Nick looked at Zoe who looked back at him, nick knew that if he didn't tell Zoe and he went ahead with the operation then he could die and she would never know but nick also knew that if he told Zoe and he survived the operation she would probably never speak to him again or would she?

"Sorry but we need a quick decision" said the Dr "but we can gave you 5 minutes if you want"

"No" said nick "I will have the operation"

A smile spread across Zoe's face as she knew that this operation was nicks only chance and that he could be giving up 2 days for nothing or he could be giving up 2 days for a lifetime.

"Great" said the Dr "we will give you 10 minutes alone and then we will bring you into theatre"

Nick smiled but didn't know how to tell Zoe

"Zoe em…" said nick

Zoe just hugged nick

"After this I am bringing you back to England" said Zoe

"Zoe I might not even survive" said nick

"Nick your strong" said Zoe holding nicks hands "you will make it"

Nick sighed and lay back wondering was this his last minutes on earth, and then he looked back at Zoe who was looking rather pale

"What's wrong" said nick

"I just feel a bit sick" said Zoe

"We should get you checked out" said nick

"No honestly in fine" said zoe "it's just nerves"

"What have you to be nervous about" said nick

"You, everything" said Zoe "do you want me to tell the others"

"Yes" said nick

"Do you want them to see you" said Zoe

"No" said nick

"Why not" said Zoe

"Because I don't want them to remember seeing me for the last time in a hospital gown" said nick

"But this won't be the last time they see you" said Zoe

"Nobody can be sure of that" said nick "just tell them and then come back in"

Zoe half smiled and headed out to see fletch, Tess, max and Charlie

"What's going on" said Tess

"There is an operation available" said Zoe

"That's great" said Charlie smiling

"Nicks having it" said Zoe

"So what are you looking so down about" said max smiling

"He has a fifty fifty chance" said Zoe

Charlie, fletch, Tess and max's faces just dropped

"What" said fletch

"You heard me" said Zoe

"Can we see him" said Charlie

"He doesn't want you to see him" said Zoe walking back in

Fletch, Tess, Charlie and max sat down because they knew that nick would never have wanted them to see him dressed in a hospital gown.

The doctors and nurses came into the room and were about to put nick to sleep when he stopped them.

"Zoe I need to tell you something I have ben trying to tell you for ages" said nick

"Me too" whispered zoe to nick "nobody knows this and I have only just found out myself, but I'm pregnant 1-2 weeks"

"What" said nick

"Now go, what did you want to tell me" said Zoe to nick

By this stage fletch, Tess, Charlie and max had decided not to listen to nick or Zoe and were standing watching Zoe say her goodbyes.

"Zoe I love you, always have and always will" whispered nick to Zoe

Zoe didn't have time to reply as the mask was placed over nicks face and he went to sleep.
