My first fic so please be nice.
Chapter 1
Eddi was on auto-pilot as she entered the hospital. It was when she neared AAU that it really hit her. Luc was gone.
"Nurse McKee, there's a meeting in Mr Hanssen's office. Ten minutes," Sasha Levy instructed as she sat down, sighing. "Why?" It was a stupid question. It would be about Luc decision not to accept the contract, despite what he had told her on the roof she knew he hadn't or hid stupid face would be standing next to her.
Ten minutes later and the staff of AAU were sitting or standing in Henrik Hanssen's office. "I am sure some of you may be aware but Dr. Luc Hemingway has left our staffing team." Hanssen drawled. "This did not come as a shock to me but we, as of yet, have not found a suitable replacement. We will hope to do this quickly and efficiently, thank you for your time. Now leave and get on with your jobs." Eddi walked despondently from the office, her thoughts dragging her down. "Eddi, Eddi…?" Sasha's voice asked "Are you O.K?" He continued. She whipped around, shocking Sasha slightly. "What do you think?" She left the question hanging in the air. Before he could reply Eddi barged past him and in to the room marked "Ladies".
Once in the loo's she let the long awaited tears streak across her cheeks. How could he leave? After saying he would stay? Her head was a mess, did Luc care? From what he had just done, most probably not. Did she care about him? Her heart was screaming Yes, but the more rational side of her was telling her to forget what had happened between them. None of her was saying she didn't care, because the truth was, Eddi McKee was in love with Luc Hemingway.
Suddenly she felt very sick. Eddi spun round, and promptly vomited violently in to one of the toilets. As she was wiping the sick of her mouth Chrissie entered the loo. "My god Eddi, are you alright?" Chrissie whined. Uggg, all she needed, Chrissie pestering her to know if she was fine. Eddi dragged herself up and over to sink. She looked a state; mascara smudged, eyes red raw and puffy from crying, the list went on. "Just something bad I ate last night." She smiled weakly at her colleague. It was a lie, Eddi hadn't actually eaten anything the previous night but it was all she could think of quickly. "O.K, just take it easy for the rest of the day." Chrissie replied, unconvincingly. Eddi exited the loo and went over to see her first patient of the day.
Sasha was currently on his break, he had taken the opportunity to have a cup of coffee in the currently unoccupied staff room. He had just taken the first sip of the hot liquid when his girlfriend walked in. "Sash, I'm worried about Eddi?" He looked up and stared at Chrissie. "Why, you still don't think she and Luc were together?" Chrissie shook her head and sat next the Sasha. "I found her in the loo, she had just been vomiting. She looked really pale and ill." Sasha's eyebrows went up. "Did you ask her what was wrong? You're probably just over reacting." "Well, she said it was just something she ate, I hope she's O.K," Chrissie said concern evident in her voice.
That night Eddi sat in her bathroom, crying. She couldn't look at it again. It was only a word, but it would change her whole life. Eddi McKee was pregnant.
