Chapter 28

Ken was asking Ethan about the results of the pregnancy test that he took in CGH. A part of him is hoping that Ethan is now pregnant with their child, that way he could focus on building their family. But a part of him also hopes that Ethan is not pregnant with the reason of not wanting to stress him out if he ever finds out what happened last night.

"Yup! I got the results already and sadly the results showed it's negative. I'm not pregnant Ken." Ethan was also sad when he received the result of the test. He wanted to have Ken's child if possible but since they don't plan on getting pregnant yet that he kept on drinking contraceptives whenever they do it raw.

"I see, It's alright princess we are both still young and we have plenty of time in the future." Ken felt a sense of relief when he heard what Ethan said, although he was a little sad with the result. He is also happy that he doesn't need to worry about stressing out Ethan with an issue that would make him unhappy during pregnancy.

"Yeah, You know what, I pass by the nursery a while ago and I saw a newly born child entering the nursery room. I was told that it was an omega's baby, he was a healthy baby boy and he looks so cute when I saw him. I wanted us to have our baby sooner than we plan Ken. I want to hold our baby in my arms and stare at him or her the whole day"

"*giggle* the whole day huh, I too want to hold our child sooner. We'll just need to see when will that happen but if you want, we could start the process during your next heat. You being in heat means you have much higher chances of getting pregnant."

"hmnn…we'll see, let's just hope that we would be blessed with a baby sooner" Ethan then hugs Ken tightly as he hopes for the future to let them have a baby soon. Ken also hugs Ethan as if he never wanted to let go of him at that moment or even in the future.

The two of them decided to sleep a little bit more, Ken already informed the front desk that they would want to extend their stay until evening. He knew that Ethan would want to sleep until the afternoon that is why checking out at the usual time would be impossible. Ken would be working on the night shift anyway so he can stay with Ethan until their check-out time. He lay down beside Ethan who is now naked underneath the covers, he too removed his bathrobe and hug Ethan as they sleep.

Two weeks had passed since the wedding of Elise and Hideaki, the two would be back from their honeymoon trip. Elise and her husband would go straight to her family home where Mother Aoki prepares all the necessary preparations for their family dinner. The dinner would only consist of Father and Mother Aoki, Nathan, Ethan, Elise, and Hideaki. They didn't invite the elders since they had already set another schedule dinner with everyone else including the whole family of Hideaki.

In the past two weeks, Ethan had been very busy working in CGH and Sato Private Hospital. Both he and Ken graduated a week ago, they celebrated it with the whole family of Ken. Ethan knew about the family dinner thus, he just told his family that they could celebrate his graduation during that dinner. He doesn't mind even if it is a simple family dinner or something else. All he wanted to do was to spend time with Ken more than ever.

But during the whole two weeks since the wedding of Elise, he had to take a lot of shifts in CGH since he was assigned to be an assistant of the resident doctor that just came back from country A. Ethan never thought that the director would recommend him to the president out of all the first-year resident doctors in the surgeon department. Ethan is now considered as a resident doctor in CGH, ever since he passed the licensure exam and obtains his license as a doctor he had been working under CGH for the whole year. He also passed the residency exam that was given to him by Dr. Lin, thus at that moment, he is now making his way for fellowship training which was being done by the new doctor that he had met two weeks ago.

---FLASHBACK----

Ethan is now standing in front of the office of the hospital's president, confused as to why did they suddenly call him out of the blue. It was two days after Elise's wedding and the shootout incident inside the CGH hospital. That incident injured a lot of innocent patients and relatives that are inside the hospital. It was, later on, discovered that the shooter was a relative of a patient that is still in ICU and a coma for two years now. The hospital is taking good care of that patient but the longer the patient stays inside the hospital, the higher the bills get. However, that was not the issue of the shooter, the shooter lost his son in a car accident and the one in a coma was his wife. When he bought his son to the emergency room it was already too late and was declared dead on arrival. He blames the hospital for not saving his son nor making an effort to save him. But the doctor who was in charge of his son did his best even if he knew the child was already dead, he tried to resuscitate him as much as possible but it was too late.

That day when the shooter took his son to the hospital, the whole ER was busy accommodating a lot of emergency response that was brought to them. Despite that, a doctor made his son his top priority since that doctor saw how much blood was coming out of the child. But a dead on arrival cannot be changed no matter how much he wanted. The father/shooter cannot accept it and decided to do the shootout out of anger.

"Dr. Aoki, what are you doing outside the office, why don't you go inside?" asked Dr. Kimura who is also walking towards the president's office. Beside him was Dr. Inoue who is holding Dr. Kimura by the waist.

Dr. Kimura is an omega like Ethan, he is also the lover of Dr. Inoue who is an alpha. The two of them have already been bonded by the mark that Dr. Inoue gave to Dr. Kimura but they haven't decided yet when to get married since they wanted to be more successful in their field of work. The two first met in a private hospital in country A, they were accepted at the same hospital at the same time and at the same department which is the general surgery. Two years after that the two of them started to become a couple and just a few months, Dr. Kimura was already marked by Dr. Inoue. Ever since then the two of them are living in the same house. Dr. Kimura decided to shift to Neurosurgeon a year after he first started, he was a neurosurgeon, to begin with, but since the hospital has a lot of doctors in that department that he was assigned to the general surgery department. He was fine with that since he also has some experience in that field but when there was a slot open in the neurosurgeon department he immediately requested to be transferred.

Originally, Dr. Inoue first started his career in CGH but after working for a year he wanted to gain more experience thus he decided to go to country A. But then he was labeled as a genius doctor even during his university years until he started working in CGH. The hospital director as well as the president doesn't want to let go of a talented doctor such as Dr. Inoue. That is why they were able to conclude having him work seasonal or every six months although such a thing is rare or rather doesn't happen in terms of the medical field. But they have decided it to be that way in which Dr. Inoue agreed as well, however that didn't happen during his first two years in country A, he has yet to establish his grounding in that country. Plus the hospital that he got accepted was a place where almost all the doctors working there were labeled as geniuses of their field. The competition was fierce to all of them that it was so hard for Dr. Inoue to leave the hospital. He was able to keep his promise to the director and president of CGH after four years of him working in country A. And now he and Dr. Kimura and both seasonal senior Doctors in both CGH and country A with the permission as well of the president of the hospital they were working in that country.. Although there are times when they cannot leave country A due to a lot of patients under them they still make time to at least go to CGH even if it is just for three months.
