"Tess" said Zoe "read this"

Tess was still hiding in her office and Zoe had handed her a copy of the email from nick and Tess read it out loud

Dear Zoe

It has been a couple of weeks since we last talked, have really missed you and can't wait to speak to you again

All my love nick

"There is a link under it" said Tess

"I know" said zoe "but I can't speak to him"

"Why" said Tess

"Because I am happy now" said zoe "I have max and nick could bring back some bad memories"

"And how could nick ruin that" said Tess

"I don't know" said Zoe "but what I do know is that you need to face everyone"

Tess sighed

"Ok" she said

Tess stood up and slowly opened her office door and walked out, all eyes were on her

"What do we have" said Tess to Charlie

"Well dislocated shoulder in cubical 2" said Charlie

"Ok" said Tess snatching the notes off Charlie

When Tess had finished her shift she was in the staffroom lying down on the sofa, Tess found herself staring at her scan picture, suddenly fletch walked in and sat beside her, Tess rested her head on his shoulder.

"So" said fletch

"What" said Tess?

Fletch got his hand and placed it on Tess stomach, Tess set up and fletch set in front of her nearly examining her stomach

"You do know that you're not going to feel anything" said Tess

"I know" said fletch

Tess laughed

"You do have a rounded tummy" said fletch

Tess laughed again

"I do mean what I said earlier" said fletch "I am going to tell Natalie"

"Fletch you don't have too" said Tess

"Yes I do" said fletch

Suddenly Zoe and ash walked in and Tess and fletch separated

"So do you fancy a drink" said ash to Zoe

"No sorry not tonight" said Zoe

Zoe got her stuff and walked around to her usual corner where max was waiting; max kissed her and put his arms around her waist.

"So that's why you didn't want a drink" said ash

Zoe and max separated

"Don't worry your secret us safe with me" said ash

Zoe smiled and her and max headed back to Zoe's house. As soon as max and Zoe got through the door Zoe set her bag down and opened a bottle of expensive red wine.

"Oh you do have expensive taste Dr Hanna" said max

Zoe laughed

Max and Zoe sat on the sofa together, max sat down and Zoe lay there with her head resting against maxes shoulder, Zoe and max soon fell asleep and awoke the next morning to the alarm on maxes phone

"Aww" said Zoe as she woke up
