So here is the last part of the story for 2012. I'm going to warn you now, there's only going to be about four more chapters of this story. But don't worry because I do have a sequel planned.
As usual thanks for all the feedback, it's always appreciated.
This story will also contain Dylan because I like him and I'm sad he left the series. Also, this chapter contains a medical bit and I'm not too good at that so any mistakes on that front are my own and I apologise for them in advance.

Nick had been rushed off his feet most of the morning. He had to wake Zoe up for her early shift, go and pick Alex up from Zoe's mum and then drop him off at the crèche. He'd just had time to grab a coffee before he headed off to work.

Nick pulled up in his usual parking space and headed off into work as normal. Everything seemed normal until he walked through the doors.

"CONGRATULATIONS" Noel and Big Mac shouted.

"You what?" Nick asked confused.

"Well you … and er… Doctor Hanna…" Mac tried to explain in his usual not very discreet way, before walking off sheepishly with Noel.

Nick sighed as he saw Zoe rushing up to him.

"Nick, I am so sorry." Zoe apologised. "I was talking to Linda in the staff room about me and you and I guess Big Mac overheard. I'm so sorry."

"Hey, don't worry." Nick said putting his arm around her and walking over to the staff room. "They were going to find out anyway."

"Find out what?" asked Tess who was busy making a coffee. This caught the attention of all the other members of staff on their breaks.

Nick took a deep breath before speaking. He had no idea how the other members of staff who didn't know were going to take this news. It had been a big shock even for himself. He didn't expect to find himself in a relationship so soon after Yvonne.

"Well, as you all know. I lost my Yvonne just under a month ago. Things haven't been easy but I've had my best friend by my side." Nick looked at Zoe and smiled. "And well… we're together."

The entire staff room went quiet with everyone looking at Nick and Zoe. Nick wasn't sure if they were shocked or happy or what.

"If you're all wondering why I've moved on so quick, all I can say is it wasn't intentional." Nick continued. "I will always love Yvonne. But she would have wanted me to be happy and with Zoe I am happy. That's all. Now come on, back to work."

Everyone left the staff room minus Tess who was still on her break and Nick who needed a moment after his announcement.

"Well congratulations." Tess said cheerfully.

"Thanks." Nick replied simply, before leaving.

As Nick was walking out of the staff room Jeff and Dixie came rushing in with a patient.

"This is Diana Rippon, 67… involved in the RTC… minor head injuries… possible fractured wrist…" Dixie shouted during the handover leading the way into resus.

Nick followed and stood still in thought as the name hit him.

"Mr Jordan…" Dixie said. "Mr Jordan, where do you want her?"

"Oh, um… over there." Nick said pointing over to bay two snapping himself out of his thoughts.
Yvonne didn't talk about her family much. All Nick knew was that they'd emigrated and she was too focused on her career to go. She'd been estranged from them for nearly twenty years. Nick knew she had a brother because that's who he tried to call to break the news of her death to. Diana was a name he had heard mentioned though...

Nick walked over to Diana in his authoritative clinical lead mode.

"Hi there, Diana." He said slightly wary. "I'm… Mr Jordan and you're in Holby City ED."

"Mr Jordan…" Diana said weakly. "Are you the Mr Jordan?"

"Sorry?" Nick asked unsure what she meant, examining her.

"The Mr Jordan who was with my Yvonne." She clarified. "My son, Xavier, had an answer phone message from you… when she died."

Nick sighed.

"Yes, that's me." He said sadly. "Look, it's nothing personal but I'm going to get another doctor to treat you. It just doesn't feel right." He admitted, paging Dylan.

Dylan walked into resus almost immediately.

"What have we got here then Mr Jordan?" Dylan asked.

"Right, Dr Keogh. This is Diana. She was involved in the RTC by the Travis Roundabout. Minor head injuries. I'd also get that wrist x-rayed and a CT scan to be safe." Nick said walking towards the door.

"Okay then." Dylan said getting on with it. "And congratulations on your new relationship status."

"What?" Nick asked stopping and turning around quickly.

"Sam told me." Dylan replied. "You and Zoe are together right?"

Nick looked blank before catching Diana's angry expression.

"Just get her booked in." Nick said before walking off.

Nick knew his relationship with Zoe was going too smoothly. He'd always got the idea from Yvonne when she rarely did talk about her family that Diana wasn't a very nice person and she wasn't going to leave without questions. Which also raised the question what was she doing in Holby anyway?

Not my best chapter. Sorry. But I thought I'd add some conflict.

I hope you all have wonderful New Years!
