Unexpected Love (Editing)

Chapter 106

Liliana's pov

"My name is Dr. Liliana Garcia, I am the head of the department of neurosurgery and that means I operate on brains" I say. Today some kids from a local school are on a field trip to tour the hospital and Richard had all of the Chief's of the different departments speaking with them about our careers.

"Cool" all of the kids exclaim in admiration making me smile

"It's very cool, because I fix the big, squishy, slimy computer that runs your whole body. If the brain goes everything goes" I say

"It is the coolest" Derek smiles walking over and standing beside me.

"And this is Dr. Derek Shepherd. He's a member of our board and..." Richard pauses. I guess he was trying to figure out how to introduce Derek since today is his first day back after being in town for the past two weeks, but not everyone knew he was returning as a surgeon.

"And I'm also Dr. Garcia's best friend and a neurosurgeon as well. I work for her" he smirks

"Your best friends your boss" one of the kids asks making me smirk

"Yeah, my best friend is my boss" Derek laughs

"Okay kids, let's keep it moving. Thank you doctors" Richard smiles

"No problem" Derek and I say before Richard and the kids walk away to continue the tour

"How hard was that for you to say" I smile as we start walking down the hallway

"It just rolls off the tongue" he smirks

"Sure it does" I laugh

"You enjoy being my boss again just so you can taunt me" he laughs

"Relax Shepherd, I'm not that bad" I laugh, before my pager goes off. I look down and see that it's Jackson paging me making me sigh because I know that he's probably just paging me to argue, since that's all we seem to do.

"What's wrong" Derek asks

"Nothing, its just Jackson's paging me" I sigh

"Isn't that a good thing? That means he's talking to you again, right" he asks

"Only when he has something to argue or yell at me about, which I guess is better then complete silence" I sigh. For the past 2 weeks since I've been back Jackson has pretty much been ignoring me as much as he can, even though I've still been trying to talk and communicate with him as much as I can which hasn't done any good in helping our relationship.

"I'm sorry" he sighs sympathetically

"No, don't apologize, it's fine. It's not your fault. I guess I'll go meet him. Wish me luck" I sigh before walking away to a on-call room where Jackson paged me.

"Hey" I smile walking into the room and closing the door

"Hey" he says

"How are you" I ask

"Fine and you" he asks

"Good" I say before an awkward silence fills the room. "So I'm assuming that there's something you want to talk about, since you paged me" I say

"Yeah, I um just wanted to talk to you about the house situation" he sighs. For the past week Jackson still hasn't come home unfortunately.

"Jackson, there's nothing to talk about. I already told you I'm not leaving" I shrug

"I wasn't going to ask you to leave. The house belongs to the both us, I can't make you leave if you don't want to" he says

"So what did you want to say" I ask
