Hi, so if anyone of you know me then you'll know that I really shouldn't be starting another long story that I probably will only be able to finish in about twenty years-if you don't know me then let me tell you I shouldn't be starting another long winded story. However this just popped into my head while I was doing my exams and then this was born-I was watching old episodes and I realised that with the exception of Izzie's daughter nobody on the show really had children from a young age. (Bailey not included) so this was born. I initially wanted to write Alex as a teenage father but I changed my mind so now it's Jackson.

Hugo has just turned 13 in this cannon-Jackson was fifteen which means he was four when he graduated, seven when he finished collage, eleven when he finished Med School and then I roughly think in the Grey's Anatomy timeline it's been about three years what with the continuing throughout the seasons but like I said I'm not sure so any inaccuracies please tell me

If nobody likes this then I will keep it as a Oneshot. However let me know if you want another chapter.

This will be as cannon as I able to write it however the main character isn't cannon so this story is massively AU. April and Jackson will be the main couple as normal however there is the big curveball that is Hugo Avery. I am not a medical expert so if I misspell or get anything wrong then I apologise...

Let me know if you think that this is a story worth pursing and I will update accordingly.

Please Read And Review.

Little Lion Man

When Jackson Avery was fifteen he did something unthinkable-he impregnated a girl. Now nearly thirteen years later Jackson Avery MD is starting nearly his fourth year of surgical residency at the newly merged Seattle Grace Mercy West with his son who seems to create more drama than some of the doctors. Watch the pretty ripples unfurl…

Chapter 1-6x05-Invasion.

"Hugo I am leaving now, if you want a ride you had better be down in two minutes flat" Jackson Avery MD (and yes he was damn proud of that title thank you very much) was stood at the door of the rather modest apartment he shared with Charles Percy (his best friend since Med School) and his son wishing the later would hurry up…being late for work wasn't something that he let happen especially not today on his first day at the newly merged hospital.

That of course meant that he had to factor in his son, the thirteen year old Hugo Jaiden Avery had to actually get out the door so Jackson could drop him off at school on the way to start his shift. One of the only factors about this hospital was that it was closer to Hugo's school as opposed to the other hospital which had nearly been an hour in the opposite direction.

There was a large loud thud from upstairs which meant that Hugo had finally found whatever Converse he was looking for out of the sixty pairs he had up in his room (and where he found the money for it Jackson didn't know, because he had enough debts to cripple himself never mind all the money he had spent on Hugo whenever he had the chance-he just hoped his son wasn't a secret criminal on the side because he so wasn't in the mood to deal with that and it would be just his luck)

He staggered down the stairs a second later looking irritated but still so incredibly good looking, (and yeah that wasn't Jackson being biased at all) Hugo was a generally an easy going kid, with his shock of dark Avery hair and his sharp cheekbones and dark eyes.

It hadn't been easy. The last thirteen years had been single handled a mixture of the best and the hardest of Jackson Avery's life. When he was fifteen his current…well whatever she was at the time had pulled him aside and told him in between second and third period that she was pregnant with his child.

Being the son of Catherine and Harper Avery JR, two world class surgeon's in their own right he knew the options presented with him should his mother or Grandfather find out. Abortion would be the medical path that they would both want, while adoption was also an option they would convince him off. However he had known deep down what he wanted from the second he had seen the little plus sign on the plastic test.

He had wanted his baby.

It hadn't been easy convincing his mother and grandfather both of whom seemed convinced he was ruining his life forever, it had become even more complicated when Livy the girl (who both her and her family were against abortion and other medical practices that made his grandfather scoff at the Sunday Dinner Table) had developed pre-eclampsia during the sixth month. And a month later the baby boy had been delivered via C-Section and pressed into an incubator so fast that Jackson couldn't see anything but a sliver of dark brown hair. He had been sat at the tiny incubator for nearly three hours before his mother had sat down and explained what haemorrhage was and that Livy was dead.

It had been quick and final and bloody and even then at the age of fifteen sat by his son's little cot and not knowing if he was even going to survive the night Jackson Avery had felt like the world was going to swallow him whole and never let him come up for air.

And then by some sheer miracle the baby survived the night and then the next and then the next and then he was taking more and more fluids and then he was able to rest in Jackson's arms and listen to Jackson tell him stories-things that they would do together as soon as he was healthy.

It was also the time when Jackson Avery decided should he become a surgeon-it wouldn't be in any field that consisted of small children or babies, the thought made his stomach turn.

He named the baby Hugo simply because the name stuck. He had been such a small thing back then that the name Hugo seemed fitting. And then he continued. He started college studying biology-he had been forced to leave the nearly four year old Hugo with his mother (whom he suspected did not hate the idea of being a grandmother as much as she had initially let on) and while they had skyped every chance they got it was still like having his insides ripped out every time he missed an occasion that he should have been at.

And then there had been Med School. Thankfully the school he had applied to had a Day Care on site and it was easier to move Hugo down with him and leave him overnight should he have to with some of the other parents he had become friends with.

It was there that he had met Charles Percy, the goofy but yet smart man who had sat down next to him at lunch and promptly bitched about their Organic Chemistry teacher. When they had later moved into an apartment four years later with the eight year old Hugo Charles had been accepting of the whole situation bonding with Jackson's son over old comic books like Captain America and fast becoming the only person Jackson really trusted with his son other than his mother.

They had started surgical training at Mercy West Hospital in Seattle there meeting Reed Adamson the sharp and often tactless (read sometimes bitchy in Hugo's opinion) and the quirky if not neurotic April Kepner. And now after nearly four years at Mercy West the Hospital was now merging with Seattle Grace leading to Jackson's current dilemma getting his son out the front door and into school. There had just been enough time to celebrate Hugo's thirteenth birthday three days before the merger and now he had a teenaged son to deal with.

"Jeez Dad chill" Hugo said rolling his eyes as he finally decided to grace Jackson with his presence. He was at least dressed in a pair of jeans that didn't have more holes in them than cloth which was an improvement on what had previously been. He had matched it with a checked shirt that looked semi-clean and all in all it was a good look for him.

"Did I mention I have a new job?" he snapped letting Charles lock up and nearly dragging Hugo to the car in his irritation. "Lot's of Doctor's I have to impress, people that need to be cut open?"

Hugo rolled his eyes "Only the last five hundred times" he muttered before sighing in the back "I don't know why the two of you worry. What's the worst that could happen?"

As it turned out quite a lot.

Jackson's first impression wasn't much. Dr Hunt seemed much more than capable as did a Dr Bailey than the rest of the surgeons, (at least he suspected that the two of them trusted the residents that they took into surgery to do their job with pleasure), Dr Sloan the Plastic Surgeon spent a great deal of time staring at one of the interns asses (Lexie something) and Dr Shepard apparently sent April and Reed into convulsions due to his good looks despite the fact that he was married and happily so according to the rumours, and then there was the residents.

There was a guy he knew had just died (and he honestly wanted to shake Reed silly when she took his cubby-way to paint them all with the same brush) and there was four left, Izzie Stevens, the resident Charles had been paired up with who had survived cancer and who he had apparently gotten fired on her first day back. Her husband Alex Karev who did what he wanted when he wanted and who Jackson suspected hadn't been fired out of sheer luck, there was the infamous daughter of Elis Grey, Meredith who was in hospital after just having her kidney removed, but she seemed nice if not a little cold, and then there was the Dr Cristina Yang, she seemed more than capable at her job with a thirst for blood but she irritated the fuck out of him (he sincerely hoped that never had a solo surgery in her OR she'd probably stab him if he got in her way with a syringe) and then there were the familiar faces of his colleges, April, Reed, Charles who at the end of the day all looked as exhausted as he felt.

When he staggered home he felt (and probably looked like) shit. Hugo was waiting up for him, Charles had been forced to stay behind to fill out some paperwork regarding the whole 'Izzie Steven's case thing Jackson still didn't understand and he was getting his own ride home.

"You should be in bed" he said gently as Hugo staggered up of the couch from where he had fallen asleep, it was only a little after nine but Hugo had always been an early sleeper, he leant into Jackson who wrapped one arm around his son pulling him close smelling that smell he was still convinced Hugo had kept with him since he was a newborn, it made Jackson's eyes involuntarily droop.

The day had been long and tiring for the both of them it seemed.

"Got a B in Chemistry" Hugo muttered sleepily and Jackson grinned "Good for you-I nearly got tackled by a deranged and homicide father who found out his best friend was sleeping with his nineteen year old daughter"

Hugo snorted standing up if not staggering slightly due to the exhaustion. Jackson made a mental note to make sure he was sleeping probably. Hugo had had problems with insomnia in the past-a mixture of staying up late waiting for him to come home when his babysitter or neighbour had inevitably fallen asleep or gone home or when he had been studying for a test and the Harper Avery Genes had come out forcing him to study until he was past the brink of exhaustion and beyond.

"S'only a hospital Dad" Hugo muttered on his way up to bed having allowed Jackson to at least hug him goodnight "What's the worst that could happen?"

And right there and then Jackson Avery had a horrible feeling that he was about to find out.

Well at least he had Hugo along for the ride.

Next Chapter-(Hopefully there will be a next one)-6x06-I Saw What I Saw-Jackson continues to work at Seattle Grace while juggling parenthood, and deals with the death of a patient and the loss of a work friend.

And let me know what you think of this and if it's worth continuing
