Hey, this story is more on Steven's feelings as the last was more on Natalie's.
Please R&R,

MEDICALINVESTIGATION
One, two, three, four, Steven had lost count of how many dances Nat and Gerry had had, and also lost count of the drinks he had had. As his thoughts turned from happy for Nat and her fiancé, they turned to why? And also to how. And after what he believed to be his 9th drink, they turned to something along the line of, if he couldn't have Nat, then no-one could.

After 7 slow dances with Gerry, Nat was content with going home, and sleeping in his arms. So as they went to leave, she noticed Steven, very drunk and alone.
"By Dr Connor," she said to him quietly, "See you at work"
And with this, he looked genuinely puzzled. It almost seemed as if Kate had not told him she was coming back to work. Oh well, he would probably forget this little talk they had had, and would realise she was back at work when he saw her.

"Kate" Steven screamed endlessly.
"What?" she called back, enjoying the moment she was in power.
"Where is the new person, we have a case" he said desperately
"On her way, and I keep telling you, she has experience so she is NOT new." He would piss himself when he discovered it was Nat.

"NAT!" Eva screamed when she saw her coming down the hall towards her.
"Surprise," Nat said smiling, "I'm the new gal"
"Wow," Eva breathed, "You look good, Steven will be, ah, well…"
"I know." She sighed. "Surprised, but not pleasantly."
"Exactly, but we will all be pleasantly surprised so just ignore the grumpy boss."
"Will do" she said winking, "Gotta go and talk to Kate, see you soon."

"Hey Kate" Natalie said opening the door
"Kate" she said awkwardly
It appeared the younger doctor had discovered Steven had no idea about her coming.
"Have you told Doctor Connor I'm coming yet?" she asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Well, no I haven't," she said wincing a bit, "But I'm sure Steven will find out when you walk into the break room. You have a case"
"OK" Nat said looking very relived.

"NAT!" screamed Miles, was it him or was Natalie Durant walking down the hall towards him?
"Miles," she said gasping, "What did you do to your hair?"
"Just a Mohawk, no biggy" he said smiling, it was his Natalie.
"So I guess your wondering what I'm doing at the place of my nightmares?"
"Yeah" said Miles fidgeting.
"Well, I'm starting work today here."
It took a while to sink into the doctors head, but then he screamed his joy into the hall, just as Steven came around the corner.
MEDICALINVESTIGATION
"Natalie?" he said
The whole room quietened, Nat was still, and so was Miles, and the air was tense.
"Doctor Connor" said Natalie icily.
