Leddi Fanfic- Chapter 4

Thank you for keeping with this, hope you liking it. Sorry for the delay, been really busy.

Eddi was pregnant with Luc's baby, how was this possible, well of course it was possible, but why did it happen now, he's gone and she pregnant with his baby. She couldn't get rid of it, she had to keep it, she couldn't get rid of it. She couldn't tell anyone yet either, she could tell Sacha he would listen but it was too early, she had to keep it to herself for now.

She got into work the next morning, she didn't tell anyone; the good news was that that locum had gone, but the bad news is that there was a new one called Max, he looked quite arrogant and up himself nothing like Luc.

Stop it; she thought to herself, she almost went a whole day without thinking about him. She got changed, and sat down at the nurses' station they were not very busy which was very unusual, Sacha and Chrissie were in and so was the new kid, Max, from her first impressions she didn't like him, he looked a bit dodgy, she was going to keep her distance.

AAU was slowly getting busier there had been an accident on the motorway, involving a few cars and a lorry. In fact they were now quite busy, Eddi was going from patient to patient with Sacha, she wishes it was with Luc, they were such a good team together. But she did have to keep ducking out and being sick, she felt and looked terrible. She done her best at avoiding Max but when it was the end of the day, he offered they go out for a drink together at the pub, she said no, she knew that if she had one drink she wouldn't stop again and she really wanted to keep sober for her and the baby.

Max kept pushing, he really wanted to go out for a drink with her, she kept saying no. She got really scared at one point she just ran all the way home.

She ran in the door and locked it shut; she was scared that he would follow her home. She got in and rung Luc, she knew he wouldn't answer but she left him a message saying- "Luc, I really need you to come back, I will forgive you if you tell me why you left in the first place, but please just come back, there is this new locum who is replacing you, he really scared me today and I have something to tell you, I need you Luc, please, I love you" he never replied.

She then rang Sacha and told him what happened.

Eddi "Hi Sacha"

Sacha "Hey, what's the matter you sound upset"

Eddi "You know that new guy Max, he asked me if I wanted to go for a drink and I said no, but then he kept asking me and he started shouting at me but right at the end he pushed me into the wall and started threatening me. I was really scared"

Sacha "Oh, Eddi are you alright?"

Eddi "Yeah just a bit shaken up, I rang Luc again to tell him but he didn't answer, Sach I'm starting to think he is gone for good"

Sacha "Don't get upset, first thing tomorrow when I get in I will have a word with Max, Eddi I'm really sorry but I've got to go"

Eddi "It's okay, I'll be fine"

"Sorry, bye" you could hear the hurt in Sacha's voice, but he knew what he had to do.

He had to ring Luc, he would answer to Sacha wouldn't he?

Sacha was straight on the phone to him, he didn't answer, Sacha was worried, he thought he maybe wouldn't answer to Eddi because he wouldn't know what to say but when he didn't answer to Sacha he thought why didn't he, he thought they were really close friends, so why didn't he answer?

Sacha kept ringing him for the next few days, but gave up after a while. He did speak to Max when he got in the next day but Max denied it all, Sacha knew he was lying because Eddi sounded genuinely upset and she couldn't just make something like that up. He had to do some digging into Max's past.

Eddi didn't really want to go into work today for two reasons; she didn't want to see Max and she felt terrible, she kept being sick.

She knew she would have to tell Sacha soon, if not he would guess, it had now been almost 3 months since Luc had left so she was about the same months pregnant. She would tell Sacha after work.

She kept her distance from Max all day, then when her shift finished she went to find Sacha, but he was in theatre so she waited in the office on AAU for him to finish.

That's when Max came in, he started shouting at her and having a go at her for telling Sacha, she stood up to leave, but he pushed her up against the window, she was really hoping that Sacha would see them or walk in, but the blinds were closed and he was still in theatre. She tried to scream but his hand was over her mouth, she kneed him in the stomach and ran out. She ran all the way home exactly like she did yesterday. She went straight to bed she was really tired.

She woke up in the morning realising she got a call in the middle of the night from Sacha, but he left a voicemail "Hey Eddi, I know it's the middle of the night but there has been a major RTC and we need you, there are 5 people already here, the rest are on their way, there were about 6 cars, 2 lorries and a campervan, Eddi I'm sorry"

She couldn't work out why he was sorry and then it hit her.

Luc Hemmingway, the love of her life, the father of her baby had been involved.

Thankyou for reading, next chapter up soon, Laura:)
