I'm back with a new story, and yes a Holby one this time! As some of you may know I ship Jac and Zosia like crazy (although I will ship Jac with anyone she lays her eyes on) but I had this idea and simply couldn't let it go. I'm sorry if this first chapter is a bit boring but it's sort of an introduction to the story and what's to come! Anyway, I hope people enjoy this, here we go :) x

"Deep breaths Zosia, it's just another day at work,"

Zosia stood in front of her bedroom mirror trying to ease her nerves. She was about to go in for her first shift on Darwin, and well, to say she was nervous would be an understatement. Every single day working as a doctor would bring a new challenge, but this day would bring that new challenge on a new ward. New ward, new people, a new challenge and even some new scrubs! That was a lot of new stuff for one day!

To make things even more daunting, she didn't know anyone on the ward personally. In fact, all she knew was the name of her consultant - Ms Jac Naylor. Now if she hadn't heard of Jac Naylor, it would have been quite an achievement, considering the woman's name was on the lips of practically every staff member in the hospital, whether it be gossip, admiration or fear of the formidable lady, and from what she had heard it was most likely the last one people were talking about. She knew that working under Ms Naylor would be far from the comfort of her previous mentor, the teddy bear like Sacha Levy. Not to mention the fact that she would be without her 2 best friends, Arthur and Dom.

Well, she thought, that was all in the past now. There was really no point being so needlessly negative about this, after all, how bad could she really be?

"What the hell do you think you're doing? You idiot!" A nurse scurried off in floods of tears as an irritated voice echoed around the room.

Zosia nervously took a step towards the shouting woman.

"Sorry to bother you, but do you know where I can find the locker room?"

The woman turned round with a less than impressed expression on her face.

"Erm, last time I looked, I didn't recall having the words 'personal gps' written across my forehead!" she replied, folding her arms with an even more irritated expression on her face.

"I never said you did?" Zosia was very confused, all she had done was ask a simple question, but then she glanced down to the woman's ID badge.

Shit.

She turned and began to walk in the other direction immediately, maybe it was a better for her to find the room herself, after all she'd have to get to know her way round fairly quickly and this would help her gather her bearings.

A few minutes later and the nervous young doctor was changed into her brand new coloured scrubs. She had to admit, blue was a quite flattering colour on her. She tied her hair up in its usual bun and quickly re-applied some lip gloss before heading out on to the ward. Despite being slightly embarrassed about the awkward encounter with her new boss earlier, she was feeling more confident now. She was ready for fresh start and this could be exactly what she needed.

That's when she laid eyes on the woman again, and all those nervous feelings came rushing back.

"Ah, there you are Dr March - and, oh would you look at that? You're late, and you look exhausted. On your first day as well, not a great start,"

"N-no Ms Naylor, I'm sorry, I can assure you it won't happen again." Zosia didn't know what was happening to her, why on earth was she so nervous around Ms Naylor. For God's sake, even in her head she wouldn't let herself call her new boss by her first name

"Good. What are you waiting for then, follow me," Jac barked. She really hoped Zosia wouldn't be yet another unreliable junior, but the first signs of her behaviour weren't looking very good.

She lead the way towards one of the beds. Instinctively, Zosia picked up the patient's notes and started reading them. 30 year old male brought in by the paramdeics with intermittent chest pains, no history of any medical problems but a few heart problems running in the family.

"So Dr March, what would you suggest?" When she got no reply, Jac was somewhat annoyed.

"Is anyone at home?" she asked, waving her hands in front of Zosia's face as if to wake her from some sort of trance.

"S-sorry, I got caught up reading the patient's notes," Zosia replied.

"Fair enough, although I must say, I prefer my staff attentive and focused rather than those who go off into daydreams," Jac remarked, not able to resist the chance to make a sarcastic comment.

Zosia took a deep breath, she couldn't let that happen again. When she was on Keller, getting absorbed in patient notes wasn't a problem, Mr Levy saw it as simply enthusiasm and determination to help the patient, but Ms Naylor clearly didn't see it that way. Never mind, now was Zosia's chance to prove herself and she really didn't want to mess it up.

"Um, I'd suggest an ECG, Echo and maybe some blood tests too?" Zosia said hesitantly.

"Maybe? We can't afford maybes in this profession, surely you know that by now?" Jac asked.

"Y-yes of course, I was just making sure you were okay with my decision before I proceeded," she replied, walking away before she could be criticised any further.

What on earth is that woman's problem? Zosia thought she wasn't being very fair at all, but she was beginning to understand why Jac Naylor was so well known throughout the hospital.

"Don't take it personally, she's like that with everyone," a voice came from behind her. She turned round and was faced with a tall, young man dressed in the same scrubs as herself. She couldn't help but get lost in his piercing blue eyes, but looked away before it became awkward.

"Hi, I'm Ollie, and I'm guessing you're Zosia - is that right?" the man asked, a small smile creeping on to his face. He couldn't help but notice how attractive the woman stood in front of him was.

"Yes that's me," Zosia replied, blushing slightly. God, what sort of a person have I turned into, she thought to herself, blushing at every opportunity, a stuttering nervous wreck around my seniors, if only Diggers and Dom could see me now, they'd wonder if I'd had some sort of personality transplant!

"Well, hello and welcome to Darwin ward, I hope you enjoy your stay," he said, before turning and walking off in the other direction.

Zosia smiled to herself, she could certainly see herself being friends with him in the future. Suddenly she caught a glimpse of the time, she'd been gone quite a while now, in fact she couldn't even remember what she had been looking for in the first place.

Oh yes, the tests for her patient. She hoped Ms Naylor would be otherwise engaged by the time she got back to him, as she wasn't quite ready to face the full wrath of the senior doctor just yet.
