"Yes I did, come take a seat" Nick sound rather business like
Zoe took a seat and sat down opposite Nick with a puzzled look as she was rather confused why she was here.
"Well I don't know where to start but I wanted you in here because I have been told that you have been ordering nurse around in a rather unpleasant manner and the that fact that you spoke to me like you did earlier"
"What, this is ridiculous and you know it and you know you deserved it because you were being a right pain in the ass to me all day" Zoe snapped
"I also wanted to say that I am sorry personally for how I acted this morning and I feel it had rubbed off on you" Nick got up out of his seat and walked over to Zoe and Zoe turned face him as he leant against the table that was digging in his back.
"You have been unbearable to live with today Nick and to be honest I have been thinking of staying at my mothers and taking the girls" Zoe said as she looked down at the floor as she clearly was nervous at how Nick would react.
"You aren't serious about doing that are you?" Nick asked sounding hurt and tears filled his eyes.
" Know of course not, Look clearly I was wrong in keeping that secret about Ella from you and I know she told you last night when she had her nightmare and I am really sorry but I thought if you knew she saw all that and then you be over protective and you would pull her out of school and don't get me wrong I love how you are so protective of our girls and even me too but you can really over react sometimes which is why we both didn't tell you " Zoe eventually looked at Nick to see that a single tear slide down his cheek.
What can I say and I don't want to say goodbye, I am the reason she looks so hurt and fragile and which is not my Zoe and what the hell I have broken her ,she truly was/is amazing and she is the love of my life and my heart belongs to her which always has and always will.
Nick didn't say anything which was making Zoe worry so she eventually said something.
"I am sorry Nick and I hope you can forgive me and If not then well...I think you know what will happen"
Nick Moved closer to Zoe and knelt down so he was level with Zoe sitting in the chair and lifted Zoe's chin so she would look at him. They both looked into each other's eyes and at that moment they knew that they would be ok and that Nick had forgiven Zoe. Nick placed his lips on top of Zoe's who instantly kissed him back deeply as she and Nick stood up and Zoe wrapped her arms around Nick's neck and Nick placed his arms around Zoe's slim waist.
Nick broke the kiss as he wanted to say something.
"I hope that answers your last question" Nick smiled
"Oh it sure does but I am sorry Nick because I truly love you so much and I will do anything for you like you did for me that time" Nick knew when Zoe was talking about and if he had to do it again he would do it with no hesitation.
Zoe pulled Nick close and kissed him passionately but they both were interrupted by their pagers going off wanting them.
Zoe reluctantly pulled away and headed for the door. Nick and Zoe both decided that they would arrive a few minutes apart to look more professional.
"Well thank you for your cooperation Dr Hanna "Nick said As Zoe opened the door but stopped as she said.
"Well thank you Mr Jordan"
Zoe smiled as she shut the door and walked down the corridor with her heels clicking on the floor past Nick's office and towards the double doors. Nick smiled and watched as Zoe walked past his office heading for the double doors and then disappear.
Zoe arrived to help Lenny out with his patient who was having a seizure and was foaming at the mouth and lenny couldn't find out why. A couple of minutes later Nick appeared ready for action. Zoe was busy stabilising the patient when she felt someone brush past her and place a hand on the small of her back. Zoe turned slightly to see Nick was leaning over her to see how the patient was stabilising. Nick winked at Zoe who smiled because she had her Nick back.
Finally Lenny's patient stopped fitting and began calming down and his blood pressure stopped dramatically.
"Well done Dr Hanna and lenny on saving this man's life" Nick Grabbed Zoe's hand and secretly gave it a squeeze under the patient's bed in case they thought anyone would see them.
"Good work everyone" Nick said cheerfully to the team as he let go of Zoe's hand and walked out of resus with his head held high and with the love of a good woman and that woman was Dr Zoe Hanna.
Zoe left Lenny to take his patient to his ward and headed to the reception desk and stood writing her notes from lenny's patient when Linda came over and asked if she wanted to come for a few drinks tonight.
"You know what Linda that sounds great, I'll bring Nick if that's alright" Zoe asked Linda who was pleased her drink buddy was coming.
"Of course Nick can come and can't wait to do shots and everything" Linda squealed
Zoe laughed at Lindas excitement just like Savannah at Christmas time opening her presents.
"Dr Hanna can I have a word" Nick called from around the corner. Zoe wondered over to Nick who looked very handsome in his Armani suit.
"Yes Mr Jordan "
"Shouldn't you have finished your shift ages ago to pick the girls up?"
"Well yes and No ,Yes I should have finished to pick the girls up but they are sleeping over their friends houses tonight, so we will have a free night Mr Jordan" Zoe said as she placed her hands on Nick chest.
"Oh I see, really well I for one cannot wait Dr Hanna" Nick winked at Zoe and placed a quick peck on Zoe's cheek and walked to his office.
Zoe carried on her duties until her shift ended which were a few minutes ago and headed to the staffroom and placed a layer of lip gloss and placed her stethoscope in the locker and grabbed her bag and coat and met the others at reception.
Linda, Big Mac, Lenny, Scarlett, Tess and Charlie were waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive. Zoe walked over to them but remembered that she hadn't even told or asked Nick yet so she told them she would meet them at the pub. Zoe rushed to Nicks Office to find him ready to leave.
"Ah I'm glad I caught you before you got home, well all the gang are heading down the pub and I told them we'd be there so please come" Zoe gave Nick a dazling smile he could not say no to.
"Yeah why the hell not" Nick Zoe held out her hand which Nick took and kissed and they left the ED and headed for the pub for a much needed drink.
