Zara gradually got better. She still wasnt completely better, but she was well enough to go to work. Daniel was making a huge fuss of Zara going back, checking she had her painkillers and that her phone was charged incase she got stuck. Zara rolled her eyes but knew Daniel meant well. Eventually, after queuing in traffic, they arrived at the Mill. Daniel and Zara were both welcomed back, as obviously they had both been off. They gave eachother a quick kiss goodbye, and retreated to their offices.
Zara had had one hell of a morning. She'd seen lots of patients, and she'd been in pain. She felt better now, but that might've been because it was lunchtime. Zara walked slowly down the corridor, into Daniels office. Daniel was in there finishing some paperwork. He saw Zara, who immediatly went over and sat on his lap. "Hello gorgeous," Daniel said, smiling. Zara giggled and put her arms around Daniel. they enjoyed a hug. "How you feeling?" Daniel asked. "I was in pain earlier, but now im fine," Zara said. "Must be something to do with seeing me, your in pain when im not with you and your fine when i am," Daniel said, leaning in to kiss Zara. Zara started laughing.
Daniel and Zara were in the staffroom, sharing lunch with eachother. They couldnt seem to keep away from each other. Julia walked past, and noticed them sitting close together. "Wow, since when has The Mill turned into a love shack?" She said, rolling her eyes and walking off. Zara and Daniel looked at her, then kissed. Julia then turned to corner, only to find Jimmi and Cherry making out in reception, behind the shelves. "Good Grief." She said, walking off.
Daniel was seeing a patient. The patient was talking about his wife, who had had her eggs frozen, and now he wanted to concieve with them. Daniel gave the patient lots of information. The patient left the room, and Daniel thought about Zara.
Meanwhile, Zara was seeing a patient with a baby. The mother was talking about how fantastic it was having a baby, although there were sleepless nights and nappies, she loved it. Zara just smiled and nodded, almost wishing she had what this woman had. They said goodbye and the woman and her baby left. Zara had no patients for the next hour, and she knew daniel didnt either. She went along to Daniels office. They sat opposite each other again, discussing patients. Daniel mentioned his patient, and Zara mentioned hers. "That could be us one day," Daniel said. Zara was smiling already. "Just look at the genes, Zara," "Well, with my good looks and your... average looks, perfect baby," Zara said, smiling. Daniel lightly slapped her on the arm. "Average? Daniel Granger, average? We BOTH have good looks Zara." Daniel replied. "If you say so," Zara said, smirking. "Anyway, shall we erm... head home?" Daniel asked, smiling. "Fine by me," Zara said. So Zara and Daniel walked through the mill, hand in hand. Karen was behind the desk and just smiled at the happy couple.

Zara and Daniel were sitting up in bed together, Discussing babies - again. "We could try, Zara, if you really wanted to," Daniel said. "We could Daniel, it would take months and months." Zara replied. "Is it worth it?" Daniel asked. "Definatly." Zara said, "We'd both have to have loads of injections, but hopefully luck will be on our side, and we could have a baby," "What if it doesnt work though?" Daniel asked quietly. "Then we try again, if we're both prepared to." Zara replied. "Do you really want a baby Daniel, or are you just trying to make me happy?" "Zara, my heart nearly broke when i found out about the menopause. I wanted to stay with you because i loved you, but i have always dreamed about us having a baby together." Daniel replied, giving Zara a kiss. "Okay. Well, i stopped injecting myself with testosterone last week, when we first started discussing babies. We'll have to wait until its out of my system, but then we can both start our hormone injections." Zara said, "Ill get in touch with the people with my eggs and let them know," "Zara," Daniel said. "Daniel?" Zara said, smiling, "I Love You," Daniel said. Zaras smile got bigger. "Good, because I Love You too," Zara said, putting her arms around Daniel and giving him a hug. Daniel gave Zara a massive hug, "You would make an amazing mum, Zara, really, you would," He said. Zara smiled. "I hope so Daniel, i hope so,"
Daniel and Zara were very excited. It was a saturday, and they spent the whole day in bed together, just cuddling and talking. They were reading up on the next few months. "Low Caffeine, Miss Carmichael, a bit difficult for you!" Daniel said, nudging Zara. "Oi, No Alcohol, a bit difficult for you, Dr Granger," Zara said, smiling. "I can manage." Daniel said, "I can manage my alcohol, unlike you and your caffeine!" "Well, ill limit myself on the caffeine, i want to do everything right, Daniel," Zara said. "So do i. So no alcohol and we can share a cup of coffee a day." Daniel said. Zara smiled. She was overly happy, and just prayed that it worked.

Zara had been off testosterone for about a month. She had beeN told she could start the iNjections iN about 2 weeks. Zara was very happy, and so was Daniel. They had decided to go private for the ivf treatment, they didnt want to have to wait for however many millions of months. Zara had been told that stress would affect her, so she had to try and keep her stress levels down - without caffeine. Zara wasnt too happy about this, but just thought of family life instead. "Zara, maybe we could get someone else take a few of your patients, so you dont get too stressed?" Daniel suggested. "Ill be fine." Zara said, "I dont wannt the whole of the mill and campus knowinng yet, they might catch oN about the menopause," " Would that be such a bad thing? their our friends Zara, theyd understand," Daniel said. "Ill thinnk about it," Zara said. Daniel put his arms around Zara annd gave her a hug. Zara buried her head in Daniels chest.
Daniel and Zara pulled up at the Mill. Lunch had finished and it was time to see patients. Zara was exhausted by the end of the day. She even fell asleep in her office at the end of surgery. Daniel found her sleeping iN her office, annd woke her up gently. They weNt to the car ( they had brought Zara's car today) aNd Zara reluctantly let him drive home.Zara made them some dinner, annd then changed into her pajamas. She was so tired and she couldnt understannd why. It was probably the lack of sleep. She curled up in bed, leaving Daniel to wash up downstairs. Zara heard a bit of crashing downstairs. She was woNdering if the kitcheN would still be iN 1 peice after DaNiel had set foot in it. She dismissed her thoughts and lay awake in bed, waiting for Daniel to come up and kiss her goodnight. Eventually he did. Infact, he got into bed with her, Cuddling up to Zara, expectinng hugs in return. Zara turned around and snuggled up to Daniel. Daniel smiled, wrapping his arms around her. He looked dowN at Zara, who was already asleep. He kissed her head annd tightened his grip arounnd her. "I love you Zara" Daniel whispered

Daniel and Zara had started their injections, and everything was suddenly so real. Daniel hated injections, he always had. But he was doing this for him + Zara, so it was worth it, he thought. Zara was used to injections so she just got on with it without complaining. Noone at the mill knew about this, so Zara had to try hard not to get too stressed. Daniel was constantly checking on her. Zara insisted she was fine, infact she was overly happy.
Zara was standing by the shelves in reception. Mrs Tembe was on reception, hardly noticing Zara. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Zara felt 2 arms go round her waist. This made Zara jump, and she screamed. Mrs Tembe turned around, and saw Daniel with his arms round a terrified Zara. Zara turned around, glaring at Daniel. Daniel burst out laughing and smiled at Zara. Zara smiled back and they shared a hug. Mrs Tembe wondered over to them. "Great, what does she want," Zara thought. "This is a doctors surgery, not a bedroom," Mrs Tembe said, Zara and Daniel ignored her. "Did you hear me?" Mrs Tembe said. Zara turned around and glared at mrs tembe. "Mrs Tembe, with all due respect, we're just having a hug behind some shelves, your the only one that can see us, its not like we're having sex on the desk or something," Zara said. Daniel tried hard not to laugh, so Zara decided to kiss him, stopping his laughter. "Good Grief," Mrs Tembe said, walking off. Zara and Daniel broke apart and burst out laughing, grabbed eachothers hands and went into Zaras office.
"I love winding up that miserable, irritating old woman," Zara said, smiling. "Her facial expression was epic, Zara," Daniel said. Zara just fell into fits of laughter again.
Mrs Tembe walked into Julia's office. "Mrs Parsons, i think we should consider a place for certain members of staff to go sometimes," She said. Julia looked confused, "Would you care to elaborate Mrs Tembe, i dont really understand what you mean," "Well wherever i turn here there are always 2 people kissing or hugging, it could be deemed unproffesional." Mrs Tembe said, " I found the blonde couple in a consulting room today, and the brown-haired couple kissing in reception, behind a shelf," "Jimmi and Cherry and Daniel and Zara?" Julia asked. "Yes. We need a love room." Mrs Tembe said. "Well to be honest we cant open another room for 2 couples, and also if none of the patients can see then it shouldnt be a problem. Their in love." Julia said. "Fair enough." Mrs Tembe said, walking out the office. Julia was amazed at Mrs Tembes suggestion.
It was the end of the day, and Julia was standing by reception with Mrs Tembe. They were waiting for Jimmi and Cherry and Daniel and Zara to come out. Jimmi and Cherry came out first, laughing and kissing. Mrs Tembe sighed in disgust. Julia found it quite sweet. Jimmi and Cherry said their goodbyes and left. "This surgery has been reduced to a love shack!" Mrs Tembe said. "Oh lighten up Mrs Tembe, their in love. Its not a crime." Julia said. Zara and Daniel came out, holding hands. They smirked as they saw Mrs Tembe, and were so tempted to wind her up further. They stood by the doors and started having a cuddle. Mrs Tembe rolled her eyes. "Should you not save that for the bedroom?" Mrs Tembe said. Julia glared at Mrs Tembe, along with Daniel and Zara. Zara and Daniel kissed and walked off, hand in hand. Just another day at the mill...

there was still a few months to get through before the IVF would happen. Daniel and Zara just kept on with their injections. Daniel had discreetly mentioned the IVF to Julia. She understood, and deliberatly made sure Zara had less patients.
Daniel and Zara were walking across the park. It was a Saturday and they were enjoying a lazy day together. They were holding hands as usual. Daniel and Zara stopped walking at one point for a quick kiss, prompting some wolfwhistles from some teenagers standing nearby. Zara laughed and they walked on.
Zara and Daniel walked to tesco together. They considered getting some of their weekly shop but Zara reminded Daniel that they were walking.back, and it would be too heavy for them both. They bought some lunch and walked back to the park, sitting by the river together. They had actually bought more of a picnic then just lunch. They sat by the river with doughnuts, sandwiches, drinks, crisps, and apples. Daniel and Zara kept putting crisps into eachothers mouths, giggling. They cuddled up together, prompting yet more wolfwhistles from about a million teenagers.
Zara and Daniel walked back from the park together. They got back to their house and went inside. They went and sat in the kitchen. Zara wasnt impressed with Daniel lately, as he had hidden any form of caffeine from her. She knew she wouldnt drink much caffeine and had tried to tell him this, but given her normal daily caffeine intake, Daniel had hidden it anyway.
Daniel and Zara curled up on the sofa together, Zara with her head on Daniels chest. Daniel and Zara fell asleep on the sofa.
Daniel woke up. "Must've fallen asleep," He thought. He looked down at Zara, who was still fast asleep. He smiled , and leant down to kiss Zara. Zara opened her eyes eventually. "That was a nice way to wake up," Zara said, smiling. Daniel gave her another kiss. Zara sat up and smiled. "Do you want to stay in tonight?" Daniel asked. "Yeah thats fine, id love to Daniel," Zara said. "Good," Daniel said, smiling, "Just if we go out, alcohol would be too tempting," Zara started laughing. " For you maybe, but me, no," She said. Daniel smiled and hugged Zara.

It was the day Daniel and Zara had beeN waiting for. Today, Daniels sperm would be injected into 6 of Zaras eggs. They were so happy, and were smiling the whole way to the clinic. They parked up and walked in, hand in hand. Zara couldnnt stop smiling, which DaNiel found cute. EveN wheN he kissed her,, she was still smiling.
Zara annd Daniel walked out of the clinic. It was all done - now they only had to wait a week then Zara could quite possibly be pregnant, a thought that overjoyed Zara. Daniel kissed Zara, telling her how much he loved her. Zara cuddled Daniel. She was so happy, Annd Danniel knew it too. Daniel took Zara home, aNd they curled up in bed together. "Daniel, I'm not going to be able to sleep I'm that excited," Zara said. "I'm excited too Zara, we can stay up all night together." Daniel said, kissing Zara. Zara responded and before they knnew it, they were in a tight embrace. Zara eventually broke away from Daniel, reluctantly. She rested her head oN his chest again. Daniel played with Zaras hair. He hadn't done this iN a while, and surprisinngly, Zara let him. IN fact,She smiled and laughed. He seemed to love Zara's hair.
After about 15 minutes, Daniel left Zara's hair alone, and looked dowN at Zara. She had fallen asleep. She always seemed to be tired. Daniel wonndered what she'd be like pregnant - with her personality and her mood swings, Daniel would have to become some sort of saint.
Zara woke up to find a sleeping Daniel. She smiled, he looked quite cute asleep. He suddenly woke up, startling Zara. "Morning you beautiful persoN," Daniel said, giving Zara a kiss. Zara snuggled up to Daniel, who wrapped his arms tightly around her. Zara had never felt so in love before. She knew Daniel felt the same way, which made her feel evenn better.

Zara and Daniel were goinng to the clinic. A week had passed and it was time to see if any of the eggs had been fertilised. They were both excited but nervous. Zara pulled up at the clinic, and her an Daniel got out of the car. Zara clutched hold of Daniels hand and refused to let go. She was nervous, understandably.
It was good news. 2 eggs had been fertilised and were ready to be transferred to Zara's uterus. Daniel gave Zara a massive kiss and hug, as she went off to get them transferred.
Zara came back, Daniel could of sworn she was glowing with happiness. Daniel pulled her into a massive hug. Zara was smiling. They were sat dowN aNd told about the next things to happenn. In 2 weeks, Zara would have a pregnancy test. If bleeding or pain occured, The clinic was to be told immediatly - its a positive signn and they would briNg the pregnancy test forward. Zara took in every word, and so did Daniel.
They left the clinic and went home. After a LOT of kissing, they settled down on the sofa once again, Zara sitting on Daniels lap. They were all loved up but they didn't care, they were happy. They had work tomorrow, a day of winding up Mrs Tembe. Their smiles faded however, when they realised that Daniel was at the mill and Zara was at the campus. "Great, Me and Mrs Tembe," Zara said, "Can't wait!" Daniel started laughing. "I'm going to miss you," Zara said sadly. "Awww, well ill try and switch morning or afternoon with someone so at least we have half a day together. " Daniel said. Zara's smile returned, and she gave Daniel a hug. Daniel hugged her back, and they just sat like that for ages. Daniel prayed that at least one embryo implaNted itself,, otherwise both him and Zara would be devastated. He also wondered wheN they would tell the staff at the Mill. He looked at Zara, and hugged her tighter,
Zara and Daniel were at work. Zara was dealing with patients at the campus, as well as winding up Mrs Tembe. Daniel was at the Mill. He had managed to swap with Jimmi at lunch, but had decided to surprise Zara. He swore Jimmi to secrecy and said he couldn't meet Zara for lunch because Julia had hauled him into a luNchtime botox meeting. Zara was really dissapointed. Daniel felt horribly mean but carried out his plan anyway.
Zara was sitting with Mrs Tembe in reception. Suddenly the door opened and Daniel walked in. Zara was confused. "Surprise," DaNiel said. Zara walked over to him and kissed him. "I swapped with Jimmi, thought I'd surpise you!" Daniel said. Daniel and Zara started kissing in reception, much to the disgust of Mrs Tembe. Daniel and Zara found it hilarious. Zara grabbed Daniels hand and they went to her office. Mrs Tembe breathed a sigh of relief.

Zara and Daniel were working at the Campus together, with Mrs Tembe. They still had a few days till the actual pregnancy test. Zara was getting on with life as normal, and so was Daniel. Zara had a free 20 minutes, she was in her office. She was just reading a magazine, when she decided to go and make a coffee. Zara stood up, walked a bit of the way, then suddenly, she felt a strong pain in her stomach. She doubled up and collapsed on the floor. "Argghh! DANIEL!" Zara screamed.
Daniel had just finished seeing a patient, when he heard Zara screaming his name. He ran through reception and opened to door to Zara's office. Mrs Tembe wondered what was going on, but decided to keep to reception. "Zara!" Daniel said, at Zara's side immediatly. "Im losing it Daniel arnt i," Zara sobbed. "No, i thought they said pain was a good thing?" Daniel said. "But what if its not, im scared Daniel," Zara was crying. "Ill ring the hospital, let them know," Daniel said, getting his phone out.
"Hello? Yes Zara carmichael, shes experiencing severe pain, can we bring the pregnancy test forward? Yes? Brilliant. Thankyou," Daniel said. "3:00 today Zara, we got the pregnancy test," Daniel said. He put his arms around Zara, who was trying not to think of the pain. She grabbed on to Daniel, and buried her head in his chest. Mrs Tembe chose this moment to walk into the room to see what the commotion was all about. She walked in and then walked back out again.
Zara and Daniel were at the hospital, having a pregnancy test. The nurse was looking for 1 or 2 steady heartbeats. Zara and Daniel were both praying that it would be good news. "Right," The nurse said. Daniel and Zara both looked up, "Theres one steady heartbeat, congratulations Zara, your going to be a mummy!," Zara burst into tears she was so happy. She'd wanted a baby for so long and now it was all so real. Daniel pulled Zara into a hug and kissed her. The nurse smiled at them, wishing them congratulations. Zara would have to have more regular checks then other people, but everything should hopefully be fine. Zara and Daniel left the hospital, hand in hand. They were both escatic. They got in the car and drove home - Julia had understood and let them take the rest of the day off. Daniel and Zara went home.
Daniel and Zara had eaten dinner. Daniel knew Zara ate healthily anyway, but he made sure she ate enough, and constantly reminded her that she was eating for two. Zara was smiling all the time, and doing as she was told. Daniel had decided to fill up the fridge with orange juice. They went upstairs and lay in bed together, talking and laughing. "Just think Zara, you'll look pregnant as well!" Daniel said. "Oh great, ill be the size of a whale before long," Zara said. "No, you'll look gorgeous." Daniel said, smiling, and kissing Zara. He meant what he said aswell, she would be beautiful with a bump.

A couple of weeks had gone by and daniel and zara decided it was time to tell the people at the mill/campus. They went into work that morning, just as normal, but when everyone was in the staffroom, Daniel and Zara walked in. "Okay can everyone listen for a minute? we have got some news," Daniel said. All eyes were on Daniel and Zara. Daniel looked at Zara to break the news. "Im pregnant with my first baby," Zara said, smiling, "And Daniels going to be a Daddy again," The room was filled with claps and congratulations. Zara and Daniel kissed in front of everyone, prompting more claps. "Just thought we'd let you know, as your all our friends, and Zara may start getting bigger soon, so you all know," Daniel said. Zara nudged him about the "bigger" comment. "Well i think celebratory drinks are in order," Julia said. Everyone agreed to go to the icon after work. "Okay so meet here after surgery and we'll all go down there, but your only allowed orange juice Zara!" Karen said. Zara smiled. No Alcohol for the next 9 months, she thought. Oh well, it was definatly worth it. Zara could hardly concentrate throughout the morning. She was thinking about so many different things, apart from the work she had to do. She had seen a few patients and then had to settle down to some paperwork. She looked down at her flat stomach. She knew that in a few months, this would be a completely different story and she would hardly be able to fit behind the desk. Zara smiled at this. Lunch finally came and Daniel and Zara were sitting together in the staffroom. Daniel had bought Zara a carton of orange juice. Zara drank it immediatly, and got her lunch out. Heston was sitting on the sofa drinking a cup of tea. "Congratulations Zara and Daniel," Heston said, smiling. "Thankyou Heston," Zara said, smiling. Daniel nodded. "I knew from the second you entered the Mill Zara, that you and Daniel were meant to be together. It great to add a bit of love to the mill, and Zara i know you'll be on maternity leave for a while after having your baby, but will you bring him or her in to show us?" Heston said. "Of Course i will Heston, im not just going to sit at home on my own all day, ill bring the baby in to show everyone, and ill maybe come for lunch sometimes aswell," Zara said, giving Daniel a kiss. Heston walked out the room, Meeting Julia on the way. "Everything alright heston?" Julia said, smiling. "Yes it is thankyou Julia. The happy couple are in there, as much as im pleased for them about the baby, what sort of personality will it have with Daniel and Zara's combined?" Heston said, quietly. "Oh my, we better brace ourselves," Julia said, "No, im happy for them," The end of the day finally came and the doctors all met in the staffroom. They went off to the icon. The men all drank beer, but Cherry and Julia drank orange juice, so Zara didnt feel alone. Zara was grateful for this. Daniel sat next to Zara the whole time, and Cherry and Jimmi were sitting opposite. Both couples were happily kissing away, whilst Julia, Heston and Elaine were in the middle of them. "Love eh? I remember the days," Elaine said. Julia laughed. "At least their happy," Julia said, smiling. Eventually the gang piled out of the icon, surprisingly sober. Zara and Daniel drove home, smiling the whole way. They were happy that everyone at the Mill was being so supportive and friendly. Mrs Tembe was at the campus today so she didnt know yet. Zara couldnt wait for the look on Mrs Tembe's face when she found out though. Daniel pulled up on their drive and they went into the house. Zara was exhausted so she went straight up to bed. Daniel stayed downstairs for a bit, there was some washing up to do from breakfast. He eventually came upstairs, to see a sleeping Zara. He smiled and stroked her hair out of her face. He gave her a quick kiss and whispered "Night Zara," Zara opened her eyes slightly and said "Night Daniel, I love you," Zara snuggled up to Daniel and they both fell asleep. Guys, comment on the other thread? should i speed along a bit to when Zara starts getting a bump? i have a few ideas for that time
