Hey all!

Thank you for your reviews.

Had a hypo at college earlier so apologises if the writing in this chapter seems a bit...off. Still regaining energy but I will try my best.

Cal sat at the table, looking at his hands as he rubbed them together. Charlie brought two cups of coffee to the table and sat opposite Cal.

"Have you heard anything?" Cal asked, even though he knew that Charlie was in the staff room the whole time.

"I'm afraid not Cal. But no news is good news." Charlie smiled. By this time a tearful Robyn walked in.

"Cal..." Robyn couldn't finish her sentence.

"What is it?" Cal asked, sounding slightly panicked.

"It's not fair." Robyn whimpered as she burst into tears. Cal pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on her head. Cal looked over at Charlie as tears fell down his face.

Henrik walked down the stairs into reception, seeing and feeling the atmosphere from the staffs worry for Ethan. Noel and Jack looked up from their desk to look at Henrik walk past, heading into resus.

"Mrs Beauchamp." Henrik called as he entered resus. Connie, Zoe and Lofty looked towards him. "You paged me." Mr Hansen spoke in his usual tone.

"Mr Hansen, we're running out of options. Ethan has been in cardiac arrest for 40 minutes. We can't call it. He's too young." Zoe worried.

"Have you tried any relevant medications?" Henrik asked.

"Yes. We've tried Warfarin, beta blockers, channel blockers, atropine, nothing is working." Zoe panicked.

"What about Epinephrine, adrenaline?" Henrik asked.

"Connie doesn't want to use that. She worries it might do further damages." Zoe answered.

"Not if you use the right amount." Henrik smiled slightly then walked slowly out of resus leaving Zoe standing there confused until she finally thought of it.

"Right. Lofty, can I get one milo gram of Epinephrine." Zoe instructed as Connie raised her head straight up from Ethan's chest.

"What? Zoe. No!" Connie worried. "We don't know what damage it could do."

"Not if we inject the same, small amount every five minutes. It could bring him back." Zoe hoped as she leaned in towards Connie. Connie hesitated as she saw Lofty getting the adrenaline ready.

"Fine one milo gram every five minutes. No more" Connie panted. "Lofty keep eye on the time."

The first five minutes have passed. Zoe walked towards the defibrillator.

"Right charging 120." Zoe spoke then looked at Connie. "Clear." Connie stepped down. Ethan's body jolted for the possible tenth time. Zoe and Connie stared at the ECG still with a flatline. Connie resumed back to chest compressions.

"Come on Ethan. Don't do this. Don't do this." Connie whispered. Zoe looked up from Ethan to Connie with a sad face as she heard her then looked back down at Ethan. "Cal needs you. Come on." Connie stepped down and without thinking she clenched her fist and slammed it into Ethan's chest.

"Connie!" Zoe almost shouted. Connie stepped away, leaning forward whilst putting her hands to her knees looking down. Was this the end?

"Time of death: 15:04." Zoe spoke sadly, looking down at an exhausted Connie. "I'll go tell Cal." Zoe then walked out of resus but before she walked to the staff room, she closed her eyes and took a very deep breath, holding back a tear then opened her eyes and continued to walk.

She walked into the staff room where Cal immediately stood up.

"Well? How is he?" Cal asked, sounding a little hopeful. Zoe didn't answer. "Zoe?" Cal's hope left. Zoe was about too open her mouth to tell Cal that his brother was dead.

"He's stable but critical." A voice came from the door. Zoe turned around in shock as Cal and Charlie looked at Connie.

"Oh thank you, thank you, thank you." Cal whispered as he looked up. "Can I go see him?" Cal asked. Connie nodded and Cal immediately left the staff room. Zoe was speechless.

"How?" Zoe asked, completely gobsmacked and relieved.

"His heart started working as soon you left. It was slow but we have given him one milo gram of atropine to speed it up. We just need to do a five minute observations for the next 24 hours." Connie spoke quietly.

"Well done, well done Connie." Zoe smiled. Connie didn't say anything, she just smiled lightly and left to go get cleaned up.

Cal walked to the resus doors and looked through them. Looking at Ethan no longer laying flat with an oxygen mask on, sleeping. Cal hesitated, he didn't want to disturb his weak brother but he also wanted to hold him.

"You don't have to see him now." Charlie walked up next to Cal. "You can see him when he's a bit more awake."

"No, no I need to do this now." Cal breathed deeply. "I might not get another chance." Charlie smiled and left Cal to be alone with Ethan. Cal still stood outside the doors, took a deep breath then walked slowly into resus. Thinking if he should tell Ethan the truth of wait.

Sorry if all the medication is wrong, studying for this story was a little difficult. Never done so much Homework on a story anyway. Next chapter will probably be uploaded on Saturday since it's my night off, yay! See you then : )
