Hellooooo everyone!

After the 10+ *lovely* reviews I received about sunday's chapter, I thought I'd update today too! Loads of you have been asking for me to update more, so here you are :)

This chapter is sort of a filler to the tour around the ward, but there is a little Cal/Connie for you shippers out there ;)

Please review if possible! They mean so much, and thankyou to each and every one of you that has reviewed, favourited and/or followed so far 3 -Sophie x

The following morning, Zoe was awoken by the sound of her phone ringing in her bag. Still bleary eyed, the clinical lead fumbled in her bag, pulling out her phone to see Cal's caller ID flashing on her screen.

"Cal," she mumbled, "what's up."

"Connie is in hospital and you're asking what's up?!" He exclaimed down the phone. It was then that Zoe realised she was still in the hospital.

"Oh yeah, sorry, you woke me up. Uh, she's going to be ok, we're going to see her in-" she pulled the phone from her ear to check the time- 9:55am. "5 minutes. I'll text you."

"Make sure you do. Tell her I'm thinking of her."

"I will. See you later." Zoe said, yawning as she ended the call.

"Max." She said, shaking his arm. "Max!"

"Mm?" He muttered, eyes still closed.

"We need to go check on Connie, Cal's worried sick."

"Screw Cal, I'm knackered." He said, yawning and turning his head the other way.

Zoe sighed. He wasn't going to get up voluntarily anytime soon. She spotted her drink from last night on the coffee table, and grinned. She picked it up- and threw it on his face.

"Shit!" He exclaimed, jumping up. "Zo what the hell?!"

"You wouldn't get up!" She said, putting her hands up. "Come on, let's find the ice queen."

"Fine." He sighed, grabbing his jacket and following Zoe out the door.

They caught Dr Collins just as she went past them.

"Oh, she's in cubicle 3- Nurse Jenkins here will take you." She smiled, grabbing a nurses arm as she scuttled past.

The nurse led them to her cubicle where Connie was sat up, looking rather bored.

"Morning. How're you feeling?" Zoe said sympathetically, going to sit on the chair next to her bed.

"Crap." She said simply, "and really, really bored."

"Yeah that sounds like a hospital stay." Zoe grinned. "I get you'd much rather be Dr Collins wouldn't you."

"Any day. Excuse me-" she asked the nurse that was checking her notes, "when can I be discharged?"

"I'll go ask Dr Collins." She smiled and went off through the curtain.

"Cal's very worried about you." Max said, "are you up to dropping him a text?"

Her face flushed slightly and she smiled. "I suppose. Do you have my phone with you?"

"Yeah I picked it up when we left. Here." She handed it to her and she unlocked it immediately. "He sounded pretty frantic on the phone this morning."

"I'll call him now." She gave them a pointed look and Zoe stood up abruptly.

"Come on you, let's get something for breakfast. Want anything getting?" She asked Connie who had her phone to her ear. She shook her head and smiled when the sound of Cal's ear filled the phone.

Zoe and Max left, leaving the consultant alone.

"Connie! Oh god I was so worried- are you ok?" He said in a rush, the panic evident in his voice.

"Cal, I'm fine, just a little sickness is all." She replied firmly, trying to stop the smile from creeping into her lips. "It's harder than you think, this being a woman lark."

"Can I come visit?" He asked.

"I don't know," she said just as Dr Collins appeared from the curtain, "can I phone you back? My doctors here."

"Yeah that's fine. Don't leave it too long."

"I won't. Talk soon." She smiled and cut him off, looking up at the doctors kindly face.

"Nurse Heath says you'd like to know when you can be discharged?" She asked.

Connie nodded.

"Well looking at your notes-" she flicked through the pages on the clipboard, "you should be good to go around lunch if that's ok? Extreme problems caused by the menstrual cycle aren't as rare as you think, meaning there are many ways they can be treated nowadays. I'm going to give you this pill-" she handed her a small pharmacy bag, "we've been giving you the same thing just in liquid form, seeing as you were unconscious when you were brought in. Take one now then after every meal until you finish them, ok?"

"That's brilliant, thankyou. I'll tell you something, I'd much rather be the doctor than the patient." She admitted.

"You're a doctor?" The woman said in surprise.

"Yeah, Consultant actually. Back in England."

"I had no idea! What's it like working in the queen's homeland then? I've always wanted to go."

"Worse than here I can tell you that." She chuckled. "I'm a cardiothoracic surgeon by trade but I'm taking some time off in the ED department instead."

"That's a big change. Huge thrill though isn't?" Dr Collins smiled, placing her notes back on the holder at the end of her bed.

"Yes. I miss Darwin though- our cardio ward. I gave birth to my daughter there. It will always be my one true home." She smiled before yawning.

"Aw. Well, I'm afraid if I stayed any longer my boss would be after me, so I have to go- I'll be back at lunch to discharge you."

The doctor left just as Zoe and Max returned, eating a breakfast bar each.

"Reassured Cal?" Zoe asked, throwing her wrapper in the bin.

"Yeah. Dr Collins said I can be discharged at lunch, so we can still make the tour."

"Oh I forgot about that! Yeah, I'll text Si and tell him what's happened. Are you sure you feel up to it though?" Zoe said, getting her phone from her pocket.

"Zoe, I'm not going to turn down a visit to the worlds best cardio department. Even on my last legs." Connie said, looking at her.

"Yeah I can imagine that actually." Max said, grinning.

Back at the hotel, the group had congregated for breakfast.

"Where's Connie, Zoe and Max?" Lofty asked, looking round.

"I need to talk to you about that." Charlie said, eyes scanning them all.

"Last night Connie was taken rather ill. She had bad vomiting and was generally not too good. Zoe called her an ambulance and her and Max went with her to the hospital. The latest from Zoe though says that she's fine now, and the tour round the hospital will go ahead as planned."

"When are we going?" Cal asked, fidgeting in his seat.

"Tour starts at 11, so we'll be getting the bus at half past 10 at the end of the street." Charlie replied, tucking into his breakfast. "In the meantime, eat your breakfast- I'm starving."

They ate quickly and waited at the bus stop until half past when their bus arrived.

After 20 minutes, the group got off and made their way to the entrance, where Max stood waiting for them.

"Hey guys, you all alright?" He called as they approached.

"Great thanks. Where's Connie?" Cal asked, straight to the point.

"Getting discharged and changed, Zoe's with her." He said. "Come on."

They traipsed inside and Max led them to reception.

"Hi, we're here for a tour with Simon Killingham?" He asked.

"Behind you!" Came a pantomime like voice. Max turned to find him, Zoe and Connie stood behind them.

"Connie!" Cal exclaimed, hugging her gently. "Are you alright?!"

"I'm fine Cal, don't worry." She said slightly irritably, but she smiled all the same. "The doctors gave me something to stop the bleeding and some tablets to stop the nausea so I should be ok."

"Right everyone, on we go!" Simon said, leading them over to the lifts.
