AN - I started to write this on Sunday but I have been a bit distracted so I have only managed to finish it off now, I hope you enjoy it.x
I had 5 minutes spare while I waited for Finn's Dad so I decided I would go and update his notes and no one was aware of his name when he came in. I sat down at the desk typing his notes up when Tom pushed a wheelchair through the doors relaying the information over to Rita. I then looked over to Finn who was still reading the book he had and I couldn't help but smile to myself, he is such a lovely guy its such a shame he can't hear hear, or speak it must be so hard for him.
"Babe" Tom said and gently put his hand on my shoulder bringing me from my thoughts. "I was wondering how your morning has been so far?" He added.
"Not to bad, I just cant stop thinking about Finn" I said looking over to him.
"Why? do you need any help with him?" Tom asked wrapping his arms around me.
"No, nothing like that, I'm actually waiting on his Dad, its just he's deaf, I could never imagine what it must be like" I explained resting my head on his chest.
"Oh Sammy, what are you like" Tom said looking down at me and I just reached up a placed a kiss on his lips.
"Dr Nicholls, Dr Kent. Do you not have work to be doing?" Dad said coming in behind us.
"I'm on a break at the moment and thought it wouldn't be an issue to spend it with my fiance who is also on a break" Tom said.
"Do you not think it would be more appropriate to spend your break in the staff room not on the ward" Dad asked and his inspectors where taking notes.
"Tom came to find me and I wanted to stay out here until Tess was back just in case something happened" I explained.
"Well keep you public displays to a minimum" Dad said and I just rolled my eyes.
"Mr Jordan leave them be, Dr Nicholls did the right thing staying here and not leaving the patients alone and they are young and in love we all know what that is like" One of the inspectors said.
"Yes, where the same once Nick, you and Melissa couldn't get enough of each other, how is Melissa?" The other asked.
"Melissa pasted away towards the end of last year" Dad said.
"I'm so sorry to hear that Nick" He said looking rather shocked then I noticed Noel showing someone in so I left them lot and went over.
"Mr Thompson?" I asked holding out my hand.
"Yes, wheres Finn?" He asked looking worried.
"I'm Dr Nicholls and been looking after Finn for the past hour, he is just in the bed over there, he is reading at the moment" I explained. "Finn was brought in during the early hours of the morning and presented with a broken arm and a few cut and bruises" I added and Mr Thompson seemed to be able to relax.
"Can I see him?" He asked.
"Of course you can, follow me" I said smiling and showing him the way.
"Babe, I will catch you later" Tom said smiling as he went past.
I went over and gently tapped Finn and he put the book down and smiled before starting to sign to his Dad, I have no idea what they are talking about but I leave it to them for a minute why I go to get the patient information from Rita on the lady that Tom brought in.
"You know Sam you are so lucky to have Tom he is so sexy as it is and then when I saw you two in the Staff room this morning, I wish I had a chance with him but hes all yours, you lucky Moo!" Rita just came out with.
"Well Rita you see this ring, it means he is mine! He's the father of my children and if you ever do anything to get in the way of us, trust me you life wont be worth living" I told her and she just nodded. "Now the patient my fiance brought in, whats the story" I added.
"Shes just awaiting on some test results and for someone to come and collect her as with the injury to her leg she can not go home with out someone to be there so her husband has been phoned" Rita explained.
"What tests are they? and what is her name?" I asked.
"She had a test for HIV and her name is Clare" Rita said "Next time just read her notes" She added walking off.
"whats got her knickers in a twist?" Tess asked as she over heard the last bit.
"She made some smart remark about how sexy Tom is, and she saw him half naked in the staff room this morning so she thought she would bring it up, I told her to not even bother to try and make a move as I could make her life hell" I explained and Tess was trying not to smile I wasn't too sure why though but I wasn't going to ask. "I'm going to go and discharge Finn" I added and went over with the forms.
"Mr Thompson" I said walking up towards them.
"Yes Doc?" he asked.
"I'm going to discharge Finn if you would like to let him know also he will need an outpatients appointment in about 6 weeks for them to check over his arm, I will organize it and have a letter sent in the post" I explained.
"Thank you thats all he has been asking is if he can go home, I will let him know" Mr Thompson smiled.
"I will leave these forms with you as you will both need to sign then and I will be back in two minutes I just need to answer the phone" I said placing the forms down and running over to the phone.
"Good Afternoon Holby City ED, Dr Nicholls speaking how may I help" I asked.
"My Name is Ben Hammon and I'm phoning concerning my wife Clare, I need to come and collect her but I have been held up at work for an extra half an hour, is there anyway you could let her come to me?" He asked.
"Your wife is still awaiting her test results so she will not be getting discharged any time soon. But as soon as we know more we will be in contact" I explained.
"Thank you, I have to have a meeting about having time off to be at home with her but I shouldn't be too long" He said.
"We will let your Wife know that you are needed in a meeting but as soon as possible you will be here" I said.
"Thanks, I better get to the meeting" He said hanging up.
I put the phone down and picked up the prescription for strong pain killers in case Finn needs them.
"We have both signed the form" Mr Thompson said.
"Thank you, I have this prescription for strong pain killers if Finn needs them, he is to take 1 tablet 3 times daily with or after food. You are free to take him when you are ready" I said handing over the prescription.
Finn got up out of bed and put his hand to his mouth and then moved it down towards smiling, it looked as though he was blowing me a kiss.
"Thats the sign for thank you" Mr Thompson explained.
"Whats the sign for you're welcome?" I asked.
"Its the same but instead of having your thumb in hold it out at a right angle and do the same motion from the chin" Mr Thompson explained and so I did smiling and Finn looked so happy after I did the sign language.
"Thank you for everything Dr Nicholls, you went above and beyond to help Finn" Mr Thompson said as I walked them towards the doors of CDU.
"Your Welcome, and I hope it all goes well for Finn with his arm" I said before waving so Finn could see and he waved back before they turned and left.
I headed back over to the desk to wait for Jade as she was in at 1 to take over from me but I do need to stay half an hour longer after being late. but until Clare's results are back there is nothing more we can do, its empty, that in itself is worrying but i'm sure its busy out side CDU.
"SAM" Jade said running in and grabbing me.
"Hey Jade, How are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine, I missed you though, but I did it Sam, my scrubs match yours now, I'm not a junior anymore!" She said excited. I know she had passed her exam, she always would have after all I was her mentor!
"I know you did and I am so excited for you, I'm taking you out for dinner on Friday, just me you and the girls Tom, doesn't know it yet but he is watching the kids for me" I said smiling and she did as well.
"You don't have to do that but I can't say i'm not excited its been ages since you came out with us" Jade smiled.
"It might have something to do with the kids" I laughed.
"Alright, you have a point" Jade said.
"You two, may I remind you Nicks got an inspection so this little chit chat might need to wait but count me in on the girls night out" Tess Smiled.
