Back with another chapter. I know you all crave for drama but trust me, it will all come in good time :)
"Bottles."
"One, two and three. Check." Ethan called out.
"Wipes."
"Check."
"Pampers."
"All ten present." Ethan joked, making me roll my eyes slightly and smile.
"Then we're good to go." I said, strapping Jade into her car seat.
Ethan grabbed the car keys from the bowl and opened the front door. "I think she needs another change. I'll be waiting." he smiled, leaving me with a crying Jade.
I sighed and unstrapped Jade from her car seat. "I guess I should change you. Your daddy seems to be the domestic one, huh?" I asked, rubbing her back as she cried.
I quickly changed her and had her strapped back into her seat before strapping her in the car. I went back to the front door and grabbed my bag and phone before shutting it behind me and getting in the back with Jade.
"We better not be late." I mumbled, putting my seatbelt on.
"Don't worry." Ethan said, messing about with his new SatNav. "We'll be there at the church in roughly fifteen minutes."
"Okay." I replied, answering a call from my mother.
...
-Cal's POV-
"Right, I'm off." I said to Robyn and Noel.
"Have Ethan and Lily chosen Jade's godparents yet?" Robyn asked, handing me a gift bag.
I nodded. "Meet you guys there in twenty." I said, backing out slowly watching Robyn's eyes glisten with curiosity.
"Is it me?" she asked.
I shrugged and smirked before leaving. I quickly got in my car and drove to my dad's to pick him up.
He got in the car and held up four gift bags. "Couldn't resist. Jade's got two presents and the other two are for Ethan and Lily."
I rolled my eyes but smiled. "Sure, shower them with gifts. When was the last time we saw each other, anyway?"
He hit my on the shoulder, chuckling. "Your birthday's coming up. 34, huh? Might get you a gift then."
"Might?"
"You have ways of annoying me, Son." Dad chuckled.
I turned to face him briefly. "It feels nice to get along again."
"Yes, it is nice. I don't want what happened between your mother and I to ruin my relationship with you boys."
"It's in the past." I gulped slightly.
I groaned and gently hit the steering wheel when we were caught in some traffic. "We're not going to make it, are we?"
"Don't think anyone is by the looks of it." I replied, trying to get a good look at what was happening.
We heard sirens behind us and I manoeuvred my car to let Iain and Dixie through, giving them a cheeky wave.
"You know them?" Dad asked.
I turned to face him. "I work with them. They're paramedics."
"Ah."
I sighed, drumming my fingers against the wheel. "Perhaps I should help. I'm a doctor; they're most likely want to get an opinion."
"Help away." Dad consented.
I got out of the car and jogged up to the police 'do not cross' line. "Hi, I'm Dr. Caleb Knight, is there anything I can do to help?"
The policewoman sighed, looking around. "Uh... you have any ID?" she asked. Must have been a first timer.
"Yeah sure." I said, digging into my black jeans back pocket. I grabbed my ID card and showed it to her.
"Fair enough." she mumbled, letting me through.
I jogged up to Iain who started gently pushing me back away from the cars involved. "Sorry Cal, can't let you take this one."
"Why not?" I laughed lightly before stopping when I heard a cry. A baby's cry. A familiar cry.
I took a second glance at the one of the cars involved. My heart stopped.
"Is-Is that Lily's car?" I whispered.
Dixie came over with Jade strapped in her car seat. "Cal..." she breathed out.
I immediately took my niece from her and unstrapped her before pressing her against my chest to shush her as Dixie went on to explain what happened.
"Are they...?" My voice broke as I willed myself to stay strong for Jade.
"Lily's awake and responsive. She just has a broken wrist and some bruising. Ethan's unconscious, he may have a concussion but he's okay."
I breathed out a sigh of relief as Lily was wheeled into an ambulance by another crew. "Lily!" I called out, heading towards her.
She handed me her phone and bag before kissing Jade's head. "Look after her. And call my mum."
I nodded, accepting her hug as I rushed towards my father who stood at the side of the same police woman who let me in. As I got closer I could hear him plead with the woman.
"Let me in, I want to know what's taking my son so-" he stopped when he saw I had Jade in my arms. "Is that-"
"Jade, yes. Ethan and Lily are okay. They were clipped by a car whose driver had an heart attack."
Dad sighed, rubbing his face. "Well, she's obviously not settling down with you carrying her like that. Hand her over here."
I gave Jade to my father and retrieved her car seat from Iain who said he would meet us at Holby.
"I'll drive. You stay at the back with Jade and check if she wants a feed."
"I-I don't know how-"
"Caleb. Your brother needs you to look after his daughter for him. Can you do that?"
I stared at Jade who looked up at my dad with curious eyes. "I can." I whispered hoarsely.
Here's the drama ;)
