Zoe blew the cigarette smoke out and sighed, "He's stable, For Now."
Nick sighed and put his head in his hands, "Thank God."
Zoe frowned and took another drag of her cigarette, "What did you say to him Nick?"
"That doesn't matter now."
"Of course it does. It must have been something bad for him to react like that?"
"That I wish i'd used a condom the night he was conceived." Nick muttered and looked at the floor
Zoe frowned and shook her head furiously, "D'you know what Nick, I really don't believe you sometimes!"
"I didn't mean it though. I was angry."
"Angry? Why because he got his girlfriend pregnant?"
"I'm only just getting used to the idea of becoming a dad again and then I get told i'm gonna be a granddad! Sorry for not jumping for joy!"
Zoe threw her cigarette to the ground and walked off without saying a word
"Zoe!"
"I don't wanna hear it anymore Nick."
...
Louise sat next to Daniel's bed holding his hand and crying softly, "Please wake up Danny."
"He'll be asleep for a god few hours yet." Charlie answered whilst checking Daniel's pulse
"Why though. What's wrong with him?"
"You know he has epilepsy?"
"Yeah, but he always said he'd grow out of it."
"Well the bang to the head caused it. Do you know if he took his medication whilst in prison?"
"As far as I know, yeah."
"We'll just have to keep an eye on what he takes and how much of it."
"Will he be able to go home tomorrow?"
"I don't think so, we need to keep him in for observation."
Louise sighed and put Daniel's hand to her stomach. Charlie looked at them both with a raised eyebrow. "Does Nick know?"
"That's why he's here. Nick wasn't too happy about it."
"Nick pushed him over?"
Louise nodded, "Danny punched him so Nick pushed him over."
Charlie shook his head and sighed, "How far gone are you?"
"3 months, it's my first scan tomorrow."
"Louis' having a baby aswell. Well not Louis personally, but you catch my drift."
Louise nodded and smiled, "I seen Louis this morning in town. I see him quite often actually, he comes into my work quite a lot."
"You see more of him than I do."
Louise smiled as Daniel squeezed her hand gently, "He's waking up."
Charlie glanced over at Daniel before re checking his obs.
Daniel groaned groggily, "Lou.."
Louise smiled and rubbed his hand softly with her thumb, "I'm here babe."
"What happened?"
"You had a fit babe."
"You had quite a few. Gave us a bit of a scare there Dan." Charlie said with a smile.
"I haven't had a fit in years."
"Well you made up or that in the past few hours." Charlie said with a grin
Zoe opened the door to Resus and walked over to Daniel, "How are you feeling?"
"I'll leave you all to it." Charlie said with a smile as he left.
"Sore. Confused. Annoyed. The usual." Daniel smirked
"Yeah. Your Dad wants to see you."
"Well you can tell him I said get stuffed. He's the reason im in here!"
"In all fairness Danny you hit him first."
"Did he tell you what he said?"
"Yeah he did."
"Wouldn't you react the same. It's obvious he doesn't want to know us so why stay around."
"He really wants to see you Danny. He wants to apologise."
"Do you really think a sorry is gonna make me feel better?"
"No, but you can at least listen to each other and try and get along. You're about to become a Dad Danny, you need him there."
"Why?"
"To support you, guide you. You've never done this before, he can help you."
"What and end up like him. You're fucking kidding me!"
"Please Danny. Just give him a chance."
"Hold On. I'm getting a sense of Deja Vu here. I'm sure you said that earlier. That was his chance and he fucking blew it. He never gave me any chances. Never gave me a chance to explain what happened that day! He just believed what the police told him and didn't care about me! He told them to lock me up! I never want to see him again. Can you get me out of here, i need to get away. Come on Lou'."
"I don't want to go." Louise muttered
"You have to."
"I don't. We can't do this on our own Danny. What if you go back to prison?"
"Who says im gonna go back? You think I beat them guys up aswell don't you?"
"Danny calm down." Zoe said, placing a hand on his arm, "The more worked up you get, the more likely you are to have another fit."
"Do you think I fucking care. You've all turned against me. He's turned you all against me!"
"No-ones turned anyone against you Danny. We're all on your side." Zoe said calmly as she beckoned Nick into the room.
"We are Danny. I believe you, I know you didn't purposely beat those guys up, you were defending your family. I believe you mate. I'm sorry for not coming to see you, I was scared. I didn't want to believe that my son was in prison and the best way for me to think that was not to go. I love you Danny, you're still my little boy, no matter how old you are. If you don't want to see me then fine but I needed to get that off my chest." Nick turned to walk back out of Resus.
"Wait." Danny shouted after him, "Do you really mean that?"
"Of course." Nick said with a smile
