He slammed her back on the bed as he hovered on top of her, as he kissed her neck, chin and finally her lips. Allison's hands made its way around his neck and pulled him closer. He broke away, as they held eye contact before moans filled the on-call room.

After they were done, Allison and Jackson laid on opposite sides of the bed, as they stared at the ceiling. Weeks after Allison came back they slept together once more while being drunk...and then once turned into multiple times. "This is the last time we do this." Allison said.

"Yes." Jackson nodded. Both of them not wanting to admit their feelings for one another. "I'm going to get some coffee."

With that Jackson quickly put on his scrubs and left the room. Allison sighed as she changed backed into her scrubs.

Catherine Avery was back in town to perform surgery with Dr. Webber. Of course, Allison hasn't ran into her yet. Jackson and Allison are both writing down in their charts at the Nurse's station, when Catherine came and kissed his cheek.

"Mom." Jackson nodded seeing as she was kissing him goodbye before leaving with Dr. Webber.

"You okay?" Allison asked, knowing Webber and Catherine have something going on.

"I'm fine." Jackson dismissed, closing one of the charts and putting it aside before grabbing another.

"Are you sure?" Allison continued, closing her chart, seeing Jackson nod. "Want to have sex?"

Jackson inhaled, "Yeah."

The two walked away from the nurse's station and walking inside an on-call room, to have a repeat from this morning.

When Allison left the O.R. after finishing her surgery she was greeted by Shane Ross, one of the interns, carrying Zola.

"Hey, Dr. Carter." Ross smiled, handing Allison, Zola and her diaper bag, "Dr. Grey was pulled into surgery for her trauma patient so she asked if you could watch Zola while she performs surgery. She has a small fever, daycare won't take her and her sippy cup is on the side." Allison looked down at Zola before seeing Ross down the hallway yelling a quick thank you.

Allison adjusted Zola in her arms and smiled at her, "Aunt Allie is going to take you to the attending's lounge and hang out there."

Jackson entered the attending's lounge seeing Allison holding Zola, as he walked forward and asked, "Why is Zola not in daycare?"

"She has a fever." Allison informed as she bounced Zola in his arms, "It's going down, but since I'm done for the day, Aunt Allie is going to read some books with her." Allison frowned seeing Jackson's gaze on her, "What? Is something wrong?"

"No." Jackson shook his head, as he sat down in one of the chairs, "What are we doing?"

Allison rose an eyebrow, "We are talking about Zola?"

"No, I mean. What are we doing Allie?" Jackson asked, Allison nodded, knowing he's talking about them.

"Jackson, I—-"

Jackson's pager went off, interrupting Allison. He sent her an apologetic look but she smiled at him and shook it off. "Go."

Watching him exit the room, Allison smiled down at Zola before sighing, "One day, I'll confess my feelings to him,."

Meredith walked to the attending's lounge noticing Zola wasn't there,momentarily freaking in the inside Meredith exited the room as she looked both hallways before noticing Allison carrying Zola at the end of the hallway.

"Ah, there she is. There's your mama." Allison pointed at Meredith as she slowly approached her. "I finished with my surgery so I took her for the rest of day." Allison explained to her, turning her head to look at Zola, "Right?"

"Hi." Meredith smiled greeting her daughter as Zola giggled, "You look like you're feeling much better."

Allison nodded, "Well, we read 'Goodnight Moon' a few times, didn't we?" Allison looked at Zola, "And then we talked a few times, didn't you hear Aunt Allie complain." Allison chuckled before looking at Meredith, "Her fever broke a couple hours ago, uh last time I checked it was 99.2"

Meredith held out her arms to pick up Zola but her intern—Jo Wilson, came rushing around the corner, "Dr. Grey. Dr. Grey."

Meredith turned around, "Is she crashing?"

"Melissa's asking for you."

Meredith turned back to look at Allison who assured her, "Go, I don't need to be anywhere."

"Okay." She quickly sent her a thankful look before she looked at Zola, "Bye Zozo."

Allison grabbed Zola's hand to wave at Meredith, "Say bye. Say bye."

"The prodigal Yang returns." Jackson spoke up once he glanced at Cristina, who has returned from Minnesota. "We've missed you."

"Yes. Hi." Cristina raised her hand up as she waved, "Hey, what do you know about the new Cardio Chief—Jeff Randall?"

"Russell." Jackson corrected, "Nothing."

"Yeah. No one named Jeff has ever done anything substantial." Cristina shook her head. Allison approaching the Nurse's station, quietly greeting Cristina.

"Hey, Karev, when you buy Mer's house, can I get my old room back?"

"Nope. No roommates." Alex shook his head, "We're not in college. We're real people now."

"You're selling him your house?" Allison asked Meredith before turning to look at Alex, "I need a place to stay, just for a couple of weeks 'till I find my own place."

"I might not." Meredith answered Allison's question, "He wants me to rip out the floors."

"I'll take the floors as is." Jackson pointed, wanting to move out of his shared apartment with April and Alex as well.

"Why don't you shack up with Avery?" Alex asked Allison, "You guys are boinking anyway."

Allison glared at Alex, while Jackson left the Nurse's station. "I hate you." Allison glared at Alex, as she walked away as well.
