Summary: When Alesha gets sick, who is there to take care of her?

Nurse Devlin

Alesha Phillips felt awful. It was like any old Monday morning, except she had woken up with a sore throat, a cough and a streaming nose. She groggily got out of bed and began getting ready for her day ahead, not even stopping to contemplate taking the day off work to get better. Alesha wasn't one to give in to illness, but she still dosed up on paracetemol and lozengers before she left that morning.

...

It was mid-afternoon and Jacob had left work early to attend a funeral, leaving Alesha in charge. She was extremely tempted to take a nap at her desk, now being left alone and her cold getting the better of her, but she knew she couldn't, knowing that she had to attend a meeting at the police station to discuss the case they were currently working on. On the plus side, she thought, she would get to see Matt. On thinking of the young detective, a smile appeared on her face. Matt always had a way of making her feel better, and he wasn't even there.

A while later Alesha headed to the station and met Natalie in her office, the older woman greeting Alesha with a smile.

"Hey Alesha..." her smile instantly faltered at seeing the young crown prosecutor "What's the matter? You don't look well."

Alesha coughed as she sat down "Yeah I don't feel all that well, I hate colds!"

"I'm sorry I had to drag you over here, you should have phoned and told us you were ill, we could do this another time?"

Alesha shook her head "No, no it's fine, I've got to get on with things."

"Well I won't keep you long" Natalie said with a reassuring smile.

Fifteen minutes later Natalie and Alesha were almost finished up when Ronnie and Matt came bounding in.

"Gov! Ange is a genius! Tax dodging!" Matt said enthusiastically.

Natalie frowned "Surely he can't have been that stupid?"

Ronnie tried not to laugh "Seems this one is, he's had businesses going back five years!"

"Oh god" Natalie said, before looking sorrowfully at Alesha "Alesha..."

Alesha smiled, knowing what was coming "I know, delving through all the paperwork. Looks like it'll be a late one for me then."

"I hate to have to ask, as you're not feeling well."

"You not well Alesha?" Matt asked worriedly, moving into the room more to take a look at Alesha for himself. Sure enough her pale complexion and red nose told him all he needed to know.

"Oh it's nothing I'll be fine" Alesha tried to assure her colleagues, but sneezed and then started coughing.

Natalie handed her a tissue from her desk, which Alesha took gratefully before sneezing again.

"Babe you should go home, get some rest" Matt tried to reason with his friend, but knew she would not give in.

Alesha stood up in her chair "I'll be okay, i'll bring you the stuff you need by lunch time tomorrow."

"Cheers Alesha, we really appreciate it" Ronnie said with a thankful smile.

Alesha smiled back "I know." Before leaving them to it.
