A couple of weeks had passed since the scan and we still hadn't seen or heard from Caleb. I was finally starting to show, my tiny little bump was starting to become visible. So far we'd managed to hide the bump from everyone. We wanted to tell people but I'd insisted that we told Caleb first. We owed him that much. No matter how many times Ethan or I tried to call, there was no answer.

Connie had finally announced that we would soon be getting a new Doctor. I couldn't wait to work with Kirstie.

"Look what I found." Ethan grinned as he passed me a book.

"You're not supposed to read at the dinner table." I teased him.

"It's a book of baby names." he said, rolling his eyes.

"Uh oh." I grinned.

"What names do you like?" I asked him.

"I have no idea." he admitted.

"I only had boys names in my head." he chuckled.

"What ones?" I asked.

"I like Richard and George." he told me.

"They are old fashioned names." I said, wrinkling my nose.

"Well it's kinda irrelevant anyway given we're having a girl." he laughed.
"How about we tweak it a bit?" I suggested.

"Huh?" he frowned.

"Georgina or Georgia." I said.

"I like Georgia, it's a bit different." he smiled.

"Georgia it is then." I smiled back.

"That was easy, I thought it would take us a while to agree." he chuckled.
I smiled slightly.

"We should go, otherwise we'll be late for our nightshift." I sighed.

As I entered the ED, I gasped as a noticed Kirstie standing at reception. I hadn't realised that I would be working with her.

"I guess we're on cubicles together then." I smiled.

"Yeah sorry, I meant to text you to say that I was starting today." she said.

"Don't worry about it." I told her.

I glanced up as Robyn walked past me silently.

"Hey Robyn." I called.

I sighed as she ignored me and carried on walking.

"I seem to have annoyed a lot of people." I sighed as my thoughts wandered to Caleb.

"They'll get over it." she reassured me.
"Did you bring Kai to England with you?" I asked.

"Yeah I did." she smiled.

"You'll have to bring him round for dinner sometime." I suggested.

"Sounds good." she grinned.

"We'll start with Andrea Dawson." she said as we walked towards the cubicles.

"She was admitted a few minutes ago, she has been losing weight, trembling and has muscle weakness in her arms. For some reason her GP sent her here." she stated, rolling her eyes.

I smiled at Andrea as we entered the cubicle, it struck me how beautiful she was.

"Can we take some bloods please, and run a standard profile and thyroid bloods." she told me.

"Sure." I smiled.

"Let me know once the results are ready and I'll sort out a treatment plan." she said.

"Okay." I smiled as I went to fetch a needle and syringe.
