Sorry I haven't updated in awhile I have just generally been busy with life. Thank you to everyone who is reading and reviewing this chapter.
Chapter 50
The next morning the alarm went of at Sam's and Toms flat. Tom snoozed it and gently kissed Sam on the forehead. Sam groaned slightly and then stretched and got out of bed and jumped in the shower. Tom got out of bed five minutes later and went and made them both a cup of coffee each and started on making some toast for them. Sam got out the shower and walked into their shared bedroom and started to get dried and dressed. Just then Tom walked up the stairs with a cup of coffee and toast for Sam to have.
Sam smiled when she saw Tom had brought her up breakfast. Tom then went back downstairs and got his breakfast and coffee and came upstairs. Sam was dressed and sipping her coffee slowly. They ate in silence. Once Sam had finished eating she went and fetched a few bits for Nick. She managed to find a portable DVD player, some DVD's for him and a few other bits that would keep him occupied. "Tom can we stop somewhere to get Nick a couple of magazines" Sam said.
"Yea course we can" Tom replied.
They made sure they had everything before leaving. Tom drove that morning to work. They stopped at a shop to get some magazines for Nick. They paid for the magazines and got back into the car and drove to work.
Tom parked his car up and then they headed to the back entrance and headed up to the oncology ward. They went to Nick's room and put apron and gloves on before they went in. They knocked on the door gently and then entered the room. Sam and Tom smiled as they went in as I was sleeping. They both thought I looked cute. They saw two empty chairs in my room and sat down quietly.
I woke up shortly after groaning in pain. Sam got of her seat and gently stroked my arm. "Shhh Nick it's ok does it hurt anywhere." Sam said
"Zoe" I said as I hadn't opened my eyes yet as I had a banging headache.
"No it's Sam, what hurts Nick" Sam says.
"Head" I mumble.
Tom presses the buzzer for a nurse.
Sam comforts me as best as she can.
A nurse comes in. "What is the problem" she asks.
"Nick seems to be in pain can he have any more pain killers." Tom replied.
What hurts" the nurse said.
"Head, stomach" I mumble and the nurse nods her head
"I will see what pain killers you can have and do you know if you have been again."
Nick just shrugs.
Sam understands what he says.
"If he has we can help him to change as we are both doctors from the ED.
I go slightly red in embarrassment.
"Nick there is nothing to be embarrassed about you are ill it's not your fault and we have done this before we are all doctors after all." Sam says.
I just nod as I feel too ill to speak.
"If you two don't mind and Nick doesn't I will leave you to do that while I go and see if he can have any more medicine." The nurse says.
"It's fine." Tom says.
The nurse then left and Tom and Sam cleaned Nick up and comforted him as best as they could as he had more diarrhoea. Luckily they had put a cardboard commode underneath him in case he had any more. The nurse came in with some medicine for me while I was on the commode. The nurse comforted me and informed me that she had painkillers for me, anti-sickness and some medicine that would hopefully help with the diarrhoea. The nurse waited for me to finish on the commode, around ten minutes later I had and the nurse cleaned me up and put a fresh pair of disposable pants on me and a fresh inco-pad underneath me (a pad that will help protect the sheets if I leak). She then administered my medicine through the cannula in my hand and left me with Sam and Tom.
"Nick I am so sorry to hear about the cancer" Tom said.
"Thanks" I say.
"We need to get back to work in a minute, but we have brought you a few things to keep yourself occupied, we will pop up in our break." Tom said as Sam got them out of the bag.
"If you want any other DVD's we can get you these or anything else, I have put my DS in the bag as well with a few games" Tom carried on saying.
"Thanks" I reply.
The three of us have small chat for around another five minutes before Tom and Sam say there bye's and then leave for work.
Sam and Tom then take the apron and gloves of and wash there hands thoroughly before heading down to the ED for the day of work. They are slightly late for work, but they went to find Ash and apologise saying they were visiting Nick. O the way to find Ash a couple they pass Fletch "Ash will kill you two for being late" fletch says.
"I'm sure we can deal with that." Sam says.
"Was she that irresistible that neither you could get out of bed" Fletch cheekily said.
Sam and Tom shared a glance at this knowing Fletch wouldn't be saying this if he knew the truth.
"Sorry can't stay to chat better go and get changed" Sam said.
Sam and Tom then went to find Ash. Ash was fine with that, very understanding and asked how Nick was.
"Not great" Sam says.
Ash nods sadly "go and get changed you to and get to work, let me know if you want to visit him, just don't go together during shift."
Sam and Tom nodded and went and got changed and got ready for work. They then got ready for work.
…..
Back at Zoe's she had a rough night waking up during the night worrying about Nick. She struggled to get back to sleep as she wanted a cuddle from Nick and to be in his arms. It felt cold in the bed without being in his arms. She only managed to get a couple of hours at a time. Eventually around half five in the morning she drifted of to sleep and didn't wake until ten. She stretched and looked at her phone and thought to herself shit as she saw the time she must have slept through her alarm and that she was really late for work. She got up quickly and was about to chuck some clothes on really quick and rush out of the house did she remember what had happened yesterday with Nick. She sighed to herself and hoped he was feeling better today. Zoe decided to have a shower and freshen up and have something to eat before heading to the hospital to visit Nick.
…
Back at the hospital Nick put some music on and tried to get to sleep as he felt awful and hoped the medicine would work again. Just as he was drifting of to sleep he felt liquid drip on to his legs. Knowing this was the diarrhoea again, he just wish it would stop. He pressed the buzzer and a nurse came in and put a commode underneath him and then helped to clean him up. "Sorry" Nick whispered.
"It's ok your not well Nick and because of your weak immune system because of the treatment it is affecting you more, I'm going to put some fluids up through your cannula so you don't get dehydrated." The nurse said.
I nod in reply. The nurse had seen I had become slightly more quite so grabbed a bowl for me just in case. I smile at her weakly and then puke into the bowl. She rubs my back for me as I continue to puke. Once I have finished puking the nurse finishes cleaning me up and puts a fresh pair of disposable pants on me. She then props my pillows for me and asks me if there is anything else I need. I shake my head and she leaves my room telling me to press the buzzer if I need anything. I still feel awful but slightly better I'm hoping the medicine has taken effect now. I decide to play on the DS for a bit.
Hope you have enjoyed this chapter. Hopefully won't leave it this long till the next chapter is updated.
