Leddi Fanfic- Chapter 3

Thank you for reading the past two chapters, sorry there is no Luc in the next couple of chapters, but there will be more of him after then:)

Eddi thought her and Luc were really good together so she couldn't understand why he'd gone. She didn't know whether it was her who had freaked him out by giving him a key to her flat. She kept trying to ring him but he didn't answer, 2 weeks had passed and nothing, she had told Sacha about everything, he hadn't heard anything from him either. They were both quite worried, but Eddi was more angry with him, she couldn't believe he could just go. The only thing he left was a book, a book. Why a book?

Eddi had asked for quite a bit of overtime because she didn't want to be alone; because then she would have to think about Luc and she couldn't do that, it would just make her miss him more. She worked from about 6am to 9pm pretty much every day until Sacha would send her home but then she would go out and get drunk, to forget everything.

Sacha was getting really worried and annoyed at Eddi, going out every night, coming in work in the morning with a hangover, being sick every morning; he didn't know what to do with her.

Sacha "Look Eddi, I know Luc leaving can't be easy on you, but you still have to get on with your life, you have a job and friends; friends that want to help you."

Eddi "Your right Sacha it isn't easy on me, I loved him, I mean I love him, then he just decides to go, how could he do that?"

Sacha "I know, why don't you go home, you are owed some time off anyway, I will come by after work and make sure you are alright"

Eddi "Alright, if you're sure"

Sacha "Of course you're no use to us while you are in this state"

Eddi walks the 10 minute walk from the hospital to her flat; when she gets in she gets in the bath, has a nice long hot soak. When she gets out she puts on her pyjamas and chucks all of the drink out and swears to herself that she will never drink again.

The next morning she calls in ill, she has spent the whole morning with her head down the toilet. All she wanted was for Luc to come and hold her and tell her everything would be alright.

She spends the rest of her day curled up on her sofa in her pyjamas watching The Prisoner, remembering the times she and Luc spent together.

She was sick again the next morning but she put that down to the withdrawal of alcohol. When she gets to work she goes straight to the changing room and gets changed, walks through the doors of AAU, they are swamped like usual, Sacha gives her a smile, she smiles back; the first time she has smiled since Luc left.

She gets straight to work, patient after patient, she got the job done. It was her break, and she decided to get some sandwiches and a coffee and head to the roof, she sat right near the edge she kept going through all of the things her and Luc had said from the very first thing he said "don't do it" to the last thing he said "I love you too". Tears started rolling down her cheeks, she wanted Luc to wipe them away with him hands; she loved the feel of his hands on her face. She then started shouting at herself, she had to stop thinking about Luc, if not she would never get over him; she had to face up to the facts that he wasn't coming back.

She got back down to work, and they were still really busy, now Luc had left it was only her, Sacha, Chrissie, Michael when he wasn't in America and a few other nurses, she never bothered to learn their names.

Sacha kept on at Eddi at getting a locum in, when she eventually got time, she rang up HR they said the locum would be in on Monday morning, it was Thursday, they would still have 3 more days of this.

The next 3 days went quite well for Eddi, she hadn't had a drop of booze in a week, it was probably a new record for her, she was still being sick in the mornings but she didn't think anything of it. She was still working overtime, she liked it, she hadn't thought of Luc in days, she tried ringing him a couple of times; he didn't answer, it went straight to voicemail.

Monday morning came round quickly; when she got in she was dreading meeting the new locum, she knew he would never be as good as Luc, no one could be. She got to AAU; Sacha wasn't around so she guessed he was in theatre. She guessed that was him, sitting at the nurses' station, he looked nothing like Luc. She went over to talk to him.

"What's your name then?" Eddi asked

"Why, who are you" he asked her

She then realised that she wasn't in her scrubs.

"Nurse McKee" Eddi stated

"I'm Dr Brown, call me Shane" he said

"Shane, okay" Eddi walked away, to get changed

Sacha then came out of theatre; Eddi walked over to him and asked him about the new locum.

Sacha "I don't like the look of him"

Eddi "Me either, I will keep an eye on him"

The day went by really quickly, the new guy didn't do much, Eddi thinks Sacha is going to put a call in and get a new locum. When Eddi got home, she was sick again, she was then working out that there was only one reason she kept being sick.

She was pregnant with Luc Hemmingway's baby.

Hope you guys like it, please leave your reviews. Laura:)
