I must apologise (a lot!) for not updating this in so long but I've been so busy with exams I haven't really got round to it. Anyway here's chapter 13 :)
Zoe rushed into the ED the next morning , she was late which wasn't a great example now she was clinical lead. She went straight to her office hoping she would avoid bumping into anyone, especially now Matt might have said something. She looked up to see Nick sat on her desk.
"Finally, Zoe I think we need to talk..." He looked serious and right now Zoe wasn't in the mood for a lecture from Nick about what he thought they should do.
"Not now Nick." She stormed out of her office and walked into resus, 2 patients had just arrived. She got straight in to treating one of them , trying to take her mind off of everything. Her patient was seriously injured and she was struggling to keep on top of the bleed on her own.
"Shall I page Dr. Reed?" Tess was looking at the patients stats and becoming increasingly concerned.
"No! No...its fine, page Mr Jordan" Tess knew something was wrong after Zoe had been so against paging Dr. Reed, she knew things weren't good between them but Zoe would usually remain professional when it came to treating patients.
Nick entered resus and immediately started to assist Zoe, they managed to get the bleed under control and the patient was sent up to theatre.
"Zoe, have you got a minute?" She nodded, she knew she couldn't avoid him forever and it was better she spoke to him now before Matt came in for the afternoon shift. They walked back to Zoe's office.
"What do you want Nick? Do you want proof or something?!"
"I'm sorry about the way I reacted, I was just shocked that's all. Things will be different from now on though, we can be a proper family, just like we wanted before"
"It's not that simple anymore" She knew Matt would never let them be happy together, he was due to start his shift in 15 minutes and she was dreading it.
"Look, don't worry about Matt, we can sort this." Zoe forced a smile and then left the office. She walked towards reception when suddenly Matt burst through the doors of the ED, she expected him to make a scene but he didn't.
"Can we talk?" She followed him into the staff room.
"I'm sorry for scaring you Zoe, I was just angry, I didn't know what to do...I love you Zoe and I know we can make this work whoever the father is." Zoe just stared at him confused and slightly surprised at the same time.
"Matt...I can't.."
"No, don't say anything, everything will be fine. We'll still get married and we can be a proper family, just like we wanted before." He walked over and hugged her while Zoe just let a single tear escape.
Hope it wasn't too bad! Please REVIEW! :)
