I started this chapter while I was on holiday but I waited until I was back home to upload it as I wanted to check it had no spelling mistakes or errors in. (As I knew the last couple of chapters of this and other fictions I've updated on both "Angel2021" and "Gillian Kearney Fan" have had errors in. ) Sometimes they just happen.

This is the last chapter of this story. I've enjoyed writing this. It was wrote for by Still An AJ Lover and the prompt was: Jessica's brought in, after a fall at home, as Zoe informs Adam that Jessica's been brought in, he rushes in to RESUS, only to find Jessica crying her eyes out. Will Zoe give Jessica the news she desperately wants?


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 42

"Zoe, it's Jessica " Paramedics Jeff and Dixie informed the younger medic of the familiar patient as he and Dixie wheeled the stretcher to RESUS. "She has a head injury, her GSC was 2, and BP was 60/ 90 "

"Okay thanks, Jeff " Zoe said as she got Noel to find Adam. Noel nodded, and walked out from behind the reception desk and headed to the staff - room.

"Doctor Trueman"

"That's my name don't wear it out " He joked.

"Jessica's been brought in " Noel told him, watching his reaction.

"What?" He said, following Noël out of the staff room and running to RESUS Where he found Zoe, Jeff, and Dixie transferring Jessica from the stretcher and to the bed.

"Lets get a CT organised " Zoe stated, Big Mac nodded and fetched Max, as he was no longer a porter.

Max walked in to RESUS, winked at Zoe and then took the brakes off the bed as he wheeled it from RESUS and to the lifts where he waited for the doors to open, when they did he pushed the bed inside the lift and waited for the lifts to close again.

In CT Zoe joined Max as they both watched over Jessica as she began fitting. She needed diazepam. Fletch got her some and Zoe injected Jessica with the drug, but only a low dose as she knew she was pregnant and Jessica stopped fitting.

The board slid in the machine as the scan was took and Zoe stood behind the screen watching intently to know if Jessica started fitting again.

Her CT scan showed concussion so Zoe was going to keep her in for the night for observation and they took her back to RESUS so Zoe could reset her elbow and wait for her to wake up before a midwife or Tess did the scan.

"How is she?" Adam asked, concerned for her.

"Still unconscious " Zoe informed him as Danny took over the next part of the conversation.

"And we are waiting for her to wake up so we can check the baby " Danny informed him not knowing that Adam didn't know that she was expecting but he had to act like he did know.

"Good " Adam said, shoving his hands in his jeans pockets.

By now Jessica had started to come round and had noticed Adam. "Hey" He said softly, reaching for her hand which she was reluctant to give him.

"Ready?" Adam asked as Zoe wanted to move her elbow.

"Sure " She gulped as Zoe undid the Velcro on the frac - pack and took her elbow in to her own as she pulled the bone back in to place, Jessica screamed as Tom got a sling. Zoe tied it around Jessica's shoulder and pulled it carefully so her elbow was resting comfortably.

Tess walked in with a Doppler and Jessica waited as she prayed to God even know she wasn't really religious, she'd only prayed once before she fell pregnant and when Lucas was ran over with a silent prayer that the baby would live.

Tess put the machine on and put the probe against Jessica's skin as she hoped to pick up a heartbeat. She moved it around, both nurses in RESUS knowing that heartbeats were sometimes hard to find.

It was up to Zoe to tell Jessica and Adam the news she so desperately didn't want.

"I'm so sorry Jessica, it looks like you've lost it " Zoe told her honestly.

She couldn't cry, all she could do was look at Zoe feeling empty and didn't feel Adam's arms around her as he slid them around her and held her close.

"Sshh " He whispered, trying to soothe her but they both knew when she was upset and angry - like she was when Harry died - she'd push him away and that wouldn't do well for their relationship that they were trying to repair.


I really liked writing this prompt.

Next prompt: Lilly has had a healthy pregnancy so far, but at the ED when she starts feeling unwell as she starts rushing for her assessment with Ash she faints and falls down the ED stairs, will hers and Ethan's unborn baby be okay? Was wrote for CasualtyFanForever81.
