Extreme Takeover, Holby Edition

Their parents ran the hospital during their life, and now that they're older, it's their turn.

Pairings are Jac/Joseph, Maddy/Linden, Connie/Sam, Diane/Ric and Chrissie/Olly.

Erin in the hospital...

'Jay went back to Erin's to pick up some stuff, and found her passed out in the living room, an empty bottle of vodka beside her. He thinks she has alcohol poisoning,' she said hurriedly.

'We'll have to get down there,' said Linden. 'You coming Fin?'

'Yup,' replied Fin, turning to Cassie. 'Is it okay if I go and leave you here?'

'Of course it is sweetheart,' said Cassie, kissing his cheek. 'Go and look after Erin.'

Linden, Maddy and Finlay sprinted to the car, Fin jumping into the driving seat and speeding away.

'I hope she's okay,' said Maddy in deep concern.

'She will be sweetheart,' said Linden softly, squeezing her hand. 'She's just going through a rough time with Jay. We'll get her the help she needs, I promise.'

'I'm going to kill him,' growled Fin. 'It's his globetrotting that made Erin so introverted, she stopped going out, she stopped drinking with her friends and started drinking alone. And that's what led to this! She knew her limits before, and even though she drank too much, she knew when to stop. But he let her down, it's his fault she's like that.'

'Chill out Fin,' said Linden sternly. 'Our only priority at this moment in time should be Erin. We can be angry at Jay when Erin's better.'

'Your dad's right Fin,' said Maddy. 'We can play the blame game later, when we know she's okay.'

Carrying on breaking the speed limit, Fin got everyone to the hospital in one piece.

As they sprinted into the ED, they were met by a woman in a suit.

'Helena, what's going on here?' asked Fin to the woman.

The woman, Helena Harper was the first child of Harry Harper and Ellen Zitek. She had blonde hair and brown eyes, and was the same age as Fin.

'I couldn't believe it when I saw the paramedics come in with her,' said Helena softly. 'My registrar is pumping her stomach as we speak, and we'll see how she's doing. We're giving her IV fluids for her dehydration, hopefully there won't be any more problems.'

'Helena, tell us honestly,' said Linden. 'Is she going to be okay?'

'There's no way I could say at this point. Her case is severe, but it's not the worst I've seen. Hopefully, the fluids and the stomach pumping will stabilise her, but I honestly cannot put a definite prognosis until after we've rehydrated her.'

'Oh God,' said Maddy emotionally. 'Did Jay come in with her?'

'Yeah, he refused to leave resus,' replied Helena. 'We had to get security to take him out for a while. He's in the coffee shop, cooling off.'

'Can we see her now?' asked Maddy.

Seeing her registrar leave resus, Helena said, 'It looks like Mr Winters is done, so feel free.'

'Thank you,' said Linden, leading Maddy and Fin into resus, where an unconscious Erin lay before them.

Losing all self-control, Maddy ran to Erin's bedside and held her close.

'My poor baby,' she said, sobbing. 'My little girl. But you're not my little girl anymore. You're turning into me. We're gonna stop that Erin, we're going to get you help. We'll help you turn your life around.'

Taking the chair beside Maddy, Linden said, 'Your mum's right Erin. Were going to help you. We promise.'

Standing at the side of the bed opposite to his parents, Fin held Erin's hand and said, 'I'm sorry I didn't help you little sis, everything's going to change now, I promise.'

As they simply sat and watched Erin, saying a few things here and there, Jay rushed in and shouted, 'ERIN!'

Sitting by her side, his voice softening, he said, 'It's all my fault. Everything I've put you through led to this moment. I never deserved your love, because I'm a worthless maverick who runs from everything.'
