Nick heard Julia arguing with the nurse so while the other one was bandaging
up his ribs he pushed the call button hoping that Julia got hte hint and
came down his way looking for him.

Julia was about to say something else but saw the light and grinned before
straightening "Never mind thanks. Thank you so much for your help."

She had seen the room number 108 B and headed that way.  Not much, except
for the nurse's bedside manner, had changed.

"Hey, wait.. you can't -" the nurse was close on her heels and Julia sighed.

"Look, I know you have a hard day here in emergency," she turned to the
nurse and tried to be patient with her "But if you keep me from my fiance
you're going to think it's been a cake walk til now."

She was glad Kat hadn't been around to see her lose her cool.  She could
well imagine the way Kat was feeling now what with the demon having
immitated Julia and the parts of the fight she had seen.

"And while you're at it, I need to check on Rachel Corrigan and her
daughter.  We're all family where it counts so please don't make me call
your boss and have him call you back to do something nice, okay?"

They opened the door just then and Julia looked in, instantly spotting Nick
as he was sitting up and getting tapped up by another nurse.

The nurse looked at the two suspisciously but then saw Julia's relieved and
yet concerned expression as the young woman went to sit in the chair beside
his bed and touch the bandages on his uninjured side tentively.

"No chasing for you tonight, Boyle." Julia said by way of greeting before
sitting up off of the chair enough to give him a quick and equally relieved
kiss that he was as in good a shape as he was.

The nurse taping him up looked at her and the one she was working on
curiously "And you are?"
