When an unforeseen attack from Grindelwald leaves Newt fighting for life, his five companions struggle to cope with the fact that they could lose him forever. Lines are sketched, love is tested, and everyone is drawn closer together...
"So... are you a surgeon?" Asked Jacob, watching him drop the gloves in a small wastebasket.
Nick turned around again.
"No, I'm just an MA. Uhh, medical assistant," he clarified at Jacob's puzzled expression. "I've only been here a couple years."
"Right."
"Dr Mallord- he's the surgeon in charge- he's coming in an hour to check on how he's doing, especially after yesterday."
"Yesterday?" The question came from Queenie that time.
"Yeah. The day he was admitted to hospital, Mallord took a look at his leg, checked on what was out of place, whether he could fix it or not. They couldn't do anything then, but they managed to stem the bleeding."
"Do you think he'll be able to? Fix it, I mean?"
"It's hard to say. Mallord is the best surgeon we have- a specialised one, too- but Newt's leg..." he started shaking his head. "Look, here's the thing." He leaned in slightly. "Nobody thinks he's going to survive. The surgeons are trying their best, but he's lost so much blood... I think that he may have a chance, but for now we just have to keep our fingers crossed... and hope that Dr Mallord is skilled enough for this one."
The three of them exchanged worried glances.
"Well, thank you, Nick," said Tina, inclining her head. He returned the gesture.
"My pleasure. See you guys around?"
She vaguely nodded.
Nick clutched the handles on the wheelie table and started for the green door, then turned halfway.
"Hang in there, okay guys? I think he'll make it," he added, then gave them a wink before disappearing through the green door again.
"I hope so," Jacob muttered after he left.
"We all do," Queenie added.
Tina let everything soak in.
If Dr Mallord was the top surgeon, he could heal Newt, couldn't he? She looked back to Newt. There was a faint red patch on the bandage where the blood had started to soak through. Tina cringed.
Queenie broke the silence.
"Do you think he's telling the truth? About that Mallord guy being the best?"
Tina looked up in surprise. He had to be, hadn't he? If he was in charge of fixing Newt's broken leg then he had to be! And if he wasn't... then they'd soon find out.
"He's got to be. Especially if he's taking care of Newt," Jacob answered for her.
"Do you think we should leave before he arrives?" Whispered Queenie.
Tina zoned out on the conversation, so she didn't notice when they started heading for the door. She was completely lost in her thoughts. And for some reason, she still couldn't forget Newt's final words to her.
There's only one thing I regret anyway.
Tina fought her blush. The only thing? That was the one thing he regretted? It made a warm, fuzzy feeling bloom inside her. It made her feel special.
"Teen? You ok?"
She snapped out of her reverie.
"I'm fine. Can I meet you at the lift?" She mumbled, not taking her eyes off Newt.
Queenie and Jacob left on silent feet.
Tina watched them exit, then leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to Newt's cheek before smiling to herself and walking out after them.
Another update!
Sorry, I was actually doing stuff today (wow, good job me)
I had some friends over and I forced them to watch FBAWTFT and we all screamed for an hour about Newtina and FB3 and catching up to watch FBTCOG after that. So yeah, today was great.
It just makes my day to know that so many of you are enjoying this fic, I just had this vague idea of a scene where Tina saves Newt for once and... wow! Over 150 views already?! WOW! I AM SHOOKETHHHH
Here is a picture of Tina's photo frame...

I actually thought of what I wanted it to look like before I found the picture (I tend to do that a lot), so this is the closest thing I could find. It's pretty accurate anyways ^^
Let me know what you think of Nick so far. Do you like him? Hate him? Want to see more of him? (I already wrote most of the fanfiction in Onenote, but I can always go back and add more ^^) I quite like him, he's one of my favourite OCs, and I feel like he'd fit right into this era too XD he's a chill boi
