You and Me (Lee Mead Cover)
Emily gasped, there was no way that was possible. She and Ethan had been very careful, sure they had discussed it but had decided to wait. Still, this couldn't possibly be happening. She heard a loud wail coming from the other room and hurried over to see her tiny son, his head bleeding where he had fallen over. 'What happened baby?' She asked lifting him into her arms.
'Fell over' Tommy cried.
'Alright sweetheart, let me get something to clean it with and then I think we should go and visit daddy and Uncle Cal, if you are lucky Auntie Lauren might be there and we can go and have some lunch' Emily exclaimed as she took her son into the kitchen and sat him on the counter. She cleaned his head gently and then grabbed her bag. She sat him in the car and drove to the hospital. As she pulled up outside she saw Lauren heading towards the entrance. 'Lauren!' She called as she rushed over carrying her son.
'Hello, how are you?' Lauren smiled.
'We're good, Tommy just had a small accident so I thought I might ask our husbands to check him over a bit, make sure he's okay' Emily explained.
'Oh dear, Poor Tommy, are you alright scamp?' She asked the little boy. Tommy nodded, his eyes still filling with tears.
'I tell you what, if you are really brave, I'll buy you an ice cream later, how about that, does that sound like a good idea?' Lauren asked Tommy as she lifted him into her arms. 'Come on then let's go find daddy and Uncle Cal' Lauren exclaimed tickling her nephew.
Emily followed them into the main reception where Cal and Ethan were stood talking at reception, they seemed to be arguing over some patient when she interrupted. 'Ae you alright love, you look a bit upset?' Ethan asked kissing her lips gently.
'Tommy had a little fall at home and I think he might need some stitches' Emily explained as Lauren appeared with Thomas.
'Hello babe' Cal whispered kissing his wife.
'Alright let me see' Ethan spoke as he took his son. He removed the cotton pad Emily had taped in place and sat his son on the reception desk. He peeled the dressing off and carefully examined the head injury. 'Hmm looks sore, I think we need a special kind of medicine for this, and some butterfly stitches' Ethan declared leading his family into the staff room.
'Do you want me to do it?' Cal asked.
'Could you, then I can set about finding some of that special medicine' Ethan said as he disappeared out of the room. Cal pulled on some gloves and grabbed the first aid kit. 'Auntie Lauren can be my nurse' he stated handing her some gloves.
Lauren smiled. 'I'll do my best, Thomas you will have to tell me if I am doing a good job' Lauren chuckled.
'Right then Mrs Knight, I need you to take an antiseptic swab and gently wipe Master Thomas's head, there we go, now pass me some tweezers and some steri strip, I'm just going to stick these over your head' Cal explained.
Tommy whimpered as his uncle touched his head. 'No this isn't going to work, I'll be back in a second' Cal murmured before leaving. He returned with a tray of equipment. Ethan wandered in behind him.
'What going on?' Tommy asked, his voice thick with fear.
'It's alright mate, you just hurt your head a bit more than Daddy thought so Uncle Cal is going to use a special glue to fix it, don't worry it won't hurt, it might feel a bit achy but it will be okay' Ethan assured his frightened young son.
'Okay buddy. Just keep nice and still for me' Cal instructed as he began to apply the skin glue. Within a few minutes and hardly a sound from Thomas, his head was fixed and he was free to go to lunch and claim his ice cream from Lauren. Ethan handed him a small bag. 'Here you go, I brought you some thing to make you feel better' he said. Thomas opened the bag to find a tiny remote control dalek toy, the same one he had been wanting for months.
'Thanks Daddy' Thomas shouted as he launched himself at his dad. Ethan smiled.
'Not a problem, just remember don't let the daleks see your cyberman pyjamas, we don't want them to accidentally exterminate you now do we?' Ethan exclaimed lifting his son into his arms.
They arrived at the little cafe and sat down, after ordering their food Lauren spoke. 'I have a little announcement'
'Me too' Emily declared, feeling slightly nervous.
'I'm pregnant' Lauren announced, a smile etched clearly on her face.
'Oh congratulations!' Emily cried hugging her and then kissing Cal's cheek. Her bother in law was in a state of shock, he couldn't believe it.
'I'm going to be a dad, I'm going to be a dad' Cal spoke his voice growing louder and louder. 'I'm going to be a daddy!' He shouted excitedly hugging his wife.
'So what was you announcement?' Lauren asked as the excitement died down.
'Umm, well, I-I'm pregnant too' she exclaimed her voice shaking nervously.
'Oh my goodness! That's amazing, I'm going to be a daddy again!' Ethan chuckled.
The family sat down to try and digest the news. After their scans it turned out Emily was due two days after Lauren was and so they were able to support each other as they both went through their pregnancies.
