please keep updating! I love hearing your opinions and ideas and stuff you have to say, it really does make my day brighter xx
A couple of days passed, Jody's temperature had decreased, a lot, and she was finally beginning to feel better. Nick and Zoe, however, were still beside themselves with worry, neither of them had left the hospital since she had been admitted. They'd slept in the on call room whenever it was possible and managed to gain catch up on the seat next to Jody's bed. It had been a pretty stressful few days though and sleep was somewhat hard to come by.
Nick, desperate for a sugar fix just to get his energy up a bit, had headed down to the canteen to pick up some chocolate for Zoe, Jody and himself. When he got back to the room, he opened the door to find both Jody and Zoe, cuddled in to one another on the bed, both fast asleep. He smiled to himself, put down their chocolate and exited the room. He headed down to the ED and went into the staff room, only to be met with Charlie, Tess and Sam. They all looked up worriedly when they saw him.
"How's Jody?" Sam asked, immediately.
"She's a lot better, thanks Sam. She's stopped vomiting, the temperature has come down and the nausea is finally subsiding." Nick told her.
"Thats great." Sam replied.
"Yes, that is good news." Tess added.
"Nick, could i possibly go up and see her later?" Sam asked him, hopefully. He nodded.
"Sure, they're both asleep at the moment, but they'll probably wake up in a couple of hours." Sam smiled.
"Cool. Thanks Nick." He smiled back.
"Thats okay sam." He headed into their kitchen and put the kettle on.
Just as Nick finished his tea, Zoe walked in.
"Hey," she said to him. "Thought I'd find you down here." Nick nodded.
"I just needed something. Tea?" She shook her head.
"Had one already."
"Oh. How is she? She awake?" He asked.
"She's fine, nothing has happened since you last were up there, and no, she's still fast asleep God love her." She sat down on the sofa and rubbed her face. "How nick?" She asked, tiredly.
"I don't know. It's got me so confused though! How could we miss something like that! How could anyone!" He said, Zoe shook her head
"I don't know, but we did. Oh, they're saying that if she says she's feeling better when she wakes up, and the evidence is there, we can take her home." She said, smiling slightly, knowing that Jody was really, very anxious to get home.
"That is good news." Nick said, he also smiled. "Can't wait to tell her."
"Neither can I." Then, quite spontaneously, she walked over to Nick, took his face in her hands and kissed him passionately.
"I love you Nick Jordan." She whispered.
"I love you too Zoe."
