So Bored

Ivy helps Christopher and Alexus get their coats on as Jackson makes her breakfast, "Jackson, for the last time, I can make my own breakfast."

Jackson smirks, "I know. But, I love you and you are still healing from giving birth, so I'm gonna make you breakfast."

"Fine, but you better go or you are gonna be late," Ivy tells him, giving him a kiss.

"I know, I know," he nods, picking Aurora up, "Goodbye my little princess. You be good for mommy today. I love you," Jackson kisses Auroras cheeks.

"Daddy! We have to go," Alexus stomps her foot.

"Okay, okay. Jeez, you sound so much like your mother," Jackson sighs, setting Aurora down into her bassinet.

Ivy slaps his chest gently, "Thats not a bad thing. Come say goodbye to me and your sister."

The twins run and give Ivy a hug before leaning over and kissing the top of Auroras head, "Bye, bye 'Rora! Have fun sleeping all day!"

Jackson chuckles, "Alright, let's go."

As soon as Ivy can't see Jacksons car anymore, she turns to Aurora, "Now, it's time for our turn to get ready to go to the hospital. Want to go see Auntie Amy, and Auntie Mer and Uncle Owen, and Auntie Arizona and..." She picks her up and makes her way to the nursery.

"-married sex is dirtier than I expected," Ivy hears Amelia say.

"Not the sex, the bragging," Maggie scoffs.

Ivy interrupts, carrying Aurora, "Yes, let's stop the talk about sex, especially since there's a baby in the room now."

Amelia smiles before rushing over and taking Aurora from Ivy, "Hello, my little niece. Oh, she's so cute."

Maggie starts making faces at Aurora as Ivy sits next to Meredith, "Yes, she's adorable but all she does is lie there. I am built to be doing more. I love her, but if I have to sit alone in my house for one more minute, I'm gonna lose it."

"What about the twins?" Meredith asks.

"Jackson thought it would be a good idea that they go to daycare, especially since I'm still recovering. Don't tell him, but it was a great idea," Ivy sighs.

"You're going crazy," Amelia laughs at her sister.

"Absolutely insane."

The women laugh as pagers go off, "Multiple MVCs coming into the ER."

Riggs walks in, "Hey, Pierce, I got a valve replacement. You good in the ER?"

Maggie nods, "Yep, I can cover the pit."

He spots Aurora, "Uh, Shepherd? Why are you holding a baby?"

"Because I'm here. Since you all get to go work in my ER, I'll take my kid," Ivy stands up, taking Aurora back into her arms.

"How are you holding up, Ivy? Everything good?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine, she's fine, just going a little stir crazy."

Riggs nods, "Makes sense," as he goes to leave, he turns back, "And I'm sorry again for asking you out that one time."

Ivy shakes her head, "Already forgotten. Go do your valve replacement."

Maggie turns to her after he leaves, "Riggs asked you out? When?!"

"Uh, sometime after Owen punched him. Why?" Ivy looks between the three women.

"She asked him out. He said no. She's making it a bigger problem than it is," Meredith tells her, walking out.

Ivy chuckles, "Damn, have a baby and miss everything."

As Ivy walks to the ER, she runs into Jackson, "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I was prescribed movement, remember? My incision healed so I'm supposed to get up, get out. I should be walking so I can get better," Ivy smiles.

"You can walk around the block. Or the park by our house."

Ivy nods, "I know, and its a super nice park, but I-I figured you would want to see Aurora and Aurora wanted to see where mommy and daddy work."

Jackson gives her an unimpressed look, "Thats really sweet of you. I did just see her like an hour ago. And did she really-"

"Just look at her face. You can't get enough of her," Ivy smiles as Aurora let's out a little yawn.

"No, I guess you can't," Jackson smiles, hugging Ivy and Aurora to him.

Ivy takes a step back, "Okay, so, we are going down to the ER for a minute, check out how badly they've screwed up my ER. I heard there's a big MVC."

Jackson rolls his eyes, "Really?"

"What?"

"Your gonna take our newborn, down to the ER with all the blood, germs, and dying people?" He points out to her.

She purses her lips, "Right. Damn. Not a good idea," she gets an idea, "Can you hold her for a second, I just need to grab my keys."

He nods, "Hi sweetheart. You having fun with mom-"

Jacksons cut off by Ivy dropping the diaper bag at his feet and walking away, "Bring her back when she's hungry."

"Wha-? Your mom is a trickster. And I fell for it."

Ivy sits outside a room, watching her sister run a code as Alex walks by, "What are they doing?"

She sighs, "Running a code."

Alex sits next to her, "I just froze off a wart."

"I cleaned up a diaper. Although, my body is making food for another human. That's something," Ivy shrugs.

"You got me beat there."

As he gets up, Ivy calls out, "Hey, Alex. Just stay on track. You'll get through this, just have a little patience and be on your best behavior."

He nods, "I'm trying."

Ivy smiles, "Good. Now, go back to the clinic and be a doctor. Not a surgeon, but a doctor."

Stepping into the elevator, Ivy smiles at DeLuca, "Its good to see you back at work."

"Oh, uh, thank you. Dr. Shepherd-Avery," he nods, staring at the wall.

"DeLuca. I may be friends with Karev, but what he did to you was horrible. Look, you better not tell anyone this, but I think of you and the other interns and residents as my work kids. Which means I worry about you all and I'm worried about you. So, if you ever need someone to talk to or keep an eye in your injuries, let me know. For now, keep working."

Jackson sees Ivy staring at an OR board as some nurses hold Aurora, "I would have thought you would have both been gone by now."

Ivy nods, "Oh, yeah, you know how it is with a baby. Especially our babies. Everybody wants a turn. Cause we make cute kids."

"Uh, pretty bad Le Fort fracture in OR 3," Jackson comments.

"I saw that."

"Should have seen the intake. It was gnarly," he tells her.

She turns to him, "How gnarly?"

Jackson smirks at her, "Uh, about 8, 9."

Ivy smiles, "Nice."

"You are bored out of your freaking mind."

"So freaking bored. I can't move as much as I want to, so we just sit and stare and stare and stare. And I love Aurora. You know I do, she's our daughter. She'll make a little face or sound at me, and I'm just overwhelmed with joy. Amazement and delighted," she looks over at her daughter.

"Yeah."

"But then, the delight and amazement fades a little when she goes back to sleep. I stare. And then repeat," Ivy deflates.

Jackson hugs her and kisses her forehead, "Why don't you go check out the Le Fort for yourself?"

Ivy smiles, "Really?"

He smiles, walking over to the nurses, "Has everyone had their turn? Cause daddy would really like one."

She watches as Jackson takes their daughter before rushing up to watch.

Holding Aurora, Ivy walks out with Jackson and the twins, overhearing Amelia, "-And, Mer, you are gonna listen whether you want to or not because that is what a sister does, period."

Ivy nods, "Oh, hell, yeah."

Jackson chuckles, "Here we go."

"Sisters are built in best friends. Most of the time. Look, you three didn't grow up with siblings. Amy and I had enough for everyone. We didn't all get along our entire lives, but we didn't argue the entire time either. I mean, sometimes we would team up to pick on the others. I remember the one time that Katie and I put itching powder in Amys..." Ivy stops laughing when she sees Amelia's face, "Uh, nevermind. My point is, you two are sisters. You two need to get along a lot better otherwise your gonna come to hate each other. Trust me, that's not fun."

AN: so, the reason I have been so busy was because I was officially graduating from high school! Now that I'm done, I will have time to update on a more regular schedule.

As you know, the first few episodes of season 13 April is recovering from giving birth, which is what Ivy is going through now.

QoC: what friendship, in this point of the story, do you want more of?

Thanks for all of the votes and reads and comments!!
