Zoe and Connie left the cubical and went to reception
"How can Tess be pregnant" said noel to Louise
"Well let me explain" said Louise "when a man loves a woman..."
"No I mean isn't she too old" said noel
"No she is not too old" said Connie "look at zoe"
"Oi" said Zoe
"Well you and Tess are going to have babies around the same time" said Connie
"Very unlikely" said Zoe
"Think positive" said Louise
Zoe smiled and headed back to her office where max was waiting, she walked in locked the door and kissed max who had obvious been waiting there for a while.
"I hear that Tess is expecting" said max
"Does everyone know" said Zoe
"Well yea" said max "you about quite loudly"
Zoe smiled and kissed max but they separated when they heard someone come in, it was Tess
"Zoe I wouldn't ask but..." said Tess
"Go home" said Zoe
"Thanks" said Tess
Tess left and Zoe turned around to max
"That could be you soon" said max
"It could be" said Zoe "but it might not be soon"
"We will have a baby" said max "I will do whatever it takes"
"Really" said Zoe
"Really" said max
Zoe smiled and kissed max when there was a knock on the door
"You never get a minutes peace in this place" said Zoe "come in"
"Charlie" said Zoe
"Yes I was wondering if I could have a chat, in private" said Charlie
Max smiled at Zoe and left, Charlie sat down in front of Zoe
"It's Tess" said Charlie
"Oh" said Zoe
"Well do you think she is happy" said Charlie
"Well she is happier with fletch" said Zoe
Charlie smiled and stood up
"What about the whole baby thing" said Charlie?
Zoe just shrugged her shoulders
"I don't know, it's complicated" said Zoe
Charlie smiled and left and Zoe got her phone out
"Meet you outside in 10" texted Zoe to max
Max never replied he just met Zoe outside and pulled her into a hug
"What was that for?" said Zoe
"Being strong" said max
Zoe smiled and kissed max
Meanwhile fletch was looking for Tess when he met Charlie
"Have you seen Tess?" said fletch
"She went home" said Charlie "just promise me one thing"
"Ok" said fletch
"Please look after her" said Charlie
"Don't worry I will" said fletch "I love her"
Fletch and Charlie went their separate ways, fletch walked to the staffroom and Charlie went to reception
"What was all that about" said noel
"Nothing" said Charlie
Charlie turned around and realized that Sam, Tess son was standing there
"I have come to see my mum" said Sam
"She went home, sick" said Charlie
"I knew that there was something wrong" said Sam
"What do you mean" said Charlie
"well last night she wouldn't eat, this morning she wouldn't answer my calls and last time I saw her I didn't want to leave her" said Sam "as she looked to be in pain, she was sick and all the colour had drained from her face"
"The joys of pregnancy" said Louise
Sam's eyes widened
"Oh well done" said noel to Louise sarcastically
Sam took his phone out of his pocket and dialed his mums number before calmly walking out of the ED
"Tess is going to kill you" said Charlie
"The whole hospital knows so it would have been very unlikely that he could have come here and not found out" said Louise
Charlie just raised his eyebrows and walked away
Meanwhile max walked into Zoe's office where Zoe was taking her fertility tablets.
"God, they taste like crap" said Zoe
Max just laughed and slipped him hands around Zoe's waist
"It will all be worth it at the end" said max
"Yea" said Zoe smiling
1 MONTH LATER
Zoe got up from her warm bed and ran to the bathroom where she was sick
"Zoe" said max
"I am fine" said Zoe
"You are not, this is the 3 rd. day in a row" said max
