"Oi, shoo! Can't you see they want some privacy!" joked Kelsey as she joined the crowd that had gathered outside Resus, joking.
But inside, the pair were oblivious to the comments being made at the doors by their fellow colleagues and patients.
"Well, I love you too" smiled Maggie, blushing slightly.
For a second, they both beamed at each other, gazing into each other eyes, unaware of a pair of eyes watching from outside.
"Well, would you maybe like to go out to dinner with me one night?" Charlie couldn't believe how awkward he was making this sound, when really Maggie's smile was putting him at ease.
"I'd love that." Maggie felt great, as did Charlie. Their likeness for each other had grown so much and it was only now that they both released just how much they cared for each other.
A jealous pair of eyes watched them as they kissed, and listened to the cheer from the others, "So, that's how they want it to be. We'll soon see about that…" and with that they reached into their pocket, taking out two objects. Grinning evilly to himself, he stepped forward, making his way through the crowd to Resus.
Meanwhile, Kathryn was beginning to calm down having heard from one of the other doctors that Maggie was okay.
"Please mummy can we go see her? I want to make her better, the way she did to me! Please?" tugging on her mums trouser leg, Kathryn soon got her way.
"Okay, but only for a few moments, Dr Coldwell will probably be tired." she smiled at her daughter, she was used o putting on a brave face. "But no running around her or annoying her okay, behave yourself!"
--------------------------------------------
Maggie smiled at Charlie as the young girl bounded through Resus doors, Shelia following close behind.
"Hey sweetie, how's your arm now?"
Kathryn grinned as she jumped up onto the bed, a pen in hand, "Fine! I wana you to be the first to write on it! Please?" she held out her arm for Maggie, grinning.
"It would be my pleasure!" Maggie said as she carefully shifted herself so she could scribble on Kathryn's cast. "How would you like me to sign it?"
"Hmm," Kathryn looked at her name badge she was still wearing, "Dr Maggie please!"
She watched as the young girls eyes filled with glee as she wrote, 'Hope you get better soon sweetie! Lots of hugs and kisses, Dr Maggie' Hows that?"
"Brilliant! Thanks!" Kathryn moved her arm around so she could see the whole message, before jumping off the bed to show her mum, full of excitement. "Mum, look mum!"
"I see it Kat, lovely!" Shelia smiled to Maggie, "Tell you what, why don't you go and get what's his name… the nurse you like?"
"Oh, Abs! Silly Mummy!" replied Kathryn, rolling her eyes at Maggie.
"Yes, Abs, and show him your cast, maybe even get him to sign it for you?"
"Yeah! I'll be back in five minutes!"
"Hey, I'll come with you, Maggie do you want anything?" Charlie asked as he stood up taking Kathryn's hand.
"No thanks, you two go!" smiled Maggie, watching as the pair left Resus, leaving Maggie and Shelia alone.
Shelia sat down on the edge of the doctors bed, smiling awkwardly. "Look, I'm so very sorry about earlier…"
"Its alright honest. But its not really you I'm expecting an apology from." Maggie smiled reassuringly and the nervous woman in front of her.
"Yeah, well. I wouldn't hold your breath." Maggie could see tears welling in Shelia's eyes.
"Aw, sweetheart! Come here!" she leaned across taking Sheila in her arms.
"I just don't know what I'm going to do!" she sobbed, leaning into Maggie.
"You'll get through it, I'll be there to help where I can." Maggie knew Nathan would have something to say about how involved she was getting with her patients but she could care less.
"Thank you, I really don't know what I would've done with out you Dr Coldwell." Shelia smiled.
"Call me Maggie!" chuckled Maggie, "Kathryn does!"
"Yeah, she can be handful sometimes." said Shelia, also now smiling. It was true, with out this doctor, Shelia just didn't know what she would've done.
