Max was woke up in the middle of the night by zoe getting dressed and putting her heels on

"zoe what are you doing" said max

"going home" said zoe

"zoe your sick" said max "you calsped for god sake"

"I'm fine" said zoe

Zoe got up and walked to noel who was at reception and max followed her

"I am discharging myself" said zoe to noel

"zoe you are still very sick" said noel "mrs beauchamp said that you need a week of bed rest"

"thanks for your concern but do you seriously think that, that is going to happen" said Zoe

"fair enough" said noel "but you have to see mrs beauchamp to get your new facility drugs"

"what" said zoe

"here is your appointment connie told me to make for you" said noel "and mr jordan is waiting in your office"

"I am going to kill connie" said Zoe

"she was only trying to help" said max

Zoe sighed took the appointment card off noel and headed to her office but stopped outside the door when she saw that max had followed her.

"everybody knows" said Zoe "dont they"

Max nodded his head and looked at zoe who looked like she was going to cry

"shhhh its ok" said max pulling zoe into a hug

Max was surprised that for once zoe didnt pull away she just rested her head on his shoulder.

"I dont care that people know" said zoe "I just didnt want you to know"

Max put zoes head up to look into his eyes

"why would you care" said max "I already knew that you couldnt have children, what difference would it have made?"

Zoe sighed not giving max an answer, zoe opened her office door to find nick sleeping on the sofa and tess on zoes office chair, max got his phone out and took a picture and he and zoe laughed when nick and teas woke up

"what are you doing out of bed" said tess to zoe

"I have discharged myself" said Zoe "then I found out that connie has made me an appointment at a fatility clinic"

"well there was a gap near the top of there 6 month waiting list so me and connie thought that it would be a good idea" said tess

"thanks" said zoe

Nick got up and fixed his suit

"I thought you had gone" said Zoe to nick

"well I couldnt leave with out saying good bye" said nick

Zoe smiled and sat down

"you cant hide forever" said nick to tess

"dont worry I am not" said tess "I have made up my mind"

"head or heart" said Zoe

Tess just walked out of the office and too the nurses station secretly hoping that fletch wasnt there

"well I better go" said Zoe

"I will go to" said nick "I wouldnt miss this for the world"

"miss what" said zoe

"fletch proposing" said nick

"that will be in private" said Zoe

"well I am not so sure of that" said nick

This made zoe rush out the door and over to tess
