Chapter Twenty Six - The wedding: No stronger bond than brotherhood.
Cal burst through the ED doors with Zoe, Max and Lofty following closely behind.
"Ah, Doctor Knight" Dylan spoke as he spotted Cal making his way towards him.
"How is he?" Cal spoke cutting him off, Dylan looked at him hands on hips and eyebrows raised, "just tell me how it is Dylan don't sugarcoat anything just please" he pleaded desperately.
"Oh well, he-he's fine actually, I don't know what you've heard but-" Dylan was cut off again.
"Oh thank God" Cal sighed with relief as he threw his arms around Dylan who stayed in the same position with his hands on his hips.
"Yes well, he's been quite a help around the ED, more so in cubicles, with me and Connie being the only two not able to get time off for the wedding, we are in dire need of doctors" Dylan explained as Cal pulled away from him.
"You've got him working?" Zoe asked stunned.
"Well it's not like he's performing a Pericardiocentesis or anything, but yes he's off giving advice and physical examinations, he was the one who suggested it actually seeing how much we were struggling" Dylan explained bluntly.
"What two hours after he's been drugged?" Lofty asked in shock.
"Yes well he slept most of it off in the ambulance on the ride here and woke in a cubicle about ten minutes after he came in, about an hour or so ago, his obs were fine and he personally said he was fine and so I had no reason to turn down the offer for help which was much needed. Plus Charlie told me to keep him in the ED for some reason and this was the only way I could think how. To be honest I think he feels better than I do I wouldn't mind a bit of whatever he had" he replied.
"Unbelievable" Cal shook his head at Dylan and burst through the door to cubicles.
"What?" Dylan asked oblivious as he followed.
They walked in to find Ethan stood with his scrubs on at the side of a patient's bed talking to her as he held her notes.
"He's got his scrubs on" Max observed.
"Well we couldn't have him treating patients in his wedding suit" Dylan shrugged, "where's the girl and the young boy?" He asked Zoe who shook her head warning him off.
They all slowly made their way to the cubicle Ethan worked in.
"Right I'm pretty sure it's just a virus which a few tables are bound to sort out, I'll write you a prescription and you should be virus free within the week" he smiled as he wrote in her notes.
"Oh Doctor, it looks like we've got an audience" his patient pointed outside her cubicle.
Ethan turned to find Cal, Zoe, Max, Lofty and Dylan stood warily watching him work.
"Oh will you excuse me a second?" He asked as he put down her notes and walked up to them with a smile on his face. He looked over Cal's shoulder and then back to Cal who looked at him in dread, "where is she?" He asked full of hope, Cal shook his head slowly, "where's Sophia?" He demanded.
"We couldn't find her Eth" Cal whispered softly.
"What?! Charlie told to you to come once you've found her and you've come and you haven't found her?" Ethan yelled as he looked up at his older brother. He paused for a moment as he thought before he took off his stethoscope and slammed it down hard on the counter, "useless" he muttered under his breath as he hurried to the door.
"Ethan where are you going?!" Cal sighed angrily.
"To find my wife!" He called back as he burst through the door.
"Oh yeah? And what are you going to do that I didn't?" Cal called as he chased after him, bursting through the same door.
Ethan stopped to a halt in reception and spun on his heals to face his brother "you know what I wouldn't do that you did?" He spat out.
"What?" Cal yelled back.
"Give up!" Ethan roared as he felt tears of anger building up in his eyes, "I would never give on her Caleb and you did" he shouted as he pointed at him.
"Ethan I came to see if you were okay, you're my priority not her, I didn't know if you were going to wake up again or not! God if I knew you were here playing Doctor I wouldn't have bothered coming!" Cal shouted back.
"If anything has happened to her I swear to God" he shook his head in dread.
"Well if you didn't decide to take a drink off a known psychopath none of this would have happened!" Cal announced, "seriously Ethan, what possessed you to drink that stuff?" He shout angrily.
"...He said it makes you forget about the bad stuff for a while" he mumbled quietly.
"What?" Cal laughed, "and what bad stuff have you got to forget about?" He spoke folding his arms awaiting the answer his younger brother would come out with.
"I don't know, maybe the fact my parents weren't there for my wedding day!" Ethan spat out.
"So? They're not going to be there for mine either what are you making such a big deal out of it for?" Cal shrugged.
"Like you're ever getting married Caleb are you actually that delusional? The longest girl you've ever held down only stayed with you for your money, THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE! Cal your love life is pathetic and no, having sex with a girl or sticking your tongue down her throat whenever you wish doesn't mean she loves you, it means she must be just as desperate as you are" Ethan spat out.
"My love life is pathetic?! You've been with one girl your entire life, a few months ago you had to come to me for tips on how to kiss a girl because you were too scared to kiss Honey-" he was cut off.
"What?" Honey called as she had walked through the ED doors with Rita and Robyn catching the end of Cal's rant.
Ethan looked back at Honey before he turned back to Cal, "I'm going to find my wife" he spoke sternly before he head out the door, brushing passed Honey as he made his way.
"Jesus he got better quick!" Rita spoke in amazement as she watched him storm away, "was he just wearing scrubs?" Robyn asked confused.
Cal sighed deeply and followed Ethan out the ED doors, "where are you going?" Zoe called after him.
"I can't leave him to look for her on his own" Cal called back as he disappeared through the doors.
"I swear they were just at each other's throats a second ago" Zoe shook her head as Rita made her way towards her.
"There's no stronger bond than brotherhood" Rita replied.
