**Swear word**

Maggie's POV:

April, Monique and Doris walk over to her and hug her. "Congratulations" April says with a big smile. Doris hugs her and squels a little. The rest of the doctors congratulate them heartedly, and go back to work, when Will walks over to them. He congratulates them quickly, acting a little held back. As he walks away, seemingly with haste, to go back to work, I catch him "hey Will, you ok?" I ask. "uh- yeah, yeah I'm fine, it's nothing" he says, but I give him an intriguing look, he sighs and looks around "I don't know, I- don't get me wrong, I'm really happy for them, I just- God, I don't know." He sighs. 

"Yeah, I get it, this was what you always dreamed of to happen with you and her isn't it?" I ask, as I put my hand on his shoulder in pity. He nods slightly, clenching his jaw in frustration, "I'll talk to you later Mags, I gotta go" he says quickly before walking away. I feel sorry for him, seeing how much this actually pains him to see, and especially accept, it.

Crockett's POV:

People all around us are coming up to us, hugging us, shaking hands, congratulating us. It's quite overwhelming, luckily I have a little excuse I can use, even though it actually is not an excuse, just a fact. I turn to Natalie "Hey, I gotta go, I have a patient I need to check up on" I say quickly, before finding my way out of this crowd. I feel a little bad leaving Natalie behind, as it were, but I know that she can handle herself perfectly. I walk to the elevator and see Will standing in front of it, waiting for it to arrive.

I press the button for going upwards, and step backwards. I get pulled out of my thoughts by Will saying "I already pressed it, the light is already on, doesn't go any faster if you press it twice" in an annoyed tone. I turn around a little startled by his tone, and if I'm not mistaken, I can see some tears in his eyes, which he tries to wipe a way quickly. I mutter something, but can't make anything out, as I'm a little shocked, because Will is such a nice guy. I realise that this is about Natalie, and even though he seemed so supportive, I think that this was a little too much for him. The elevator doors open and we both step into it.

Once we're in the elevator, alone, I step forward to press the number of the floor I want to go to, but Will again stops me. "I'm standing right in front of the panel, couldn't you just have said the number, instead of trying to steal everything?" he says angrily. I yet again am not sure how to react this, "I just thought maybe you were in your thoughts, or you wanted to go to a different floor?" I say carefully. "You do know that we have the exact same patient, and he asked us to meet us both around this time?" he asks looking at me with one lifted eyebrow. "I think you and I both know that this is not anymore about some elevator button right?" I ask with in bit more stern voice. He sighs annoyed and rolls his eyes "sure". I want to talk to him about this, but it seems that in this anger flash, there is no reasoning with him, so I ignore it.

Natalie's POV:

Once what seems like the entire staff of the hospital has congratulated me, people clear out and I see Maggie standing at a counter looking at me, giggling. I walk over to her "what is it?" I ask, as I raise my eyebrows. "Nothing" she says as if she's hiding something, "Maggie, what is it?" I ask once again. "I'm just so happy for you guys, you both look so happy, and everybody is so supportive, it's what I've been hoping for for you" she says with a bright smile. I chuckle "thanks, it's what I'd hoped too, and thank you for forcing me to do this, feels really good" I say. "Oh honey, come here" Maggie says, as she pulls me in for a tight hug. 

"So, any patients?" I ask, as I sigh, already tired of the day. "Yeah, sadly enough, got a toddler with his mothers' keys stuck up his nose" she says "treatment 1" she says chuckling while handing me the tablet. I sigh deeply again, roll my eyes, and take it. On my way to the treatment room, everything all of a sudden goes dark. Shit. Power outage.
