One shot based around the fact it's Jamie's birthday today. Happy birthday Jamie. Please review if you like it and would like me to write some more fic's in the future.

Zoe looked at the date on her phone, 18 April. Today wasn't any normal day, no today was a special day as it was Max's birthday. She wasn't normal very good at remembering dates of birthdays and special events, but since she got together with Max she started to remember special dates, like their anniversary, Max birthday and other events. But unlike last year where they spent the whole day together doing something special, this year was going to be different.

Zoe quickly finished her cigarette only to see Max and Robyn walking into the ED car park. She thought to herself "should she stay here and wait for Max to walk past her to wish him happy birthday or should she just got back inside and Ignore the fact she noticed him". She decided to stay

"Morning Max happy ..." Zoe started to say only to be cut off by Iain walking out of the ED door and wishing Max a happy birthday at the same time so Max didn't hear Zoe say it

"Thanks mate" Max replied

"So drinks in the pub for the birthday boy after work" Iain asked Max and Robyn

"Yeah course pal" Max told Iain

"Right I'll get the gang together and I'll see you two at the end of shift" Iain shouted to Max and Robyn whilst walking off

Max and Robyn then made their way into the ED leaving Zoe just stood there like she was invisible and hadn't said anything to them.

As the clocked ticked Zoe knew deep down in her heart she has to tell her husband happy birthday some way. As even after what happened she still loved him and wished everyday what happened never happened. Zoe made her way to the Coffee shop and whilst waiting to be served picked up a card that said "For a special someone Happy Birthday" she knew if she couldn't verbally say happy birthday to Max she could say it with words. Zoe wrote the card and left it in his pigeon hole waiting for him to collect at the end of his shift.

The end of Max shift arrived and before heading to the pub, to more than likely get hammered with the ED gang, he quickly went to check to see if he had any post before leaving work. Max notice a card sat there, he opened the card and read the front before opening the inside to read

"To Max,

Happy Birthday, hope you have a day as wonderful as you are,

Lots of love always

Zoe xxxx"

Max quickly felt a pain in his chest, it was his heart feeling loved again. He knew he had to find Zoe and thank her for the card before leaving to met everyone. He had a quick scan around downstairs before making his way to her office before knocking on the door.

"Come in" Zoe shouted

"Hey Zo"

"Hey"

Max couldn't help but stare at Zoe. She always looked amazing whatever she wore. Zoe knew Max was just stood there staring at her so decided to speak to him

"Earth to Max, what do you want"

Without thinking of what he was saying Max replied "You"

Zoe looked shocked that Max just said that

"Er, sorry I didn't mean that as I don't want you, well I do want you, oh god. Shut up Max" Max told himself. Which made Zoe laugh

"I came here to say Thank you for the card, it was lovely and well I was meant to meet up with the gang tonight for drink but I was wondering if you would like to do something together win me instead. Maybe grab something to eat. As well I would rather spend my birthday with you.

"Max I would love that"

"Should I go and wait for you somewhere else so you can finish your paper work off before we go"

"Nope no need I can do that tomorrow, your more important"

"Okay"

"Right lets go then"

Zoe and Max made their way downstairs before Zoe stopped Max and said "Happy Birthday Max"
