Italics is Zoe's thoughts just in case you wonder what it is .
Zoe stormed into the staffroom and made Ella jump out of her skin.
"God Mum you gave me a scare" Ella said as she clutched her chest.
"Don't act all innocent young lady" Zoe said angrily
"Oh, you've spoken to dad, look mum..." Ella didn't get to finish as Zoe had cut in sharply
"I don't care what you have to say, you clearly disobeyed me by leaving this room"
"Mum I'm sorry but I was bored and I just bumped into dad as I was making my way back here"
"I don't care, right stay here and I will deal with you later" Zoe slammed the door shut and left the staffroom to carry on her duties as Doctor should.
Later on that afternoon nurse Andrews and lenny where discussing on going out tonight.
"Please come out tonight, I don't want to go out by myself" Linda whined to lenny who Zoe could see was really not interested.
"Sorry Linda but I have made plans" Lenny shrugged his shoulders as he walked off to cubicles.
"Damn" Linda said out loud as she slammed her hand down on the desk in annoyance.
Zoe finished filling here paper work and made her way over to Linda "no luck then "
"Nope, looks like I going out by myself" Linda smiled weakly.
"Hey Linda I'll come out with you tonight as I could do with a drink"
"Seriously, will you "Linda looked really surprised that Dr Hanna said she will go out drinking as she knew Zoe's old reputation for letting her hair down and having a good time before she settled down with Nick and had her girls. Plus Linda has never been out with her before alone.
"Yeah sounds great" Zoe said cheerfully. That ought to annoy nick Zoe thought to herself.
Linda and Zoe were busy discussing what they will wear tonight and where they will be meeting and what time they will meet.
"I'm just going to phone my mother as I know Nick's working late tonight so he won't be able to look after the girls and I hope my mum will look after them until Nick gets home"
Zoe dialled her mother's number and asked if she could look after the girls and she immediately said "yes" and that she will pick Savannah up and then come and collect Ella and take them both home.
"Thank you mum "Zoe said cheerfully and hung up the phone and told Linda the good news.
"All sorted, but I better just run it past Mr grumpy "Zoe rolled her eyes as she knew he would still be in a mood.
"Good luck "Linda called out in her strong Liverpool accent as Zoe walked towards Nick's office
Zoe walked up to Nick's office and knocked on the door and heard nick all out
"Come in"
Zoe opened the door to see Nick bent over yet more paper work.
Zoe closed the door and cleared her throat which made Nick look up in surprise to see Zoe standing there before him.
"I've just come here to say Mum's having the girls tonight and I am going out tonight with Linda"
"Oh Right is that all?" Nick said rather sarcastically
"Right Fine "Zoe left Nick's office really wanting that drink now but she went to find Linda and tell her the good news who was in resus.
"See you tonight "Zoe said as she caught Linda's eye.
"Oh damn I haven't told Ella " Zoe rushed to the staffroom but found Ella fast asleep on the couch so she slowly woke her.
"Sorry to wake you baby but, I have to tell you Nan will be picking you up and taking you home as she's looking after you and Savannah until dad gets home from work"
"Why?, where are you going?, are you leaving dad?" Ella said with sleep still in her voice.
"Oh, no sweetheart, I'm just having some drinks with friends and then I will be back and as much as I dislike your father right now I still love him alright?, now try and go back to sleep" Zoe said as she moved some of Ella's hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear and placed a kiss on her cheek and pulled the blanket up and tucked Ella in.
"I'm sorry for disobeying you earlier mum and I love you "Ella whispered
"I love you too baby girl" Zoe kissed Ella one more time and then left the staffroom.
Finally it was time for Zoe's shift to end and her mother should of been there by now to pick Ella up and then Zoe could go out.
Finally her mother arrived half an hour late and came rushing into the hospital to find Zoe and Ella waiting at reception.
"I know, sorry I'm late" Joan Hanna said breathlessly as she approached them with Savannah close behind.
"Nan " Ella called and gave her a huge cuddle. Savannah on the other hand rushed up to her mother and gave her a massive hug and Zoe kissed the top of Savannah's head as Zoe wrapped her arms around Savannah.
"Hi sweetheart "Mrs Hannah said as she kissed her daughters cheek.
"Hi Mum and thank you for doing this"
"No sign of Nick then?" Joan asked as she scanned the room.
"No mum, we sort of had an argument"
"Oh I see, well let's get you girls home" Ella and Savannah smiled
"I'll be home soon once I've finished some paper work" Zoe said as she watched her girls go with her mum.
Half an hour later Zoe managed to finish an mountain of paper work and left the ED without saying good bye to Nick as she was still angry with him.
Zoe arrived home to see the girls and her mother bent over the table drawing pictures and doing homework which made Zoe smile at this picture in front of her. Zoe greeted her 2 beautiful girls and then had a quick shower and changed into a silver glitter dress with black killer heels with a light jacket on top of the dress. Zoe then applied Make-up and did her black shiny bob to perfection and sprayed her agent provocateur perfume that Nick had gotten her for Christmas last year. She left her bedroom and went to say good night to the girls.
"Right I'm off, be good for Nan and I will see you in the morning and I love you Both "Zoe gave each girl a kiss on the top of their head and kissed her mother lightly on the cheek and headed towards the door but stopped as she heard Ella and Savannah call out in unison "you look lovely Mum" Zoe smiled and said "thank you girls" and left for her wild night out with Linda.
Back at the ED Nick Finally came out of hiding and stood at the reception desk as it was quiet at that moment for a Friday night.
Nick took a moment to look at his watch and thought about what Zoe would be doing right now and he was worried because she normally gets carried away and that one extra drink always turns in to more with Zoe which always brings her from drunk to plastered.
