The electronic doors meant that there was no chance to slam the door, something that Nikki was very glad for. Alan had just finally dropped off to sleep after waking up to the unpleasant surprise that he was about to lose his lunch (So to speak, she thought), and that was a lot of hours to be awake and miserable. Nikki kept a firm hold on the tray she was carrying, which bore a now-empty water jug. She made her way back down to the sick room to replenish it, but bumped into Kat on the way, who was taking care of a certain someone.
"Hello Nikki," Kat said, gently tugging Joshua's arm to urge him onwards.
"Hey Kat," Nikki said.
"It's awful what's happened, isn't it?" She asked. "Whenever I heard, I just had to come and help. I think Lisa and Kyrano were glad to have Joshua off their hands for a little while."
Nikki grinned and tipped a wink to the little boy.
"Your daddy's working hard today," she glanced at her watch and said, "and so am I. I've got to get going. Be a good boy, won't you?" she said to Joshua. Her eyes rolled up to Kat, and she grinned slyly. "And you be a good girl and don't hide him away to keep him."
Kat chuckled and shook her head. Joshua glanced up and giggled at her mirth.
"We'll see," she said.
Nikki gave them a wave before heading off again, shaking her head.
