Tess didnt know what to do so ran up to nick hoping that fletch wouldnt notice her

"tess I dont mean to alarm you but fletch is coming this way" said louise who was slightly worried

Tess just stood there with her elbows leaning on the reception desk and her head in her hand, nick just looked at her

"tess are you alright" said nick

"no I am not" said tess

"he is getting closer" said louise

"right tess you run and I will distract" said nick

Tess looked at nick questions were running through her head, how did he know?, "did he know that it was fletch?, why was he helping her?, was he going to tell anyone? Tess pushed these questions to the back of her mind and quickly walked off to her office where charlie was, she rushed in, locked the door and turned the light off.

"what are you doing" said charlie while tess was closing the blinds

"hiding" said tess

"why" said charlie

"cause he was out there and walking up to me and nick saved me" said tess

"by him you mean your fiance" said charlie smiling

"no he is not my bloody fiance" said tess angry

Charlie was about to speak when he heard 2 voices that he reconised, nick and fletches.

"I will go and see if tess is ok" said fletch

"oh she is ok" said nick "but she is not in her office"

"well I will try anyway" said fletch

"NO, em tess is em treating a paitence in cubicals" said nick

"ok" said fletch "what cubical"

"I have no idea" said nick

Fletch walked away and charlie turned to tess

"oh my god, its fletch" said charlie

Tess sighed and put her hands on her head

"if you tell anyone your dead" said tess

tess unlocked the door for nick to get in

"thanks" she said

"you know you cant avoid him forever" said nick

"I will try" said tess lying back

"well if u avoid him its only putting it off and who knows where he will propose after that" said nick

"In public" said charlie laughing

"not funny" said tess

"it would be funny" said charlie

"wait how did you know that he was going to propose" said tess to nick

"the same way that you found out" said nick "through the tape"

Meanwhile in resus zoe was asleep and max was beside her, max smiled and tucked some of her hair behind her ear then he took his hand and placed it in hers, zoe woke slightly and saw her and maxes hands togeather but then fell asleep again, max had been there for nearly 3 hours zoe also didn't see nick, she was so angry and hoped he had gone back to where ever he had come from as it was awkward him seeing her so weak cause they had always been strong, they had loved each other but never cried and hardly ever showed any emotion. Zoe suddenly awoke from her day dream with a sharp pain in her side, connie noticed that she was awake and walked over to her.

"Zoe your awake" said connie "I have to say that I have never seen a woman go through as much pain as you have in order to have a child"

Connie looked down and smiled when she saw max and zoes hands togeather.
