Aphmau's POV

*Play Song*

"Ah Aaron, Aphmau come in....wait....is this the famous Angel?" Eric says, gesturing for us to sit in two chairs in front of his desk, his fingers folded before him in a professional manner, his short shaggy white hair sticking out of his wrinkled skin.

Aaron and I nod while smiling, entering the room.

"Chief, you wanted to see me?" Aaron holds up Angel with one hand and pulls out the chair for me with the other as I sit down, then he does the same for himself.

"Yes, and even though I know you and your family just got back from your......break......I was wondering I would talk to you about......taking over for me......" Eric smiles kindly, his tired eyes showing that he must be looking forward to retirement.

"Sir....you don't mean....." Aaron starts, a bit in awe.

"Do I mean, give you the job of being Chief of surgery and of this hospital?.....Yes.......I do." Eric smiles again, sliding over to Aaron a small stack of paper, awaiting the arrival of his signature.

Oh my Irene!

Aaron?

My Aaron?

Chief of Surgery?!

This is his dream!

I scoot my chair slightly over so I can peck him on the cheek, whispering to him "Good job babe."

"It would be an honor, sir." Aaron thanks politely, grinning happily.

"Yes, but although it would mean you would have to spend extra hours here, answering calls and settling more paperwork and answering surgeons complaints and most importantly, make this hospital your top priority....." Eric says sternly, looking towards Angel and me.

Oh....yeah.....

Extra hours.....

Paperwork......

Top priority.....

Forgot about that part......

I shake my head of my selfishness, remembering this is what he wants so much and that I should support him.....

Even though it would mean less time with him.....

Aaron's happy expression dims a bit, looking to me as he met my gaze, me nodding to him reassuringly, placing my hand on his, supportively.

"Dada...." Angel sits up on Aaron's lap, placing her small meaty hand on Aaron's cheek, looking to him with mirroring bold black eyes.

Aaron chuckles, placing a kiss on Angel's forehead, then wrapping his arm around me, pulling me tighter into his side, leaning down to place his lips on mine, before turning back to Eric, taking one of his hands to push the papers back to him.

"I'm sorry sir, but I can't take your offer........" Before finishing, quickly glances to Angel, then holds my gaze.

".....I already have a top priority."

Aaron......

I smile so widely, my heart was erupting with happiness and flattery, almost crying tears of joy.

He's too good to me.....

Eric doesn't seem in any way angry or disappointed, he just smiles even larger, sighing.

"Ah I kinda suspected that......you are a loyal devoted family man Aaron......I envy that about you......" Eric says, a slight tinge of sadness laced in his voice.

"Thank you, sir...."

"....Which is also why.....I thought I'd ask you if you'd give me permission, on changing the name of Phoenix Grace Hospital." Eric grins even wider, his gaze falling to Angel.

"Why would you need our permission Chief?" I ask.

Eric reaches down to under his desk, retrieving a small piece of paper, holding it up so Aaron and I could see it.

Aaron and I were speechless.

"Sir....."

"I would like to rename this establishment......."

"......Kenmaur Garnet Memorial Hospital."

Have a nice day my crystals!
