My 2nd story! Now I have started writing, new ideas keep coming to me and even though I don't think they are very good, someone might enjoy them. I really should be doing science revision, but you know... this wouldn't leave my head.

Please R&R xx

"This is Jac Naylor, involved in a RTC, BP 120 over 80, 8 months pregnant and the baby has been in a lot of distress as we were travelling here and we were also worried about the mother as she seems to be distressed as well," Dixie reported as the wheeled the trolley into the already full ED for the changeover. She relayed the needed information to the members of staff who would be assisting on this case; Dr. Hanna, Tom, Fletch and Sam. Zoe nodded as smiled sadly at the members of staff who were gathered around Jac as she was, anticipating what they were to do next.

Jac moved about restlessly on the trolley so they couldn't move her onto a bed just yet and Sam nervously watched from the side, worried for her friend who she had know since they were very young. They had both grown up in care homes, being shipped about all over the place, but they never lost contact and were still great friends, which was a privilege to both as they each had someone who understood them. Sam thought back to the day they had meet and how she had never realised how important the new kid would be to her.

She blinked back the tears that were in danger over starting to fall, something which didn't go un-noticed by Zoe, who walked over to Sam to have a quiet word.

"Sam, you know you don't have to be part of this case. I know how close you too are and you would be very emotional attached which could affect your work, putting both Jac's life and you job in danger, neither of which I would want to happen. Us 3 will be okay, of course I don't mind if you want to visit on your break and I can get Tom to update you on any progress or complications."

Sam just nodded; worried that if she spoke she would risk breaking into a waterfall of tears that she wouldn't be able to control. She went to stand next to Jac and their eyes meet briefly. Something flickered through Jac's eyes which Sam saw as fear. She saw he tears well up in her eyes and knew that she was going to have to calm her down. "Jac," she started "You need to calm down for us. We aren't going to be able to help your the baby unless we can move you and begin to assess your injuries. Do you understand?" She finished and looked at Jac for some sort of response, who nodded and slowly stopped resisting to the mask being forced against her face and then soon stopped fidgeting.

The team moved her over to the bed and then removed the spinal board from under her. They quickly set up the machines and inserted a drip into her arm.

"I want her fluids kept up and her to be constantly monitored. Get her booked in for an MRI and CT as soon as you can and in the meantime I want an ultrasound. If you can't get her in for those scans within an hour then request her as an emergency patient. Also I want someone to find her file and any notes she has on anything before we give her anything and someone needs to ring her next of kin. Thank-you." Zoe then left the room with Sam who followed Zoe all the way to her office.

"Zoe, I'm actually Jac's next of kin. She didn't have anyone else at the time and hasn't been able to change it yet. However I do think it best if staff on other wards were made clear of the situation and if I got Jonny down here, with her permission, of course." Zoe had now turned to look at her and sympathy was written on her face.

"Yeah, I'm sure Jonny would like to be down here with her, but make sure you ask her first because she may want someone else down here with her... I'm not entirely sure where Jonny and Jac's relationship stands at the moment."

Sam nodded and once Zoe had closed the door to her office she leant against the wall and let out a weary sigh. One full of pain and sadness as well as worry. She went back to see Jac, who was now alone apart from Robyn who was stood having a one way conversation to Jac, even though her oxygen mask was no longer on. Sam smiled, but it was only small. She walked to Jac's side and touched her hand.

"Hey, you alright?" She asked, still slightly worried at how low her BP seemed to be.

"Yes, I'm absolutely great, thanks Sam," she joked sarcastically.

"Well you gave me a scare, what do you expect me to ask? And also before I forget I was wondering if you would like Jonny down here... or maybe Sacha?" She enquired carefully as she knew she was treading on soft ice.

Jac rolled her eyes and looked away before shrugging, which could either be taken as a yes or a no, something no-one around here was sure of apart from Sam. "I'll go tell them and they can make their way down when they're on the breaks, okay?"

Jac nodded and smiled a little, as did Sam in response before thanking Robyn and leaving to make her way up to Darwin and AAU in turn.

She had taken her time to get up to AAU, as she was totally unsure of how she was supposed to tell Sacha that his friend was down in the ED with critical conditions, a distressed baby and she didn't seem to know any of it.

She scanned her card which allowed her to open the door and walked into to find nurses, doctors and consultants rushing about the ward quickly so they could attend to the many patients that had appeared on the ward. She spotted Sacha on the other side talking to an elderly woman.

She walked over and waited just a small distance from the patient, as to no distract Sacha from what was clearly an important conversation as seconds later the patient broke down into tears and then had to be comforted by a nurse who took out a tissue for her to dry her eyes with and who would be an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Sacha turned to walk away and almost bumped into Sam as she was stood in his direct pathway to another patient and he had been busy looking through the file and making a decision about what the scans had shown them.

"Oh, hey Sam, what brings you up to the crazy world that is AAU." Sacha and Sam both knew each other fairly well as they were both very good friends with Jac so had been involved with many things together like going out for drinks with Jac, and sometimes Jonny, depending on how their relationship was going. He was smiling, but when he saw how serious Sam's face was he frowned.

"What... what happened?" He spoke quickly, clearly worried

"It'... it's about Jac... can we talk in the office?" She found herself getting louder and louder, the noise of AAU drowning out her voice and she only wanted to say this once. Sacha nodded and lead the way, now even more worried about what had happened to his heavily pregnant friend.

Thank-you for reading, I do have some idea with where I am going with this, but any ideas and I would be very grateful... please review so I can improve xx
