Thanks for reviewing once again everyone! and also thanks to the guest review from Rach who gave me the idea for this chapter! Hope you all like it :)

"Zoe, what are you doing here?" Nick asked in surprise as he bumped into Zoe on the corridor which lead to Phoebe's ward. He thought that she had gone home more than 3 hours ago.

"I'm staying here with you and Phoebe" She told him. Zoe had decided that she wanted to be close to her daughter incase anything did happen and she wouldn't sleep at home anyway without Nick, so Marie had kindly offered to look after Maisie and Oliver for the night.

"what about the kids?" Nick asked.

"Mum's staying at our house, they seemed happy about it"

Nick knew that Maisie and Oliver wouldn't mind staying with their grandma for the night but he still worried about Zoe not getting a good night sleep, "I've told you I don't want you sleeping in a chair" he repeated himself.

Zoe shook her head as this was all Nick could worry about, "I won't be in a chair.. I'll stay in the on call room" She assured him. It was the next best thing, but at least she was in the hospital if Phoebe did wake up in the night needing her.

"If you insist" Nick nodded in agreement, knowing that no matter how much he persuaded her she wouldn't go home.

"Is Phoebe OK?" Zoe concerningly asked, even though she had only been gone for a few hours.

"Fast asleep" Nick informed her, "Come on then let's go and get some sleep ourselves" He suggested, giving Zoe a little nudge in the direction of the ED.

"You're coming with me?" Zoe asked as Nick started to follow her.

"Well we both know you've only come back because you won't sleep without me" Nick winked. He could read her like a book.

They both then took the next lift and headed down to the ED for a much needed rest.

"Nick..Zoe, how's Phoebe?" Adam called, walking over to them both as he saw them exit the lift onto the ED floor.

"She's much better thank you" Zoe smiled.

"She's had her cast fitted and seems to be improving" Nick added.

"That's great" Adam smiled, "Are you both staying here tonight?" he asked, looking from Nick to Zoe, wondering what they were doing down in the department.

"Yeah we're going to get some sleep in the on call room if that's OK?" Nick asked, knowing that Adam was the on call doctor on duty tonight.

"Yeah fine, I won't be using it, so go ahead" Adam gestured towards the stairs to the room.

"Thanks for your help earlier" Zoe thanked him once again, although it was his job and he did this on a daily basis, she really appreciated the good care he had provided Phoebe.

Adam shook his head, "You'd do the same" he said as he walked away.

"Been a while since we've been in here together" Zoe chuckled as they began to make themselves comfortable in the on call room.

Nick laughed at her comment as he began to reminisce about the past and their many flings, "We sure have some memories in here" he commented as they both climbed into the single bed together, struggling to find enough room for the two of them.

That next morning Zoe awoke to a cold empty bed as Nick had left early in order to make sure he was by Phoebe's bedside when she woke up. She quickly rushed out of bed and headed upstairs to the children's ward to see how they both were.

"Right then trouble we're going home today" Nick said as he came back into Phoebe's hospital room. He had just been to speak to her doctor and he had said that she was well enough to go home with plenty of rest and with Nick and Zoe both being doctors they could keep an eye on her anyway if she did happen to deteriorate.

Phoebe excitedly sat up in bed, ecstatic at the thought of going home after her night in hospital, "Really dad?" She asked, looking up at Nick with her eyes wide open.

"Really" Nick smiled seeing her eyes light up, "but that doesn't mean you can go back to school yet, you need to rest" he told her in a professional tone.

Phoebe frowned, she knew that 'rest' meant she couldn't do anything fun either, "I feel OK now dad" She tried to persuade him.

"When I say rest I mean rest Phoebe" Nick firmly told her, only because he was worried about her health. He had always worried about her, perhaps more than the others because of her bad start in life, she always seemed to fragile to Nick and would always be his little girl no matter what.

"Fine" She sulked, knowing not to argue with her dad.

Zoe saw the look of disappointment on her face and wanted to cheer her up again, "Shall we go for an ice-cream before we go home? She suggested.

Her eyes lit up again as her mum suggested this, "Yeah" She beamed.

"Right then lets get all your things together" Nick said as he began to pack all her belongings away.

Once they were ready to go, Phoebe grabbed hold of Nicks hand as they walked out of the room together, glad to be finally leaving.
