Chapter One.
Disclaimer - All I own in this is Ainsley Jones, Poppy Knight and my storylines. Everything else belongs to the creators of Casualty.
A/N - This is a re-write of a story I posted previously. I decided to re-write it as I've been watching the On Call episode and I wanted to try and write my own version. In this, the mother of Cal's daughter is my OC Ainsley, the baby is called Poppy. Ainsley and Cal eventually get together. Ethan will be a huge part in this Fanfic (I love the brothers) along with Iain, Dixie, Rita and others in the ED.
If no one likes this then I'll take it down.
Ainsley would be played by Demi Lovato.
Tell me what you think.

The music was pounding in the club. Ainsley was downing shots with her best friend Lola. "You've had enough," Lola said. She was the responsible one.
Ainsley scoffed and looked at Lola. "I'm twenty-one. I have no one at home waiting for me unless you count my puppy but he's likely to be snoozing," she said.
Lola rolled her eyes. "Look, I just think we should take it easy. You have a hair salon to open tomorrow," she told her friend.
Ainsley owned her own business. The premises had been left to her by her Nan when she passed away. Ainsley had been raised by her Nan her whole life. "Lola, I want to meet a hot guy. Make out passionately with him and maybe more then I want to start my whole life again tomorrow," she said.

Cal arrived at the club with Iain. The two had become quite close recently. "I'll get the first lot of drinks," Cal said. Iain thanked him and Cal went over to the bar. "Can I get two pints of larger?"
The bartender went to get their drinks. Cal looked around and saw two girls sitting at the bar. Cal smirked and walked over to them. "Have you lost your heart? Because I've just found it," he said.
The girl with the long brown hair looked up. "Babe, if you had my heart then we'd be in bed right now and I'd not be drinking my pain away," she said.
"Cal."
"Ainsley."

Ainsley and Lola had joined Cal and Iain. Ainsley was flirting with Cal. He had his hand on her thigh. "Ainsley, that was Lewis who rang. I'm gonna head home," Lola said.
"See you chick. Thanks for a good time," Ainsley said as she stood and hugged her friend. "I'll text you tomorrow hon."
"Bye."

Half an hour after Lola had gone, Iain stood and announced he was leaving. "See you at work Cal. Don't stay up too late," he joked.
"You know me Iain, I have a reputation to proceed."
Iain laughed and walked off. Cal looked at Ainsley. "So, we're alone now," Ainsley said.
"Indeed. Could get up to all sorts now we're alone," Cal told her. He wasn't going to beat around the bush. "Another drink?" He asked.
"Sure."
Cal went to get more drinks. He looked to see Ainsley checking her hair. He thought she was beautiful. He wanted her. After he got the drinks, he went back over to her. "A drink for my gorgeous friend," Cal said.
Ainsley laughed and she took a huge swig of her drink. She looked over at Cal. "You're so bloody hot," she said in a manner of factly way.
"I never get tired of hearing that," Cal told her. He pulled Ainsley closer to him and smirked. "We could always go somewhere more private. Have some fun," he whispered.
Ainsley found herself agreeing. She downed the rest of her drink and saw that Cal had done the same. They stood up and went outside. The minute they were alone, Cal pushed Ainsley against a wall and his lips found hers in a passionate embrace. Ainsley pulled away. "We could go back to yours," she suggested.
"Let's go."

With quite a bit of difficulty, Cal managed to drive himself and Ainsley back to the flat. "My brother will be sleeping. Shh," Cal said.
Ainsley nodded and Cal took her inside. The minute the front door was closed, they began kissing heatedly. "Bedroom."
They went to the bedroom and Cal undressed her while she did the same to him. Cal pushed her onto the bed but she flipped them so she was on top. "I like it on top," she whispered.
"Tough."
Their battle for who was on top soon ended and eventually their making out led onto something more.
The Next Morning.
Cal woke and felt Ainsley in his arms. Cal smiled and kissed her head which woke her. "Morning gorgeous."
Ainsley smiled. "Morning yourself handsome. I'd love to stay but I'm due at work soon," she mumbled. She didn't want to leave Cal but knew she had clients. "Maybe you could call me though?"
Cal nodded and as Ainsley got dressed, he put her number in his phone. "If you ever need medical assistance then Holby City Hospital. Ask for Caleb Knight."
Ainsley laughed. "I'll see you around Dr Knight."
Nine Months Later
Ainsley pulled up outside Holby City ED. She heard a mild whimpering coming from the backseat. She turned to see her newborn daughter Poppy sleeping. Poppy was born a week ago. "Come on sweetie. Let's go and meet your daddy," she whispered to the sleeping baby.
Ainsley gently took her daughter from the car and made sure she was wrapped up. Poppy began whimpering again. "Shh sweetie. Mummy's got you."

Cal took a step outside. He had just lost a patient in Resus. He needed a breather. Cal looked around and paled. Coming towards him was Ainsley. "A-Ainsley?"
"Hello Cal."
Cal took notice of the little baby girl sleeping. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
Ainsley looked down at Poppy. "I-I thought you might want to meet your daughter, Poppy," Ainsley said.
Cal scoffed. "You expect me to believe that she's mine? No chance. Just go," he spat.
Ainsley flinched. She turned and went to walk away when Cal called her back. "You dropped her dummy," he said.
"Thanks," Ainsley mumbled. She took Poppy's dummy from Cal and tried to hide the tears that were threatning to spill.

Ethan had seen everything. He watched as the girl walked off with a small pink bundle. In part, Ethan didn't blame Cal for reacting the way he did. He was led to believe Matilda was his daughter. It had devestated him when he realised she wasn't. Part of Ethan knew the little girl was in fact Cal's daughter and his niece.
Ethan walked over to Cal. "What are you playing at?" He asked his older brother.
Cal looked at Ethan. "She expects me to believe that her kid is my kid. I can't believe that Ethan, not after Taylor," Cal said.
Ethan sighed and looked at Ainsley's car as it drove off. "I get that, Cal. I do but she doesn't look like Taylor. She could be telling the truth about the baby."
"Poppy."
"Sorry?"
Cal smiled slightly as he looked at Ethan. "Poppy, that's what Ainsley named her."
Ethan nodded. He could understand why Cal had some doubts but he hoped that if Poppy was actually Cal's daughter then maybe Cal could actually have a chance at being a father. "Let's find Ainsley's home address and visit her. Together."
Cal found himself agreeing. He wanted to be a dad so badly. He wanted to love a child like they deserved. Poppy was a second chance for him and he wouldn't let that go.
