I'm sorry I haven't uploaded anything for a while but my A-Levels are driving me to the point of insanity! In this story, Jac and Jonny don't have Emma and Zosia is not Bipolar. (Also, my writing might be a little bit rusty so sorry if this is complete and utter rubbish!). I've been speaking to my friend JacNaylor2014 and she received some PMs and reviews about getting someone to carry on her story called 'Team Holby'. But, it was published quite a while ago so she's allowed me to write a new story, which is a similar plot in general, but will have different ideas in, and I'll start it from the beginning. Hope you like it and it's up to your standards JacNaylor2014 ;)

Wednesday 1st October 2014

"This is ridiculous. I'm due in theatre in twenty minutes." Jac complained as she, amongst eight of her colleagues waited in the small corridor outside of the CEO's office after they had all been summoned for a 'brief meeting'.

"Elliot can cover for you until you get back." Jonny replied calmly as he leant against the wall. No one was entirely sure one the status of the pair's relationship but Jonny was one hundred percent that they had a strong physical one. Ever since the auburn haired consultant had been diagnosed with endometriosis earlier in the year, he had been there for her for support and he was sure they were slowly getting closer to each other.

"That's not the point." She replied and her protestations caused Jonny, Mo, Adele and Sacha to exchange a bemused smile at her impatience.

"So, what've you done to upset Daddy now?" Dom asked mockingly as he also waited in the corridor. It seemed the majority of the skeleton staff from Keller and Darwin were there but no one knew what the purpose of the meeting was going to be.

"As far as I'm aware, I have nothing to do with it." Zosia huffed as she leant against the wall with her arms folded across her chest and her head hung between her shoulders. Dom looked at her sympathetically because he knew that she was still upset after her partner, Jesse Law, had left the previous week and despite all his efforts to cheer her up, nothing had worked. "I know someone who thinks everything is my fault though." She half quipped, half sighed.

"Zosia, Jesse isn't worth getting upset about." Arthur stated exasperatedly.

"Try telling Guy that." Colette scoffed which caused the junior doctors to frown at her in confusion. "Jesse came clean to your Dad last week about you two being together just before he left and in response, your Dad punched Jesse in the face." She explained.

"But–" Zosia tried to demand why she hadn't been told that earlier but the wooden door opened to reveal Guy Self standing with a smug smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in you come please. This won't take long." He announced and so everyone made their way into the office and formed a small crowd in front of his desk. "Right, as you all know, Darwin and Keller are being refurbished next month and I previously told you that you would all be working on different wards for a fortnight until they are finished. However, I have now come up with an alternative solution which I think will be the best option for the hospital. All ten of us are going to go on a team building holiday for two weeks." He smiled. "That wasn't quite the reaction I was expecting." He concluded as he saw most people in the room looked sceptical whilst both his daughter and Jac Naylor looked just as disgusted as each other.

"Where?" Colette asked curiously.

"Ooh, somewhere tropical?" Adele asked happily at the prospect of a well-earned holiday.

"Not quite, no. Somewhere a bit closer to home but still out of the country." Guy replied.

"Oh no." Jac groaned.

"Scotland?" Jonny grinned.

"Indeed Nurse Maconie, Scotland." Guy confirmed. "Given the recent departure of a staff member," he began as he glanced at Zosia, "and from what I've gathered in general, there isn't a brilliant team atmosphere between – and on – Keller and Darwin. And from my vast experience of working in competitive hospitals, I know that when there is a better atmosphere, patients experience better care and complain far less. So, we're all going to Scotland on a bit of a holiday for two weeks." Guy stated. "Now, I'm not completely unreasonable so if anyone wishes to opt out of this holiday there is another option: you must work on maternity for the fortnight because that ward is forever understaffed. Is there anyone here who would prefer that…? No, didn't think so." Guy concluded. "Well then, I shall email you all further details but for now you can go."

There was quiet chatter and gossiping as the group left the room but Guy appeared stumped when he realised Colette remained in the room.

"Colette, how can I help you?" He asked confusedly.

"Is this just because Jesse left?" She asked.

"No, of course not. Look, I need a strong team if I want to run a hospital of excellence." Guy stated. "Jesse is not going to be a part of that; he was a loose cannon and this hospital is far better off without him."

"Y'know Zosia is heartbroken Guy. I know you're angry with her for seeing him behind your back but she needs you. She won't admit it but she really does."

"Colette, I hardly think that you're someone who can give me parenting advice given the fact that you haven't got kids yourself." Guy protested.

"What? So you think Zosia's fine, do you?" Colette argued.

"What's for dinner? I'm starving." Dom exclaimed as the three junior doctors arrived in their flat as they returned home after a long day at work.

"How can someone just disappear off of the face of the Earth?" Zosia asked sadly. "I've checked his flat, I've tried ringing him, texting him, emailing him…"

"Zosia, I know this isn't what you want to hear but I think it's obvious that Jesse is ignoring you and doesn't want anything more to do with you." Arthur stated insensitively. "Just forget about him and move on." He added but Zosia simply dumped her bag on the sofa, walked through to her bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

"Well done Diggers." Dom said sarcastically as he picked up the landline phone.

"What're you doing?" Arthur asked confusedly.

"She's upset." Dom stated but he could tell from the look on his flatmate's face that he was still bewildered and required further explanation. "She needs a takeaway, a bottle of red wine and chocolate. But not necessarily in that order." He quipped as he dialled the number for the local Chinese takeaway.

"Guy's emailed us about that stupid holiday." Jac informed the Scotsman as she sat on the sofa in the open plan living room whilst he stood just a few meters away from her in the kitchen preparing their dinner in her flat.

"Yeah? What did he say?" Jonny asked happily; he was certainly far more excited and enthusiastic about the trip compared to her.

"He reckons we're spending nine or ten hours in a minibus and he's going to drive us all the way to Inverness." She scoffed.

"Well how else are we gonna get up there?" Jonny laughed.

"By train." Jac replied in a tone that it was an obvious solution.

"How're you gonna get the train from Holby to Inverness?" Jonny protested.

"One train to London and then the sleeper train straight to Inverness." Jac stated. "I am not going in a minibus."

"I suppose you'll need someone to keep you company, won't you?" He smiled as he put a dish in the preheated oven.

"Mm. I'll pay for your ticket if you promise that you won't take a kilt with you." She quipped.

"Deal." Jonny nodded. "Now, we've got about half an hour until dinner is done. So…" Jonny grinned as he took her iPad off of her, placed it on the table and then he simultaneously sat down and pressed his lips against hers.

"Do you ever thing about anything else?" Jac whispered as they pulled apart yet they kept their faces so close that their foreheads' were almost touching as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Well, I doubt we're going to have the required privacy in Scotland with eight of our colleagues being there." He quipped before he gently pushed her backwards so that she was lying on her back and he hovered above her. "Plus, I never hear you complaining afterwards." He quipped. "One sexual fireworks show coming up." He whispered seductively before they made love to each other.

Guy sat in his study on his laptop as he tried to finalise the last few details of the trip to Scotland that he was organising. He had booked various activities, though he didn't plan to tell anyone about them until they were actually in Scotland. An old friend of Guy's, who was also one of the hospital's funders, was providing the money for the trip because unlike many of the sponsors, he understood how it felt to work day in day out and he appreciated the strain the NHS workers were under.

Yet, as Guy sat with the world at his fingertips, he couldn't help but think about what Colette had said to him; he couldn't deny that Zosia wasn't of sound mind after Jesse's departure. And that's why he was determined to use the trip to get closer to his daughter again. Not only would they not have the worry of work to interfere but they would also have no option but to be near each other rather than stay on different floors of the hospital. As much as the thought of Zosia being manipulated – and that's how he saw it because she was far younger and more vulnerable than she made out – by Jesse angered him, he knew that the majority of hi wrath was aimed at the anaesthetist and not his little girl.

Finally, as it approached midnight, Guy had finished organising the trip so he closed his laptop and headed to bed. He just had to hope that the holiday would build new alliances and make existing ones stronger rather than create any further problems…
