In my arms

Chapter 1

~Bernie's POV~

"Right people, low on staff, so I'll be expecting you to be on fire. D'you get me?" I say as everybody nodded. Serena and Raf were off so that meant that it was just Morven, Flecher and me. But we could do it, we've done it in the past. As I grabbed a patients notes, Flech tapped me on the shoulder "Um Bern... I think we aren't alone today...", "Oh?" I turned round to find a women and Mr Valentine talking, looking around like they were lost, then Mr Hanssen walks in, I looked at Flech with big eyes "Oh, I've got a feeling that it's going to be one of those days", Flech laughed like a girl and then went to see a patient. I walked over and Mr Hanssen greated me and told me that Mr Valentine requested to come work on AAU during Mrs Cambell's absence and an old friend of mine wanted to help as she is back from the army and was looking for a job, "Mrs Dawson" I lifted my head up to Mr Hanssen like lightning, "Hello again Mrs Wolfe", I gave her a fake smile and Hanssen continued as I kept looking at Alex.
"So is that alright Mrs Wolfe?", I looked up and said "I'm sorry, can you repeat please?", "Mrs Dawson is on trial so I would much appreciate if for the first couple of day you could show her the ropes and if Dr Digby could guide Mr Valentine seen as he already know the hospital", "Um... Yes, yes sure..." I looked back Mr Valentine that smiled and Alex who smiled even more than Mr Valentine. "Right then, I'll leave you to get to work, I can see your busy, I won't keep you any longer." He has a little look round of AAU and then left. I called Morven and told her that she was in charge of showing the ropes to Mr Valentine, "Mr Hanssen's orders", she nodded and indicated to Mr Valentine to follower her. As they went off, I observed them for a couple of seconds, dreading what was about to come. I didn't even need to turn round and she was already on my shoulder "So where we starting?", "What are you doing here Alex?" I said as I turned round to face her this time with no smile... "Well Hanssen told you, I'm back from the army. For good now.", I wasn't convinced "Why, what happened? You loved the army", "Someone left... And I realised I couldn't live without them..." Alex said as she lowered her head. "Sorry" I looked at her at she must of felt my eyes on her because she lifted her head and looked into my eyes, I woke up from my little daydream and told her to follow me. So she did and I introduced her to her first patient, Mr Lincas. I gave her his notes and left her to it, I gave Lincas a little smile before I went to check on another patient.
