"Well, there's defiantly a bleed, and it's defiantly in her head, temporal lobes maybe?" Dr. Hardy spoke as he examined the scan that Zoe held in front of him "possible
Cerebral Haemorrhage?" The young doctor spoke putting forward his theory "Possibly, but, that wouldn't really explain the sudden vomiting.." Zoe explained as they continued to examine.

"Dr. Green, what do you make of this?" Zoe said calling Amber over, "Well.." Amber looked at the scan for a few moments "it's a temporal bleed which could suggest a cerebral haemorrhage.. but, that wouldn't explain the sudden vomiting so.." The doctor continued instantly proving Ethan's theory wrong and taking the scan out of Zoe's hand. "Jessica, do you happen to know if you lost consciousness after the blow to your head occurred?" Amber questioned her patient who had a bowl placed in front of her to vomit into. "Where am I?!" Jessica shouted out before vomiting yet again into the bowl "you're at Holby City hospital you're in safe hands don't worry" Amber reassured her.

She turned to face Dr. Hardy and Zoe, scan in hand and begun, "well she's obviously become suddenly confused she was up and talking a few moments ago, she's also developed a headache, nausea, vomiting, all out of the blue!" She looked up from the scan she held in her hands "I would say she's having a lucid interval of an epidural haematoma" Amber stated confidentially. "Talk and die syndrome" Ethan concluded. "oh of course!" Zoe spoke in realisation as she walked over to Jessica "she's good this one!" Zoe said pointing to Amber, "she defiantly is, I wouldn't have spotted it myself" Ethan continued Zoe's praising, "good job!" Zoe smiled. Ethan looked at Amber amazed, she smiled toward the ground trying to hide the fact she was blushing as Ethan watched her intrigued.

"What do you make of the new girl then?" Max spoke leaning over the counter "she's defiantly a looker!" Lofty replied "oh indeed" Max grinned. "Cal?" he continued. "Sorry what?" Cal asked completely unaware of the fact he was being involved in a conversation as he had been watching Amber and Ethan work through the window of their room, "are you alright, you seem a bit off today?" Lofty questioned seeming concerned. "Yeah yeah I'm fine I was just in a world of my own then" Cal smiled looking down at some notes he held in his hand. "So what do you think?" Max urged yet again. "Of what?" Cal asked still confused. "Amber!" He spat out. "Oh yeah she seems nice" Cal replied seeming to have no interest.

"Nice" Max echoed Cal's words, "nice!" He repeated once more in disbelief "no mate, she ain't "nice" she's a goddess!" Max explained. "sure yeah she's pretty" Cal agreed. "So, you're telling me the womaniser Caleb Knight is not going to make a move on what could possibly be the most beautiful girl he's ever going to come across?!" Max questioned stunned. "Do you think I try it on with any girl?" Cal laughed shaking his head. "No, she's not "any girl"" Max protested placing his hand on Caleb's forehead "what are you doing?" Cal asked confused. "Checking your temperature, you must be sick mate this isn't like you!" Cal laughed stepping back away from Max "just leave it okay", "no no, that's it! I'm calling a boy's night out! Me, you and Lofty tonight we need to get back your mojo!" Max announced looking towards Caleb.

"You obviously like her" Rita stated "and you'd make a really cute couple" Robyn urged "Go on, ask her out, you know you want to!" Robyn smiled. "No no, I don't do "asking girls out", surely that's more my brother's type of thing" Ethan protested as he bent over to get his chocolate bar out of the vending machine. "Well then take a leaf out of his book for once!" Rita continued, Ethan ignored her as he stood back up opening his snack "come on, she likes you, you can tell" Robyn said nudging his shoulder "do you think?" He looked up to meet Robyn and Rita's excited gaze, blushing slightly. "yeah!" They spoke simultaneously.

"Here she is now! go on what do you have to loose?" Robyn urged, Ethan hesitated as he looked over his shoulder at Amber who was talking to Cal, "I don't know.." he spoke trying to talk himself out of it. "well if you like her then you better work fast as you're brother's probably already two steps a head of you" Rita gestured over to Cal and Amber who were laughing together, you could tell by the look on his face that Cal was flirting with her. "Just do it..Amber!" Robyn called causing Amber and Cal to look over. "what are you doing?" Ethan panicked as Amber made her way over to them "just go for it" Robyn smiled rubbing Ethan's shoulder, he took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly as Amber reached them.

"You called?" She spoke to Robyn "Ethan has something he wants to say" she explained, Ethan gave her a sideways glance before saying "it's really..nothing it can wait" he stuttered "are you sure?" She smiled, he hesitated looking back at Rita and Robyn who gave him a nod. "Um.." Ethan pulled Amber to the side so he was out of the way of Rita and Robyn aka his biggest fans.

"What's up?" Amber laughed unaware of what he was going to say "I was just.." Ethan stopped for a moment, figuring out what he was going to say before he said it, making sure not to stutter. "...wondering do you fancy going out for dinner after work? To celebrate you doing so well on your first day? I know this really nice restaurant, one of my favourites it's not far, though you'll probably be tired after your first day so I completely understand if you're not up to it I.." Ethan looked at Amber who stood smiling at him uncontrollably "I'm rambling" he looked at the ground embarrassed "of course I'll go for dinner with you Ethan" Amber smiled, Ethan looked up with a grin "really?..great! I'll meet you at reception at the end of shift" he smiled "see you then" she gave him a smile back before turning and heading back to the room where Zoe was waiting for her. Ethan let out a sigh of relief before turning back to see Rita and Robyn who were waiting eagerly, they both gave him a thumbs up and he smiled as he turned for cubicles walking away from the chorus of "aw's" coming from Rita and Robyn.
