This is my first attempt at a Cara fanfic, I just want to write about Cara in this given situation. Please read and review and let me know if you want me to carry on!
Cara slips out of her double bed and looks at the clock on her phone, It was still dark out but she knew she needs to get up or she wouldn't get up at all today. She shivers as her bare feet touch the cold wooden floor beneath her and sighs "Another day of vomit and drunks for me" she says as she realises that she is talking to herself.
Her relationship with her boyfriend 'Tom' was going well until his ex-girlfriend came on the scene once again, it was just her luck that Tom went for Sarah as Cara always says Sarah was a lot prettier than her, she had a figure and a good set of boobs unlike Cara who was pretty flat chested.
Cara never had much luck with her relationships especially with her Mother Andrea who she hasn't seen in over twelve months and it was the same with her sister Claire who is living the dream in Chicago as a Cosmetic Dentist with her husband Niall and their son (Cara's nephew) Matthew then there is her younger half-sister Camille she's still living at home and is a training Carer at a care home. She had always had her Dad beside her... well in her memory of what she can remember of him because he passed away when she was just six.
Once Cara is dressed she makes her way out of the house with everything she needs for her day, she puts her headphones in and starts to blast 'The script' one of her favourite bands. She begins her brisk walk to the hospital admiring the morning fog on the fields as she passes a school playing field near her house, she turns the volume up on her phone as her favourite song blasts which is by The Fray.
'Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God, he hears you
And pray to God, he hears you'
She walks down an ally way not the best of places to walk on your own on a cold foggy morning especially down an ally way where you could easily get mugged or even worse. She comes to another ally way which leads straight up to the hospital she kicks a few cardboard boxes out of the way as she needs to get past, she hears a little noise coming from one of the boxes and what she found next astonishes her.
'Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life'
Cara peers into the box and moves some of the blankets away to reveal a tiny face, she gasps and inhales the cold foggy air, the babies lips are turning a blue color she freezes for a second unsure on what to do then her nursing instincts kick in and she strips herself down to her V-shaped top and skinny jeans and lays her coat and cardigan down on the floor and she gently lifts the baby out of the box and onto the coat and wraps the little baby up.
"Who could do such a horrible thing to you?" Cara says as she finds a pulse and pulls the baby close to her chest with the coat and cardigan wrapped around it too.
She practically runs to AAU which this little bundle in her arms, she was also scared of what people are going to think has happened but what worried Cara the most is that when she lifted the baby out of that tatty old box the baby was only in a nappy which was completely soiled and that the baby still had part of the umbilical cord was still attached to the baby and had been tied off with a dirty piece of string.
"Morven!" She shouts as she enters the ward, Morven walks over to her cheerfully and smiles.
"Yes?" Morven questions Cara.
"Look Morven I need a bed on the ward now" she begins causing Morven to look at her with confusion written across her face.
"What?"
Cara looks around the ward she needs assistance quick the baby who is lying against her chest is shivering and she can feel it "Dr Shreve! please just do it" Cara pleads.
They both head over to a bay and Cara pulls the curtains around them and then places the shivering baby down on the bed. Morven's mouth drops open "Is that... yours?" Morven splutters.
"No!" Cara replies almost instantly. "look I was walking to work and I decided to walk up this ally way that leads straight to the hospital..." Cara is cut off by Morven.
"Didn't your Mother ever tell you about alley ways in Holby?... they are dangerous!" Morven says enthusiastically thinking she sounds clever.
Cara rolls her eyes and feels the baby again the baby is now slowly warming up. "I will cut to the chase Morven! I nearly fell over the baby in this tatty box. Look we need to get it warmed up now" Cara explains and Morven thinks for a moment.
Then just as Morven has a light bulb moment Fletch pulls back the curtain to see both girls looking back at him a little stunned.
"Oh sorry I thought this bay was free" Fletch apologizes.
"Fletch!" Cara calls as he walks away and Fletch comes back into the cubical and pulls the curtains shut.
"What are you doing with a baby Cara?" Fletch questions a little confused.
"Exactly what I was about to say, So Nurse Martinez care to explain this" another voice comes from behind the curtain it was Serena and she didn't sound best impressed at all.
Morven's face lit up as Serena walks in but Cara bites her lip "This baby needs urgent medical assistance, its freezing cold" Cara splutters and both Serena and Fletch stand there looking at Cara as if she has gone mad.
