Zoe stood absolutely still, frozen to the spot as nick was wheeled away, Tess came over and got her and a tear rolled down Zoe's cheek, how had nick been holding that in all this time?
"Zoe let's sit down" said Tess
Zoe didn't answer Tess she just sat down, died her eyes and stared at the wall, 1 hour later she walked into the girls and toilets and Tess followed knowing that she was probably crying, but she wasn't she was just staring in the mirror.
"Zoe" said Tess
"Yep" said Zoe turning around from the mirror and showing a fake smile
"What's up" said Tess walking over and standing beside Zoe
"What do you mean, what's up" said Zoe "nick is having an operation"
"Yes you should be worried" said Tess "not have something completely different on your mind"
"It's not completely different" said Zoe so quickly that she instantly regretted saying it
"Zoe what is it" said Tess "it can't be that bad"
"Believe me it is" said Zoe spinning around and looking in the mirror once more "he told me that he loves me"
"What, nick" said Tess shocked
"Yes, always has and always will apparently" said Zoe "and that's not the worst part"
"How can that not be the worst part" said Tess looking at Zoe who was still looking in the mirror
"At the same time I told him I was pregnant" said Zoe now putting her head in her hands
"Congratulations" said Tess smiling
Zoe smiled and hugged Tess, at least that was one good thing that had happened, Tess suddenly pulled back from the hug and looked at Zoe.
"It's not nicks, is it" said Tess
"No" said zoe "I am not like that anymore"
"Sorry" said Tess
"It's ok, I don't blame you" said Zoe "I went from lodes of men back to nick"
"Well when did you tell max and how did he take it" said Tess
"I haven't told him, yet" said Zoe "I am just waiting till this whole operation thing is over"
"Ok but tell him soon" said Tess "I won't tell a soul"
"Thanks" said Zoe
"And one other thing" said Tess before walking out of the bathroom "you never did tell me how far along you were"
"1-2 weeks" replied Zoe
"We will both be off on maternity leave at the same time" said Tess
"Mother and toddler days" said Zoe laughing
"Yea" said Tess "but I don't know whether I am looking forward to doing the school run or not"
"That's not for a long time yet" said Zoe
"I know but that will make me even older" said Tess walking out
Zoe smiled and looked in the mirror putting some make up on then going out to join the others, when zoe got out she saw a doctor talking to Tess, fletch, max and Charlie, nick had only been in theatre just over an hour and a quarter, zoe walked over to the dr.
"Are you Zoe Hanna" said the doctor
"Yes, why" said Zoe
"I am very sorry" said the doctor "there was a major bleed and we weren't able to save him"
Thanks for all the reviews, keep reviewing
I know that this may be an unpopular choice to kill off nick but it is necessary for the rest of the story as I have it all planned outJ
