After spending a few more minutes in the bathroom Stephanie decided to go back downstairs so checking her appearance in the mirror she made sure she was as presentable as possible before she made her way back downstairs.

Walking into the lounge she heard Shawn say how he was going to take Rebecca out for dinner. Moving to sit on the couch she relaxed back, "don't feel you have to stay on my account, I'm sure Rebecca will want to get ready before you take her out and it seems like Stuart has gone now so you can leave if you want. I'm not kicking you out, I just don't want you to feel obligated to stay."

Rebecca laughed softly, "you're not offended about what I said?"

Stephanie shook her head, "no I'm not, I don't think it's easy for people to know what is going on in others relationships."

Understanding what she meant and not wanting to cause a conflict Rebecca nodded her head, "I couldn't agree more. Anyway we'd better get going. Paul I'll talk to my friend and get you that information."

Paul smiled gratefully, "thank you, I really appreciate that and everything else you have done today."

Rebecca and Shawn repeated their earlier goodbyes before they actually left this time.

As soon as they had gone Paul shut the front door firmly before he leant against it just taking a deep breath and relaxing. Pushing himself from the door he walked back into the lounge and took a seat, resting his head back and closed her eyes but after a minute he felt eyes on him so lifting his head to see her staring at him, "what?"

Stephanie had thought about what Rebecca had said to Paul and seeing the way he was being now she wanted to know what it was so when he lifted his head to look at her she had her opportunity, "so what information is Rebecca getting you?"

His eyes widened and he slightly panicked at the fact that she asked but he decided to try and bluff his way out of it, "she's going to get me some recipes from her friend who is a chef."

Raising her eyebrow she looked at him oddly, "but you can cook really well."

Smiling softly he shrugged, "I just want to better myself, do something to stretch myself and give myself something to work towards."

It wasn't entirely false, it would make him a better friend, it would give him an opportunity to stretch himself by forcing him to be nice about Stuart and it would give him something to work towards because he could work towards getting her away from her boyfriend. Rubbing his hands over his face he sighed heavily, "so what do you want for dinner?"

Shrugging her shoulders she turned around on the couch and leant her head to the side, "I don't mind, I'll just eat whatever you want to cook."

Laughing softly he looked at his watch and nodded, "I'll go and get started then. You relax there and I will go and make a start on it."

Smiling softly she closed her eyes, she was wiped out right now and just needed a rest.

Unsure of what time his sister was going to be dropping by as he knew how unpredictable her job could be Paul started to prepare dinner making sure there would be enough for three if his sister decided to stay for dinner which he would obviously offer her for going out of her way.

About half an hour into preparing dinner Paul heard the doorbell so went to answer it. Pulling the door open he smiled seeing his sister stood there, "Lynn, thank you so much for doing this."

Hugging her brother Lynn shrugged her shoulders with a small smile on her face, "it's nothing. If she refuses to go to hospital and she's as bad as you say she is then somebody has to check on her and I am happy for it to be me. You're going to give me a coffee right?"

Nodding his head he smiled at his sister, "and dinner if you want to stay."

Her eyes widened and she eagerly nodded her head, "yes please. I'd love not to have to cook for myself tonight so I can just go home and crawl into bed."

Laughing softly he motioned for her to come inside, "well whilst you check the patient out I will start cooking and hopefully by the time you're finished dinner will be cooked or nearly cooked."

Shifting her bag on her shoulder Lynn smiled, "so where can I find the patient?"

Shutting the front door Paul led his sister into the lounge where Stephanie was currently resting on the couch, "Stephanie this is my sister Lynn, Lynn this is your patient."

Lynn laughed moving closer to the couch to shake Stephanie's hand, "it's nice to finally put a face to the name. I can't believe we never met when you were Paul's room-mate, I'm not sure how you put up with him by the way."

Paul looked offended, "hey! That's just mean, I'm not that bad."

Turning her head Lynn smirked at her brother, "you keep telling yourself that."

Stephanie chuckled lowly, "I think it's gang up on Paul day, first it was Shawn and now it's you."

Lynn raised her eyebrow, "oh Shawn came by?"

"Mmhmm, he said you rang and asked him to bring my stuff over."

Chuckling Lynn nodded her head, "I did. Enough about you though, can I please examine my patient?"

Smirking a little Paul nodded his head, "you can but she's not very patient."

Grabbing a cushion from the couch Lynn threw it at her brother's head, "and neither am I after a twelve hour shift so do yourself a favour, shut your mouth and go and make me a coffee and dinner."

Catching the cushion before it hit him in the face Paul placed it on the seat closest to him, "I get the picture. Now don't talk about me too much whilst I'm gone will you?"

Rolling her eyes Lynn turned her attention back to Stephanie to see her sat there with a smirk on her face, "what?"

Stephanie shrugged her shoulders very gently, "nothing, it's just funny watching the two of you interacting. Despite being two grown adults you act like children around each other."

Lynn laughed, "yeah he does seem to bring out the worst in me. So is there somewhere private we can go to talk and for me to examine you please?"

Nodding her head Stephanie slowly swung her legs around and stood up, "sure. Let's go upstairs to my room, we'll be in private there."

Smiling softly Lynn nodded her head and followed Stephanie as she walked out of the room and slowly made her way up the stairs to head to her bedroom so they could have some privacy.

With Lynn now here Paul could relax a little knowing that if she was seriously injured then she was in safe hands but no matter what he could get answers on how injured she was and he could take care of her without fear of hurting her more. Setting to work on cooking dinner Paul felt happier than he had been in the past twenty four hours
