Everything Has Changed ❤️ {Jackson Avery}

I'm sitting in Maggie's plant room as she explains to the interns the purpose of it.

Maggie: plant life improves physical well-being. It decreases anxiety and lowers blood pressure. Increases attentiveness. Parker, leave that tree by the window. I want to forget that we are in the city. This is a jungle. Dr. Avery-Collins, how are you liking it?

Savannah: I love it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to forget that I'm in a hospital for a while. So, adios.

Maggie chuckles as she leaves the room with the interns, then Meredith joins shortly after.

I'm still in the jungle room, and Alex comes in and interrupts our quiet time.

Alex: what are you doing in here?

Meredith: hey. Research. I needed a change of scenery, and, you know, I have to say, the plants are actually very soothing.

Alex: yeah, no kidding. Savannah is almost out.

Savannah: it has nothing to do with the plants. It has everything to do with the fact that I have newborn twins at home.

I was just about to drift off to sleep, but I hear my pager go off, causing me to groan.

Savannah: damn it. Hunt needs me to cover the pit.

Alex: don't fall asleep while treating patients. I don't want to deal with that lawsuit.

I chuckle at Alex as I kiss his cheek.

Savannah: don't worry, Karev. I'll be fine.

I'm in the elevator talking to Jackson about mom not coming back to work this week.

Savannah: she played the cancer card on Richard? Isn't that her new shorthand for—

Jackson: "stop questioning me"? Yeah.

We rush to the helipad and meet with the first gurney.

Paramedic: Kari Donnelly, 50, complains of neck and back pain after a snowmobile collision. BP 150/90, tachycardic with some leg weakness on exam.

Savannah: okay, got her. Let's go.

~~~~~

Amy and Link come towards the trauma room.

A&L: you paged?

Savannah: Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Link, Kari Donnelly– she rolled her snowmobile.

Kari: not on purpose.

Savannah: the films just came up, but I need to help Dr. Avery.

I step out of the room and approach Jackson with Webber.

Savannah: hey. How're we doing here?

Jackson: no palpable pulse in the arm, getting a weak Doppler signal, it sounds like. Got some arterial compromise, as well.

Toby: i-is my mom okay?

Savannah: she's stable. We'll know more soon, okay? Let's make sure you have no other injuries.

Toby: snowmobiling was her idea. She's always pushing me to face my fears. She was right. It was a lot of fun. God, why is she always right?

Jackson: I know how you feel.

Savannah: that's a part of mom life. We've earned the right to always be right.

Toby: I mean, fun til she swerved to miss a tree and flipped us five times.
