After A pit stop at Connie's house, were Cal was instructed to stay in the car, the two doctors arrived at the ED in time for their shift to start. Cal admired Connie's rear as she clambered from the car, muttering a quick thank you before disappearing over towards the ED. She was dressed in a grey pencil skirt with a black blouse and boy did she look hot.

Cal pulled himself from his car and followed in his Boss' footsteps to the ED where he found his brother was already working away along with the likes of Robyn and Lofty. Cal's eyes followed Connie as she made her way to her office, only stopping to grab some paperwork off Tess before she entered her office and fell out of sight.

"You are… ten minutes late" Ethan smiled as he glanced down at his watch.

"And" Cal asked confused.

"So was she… be careful. People are going to start talking" Ethan warned, fully aware of how the nurses caught on to gossip like it was influenza. No one had secrets in the ED and soon enough people were going to find out who shared Cal's bed the night before.

"There is nothing to find out" Cal replied quickly as he moved around to the locker room so he could get changed into his scrubs.

"We know that, but they have brilliant imaginations!" Ethan reasoned.

"Don't worry. As far as Connie is concerned, nothing happened. She said as much anyway. Right I'm going to go and see if I'm needed anywhere" He smiled as he locked up his locker and headed out of the staff room.

"Doctor Knight" A voice called. Cal recognised it immediately. He looked behind him and found the clinical lead with her iPhone glued to her ear. She made a signal for him to walk with her. Ethan raised his eyebrows as he watched his older Brother toddle off after the boss, who was quite clearly engrossed in a conversation with someone on the phone. Cal trailed along behind her as she disappeared out of the department and into the car park.

"So… What's he done now?" Robyn asked sparkly eyed as she slid up beside Ethan who was standing in the middle of the department, not really sure what to make of his brothers fondness for the clinical lead.

"What hasn't he done" He sighed.

She had finally put the phone down, after ten minutes of constant chatter. She had lead him out of the department and across the car park where a taxi was parked up near the benches that the team seemed to spend half their lives sitting on, smoking, eating and even drinking. Cal watched as Connie pulled a ten pound note from her pocket and leant through the window of the taxi to give it to the driver.

"Keep the change" She murmured before moving round to the back of the taxi. Her face broke into a smile as she pulled open the door and held her arm out.

"Dad" She called as she helped the elderly gentleman in the back out.

"Connie Connie Connie, my beautiful baby girl" The man sung merrily as he struggled out of the back. He had his daughter's eyes, and it was clear where her complexion came from him.

"Urm, Mrs Beauchamp?" Cal asked nervously as Connie's Father straightened himself up and linked his arm through his daughters who stood just under a foot higher than her Father whose spine was curving and relied on a walking stick. Connie glanced at Cal crossly for a second before softening.

"Dad, this is Doctor Knight and he is going to look after you today, aren't you doctor Knight?" Connie hissed the words directed at Cal through her teeth whilst managing to keep a smiling face for her Father's sake.

"Urm yeah" The young doctor replied wondering what on earth was going on.

"Dr Knight, this is William Chase, 82, and he has a wheeze on his chest, further complicated by a heart transplant he had 4 years ago… Assess him and put a plan in place. I need to phone the home. I cannot believe they sent a man with dementia in a taxi on his own" Connie huffed as she pulled her phone from her pocket once again as they got William inside the ED.

"I'll be ten minutes ok?" Connie asked unsure as whether to leave the doctor with her Father. Cal nodded and smiled at William.

"I think we'll be fine won't we Mr Chase" Cal asked.

"Don't worry about me Constance, I'm on my best behaviour" Connie's father winked at his daughter who just rolled her eyes and disappeared towards her office.

"This way then Mr Chase" Cal beckoned the man towards a free cubicle.

"It's William, don't bother with the formalities, it's more my Daughters thing. Bit of a bossy boots" William laughed.

"I can agree with you there!" Cal replied as he helped his Boss' father onto the bed.

"I hope she doesn't cause too much hassle for you son, I know what she can get like, hot headed like her Mother you see. Stubborn as an Ox, always has been" William revealed, leaving Cal laughing slightly. He was sure that if Connie found out about her Father talking about her, all hell would break loose.

"Don't you worry Mr Chase, Connie and I have an understanding"

Thank you for reading and reviewing! This is probably one of my favourite fics to write so far! I really enjoy the chemistry between Connie and Cal, and how he just trails about making eyes at her.

Hope you are enjoying! Please keep reviewing, it makes my day! – SKB x
