Dr. Jackson Avery M.D. F.A.C.S.

I am a plastics fellow at Seattle-Grace-Mercy-West Hospital, studying under Mark Sloan. I'm engaged to April Kepner and my life couldn't be better.

“I think he will tell us when he wants a hair cut,” I answer. “I love his hair,” I say with a nod. I do t want him to grow up. It’s hard to believe he will be three in the fall.

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

I nodded agreeing with Jackson. I wasn’t ready for it to get cut yet. “I’m not ready to cut it. He has such gorgeous curls.” I said as I lifted Charlie out drying him off. Charlie was already half asleep.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

I follow April into Charlie's room and she finishes drying him off while I grab a fresh diaper and some pajamas for him. "Sleep good little man. We love you," I say as I turn on the monitor and mobile.

“Of course I want to help you,” I answer with a smile before we both head into the playroom. Charlie is playing with his trains. “Are you ready for a bath?”

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

Cake nodded excited to get a bath with Jackson and I followed them into the bathroom with a fresh clean towel for Charlie and clean clothes. “Daddy, halp me?” Charlie asked as he tried to climb into the tub. He grabbed his favorite rubber duckie as I grabbed the shampoo for him, and pulled out the things to do Charlie’s hair. I looked at Jackson and asked “does this look like everything for his hair?” I loved Charlie’s curly hair but he was probably going to be due for a barber trip soon.

"Because we haven't wanted to give our baby boy a haircut. He isn't much of a baby anymore," I say with a sigh as I begin to wash Charlie's hair as he plays happily in the water. We haven't talked about having another since the miscarriage. It was too heavy. We had lost our way for a long while and nether of us wants to rock the boat.

“We can do that tonight,” I agree with a smile as I turn around and pull her closer to me. “And I can make plans to take you out later this week on a proper date night.”

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

I sit on Jackson’s lap and kiss him gently, “This is actually perfect, I don’t need a fancy date night. Just being home with you and Charlie is all I need.” I tell him as I press my face to his. “I made your favorite cake too,” I whispered in his ear.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"But you deserve it for everything you do for us," I tell her as I pull her body a bit closer to mine. I kiss her shoulder and smile when she says she made my favorite cake.

“The park? Daddy wishes he hadn’t missed the park. Did Victoria go with you?” I ask my son as I watch him. He is so incredibly smart. “ it was a rough one. Lots of patients. Some burns,” I admit softly.

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

Charlie nodded before asking “I go play now?” I helped Charlie out of his booster seat as he ran off to his play room. I walked behind Jackson and hugged him close to me. “I’m sorry Jackson.” I say rocking him slowly back and forth. “At least the day is behind you and you’re home.” I kiss his neck as I close my eyes inhaling the smell of his cologne.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"It's alright. That's why we are doctors right? To help save people," I reason. I gently rub her arm as she holds onto me.

“Potatoes are yummy,” I tell Charlie as I pop one into my mouth. “Did you have a good day?” I ask April as I sip a piece of bread into my stew.

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

“Yucky! I no like.” Charlie pouted, as he continued to pick them out. “I did, service today was amazing. Charlie even learned about Noah’s Ark.” I said, smiling as Charlie nodded. “He took amimals on a big ship. God says to.” Charlie proudly said, “I wanna do that.”

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"It sounds like you two had a really good day," I answer with a smile as I hand Charlie another napkin.

I smile at Charlie before sitting down in my own seat. I take a bite of my food. "So good," I tell April. She asks me if I want to come to the pot luck. "I should be able too. I need to check my schedule though."

“This is super cool buddy,” I answer softly as I pick my son up and settle him on my hip. I gently ruffle his hair before taking the picture and looking at it.

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

“it you and me!” Charlie said excitedly as he hugged his daddy. “I make it for you!” I finished setting the table and made Charlie’s plate. “Ok you two dinners ready,” I say.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"Daddy is going to take it to work and put it in his office." I promise my son as I carry him over to the table and get him settled in his high chair.

Run to you baby (Gizzie)

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

I smiled as Izzie sat down onto my lap and I placed my head against her shoulder. I was only 6 hours into my 48 hour shift and I felt dead. “Paperwork sounds so nice right now. I’d rather be doing that. My twenty four got extended to a forty eight, so I’m practically living here this week,” I say.

[izziecups]

I can’t tell him. Not now. He will worry. “Owen really needs to come back from leave. You can only love on a baby for so long,” I tease with a smile. I hate all the hours George has had to work.

[george-omalley-army-medic-blog]

“He deserves all the time off though. He did it for me” I reminded her playfully. I play with her hair and smile. “So what’s been the most exciting part so far?”

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"George....."I whisper softly. I know I have to tell him. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I don't know who is following me, but if something happened to Sofia or Cameron because of this, I would die. "Something has been following me. I've been getting creepy texts."

“I halp.” I hear Charlie say as he dragged his favorite stepping stool into the kitchen. “You wanna help me cook for Daddy?” I asked as he nodded. I loved cooking with Charlie, sometimes it seemed like us cooking was how we were able to spend most of our time together.

I helped Charlie stand up on the stool and handed him a spoon, “Can you mix for me?” I asked him as he excitedly nodded. I smiled as he helped me add the ingredients to the stew, it was hard to believe how big he was already.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

“Hey guys. What’s cooking?” I ask as I come into the house after my shift. Something smells wonderful, but I’m not sure what it is. I pout a little when I don’t see Charlie sitting in the play room waiting for me.

[paperplanes-rising-blog]

“Daddy! I halp mommy,” Charlie says as he points excitedly at the stew we are cooking. I look at Jackson and offer him a smile, “Stewed meat, potatoes celery, and carrots. Also sour dough bread bowls.” I say as I walk to Jackson and gave him a kiss. “How was work babe?” I asked.

[drjacksonhavery-blog]

"You are such a big helper Charlie," I say as I smile at my son. "Sounds good," I reply as April walks over to me and kisses me. I wrap my arms around her, knowing in a moment Charlie will be trying to get in between us.

"It was busy," I admit.
