Two days since Serena had been made CEO and she was loving it, Ric was happy sharing again and with the post for Exec CEO it meant all the consultants were trying their best to impress Serena. Though in her own mind Serena only had one person she would put for Exec CEO but also her other possibility was on her mind too and right now she was sat waiting for her possible CEO's: Jac Naylor and Ric Griffin.
Jac knocked on the office door and they were told to enter, "Please make this quick Serena… I've got to be in theatre soon," Jac said holding her back.
"Or more like you've got to sit down," Ric advised the young red head, "Take it easy Jac I don't want you giving birth in theatre."
"Yeah maybe it might be operating on your next wife," Jac winked.
"Not funny," Ric said then it clicked to him, "Very funny… if you dare do a Connie…you'll never live it down."
Jac sat back and placed her biscuits on her ever growing bump she laughed sarcastically, "Oh believe me Effanga and Maconie will probably end up dragging me out before I can reach the theatre they are driving me round the bend."
"They're just concerned," Ric said eyeing her bump, "So Serena cut to the chase."
"Sit down," Serena ordered Ric and he sat on the leather sofa next to Jac, "Now I have given this a lot of thought."
"Cut to the chase," Jac ordered grumpily, "I've got a doughnut waiting for me and then I have an operation to start."
"Now I don't want you to take it as a discrimination Ms Naylor as I am all for girl power and work until your due date," Serena leant on her new desk, "But before you got off on one," she looked at Jac, "There be something else for you…but at this time right now I've chosen Mr Griffin."
"Really?" Ric asked grinning, "I thought you were all for girl power."
"Right so what's this something else for me?" Jac asked curiously.
"I have plans… now you may disagree but after your little person is out," Serena walked over and sat on one of the bean bags Ric had brought as a joke, for if they ever wanted to have a drinking session or if their desks ever got too boring much out of his character it was a drunken buy.
"Go on then," Jac said tapping her bump, "Wee Bonnie Bairn's giving me a right kicking."
Serena smiled lightly, "Nurse Maconie?"
"Oh yeah he wanted to name the bump so he chose Wee Bonnie Bairn," Jac shrugged smiling lightly, "And it's stuck."
"Cute…anyway I remember hearing you say how you would like to work with John Harrowman just for a day," Serena saw Jac's eyes light up, "Now I want you two to keep this top secret not even to Satan hear me?"
"Crystal," Ric said.
"Clear," Jac added.
"I've been getting in contact with James and Amelia," Serena handed them two printed out emails, "And I've been thinking…that maybe you Ms Naylor of course after your little person is born you could do a change over's with St George's and here."
The one thing Jac had been wanting to do for years work for John Harrowman she was about to agree but then she remembered her daughter's condition, "Serena I…" Jac sighed heavily, "It's a lovely thought….but I can't…I'm sorry but I can't," Jac stood up but she felt a bit light headed, she swayed sideways.
"Woah, woah, woah," both Serena and Ric grabbed an arm each, Serena sat her back down and got her a bottle of water, "Drink this."
"Ughh," Jac felt really nauseous, "I thought it was over."
"I didn't mean straight after she was born Jac," Serena sat on the arm rest, "Obviously when she's a bit bigger."
"Serena," Jac cut her off, "My baby…she might not…" Jac suddenly found herself spilling it out she knew that Ric would not tell anyone, and it would become obvious something was wrong after the baby was born.
"She might not what?" Serena asked concerned Jac then put her head down, "Jac?"
"She…she…might not make it after birth," Jac felt tears slip down her face, "She's got a…she's got a diaphragmatic congenital hernia."
Serena and Ric both looked at each other shocked in their eyes and other emotions, "Oh Jac I'm…I'm so sorry."
"But she's got a fifty percent chance of survival so I'm trying to stay positive," she pulled herself together, "Only thing is…after she's born it's going to be months of waiting I can't just leave her there."
"I wouldn't expect you too," Serena said sympathetically, "Look I understand how important your job is to you…but Mr Griffin is right don't push yourself."
"You're both sounding like Maconie and Effanga," Jac laughed lightly, "Who are both driving me crazy…can't you give them paid leave until she's born?"
"That should be you," Serena corrected her, "If you want…I can always get John to come here."
"Sacha won't be too pleased about that," Jac laughed, "Yeah he's told me about his little disagreement with him."
"Yes well most of us have had disagreements with that twat," Serena saw the shocked faces on Ric and Jac's faces, "What?"
"I dread to think what he done to make you say that," Ric grinned.
"Tried to kiss me James had to hold Edward back…anyway I'm due in theatre and you two back to work."
"Good because I have a doughnut waiting for that's if Elliot hasn't scoffed it first," Jac joked, "Oh," she said looking shocked.
"Jac?" Ric asked concerned.
"It's fine she's just kicking again…great trust her to get Maconie's love for football," Jac walked out with the two elders she held her back.
"Back pain?" Serena asked.
"No just I haven't slept well," Jac lied but she was mad to lie in front of a woman who's been through this.
"You sound like me… Ms Naylor take yourself off rota and sit down," Serena ordered.
"No way," Jac snapped going into the lift, "If you think you're getting me on that bloody leave then piss off."
"Ms Naylor remember who you are talking too," Serena said with the same tone she gave Eleanor the other day.
"Oh yeah well piss me off then," Jac stepped onto Darwin Serena wasn't having any of it. She followed Jac into Darwin Ric followed.
"Ms Naylor apologize now," Serena ordered in the middle of the ward.
"Piss off Serena!" Jac shouted making everyone jump.
"What's going on?" Mo asked concerned.
"Nothing just her," Jac pointed to Serena, "Making me go on Maternity so piss off the LOT OF YOU!" She stormed into her office and slammed the door so hard that it shook everything.
"Woah," Ric said shocked, "I feel sorry for Nurse Maconie."
"It's like looking at me," Serena shook her head, "I adopted the word piss off and used it endlessly."
"So are you going to put her Maternity?" Ric asked.
"No…because I know what's good for me," Serena walked away feeling quite shocked, "I'll sentence her to desk work."
"And if that fails?" Ric asked.
"Then I'll make her stick with me," Serena and Ric made their way down to Keller Serena went into theatre and Ric went to do ward rounds.
…
Guilt had been pressuring Eleanor she had heard from her mum that Harry and Gemma had broke up and Eleanor felt very guilty convinced it was her fault. She took a final swig of the vodka and coke she had mixed and walked into the hospital.
"He just dumped me… I know we had our fight but he just dumped me," Gemma said to Sacha.
"Well you're worth more than him Gemma," Sacha rubbed her arm and bumped into the teenage girl behind him, "Oh hello are you looking for someone?"
Eleanor's long now dyed brown hair was tied up and when she saw Gemma she freaked, the drink and guilt was playing hell with her emotional state, "I need…I need to…I need too," she then began to cry.
"OK, OK calm down," Sacha said directing Eleanor to a seat by the nurses station, "What do you need to do?"
"I need to speak to my mum," Eleanor said through tears, "And," her eyes grew when Gemma walked nearer, "I need to speak to Dr Wilde…it's important."
"I heard my name," Gemma said walking over, "Is everything OK?"
Eleanor being in her drunken state stood up and before her brain could control her tongue it came out, "I'm sorry," she said to Gemma, "I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?" Gemma asked confused, "What's wrong?" she asked maternally.
"I…I…I'm sorry Dr Wilde," Eleanor said and she cried some more, "I'm sorry."
"Someone page Serena," Sacha ordered, "And get her some water."
"I'm sorry," Gemma pulled Eleanor into a hug, "I'm sorry."
"I don't know what you've done," Gemma said laughing slightly, "What have you done?"
"I'm sorry," she carried on saying continuously.
…
"OK that's one out of ten nine to go," Serena said to her theatre team, "Nice work Dr Tressler."
They were interrupted by Sacha by the glass he pressed the intercom, "Just thought you'd like to know we've got Eleanor here."
"Why?" Serena asked confused, Edward did too Harry on the other hand was freaking out.
"We don't know she just keeps saying sorry to Dr Wilde…she seems a little drunk and upset," Sacha explained, "She's asking for you."
"Right," Serena looked at Sacha, "Could you take over? Until Mr Griffin gets in?"
"Yeah sure," Sacha smiled.
…
"Here drink this," Gemma said to Eleanor calmly, "Now what do you have to be sorry about?"
"I can't explain," Eleanor looked a drunken mess and she was shivering, "Just when I do say…please, please, please don't hate me."
"OK," Gemma smiled uneasily then she straightened up once Serena entered.
"Right," Serena said to her daughter sternly, "What is this?"
"It's got something to do with me that's all I know," Gemma folded her arms.
"Don't go," Eleanor grabbed hold of Gemma's wrist, "Please…please."
"Mr Spence," Serena said to Michael, "Could I use your office?"
"Yeah go ahead," Michael knew better than to disagree especially now.
…
Eleanor sat on the sofa and held her head in her hands, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" Serena leant on Michael's desk, "For turning up drunk? Or for acting like a complete idiot?"
"First of all what have you done to say sorry to me for?" Gemma asked she sat down next to her, "I'm confused.
"Please…don't…hate…me," Eleanor was still shivering as she said to Gemma, "Please…please."
"Spit it out," Serena ordered angrily/
"I'm sorry," Eleanor said now to Serena, "That night…when Ava and I went out…we got separated but…I went back with someone."
"Oh good lord," Serena rubbed her forehead and looked down at the floor, "And what's this got to do with Dr Wilde?" she folded her arms and looked at Eleanor.
"I…I didn't know until the morning…I think my drink was spiked-"
"What?" Serena knew the truth would come out in the end but it took two days.
"I woke up…with….I woke up with…Dr Tressler," Eleanor then turned to Gemma, "Please don't hate me…I'm sorry…I was drunk really drunk I can't remember anything I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gemma felt the need to give Eleanor a hug and not hate her, "I'm sorry," Eleanor said through Gemma's tight hug, "I'm sorry…I'm the reason why you and him split up I'm sorry," she panicked fearing what could happen she opened the door and bolted.
"Eleanor come back," Serena and Gemma ran out, "Oh god the stupid, stupid girl."
"It's not her fault," Gemma said defensively, "Obviously Harry took advantage…I could kill him."
"Please don't make think that," Serena squeezed her eyes shut.
"Not to question your parenting skills…but shouldn't you be off finding her?" Gemma asked bravely, "I can help."
"You go left I'll take right…complete and utter nightmare," Serena and Gemma split up.
…
Eleanor had managed to make her way to Darwin it seemed the quietist place, "Can I help you?" Elliot asked kindly he then saw her crying, "Are you OK?"
"Ah Appendectomy girl," Mo said whilst holding her stethoscope with both hands around her neck, "Serena's daughter…if you're here to see your grandma she's asleep."
"Or it's more like she's drunk and trying to avoid mummy," Johnny said walking over.
"Please don't let my mum see me here," Eleanor begged the doctor and nurse, "Please…I'm already dead already," she stumbled a bit but Elliot grabbed her.
"I think you need to sleep this off," Mo suggested, "Elliot you're the most equipped to handle Jac…could you ask her nicely if Campbell Junior could kip in her office?" Mo asked.
"Right could you?" He took his grip off Eleanor and Mo put her hands on her the girl's shoulders. Elliot then stepped into dangerous land, "Jac?"
"What?" Jac asked grumpily, "Sorry," she saw the look on Elliot's face, "Is everything OK?"
"We've got Ms Campbell's daughter up here… in a bit of a state," Elliot began.
"And she's our problem how?" Jac asked sarcastically.
"Well she's very drunk and we think it's best to let her sleep it off before she faces Serena," Elliot explained he heard Jac sigh heavily, "Please."
"Fine go on then," Jac gave in and stood up, "She can use my blanket and pillow as long as she's quiet."
Mo knocked on the door, "Sorry Jac but," Mo walked in with Eleanor, "Could she?"
"Pillow," Jac threw the turquoise pillow on the sofa, "Blanket," she waited for Eleanor to lie down, "Well lie down then."
"I don't need to sleep I just need too," she then felt sick and vomited, "Oh I'm sorry."
Jac grumbled something about 'stupid teenagers' whilst she dug into her bag and pulled out spare pair of her scrubs, "Change into these," she chucked them to Eleanor, "And if you agree to sleep I will send Nurse Maconie with my cravings list and add something of your choice on it."
"Where shall I get changed?" Eleanor asked.
"Behind my desk on the floor," Jac answered, "Unless you want your mum to look up here and catch you?"
…
"Where the bloody hell is she?" Serena asked herself outside she sighed heavily, "Anything?" Serena asked Gemma as she ran out.
"No," Gemma placed her hands on her thighs, "I lost Finn here once…but I found him."
"Difference is your son's eight my daughter's eighteen," Serena reminded her employee, "Where haven't we checked?"
"Where's it you went when Edward went to find you?" Gemma asked Serena.
"Near Oncology," Serena revealed, "Now I've said that I'll have to find somewhere else."
"Let's check there," Gemma suggested then Edward walked round the corner, "Edward's coming."
"Quick," Serena did not want Edward to find out just yet the Consultant and Junior Doctor ran inside, "I feel like I'm in my twenties again."
"Yeah and I feel like I'm looking for Finn again."
…
"Right sleep it off," Jac ordered Eleanor who obeyed her immediately, "And if I find you up before you're sober…they'll be trouble."
"Why you being so nice?" Eleanor asked whilst laying down, "You're apparently the Ice Queen."
"Blame the hormones," Jac answered.
"Well as long as I can get a bacon butty when I wake up," Eleanor pulled the blanket over her and went to sleep.
…
Serena and Gemma had been searching for an hour.
"Darwin," Gemma grabbed her new boss's arm, "We haven't checked there."
"Of course my mum's up there and she'd try and make some sob story," Serena grabbed the Junior's hand and they went up to Darwin, "You didn't need to be so understanding with Ellie."
"She's eighteen Harry's twenty-eight I can't be mad at her," Gemma waited for Serena to let them in, "He should've known better."
"She should've been more careful," the two doctors walked in.
"Stand guard," Johnny said to Mo.
"Hello Ms Campbell," Mo said standing in front of Jac's office door, "How are you?"
"She's in there isn't she?" Serena asked the registrar, "Well?"
"Who?" Mo asked.
"My daughter," Serena answered impatiently, "Well?"
"Your daughter we didn't even know you had a daughter," Mo was a terrible liar right now she even made Johnny go red, "Isn't that right Johnny Mac," the two best friends looked at Serena and Gemma both had their hands on their hips with a facial expression that said: Do you think I was born yesterday?
"My son can lie better than you two," Gemma said still with her hands on her hips, "Really? Do you honestly think we were born yesterday?" she was only acting like this because she knew how it felt to have your child lost around the hospital.
"Oh alright," Mo gave in, "She turned up here in a right state we couldn't just send her back to you…so we said she could kip in Jac and Elliot's office."
"Sleep it off more like," Johnny said quietly.
"Yes I am aware of that Nurse Maconie," Serena said sternly to the nurse, "So how long ago did she get here?"
"About an hour," Mo saw Serena's facial expression turn to rage, "We thought you knew…I was sure Jac would've paged you."
"My daughter has been here for about an hour and you didn't feel the need to tell me?!" Serena shouted she had been frantic thinking worse case scenarios.
"She's been frantic," Gemma added, "Oh god."
"We were sure you knew," Mo defended herself and Johnny, "We assumed Jac would page you."
"If she had I would've been up here like a flash," Serena was relieved but angry at her employees, "She could've been anywhere she bolted because she was scared…so she could've been anywhere."
"But she's here," Mo couldn't understand why Serena was fretting so much, "OK she's fine."
"Well thank you it's good to know who I can count on to tell me things," Serena pushed past Mo and entered Jac's office.
"Oh what?" Jac asked she then looked up, "Oh you again…if it's an apology you want leave a message after the Jac Naylor doesn't want to helpline number comes up."
"Oh grow up," Serena scoffed, "Why didn't you page me?"
"Sorry?" Jac asked confused.
"Ms Effanga and Nurse Maconie assumed you would've paged me about Eleanor…so why didn't you?" Serena asked.
"Did they now?" Jac sat back, "I thought Mo would've done considering she's the one who bought her in here."
"Oh OK," Serena said awkawardly, "Well next time my daughter decides to turn up here I would like some notification."
"Fine," Jac sighed heavily, "Have you drank coffee today?" she looked nauseous.
"Yes why?" Serena asked then it clicked, "Well least you're not vomiting."
"Keep it down," Eleanor said then she remembered where she was, "Oh yeah."
"Ah back to sleep," Jac ordered much to the dislike of Serena, "Well you want her sober right? One hour is not going to cut it."
"We have an issue to discuss up you get," Serena ordered.
"One more hour," Eleanor asked.
"Haha no," Serena sighed heavily, "Up."
"Look just give her one more hour then she'll be liable to talk," Jac said.
"Are you trying to tell me what's best for my daughter?" Serena asked angrily.
"No."
"Good because how would you like it if I done that you?" Serena asked then it clicked to her she was arguing with herself, "Eleanor up you get."
"Oh fine," Eleanor stood up and yawned, "Thank you," she said to Jac.
"No problem," Jac put her feet up on her desk and smiled, "Well of you go mummy and daughter."
"Yes off we go," Serena shook her head and walked out.
"Wow you're alive," Johnny joked, "I'm surprised she didn't bite your head off."
"Jac Naylor knows better than to argue with me," Serena then walked out of Darwin she bumped into Michael.
"Heard you gave Ric the Executive CEO job Rena," Michael said cheekily, "Why not Naylor?"
"Long story," Serena answered, "Could you go and see if she's OK?"
"Why?" Michael asked sounding concerned he walked down the steps with Serena, Eleanor and Gemma, "Ah Septic Shock patient."
"Oh god Appendectomy girl and now Septic Shock Patient what's next?" Eleanor asked.
"Shag a colleague girl," Serena thought to herself, "Anyway Michael could you go see if Ms Naylor's OK."
"I'll bring Sacha with me extra protection" Michael joked, "Hey I called you Rena why's there no Yankee Doodle?"
"I thought you hated that?" Serena asked confused.
"Yeah but it's our banter don't tell me because you're now CEO…you're going to become boring?" Michael asked looking disappointed, "Great."
"Fine Yankee Doodle could you please go and check on Ms Naylor?" Serena asked Michael nicely.
"Of course…oh Satan told me to tell that Dr Tressler is looking for you," Michael made his way up to Darwin and then the three women tensed up, "Geez I know he's made some mistakes but don't hate him," Michael said from the top staircase.
…
Harry was pacing around AAU, "Harry what's wrong?" Edward asked walking by, "You look like lost tiger."
"Who's about to lose his job," Harry whispered leaving Edward confused Harry went to run when he saw the three women.
"Not so fast," Serena ordered Harry, "And you," Serena said to Eleanor was about run again, "Stay right there."
"Oh drama," Mary-Claire said to Sacha, "What's he done now?" Mary-Claire asked.
"Michael's office now," Serena said to Edward, "I think you need to hear this…and you two I think you'll be needed," she pointed to Ric and Sacha.
…
"Sit down," Serena ordered Harry who looking really sheepish, "Oh dear…I think we have a situation."
"Yeah we do," Harry said awkwardly, "I understand what I did was….completely out of order and wrong of me…but I didn't know who she was."
"Bullshit," Serena accidently let out.
"Wait what's happened?" Edward asked confused, "I have no idea what's happened."
"Ms Campbell it's true I didn't know," Harry defended himself, "When I woke up it was only I recognized she was your daughter."
"I'm sorry?" Edward asked his temper was flaring, "Did I hear straight."
"Isn't it wonderful?" Serena asked Edward sarcastically, "Our daughter shagged Dr Tressler…aren't you proud?"
Sacha ran over placed one arm around Edward's chest and Ric held back his arms, "Let me go," he said angrily to the two doctors, "Let me go now!"
"Not until I know you're not going to knock his head off," Sacha kept his grip but both men didn't realise how strong Edward, he broke free and punched Harry in the nose just like Sacha had done with Michael.
Harry composed himself and ran and hit Edward's left eye, "I didn't know who she was," Harry shouted blood was pouring out from his nose.
"She's eighteen you sicko," Edward shouted.
"You can't say much how old was you ex when you shagged her?" Harry asked but he realised he stepped a line, "Oh shit."
"STOP IT!" Eleanor shouted she got in the middle, "We both didn't recognize each other until the morning OK."
"I thought we were mates," Edward said to Harry still fuming, "I don't expect mates to sleep with my daughter."
"I didn't know who she was!" Harry shouted.
"IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE RIGHT!" Edward hit his hand on the table in frustration he made a pained face.
"The pair of you!" Serena stood up, "Grow up!" She ordered, "Dr Tressler consider yourself very lucky…unfortunately I cannot sack you due to it not being anything to do with work."
"You are kidding me?" Edward asked Serena, "He slept with our daughter."
"Yes I am aware of that," Serena stayed calm, "But if I did sack him it would be an unfair removal."
Edward laughed he was shocked how stupid could she be? "Our daughter slept with that," he pointed to Harry.
"I'd prefer it if you used the professional name thank you," Harry said to Edward he didn't look at him though.
"Look I'm sure you two can sort it out," Eleanor said, "It was a one night stand."
"Eleanor have you got yourself looked at?" Serena asked her daughter shook her head, "Right get yourself down to the clinic now."
"I'm fine," Eleanor went red.
"Go," Serena wanted her gone, "Eleanor go."
"Fine," Eleanor walked out but didn't go to the clinic instead she waited outside and slid down to the floor.
…
"Right let's talk about this like adults shall we?" Serena asked the two men who had attacked one another, "Look Dr Tressler like I said earlier consider yourself very lucky…I can't sack you over this because else it's under unfair grounds."
"Still doesn't make it right," Edward grumbled.
"However," Serena put her hand up, "I suggest we put you up on Darwin for a while…just until the dust has settled."
"So basically you're banning me from AAU?" Harry asked.
"Like I said consider yourself very lucky," Serena glared at Harry, "If my daughter has any repercussions over this whether it be an STI or pregnancy I hold you responsible."
"Of course Ms Campbell…I really am sorry," Harry said he looked down, "When do I start on Darwin?"
"Tomorrow…finish your shift here," Serena answered, "And Dr Tressler I only want to see you if it's an emergency any other time I don't want to see your face."
"Of course Ms Campbell…thank you," Harry avoided all the stares he understood why Sacha and Ric were glaring at him because they had daughter's too so of course they would hate him. As he walked out he heard sobbing, "Well so much for let's keep it between us."
"Uh Harry I'd get away from her you might not recognize her again," Gemma said glaring at him, "Come on Eleanor…you might actually want to get yourself checked out this man is full of lies and danger."
"I don't need to be checked over," Eleanor stood up, "I'm fine."
"Do it for your mum?" Gemma pushed the young girl, "It's for your own safety."
"Can you…can you come with me?" Eleanor asked Gemma.
"Course," she held out her hand Eleanor took it, "Come on."
…
"Are you OK Serena?" Ric asked.
"Yes fine…thank you for trying to hold him back," Serena pointed to Edward who was holding his face in his hands, "You two can go now."
"OK," both doctors said at the same time and they left, "Didn't recognize her my arse," Sacha said angrily, "You've only got to look at her and you see Edward."
…
Serena looked around Michael's office for a first aid box, "A-ha," she found a bunch of dry ice packs in his draw, "Here," she broke the tube inside the pack and placed it against his eye, "Oh dear," she leant her forehead on his head, "I knew something was wrong that night…and I just thought it was me being paranoid."
"No," Edward took her hand, "I thought it was you being paranoid…I chose to ignore your womb warnings."
Serena pulled away, "I'm sorry I can't sack him… it's not under professional grounds," Serena kissed the top of his head, "How's your eye?"
"Hurts," Edward answered, "But I'll be fine…oh god why did I ignore you that night?" he felt so guilty, "What kind of dad am I? Harry was right I can't say much."
"It's just the shock talking," Serena comforted him, "OK you're a good dad…sometimes you've got it wrong but it doesn't mean you're a bad dad, the amount of times I've got it wrong with Eleanor."
"I'm sorry," Edward's emotions were all over the place he was injured and feeling wounded, he was in shock from being hit and then his daughter's issue with Harry was too much he began to cry.
"Oh don't crying," Serena begged, "Why you crying?" she walked around him and knelt down in front, "If anyone who should be crying it's Ellie."
"I've made a mess of everything Serena," Edward looked down and tears fell from his face, "I ruined your life, I ruined Ellie's I've messed up everything I don't understand how you can forgive me because I've been so awful," she felt the ice pack being taken away he then felt her warm hands cupping his face, "I don't understand how you can forgive me."
"Because," she looked up at him their eyes connecting, "Because no matter how much I should hate you…trust me I've told that many times but I can't."
"Because?" he asked curious.
"Because my dad always told me to never think about Auld Lang Syne," Serena saw the confusion in his eyes, "Times long past."
"And?"
"Well what you did was a long time ago…and it still hurts Edward," she took his hands in hers, "But if we can tak a cup of kindness every New Year I guess I could make my cup of kindness early."
"Is that you saying in your own way of trying to say you actually forgive me?" he asked laughing, "You really do beat around the bush with these things."
"I'm not completely there yet…but I'm getting there," she pressed her lips against his she felt his connect with hers, "Now," she pulled away, "Not to be funny but this is Michael's office… not a good place."
"Yeah don't want another repeat of James yet they know but would still be awkward," Edward and Serena laughed together, "I shouldn't have hit him."
"Oh you had every right you never heard me say that," Serena walked to the door with him, "Because it would be seen as me favouring you."
"Well course I'm amazing," Edward joked, "Of course you'll favour me."
"Don't push your luck," Serena opened the door, "Keep this," she handed him the instant ice pack, "On that," she pointed to his eye, "Looks like Ellie's gone to the clinic but just to be sure."
"You just go it'll be a bit embarrassing with me there too," Edward ignored Harry and went over to talk to Ric and Sacha, "Don't," he saw them trying not to laugh.
"Nice job on doing a me," Sacha joked, "I hit Michael not long ago."
"Yeah well he slept with my daughter," Edward leant against the desk, "He deserved it…"
"It's like I said you've only got to look at her she's the spit of you," Sacha repeated his words from earlier, "It's not hard."
…
Well second day on the job and she had already seen drama at its best: Ms Naylor telling her to piss off, her daughter turning up drunk and feeling guilty, learning her daughter had slept with her employee who she wasn't able to sack because of it, searching around the hospital for about an hour and then witnessed Edward turn violent in a way she had never seen before than declared her near forgiveness she was beginning to think something about this hospital was cursed. A curse she was about to try and lift which meant changes and some new employees.
OK guys this is where you get some control of who she hires ;) out of these character profiles I've wrote haha you get to chose who she employs and also could you give me your reasons as well that would be great employee with the most positive views gets hired. Don't worry I'm not firing anyone ;).
Character Profiles for new employees:
Name: Amelia Jones
Age: 38
Nationality: British and Welsh
Occupation: Consultant GS at St George's
Talents/Skills: Talents include being able to draw, sing, write, do maths in a flash Skills include: Get a ward running like clockwork, perform operations and complete a list in a day, can speak fluent Welsh which comes in handy when she needs to have a rant about someone and doesn't want them to hear in English, being nice to patients, able to connect well children, gets on well with colleagues and knows how to have a laugh.
Amelia came to St George's in nineteen-ninety-five where she was put with mentor Serena Campbell unfortunately for her she joined when Serena was pregnant and easily agitated, though she sometimes annoyed her mentor they both connected when they realised they had connections both had Celtic blood in them, both could speak a different language Amelia spoke Welsh, Serena's father forced her to learn Scottish Gaelic which they used to their advantage, Amelia's mum was a midwife so she had been given tips on how to handle her mentor and when she sucked up to her by bringing in sweets and chocolate to their mentor to mentee meetings they became very close even to the point where they had early morning yoga sessions and by the end of the mentoring she needed James had told she had been Serenaized and that it had it's advantages and disadvantages; since being "Serenaized" Amelia became very robotic and used the get them in and get them out routine all through her years at St George's, St George's being a huge hospital meant there's room to be robotic and run on coffee, sugar and energy drinks all the time.
Amelia's achievements include:
Delivering a baby with James whilst being in a lift with a woman in labour
Performed two very highly skilled operations without the need of another surgeon to be there
Won the Junior Doctor Award
Went to America for two years to study Emergency Medicine and brought back her skills to St George's and was highly praised
Became the Consultant after being recommended by Serena
Stood up to John Harrowman when he began to become big headed and very controlling
Amelia's relationships with colleagues include: James Vincent who is her best friend and like a brother to her, George the kind hearted anaesthetist who was there for her when she was stressing about things and didn't want to bother anyone, John Harrowman once they got on but after becoming a power freak she lost respect for him and for years herself, James and George, Serena and Edward when they were around have tried to get him to stand down but with little effect.
Amelia is the type of woman who will only let you in once she knows she can trust you; she's very careful with who she befriends and doesn't allow herself to be walked all over on, strong, with a icy exterior which could put Jac Naylor to the test and a foul temper if crossed on a bad day Amelia is the type of woman you'd hire but only if you have a backbone. She may cause some rifts in the hospital if Serena was to hire her.

James's achievements include:
Delivered a baby with Amelia whilst being stuck in a lift and the baby was named after him
Led his first operation before being made a Consultant
Travelled to America to learn about Primary Defence which like Mr Griffin tried to convince Serena to give it a try but unlike Ric he failed to convince her

James came to St George's in nineteen-eighty-three when he was only twenty-eight bless he very quickly connected with everyone and briefly had a friendship with Sacha Leevy but like many others Sacha left when John Harrowman took over which was nineteen-eighty-nine then in nineteen-nineteen-ninety he was ruffled when new Consultant Serena Campbell joined as she was very powerful but when Edward joined he found a best friend and along with George the three men drove both John and Serena crazy, James stands for what he believes in and believes that patients know best which caused havoc when John's conveyer belt ward and surgery came into play so for years he joined the G.J.F (Get John Fired) Campaign, Serena agreed with the conveyer belt ward and surgery rules but didn't like his views on how patients were minions and they must do as they said, so along with everyone else she signed up for G.J.F. he 's one of the minor originals left at St George's and is slowly beginning to think it's time to leave as much as it would pain him.
James's relationships include best friends with Edward, Serena, George and Amelia he would do anything for them jump under a bus, take a bullet or a stab wound for them, his wife sadly died not that long ago so broken hearted James is needing friends more than ever.
James is a big friendly teddy bear who would do anything for anyone forgive his worst enemy if it meant he could protect and survive the harsh corners of this world. His daughter Ava is his life and with the recent death of Jenna weighing on his shoulders will he be able to stay at SG's for much longer?
