I know some of you have been asking for the next chapter so here it is. Sorry it took so long just been concentrating on my other story.

Chapter 4

A few days later Charlotte was discharged home, she had been given an outpatient appointment for two weeks time. The nurse checked Charlotte's observations and reiterated how important her diet was and taking her insulin was. Charlotte nodded. The nurse gave Zoe charlottes drugs and they got ready to leave. Zoe text Nick to say that Charlotte was being discharged.

Nick was in the middle of doing paper work when he heard his phone buzz. He looked at it and read the text and headed up to the children's ward. But first he went to inform Tom and Charlie that he would be up in the children's ward if they needed him and to page him. Nick then headed up to the children's ward and into Charlotte's room to find her packing her things away.

Zoe noticed Nick and told Charlotte that she had a visitor. Charlotte ran up and hugged her dad. Nick hugged her back tight taking in her smells that he should know by now. Zoe carried on packing while Nick spoke to charlotte. "You must be glad you are going home today." Nick said.

Charlotte nodded but looked sad at the same time.

"Whats wrong Charlotte" Nick asked.

"I'm glad to be going home but I'm worried I won't get to see you dad if that's ok to call you that." Charlotte Said.

"Of course you can call me dad and I will be making sure I will pop by if that's ok with your mum." Nick said.

"Nick your welcome at ours any time to see the girls but just let me know first." Zoe said.

Nick nodded and then his pager went of. Nick said his goodbyes and gave Charlotte an extra kiss "that's for Sammy can you give it to her." Nick then went back down to the ED and was told he was needed in Resus.

Zoe and Charlotte thanked the staff on the children's ward and gave them a box of chocolates before heading to the car. Charlotte got in the car and Zoe put everything in the boot before making the short drive home. When they got home Charlotte ran up to her room and laid on her bed. She was so glad to be back in her nice comfortable room. Zoe brought everything in and then checked on Charlotte before making lunch. Once Zoe had made lunch she called Charlotte down. Before they started eating Zoe helped Charlotte with carb counting so that they knew how much insulin that she needed. Charlotte had her insulin and ate her lunch.

…..

At around half two Zoe and Charlotte left home to go and pick Sammy up from school. They had left early as Zoe had arranged a meeting with the head teacher and the school nurse to explain that Charlotte had been diagnosed with Epilepsy. They arrived at the school and informed them that they had a meeting with Mrs Stone. The secretary nodded and told them to get a seat. Zoe and Charlotte sat down. Mrs Stone called them in shortly after.

They had a short meeting discussing Charlotte's needs now she has been diagnosed with diabetes, her insulin. Zoe gave the nurse a spare insulin pen. Charlotte would have her one on her but it was just for emergencies. It soon ended and they went to wait outside for Sammy to finish.

Soon Sammy came outside with all her friends, she was expecting to get the bus home or to the hospital as usual but then she caught her mum and Sammy there. She hadn't realised Charlotte had been discharged and ran over and gave her sister a hug. Charlotte hugged Sammy back. Then all the twins friends ran over and hugged Sammy. "Glad your feeling better and out of hospital" Jessie said. Charlotte said hi to all her friends and chatted to them all for a bit before Zoe said informed her girls they had to get home. Both girls pleaded to stay a bit longer. Zoe shook her head both girls groaned and were annoyed at their mum. Unbeknown to them Nick was coming round and had texted Zoe what food the girls like as he was going to bring a take away home.

When they arrived home Charlotte and Sammy went up to their shared room and were chatting. Sammy was telling her about her day at school. Zoe was tidying the house up and do a quick flick round the house to ensure that it was clean. She was normally a clean person but due to Charlotte being in hospital the dust had built up.

Soon the doorbell went it was Nick. Zoe went to let him in. Charlotte and Sammy ignored the doorbell thinking it was just one of their mum's friends. Zoe called them down to say they had visitor. The girls just groaned as they went downstairs, but both ended up beaming when they saw Nick. When they got to the bottom of the stairs they both ran and hugged Nick. Nick smiled as he hugged his girls.

"What's in the bag, dad," Charlotte said.

"Fish and chips" Nick said smiling. Both girls beamed at this. Zoe took the bag and went to serve up dinner.

"I think someone has to do some carb counting to do first." Nick said. Charlotte groaned but did her carb counting. The four of them sat down to and ate their dinner. Once they were finished Charlotte injected herself with some insulin, While Nick helped Zoe clear up. Nick then spent some quality time with his two children.

Nick had forgotten that he and Yvonne had a date arranged at a restaurant. Yvonne had got their and was waiting for Nick. She was getting frustrated as he was now over half hour late. She text him "Nick where are you, we meant to be meeting up for dinner half hour ago."

Nick heard his phone beep he took it out and read the text and replied. "Hey babe so sorry got held up at work not going to be able to make tonight."

Yvonne got the reply and was very annoyed and stormed home she would be having words with Nick when he got home that night.
