After collecting their keys from Guy's office, Jac and Jonny entered the brand new locker room on Darwin and opened their completely empty lockers.

"I give it a week until my locker is filled with crap again." Jonny smirked as he picked up a pair of clean, sea green scrubs from the rack.

"That long?" Jac quipped as she placed her bag down on the bench and selected a pair of dark blue scrubs. "Please let me have a full theatre list." She exclaimed as the pair began to change into their work clothes.

"Please let me have a full theatre list of being your theatre nurse." Jonny grinned. "Oh um, I'll go back to mine after my shift and start packing some of my stuff." He stated. "I won't do all of it until the weekend but I need a few bits for the week."

"Yeah, I'll look online and order you a wardrobe. Unlike the average person, I am not willing to clear out half of my wardrobe for you." Jac stated bluntly.

"Aw, you're such a sweetheart sometimes." Jonny said sarcastically.

"Ah, you're both here early." Elliot smiled as he entered the room. "Have you had a look around?" He asked eagerly.

"Not yet no, we've only just got here but we will do in a minute." Jonny replied as he stood in his scrubs whilst Jac had just stepped behind a row of lockers whilst she was changing into her scrub shirt.

"How was Scotland?" He asked curiously.

"Colder than I thought it'd be." Jac replied as she appeared and placed her folded up shirt in her locker.

"We've now got a fridge in our office by the way." Elliot stated. "And on top of that is a biscuit barrel for us consultants."

"Fine by me, it's always Jac who nicks the good biscuits." Jonny said sarcastically.

"Oh um, I printed out your lists for you." He added as he handed each of them a bit of paper. "We've now got a capacity of 5 in HDU, and 28 patients out on the ward. Plus we now have two theatres instead of one."

"Are you kidding me?" Jac grinned. "We've got two theatres on Darwin now?"

"Yes. I wasn't expecting it either. But, from now on we should have much less of a problem with beating target numbers. In fact, we could probably exceed targets with the increased capacity." He stated. "Of course we will have to sacrifice by sharing theatre nurse Maconie because we both know he's better than Sarah and Sue combined." Elliot said cheekily.

"Oh, trust me if you're fighting over me, I'm going to her. No question." Jonny stated. "Especially since we're living together now." He announced and Jac rolled her eyes whilst Elliot smiled proudly.

"Oh, congratulations." He chuckled.

"Okay, shall we make a start?" Jac began before she squeezed past Elliot at the door and exited the room as swiftly as she could.

"Look after her." Elliot said sincerely. "She's like a daughter and she means a lot to me."

"I will Elliot, she means lot to me too." Jonny patted the professor on the arm before they too left to get on with the day's work.


"Nice to have you all back." Ric smiled as the three junior doctors, Sacha and Colette walked on to the brand new Keller in their brand new scrubs.

"Nice to be back." Sacha stated. "This place looks great."

"It's a lot more efficient too." Ric nodded. "Now then, Dr March you are with me in theatre in ten minutes, Sacha, Mr Radley in bed four is complaining of lower abdominal pain, headache and nausea. Dr Digby I need you to change an appendectomy dressing in bed seven and Dr Copeland I need you to catch up on the case in bed two and perform the next lot of obs." He explained. "Oh and Nurse Sheward, I believe we're a nurse down today so you're expertise would be greatly appreciated on the ward."

"Good to be back." Zosia sighed sarcastically as she turned on her heel to go and prepare for theatre.

"Whoever treats the least obscure condition cooks dinner tonight right?" Dom whispered.

"Agreed." Zosia and Arthur nodded before they split off to do their individual jobs.


After paging the woman he loved, Jonny nervously waited in the linen cupboard and had begun pacing when Jac entered and she silently closed the door behind her.

"I wasn't sure if you'd have the energy." Jonny began. "But, I thought we just have to try this new linen cupboard out and make sure it's suitable for our needs." He grinned.

"May I remind you we're due in theatre in twenty minutes." Jac pointed out.

"Exactly, we've got plenty of time." Jonny smirked and before he knew it, they were passionately kissing as towels and bed sheets – whatever they could find to soften their landing – were being thrown on the floor. "I love you." He panted before they both resided to the floor for an illicit rendezvous in the linen cupboard to make love.


"Hey, some of your washing was mixed in with mine." Dom said softly as he came into Zosia's room where only a dim lamp was on and she was sitting in the middle of her double bed with photos scattered around her. "What're you up to?" He asked as he placed her clean washing on the end of her bed before he went and sat next to her.

"Just putting the photos into this album." Zosia stated as she showed him the front of the custom made album which had a scenic picture of Loch Ness on it and it was entitled: 'Team Holby'.

"Ah, that's why there's no ink left in the printer." He concluded as he flicked through the first few pages that she had filled in. "Despite the fact that climbing that mountain nearly killed me, I actually enjoyed most of the trip." Dom admitted.

"Me too." Zosia nodded. "Minus the high ropes course, and the travel sickness on the way there of course but… yeah, I liked it."

"I'm sure your mother would be really proud of you Zosh." Dom smiled as he picked up the selfie containing the pair of them, Arthur, Colette and Guy that had been taken at the top of Ben Nevis. "You faced your fears with the heights, you were really brave and you made up with your father."

"Thanks." Zosia smiled as she leant her head on his shoulder.

"Oh um, I meant to say. A leaflet for that Italian takeaway round the corner that we've ordered from before came through the letter box just now. Do you fancy something from there?"

"You're just trying to get out of cooking dinner, aren't you?"

"Of course." Dom grinned.

"Yeah alright. I'll have the king prawn linguini thing that I had last time." Zosia stated.

"You want a bottle of wine or anything?"

"No, I'll give it a miss tonight."

"Alright, I'll go and order now."

"Dom?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks for cheering me up."

"I didn't do anything." He replied confusedly.

"What you said about my mum, I needed to hear that." Zosia stated.

"No problem. I'll give you a shout when the food is here." Dom smiled before he left and quietly closed the door behind him.


"I reckon we should make a rota regarding the cleaning, cooking, ironing etc." Jonny suggested as he and Jac sat at the breakfast bar facing each other whilst they ate their dinner of fresh, stuffed pasta and a tomato sauce.

"Like you'd actually stick to a rota." Jac retorted.

"No, honestly I would." Jonny protested eagerly. "If I make a fair rota, will you agree to stick to it?" He asked curiously.

"Only if there's emphasis on the word 'fair'." Jac replied.

"Yeah, I'll make it fair." Jonny confirmed. "I'll do that later. But aside from that, how did you find the new linen cupboard?" He smirked.

"Satisfactory."

"Only satisfactory?" Jonny protested.

"Yeah, there was a cold draft coming in under the door."

"It's alright, we'll get a draft excluder for next time." Jonny smirked.

"Who said there's going to be a next time?"

"Me. Because with you, there is always a next time."

"Well as long as there's not a 'next time' for Guy's stupid team building holiday, I'll be happy."

"Agreed." Jonny nodded as he lifted up his wine glass, chinked it with Jac's and then they enjoyed the rest of the evening together.


The End!

Thanks for reading and please leave me a final review if you could :)

I'm currently writing 'Double Trouble' which is a Jac and Jonny story but writing seems to be taking forever recently!
