The first time the other doctors see April's engagement ring.


"Wow! Be careful with that thing Kepner, you could take someone's eye out," Yang says mockingly as April sits besides Jackson on the cafeteria table he's sharing with her and Karev.

"Got something to prove Avery?" Alex adds eyeing the ring on April's left hand. The huge ring Jackson gave her the night before, which she had told him was completely unnecessary, but that she accepted anyway because it was beautiful and as he said to her, she couldn't reject a present.

"Must be overcompensating for something," Cristina teases leering at them across the table, "spill the beans Kepner, the pretty boy is bad in bed."

April tries to stop her blushing, Jackson just rolls his eyes at her, "shut up Yang," he says as Meredith puts her tray on the table and sits on an empty spot.

"Who's bad in bed?" she asks, causing April blush to deepen.

"Avery apparently," Karev answers between mouthfuls of pasta. "Look at the rock on Kepner's finger, Yang believes he's overcompensating."

Jackson throws his napkin at him as Cristina cackles across the table. "Nobody is overcomp..." April starts to say before stopping herself, realizing that anything she says will only make it worse.

Yang smirks, "so the sex's good then? Are you sure? You don't exactly have any other references, do you Mary?" she asks causing both her and Alex to laugh loudly.

"Ha ha, you are hilarious Yang," Jackson scoffs as April rolls her eyes and takes a bite of her meal.

Meredith chuckles. "It's a very nice ring," she says to them.

The read head smiles. "Thank you, Mer," she says. "I mean I know it's a little over the top, I told you it was," she glares at her husband before continuing, "I mean it's totally unnecessary and extravagant and I'm terrified of losing it, I can't use gloves with this thing and..."

"Hey!" Jackson lightly bumps his shoulder with hers interrupting her rant, "we already talked about it, it's a present, you can't return a present and you can't complain about it either." He quickly pecks her cheek and she smiles in response.

"I know, did I say thank you?" she asks him playfully.

"Maybe, I'm not sure, you could try to refresh my memory," he flirts back tugging gently on a lock of her hair.

"And I'm out! Before you two make me barf," Alex exclaims raising from the table, making them remember that they are not in fact alone at the moment, he gives them an exasperated look before leaving as Cristina pretends to shove her fingers down her throat making gagging noises and Meredith chuckles in response.


AN: First attempt at writing fan-fiction, especially in English, so I'm sorry for any mistakes, it's not my first language, but I tried to edit it carefully.

I intend to continue this as a series of one-shots of missing moments of Grey's episodes, so if you are interested let me know and maybe give me a prompt ;)

Thanks for reading!
