The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 28

She had known something was wrong for weeks before she'd collapsed. She just didn't want to admit it, she was in an unhappy marriage, her mother had just died from the disease and she'd caught Sean in bed with another woman. She knew she had to leave him but he'd begged her to stay and it was that day she found out she was pregnant with her now 12-year-old and on followed her son Lucas, and a few years later she'd met a man who she went on to have a baby boy with.

"Ready?" Adam asked, he was taking her and staying while she had the treatment and then the kids were coming over. They were far from repairing their relationship but it was nice to know that she could turn to her ex if, and when, she needed to.

"Sure " Was the confident reply Jessica gave as she looked at him and realized she wasn't feeling confident. Adam caught the look and grabbed her.

"Hey" He told her gently lowering her back on to the couch as she tried to catch her breath and was relieved when Adam walked in to the living room with a glass of water.

"I'm fine " She tried to tell him, putting the glass down on the table in front of her.

"Um?" Adam said and Jessica knew he didn't believe her, so instead he tucked a strand of hair behind her ears as she slowly raised herself from the couch.

She watched Adam put his shoes on and then he slipped an arm around her and they walked out Adam locking the door.

The drive to the hospital was quiet with just the radio playing,.He pulled in to the hospital car park and turned off the engine before he placed his hand on Jessica's knee comfortingly.

They walked hand in hand to the hospital as Jessica rested her chin on his shoulder. Heading for the lifts they waited for the lift, stepping inside they were stopped by Tom, wishing her good luck.

Walking on to the ward where the treatment was to be held Jessica was greeted by the nurse that would stay with her as well as sat down in a chair as the nurse talked her through what would happen. She'd previously been healthy, apart from a fall down the stairs when she was pregnant.

They'd set up a room for her knowing that she worked in the hospital and that way she would avoid the gossip when she left.

The nurse couldn't find a vein in her arm and called another nurse over to help her and still they struggled to find a vein to insert the needle as she tensed up, making it harder for the nurses.

"Try and keep still " The nurse told her as she put the needle in.

"OK" Was the response of the frightened nurse.

"Shh" Adam comforted as she sat in a chair, an IV in her arm that was giving her drugs, and a blanket over her to keep her warm. Adam gently rubbed her arms as he leaned over her kissing her head.

Her next session was in a month and she'd have to repeat what she'd done today something she wasn't looking forward to. They walked out of the ward and Jessica found herself looking at the other patients. Some were at later stages than her and some were starting their treatment just like her.


After the treatment Jessica was told that she shouldn't be alone in case anything happened to her. The treatment had drained her; she was exhausted.

"Here " Adam told her as Linda and Lenny joined them Linda was bubbling with excitement and Jessica was curious but knew she had to wait to be told what it was.

"Lenny has asked me out " Linda smiled, happy. She'd liked Lenny when she first arrived at Holby, taking over Tess' s job, but she soon handed it back to her.

"OK" Jessica said, taking a sip of her water, but she immediately threw it back up as Adam softly rubbed her back. Zoe walked along the corridor files in her arms.

After resting in cubicles for a while alone as Adam had patients other than her she brought her knees up to her chest and curled up small and tried to sleep but lay in the bed her arm hurting in pain.

A few hours later Adam walked back in to the cubicle, smiling to himself as he watched her sleep. He didn't want to wake her but she started to scream. Adam sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her hair. "How are you feeling?" He asked, concerned about her.

"I'm fine " She whispered.

"Good " He replied stroking her cheek, as she curled her body around his, his body offering her comfort.


Next prompt: Sam is stunned as Tom hits her in full view of their colleagues. Prompted by Tam Jaspie.
