CHAPTER TWELVE

#####################################################################################

Charlie got into his car and speeded out of the hospital car park, he knew where Zoe was, at nick and her daughter's grave, all Charlie had to do now was find out where exactly that is.

Charlie went around several cemeteries in holby hoping to see zoe, what Charlie was really hoping was that nick and his daughter weren't buried in Milligan as he knew zoe would be the type of person who would head straight to the airport and travel thousands of miles just to see a glimpse of her loved ones grave.

The last cemetery Charlie visited was the closest one to the hospital, you could see if from Keller so Charlie knew that would be the most likely place for nick to be buried, surgery was nicks life and Charlie was pretty sure that nick had seen the cemetery many times.

Charlie smiled when he saw Zoe sitting with her head in her hands, on a bench beside a grave he guessed was nicks and her daughters. Charlie wasn't happy to see Zoe crying, but he was just happy to see her.

"Zoe" said Charlie as he walked along the stone path way to where Zoe was sitting

Zoe tried to dry her eyes before Charlie sat down, but it was too late Charlie had seen right threw her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" said Charlie "or anyone for the matter?"

"Nobody knew I was even in contact with nick never mind married to him with a child" said Zoe "how could I tell everyone that as well as telling them he's dead as well as my baby girl"

Charlie hugged Zoe tightly like he had previously that morning.

"Is this them?" said Charlie pointing to the grave in front of them

"Yea" said Zoe

Charlie smiled as the graves had pictures on them, one of nick and Zoe on their wedding day and another of a tiny baby girl who Charlie already knew had been a perfect mix of Zoe and nick.

"They were my life" said zoe to Charlie "and I lost them both in four days"

"You shouldn't have had to deal with this on your own" said Charlie

"And max, the look on his face when he found out" said Zoe crying into Charlie's chest

"I know about you two" said Charlie in all the awkwardness

"What?" said zoe looking up at Charlie

"I know that you two have been...well you know" said Charlie

"No I don't know" said Zoe playing the innocent

"Don't act as if you don't know what I mean" said Charlie "I can read you like a book"

"It was only once" lied Zoe

"Yea, and I'm George Clooney" commented Charlie

Zoe sighed as she clung to Charlie and giggled at his joke
