Adam texted me later that evening to late my know that there would be here at the end of next week. I thought that this was fantastic as it gave me a week to get Zoe's house ready for them.

The next day at the ED.

It had been a quite day until a group of drunk hooligans from the match came into the ED uninjured and threaten to cause trouble. Security we're doing a fantastic job at keeping them at bay until more came in and started to cause trouble and then all went wrong Zoe walked past security towards our office and some of the hooligans got past security and knocked Zoe flying. When she landed some more run past and kicked her as there went.

Once I saw what was going on I instantly ran towards Zoe and used my body to protect her, using my hands and feet to prop me up so I was lying over her not on her. As soon as I went to move to get off of her she grabbed by the neck and mouthed help me and I know that she was in no fit state to walk so I told her to hold tight and bend her knees as I was going to carry her through to our office and lay her on the sofa. Once I had got Zoe comfortable in my arms I called Charlie over and asked him to bring pillows, blankets and an ultrasound machine to my office ASAP.

Once in our office I lied Zoe down on the sofa as gently as possible and told her to roll onto her side as I wanted to check her back.

"Well how bad is the bruising then?" I asked Nick

"Not as bad as I thought is would of been" "Have you got any other pain?"

"Yeah in my stomach"

"Okay, don't panic Charlie is bringing up blankets, pillows and an ultrasound machine shortly, so grab my neck, I'll lift you're top half or you body and I want you to use your hips and legs to turn yourself okay!?"

"Okay" I replied weakly and Nick could see that I was scared and in pain."

"Hey, it's okay. Do you want me to pick you up and just lay you back down on my chest?"

"Please I think that would be easier for my to move as well"

"Okay no problem. Right hands round my neck and I'm going to lift you up and move you okay."

"Yep"

"Okay going up in 3, 1, 2, 3 and up, and down in 1, 2, 3 and going down. You okay?"

"Feeling a lot better know that I'm lying with you again!"

"You comfortable?"

"No not really, I'd prefer to have my back against the back of the sofa and you supporting me."

"Okay I can make that possible." I shuffled myself more into the sofa so that Zoe's head was on my shoulder and I had my arm across her back and round her waist for support. I did not take long for Zoe to fall asleep in my arms. Then they was a knock at the door and Charlie walked in with the scanner and the pillows and blankets.

"Oh if I'd known that she was asleep I'd never if brought the scanner."

"Well it's a good thing you did, because before I placed her on me like this she was complaining of stomach pains. So if I lay her so she's on her back can you do a scan please?"

"Nick you know that I can't really do that!"

"Fine leave the scanner and just put the blankets on us"

"If you'd just let me finish my sentence I was gonna say as it's you and Zoe I'm gonna make an exception just this once, so turn her onto her back, and I'll put the gel on."

"All's looking fine to me Nick, what any copies and does Zoe know she's having twins?"

"3 please and yes we know we had a scan the day before she got attacked."

"Okay, well as I said all is fine. So you can take her home. Would you prefer to carry her to the car or a wheelchair?" I asked Nick

"I'll carry her because using a wheelchair would mean I pick her up, put her in the wheelchair bump her over the car park then pick her up and put her down again and that would just wake her up, so I'll carry her it would be a lot easier. Can you bring out pillows and blankets please?"

"Yeah, what about your stuff?"

"Can you drop it round on your way home please?"

"Yeah sure but it'll be late!"

"That's fine just text me when your outside mine and you'll come and get it off of your. Do you want our locker keys?"

"No, it's fine I know where the master key is kept!"

"Okay then, see you later Charlie"

"See you later Nick"

3 hours later

I woke with a start but I soon relaxed when I released that I was at home laying on our sofa on Nick's chest.

"Hey sleeping beauty, how you feeling?"

"Sore but better now that I've had a sleep. What happened after I fell asleep?"

"Charlie did the scan, and I brought you home"

"The twins, how are the twins?" I asked shocked that I don't release sooner.

"There fine don't panic"

"How did you get me to the car?"

"I carried you. And I need you house keys."

"There in my bag, but why do you need them?"

"I left some of my bits there and Im going to bring the rest of your stuff back."

"Oh okay, when you gonna do that and do you want some help?"

"No I'll be fine and tomorrow whilst you here resting"

"Okay, any idea how long it will take you?"

"Most of the day, I would expect because I'd need to go in your loft to get some boxes."

"Okay, I'll have dinner ready than!"

"You don't have to."

"I want to, what do you want?"

"Spaghetti bolognese please"

"Okay sorted night Nick I'm going to bed"

"Okay, don't move I'll carry you."
