Danny slammed the doors shut as he left, He walked outside and sat on the fire escape stairs next to the car park, and he pulled his cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one. He pulled a small picture out of his wallet and smiled slightly at it. It was a picture of Nick and Karen with Daniel up on Darwin. He smiled at how happy they looked. A tear fell from his eye, he'd ruined it all with his dad, just like he had with his mum. He looked up as he heard footsteps approaching him.
Zoe lit her cigarette and smiled slightly at Daniel, "Does your Dad know you smoke?"
Daniel smirked, "Does he know you smoke?" He chuckled slightly and took another drag of his cigarette.
Zoe smiled, "Why do you think I come round here."
Daniel chuckled and put the picture in his pocket. Zoe frowned slightly and went to see the picture, "What's that?" She asked as she took a drag of her cigarette. Daniel pulled the picture back out of his pocket and held it up to Zoe, "It was taken up on Darwin a few years back, I was only 4 or 5."
Zoe smiled as she saw Nick and Daniel. "He does love you y'know." She glanced up at Daniel
Daniel shook his head and took a final drag of his cigarette, "Funny way of showing it."
Zoe sighed and threw her cigarette on the floor, "Come back inside, please Daniel. Listen to what he has to say."
Daniel shook his head and stood up, "I've heard it all before. Mum was right, he's not fit to be a father."
Zoe frowned and stood in his way, "He's heartbroken in there. He might not show it to you but as you stormed off he broke down in tears, I've never seen him like that! He loves you Daniel, give him the chance to make it up to you. If he doesn't make the effort then yeah you can go and stay away from each other but please Daniel, for me."
Daniel sighed and nodded, "Alright then but I'm doing this for you not him."
Zoe smiled and stood to the side, "Thank you."
Daniel smiled over at her as they walked back into the ED, "He never mentioned me did he?"
Zoe shook her head slightly, "Once, maybe twice." She sighed and looked over at Charlie
Charlie mouthed over to them both, "Everything ok?"
Zoe nodded and pressed the button for the lift.
Nick sat in his office with his head on the desk, breathing deeply. He looked up slightly at a photo on his desk; it was the same photo as Daniel had just with the photo of himself and Meyer covering Karen's face. He smiled slightly at Daniel on the photo before breaking down again, covering his face with his hands. Zoe knocked once on the door before walking in with Daniel close behind. Nick quickly wiped his eyes and tried to look professional. Daniel sighed lightly and looked away. Zoe huffed and folded her arms, standing between them both.
"Right, you're both as stubborn as each other. Just make up with each other for god's sake! You're obviously upset about your dad, thinking he doesn't love you?" She looked over at Daniel, who nodded, "And you think he hates you and you've lost your son, yes?" She looked over at Nick who nodded silently. "Right then that's sorted, just make up!" Zoe smiled slightly at them both and walked outside.
Daniel smirked at Nick, "I can see why you're marrying her then." Nick chuckled slightly and walked over to Daniel, putting his arms round him, "I'm sorry Danny."
Daniel wrapped his arms around Nick and started to cry, "I'm sorry too Dad."
