Zoe's hands shook as she held her phone, she had to keep her head firmly looking out of the window, trying to avoid eye contact with Nick not wanting any more tears to fall. That had become a regular occurrence, the crying and upset. Nick sensed the tension and resting his hand on her thigh. "Zo do you want me to call them?" He asked tentively. She instantly shook her head "no it has to be me who does it". She had to call Matts parents, he had to see Jasmine. Running a hand through her hair, she scrolled through her contacts and sighed as she found Anne. "What if she won't let me see Jasmine" She asked finally looking at nick. He look deep into her eyes that at that moment were sunken and lost from the recent sleepless nights. "Then we'll think of something else but Zoe please promise me you won't stress yourself out too much you should really be recovering from the crash" he said soothingly rubbing circles on her leg. "Nick she's my daughter of course I'm going to be a little stressed out" she replied raising her voice slightly "hey hey it's ok" he chuckled a little raising his hands as if to surrender. "I just don't want you to make yourself ill" "yeah well I'm a doctor I'll be fine" she shrugged turning her attention back to the phone sat on her lap. "Ok here it goes" she muttered to herself letting the phone ring. It rang a few times and Zoe half considered giving up but soon enough the frail voice of Anne was heard on the other line. Zoe sat up a little "hello" Anne said "Anne, it's Zoe" "Zoe, zoe" Anne repeated mulling over the name in her head before it fiablly clicked, her sons ex "Zoe as in Zoe Hanna?" "As in Zoe Hanna" Zoe replied slowly rubbing the back of her neck. "What do you want?" "I want to see my daughter Anne" "why now you've never been bothered before" this was hard for Zoe she had to admit to herself that she really had let down Jasmine "she came to see me the other day" "what!" "Jasmine came to find me at holby" "I'm sorry I can't I can't" Anne stuttered "Anne no don't go please please" Zoe begged the desperation clear in her voice. She was cut off. Zoe slammed her fist on her lap and kicked the car door. "Zo what happened, what did she say?" Nick asked pulling over. She ignored him her head facing forward and her eyes glazed over. He took her hands "Zoe Zoe" he said a little louder making her jump slightly "what did she say?" He asked again but slower and softer this time. "She didn't she put the phone down on me" She replied the hint of disappointment evident in her voice. "Well we're not giving up just yet" Nick said determined to keep Zoe happy. She nodded and glanced at the message that had just come through on her phone. Her face lit up slowly making nick smile, he loved the look of contentment and happiness on her face. "Oh my god she's given me their address" she said after a moment of silence. She turned to face Nick who was also now beaming "she's given me their address" she said again, still quite taken back that she had actually just been given permission to see her daughter again. "That's brilliant Zo" he smiled at her she kissed him quickly "hm what was that for?" He asked a cheeky grin playing at his lips. "That was me saying thank you for everything" she replied mirroring the smirk. "Is there another thank you somewhere?" He asked chuckling a little to himself "there might be it depends on how good you are" she whispered seductively both their eyes glittering. He pulled her in for another kiss "come here you" they kissed again, a lot deeper and meaningful and as usual they both got completely caught up in it they hardly noticed the outside world.

They pulled apart smiles still dancing on their lips. "I should be a good boy more often" he laughed. Zoe tilted her head slightly to admire the perfect man she had won back and wiped away the trace of her lipstick from his bottom lip. "That red suits you" she joked flashing him a cheeky wink. "Ah but not as much as it suits you" he smirked watching her intently as she applied her lipstick again in the mirror. She caught him staring at her "what?" She asked smiling. "Nothing nothing" he replied his eyes still fixed on her. "What is it Nick?" She seemed a little annoyed now "I just love seeing you smile I've missed it" he admitted. "And I've missed being this happy I love you, you know" she told him firmly "that's nice to know Doctor Hanna" he replied driving off again. She shook her head at him and raised her eyebrows. "Oh and I love you too especially when you pull that face, very sexy" he laughed kissing her cheek briefly.

After about half an hour of sarcastic comments, even more laughs and cute lines, Nick pulled up outside Anne and Daves house. He studied Zoe's facial expression as it soon melted from her radiant grin to a serious slightly worried face. He took her hand and held it tight "we're in this together" he told her and she nodded and they headed to the front door together.

Nick knocked on the door and a few moments later Jasmine came bounding down the stairs. She flung the door open to reveal a smug looking nick she simply rolled her eyes- a lot he was all to used to with Zoe. "What do you want" she spat looking directly at Zoe "your mum and I wanted to see you jasmine" he began but he was interrupted by her attempt of closing the door. Nick picked up on this and stick his foot in the way. "Can you move your foot please" she asked complete with a sarcastic smile. He kept perfectly still trying to hold back the laughter. Jasmine brought one leg forward and stamped hard in his foot with her heels. He winced "crap you're just like your mum you know, the obsession with killer heels clearly runs in the family" he tried to laugh but pulled a face at the pain in his foot. Zoe and Jasmine exchanged looks and both burst out laughing. This made Nick immensely happy, it might have only been a laugh but it was a precious moments between the two of them that he knew Zoe would certainly treasure forever. Anything that even triggered that beautiful smile on Zoe's perfect face, was good enough for him and seeing Zoe and Jasmine clearly so alike made him increasingly proud, it didn't matter that Jasmine wasn't his. He had met her once and already she felt like a part of him he had been missing for so long. Just like did. They all knew that no matter how much they could try to deny the chemistry between the three of them, they would undoubtably end up living happily ever after. Maybe not the typical happy ever after but their slightly compromised idea of it. Perfect.
