Stole My Heart ❤️ {A Jackson Avery love story}

Chapter 181:

I woke up early to go over to Mer's and help everyone get ready. I made everyone coffee then I helped Mer get Zola ready.

Meredith: did you brush all of them?
Zola: yes.
Delilah: let me see little missy.

Zola turns around and smiles at me, making me smile back.

Delilah: that's my good girl. Keep brushing stinker.
Meredith: Maggie, where's—
Maggie: we're here. Found them.

Maggie walks into the bathroom with Bailey.

Meredith: where?
Maggie: they were under my pillow. Someone crawled into bed with me last night.

I see Amy walk into the bathroom with Ellis.

Amy: who's crawling into whose bed? Is DeLuca here?
Maggie: ha! Definitely not.
Bailey: it's the wrong foot.
Maggie: aw!

I chuckle as I kiss my little brother on the cheek.

Meredith: you know, we're all becoming like cat ladies, and the children are our cats.
Delilah: what about me?
Meredith: you're one of the cats, since you're married and have a perfect life unlike us.

I chuckle at my best friend.

Maggie: I'm not a cat lady just because I stopped having se—

I clear my throat obnoxiously.

Delilah: Mags...
Meredith: read the room.
Maggie: yeah. S-E-X with DeLuca.
Zola: hey mommy?
Meredith: yes?
Zola: why did aunt Maggie stop having S-E-X with DeLuca?

I stifle a laugh as I look at my little sister.

Meredith: because he couldn't handle that she was his B-O-S-S.
Delilah: piece of advice Zola, do not ever date a man who can't handle your P-O-W-E-R.
Zola: okay.
Amy: they just pick up everything.

I chuckle at Amy as we all start getting ready. Once everything was good to go, we all drive to the hospital together. When I get in, I change then I check on some of my patients.

-later-

I got called by Owen to the ER so I run and meet up with him.

Owen: Karev, Avery, let's move. We have an incoming GSW. Victim's 8 years old.
Peter's mom: oh my god!
Brandon's mom: our sons are both 8 years old. Which one is it? Which one of our sons has been shot?
Owen: ma'am, we'll know more soon. But right now—
Alex: right now, we just need you to have a seat, and we'll get back to you when we know something.

I run out with Owen and Alex. I turn around and I see Amy, Jo, Riggs, Maggie, Bailey, Webber, Blake, April and Jackson coming out.

Alex: guys, I appreciate that you want to help, but all I need right now is Hunt, Lilah, Wilson, and maybe cardio, and I have Lilah for Neuro anyways. So, the rest of you can go.

I watch the ambulance pull in. I notice the two moms walk in and try to walk towards the ambulance but we block them.

Delilah: guys.
Brandon's mom: no, we have to see who it is!
Delilah: ma'am, ma'am, we need you to stay back.

I follow Alex and Owen to the ambulance as the doors open.

Paramedic: 8 year old male, GSW to the abdomen. Stable after 500 cc volume NS.
Brandon's mom: who is it it? I can't see him.

I take out my flashlight and look at the boy's pupils.

Brandon's mom: no! No, it's Brandon! It's Brandon!
