A/N: Last time: Nita escaped major harm with only a slight concussion and a broken leg, Kirsty said that she hasn't accepted Warren's death; and told Adam that he and Nita were the only people she was still alive for...

Hi again, and I'm kind of depressed after RE this week; we watched My Sister's Keeper, and I sobbed like a baby... and other stuff happened; so sorry if this chapter is really long, angsty or depressing...

KirstyPOV

What was I thinking, telling Adam that? He was right, though... I haven't really accepted what happened to Warren. I sighed, and walked over to a bench beneath the staffroom window. I dusted off a few stray leaves and twigs and sat down. I had built up an image of strength and independence, but I just let my barriers collapse, and sobbed into my hands.

I sat there for about ten minutes before someone came and sat by me. I didn't know who it was at first, but I saw that it was Lenny.

"I was looking for you; Nita's scan came back clear, her leg should be fine as long as it's in a cast, and her head has just had a few bandages on it," he said, and I sighed in relief.

"Thank God! Thank you so much," I said and reached up to kiss his cheek. He gave me a quick squeeze and led me back into the warm ED.

Lenny still had his arm around my shoulder as he led me into RESUS to see Nita. She was propped up, and had a purple cast on her leg.

"Hey mum, Jay let me choose the colour of my cast and signed it, he lent me his Sharpie pen, and will you sign it?" she asked all at once. I smiled; this was the Nita I knew.

"Yeah, sure sweetie," I said as Lenny left the room to give us some space.

"Mum," Nita asked as I popped the lid off Jay's marker.

"Yeah?"

"You know when that Tess lady told you that you weren't working; why was that? I thought that you'd just gone on a break or something..." she asked and I added a kiss under my little message.

"Adam suggested that you, I and he went on a holiday somewhere; Cornwall, Devon or somewhere nice... so we could behave like a family more..." I told her.

"And that doctor who was treating me, Lenny; why was he holding you like that?" she asked again, starting to bug me a little.

"I was a little upset, and that's just his way of saying, 'hush, it's okay'... he's not a sappy-lovey-dovey bloke." I told her. "So what do you think of this holiday thing? Would you like that, only for one or two weeks? What do you say?"

She thought for a moment. "If I say yes, can you understand that I don't wanna call him 'dad'? He thinks he's gonna replace Dad, but I don't wanna forget him... Can you understand that?" she asked.

I perched on the bed next to her and held her close. "Sweetheart, I never told you that Adam was replacing Warren, he's just gonna be my new husband. You can still call him Adam, whatever you want," I said, kissing her hair. "No, scrap that..." I said, holding her so I could see her face. "Not whatever you want..." I corrected myself, and Nita laughed.

As if right on cue, Adam walked in, "Hey."

"Hey, Adam!" Nita said, acknowledging his arrival. He walked over to us, kissed Nita on the forehead and reached over to me; kissing my cheek as well. "Eww, as I said before; still here!" Nita laughed.

"How are you?" Adam asked her, tapping her purple cast with his fingertip.

"It's okay; the pain's okay as long as I've had some pain relief... so it's doing its job," she smiled.

"Good, now Kirsty, you ok?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"Yeah, about earlier... I'm ready," I told him, and he held out his hand for me to take. Nita looked confused.

"What's wrong? I don't understand?" she said, and I looked at her.

"I'm going down to the chapel, to see your dad. I need to... to see him; I haven't accepted that he's gone, sweetie," I told her, hoping that this wasn't too much for her.

"I wanna come too, I need to see him," she insisted. I looked at Adam for a possible outcome, but he simply shrugged.

"I'll ask Lenny if I can take Nita down in a wheelchair, letting her leg rest; she can still come," he said and I thought about it for a few moments.

She needs to see her dad, she's like you; she mightn't have accepted it... The voices and decisions whirled around in my head; I looked at Nita, who was pleading with her eyes, and then at Adam.

"Okay, I'll go with you to ask Lenny, we'll be back in five," I told Nita.

"'Kay," she said, reaching for her phone, that was slightly scratched due to the fall, but was okay for her to still use. She was probably updating twitter or facebook.

Adam was holding the door open for me as we left the room where Nita had been moved. Lenny was standing next to Noel, who was talking with Jay and Mac.

"Lenny, can we have a minute?" Adam asked, and Lenny obliged, laughing at the epic fail of a joke that Mac had just tried to tell.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, it's just that Kirsty and I were going to see her husband, and Nita wants to come; so if I wheel her down in a wheelchair, will she be okay?" Adam asked.

"Yeah, we were going to discharge her today, but not after she learns how to use the crutches, but all the tests show just a broken leg and a small cut on her head; which is healing... so yes, she's safe," Lenny said, and I smiled.

"Thanks, Lenny; you've been an angel," I said.

"Well..." Lenny said, and Adam lightly punched his arm. "Tell Nita to get well soon, from all of us," Lenny smiled, and I thanked him.

"Come on, Kirst, let's go," Adam said, and he went to fetch a wheelchair off Mac. He pushed it into Nita's room and I followed, helping her onto the chair.

"You ready for this?" I asked her, and she had a sort of blank expression on her face.

"I dunno... maybe,"

"Right, let's go," Adam said, starting to push Nita out of the room.

AdamPOV

"Noel, can you ring the chapel telling them Kirsty and Nita are on their way down?" I asked Noel.

"Yeah, sure thing," Noel replied, picking up the phone. Kirsty pressed the button on the lift, opening the doors and I wheeled Nita inside, Kirsty stepping in beside me.

I held out my hand for her to take, and she did, threading her fingers between mine. I looked at her engagement ring, and twiddled it round her ringer, she smiled at me.

"Doors opening: 1st floor," the mechanical voice said. Kirsty stepped out first, holding the doors open for me and Nita.

"Ah, Kirsty, and this must be Nita?" a nurse asked as we stepped out of the lift and started down the corridor.

"Hey, Janet," Kirsty said, acknowledging the woman who'd approached us.

"Noel just called down; Warren's this way," she said leading us down the corridor to a room with a blue door. The room was called 'Morgue Chapel room 5' there were obviously other families down here somewhere.

"I'll be outside if you need me, Kirsty," Janet told her as she backed out of the room, leaving me, Nita and Kirsty alone with Warren's lifeless corpse in front of us.

A/N: Hey, me here! Sorry, just had a cup of tea with about five sugars, (dunno why) and I'm super hyper... and listening to Ed Sheeran who is my total favourite singer/ rapper/ songwriter...

Aargh, having Kadam and Doctor Who withdrawal - need to hop over to YouTube to help - give us a min... *closes down Word for a few seconds*... back...

I should be back tomorrow or later today to give you another update, 'cause I'm cool like that... DDM x
