A/N: I've wanted Sedward back together since he arrived haha I think I like them more than Janny right now that's why I'm blocked on Janny haha anyway let me know what you think. Bear with me it's nearly 1am! But if I don't do this now I'll forget and get annoyed when I can't type it ha.
After Edward left Serena and Eleanor sat on the sofa, "Mum."
"Yes?" Serena asked.
"I urmm… this is going to sound weird but… but if you want to be back with dad don't stop yourself because of me," Eleanor said quietly she had spoken to her granny earlier and they got onto topic of Serena and Edward, "Is it still OK if I got out?"
"Yeah it's fine," Serena felt really embarrassed now had their daughter been able to read them, "What makes you think we want to be back together?"
"You couldn't take your eyes off dad tonight," Eleanor answered Serena went red, "But are you sure he's… true?"
"I don't want to get back with him Ellie," Serena needed to cut this conversation, it was bad enough she hadn't been able to hide any looks, "OK we're just friends."
"Uh-huh," Eleanor sat back, "You don't need to deny it… I knew it would happen… actually granny and myself did."
"What?" Serena had no idea her mother had predicted this, "What did she say?"
"She told me to keep an eye out… she knows what dad's like and how you can melt into him when you want," Eleanor sighed she wanted her mother to be happy but she couldn't help but wonder, if her dad was the person to make her happy, "But is dad really the person to…"
"Eleanor nothing is going on," Serena twiddled with her necklace again how could've she been so stupid? She thought she kept her looks secret she didn't know her daughter was watching, "OK and it never will."
"Dad wants it as much as you," Eleanor remembered when they were in the hospital. Edward denied it clearly hiding his true feelings, "He kept on denying saying he didn't love you but I know he did," Eleanor loved how she could use Psychology skills, "I think if you were to get back together with dad, you would need to think carefully."
"I don't need to be careful because nothing is going to happen alright," Serena stood up and walked into the kitchen her mind was all over the place.
"Mum no one will blame you for still having feelings for dad," Eleanor sat on the stool, "You know I'm right."
"No Eleanor you're wrong," Serena unloaded the dishwasher, "Why would I still have feelings for him?" she asked then rubbed her forehead she felt a migraine coming on and had a feeling, her encounter earlier with Edward was the cause.
"Because you were married once upon a time, you have a daughter and no matter how much you deny it both of you know each other too well," Eleanor picked at some grapes, "And the way you were at dinner tonight," she placed a grape in her mouth.
"If this is some Psychology trick then you can forget an answer," Serena placed the final cup in the cupboard then sat on the counter, "I'm not being tricked into this."
"Mum," Eleanor sighed and leant her head on the counter, "Just admit it."
"Eleanor be quiet," Serena ordered, "OK I've got a massive migraine coming on so just leave it," she looked in the cupboard for her Paramax sachets she only had one left, "Great," she ripped open the sachet poured it into a glass then filled it with cold water the water fizzed, spitting as it dissolved. After about a minute Serena swung the drink back the horrible lemon taste made her urge, "Medicine has come so far, yet they still haven't made medication to taste nice."
"I need to get ready but if you want another go," Eleanor waved Serena's phone in her mother's face, "Don't hesitate because you worry about me."
"Haven't you got a club to be gate crashing?" Serena asked impatiently her head was throbbing the Paramax was taking a while.
"I need to get ready," Eleanor placed the phone on the counter, "Just be careful mum dad's just getting divorced… I hope he's not using you for the rebound."
"And like I said I'm not in love," Serena sighed Eleanor rolled her eyes and went upstairs to get ready. Serena sat at the counter Paramax was finally taking effect.
Next morning Serena walked into work Eleanor had crashed at Gabby's, she had woke up to a bunch of texts that made no sense at all.
"Morning Serena," Ric greeted.
"Morning Ric," Serena didn't look at him she was far too embarrassed from yesterday.
"I trust you're feeling better?" Ric asked Serena nodded it was early Ric and Serena were making their way to the kitchen.
In the staffroom Edward was talking with Gemma and Harry.
"I've always wanted to go to Scotland," Gemma said.
"What part?" Harry asked.
"Edinburgh and also up on the Highlands," Gemma answered Edward nodded understanding why the Highlands attracted her.
"Highlands are beautiful," Edward pictured the wonderful scene in his head, "It's where Serena and I got married."
"Aww wow," Gemma looked all dreamy, "Was it cold?"
"It snowed a bit," Edward remembered when it snowed the beautiful white snow landing on the ground, the white snow drops landing on their hair and face, "It was beautiful cold but amazing."
"So is she Scottish then?" Harry asked curiously.
"Half Scottish," Edward corrected, "I used to wind her up when singing Auld Lang Syne because her dad made her sing the Scottish way."
"Scottish way?" Harry looked confused.
"Yeah Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish song," Gemma knocked on his head, "Didn't you know that?"
"What's it mean?" Harry asked Edward.
"Times long past," Edward answered, "But the part where it goes: And there's a hand my trusty friend ! And give us a hand o' thine ! And we'll take a right good-will draught, for Auld Lang Syne, she hates it because it's not how she was bought up singing it."
"What does she do?" Gemma asked.
"Gives me the evil eye and corrects me," Edward laughed at the many New Years memories most of them ending up with them being in the bath tub and feeling very sorry in the morning.
"I never remember New Years," Harry admitted, "I woke up in the bath tub once… that went down well."
"Oh I woke up in the bath many times," Edward shrugged, "I remember pulling Serena in with me once… think I had her held too tight because she didn't move."
Michael walked in, "When are you and Serena gonna get back together?" Michael asked pulling up a chair, "What?"
"We're not," Edward answered, "Why you asking?"
"I'm sorry but I've seen the way you two act," Michael laughed, "It's almost like you're still married."
"Nothing is going on," Edward sat back tiredly he hadn't slept well partly because thoughts of Serena were running through his mind, "And she hates my guts."
"If the look she's been wearing around you is the look of hatred what the heck is the look of love?" Michael asked he had noticed it too like everyone else, she was no longer glaring at Edward constantly; her facial expression almost looked human when he walked past, "Come on all of you have noticed right?"
"I don't tend to observe Ms Campbell," Harry laughed, "But I have noticed a difference in look."
"Yeah it's more of a gaze now instead of a glare," Michael remembered one time he had to actually bring her out of a gaze, "Quite funny when she tries to hide it."
"Nothing is going on," Edward repeated but he felt the tight feeling in his stomach returning, all heads turned when Ric and Serena walked in, "Mooorning."
"Can I have a word with you?" Serena asked Edward, "In private."
"Of course," Edward stood up Serena led them both to her office, "What's up?"
"I had an interesting conversation with Ellie last night," Serena sat down on the sofa, "She said she's not bothered if we…" she couldn't the sentence.
"If we?" Edward pushed.
"You know," Serena raised an eyebrow, "Oh use your brain."
Edward sat on the sofa next to her, "Are you saying that Eleanor isn't bothered if we became an item?" she nodded, "What took you so long to say?"
"I was thinking about what we said yesterday… I urmm," Serena went red she couldn't get the words out it was like she was mentally blocked.
"Don't you mean did?" Edward corrected Serena turned her head, "Sorry… so what are you trying to say?"
"I don't know," Serena couldn't get words out she was mentally blocked completely.
"I'll make it simple… we're both free agents," he saw her lips twitch at the use of the word "free agents", "Yesterday showed our candles hadn't burnt out completely."
Again she laughed slightly at his choice of words, Edward rubbed his neck a sign he was nervous, "Now who needs the hot bath?" Serena retorted his suggestions from yesterday.
"As I was saying yesterday and also we're both single… it really is hard," Edward rubbed his neck again, "Why do you have to be so hard?" he asked but then his eyes grew with humour Serena's eyes did too they both looked at each other and suddenly laughter burst out, Edward enjoyed seeing her laugh it was a rare occasion he couldn't resist it he leapt forward and tickled her.
"Get off," she said through laughter, "Edward get off!" She kicked but that didn't stop him, "Off."
"Why?" Edward asked, "Weren't saying that yesterday," he watched as she playfully looked insulted he grabbed her hand as she went to hit him, "Got cha," he pinned her down by the hands.
"This isn't the best place," Serena turned her eyes to the door, "After all I share this office and also-"
"You really have forgotten how to do these things haven't you?" Edward got off her smiling, "Only disadvantage about this place… it's smaller than SG's."
Serena sat up blushing slightly, "A lot smaller," she stood up, "What I was trying to say was."
"Serena are you trying to say give it another go?" Edward felt it was so much for him to say it she was taking flipping ages! Serena shrugged, "Because we haven't got Eleanor to worry about now… she's given you permission."
"Mum will kill me," Serena tilted her head back she was so confused, "If we… give it another try it'll be kept quiet."
"You really think I'd give those lot the satisfaction of being proved right?" Edward asked.
"I don't trust you Edward… but for some reason by head is saying get with you," Serena sighed very heavily, "It's complicated."
"Haven't we always been?" Edward leant against the desk, "I understand you can't trust me."
"And I wouldn't be surprised if you… once again bedded another young woman," Serena sat on the sofa Edward walked back over, "But it's just… frustrating."
"Again?" Edward joked Serena laughed, "You really haven't had much recently."
"Shut up," Serena hit his arm, "Anyway we best get back before they start searching."
"I'm willing if you are?" Edward stood up Serena looked up at him, "Only if you are."
"I guess it could be fun," Serena suddenly looked mischievous Edward noticed it too, "What?" she asked he was looking at her strangely, "What?"
"You," Edward poked her nose, "I seem to make you act very strange."
"We know each other too well," Serena knew it was the wrong thing do, she knew she would get hurt, she knew that he wouldn't be faithful but she wanted him and he was willing why shouldn't she have some fun?, "Far too well."
"Remember when James locked us in the store cupboard?" Edward asked, "He was determined we didn't break up after that row in theatre."
"Pathetic thing to fall out over," Serena finally admitted, "But yes I remember."
In the staff room there was a certain topic being spoke about, "I'm telling you look them in the store cupboard," Harry slammed his hand down to prove his point, "Only way."
"You want to lock Serena and Edward in a cupboard?" Michael asked now confused, "Are you looking for a death wish?"
"Even Edward said nothing was going on," Gemma reminded, "If we lock them in… it'll be like trapping vinegar and bicarbonate of soda in a bottle and putting the lid on."
"Bang!" Michael demonstrated, "Edward will be murdered and Serena will be in prison."
"I say let's try it," Harry decided, "Come on admit it even you want to see what they're like together, together."
"Count me out," Ric was not planning on being Serena's next kidney dish target.
"Fine Gemma will do it with," Harry gestured his hands towards Gemma she looked shocked, "I know you'd like to see what they're like together, together."
"Yeah but I want to keep my job," Gemma had to agree it would be interesting, "OK I'll do it."
"How do you suppose to get them in there?" Michael asked curious, "Because I know Serena will suss it immediately."
"Page and hijack," Harry winked.
Serena and Edward were walking back to the staff room when they got hijacked, "Hey get off!" Edward shouted he was then pushed into somewhere.
"Take your hands off me!" Serena was pushed in, "Ahh!" she screamed and ended up pushing Edward over she fell on top of him, "Sorry," Serena got off him looking very red.
"What the bloody hell happened?" Edward asked confused he then realised where they were, "Oh very funny."
"What?" but then Serena noticed too, "Oh ha-ha let us out."
Harry and Gemma were laughing silently they ran off leaving Serena and Edward, "One hour," Harry said whilst running back into the staff room with Gemma, "I bet you."
"You're looking for trouble," Ric disapproved of their behaviour but also found it quite smart thinking.
Serena walked around looking annoyed, "Immature bastards!" she hit the door, "Well do something!" she ordered her now kind of new/old flame.
"We're stuck," Edward couldn't open the door, "Whoever done this has stolen the key," Edward sighed, "This is ridiculous."
"Still think the junior's are fun?" Serena asked with her arms folded, Edward shrugged.
"You know we could make the most of this time," Edward winked giving out a hint which Serena only knew too well.
"Edward have you forgotten what I told you yesterday?" Serena asked Edward put on a thinking face.
"What did you tell me?" he asked he had completely forgot.
"I'm on," Serena pointed out Edward then remembered.
"You didn't mind yesterday," he walked over to her placed his arms around her neck, "Did you?"
"And like I also said I do not plan to get pregnant," she also added.
"Well this is a store cupboard which means you store stuff here," Edward pointed out the obvious.
"Well done Einstein," Serena praised patronisingly, "Hence the name store cupboard," she raised an eyebrow.
"So considering we also provide sexual health there's got to be something here," Edward suggested Serena rolled her eyes.
"No wonder Milly, Molly, Mandy divorced you, you probably made her exhausted," Serena tilted her head back, "Well get looking then."
"Sexually frustrated again? And I apparently make people exhausted," Edward looked around Serena made a "huuh" sound her mouth dropped open, "Ah hah," Edward came across a packet, "Looks like somebody already owns this place."
Only five minutes into the lock in and they were all ready at it, "Are you doing this or not?" Serena asked impatiently.
"Give me a second," Edward ordered, "Impatient buggar."
"Well if you don't want any," Serena walked around the store cupboard Edward pushed her to the floor arms pinned down to the sides.
"This answer your question?" he asked grinning whilst he planted kisses on her collar bone, "Well?"
"Always kept me waiting," Serena laughed as his kisses tickled, "OK…. Ok… let's just do it."
"Yes boss," Edward winked about fifteen minutes later they were laid together, "Now wouldn't this be seen as a suck up attempt?"
"Play your cards right I might just think of a permanent post," Serena teased Edward laughed, "Would you take it if there was one?"
"Maybe," Edward replied he stroked her hair, "Least this time we know it's locked," he looked at the door, "Least a nurse won't walked in this time," he remembered one time they had just started off at St George's and they were in an unlockable store cupboard, unfortunately a nurse walked in making her scream they both ran out, "I'll never forget that."
"I managed to push it out of my mind," Serena said Edward laughed slightly, "Don't think I'm giving you special treatment," she pointed her finger at him.
"Oh of course," Edward grabbed the finger and pushed her further into him, "Not even if I do this?" he placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Really?" Serena questioned his action but then he planted two on her cheeks, "No I'm treating you the same as everyone… else," she burst into fit of giggles as he tickled her, "I'm not treating you annnnny differERNTLY!" She screamed the end of the word because he made her laugh so hard, "I can't breathe," she then sat up, "Ouch."
"Oh sorry did I hurt you?" Edward didn't sound sorry at all he sounded more sarcastic than ever, Serena turned to eye him with a half glare but the other part was a painful look.
"Just because Milly, Molly, Mandy gave it to you every night," Serena frowned.
"Wasn't every night," Edward corrected Serena rolled her eyes, "It's rude to roll your eyes."
"It's a suck up to shag your boss," Serena put back on her clothes, "And of course," she placed on her top, "Wouldn't want the hospital knowing our business."
"Of course," Edward smiled, "Feeling any better?"
"Not really," Serena leant her head against the wall a migraine returning, "Well that just proves it."
"What?" Edward asked.
"You give me migraines," Serena massaged her temples but it didn't help it was fast approaching the pressure building in her skull.
Edward pulled her back into him, "Have you got any pain relief?" he asked Serena shook her head, "Do you feel nauseous?" Edward asked and Serena shook her head, "How's this?" he used two fingers on each side to massage her aching temples.
"Yeah," Serena answered it was helping the pressure was reliving Edward took his hands away, "Why'd you stop?"
Edward got dressed himself then sat back down, "Lay down," he patted his lap, "Come on."
Serena needed to lay her head down it was throbbing she laid down, Edward turned off the light, "You didn't need to do that."
"Migraines and light even you know that's a bad combination," Edward felt her relax he got out his phone to check for anything, "I'm not popular this morning."
"You never were," Serena mumbled, "When I find out who locked us in here they better have a good explanation."
Edward stroked her hair he knew it helped her relax, "Probably just some idiots who thought it would be funny."
"Very funny," Serena looked at Edward though she couldn't see him it was dark, "Why do you want me?"
Edward frowned in the dark she couldn't see but by his body language, she could feel she had confused him, "What question is that?" Edward asked.
"It's a valid question... why do you want me?" Serena pushed for an answer.
"Because I realised what a mistake I made," Edward answered he felt her head lift off his lap, "Keep your head down if you want it to pass."
"Trust it to be another store cupboard where we... 'reunite'," Serena pushed two fingers up and down Edward laughed he patted her head, "Ouch migraine!"
"We'll be let out soon," Edward said he smiled down at Serena, "Then you can plan your revenge."
One hour later Harry decided enough time had been wasted Edward heard the door key going, Serena did too she stood up with help of Edward and the pair stood arms folded waiting for the door to open.
"Someone said they heard a disturbance coming from inside here," Harry lied, "So I came to get you."
"How thoughtful Doctor Tressler too bad the news hadn't spread earlier," Serena said sarcastically Edward laughed, "Now I have a job to do."
"Don't I get a thank you for saving you?" Harry asked.
"No," Serena gave Edward a very small nod she then walked off, Edward looked incredibly ready to burst out laughing whilst Harry felt more embarrassed.
"When are you two going to get together?" Harry asked cheekily, "Who else would've had the idea to lock you two in?" He showed Edward the keys.
Harry ran Edward knew it was Harry from the moment he opened the door; only Harry would think like his best friend back at St George's.
A/N 2: I honestly don't know where on earth that chapter came from it's very late so it might not make sense. I finally got them together! Edward is keen haha anywho night all review please (: x
