There were fourteen patients; three in critical condition, nine stable and two ready to be discharged. There were ten bunches of flowers; four mixed rose bouquets, one tulip bouquet, three lily bouquets and two wild flower bouquets. There were four nurses on shift, one orderly and a tea lady named April who did in fact know how to make a proper cup of tea and of course there were the Other Doctors who Coraline mostly seemed to ignore especially the handsy one. Some of the Other Doctors were idiots, the nursing staff on the other hand were quite good and April, April was a saint. Especially when she bought her a cup of tea in the middle of an eighteen hour shift.

"Hello Miss Spink," Coraline asked, brushing her hand on the shoulder of one of the new nurses before leaning across the desk to take the mug from her. Taking a mouthful Coraline let out a low happy moan, her hand tightened on the shoulder before she let go and smiledbrightly at the tea lady. "Miss Spink you are a lifesaver. How's your knee?"

"Oh, you know can't complain. It's Miriam's hip that are the problem, when we used to tread the boards we never had any troubles but now everything aches and creaks." Coraline smiled, turning before hopping up onto the desk swinging her long legs back and forth as she drank the tea. Looking down startled at the handsome man staring up at her, Coraline flushed as he stared intently at her. No one really looked at her like that before not like they wanted to... um, eat her. It was kind of creepy and a little bit hot. "Here Aidan dear, I made you a nice cup of coffee."

Coraline swallowed her tea as he reached over to take the coffee, his intense stare lightening as he smiled at Miss Spink.

"Have you met Aidan yet Caroline? Aidan is one of our nurses, he's taking over some of Rebecca's shifts. Aidan this is Doctor Jones."

"It's Coraline actually, Coraline Jones. Hello," Coraline said offering her hand.

"Well, why don't you really make good and sure that I'm alive," he murmured as he leaned forward, kissing her softly as he spoke.

This was a bad idea. Really, really bad in fact but he couldn't help himself. She was so irresistibly tempting and he wanted her. He wanted to feel the heat of her skin and the taste of her lips. Her blood pumped through her veins so loudly it was like a rushing in his ears and Aidan had to fight to keep himself from doing more than just sliding his arm to her waist and pulling her close.

"Because this isn't mmph-" Coraline found herself cut off by a soft, gentle kiss to her lips. Coraline's eyes widened, hesitant in returning the kiss before she pushed that little part of her that said run aside and kissed him hard. Curling her fingers round his shoulders, she tugged him close as she leaned into his kiss. Leg sliding up against his as he pulled her close. She wanted him and it freaked her out a little how much she wanted him.

Pressing her bare fingers against her neck, she almost slid onto his lap before hesitating at the very public location.

Aidan was surprised at how hard she kissed him back, but it was certainly a pleasant surprise. He could feel her shift against him, but he knew that it was a bad idea. Even if it weren't a very public place, he could feel the hunger in him bursting to be let out.

Slowly pulling away, Aidan closed his eyes and pressed his forehead against Coraline's. He could feel his fangs partially out and was sure that if she could see them right now, his eyes would be black. He took several deep breaths before he was calm enough again to open his eyes.

"So... how alive am I?"

Her lips followed Aidan's for a moment as he pulled back, pressing his head against hers. Feeling a little breathless, Coraline bit her bottom lip tugging as she looked at Aidan with his eyes closed shut. Brushing her lips against his, she slid her hand beneath the back of his top and let her fingers run along his neck.

"The test results are inconclusive," Coraline said seriously, her leg running up his as she shifted beside him. "We should double check to make sure before we prescribe any treatment for lack of aliveness."
