I know it's been over a month since I last updated. And I am sorry but college is hard and tiring.

So here is chapter 21, it's kind of a big one.

I hope you like it!

Chapter 21

Adrianna walked into the residents' locker room at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. Today was her first day. She felt awkward as everyone looked at her.

"Hello." She said as she found her locker. She quickly changed into her scrubs and found her list of interns.

After the long day, she was glad to get back to her hotel room. She smiled at how well today had gone. So far Omaha was better than Seattle.

-.-

"Where do you think she would have gone?" Mark asked his son while sitting at Landon's kitchen table. After a week and a half of sulking in his bed, Landon had finally got up and taken a shower.

Landon shook his head, "I don't know. Anywhere."

Landon sat back and thought about where she would go, when a memory hit him.

. . .

"If you could live anywhere in the United States, besides Seattle and New York since you have lived there already, where would it be?" Adrianna asked one night while they were laying in the grass looking at the stars.

Landon shrugged, "I don't know. And I don't care as long as I am with you."

Adrianna looked at the stars. "Nebraska." Was all she said.

Landon looked over at her. "Nebraska? Why would anyone want to live there?" He asked.

"I just like the place. Everyone seems happy. And there are tractors and corn. And it seems homey." She said with a shrug.

Landon nodded, "Okay, if we ever have to re-locate away from Seattle. Nebraska it is."

. . .

"I know where she is." Landon said suddenly.

Mark looked up at him, "Where?"

"Nebraska." Landon told his father as he got up to get some things.

"Wait, where?" Mark asked following Landon up the stairs. "You mean Nebraska, as in the state?"

Landon nodded and continued to throw things into a bag.

"Why?" Mark asked questioningly.

Landon shrugged, "I have no clue, she has just always wanted to go there. I am going to find her."

Mark nodded, "Go get her back."

Landon rushed out of his house and drove to the air port.

He barely made it in time for his flight. But he was glad he did. He smiled as the plane descended into Omaha. He was going to get his wife back

-.-

Adrianna smiled as she stood in the scrub room. Today she was assisting an attending on a skin graft. As she was washing her hands a wave of dizziness passed over her. She shrugged it off, and continued to scrub. When she was done she turned to walk into the OR, and tripped. She put her hands out to catch herself, but she hit her head on a metal rack. She lay on the floor, knocked out, and that is how Alvin found her.

-.-

After the plane landed Landon pulled out his phone and tried to call Adrianna. He didn't get an answer which he only guessed would happen. He felt his phone start to buzz in his hand. Smiling he thought it was Adrianna. He didn't even check the number.

"Hello."

"Is this Dr. Sloan? Dr. Landon Sloan?" Came an unrecognizable voice on the other line.

"Yes this is him." Landon answered.

"This is Dr. Alvin Paulson at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. I am calling on the behalf of Adrianna Hunt."

When Alvin mentioned Adrianna's name, Landon's heart did a flip. But why wasn't Adrianna calling him herself?

"Yes." Landon said hoping Alvin would tell him more.

"She is a patient admitted here. Is there any way you can come in. I know you are probably in Seattle, but we need to talk to you in person."

Landon stopped walking, which caused another traveler to run into him.

"Dr. Sloan? Are you still there?"

"Yes, actually I am in Omaha at the moment. I will be at the Medical Center as soon as I can." Landon said and snapped his phone shut.

He practically ran to the front doors of the air port. He saw a cab parked out front. He quickly climbed in.

"The University of Nebraska Medical Center, and as fast as you can get me there." Landon said in a rush.

The cabby nodded, "Okay sir."

Landon sat back and watched Omaha Nebraska fly by. All he could focus on was what happened to Adrianna. Eventually the cab made it to the Medical Center. After tossing the cabby more than enough money Landon hopped out and ran to the doors.

"Hello welcome to the University of Nebraska Medical Center. How can I be of service?" The receptionist asked with wide eyes after seeing Landon sprint into the hospital.

"I need to see my wife, Adrianna Hunt. I was told she was admitted here." Landon said to the overly happy receptionist.

Alvin was standing near the front desk when he heard someone ask for Adrianna Hunt.

"Dr. Sloan?" Alvin asked.

Landon looked up when he heard his name. "Yes, do you know where Adrianna is?"

Alvin nodded, "Follow me. I am Dr. Alvin Paulson, we spoke on the phone."

"How is she?" Landon asked.

"She was in the scrub room, and some how she fell and hit her head on one of the metal racks that were placed in there. We took a CT and an MRI, both show she has a subdural hematoma. It is small, but she will need surgery. We have a great neurosurgeon on staff, and he will take care of her."

Landon sat down in the chair outside of her room. "No." Was all he said.

Alvin looked at him questioningly. "No?"

Landon looked up, "Your surgeon won't operate on her. I am calling someone in." He said as he pulled out his phone.

"Dr. Sloan? I don't know if you can do that. It might be against hospital policy." Alvin said.

Before Landon hit the send button he looked up at Alvin. "That woman in there is the love of my life. We may be going through a rough time, but I still love her with my whole heart. I am not about to let some surgeon treat this surgery like it is no big deal. So I am calling someone in."

Landon walked away and got enough courage to press the send key.

"Derek Shepherd." Landon was thankful he had Derek's personal phone number.

"Uncle Derek, it's Landon."

"Landon, what can I do for you?" Derek asked surprised to hear his nephew's voice. Last Derek knew, Landon was on his way to Nebraska to recapture Adrianna's heart.

"I was wondering if you could help me with a consult and surgery."

Derek frowned. "Landon aren't you supposed to be in Omaha?"

"I am. But when I got here, I got a phone call and it's Adrianna. She has a subdural hematoma. They want some Nebraskan surgeon to operate on her, and I won't let that happen. So I was hoping you could come. You are the best neurosurgeon I know, you even taught mom everything you know. Can you please do this for me?"

Derek sighed, "Landon you know as chief of surgery I have a lot of work to do." Derek paused making Landon's heart drop. "But for you I can come out and work on Adrianna."

Landon's face lit up. By now he was back by Adrianna's door. He looked up to find a scared looking guy standing there and facing him. The guy was holding a piece of paper.

Covering the phone Landon turned to the guy, "You an intern?" He asked.

The other guy nodded, "Here, I don't know what I do with these. They are lab results for Adrianna Hunt. I'm just going to find a storage closet and hide until the end of my shift."

Landon heard his uncle talking on the other end, but didn't pay any attention to him. He looked down at the paper in his hands. Everything looked fine, except for one thing.

"Uncle Derek, when you come can you bring Mom, Dad, Aunt Addie, and Izzie?" Landon said cutting Derek off.

"Yeah sure, but why would you need Addie and Izzie there?"

Landon looked back at the results to double check. "Adrianna is pregnant."
