Hello people, New fanfic Nick and Zoe based as promised, hope you enjoy it, please leave a comment or review if you can, here is chapter one!

Chapter 1

I don't believe in fate anymore than I believe you can choose the moment you die, but in a strange way I believe I'm in a position of privilege, I'd come face to face with my own mortality, I'd been reminded just how precious and fragile our lives really are, iv had to make a choice and I chose hope.

Nick sat in the ED car park alone reading silently the piece of paper he held in his hand, this little speech he had written years before.
Choice and hope, two words that had taught him so much over the last few months. He hoped he could have saved Yvonne, but deep down he knew the choice he made in the end was the right one.

He took a deep breath and folded the piece paper up placing it in his wallet, he looked up at the ED's emergency sign shining in the moon light, he had only been gone a matter of months but something had pulled him back to Holby.

For the first time in months he felt free, happy in his decision to return to this place, he had never been one to stay away long. He smiled to himself and let out a little chuckle, he hadn't informed anyone of his return, wanting it to be a surprise he felt it best to keep quiet and just stroll in like nothing had ever happened.

Of course he knew nothing ever went to plan, especially when this place was part of the equation, he sat for a few more minutes thinking.

What if people had forgotten him?
What if all his colleagues had for some reason not been able to work in that place without him and left to pursue different paths in their careers?
What if ...
"Shut up Jordan!" He yelled at himself wrapping his hands round his head.

He hadn't realised how nervous he had become, a lot had changed in the last year, the way he saw things, the way he went about things had completely changed, he even thought he looked different and he didn't just mean the appearance of a few grey hairs.
"All roads lead me back to you" he muttered with a sigh pushing the car door open and stepping out.

He was dressed in a dark blue suit, red tie and white shirt. Straightening his tie he took a few steps towards the ED entrance, running his hand over his stubble he began to wonder what to expect.
What would peoples reactions be?
Would they be happy to see him? Here came the questions again!

"Come on Nick one foot in front of the other" he told himself forcing himself forwards and through the doors, down the corridor and into reception, he found a quiet corner where he stood and observed.

Tom and Fletch were stood at the nurses station discussing a patient, Tess was buzzing round cheerfully and Noel and big Mac stood silently staring at a computer screen.

Nothing has changed thought Nick a smile playing about his lips, then a sight of natural beauty came into view, her hair flowing in the breeze coming from the EDs swinging doors, her high heels making a clattering noise as she walked, it was Zoe.

This made Nick's smile even wider, he had missed her, in fact until he saw her walking towards him he hadn't realised how much he's missed her.

"Nick?" She said clearly surprised to see him.
He nodded and took a step forwards "Zoe" he muttered unsure what to say.
"What are you doing here? I thought you were in Michigan working with Anton Meyer?" She questioned her hands now firmly on her hips.

Again he nodded before replying "I was but... but... I..., I just ... It didn't work out"
She smiled and ushered him into her office where she began making tea.
He sat down and loosened his tie.
"So" said Zoe placing a cup of hot tea before him "are you back for good?"

He picked the cup up and smiled "oh yes Zoe, Nick Jordan is back for good"...

Nice short starter for you all there people! Hope you enjoyed reading!
