Zoe and Max same as every morning arrived in the ED hand In hand and walked up to reception, when they got there noël handed Zoe a plain white box, curious she opened it to revel 30 different doughnuts. Zoe's eyes light up like a child on Christmas morning. 'We know your pregnancy craving is doughnuts so we put together to buy you a selection of them from the expensive shop in town' Noël told a very happy Zoe. 'This is heaven, thank you so much' Zoe told him pulling him In to a hug and he gave her one back. 'I will be in my office if you need me' Zoe said walking away not taking her eyes of the box of doughnuts in front of her. All the staff laughed at Zoe, they had never seen this side to her, it was always the strong, independent, bossy Dr hanna they knew, not the loving, kind, soft Dr hanna. The ED weren't complaining they loved this side to her, well they loved any side of her as she is well respected.
Max walked Into Zoe's office 30 minutes later to find her eating doughnuts while doing admin. 'You never like doing admin' Max said making himself present. 'I don't but when there is doughnuts it's completely different' Zoe replied finishing off the lemon drizzle doughnut. 'Anyway, you are needed in resus there has been a fire.' Max told Zoe even though he didn't want to disturb his pregnant girlfriend. Max would rather Zoe sat in her office all day as it meant she weren't putting any stress on herself or the baby. Zoe moaned as she got out of her office chair, had one last look at her doughnuts before putting them in her draw and walking to resus with Max's arm protectively around her.
Zoe went Into resus 'what we got Connie?' She asked the older consultant. 'This is jack, he has serve facial burns, he is struggling breathing on his own and he's broken and displaced his leg' she told her. 'Ok, can we lift him onto the other bed' Zoe was telling everyone as she went to grab a piece. 'Zoe, what are you doing?' Connie asked concerned. 'lifting him onto the bed' she replied. 'I don't think you should do that, it won't be good for you or the baby' she told her. 'Ok' Zoe said letting go and stepping back as they lifted jack over onto he other bed. Once he was on the other bed Zoe went back into doctor mode. Can we book and X-ray for his leg, can we have full bloods, check ABCs, can we get plastics down her for his face and can you get a line in and hang 10 of morphine up please' she told everyone who got straight to work. Zoe listened to his chest and got him and oxygen mask and turned it to 100% oxygen. Once Zoe finished treating jack she went to finish off her admin and the doughnuts.
When she was in her office she thought of how different everyone was acting around her, normally they were scared off her in work and friendly outside of work, but know she was pregnant everyone was aways worried and concerned about her that she would put too much stress on herself and on her baby. Zoe was grateful for everyone's concern but she wasn't the fuss type, she hated ally eh attention on herm she was brought out of her daydream when Max entered her office.
'You ready to go home princess? He asked his gorgeous girlfriend. 'Yeah, what time is it? She asked slightly confused. 'It is 6 o'clock' Max told her looking on his phone. 'I have been sitting their for 1 hour doing nothing' she told him while getting her coat and grabbing her bag. They were about to leave the office when Zoe quickly went to her desk draw to get the box with the remaining doughnuts in. Max just looked at Zoe and laughed. 'What, you don't want your little one to miss out' Zoe told him while resting her hand on her small bump. 'Ok, let's get you both home ' Max told her putting his hand around her waist and walking out of the ED. 'you can drive' Zoe told him chucking her car Keys at him. 'I remember when you would even let me touch your car' Max replied. 'Carry on and it will go back that way' Zoe told him while laughing. 'Ok, I do love you Zoe Hanna' he told her. 'I love you too Max Walker.' She replied back. Max drove home where they fell asleep on the sofa watching no angels with a Chinese.
