"What color cast would you like Pheeb?" Zoe asked her as the nurse began wrapping it up in plaster. Her X-ray had infact shown that she had broken her wrist in two places.

"Pink" Phoebe instantly replied, which Zoe expected as her favorite color was Pink, she was a typical girly girl.

It didn't take long for the nurse to fit Phoebe's cast and she was given some more painkillers and left to rest.

"Hey how you feeling?" Nick asked as he entered the room. He handed a much needed cup of coffee over to Zoe and pulled a chair up next to her.

"I'm OK" Phoebe replied "look at my cool pink cast daddy" She beamed, pointing to her broken arm.

"Oh wow, pink" Nick smiled. He was glad that she was now starting to look a bit more brighter and happier, "I might have to buy you a present for being such a brave girl" He said.

Phoebe excitedly sat up, feeling brighter at her dad's suggestion "really?" She beamed.

"Yeah what would you like?" He asked, knowing that it would cheer her up. Zoe just looked at him smiling, he always spoilt them, sometimes too much she thought.

"A pony" Phoebe suggested, looking at Nick with puppy dog eyes to try and persuade him.

Nick and Zoe both chuckled, "I think a pony might be a bit too adventurous" He told her.

"what about a toy pony?" Phoebe asked, trying to compromise with him.

Nick chuckled, "I'll see what I can do" He smiled.

"Why don't you give my mum a ring to pick Ollie and Maisie up from school?" Zoe suggested, knowing that they would be finishing soon and one of them would have to leave.

"Yeah I'll give her a try" Nick nodded, standing up from his chair and heading towards the door.

"I'm stopping here with Phoebe tonight" He told Zoe before leaving.

"Are you sure?" Zoe asked.

"I'm not having you sleeping in a chair in your condition"

Zoe rolled her eyes, typical Nick she thought, "Yes boss" She joked, "Is that alright with you Phoebe?"

"Yeah" Phoebe widely smiled.

"Good girl" Nick smiled, before leaving the room to call Zoe's mum so that she could pick up Ollie and Maisie from school and take care of them both for an hour or so, so that Zoe could stay at the hospital with Phoebe that little bit longer.

"Mum I'm really tired, can I go to sleep?" Phoebe asked as her eyes already began to close and Zoe could see how exhausted she was looking.

"Of course you can" She told her, "Do you want a cuddle?" She asked, knowing that the answer would be yes as she always loved her mum or dad staying with her until she fall asleep.

Phoebe nodded so Zoe took off her coat and shoes and climbed onto the bed, positioning herself so that Phoebe could wrap her unbroken arm around her and comfortably fall asleep.

As Nick returned back to the hospital, both Phoebe and Zoe were fast asleep on the bed and as he entered he smiled to himself seeing how comfortable and peaceful they both looked. He didn't want to disturb them so he decided to go out and buy Phoebe's gift.

"Have you been sitting here long?" Zoe asked as she slowly began to awake, turning over slowly to see Nick sat beside the bed.

"No" Nick shook his head, "went to buy Phoebe this" He said holding up the toy pony which he had brought her.

Zoe smiled, he was such an amazing dad. "you're going to be in her good books then" She chuckled.

"I'm always in her good books"

"mummy" Phoebe began to mumble as she slowly awoke from her sleep, trying to find the security of Zoe's arms.

"It's alright sweetheart I'm here" Zoe reassured her, running her hand through her hair, "Look what dad's brought for you" She pointed out.

"Oh wow, a pony" Phoebe excitedly beamed, reaching to take the toy off Nick, "thanks dad"

"Right i best get back to Ollie and Maisie" Zoe said as she started to get up. She didn't want to leave Phoebe but she knew she had to be with Maisie and Oliver, and she'd be in good hands with Nick.

"Bye sweetheart" Zoe said kissing Phoebe goodbye "I'll see you tomorrow" She reassured her.

"Love you mum" Phoebe said wrapping her arms around her neck.

"Love you too" Zoe smiled, prizing herself away from her daughters arms.

"see you later darling" Nick said kissing Zoe.

"Bye Nick" Zoe said as she kissed her husband goodbye for the night. They hadn't spent a night apart since their 8 years of marriage and sleeping without one and other was going to be strange for the both of them.

"Bye mummy" Phoebe called one last time, waving to her mum as she left the room.
