Right I'm planning ahead a bit here for future chapters, but I'm going to do a little poll on which gender the baby should be, so please review or message me to say whether you would like them to have a baby boy or girl and the one with the most wins :)


"Nick are you ready?" Zoe asked as she entered Nick's office at the end of their shifts "we're going to be so late" She said checking her watch one more time.

"What for?" Nick asked, as he began to put all of his paper work away.

"Maisie's award ceremony at school" Zoe told him. She had mentioned this to him everyday for the last week but he had still somehow managed to forget.

"Oh shit" Nick exclaimed "Is that tonight?"

"Yes now come on" Zoe said, trying to hurry him up seeing as though they were already 5 minutes late.

Nick quickly grabbed his coat off the back of the door and put it on as he followed Zoe out of the hospital.

They were 15 minutes late when they arrived at the school but luckily for them the ceremony hadn't quite yet started. The school hall was packed however and they struggled to find a seat, so they had to sit close to the back, but they could still see the children sitting on the stage and Maisie had already spotted her parents walk in... typically the last ones but at least they were here.

"Look who's sitting over there" Nick pointed out Chris who was sitting a few rows in front of them as they both took their seats in time for the main lights to dip.

"Oh god, there's no getting rid of him if he's got a kid here as well" Zoe chuckled.

Nick laughed "We'll sneak out before he even see's us"

The ceremony had been going on for a quite a while now and Zoe could see that Nick was going to be asleep any minute soon, she gave him a slight nudge to wake him up as the year 7 awards were being called, "And the award for the student in Year 7 who has outstanding performance and has shown massive improvement and dedication over the term in all aspects is awarded to Maisie Jordan" Mrs Roberts announced as Maisie stood up and began to make her way across the stage, followed by a huge round of applause from the audience.

"I knew she would get it" Nick beamed as he proudly watched her collect the award. Maisie always doubted herself and was convinced that she wouldn't win an award.

After Maisie's award there weren't many more to be given out so the time quickly passed by. As soon as the ceremony had finished Maisie came excitedly running over to her mum and dad.

"Well done sweetheart" Zoe proudly smiled as Maisie showed them her certificate.

"Thanks mum" Maisie smiled.

"Come here" Nick gestured pulling her into a big hug "I'm so proud of you" He said as he hugged her tightly.

"I can't breathe" Maisie complained, laughing as her dad began to let go of her.

"Mr and Mrs Jordan" Mrs Roberts called as she came over to join them.

"Hello" Nick and Zoe both smiled.

"How's Maisie getting on?" Nick quickly asked, wanting to check her progress since finding out about her dyslexia.

"She's doing great, which I think is highlighted through her award this evening, I think that the support is really helping Maisie in all areas" She reassured them "are you getting on with it OK Maisie?" Mrs Roberts directed her question at Maisie.

"Yeah it's so much easier now" Maisie smiled.

"That's brilliant, we will help you as much as we can" She reassured them all. She had done everything she could to ensure that Maisie was now getting all the support that she needed and Nick and Zoe were so grateful for it.

"Thank you so much for all your support we can't thank you enough" Zoe thanked her once again.

Mrs Roberts smiled "It's my pleasure" She said "I'll see you soon" She said before leaving them.

"Bye Miss Roberts" Maisie shouted as she walked away.

"Shall we go and pick your brother and sister up then?" Zoe suggested and both Nick and Maisie nodded as they began to leave the building.

"You can choose where we're going to eat Mais" Nick said.

"Cool" Maisie grinned"I think we should have pizza" She suggested.

Nick chuckled "I knew you would say that"

They then went straight to pick up Oliver and Phoebe and all headed out for a celebratory meal for Maisie's hard work.
