Hi all,
Sorry it's been a while. Been so busy so apologies for not leaving reviews on all of your stories and also been lacking a bit of inspiration but I thought about Bonnie the other day and thought I would do a story on her return. This may be one or more chapter(s), we'll see : )
Cal came hurrying into the ED with his daughter, he spotted Ethan walking whilst reading some notes.
"Ethan!" Cal hurried over to him, sounding desperate. Ethan looked up and read Cal's distressed face.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked.
"It's Matilda, I found a rash on her." Cal worried. Ethan's mouth opened a little.
"Right." Ethan thought. "Follow me." Ethan lead Cal to small resus, starting to sound a little concerned. The boys entered the room. "Put her on the bed." Ethan said as he grabbed an ear thermometer.
"What are you doing?" Cal asked, slightly scared. Cal knew Ethan wouldn't do anything to hurt Matilda.
"I need to check her temperature." Ethan hurried, taking the lid off and placing it in the young infants ear as she wriggled uncomfortably. Ethan was shocked by the results. "41 oC. She has a high fever." Ethan got up and went to look for paracetamol and or ibuprofen.
"What are you doing?" Cal asked. Ethan looked at him.
"Come on Cal you're a doctor, I need to look for some medicine to get the temperature down. I'll be right back. Just keep her comfortable." Ethan left the room and made his way to a medicine cabinet. Which he had to go through reception to get to it. He heard his name being called.
"Ethan, can you take this casualty?" Dixie called whilst wheeling someone in with Iain.
"Erm yes, take him or her to bay 3 in resus, I'll be there soon." Ethan stammered then walked to the medicine cupboard, he got what he needed then headed back to his niece. "Right Cal, I need you to hook Matilda up to this, I really need to see a patient." Ethan handed Cal the medicines then left. He entered resus to find Dr Keogh with his new patient.
"Right Ethan this is Carol Lune, query fractured leg in a horse riding accident. Can you take it from here?" Dylan asked as Ethan read the notes. Ethan nodded in reply then walked up to the patient.
"Right, Carol. My name is Doctor Hard..." Ethan couldn't finish his sentence as he looked up from the notes. "Bonnie..." Ethan dropped his mouth open.
"Hello Dr Hardy. Nice to see you again. Oh and it's Carol not Bonnie. Shh." Bonnie whispered as she held a finger to her lips and smiled.
Ethan looked at Robyn, who was assisting Ethan. Why didn't she recognise her? Robyn knew what Bonnie was like. Ethan pulled her aside.
"Robyn, doesn't she look at tad familiar?" Ethan queried, pointing to Bonnie with his head. Robyn thought.
"I don't know what you mean, Dr Hardy." Robyn replied. Ethan was confused, why didn't Robyn recognise her? Ethan walked back over to her and began to examine Bonnie's leg.
"I understand you have a niece?" Bonnie broke the silence. Ethan froze. "How old is she?"
"I'm afraid I can't discuss that with you." Ethan replied as politely as he could but it was hard. "Right that is gonna need an X-ray. I'll go get a porter." Ethan couldn't leave resus quick enough. He felt his chest tighten. He saw Iain and walked up to him.
"Iain, the woman you and Dixie brought in, did she look familiar to you?" Ethan asked, Iain looked at him confused.
"Who? Carol Lune?" Iain replied. Ethan rolled his eyes.
"It's Bonnie. You know Bonnie? Murdered her husband? Was in a wheelchair but she managed to walk?" Ethan watched as Iain's face became even more clueless.
"Ethan, mate. You feeling alright? Looking a bit peaky." Iain looked at Ethan's pale face.
"I'm fine." Ethan suddenly remembered his niece. He had to protect her, especially from Bonne. He quickly walked to small resus with Iain still standing there confused.
Oh dear, is Ethan slightly going mad? Why did Iain and Robyn not recognise Bonnie? Was the whole Femme Fatale thing Ethan's fantasy?
Anyway going to leave there so I can work on the next chapter. Sorry it's a bit rubbish, bit of a writers block going on anyway see you guys soon!
