AFTER MAEVE AND MARK'S conversation, mark and lexie were paged to the hospital. he muttered a 'i'm sorry' to maeve right before he left

"so, what are we going to do?" sofia asked her older sister as the two were in maeve's bed

"well, we have until 9pm till we have to go to the hospital to drop you off with callie and arizona" maeve told her as she pokes her sister's cheek

"why can't i just stay here with you?" sofia pouts

"because dad, lexie, and i are going to joe's and little girls aren't allowed" maeve explains

"fine" sofia sighs "but can we sing along to high school musical 2?"

"you don't have to ask me twice" maeve smiled at her little sister

♥︎

"i'm leavin' today
'cause i gotta do what's best for me
you'll be okay
i've got to move on and be who i am
i just don't belong here, i hope you understand
we might find a place in this world someday
but, at least for now
i gotta go my own way" maeve sung into the hairbrush she was holding

"what about us?
what about everything we've been through?" sofia sings troy's part, seeing as she begged for maeve to be gabriella because of her beautiful voice

"what about trust?" maeve questions as she kneels in front of her little sister

"what am i suppose to do?" sofia shrugs her shoulders

"i gotta leave but i'll miss you" maeve held her hand

"oh so, i've got to move on and be who i am" maeve sung

the two were so distracted that they didn't hear the door open. nor did they check if the door was locked after mark and lexie left

"why do you have to go?" a voice calls out from behind causing the two to let out a scream, maeve immediately brings sofia into her arms

maeve looked up to see a familiar face "are you kidding me!" she exclaims as she grabs the pillow and throws it at jackson "why would you do that!"

jackson furrowed his brows "w-why i brought you a balloon and flowers? well because it's your birthday" he says as he holds the balloon and flowers up

maeve sighs before letting go of sofia, who gladly goes back to watching the movie "dad really needs to start locking the door" she sighs before getting up to meet jackson

jackson chuckled "happy birthday big sloan"

"i've told you not to call me that" she smiled as she leans up to wrap her hands around his neck, bringing him into a hug

he leans down to kiss her cheek "well since you won't let me call you mine, you'll just have to put up with it" he whispered with a smirk

"how would vic react if she heard what you just said?" she teasingly questions

"our relationship is platonic" he shrugs as she rolls her eyes "let me take you out tonight" he suggests

"no" she immediately shuts down

"what? why not?" he questions confusedly

"because i already have plans" she said as she walks over to the kitchen with the flower. jackson trailing behind her

"with who?" he continues to pry

"with dean" she says as she glances up to see his reaction

jackson gave her a deadpan look "are you kidding me?" he questions as he tries not to raise his voice "you can't seriously go out with that prick, maeve he freaking cheated on—

"i'm kidding" she smirked "i just wanted to see you all riled up" she lets out a chuckle

jackson sighs before walking in front of her, placing one hand under her chin, slowly lifting it up to connect their eyes. her breath hitched, she slowly debated whether or not to lean in to connect their lips. although her decision was ruled out when she felt his lips on hers. she closed her eyes, all memories of their previous kisses flooding back

almost missing the feeling. she slowly begins to kiss back, her hands tangling themselves around his neck. jackson smirked into the kiss as his hands immediately go to the back of her thighs, lifting her up onto the kitchen counter, their lips still connected, molding together

"t-this is a bad idea" she mumbles in between the kiss

"trip down memory lane" jackson mumbles back

"s-sofia is in the l-living room" she manages to speak out

jackson pulled away, before nodding "then we should take this to your room" he said before lifting her back up and heading to her room

as she laid in her bed, jackson was hovered over her "jackson" she chuckles softly as he kissed her neck and moved up to her lips "we shouldn't keep doing this, my dad wouldn't kill you, but he would make your life at the hospital hell" she said in between their kisses

he pulled away before shrugging "it's worth it"

maeve slowly nods "one last time, wouldn't hurt anybody"

"there she is!" george exclaimed as maeve walked in the bar, jackson trailing behind her

"georgie" maeve smiled brightly as she hugged him

"happy birthday maevey" he said excitedly with a huge smile

amelia pushed past george and brought maeve into her arms "happy birthday little mchottie" she said with a huge smile, rocking their body's left and right in a hug

"happy birthday sweetheart" meredith said, as it was her turn to hug her goddaughter

"okay okay okay stop hogging my daughter!" mark called out as he walked over to his now twenty-three year old. his hand hung over her shoulder, he handed her a beer "as you can see everyone just invited themselves" he rolled his eyes before dragging her away towards the bar

"hey! she's my goddaughter, which makes me her second father" derek called out as he walked towards maeve. placing an arm on her shoulder "happy birthday honey" he side hugged her

as time went on maeve found herself at the island asking joe for another round of shots. a figure came to stand next to her, she didn't bother to check who it was, not caring who. it wasn't until they spoke up "hey sweetheart"

maeve immediately turned to look up and see the one person who hurt her the most "what are you doing here?" she questioned

"you didn't think i'd forget your birthday, did you?" he questioned as he stared into the green eyes he missed

maeve scoffed "actually i did, seeing as you forgot how to respect a woman"

across the room, jackson was mentally throwing daggers at dean. mark being held back by lexie and derek

"j-jackson are you okay?" georgie questioned when he sees the angry look on his face

"w-what?" jackson questions as he removes his eyes from maeve and dean

"i-it just looks like you're almost jealous" georgie said with a shrug as he followed jackson's glance

mark furrowed his brows "are you jealous, avery?" he asked

jackson shook his head and scoffed "why would i be jealous?"

mark's thoughts were running wild. for the past year, he has seen jackson and maeve hang around constantly, the look jackson gives her seems a look more than friend, sometimes mark would notice that jackson stayed over at maeve's apartment, he'd even notice that maeve would come to the hospital to have lunch with jackson

all of his thoughts concluded to one thing, he sighs before glaring up at jackson "are you sleeping with my daughter, avery?" the whole table went quiet

derek on the other hand, had a small grin. it took him a whole year to realize? he thought

jackson's eyes widen a bit "w-what n-no!" he stuttered, mark immediately knowing he lied

mark glared at lexie "did you know?!" he asked

lexie immediately shook her head "n-no" she said truthfully

"m-mark—

"don't lie to me, avery!" mark raised his voice slightly

"she's my best friend, just like callie's yours" jackson told him

mark scoffed "oh really? well i've slept with callie before!" the shout causing maeve and dean to turn around

"what the hell" maeve muttered before walking over, not knowing dean was following behind her "dad, stop shouting"

mark glared at his daughter, not caring dean was behind her, unlike jackson "how long?" he questioned her

"mark now isn't the right t—

"stay out of this derek!" mark cut him off

"how long what?" maeve asked confusedly as she glanced to jackson then lexie

"how long have you and jackson been sleeping together!" mark harshly questioned

maeve's face suddenly went pale, her eyes slightly widen. she glanced at jackson who shook his head. dean let out a scoff "what a shocker" he said sarcastically as he shook her head and walked away

maeve looking over "dean wa—

before she could even go after him, her dad spoke up "maeve carolyn sloan! answer the damn question!"

"mark, stop" lexie tried to get him to calm down

mark noticed she wasn't talking, so he got out of the booth and gripped jackson's shoulders and lifted him up against the wall "how long!"

"dad! stop!" maeve came over to grip mark's forearm

derek and george tried helping but mark wouldn't budge "it was only a few times!" she shouts, as mark immediately lets jackson go "only a few times" she repeated as mark glared at her "why does it matter anyways? i'm 23, i can have sex with whoever i want!"

"she has a point" cristina called out with a shrug, meredith hitting her shoulder

"it matters to me because you're my daughter and you're like a son to me, do you see how messed up this looks? and worst of all, to go behind my back?" he shakes his head with a scoff. he goes back to the booth to grab his leather jacket, before walking back to maeve "i thought you could trust me" he nods "happy birthday kiddo" he kisses her temple before walking out of the bar

maeve felt tears brim her eyes "maeve—

jackson tried to console her, but she just shook her head. she walked over to the bar and grabbed the nearest bottle of tequila. ignoring everyone's calls she walked out of the bar and walked to her apartment

from minutes being there, a knock interrupted her drinking. she walked over to the door and opened it. her eyes widen, but a smile tugged on her lips "dean" she chuckles softly

"you're drunk" dean said skeptically

"a little" she chuckles before letting him in. she lead them over to the couch. maeve taking a seat across from dean

"so you and jackson?" he questioned as he shook his head

maeve sighs "not you too, you can't tell me who i can and cant have sex with, because it's none of your business anymore!"

"did you have sex with him when we were together?" dean argued

"oh, my god. you're insane!" maeve shouts

"what? you're avoiding the question" dean argued

maeve sighs as she sits back on her couch, glaring at dean "no, i never had sex with jackson while we were together" she said truthfully before getting up, she walked over to him, straddling him

"maeve—

"i've missed this" she grinned as she runs her hands through his hair. dean's hands placing themselves on her hips 

"maeve, you're drunk" he says before maeve started placing kissing on his neck

"mm-hmm. so?" she mumbles through the kisses

"mae—

maeve cut him off by grabbing his chin "you don't want this?"

"of course i want this, but i—

she cuts him off by placing her lips on his "then i see no problem" she chuckled into the kiss
