Connie had been working in the ED for roughly 3 months now, getting on Zoe's nerves was the top priority and finding every little thing that she could do to get Guy Self down to the ED.

Connie was walking into the ED when she saw Zoe outside smoking. 'Smoking? I thought you were giving up Zoe.' Zoe just rolled her eyes and followed Connie into the building. 'Mrs Beauchamp?' Connie turned around unwillingly, 'Yes Zoe?' Zoe immediately thought about what she was going to say, would it cause another row between them? 'Connie, what exactly is wrong with you today?' Connie smirked knowing where this was going, 'Zoe I just said I thought you was going to stop smoking? After all it's better for your health and the patients you treat afterwards.' Zoe looked puzzled that Connie was actually caring for her or she knew she had something up her sleeve.

Connie walked off into the office to put her things down and get ready for the day ahead. Zoe went to the office shortly after her but went in quietly after hearing Connie on her iPhone

'What do you mean she's unwell? Can't you get the nanny to pick her up from school? But seriously Mrs Trelfa please can you just ring the nanny I've got an incredibly busy day today and I won't be able to get her even if I tried. And finally please don't ring me when I'm at work!' Connie slammed the phone down and sighed.

'Is everything okay Connie?' Zoe asked 'Grace isn't well so needs to be picked up from school but they didn't ring the nanny before me, and it's the 2nd time this week she's gone in ill'

They were both interrupted by Tess coming in saying there was a 10 year old girl and Mother coming in after an RTC. '2 patients coming into resus in 2 minutes, Connie you take the girl and Zoe have the mother.' They both jumped up quickly and ran to resus.

'Okay Jeff what have we got?' Connie asked. 'This is Isabel, shes 10 KOed at the scene and still not much response from her. Stats are low she was given a litre of saline at the scene and another on route. Her mother Maria is awake and is just a bit shaken up with a laceration to her forehead and query fractured wrist.' Connie nodded. 'Thanks Jeff, we can take it from here.' Jeff walked off.

'Isabel, I'm Mrs Beauchamp I'm going to make you better. Can you squeeze my hand if you can hear me?' Connie feels a weak squeeze from the girl. 'That's is good girl, Tess can we bloods Us Es Cs and a head CT please?' Tess nodded and went to book the CT.

'Isabel sweetheart can you try your hardest to open your eyes for me?' there's no response from Isabel. 'Tess! she's unresponsive! can you boost her CT place please?' Tess nodded. 'Isabel I really need you to be able to hear me so again I'm going to ask you to squeeze my hand.' once again there's no response. Connie spots Cal walking through resus, 'Cal I could use your help if you're able to?' Connie shouted across the resus unit, 'Yeh sure' Cal walked over. 'She's unresponsive I did have a small response earlier but I've lost it again. Tess is boosting her up on CT. could you please help me do a full abdo check? I think there could be some injury.'

Cal and Connie work together examining Isabel then notice something 'pneumothorax?' Cal said 'Yes I was just about to say that, but also I think due to the collapsed left lung a valve to her heart has been damaged. We to get her to CT as quickly as possible we're racing against time here.' Cal nodded at that. Just then Tess ran in and said they can take Isabel now.

Isabel is taken up to CT and her head and neck is cleared, so they can take the collar off.

'Her head and neck is clear, Cal can you take her collar off?' Cal takes the collar off as Connie pushes some saline through. The machines start to go off. 'we need to get her to theatre now!' Connie shouts 'They're fully booked Connie.' Tess replies. 'Okay well I'll do it here then!'

Connie performs the necessary surgery on Isabel to save her life. 'Okay ring ITU and then she can go up there, good work everyone. Isabel should make a full recovery.' Suddenly Ash runs in. 'Connie can I have a word?' Connie walks over 'Grace is on her way in, she collapsed at school in the middle of the dining hall and she's got a very week pulse.' Connie was holding back tears at the news. Cal notices her 'Mrs Beauchamp is everything okay?' Cal asked concerned. 'Cal everything is fine!' Connie snapped back and walked off to the office. Cal followed her.

'Mrs Beauchamp..'

'For god sakes call me connie you sound like a school boy!'

'Connie, I've never seen you like this before. I'm really worried'

Connie looks up and notices Cal standing in front of her. 'Sit down and I'll tell you.'

Connie tells Cal what's going on. 'My shift is nearly finished, I can stay with you if you want?'

'Would you? Only if that's okay?'

'Yes of course it is.'

okay so yeh this is my first fic so tell me what you think? should I carry on with it?
