"Hello, Mr Jordan... Dr Hanna" The young doctor nodded to greet them as he entered the room "We've started Hollie on antibiotics to help fight the infection and we're also beginning to start steroids through her IV line to reduce any inflammation around the brain" He informed them, before picking up the clipboard to check her hourly obs.

Nick nodded in response to show his approval and understanding, "Her obs are looking much better now anyway" He commented as he watched over the doctors shoulder who was now monitoring Hollie.

He nodded back "Yes, she's definitely more stable than she was 24 hours ago" He said, much to their relief.

"How long do you think she'll be in for?" Zoe curiously asked.

"We usually like to say about a week, just to be on the safe side, but it all depends how she responds to the treatment, which I'm sure you're both fully aware of" He replied.

"Yes of course" Zoe replied.

"She's going to be extremely drowsy and sleepy for a few days but that's nothing to worry about" He continued to explain, although they both already knew this all to well anyway.

"OK thank you" Zoe smiled as he exited the room.

Nick tutted, shaking his head as soon as the doctor had left "These junior doctors have no idea what they are doing" He complained, pacing around the room.

Zoe tutted, watching him pace around in frustration "He was extremely thorough, stop moaning, you're not the god of medicine you know" She chuckled.

Nick smirked slightly "No but I'm extremely close" He winked. She hadn't seen that wink in over a year and he knew exactly what it did to her. She felt that all so familiar feeling rush through her body once again as she sat gazing at Nick, her whole body turning to jelly.

"Seriously Nick, go and take a break, you look exhausted" She said, breaking out of her little daydream. He did look extremely tired but really she was the one who wanted the break away from him, especially after the little moment that she had just fantasized about.

"Yeah i think I will, I have a change of clothes in my office and I do need to check on the ED" He said, his mind soon focusing back to his work.

"Such a relief I no longer have these responsibilities of being the boss" Zoe chuckled.

"You're too chaotic to be clinical lead anyway" Nick commented, smiling at the unpleased look appearing on Zoe's face.

"Thanks Nick" She sarcastically replied "I made a very good clinical lead, you ask anyone" She said.

"Oh I attend to find out every little detail about you taking the reigns in my ED"

"I did a very good job of keeping it in tip top shape, I did learn from the best after all" She smiled.

"I taught you well" He winked at her once again "Right, I'll see you later, page me if I'm needed" He said, picking up his coat from the chair.

"We'll be fine, now go" Zoe encouraged him to finally leave.

20 minutes later and Zoe appeared in the doorway to Nick's office "Thought you might need a hand" She smiled, leaning against the door frame with her arms folded.

Nick turned around, smiling to see her standing there "With pleasure" He beamed, walking over to her and guiding her back out of the room.

"You better start thinking of ways to repay me Nick Jordan" She grinned, taking the paper work he held in his hand from his grasp to have a look at.

Nick turned to look at her, raising his eyebrows "And what might that be for?" He asked.

"For holding up the mighty ED of course" She chuckled.

Nick grinned, "I'm sure I can think of something" He winked, sending Zoe's whole body jelly like once again. As much as she didn't want to admit it, she felt like she was falling in love all over again. The first man that she had ever truly fallen in love with was definitely back and she couldn't help the feelings.
