This was prompted by Lily's comment when they crashed on Saturday's episode (Born Lucky). I think she really has feelings for Ethan (god I know I would) and so I decided to write down my perfect scene, even if it didn't happen! One shot I think for now :)

"Ethan! Help him please!" She creamed, tears streaming down her face as Tess robbed her arm soothingly.

"Lily, Lily calm down sweetheart he's going to be ok, I promise you. We all are." She said calmly, though her face told a different story.

Lily just laid and sobbed. She didn't know what she'd do if she lost him. The doctor spent most of the short car journey catching sly glimpses of his eyes in the mirror above his head, rather than reading the map, which was why they were all so lost. But it was worth it, just to see how proud he was that Mrs Beauchamp had chosen him to drive. His glittering eyes shined as they watched the road intently, and Lily lost count of the amount of times she felt her heart flutter.

She'd realised her feelings towards him the day he slapped his brother for being a complete arse. The fact he would do that for her was so heartwarming. He had the sweetest personality too. They would sit and work through their reports together in the staffroom, and all the while Ethan would try make her laugh. It's fair to say he managed it a few times, but most of the time she spent inwardly beaming- still cautious about showing emotion.

Lily wasn't good when it came to love. She had fallen for a boy in her youth but that turned out extremely badly. Since then she'd been like an emotionless robot, only showing signs she was human when she had to, or when her body couldn't contain it any longer. The latter was usually around Ethan.

"Alright Lily the ambulance is here now, ok? They're going to get you out." Tess' voice brought her back to reality. All of a sudden, a hot, sharp shooting pain shot through her right arm, causing her to emit an ear piercing scream.

"I need morphine!" She screamed as the doctor was extracted from the wreckage and placed on a trolley, ready to go back to the ED.

"Doctors already have a reputation for being bad patients, don't make it any worse!" Tess smiled as she followed her colleague into the ambulance.

"Where's Ethan?" She said, gasping with the pain and breathing in deeply through the rubber tube Geoff had given her. Connie climbed in beside the bed and they were off.

"He'll be ok, he's a fighter. Don't worry." Tess replied, gingerly reaching for her hand. Lily clasped it tightly. She only wished it was Ethan's.

A few hours later and she was all patched up in cubicles. Robyn had brought her some tea from the staffroom and she was sipping it gently, when Tess came round the corner.

"I was wondering if you wanted to go see him? He's stable and in an ICU room." She said softly.

"Yes please." Lily replied, and the sister helped her up and into a wheelchair. Then, together, they made their way to the ICU.

Once they got to his room, Tess ushered the nurses out and wheeled Lily in.

"I'll wait for you outside." She smiled before turning to walk out of the room.

"Tess?" Lily said quickly. She looked round.

"Thankyou."

"You're most welcome." Tess replied, winking at the doctor before shutting the door behind her.

Lily took a long hard look at the man that lay in front of her. Even battered and bruised, he looked better than she thought he would. Her eyes traced the delicate curves of his face, down his neck and over his chest until she got to his waist, where she stopped, blushing. The doctor leant over slightly and placed her hand over his, delicately at first as if he might break. Then she wrapped her fingers around it, and squeezed gently.

"Please get better soon Ethan." She whispered, tearing forming in her eyes. "It's horrible seeing you without a smile on your face, or with your eyes closed instead of open and sparkling. I know," she paused, taking a deep breath, "I know I've been very hostile to you in the past, but I apologise for all of that. I've really come to care about you, even- even love you." She said, feeling the first tear slide down her face as she watched his chest rise and fall. "Yes, I love you Ethan Hardy, and that's why you need to get better. If not for anyone, for me."

She suddenly felt a slight squeeze on her fingers, and her eyes shot to his face. His eyes were open, and indeed sparking. He made some mumbling sounds, and Lily leant over and removed his oxygen mask.

"I love you too." He said weakly and out of breath. Lily smiled her best smile yet, stood up and kissed him gently on the lips.

"Get better soon. I'll come visit again soon." She whispered as she pulled away and put his oxygen mask back before sitting back down in the wheelchair again. She turned around to see Tess watching them through the window. Lily gave her the thumbs up and a slight smile, and she came in.

"Ready to go?" She asked.

"Yes. I'll be back soon Ethan. I promise." Lily said as Tess wheeled her out of the room.

"Goodbye Ethan." The older woman smiled before shutting the door to his room, and wheeling Lily back downstairs again.

Ah, Young love, she smiled to herself.
