Start of Cravings

Ivy rolls over to face Jackson in bed. She looks over his shoulder at the clock and sees that it's 3:15 am. Ivy let's out a little huff as her head hits the pillow. She frowns and waits a couple of seconds before repeating the process a couple more times. Jackson, without opening his eyes, says, "Ivy, babe, what's going on?"

"You know how you said you'll love me forever and do anything I ask?" Ivy smiles.

"What do you want?"

"Fries and a milkshake. Oh, and pickles. Please, the babies really want it," she tells him.

Jackson huffs before getting out of bed, "Yup, on my way to go get a milkshake, some fries, and some pickles," he yawns, stretching.

Ivy smiles before falling back asleep. Shes woken back up to Jackson climbing back into bed, "Here is your food. Now, I'm going back to bed. "

As soon as his head hits the pillow, their pagers go off. Ivy hops out of bed as Jackson groans, "Come on, Jackie. It'll be easier if you just get up now."

"I am so tired. You know, this has happened five times in the last week? Its like the hospital is purposely doing this to me."

April and Ivy walk down the halls, clip boards in hand, "Okay, so your wedding is in a couple weeks and mine is a few months after that. Now, Jackson is going as my plus one to yours, does Matthew want his own invitation or is he going as your plus one as you are my maid of honor?"

She thinks, "He'll be my plus one. Are you good to go to the dress fitting this weekend?"

"Yes, not that it'll do any good as I'll just be bigger by the next one. Can we hold off on mine until a little before the wedding? I don't care if it's flattering for me or not, I just don't want to spend hours getting fitted for a dress we won will end up needing to be resized shortly before the wedding anyways," Ivy rants.

"Yes, that'll work. So, my sisters are my other bridesmaids, they aren't happy that you're my maid of honor by the way, and they are flying out to for my bridal shower and I don't know how to tell them I'm not a virgin. Help me," April pleads.

"It doesn't matter what your sisters know. They aren't the ones who are a part of your wedding night so you don't need to tell them anything. If things get out of hand with your sisters, just send them my way. I have practice dealing with overbearing sisters. Now, my bridesmaid dresses. I want a mint green dress, a mint green tie for the guys, and some little pops of it in my bouquet and my hair. How does that sound?" She questions.

April smiles, "Oh, that will look gorgeous! You know, we make a really good planning team."

Ivy nods, "Yes we do. Plus, I ran that by Catherine last night and she approves and Jackson just wants to make me happy," Ivy pager soon starts going off, "Oh, trauma in the E.R. I'll catch up with you in a little bit. Don't plan the rest of my wedding without me!"

"No promises!"

Arizona comes into the trauma room where Murphy and Ivy are looking over a patient, "What do we got?"

Ivy tells her, "Ella Holmes, 6, hit by a car, tachycardic and hypotensive."

The babysitter speaks, "She was on her scooter. She knows she's not supposed to ride it down the hill. I don't know what happened."

"Show me the ultrasound," Arizona looks to Murphy.

"Is she gonna be okay?"

"Are you her mom?" Arizona asks.

The woman shakes her head, "They're out of town."

Arizona looks over the ultrasound, "Interperitoneal free fluid."

"Call C.T. and book an O.R. just in case," Ivy calls out.

"Dr. Shepherd?"

Ivy looks at the x-ray, "Shes got a supracondylar femur fracture. Call Torres, I need to be trauma on this and not ortho. Will that be okay?"

Arizona nods, "Yeah, we're on the mend."

She nods, "Good to her. Murphy, go with Torres and Robbins, I'll join as soon as I can. Pressures dropping."

"What is that?"

"I can't wait for a C.T. prep her for the O.R.," Arizona tells the team.

The babysitter questions, "I have to call her parents. What am I supposed to tell them?"

Murphy tells her, "I'll update you soon as we know."

Arizona calls out, "All right, let's move, people."

"Lets go," they start rolling her out. Once they get the patient situated, Ivy leaves them to it and promises to check in on them soon.

Ivy walks past Emma in a conference room and knocks on the door, "Hey, sorry to bother you but are those muffins?"

Emma laughs, "Yes, I brought them in specifically with you in mind. I figured you and the babies would be hungry."

"Oh, you are my savior. I was just about to go grab something to eat. Thank you, thank you," Ivy grabs a couple and sits down.

"Its just a couple of muffins. Meredith Grey is your sister in law, right?" Emma asks.

"Yes, she's married to my brother Derek, why?" Ivy munches on a muffin.

"I'm cooking Thanksgiving dinner over at their house and I was wondering if you and Jackson will be there?" Emma looks over the article she's reading.

Ivy shakes her head, "No, Jackson and I are celebrating it by ourselves this year as it's our last one alone for a long, long time. I would love to have any leftovers."

Emma nods, winking, "I'll make sure Owen brings you some."

She laughs, spinning a little in her chair, "Yes, thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me. I have a patient to go check on in the O.R., I will talk to you later."

Ivy hears yelling and then Murphy storming out, "Murphy, hold up a second."

"No offense, Dr. Shepherd, but I really don't have time-"

"Make time. Cause I have a bigger hold on your career than Robbins or Torres. You want throw a hissy fit because your relationship ended? Fine, do it on your own time. Plus, are you even that interested in ortho?" Ivy asks, placing her hands on her hips.
