A/N - I just wanna thank everyone who has reviewed this fanfic. I love all the feedback I've been getting. Thank you to sweeet-as-honey for the idea for Cal and Ethan. This update isn't going to be a long one. I just owe everyone an update x
Connie still wasn't aware of Amelia's pregnancy. Amelia had been lucky and she hadn't had morning sickness so far. Layla had been amazing to look after and everyone in the ED doted on the little girl.
That morning, Amelia was heading into town before she went into work. Layla stayed in the ED creche while Amelia did her shifts. "Layla, come on baby. Time to wake up," Amelia whispered to her sleeping daughter.
Layla opened her eyes and a smile appeared on her face. "Hi mummy," Layla whispered. Amelia grinned and kissed Layla's head. "Can me goes with you?" Layla asked. Amelia nodded.
"You are baby girl."
Layla giggled and as Amelia took the duvet off the little girl, Layla wrapped her arms around Amelia's neck. "I ove you mummy."
Amelia's heart welled with love. "I love you too baby girl."
Once Layla was dressed, Amelia got her coat and shoes on before leaving the house. "Can me have toys?" Layla asked. Amelia smiled and nodded.
"Course you can baby."
While in town, Amelia took Layla to Toys R Us. "Wow mummy!" Layla squealed. Amelia smiled at Layla's enthusiasm. They left Toys R Us after Amelia spent nearly £100 on toys for Layla.
"Layla!"
Amelia turned to see a man and woman walking towards them. "Who are you?" Amelia asked.
The woman looked up. "We're the kids parents. We need her to come back home."
Amelia scoffed and puck Layla up. "No chance. She's my daughter and I know exactly what you did to her. There's no way in hell you'll get her," Amelia spat. Layla hid her head in Amelia's neck.
"Layla, its daddy here darling. Do you want to come back home to Rocko?"
Layla shook her head and she started crying. "He bited me," Layla cried. Amelia was trying to not cry. She got her phone and text Cal.
I need you! Toys R Us! X - Amelia.
Amelia kept Layla away from the couple who's names were Andrea and Nathan.
Cal turned up and saw Amelia. "What's wrong?" Cal asked. Layla looked up and put her arms out for Cal.
Amelia looked at Cal and she immediatley felt safe. "These people, they're the ones who abused Layla, they want her back," Amelia said. Cal looked over at them.
"You can't have her alright? She's ours," Cal said. Andrea scoffed and she made a move to try and take Layla from Cal. Layla started crying again. Cal tried to soothe her. Andrea smirked at Layla.
"They don't want you really Layla. No one wants you," Andrea spat. Layla's lips quivered and she hid her head again. "Yeah that's right! No one wants a little baby who wets herself."
Amelia walked over to Andrea and slapped her. "Stay away from my child! She is more wanted than what you ever were. In fact, why don't you go and disappear. Take that idiot with you too," Amelia said. She turned and walked off with Cal.
The ED Car Park.
"Thanks for coming so quick. I was scared they would take her," Amelia said. Cal smiled and looked at Layla who had fallen asleep.
"I'm glad you called."
Amelia leant over and kissed him. "I cannot wait to have your baby," Amelia said. Cal smiled and kissed her again.
"I can't wait for you to have my baby either," Cal whispered. Amelia laughed just as Layla started whimpering. "We should head inside before your mum hunts me down," Cal joked.
Amelia rolled her eyes but agreed. Cal got a sleeping Layla from the car while Amelia got her bag. They walked into the ED and Robyn came over to them. "You're late aren't you?" Robyn asked.
"Amelia nodded. "Yeah, problems in town," Amelia mumbled. Robyn frowned but before she could ask what was wrong, Lily came over.
"You're late Amelia. I don't think Mrs Beauchamp will accept you being late. Even if you are her daughter," Lily said. Amelia rolled her eyes and she took Layla from Cal before walking off.
With Connie.
Connie sat in her office sorting out the paperwork. Her office door knocked and she looked up to see Amelia. "What's wrong?" Connie asked.
Amelia sighed and sat down. "I was in town with Layla and we bumped into the people who abused her before I got her back. They told Layla that no one wants her and that she was a little baby who wet herself. I'm scared now that she's going to think no one wants her," Amelia said. She was crying.
Connie came over and sat with her. "Look, Layla knows who loves her and she knows who doesn't. I'm sure that Layla will be fine," Connie said. Amelia shook her head.
"She looked upset and scared though. This is all my fault! I'm the one who abandoned her! I'm the one who left her to be abused, I'm the one who got her taken into care in the first place," Amelia said. She broke down and Connie held her.
"Its going to be fine Amelia. I promise you. Grace is coming this weekend and we're all going to have an amazing time," Connie said.
Amelia smiled slightly although she was still tearing herself apart. "I shouldn't have abandoned her two and a half years ago. If I didn't then none of this would be happening!"
Connie tried to calm Amelia down but it wasn't working. "Amelia! Calm down now!" Connie yelled. Amelia stopped crying and looked up. "Layla is where she belongs now. You made a mistake but you've made it right! That's what Layla will remember growing up," Connie said.
With Cal & Ethan.
Cal was feeling on top of the world. He had been too cheerful which caused Ethan to be concerned. After Ethan had enough of Cal's whistling he walked over to him. "What's up with you? I've never seen you so happy before," Ethan commented.
Cal looked up and grinned. "I'll tell you but don't you tell Amelia or anyone I've told you," Cal said. Ethan nodded and Cal's face had another grin. "Amelia and I are having a baby!" Cal said.
Ethan was shocked for a moment but regained his composure when Cal nudged him. "A baby?" Ethan asked. Cal nodded.
"Yes a baby, a small pooping, crying thing," Cal said. Ethan rolled his eyes. "Its great isn't it?"
Ethan smiled and nodded. He was happy for Cal finally settling down with a girl he truly loved and someone who loved him. "Congratulations Cal."
Ethan went on his rounds and he bumped into Amelia. "I believe congratulations are in order," Ethan said. Amelia looked up and frowned.
"What?"
Ethan grinned. "Cal told me about the baby," Ethan told her. Amelia groaned.
"Did he now?" Amelia asked. Ethan nodded and Amelia had a frown on her face. "Excuse me."
With Amelia.
Amelia went looking for Cal. "Dr Knight, could I talk to you?" Amelia asked. Cal looked up at Amelia and gulped.
"I'll be right back."
Amelia took Cal into the locker room and she turned to him. "I've just had Ethan congratulating me on the baby, care to share?" Amelia asked.
Cal groaned and looked at Amelia. "I had to tell someone. Its driving me mad not being able to tell everyone there's going to be a mini-me running round," Cal said. Amelia smiled slightly.
"We agreed to not tell anyone until I'd told my mum. She's the hardest one we have to tell," Amelia told him. Cal walked over to her and placed his hands on her waist.
"I'm sorry baby."
Amelia groaned and kissed him. "You're forgiven," Amelia mumbled. Cal smirked and started kissing her again. "Back to work Dr Knight," Amelia said. Cal groaned but he kissed her once more before leaving.
A Few Hours Later.
Amelia's shift had ended so she went to the ED creche to get Layla. "Layla's had a bit of an accident today," the worker said. Amelia sighed but she nodded. The worker went to get Layla.
"Hi my baby girl."
Layla held out her arms for Amelia. "Let's go home angel," Amelia said.
Amelia took Layla home and ran her a hot bath. Layla had been quiet all evening which concerned Amelia. "Do you want some biscuits?" Amelia asked. Layla nodded so when Amelia took Layla from the bath, she dried her off and got her changed into warm pyjamas and sat her on the sofa.
Connie returned home and smiled at the sight in the living room. Amelia was lying on the sofa with a sleeping Layla cuddled up together. "Amelia, put her to bed," Connie whispered. Amelia smiled and she lifted Layla up.
"I'm going to go to bed too. I'm tired," Amelia mumbled. Connie smiled and she kissed Amelia's head before she walked upstairs.
With Connie.
Connie had just eaten her Chinese and just as she was about to put the rubbish in the bin, she saw something in there that made her frown. She took out the box and saw the pregnancy test. She took it out of the box and saw the word on it
POSITIVE.
Amelia was pregnant.
A/N - Well, Connie now knows Amelia is pregnant. How will she react to not being told? Will she confront Amelia about it?
