This is my second to last chapter for "The Secret Life Of Casualty "as I have come to the end of my list that I kept in my documents, I don't know if I will be ending this, after the next chapter, I guess that's up to you guys really, because this story is ran on your ideas. I don't have an end idea for this story, but I'm preferring writing for home & Away recently, with only one other Casualty story on the go, you guys should get an update to that, soon. I've just been too lazy to write.
I'm unable to watch Casualty tonight, as I'm going out to see "Pitch Perfect 2" So, please no spoilers after you guys have watched the epsiode, it does look good. I guess it's why I'm posting this so early.
Let me know in a PM, or a review what you think, I should do. As always, spelling and grammar mistakes are mine.
Thank you so much for the reviews, follows and favourites. It really does mean a lot.
I think this prompt is a bit of a muddley mess, but yeah, for some reason I wanted it up.
This was a Cal/ Ella chapter prompted by WaterlooRoadGeek, with the prompt: Ella's father, Ash threatens her husband Cal, but Ella overhears him and moves back in with Cal and their baby daughter, Mia.
The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 72
Ella Knight was stressed out. She'd given birth on her wedding day to Cal and he hadn't helped her out much, so Ella was having to rely on her father Ash.
Ella lifted her daughter in to her in to her arms as she attempted to sooth her. She looked at the clock, it was 5am and she had college in the morning, it wasn't easy juggling a baby, an absent husband and coursework from college. But somehow she managed it.
Finally, the baby in her arms fell asleep. Ella was relieved and walked the few steps over to the cot as she lowered her daughter in to the cot. Then, she walked in to her bedroom and pulled back the duvet as she got in and fell asleep, only minutes later for her alarm to go off. She sighed deeply. She bet Cal never had this problem as he always thought that Ella could do the mothering. It took two of them to make this baby.
Zoe called as out to Ash "Ash, I need you in resus, with Cal " Clinical lead Zoe called, her arms full of folders, little realising the younger doctor wasn't in.
Ash sighed as he answered "Fine" then he looked at Rita as she shrugged her shoulders. He headed in to resus and asked Ethan for an update on the patient.
Cal walked in to work, a whole two hours late, a record for him and he swayed from side to side as Zoe put her hands on her hips.
"My office now!" She shouted.
"Whatever " Cal shrugged and followed a furious looking Zoe.
Zoe headed to the lifts and pressed the button as the metal doors opened. When the doors opened, she walked along the corridor, her famous heels making a sound on the marble floor. She reached her office and got her keys out to unlock the door.
After a mishap, a furious Zoe had no choice but to send him home early. Cal was relieved. He could see Ethan shaking his head at him in disappointment. Cal didn't care, as far as he was concerned, Ethan had also thought he was a disaster.
Ash was standing outside Ethan's apartment. He wanted a word With cal. He was thankful that Ella and Mia were no longer living with him, because Ash felt he could provide for Ella and Mia.
Cal dragged himself to the door.
Cal the two men hadn't gotten on since Cal had avoided his responsibilities as a father, preferring too go out getting drunk.
Ash walked in and shut the door.
" I don't want you near Ella " Ash told Cal.
Ella overheard her father and decided to form a plan. She then turned back and started to put her plan in to action.
Al Cal had been staying on Ethan's sofa while he tried to sort his marriage troubles out. Well, he wasn't really sorting them out. He was just being lazy.
At first, Ethan hadn't minded having his brother to stay, but now it was starting to get on his nerves.
Ella knocked on the door. She checked on Mia, who was sleeping. Ethan answered it.
"me and Cal are are back together" Ella announced as she stepped in to the house
"News to me" Ethan muttered as he made his way to his brothers house, he'd finally moved out after putting his inheritance from his mums death on a house. Just a few doors down from Ethan. Ethan knocked on the door and waited for either Cal or Ella to answer. Ella answered. She stepped in to the house.
"Hey Ethan" Cal greeted him as Ethan pushed his glasses up his nose and stepped in to his brothers house, there were boxes in the hallway as Cal hadn't finished unpacking.
The boys clinked their beer bottles as they both took a swig.
Ella returned home, she'd taken Mia for a walk to get some fresh air. She unclasped her daughter from the pram and lifted her in to her arms. The child muffled and Ella headed in to the kitchen to make her daughter a bottle.
She felt sad that Ash would miss miss out on his Grandaughters life but he had blown it.
She put the lid on the bottle and gave it a bit of a shake as she walked over to her daughter and put the bottle to her daughters mouth.
Cal and Ethan met in the cemetery to pay their respects to their deceased mum. "Hey Mum" Ethan spoke to the stone as Cal quickly wiped a tear away that had rolled down his cheek. But Ethan noticed. He placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. The two walked out of the cemetery and decided to have a drink to toast their mums memory.
"To mum" Ethan said as they sat down at an empty booth.
Cal held up his glass as he echoed "To mum"
They both took sips as they talked about their childhood.
cal remembered pushing Ethan on a swing.
Cal remembered their mum giving birth to Ethan.
Ethan smiled as he drained the last of his pint as he walked up to the bar and paid for both his and Cal's drink as the two brothers headed out on to the street, back owards Cal's house where Ethan was going to stay the night as he wasn't working.
Sorry this is quite short, I'm not to happy with this, but I'm never really truly happy with what I write. Well, I thought this was a mess, but it's been in my documents for a while, along with other ones. Well, that turned out longer than I expected it to be.
Next chapter: Zoe delivers her baby, but will it be a boy or a girl? Will Max be by her side, or will it be one of her colleagues, who support her? Prompted by Bethyboo 97.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I'm personally looking forward to writing the next prompt Zoe is one of my favourite characters, so I hope that you Zax fans enjoy it.
