"You look beautiful" Zoe smiled in amazement as Maisie descended the stairs. She had chosen to wear a pale blue skater dress and her long brown hair was perfectly curled.

As she walked down the stairs she held her new pair of heels in her hands "I don't think I can wear these mum" She said, slightly disappointed as she had always wanted a pair of her own.

"That's OK" Zoe smiled to reassure her "It takes a lot of practice" She chuckled, as Maisie had chosen to wear a pair of flat ballet shoes instead.

Maisie smiled "I don't think I'm ready to grow up yet anyway"

"Well I am glad to hear that" Nick called from the kitchen, before entering the hall himself, "Wow" He said in surprise as he noticed how beautiful his daughter looked.

"What's up?" Maisie asked at her dad's shocked expression.

"You look so beautiful darling" Nick beamed, extremely proud of the beautiful young girl she had turned into.

"Thanks dad" Maisie smiled "Can we go now?" She eagerly asked, dying to find out what her next birthday surprise was.

When Oliver and Phoebe were also ready they all got into the car and Nick finally drove them to the surprise destination.

"What's going on?" Maisie asked, looking around through every window in the car as they pulled up onto a car park. The venue they had arrived at was a large hall but it looked so quiet and deserted as though nobody was around.

Nick glanced through his rear view mirror as he could see Maisie moving around in excitement "Go ahead and see" He said, knowing she couldn't contain it any longer.

Maisie wasted no time and jumped straight out of the car running to the entrance. She noticed that on the door was a number of pink birthday balloons, she grinned excitedly as she realised it must be for her. She opened the large door and as she walked inside a whole group of familiar faces of all her friends and people she considered family stood shouting 'happy birthday' at her. She screamed in excitement, instantly holding her over her mouth in shock as she noticed everyone, along with the beautiful decorations all around the setting.

Nick came up behind her and wrapped his arm around her "Do you like it?" He asked. But from the expression on her face the answer was clearly yes.

"It's amazing, thank you so much" She said, turning around and wrapping her arms around him tightly into her hug.

Nick tapped her slightly on the back as he wrapped his arms back around her "You more than deserve it" He said before kissing the top of her head before releasing his grip.

Maisie ran over to all of her friends and greeted them all, all screaming and jumping around as the music began to play.

"You've done good Mr Jordan" Zoe smiled, placing a kiss on his lips as she walked past him to greet everybody else. The whole of the ED staff were also there to celebrate Maisie's birthday as they were extremely close to her seeing as they had known her for her entire life. They were all practically family anyway.

"Can I have a drink dad?" Phoebe asked immediately as they arrived, tugging at the sleeve on Nick's jacket to grab his attention.

Nick chuckled "yes of course" He said, before she quickly ran off again and found somebody to play with.

He walked over and joined Zoe and the rest of the ED who were still stood chatting in the middle of the floor.

"Hi everyone" He smiled, greeting his staff as they all shouted 'Hello's' at him, "I just want to announce that there is a free bar tonight" He said, much to all of their delight as there were many cheers filling the room.

"Do you want me to get you a drink Zo?" He asked, as he protectively placed his arm around her waist.

Zoe turned her head to look at him, "I'll have a large glass of wine" She said with a serious look on her face.

Nick glared at her in shock, eyes wide open, "I'm joking Nick" She chuckled at the expression on his face "I suppose I will have to have an orange juice"

Nick chuckled "Good girl" He said, tapping her hip before releasing his grip and walking over to the bar to get the drinks in.

"At least you won't have the hangover tomorrow eh doc" Jay nudged her, making light humor.

"Well I wouldn't mind the hangover right now if it meant I got alcohol Jay" She chuckled.

"I'm going to get Mr J drunk" Jay announced, laughing at the thought of his boss being drunk.

"Please do" Zoe chuckled, as they all glanced over and looked at Nick at the bar.

"I'll get the shots in then" Linda suggested, pulling Jay with her as she went.
