Guppy had been sat eating toast in the staffroom as he had been assigned to watch over Charlie after he fainted. Watching as his colleague begun to shake and groan, he shook him gently, trying to wake him up. Charlie jumped to his feet, panic on his face.
"Hey, Charlie. It's okay, your alright." he spoke, taking him by the arm to try and settle him.
Charlie was confused, "Where's the fire? What happened?"
"What fire?"
"The fire, something was burning and I woke up. The hospital was on fire, flames everywhere. Even Resus…" his voice trailed of as he spotted Guppy's toast on the side table. Pointing at it, a bit made sense, "You burnt your toast again, didn't you?"
Guppy looked sheepishly at Charlie then the toaster, "Um, yeah. I swear that things got something against me."
"Oh, thank god for that!" Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and begun laughing slightly.
"Its not funny!" but even Guppy couldn't help but laugh, every time he went to use it his toast would burn and he'd end up having to get Maggie or Selena to sort it for him, "Oh. Yah, Harry told me to tell you that Maggie's recovering. But your to go see him anyway." looking up, he noticed there was no one in the room. Charlie had dashed out as soon as he heard that Maggie was okay. "Hm, strange." muttering to himself, he went back to eating his blackened toast, glaring at the toaster.
-------------------------------
Charlie had come to the conclusion that he'd done more running in the past few days than he had his entire life, as he ran into Harry outside reception.
"Maggie. How is she. Guppy said I was to come see you." he blurted out in on breath, before gasping for air. Harry ushered him into his office, it was quieter there.
Signalling for him to sit down, Harry though about what he was going to say, taking a deep breath he begun, "Maggie went into a respiratory arrest, as you saw. We found a small piece of glass embedded in her throat and removed it successfully. She is beginning to come round, but is very weak still." Charlie gazed at Harry's words, his face giving nothing away, he didn't want anyone to know he had feelings for Maggie, just yet.. "She's awake and asking for you." Harry smiled.
As did Charlie for a moment before his face went back to expressionless, "But?" he whispered bluntly, there was always a but.
Harry sighed, "No buts. I just think you should tell Maggie how you really feel." he raised one eyebrow, grinning once again.
Charlie frowned for a minute, before shaking his head and smiling.
Harry looked at his friend for a moment, puzzled. "What? You don't-" he struggled with wording what he was going to say, "You know."
"Oh, I know. Just was wondering how you guessed."
"Well. You've not left her side for two days. And its blatantly obvious!" he smiled, loving every moment of playing matchmaker.
"Yeah, well I suppose. You don't know where Selena is do you? I haven't seen her around." Charlie changed the subject as quickly and a subtly as he could.
"Don't worry, I've phoned her, she's said she'll be right in after I reassured her that Nathan wasn't in today." both men chuckled having heard of their dispute. Charlie got up and made to leave the room, he really wanted to go to see Maggie, maybe Harry was right. "See you later, thanks to Mr Spencer, I've got tonnes of paperwork to get through!"
"Yeah, thanks for everything." he left the room and headed back to ICU, leaving Harry to feel pretty darn smug with himself, he knew Charlie and Maggie were destined to be together.
