Stole My Heart ❤️ {a Jackson Avery Love Story} (continued)

Chapter 243:

I'm standing in the lobby with Jackson waiting for Mer.

Delilah: so, have you been thinking of baby names hon?
Jackson: nope.
Delilah: why?
Jackson: because yours are always better.
Delilah: think of something babe. Just think about the important people in our life.

Just then, Mer comes around.

Meredith: when did you get the call?
Jackson: earlier this morning– donor's in Olympia.
Meredith: and everything checks out?
Delilah: yeah, it's a perfect match.
Meredith: have you told her yet?
Jackson: well, we didn't want you to miss the fun.

We walk to radiation and see mom with Richard.

Jackson: so... how did it go?
Webber: oh, we just finished.
Delilah: any pain or nausea? Dizziness?
Mom: I feel annoyed. Too many people have nothing to do except fret over a five minute radiation zap. A potato wouldn't have cooked in the time that I was in there.

I chuckle and playfully roll my eyes at mom. Then, I look at Jackson and give him a look that said 'tell her'.

Mom: what?
Jackson: well, we have something for you.
Meredith: a gift.
Mom: I don't see anything.
Delilah: it is a patient that we brought in from LA for an abdominal wall transplant—
Mom: a gift implies jewelry.
Jackson: we are also going to transplant his penis and scrotum.

That sparked mom's medical interest.

Delilah: or you are... if you're ready to come back of course.

I hand the tablet to mom and watch her face turn into a smile.

Mom: I guess I need to change into some scrubs.

There she is.

Mom: my babies brought me a penis!

I chuckle as mom pulls Jackson and I into a hug.

Jackson: yes, yes they did.
Mom: hello!

I chuckle as mom walks out the door.

-later-

I'm walking around outside with Meredith.

Meredith: how you feeling?
Delilah: I feel good. I went to see Miller a couple days ago, and everything's fine.
Meredith: and my grandson is doing good?
Delilah: yes he is.
Meredith: have you thought of names yet?
Delilah: I have a few in my head, but they're not really sticking.
Meredith: you'll find it.
Megan: hello!

I look up and I smile when I see Megan approaching us.

Meredith: oh! Megan!

I squeal and the three of us share a hug.

Megan: hi Meredith! Hi Delilah!
M&D: hi!
Meredith: how are you?
Megan: I'm good!
Delilah: you look fantastic! Are you well?
Meredith: how are you feeling? What's happening? Is there—
Megan: oh, I'm sorry. Did you want to look at it?
Meredith: yes!

Megan lifts up her shirt to reveal her belly.

Megan: there you go.
Meredith: wow.
Megan: I know. Hey! This stomach won the Catherine Fox Award people. You should all be looking at it too.

I chuckle at Megan.

Meredith: that looks really good.
Megan: yeah. Well, you did it.
Meredith: so, now, tell me– there's no pain, no tenderness, no...?
Megan: nothing. And by the way, lifting up my shirt was how I convinced my patient to get the same surgery, so, you know, don't mess up.
Meredith: fantastic. Lilah and I are on our way to do the procedure now. And just for the record, we did not tell Teddy and Owen that you were coming, in case you want to surprise them.
Megan: Teddy? Teddy's here?
Delilah: yes, Teddy is here.
Megan: oh my god.
Delilah: you didn't know.
