Connie looked at fletch and set the notes back on Tess's bed.
"How did you know"?" said Connie
Fletch looked down as he knew that he could lie but he also knew that in his current mood it wouldn't be very believable.
"No" said Connie shaking her head "its wasn't yours"
"It's not exactly the highlight of my life" said fletch "well it was, but I am married"
"She was, is your boss" said Connie which made some nurses around the room look at the argument between Connie and fletch
"I know" said fletch shaking his head
"Dam right you know" said Connie turning back and looking at Tess
Tess was a friend of Connie's and even though she didn't want to be near her since she became clinical lead.
"I would fire you" said Connie looking at Tess lying in her hospital bed, helpless "but I know that you really care about her"
"I do" said fletch who for once was grateful that Connie hadn't fired him on the spot
"Don't break her heart" said Connie walking to the side of Tess's bed
"Fat chance of that" said fletch "she doesn't love me, it was, to her, a mistake"
"I think you're mistaken" said Connie smiling at Tess
"What do you mean" said fletch "she told me straight that she didn't feel the same"
"Let me guess, after the abortion?" said Connie flicking though the rest of tess's notes
"Yes" said fletch "I guess it was around that time"
"Guilt" said Connie "you are married and she had just got rid of your child"
"Well she knows that I would leave Natalie for her in a flash" said fletch
"Well there we go then" said Connie "remind her"
"Thanks" mouthed fletch to Connie as Robyn entered the room
Robyn handed Connie Tess's results and Connie smiled and turned to fletch.
"Looks like she is going to be ok" said Connie "she will be awake any moment"
Fletch smiled and Robyn and Connie decided to leave him alone with Tess.
Meanwhile in cubicals Charlie was doing a number of tests on Zoe which all came back clear so he stitched Zoe cut above her eye up.
"Thanks" said Zoe
"No problem" said Charlie "I am just glad you are ok, let's just hope Tess is as lucky"
"Yes" said Zoe "I have to go and see her"
Zoe slide off the bed and was about to go until Charlie stopped her.
"Is there anything else?" said Charlie raising his eyebrows at Zoe
"I would ask Tess to do this as I need a doctor or a nurse and I am closest to Tess, but for obvious reasons I can't and you are probably the person I am closest to after her" said zoe "could you do something for me?"
"Sure" said Charlie "what is it?"
Back in reception max was staring into the nurse's station and to the cubical Zoe was with Charlie in, he was worried as she and Charlie had been in there for nearly an hour and he had been told to stay outside.
Louise tapped max on the shoulder which immediately clicked him out of his thoughts.
"Charlie said that you wanted him to look after this" said Louise handing max a letter
Max smiled when he looked down and saw that it was the letter Zoe had left him.
"Thanks" said max as Louise walked away
Now was time for max to open the letter that zoe wanted him to see, something that she couldn't face telling him face to face but he had to bear in mind that zoe didn't know of his love for her before she wrote it.
Max opened the letter and closed his eyes, when he opened them again he got the surprise of his life, suddenly a warm feeling came over him and a smile became apparent on his face, in that moment his life had suddenly become complete, what the envelope contained was something that showed max and zoe's love for each other.
Max smiled when he noticed zoe come out of the cubical with Charlie, zoe smiled at Charlie and thanked him for his help then she saw max who smiled waving the content of the envelope at zoe who immediately smiled and laughed slightly as she slowly walked towards max.
She had been worried about telling max at first, she didn't know if he loved her back or not, but she knew that it wasn't exactly his fault as she hadn't made her feels clear either.
Max ran over to Zoe and hugged her tight, kissing her in front of the ED not caring who saw or stopped to watch the Clinical lead and the porter who were clearly in love with each other.
"You have made me so happy" said max
"I'm glad" said Zoe smiling
Max smiled and hugged zoe tighter as he thought about the contents of the envelope once more, it was simple it just contained at picture that he would cherish forever, zoe's 12 week scan.
