Thank you to Tam Jaspie who listened to my ideas for this chapter and the next two as this will be a 3 chapter story.


The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 40.

"Are you alright?" Adam asked, sitting up in bed and watching as Jessica ran in to the en - suite bathroom. Adam followed her. "Hey " He said, getting on to his knees and stroking her hair as she vomited.

"Shh " Adam soothed, rubbing his thumb across her cheek.

The treatment had left her with a lack of appetite and she was losing weight. Previously a healthy weight at 8 stone she was now 6 stone. It meant she'd lost 2 stone in a matter of weeks.

"Feeling better?" He asked, noticing how baggy and lose her clothes were, Jessica just shook her head at him as she buried her head in to his chest. He looked at his watch - a gift from her on their wedding day. "Come on " He added, guiding her up off the floor and in to their bedroom. Kissing the top of her head Adam realized just how vulnerable his former wife - now girlfriend - was.

"Sure " Jessica's quiet reply was as she watched Adam put on his shoes and checking that someone was available to mind the kids she held on to Adam's hand tightly as the two of them made their way down the stairs and stood by the door.

"Let's go " Adam squeezed her hand as he opened the door, and walked down the stone steps and through the gate as they got in to the car.


The drive to the hospital was quiet, with Adam trying to engage Jessica in conversation but to no avail.

"Don't worry " He murmured, pulling in to a car - space.

Worry? Worry? How could she not worry? This was her life she was talking about.

Sighing, she squeezed Adam's hand again as they began to walk in to the hospital as she know he was just trying to help her.


"Jessica Harrison?" A doctor asked

"Sure " Jessica replied as Adam nodded and they each stood up and followed the doctor in to the room. She was led in to a room where a nurse greeted her and smiled, asking her how she was feeling.

"Fine " Was the nurse received as she turned to sort out her treatment.

She was asked weather or not she'd been through the menopause and she shook her head, she hadn't.

"Sorry, I'm going to have to go " Adam said, rather apologetically to the nurse as he looked at his pager. "Sorry" He added, seeing her disappointed expression.

"It's OK " She said, wincing as she felt the needle go under her skin and she sat there, the IV giving her life changing drugs. She knew that she'd be left with bruises from the needle, but they would fade with time.


"What have we got?" Adam asked, putting his pager back on his top and opening the cubicle curtain.

Tom turned around as Adam drew the curtain around the rails and explained. "This is Darren Harrison, 31, involved in an RTC. GSC was 14 throughout and BP 120/ 80 "

"Good. " Adam stated, getting out his pen - light out of his scrubs and shining it in to the patient's eyes.

"Have you got anybody we can call for you?" Tom asked.

Darren shook his head having no idea that the doctor he was speaking to, was his sister's fiancé.

It was only when she passed the half - open curtain on her way from her chemo session that she looked up and realized something. She was late. Was she expecting? She wondered as she walked from the ED, got in to the car, and drove home.

Letting herself in she was relieved to find the 3 storey house empty for a change. She climbed the stairs, and, headed in to the bathroom.

She knew the instructions on a pregnancy test inside out by now - She weed on the stick, put it on the side of the sink and waited.

Waited.


Sorry for the cliff - hanger, I had to.

Let me explain the reason for bringing Jessica's brother in even know he wasn't mentioned or cast. The only reason I know she had a younger brother is because it said in Jessica's former BBC character profile, that she was inspired to become a nurse after he almost lost his leg in a motorbike accident. I'm not too sure how old he was meant to be as, I said earlier he was never mentioned. So I'll go for 5 years younger than Jessica.

Next prompt: Jessica reels as she awaits the result of the test. Prompted by Still An AJ Lover.
