This was a Zoe prompt, it was prompted by: bethboo97 and the prompt was: Zoe returns, from her break with an old friend. Will she reunite with Max?
I got wind of who is returning tonight and next Saturday, I won't say who if I spoil it for anyone, who didn't already know.
I don't know if this is correct the hours that it would take Zoe to get from Liverpool to Bristol but I Googled it.
Sunetra was absouately stunning tonight in SCD.
Tonight's episode was fabulous, Dylan's back, I reckon him and Zoe are in a relationship but Sunetra has said that there is something in the air for Zoe and Max, so we will see...
The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 58
Connie Beauchamp was in hers and Zoe's shared office, late last night she had made a phone call to Zoe and the former clinical lead was expected to arrive some point this morning. It would take Zoe three hours and one minute to get to her destination. She returned to her typing when suddenly, there was a knock at the door and it opened, revealing Zoe with a sleek new do and a coat over her arm, her bag on one shoulder. "Zoe, welcome back - and punctual as ever " Connie said, welcoming her back.
"You didn't tell anyone I was coming back?" Zoe asked, in disbelief, glad she was back. Her break had been needed but now she was back where she belonged.
"Should I have?" Connie replied, as Zoe unbuttoned her coat and put her handbag down on the other desk in the office. She then left the office going to see what the team had been up to in her absence, she had heard of Jeff's death, Tamzin's departure. It was horrible losing a member of staff, and Jeff have been a great paramedic.
Zoe rolled her eyes, it was obvious that she was back. She nipped outside and noticed Max, her heart pounded, he hadn't noticed her.
"Hello, stranger " Max flirted with her.
Zoe once again rolled her eyes and sighed. Was she really ready to return?
"No Max " Zoe replied, she needed to sort things out with Tess, she'd left on bad terms with her, she hadn't come back just to fall in to Max's arms, or more importantly, his bed again.
Meanwhile, a former member of staff, got out of a black cab, looking around the hospital, they had previously left. What were they doing back? They walked in to the hospital and met with Zoe. The person took a deep breath and talked to Zoe as she told them about hat to expect, why the hospital had relocated.
"Everyone I'd like to introduce you to Kirsty Clemants, a former staff nurse, here at the ED " What she had come back for, was a secret, for now but Zoe was confident that she would soon settle in among her former colleagues. She walked to the staff room, remembering where it was.
"I've been sleeping with Max" Zoe confessed, as Kirsty nodded. Zoe stood up and left her to it.
Zoe raced to the staff toilets, she was feeling sick and tired, she assumed it was because she had been in a car for so long. She sighed as she started to work back out of the toilets and then the mysterious person approached her, with a concerned look on her face.
"Zoe, are you OK?"
"I'm fine Kirsty " Zoe replied, looking in her handbag for a pack of cigarattes, but then she remembered that she had give them up as part of a new healthy, happy Zoe. She looked at her watch and back in to the same ubicle she had come out of. Holding something.
Was she about to get what she had always dreamed of? She shut her eyes and counted to 3 as she rested against the sinks. She grabbed the stick and then opening her eyes, she looked down.
Pregnant.
Max Walker was about to become a father. She had too tell him. She walked outside, asking Max to hold the ciggie between her lips, while she inhaled a bit of smoke.
"Max.. " Zoe started, she had never told him she was infertile, it never came up in conversation, Zoe could just imagine how that went.
"Max... "
"Zoe?"
"I'm infertile "
Max just stared at her with hurt eyes, children were a big thing and the woman he loved couldn't have them?
She pulled herself from her thoughts and put the test in her handbag. She quickly walked out, binning the pregnancy package and saying hi to colleagues: Ash, Connie, Dixie, also apologizing for Jeff's death.
She reached Max and fumbled in her bag, showing Max the positive test. His eyes widened as he asked.
"Your pregnant?"
"Yes" Zoe admitted, her hand going to her tiny bump. This was going to be her much long waited baby boy or girl, she knew. She knew she wasn't maternal but she cold learn, she'd held Harry, a bit uncomfortably but if she could get Max to support her then she knew that the baby would be loved, cared for. She would rather Nick be the father but that wasn't going to happen as he was in Michigan but she hoped he was happy.
Because, she was.
Really short but I've had utter writer's block. I was orginally going to go for Jessica being the one Zoe brought back, but then I changed my mind.
