Buttons10- angst mean's sadness or tragedy and Tragic and I was thinking I would do a sad angst but it will get better I promise.

Today was Savannah and Ella's dance recital today so both Girls were rather nervous and practicing like crazy round the house with the music blaring. Nick had put Zoe in to work from 9-2pm and Nick put himself in from 6-2 pm so that they both could watch the show. Zoe rushed round the house grabbing hair spray, hair nets, leotards and make-up amongst other things before she started work. Nick started early today so Zoe was on her own rushing round after the girls making sure they had everything for the dance show today.

"are you nervous Girls" Zoe asked as she watched them both practice their well polished routines that they have been practicing for the last couple of weeks before Ella and Britney's thing with Jason a couple of days ago.

Both girls nodded at Zoe s they continued to practice. Zoe checked that both girls had everything before Zoe started grabbed Savannah and put her hair into a neat bun with small French plats. Zoe did the same hair style on Ella who kept moaning that Zoe was pulling her hair to tight for the plats.

"Ouch Mum that hurts" Ella whined

"They need to be tight Ella so stop you whining, anyway I am nearly done now" Zoe said as she finished the bits of Ella's hair.

Zoe dropped Ella and Savannah at the dance school so they had their final practice before the show in the afternoon. Zoe kissed both her girls and told them she will see them later after the show.

Zoe pulled into her usual parking space and turned the ignition off and did one quick check in the rear view mirror as she didn't have much time to sort herself out this morning after running after the girls. Zoe was pleased with how she looked but she need a coffee so she locked the car and went to the small coffee stand that she usually went and got her much needed caffeine.

Zoe walked into the ED sipping her coffee when someone snatched her coffee away and shoved into the bin.

"What the hell" Zoe said as she turned to see who it was who dared to take her coffee away from her this time of the morning.

"You drink way too much coffee and you're late again Dr Hanna" Nick said as he saw the horrified look on Zoe's face which was wiped away by a smirk.

"Seriously Nick? I know I'm late but someone had to sort the girls out and that clearly wasn't going to be you was it and you owe me a coffee" Zoe said sarcastically.

"A quick chat about your lateness Dr Hanna" Nick said trying to sound professional.

Zoe rolled her eyes and followed Nick into his office. Zoe walked in and stood opposite Nick who sat down at his office.

"Look Nick, I don't really have time for this" Zoe said as she leant forward on the chair and to Nick's surprise he could see down Zoe's blouse as she leant forward waiting for him to answer her.

"Nick, my eyes are up here" Zoe said as she pointed upwards to her face. This brought Nick back to down to earth.

"Well Dr Hanna we are in here because you have been late several days in a row and this doesn't look good on us as a team" Nick said as he glanced once more at Zoe's chest.

"I'm sorry Nick that has never bothered you before, so what's happened to change that" Zoe demanded.

"Well I'm afraid Henry has picked up on it and I am only just warning you Zoe that's all"

"Great well thanks for the warning, but can I go now?, will i see you at the dance show?" Zoe asked as she went to walk out Nick's office

"Yes you can go Zoe, I will becoming so see at reception at 2?" Nick asked as he watched Zoe nod and walked back to work.

Zoe's shift went very quickly and rather smoothly but for Nick being the clinical lead had to stay behind as there was a major crash on the motor way where multiple injuries were being brought in and Lenny, Sam and Dylan was being left to deal with them so Nick chose to stay behind. so when 2pm came round Nick was already dealing with several patients whilst Zoe waited at reception checking her watch when Nick came out covered in blood with a sad look on his face.

"I'm sorry but I won't be able to go to the girls dance show Zoe, I am absolutely snowed under with work" Nick said as he saw the hurt in Zoe's eyes.

"Ok fine, clearly work comes first with you then, anyway it's not me you've got to say sorry to Nick" Zoe said as she turned and walked away.

"Zoe, wait" But Zoe just ignored Nick as she was rather upset that he chose to work rather than see their girls dance.

Nick sighed as he watched Zoe walk away defeated. Nick pulled his mobile out of his pocket and tried ringing Zoe but she clearly wasn't picking up her phone so Nick sent a text hoping she would text him back.

Zo, I'm sorry and I will make it up to you and the girls I promise, Love you N xxxx

Zoe never did text Nick back, Nick walked back into resus and carried on trying to save lives even though his heart wasn't in his job today as he kept thinking about Zoe and the way she walked away and the look he could imagine on the girls faces as they looked for him in the crowd.

Zoe got to the dance school with plenty of time so she stood with a few of the other mothers that she knew from the dance school and helped herself to a drink as she mingled with some of the other mothers.

"Where's you other half tonight Zoe "Sarah asked

"Oh he had to stay behind at work as they needed him" Zoe said cheerfully as she really knew the answer.

"Oh that's a shame" Sarah smiled and took a sip of her drink.

A few moments later the bell rang for start of the show so Zoe went and sat in the second row from the front with Sarah and a few other friends. Zoe looked to see where her girls where on the show, Savannah was on after the first dance then a couple after that and Ella was in nearly every dance.

When the first dance was over and everyone clapped it was Savannah's turn Zoe smiled as she watched Savannah take to the stage and started dancing to Queen don't stop me now Zoe started crying as she was so proud of Savannah and Nick should be here so thought to herself as she watched Savannah dance.

Sorry that was rather rubbish but it will get better in the next chapter I promise .
