seat. Robin didn’t put up any more fight with you, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to change your mind about it, so she decided to go to the person she knew who could maybe help. 
You always had game nights on Fridays at Nancy and Jonathan’s place. They got married a few months after you and Steve did. This would be the first time you'd face Steve after your divorce. 
Everyone except you was already there when Steve had arrived. He greeted everyone in the room until Robin pulled him aside into the kitchen to talk with him. 
“So, how are you Steve?” Robin asked as Steve furrowed his eyebrows. “Are you asking me that in general or is it about the divorce?” He queried. 
“Uhh, both?” Robin smiled awkwardly as Steve raised one of his eyebrows at her. “Well I’m good in general and I’m doing well after the divorce. I’ve been seeing other people now”
“Wow that didn’t take long at all” Robin scoffed as Steve defended himself “Hey, Hey! It’s been a few weeks since the divorce, okay?” 
“I waited and did not get right into it unlike other people” He added as she sighed at her friend. “Ok that’s good. I need to go now” She said but Steve pulled her back before she could even go. 
“How’s (Y/N) doing?” He asked worried about his ex-wife. “She’s doing good” Robin replied hesitantly before facing Steve.
Robin took a deep breath before telling Steve the truth that her best friend hid from him. Something that haunted her every single night debating whether or not to tell Steve about it. “(Y/N)’s pregnant” 
Steve stood there dumbfounded from what Robin had revealed to him. “It's yours, and she’s refusing to go to the doctor and I need you to convince her to go because she won’t. She just won’t go.”
Just as soon as he was about to reply, the front door opened revealing you. “So, I forgot to bring something but I ordered pizza, and I- Ooh is that Nancy’s cupcakes I smell? I need to have a taste of that” you giggle as you remove your shoes. 
Steve walked towards you furious that you kept your pregnancy from him. “Oh hi” you smiled at him, but he didn’t return the smile back. 
“Since when did you know?” He asked. “What do you mean?” you furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. “Since when did you know you were pregnant?” 
You froze. Robin told him about it. You turned to face Robin who was behind Steve with a worried look on her face. “You told him about this?” you exclaimed at her. 
“She did, but that’s not the point. You told Robin and not me?” He asked. “I don’t have time for this right now Steve” 
“Then when do you have time? Were you even planning on telling me about this?” He raised his voice at you. Everyone’s eyes were now at the both of you. “Steve, please don’t. Not here, not right now.” 
“You had enough time to tell me about this even before the divorce. You don’t think a pregnancy would have affected my decision to go forward with a divorce?” He asked
“I knew it would! But you didn’t want to stay with me!” You exclaimed. “People should stay married because they love each other, not because of a baby!” you added. 
“You think I want you to stay for my baby–” “Our baby” “And have you hating me for the rest of my life?” you argued with him. 
You and Steve continued to exchange more words until Nancy pulled you two apart from each other. “Hey, stop this now! There are teenagers watching you guys. Settle this some other time." She said.
The two of you were now staring at each other furiously. “This doesn’t change anything, Steve” 
Steve scoffed, “You’re right, it changes everything!” He replied as he went out and slammed the door on you. 
You stood there by the door, loss of words. The one person you trusted had revealed your secret, your ex-husband practically hates you now, you were embarassed that the others had to witness your fight with Steve.
And then, everything turned black.

When you think about it past all the angst and whatnot, Japril as a ship is comedic gold. Started boning because they had test anxiety. Their second time having sex was in a public bathroom and one party later insisted they’re a virgin. Had a pregnancy scare, got engaged, and broke up in the SAME SHIFT at work. The jealousy storyline started because one of them invited the other to go to a wedding with one of their colleagues (against their will). Interrupted a whole ass wedding to run off together and then pretended that they weren’t together for weeks to all of their family and friends despite having eloped. Realized there were consequences to their actions and were just 😡 about it. Got divorced because they have the communication skills of a peanut lying on the floor of a Texas Roadhouse (none). One of them was pregnant and didn’t tell the other for an extremely long time which led to a custody battle that lasted like six episodes before they were peachy again. Oh wait! Now she’s dying in labor! Wait no she’s fine. Let’s move in together! Both of them have feelings for each other which culminates in them sleeping together and they’re literally raising a child together and for all intents and purposes #married but then they get Divorce Number Two and one of them is so distraught they start to date their step sibling. She gets married to dude she left at the altar who is just okay with it because his wife died? Step sibling is more shocked by the fact that he’s clearly still in love with his ex wife than like. The sibling thing. They break up. He goes through some not as serious relationships/situationships. Convinces Dream Wife to Move to Boston where they presumably had inappropriate sex and got back together and then became the only confirmed end game ship on the show. Legendary, those two. No fucking notes except yes fucking notes and Krista Vernoff is getting my therapy bill.

This started out as a joke, and then it got out of hand. I don't even know if I should consider it a japril drabble, but it was fun to write, so here we go 🤷
___
"What can I get you, Dr. Pierce?"
"Um, tequila, please."
Drinking alone after a breakup seems cliché, but Meredith is busy, with her being fired and on trial and whatnot, and Amelia has her baby drama with Link (not that she would have invited Amelia to a bar in the first place), so her hopes of finding a sympathetic ear to listen to her rant against Jackson freaking Avery are pretty limited.
From her spot at the bar, her gaze skims over the usual Friday crowd at Joe's. Sipping on her drink, she spots some interns and residents playing darts and getting drunk, a few attendings huddled around a table, the starting act of a bachelorette party, and, a few seats away from her, a man drinking by himself, a man looking uncannily like...
"Matthew?"
The man raises his head, and she sees the recognition in his eyes.
"Oh, hi, uh, Maggie," he says, raising his beer in her direction.
He doesn't seem drunk, but well on his way there, so Maggie can't help but ask.
"Are you okay? Where's April?"
Matthew chuckles humorlessly.
"Where's April? Well, probably at home with Harriet. Or saving the world or something."
He sees her confused expression and shakes his head.
"We broke up a few weeks ago. Wow, Avery didn't tell you?"
No, he didn't, but then it's not like Jackson talked a lot about April's husband with her. Or about April. Or Harriet, even. Or his feelings. Or what was going on in his life. In fact, what did they even talk about, during the course of their relationship?
"I'm sorry," she mumbles, taking a seat next to him and ordering another tequila.
"Don't be. Apparently, walking down the aisle with me was as much a mistake as the first time, but it took her longer to realize it this time. Or whatever. Lucky for her, that marriage wasn't even legal, because it was, you know, very last-minute, so she didn't have to get divorced again. Big win for her."
Maggie nods absently, her mind racing. She doesn't want to wonder if the specific timing of both break-ups is suspect, if one stemmed from the other, because she's tired of playing this game and truly wants to put everything behind her. She has nothing against April. After all, it's not her fault that her ex-husband is a massive idiot who can't talk about his feelings until it's too late to salvage anything, and Maggie is too old to play the part of the catty ex-girlfriend pinning everything on another woman.
That doesn't mean she won't stop being mad at Jackson for the foreseeable future, though.
"If it makes you feel better, we broke up too. Jackson and I, I mean."
Matthew looks at her, and whatever reaction she was expecting, him laughing was not it.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at you. It's just... Avery's such an idiot. He gets the girl, in this big romantic move, and then what does he do? He divorces her. Leaves her in the dust. And then he gets another girl, and what does he do, again? He lets her go. Idiot," he repeats, shaking his head and taking another sip of his beer.
"He's not an idiot, he's just..." She stops, wondering why she's defending the man all of a sudden, when she's spent the last few weeks being irretrievably angry at him. "No, you're right, he's an idiot. He's..."
"A bastard," supplies Matthew helpfully.
"Exactly! I mean, we were in a car, and he just went and left me. Left me stranded there, and disappeared in the fog. Like who does that?"
"A bastard," Matthew repeats. "Well, at least he didn't leave you in front of, I don't know, 100 of your closest friends and family."
The man has a point, and she would laugh if their situation wasn't so damn pathetic.
"It sucks though. I really liked Hare-Hare."
"Hare-Hare?"
"Yeah, Harriet. She's cute. You know, when she does this little pout when she wants her snacks? She was good with Ruby, too."
Maggie wants to say the same, but in all honesty, she hasn't spent much time with the little girl in the course of her doomed relationship with Jackson, so she can't offer any quality anecdote. Which should tell her that really, their relationship had an expiration date, and that she was too blind to see it.
"They all really did a number on us, uh?"
Matthew snorts and motions for the bartender to get them new drinks, and she gets the feeling that they're both going to need them.

Hi Ashlee!!! I hope you're doing well. I'm appealing to your brilliant mind for help with character analysis :) I want to write a japril fic but realize I'm struggling in part because imo Jackson has such an undefined and often inconsistently written personality? Like for seasons he's presented as too detached and remote and retreats whenever things get tough, but then a few seasons ago the writers tell us his problem is that he's too dependent on other people and can't be alone, which is...the exact opposite?! And he's often portrayed as laidback to the point of being not caring and trying hard enough but then suddenly like a week or two later he's all super intense and competitive? And they show him as almost TOO logical and rational to the point of detachment but then he'll be depicted like an episode later as someone who always follows his heart and his instincts?! I'm getting whiplash trying to get a handle on his core traits lol. It's funny with Grey's because their female characters are generally SO vividly, clearly defined and layered yet consistent, while the male characters tend to be either one dimensional or wildly inconsistent. Anyway, any help you can give me is much appreciated!
Hello there, nonnie! I agree with you about how the Grey's writers have written Jackson inconsistently over the course of the show.
I always resonated with his character most when he was depicted as logical/rational and somewhat emotionally detached. That made sense to me, given his background as an Avery and growing up with Catherine as his mother. I'd argue she's not the warmest person. She's focused, intense, and ambitious. A strong personality. A force to be reckoned with. She loves her son, of course, I am not doubting that, but I think it's obvious she raised him to be the sort of person to do what's right, to do what's expected of him, and I feel like that's translated into him having had to brush emotion aside. He was taught that other things were more important. So, in that regard, he would have been brought up to be intense and competitive, right? That's what was expected of him. I feel like Catherine wouldn't have had much patience for emotional-based decision making either, so Jackson would've learned to suppress a lot to survive and be successful. (Which, I'd argue, is something we see over the course of the series already.)
He's always struck me as a more introverted, introspective person, too. Someone who weighs his thoughts and actions. He may be impulsive at times, quick to act in certain scenarios, but only if, logically, he reasons that it's the best course for him in that moment. He's not expressive, either. I feel like he has a difficult time not only identifying his emotions but being able to put them into words until he reaches an epiphany. He intellectualizes long before he allows himself to feel. Ironically, this is why April is such a wonderful complement to him romantically because she ushers him into a state of feeling, into a state of sitting with his emotions. She helps him to confront parts of himself that are uncomfortable, foreign, or scary. She pushes him out of his comfort zone.

I’m that same April/Arizona/Shane hate anon
When did you stop watching greys ? I’m only asking because I really enjoy your blog and POV and finally found someone who agrees that Arizona is terrible to Callie
I’m also curious if you’ve seen the part of greys where April and Jackson lose their first baby - it’s around the time Shane came in (season 9-11 I think)
Did you like Lexie ? I didn’t but disliking her is also unpopular. I don’t hate her l, I just don’t see her point. She’s cute with mark and they have a good relationship but character wise, she’s nothing special to me. When she came in season 4 as the daughter thatcher chose and raised instead of mer, I really disliked her just because at that point I was on Meredith’s side.
Also, do you remember Mer fighting with Cristina in s5 ? If so, whose side were u on ? Do you have an opinion on the mer and Cristina fight in s10 (I was totally on Meredith’s side on that btw)
It's funny because I recently rewatched the Cristina/Meredith fight in season 10 and I'm on Cristina's side 100%.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are valid points. She even says it has nothing to do with being a mother
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
People get so wrapped up in her pointing out that Ellis never let up but her point was that because Meredith didn't want to be Ellis, which was valid, she let that --- at the time anyway --- affect her dedication to her work.
She didn't even say she was a bad surgeon, she just said that the two of them were in different places and they were and then Meredith twisted what Cristina said.
Tumblr media
because she never said she couldn't do that, she just said that she slowed down and her priorities were different and they were.
In terms of the printer, Meredith's research, yes, she got it for the hospital to complete her research and she needed to complete her phase before the end of the week to get funding but Cristina had an actual patient who was running out of options and she was doing everything she could to save the patient's life. That should take precedence.
People hate that Shane intervened but what he said wasn't wrong, Meredith did make it emotional, she did make it personal and that's something that Meredith does frequently
Tumblr media
and something Cristina had called her out about in their season 5 fight
Tumblr media
So, I was on Cristina's side.
In terms of their fight in season 5, I don't really know if I had a side because no matter how you slice it, they were both wrong. Like, I definitely thought Cristina was right to tell Meredith that all of them failed their interns but she didn't report them and I thought she should've been punished for that and the fact that she didn't report them isn't Meredith's responsibility. At the same time, Meredith was kind of acting holier than thou when her interns were also a part of the situation and as for her not having her back, she doesn't have to but I mean she had Izzie's in season 2 and for all of their talk about being each other's Person, I can see why Cristina would be pissed but again, it wasn't really about sides for me with that one.
I stopped watching Grey's when Cristina left, which I think is season 10 but after season 2 frankly, Grey's gets kind of fuzzy for me because it was strange, I'd find, like, two seasons trash and then one season really good and then the other season mediocre but with one or two really stand out episodes so I have to refresh my memory and I definitely won't really remember much minor/side characters like Shane.
I went through a phase where I caught up on Grey's through youtube vids of certain ships so I'm fairly certain I saw the whole devolution of Japril which included when they lost their first child because I remember when Jackson tried to comfort her and suggested trying for another baby and April freaks out and then I believe she leaves, right? and then she comes back and wants him back or something then they have another kid and then there's a whole custody thing or something because I remember Jackson tries to talk to her and she slams the door in his face or something and he kicks it or something and I was like whoa, Japril got really toxic in the time that I haven't been watching.
Lexie:
With Lexi, I just didn’t get the point of her. Every time she was onscreen I was just like, why are you here, what do you bring, what IS your personality, are you just the nice mousy girl who got to have a father in Thatcher and then get annoyed at Meredith when she has hangups about the life you got when he didn’t fight for her? Like who ARE you and why do I care about you? That was me every time she was onscreen. I mean, that’s also partially my thing, I don’t think I’m a very forgiving person so her insistence on being a part of Meredith’s life and begging her to give Thatcher a transplant because he was such a good father to her even though he wasn’t to Meredith just bothered me and she bothered me.

Chenford were hot!! 🥵🥵 how are you enjoying their relationship? Still can't believe they are Canon!
They were hot, like the "Japril in the bathroom" hot level imo.
I really enjoyed seeing the progression in the relationship, I think it's a very healthy one and it's nice to see that on television. I wouldn't have minded a little more angst but I'm more of a casual/binge viewer so maybe my perception of that is skewed because I didn't watch every week, idk. But I like where they are now ^^

tangled souls and under sparkling lights <3
Tangled Souls is so special to me - it's the first multi chapter japril I have written and it's YA japril which is my favourite AU version of japril :) I am so behind on updating it is not even funny but I love this story so much it is constantly on my mind! the new chapter is still in the notes phases but I did write this little bit a few nights ago:
We’ve spent every free minute in the last five weeks with one another. Driving around town, laying in the grass in my backyard or cuddled up on the porch swing at the back of her house. It’s easy with April, every moment with her feels effortless. Being with her comes as naturally to me as breathing – I’ve never felt this way before and thrilling. April is everything I never knew I wanted.
Under Sparkling Lights was supposed to be my christmas fic that I posted last year and just never finished lol so I've been working on it slowly throughout the year to get it ready for December! I've teased so much of it on twitter I feel so bad that I never actually posted so I'm determined to make it happen this year. Can't remember if I already shared this bit on twitter but this is one of my favourite japriet moments in this fic <3
Once we get the cookies in the oven I help Harriet wash her hands while Jackson cleans up. I set her down on one of the bar stools so I can start weighing out the chocolate we’ll need for the different icings while Jackson washes up. I feel him behind me soon enough, his hands on my hips as he moves us slowly to the music he’s playing through the speaker system. Harriet watches us, a smile on her face when she looks above us and starts clapping excitedly, “Kiss, daddy!” she suddenly says.
“You want a kiss?” He asks Harriet, barely getting a step back from me before our daughter interjects.
“No, silly.” She giggles, pointing up to the ceiling. 
I tilt my head up and spy the mistletoe hanging above us. Jackson’s been putting it all over the house in the most random locations because he knows how much it amuses Harriet when someone has to stop and kiss because usually, it’s her that gets a kiss on the cheek.
“The missy-toe means you have to kiss.” Harriet says, watching us expectantly, “Kiss. Kiss!”
“Oh. So you want me to kiss mama?”
I hear Jackson’s voice behind me and watch Harriet as she nods, her eyes growing wider; whatever he is doing behind my back exciting her to no end. Suddenly Jackson’s hands are on my waist again, firmer now as he turns me around. I startle, a loud squeak escaping as he takes my right hand in his left, his other hand on my lower back before he dips me. Out of the corner of my eye I see Harriet kneeling up so she can see us over the counter, squealing excitedly at her father’s antics.
“I’ve been waiting for this,” Jackson says softly, eyes sparkling as he looks at me, “been hanging that damn mistletoe everywhere.”

So, I found your blog a couple weeks back and absolutely love it!
I hope this is okay, and if it isn’t, you can just ignore it, but, do you have any headcanons for Japril that you’d be willing to share?
Hiiii, thank you💙💙💙
ofc it's okay!!!!
8x21 changed their brain chemistry FOREVER and now they're always going to be a lil obsessed with each other (jk with this one I just had to include one of my fave episodes hjdjhd)
At any point in their relationship they revert back to their married mode (that they mastered in their besties era)! Like when they moved to Boston people at the foundation were confused because they thought they were divorced?? Since they're so in sync
it even happened a few times that they would come to work in sort of matching outfits and they weren't living together or anything at the time
in Boston Jackson was the one that had to woo April
physical touch is definitely their love language
Harriet's aunts told her how April named a pig after Jackson that one time and she thought that was very funny and now calls every pig she sees Jacks. She also has a stuffed pig named Jacks. Ofc then she had to name another stuffed farm animal after her mama, so she has a sheep named April. Jackson and April asked her what animal she is and she said a dolphin.
I think they would adopt another kid. April always said she wanted three kids and with how her first two pregnancies went I think they would adopt.
April loooooves counting those freckles across Jacksons nose even though she knows the exact number already.
Jackson favorite color on April is green. (And he'd die to see her in that green dress again)
they fuck nasty
Also I'd love to here any headcanons if you'd like to share some!!

Not the media asking Sarah about Grey's.. They will never let me rest. I am so tired 😭 But I'm lowkey happy that they're hyping japril up cause you never know 👀
Sidenote: Seeing Sarah get the attention and spotlight she deserves makes me so happy. The way she remains so passionate about her work, always tries to reinvent herself, and move forward in her career is so inspiring. Grey's never gave her enough opportunities to promote their show even though Sasse were bringing in viewers week after week. I'm so glad that she's part of a show that values her. I hope that both she and Jesse keep thriving cause they deserve it so much 😭

Lila, I was just going to ask if you’ve ever watched Grey’s Anatomy until I saw your post that mentioned Japril. What’re your thoughts on the show?
So I didn’t grow up watching it, but when we were like 4 weeks into our relationship we both caught the flu, so being conscientious to get no one else sick I power much moved into his place (and then never left) but while we were sick for that week I admitted I’d never seen the show so we binge watched what was at that point 7 seasons and then I watched religiously until April left so season 14 and have only seen sporadic episodes sense. It kind of became our show so I have very great memories surrounding it.
I honestly really enjoy it but it’s just so heartbreaking all the time and the never ending drama was just too much. Like there are certain episodes I’ve seen once and then never again ( 👀 How to Save a Life) and some I don’t mind watching again (the first Japril centric episode). I think before I had kids it was easier to watch, but they constantly have storylines involving kids and I just can’t.
I do think it’s run it’s course and they should let it die already. They’re on season 18 with 19 already greenlit. It’s enough. Like are they waiting to end the final episode on Zola entering residency and putting on a ferry boat scrub cap. It’s ridiculous.

I need Monday to hurry and get here so I can be a little bit closer to Japril in the Grey’s finale the week after.

52 + Touching + Japril
gripping thigh
There was definitely something wrong with her.
She had seen Jackson in many relationships over the years, most of them casual flings that last a couple weeks at a time. There were a few people that had lasted past that threshold, and she’d paid attention to how he acted in those relationships in particular. It wasn’t even intentional that she had paid attention, but she blamed it on curiosity and drunken rambling from her best friend about the women he dated.
April hadn’t seen him get jealous in any of his other relationships. With Lexie, sure, he’d gotten frustrated having a mentor that was in love with his girlfriend. And he’d told her once about a kiss between Drs. Edwards and Ross, where he’d nearly broken up with the former (and wouldn’t that have saved everyone a lot of trouble, where two breakups didn’t have to happen at her wedding).
Jackson just really wasn’t the jealous type.
Except when it came to her.
And, okay, this might make her a bad person, but it made her feel special. Spending so many years of her life never feeling that way by a partner made it to where it was just really nice when she finally did.
So she kind of liked it when he got jealous.
It wasn’t like she’d gone out of her way to get him to feel jealous. No, they were married (again, and happily), and he had no reason to believe that she had feelings for anybody other than him. It just so happened that they were at some banquet, sitting across from Tom Koracick, and he made a bad joke about a very regrettable decision April had made earlier on in her sex life (in other words, referencing the fact that she had indeed slept with Koracick during a breakdown).
To be honest, April had mostly forgotten that experience (or mostly blocked it out, who knows), but she sensed Jackson’s irritation from beside her. She didn’t pay attention to whatever her husband said in response, because his hand was on her thigh, jealous and possessive and—
She was going to need to make an excuse to get them both out of there.
