Not really sure why I'm writing this so early in the morning. I woke up early yesterday and ended up writing this.

It is a long one, I think I enjoy writing long chapters.

I decided to upload this as it's own story, but then I realised I still had to write something for this without trying to give away the plot line for "Car Crash " (I probably will, mind you. I have a small plot line, but knowing me that'll possibly change. It might not. It might turn out completely similar to this, but I don't think it'll be as long as this was. )

I hope this doesn't get too confusing. I say that, because this is the first time I've ever written a crossover prompt.

This prompt was written by: AJ Lover. The prompt was: Ethan and Cal are called out to the scene of an accident, Cal's stunned to realize he knows the passenger. What happened between them?

Ethan: 27.

Cal: 33.

Darryl Braxton: 33. (Known as Brax in the show. )

Erica Sharpe: 22. (Known as Ricky in the show.)

That was just for anyone who doesn't watch Home & Away and aren't sure who Brax and Ricky are. :)

I wanted this up yesterday, but it kept getting longer and longer and I realised that if I wanted this up before Monday, I needed to write it.

I've worked on this all week. I'm trying to get this up before my iPad runs out of battery.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 75.

Cal wasn't sure why he was remembering what was happening now. She hadn't been anything special to him. She was just a woman he'd picked up, while out drunk, one night. He never expected that night to come back to haunt him, but it had.

Flashback

Cal had, had an argument with Ethan about him staying out late and bringing girls back to the flat. Ethan wouldn't mind, but it wasn't his flat, it was Ethan's, he'd brought it with his half of the money from his mums death. Cal had spent most of his on beer, he betted and he didn't give Ethan rent. Which Ethan wouldn't mind, but he was a slob around the house. He left the toilet seat up. Left his underwear on the floor. His room was a mess. Really, it was just like living with a teenaged Cal again.

Ethan folded his arms. And looked at Cal, he was disappointed in his behaviour.

"What?" Cal just rolled his eyes and headed in to the kitchen to get a beer from the fridge. Ethan sighed.

"You could help, you know " Ethan said as he followed his brother in to the small, but neatly cleaned kitchen.

Cal turned around from getting the beer. He glared at Ethan for a moment before abandoning his beer and walking out in to the street.

End of flashback

Flashback 2

That same night, Cal stormed off to the pub in a huff.

Pushing through the doors, he walked over to the bar and the barman, who had been, cleaning glasses, turned to face him. "What can I get you?" He asked.

"A larger" He said, he was planning on drowning his sorrows in a couple of pints, before returning home and ignoring Ethan.

The man nodded and started making the customers drink. Cal waited, leaning his arms against the counter.

A pretty blonde was sitting quietly in the corner, Cal decided to go and sit with her.

He took his drink, paid the barman and headed over to the corner where the pretty blonde was sitting.

The blonde shot him a shot smile, she recently broke up with her boyfriend, because of something that had been her fault. She'd agreed to her brothers plan, which had left Brax fighting for his life. Ricky had felt beyond terrible, knowing if Brax died, it would be all her fault. She should have stood up to Adam, and told him, that she didn't want to be a part of his plan. But her brother had simply told her he wasn't going to release her. She was going to go down with the rest of them. She had known she was in serious trouble with the police, but she still hoped that she convince Brax that the reason she went along with Adam, was to save his life. He had been understandably furious with her, but then he'd forgiven her as he loved her.

"The names Cal" Ricky shrugged. That line was so corny. She took a sip of her wine. "what's yours?" Cal continued.

She decided to tell him the truth. "Erica "

Cal nodded. Taking a sip he looked at her. Her skin was creamy, she had striking eyelashes and Cal knew that he wanted her.

Once, they'd both finished their drinks, Ricky nipped off to the toilet and locked the door as she

"Sure" She said, she wasn't the type of woman to go home with a stranger, but there was something about Cal. He reminded her of Brax. They both drowned their drinks. And decided to leave.


Cal drunkly opened the door as Ricky laughed at something he was saying.

Cal knew he would wake Ethan up but he didn't care.

Letting Ricky go in before him, she took off her shoes and walked in to the small flat. Cal followed her.

Walking down the corridor, Ricky remembered how she and Brax got together. It had been a one night stand. Did she want to do this? She didn't know.


Emerging the next morning wearing one of Cal's shirts, Ricky walked in to the kitchen. Her hair was tousled and her make up (which she'd forgotten to take off last night was smudged ) She raked her hands through her hair.

"Morning " Ethan mumbled, a pink tinge appearing on his cheeks. He was obviously embarrassed.

"Morning" Ricky replied, knowing he knew that she'd spend the night in his brothers bed.

"He knew he had to be a good host. "Help yourself"

Ricky smiled at him. She wasn't really hungry, but she could do with a coffee.

Cal then appeared. He nicked a piece of his brothers toast, just as he done when they were children.

"Thanks nibbles" He said, taking a hearty bite from the slice.

Ethan was angry. Cal knew how much he hated "Nibbles" as a nickname. It was fine when they were children, but now, they were both adults, it just seemed, I don't know, childish.

She picked up her leather jacket and put her bag over her shoulder. "I should get going" She told both Cal and Ethan, as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

Cal nodded, scribbled his number on a piece of paper, in case she wanted to see him again.

Ricky knew that she didn't want to see Cal again but she politely took the number and said goodbye as she turned and exited the flat.

End of flashback.

He doubted she would remember him. But for some reason, he was remembering her.


Australian couple Darryl Braxton and Erica Sharpe were in a car that Brax had rented were on their way. Due, to the stresses they'd both been under at home, they'd decided to take a break and headed over to England. To see if they could sort out their problems. So, they'd left Angelo's, Brax's restaurant, in Brax's brothers, Kyle's hands and went off on a bit of an adventure. Neither of them had been to England before, but they both knew that it was going to be a change.

But they were unaware of the tragedy that was soon going to be unfolding.

Ricky was laughing at something Brax was saying, she knew his jokes were terrible, but he'd say she'd laugh like a hyena.

He was usually a confident driver but for some reason, he let his hands loosen.

The car skidded and Brax was unable to stop it. He tried, he really did, but all he heard was Ricky's screams. As they crashed in to a tree. Then she went silent. He looked over at her. He decided to talk to her to see if she'd respond.

"Are you OK, Rick?' He asked.

She didn't respond to him. Brax knew that he needed to call for help. He just hoped that, the car wouldn't burst in to flames. He had thought he could get Ricky out. But as he tried the doors he realized that they were trapped.

It was best to sit tight and wait for help to come.


Back at the ED, the red phone started to ring, a sign that there was a major incident on it's way in, and after taking the call, Zoe had gathered the team in the staff room.

"RTC, car vs tree, ETA 3 minutes. I need two doctors at the scene" She told them. She looked around and had decided on Cal and Ethan. Since joining, both doctors had only been out on a number of ambulances rides.

"OK" Said Ethan, he was looking forward to getting out on the action. But he preferred treating patients inside the ED as he felt he could connect with them, that he had a passion for getting them to open up to him.

Jeff, along with Dixie, drove Ethan and Cal to the scene of the accident. When, they got there, the two doctors jumped out and saw the scene.

Ethan noticed the car. It was tipped on it's side and he went over to investigate. There were two people trapped.

They knew it would be safer to get the man out first, leaving the woman inside, until they could get to her.

The man, Brax, was able to get out of the car. She was trapped between the seats.

Cal looked at the woman. He couldn't help thinking he knew her. Then, he realised it was his night stand. He ran his hand over his face. He had to remain professional.

Back at the hospital, Zoe found out that Brax's next of kin, was Ricky and her next of kin, was Brax.

They used the cutters to free the woman from the car.

She was lay on a spinal board and placed on a stretcher in the ambulance. Dixie sat with her as Jeff drove.

On, their way to the hospital, Cal travelled with Ricky and Ethan travelled with Brax.

Out, of the two, injuried Casualities, Brax was the one that was able to talk.

"This is Darryl Braxton, 33, involved in an RTC, possible dislocated leg. BP 140/ 90. GSC 15. " Dixie reeled off as Brax lay on the stretcher, his left leg in a frac pac.

"Just make sure Ricky's ok " Brax told the paramedics as they wheeled him in to the ED .

Dixie nodded "Will do, sweetheart " She was just trying to comfort the man.

Ricky was wheeled in, after Brax. She was lying unconscious on the stretcher and her arm was in a frac pac. She had cuts and bruises on her face. There was nothing the doctors could do for them, they'd heal on their own.

"This is Erica Sharpe, 22, involved in an RTC" Said Dixie. "Her BP is 60/ 90. Her GCS is 2" Dixie said as she wheeled her in to the ED.

She had wanted to bring the both of them in.

She'd been taken to RESUS. Zoe was treating her. She was still unconscious. Her CT had shown that she had a bleed.

"On 3, ladies and gents. " Dixie picked up a piece of the spinal board as did Jeff. "Over nice and gently" They slid her across and started to unstrap her.

Ethan walked in to help assist Zoe in treating Ricky.

"Can we get a head CT?" Ethan asked. He put on his stethoscope and checked her breathing. It wasn't very good.

An x- Ray showed that she had a tension pneumothorax. She would need a chest drain Ethan got the equipment ready. He made an incision in her chest, and inserted the drain.

Another x- ray confirmed that the tube was in the right place.

She'd broken her wrist, and Ethan had managed to put it back in place while she was out, he'd need to put a splint on it. She would need to be monitored for the bleed. She'd also broke a rib.

She'd need to stay in for a few days as Zoe wanted to keep an eye on her. She'd winced as she asked the clinical lead who was beside her, writing something in her notes, where her partner was.

"He's been looked over" Zoe informed her.

She nodded. She just hoped he was ok.

Ricky had been moved to cubicles, once it had been deemed that her life wasn't in danger anymore but she'd still be closely monitored. Cal came to visit her, seemingly remembering her from the one- night stand all them years ago.

"Did you tell him?" He asked, he was, referring, to their one night stand.

She knew she'd lose Brax if she did. She shook her head as she whispered "No"

"Good" Cal replied.

"Why?" Ricky asked, she was struggling to see how it was good, she was lying on the bed and she knew that Brax wouldn't want to know her if he found out she'd cheated. But they weren't together when she'd slept with Cal, after one too many, glasses of white wine.

Cal sighed, he couldn't think of a believable excuse. He left her to it. But he knew that Ethan deserved the truth.

Cal sighed again as he spoke to Ethan, who was looking over another set of patient notes at the reception desk. "I know her "

Ethan was confused. He looked up. "Who? The patient in cubicle 1?"

Cal nodded, it seemed that's all he was capable of doing at the moment.

Ethan took off his glasses and rubbed his tired eyes. It seemed like Cal would never learn. And there he was, thinking that his brother had matured. How wrong he was.

Zoe entered the cubicle, she was holding Ricky's notes.

"Erica?" She asked, standing at the foot of the bed.

"Yeah?" Ricky asked, wondering what the female doctor wanted.

"Your pregnant" Zoe informed her. Ricky paled.

Zoe noticed this. "Are you ok?" She asked.

Ricky nodded her head, she'd been cleared of any damage to her neck. "Sure" She told the doctor.

Zoe frowned and looked at Cal.

The doctor shrugged.

"Back to work " Zoe told him.

Cal nodded and walked off.

Zoe sat on the edge of the bed.

"Anything you tell me will be in confidence " She continued.

"I know " Ricky said. Her head was a mess and she didn't know what cubicle Brax was in. She knew that she owed him her life. Without him, she'd be lying in a mourge now, leaving Brax to grieve his partner.


In cubicle, 3, Ethan was giving Brax stitches. His leg was in plaster and it would be off in a couple of weeks.

"Doc?" Brax asked.

Ethan looked at him and smiled. "Yes?"

"Is Ricky ok?" he asked, he was worried.

"I'll find out for you" He told him, as he finished stitching.

"Cheers, doc" Brax said.

Ethan smiled, taking off his gloves and exiting the cubicle, leaving Brax sitting on the bed.

Ethan soon returned, a smile on his face.

Brax looked up.

"She's fine" He smiled.

Brax nodded. He was glad.

Zoe wrote up a prescription for Ricky, aware that she'd be in pain after the crash. She gave it to Brax. He'd been offered some, but he refused them. His priority was Ricky.


A few weeks later, Brax had his arm around Ricky as he opened the door to the flat they were renting while they were in England. He'd just picked her up from the hospital. It was similar to Brax's studio flat in Oz, it had a living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms.

Ricky walked in to the living room.

"Brax?" She asked as she sat down on the couch. She winced, due to the pain she was in.

Her partner turned to face her. "What's wrong Ric?" He asked.

Ricky took a deep breath, before she prepared to tell him. She didn't want to tell him in the hospital, in case Cal overheard and suspected that it was his baby. She really hoped it wasn't. She knew it couldn't be, but she couldn't live a lie either. She knew that the guilt would tear her apart.

Brax realised that she had been quiet. He put a hand to her cheek.

"Tell me the truth " He said to her. He hated it when she kept secrets from him, it made him feel like she didn't trust him.

Ricky nodded. It's what he deserved. "I'm pregnant" She whispered as a lone tear made it's way down her cheek. She was worried she would lose the baby and that was understandable, considering that she'd had a miscarriage before.

"it'll be fine" Brax said, as he pulled her in to a hug. She leant against him, breathing in his smell. Checking his watch, he pulled Ricky up from the sofa and headed out in to the hallway, so that him, Ricky and bump could get some sleep.

Only, it turned out, that sleep wasn't on Ricky's mind as she struggled to get comfortable in the bed. Her arm was causing her pain. She put her other arm on her stomach.

A few hours later, Ricky was still wide awake, Brax was snoring peacefully beside her. She decided to go and get some air. Quietly leaving the bedroom, she made her way down the hallway and opened the front door. She wrapped her arms around her stomach as she stared out at the night sky, she felt like her and Brax were distancing from each other and it wasn't what she needed right now. Surely, he didn't want them to split?

She rested her head in her hands as she sat on the wall, outside the flat.

She doubled over, when she felt twinges in her stomach. She headed back in to flat.

"Brax!" She shouted, in the hope that he could hear her.

But her boyfriend was a heavy sleeper, and he kept on sleeping.

Ricky sighed, walking in to the living room, after re- locking the front door. She eased herself on to the couch, willing the pain to go away. But it didn't and Ricky knew that she'd have to wake Brax up. So, she walked back in to the bedroom and shook Brax's shoulder gently.

But Brax didn't stare from his sleep. Ricky put her hands on her stomach, just as a gush of water spilled down her legs. She froze. This was it, she was about to become a mother.

The pain felt to her, like, she was having bad period pains. She took deep breaths to try to relieve herself of the pain, but she knew it was going to get worse.

"Ahh" She screamed, in pain, raking her hands through her hair. She wished she had Brax's hand to hold. She knew that her labour could take up to 8 hours as it was her first child, but she was quietly trying to cope with her pain, as she soon realized not even her loud screams could wake Brax up. She rubbed her belly.

She wrapped her in a towel that she found in the bathroom.

Brax woke when he heard a small baby cry. The crying showed she had a good set of lungs on her, like her father. Whoever that was. Ricky knew she had to find out. She couldn't believe she'd not known she was pregnant. She was still surfing, her wetsuit still fit and she'd had no cravings, no bouts of morning sickness. She counted herself lucky.

"She's perfect" Brax said, the baby had her eyes, her lashes, her creamy skin and had inherited Brax's nose.

Ricky smiled as she said. "I know"

Brax leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. She placed her hands on his chest.

She knew she'd have to get the baby checked out. She looked down at her.


When Cal woke up the next morning, Ethan had already left for work. He figured that he'd let his brother sleep in for a while.

Cal walked in to work the next day and Zoe walked over to him. "Cubicle 1 needs, checking on "

Cal walked in to the cubicle where Ricky was, once again, resting but this time she had a baby girl in her arms. And Brax had his arm around her, they looked like the perfect family.

"Yes?" Ricky asked as she noticed that Cal was staring at them.

The doctor thought of a lie. "I need to check your obs" He told her, stepping further in to the cubicle and drawing the curtain around the rails. It wasn't stritcly true, but Cal knew, that as a medical professional, nobody would question it.

"Fine" Ricky sighed, as she ran a hand, through her hair, she always did this when she was stressed, upset or feeling anxious. And it was fair to say, she was feeling a little bit of both.

He wrapped a BP cuff around he arm and inflated it so it tightened around her arm. She pulled a face in pain. Taking note of her BP, he took it off and put it on the side. He then took her pulse, he did this by putting his thumb and forefinger on her wrist and counted the beats.

Cal discreetly took a pair of scissors and cut a lock of Ricky's blonde hair off. He knew he shouldn't of, but it was the only way he could get proof of weather or not, he was the father to her baby.

Her partner Brax, had seen was Cal was doing. He stood up and pinned Cal to the wall, he was handy with his fists. "Get off!" He growled at Cal, he hated anyone touching her.

"Brax, don't " Ricky said, she'd disturbed the baby in her arms as she started to cry.

Brax released Cal and sat down beside Ricky. She was rocking the baby. She looked exhausted and most probably felt sore but most women did after they'd just given birth.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" Brax asked her. He was still feeling angry, but he knew to never take his anger out on Ricky as he knew she'd take the baby and walk out on him.

Ricky shook her head, she hadn't been expecting to be holding a baby in her arms. But she knew that she needed a name, she couldn't be called "Baby " for the rest of her life.

"What about Olivia?" Brax suggested looking at the baby in his partners arms.

"Olivia Braxton" Ricky echoed experimentally. Truth be told, she liked it.


Ethan and Cal were sitting at home. The DNA results lay on the coffee table in front of them. Cal had collected them after his shift had ended. Ethan looked at Cal.

Ethan, as usual, was the first to speak. "Are you ready?"

Cal was back to his normal method of nodding his head. He knew that these results would change his life either way.

"OK" Ethan said, as he looked at Cal, one more time, to make sure that he did want him to open the results. The man nodded. Ethan ran his finger under the seal and carefully pulled out the paper before unfolding it and beginning to read:

'The DNA results show that Caleb is not the father to Erica's baby. '

Cal put his head in his hands, he'd kind of gotten used to the idea of being a potential father.

Ethan put a hand on his shoulder. "Are you OK?" He asked, carefully.

"It's fine, Ethan " Cal told him, standing up and reaching for the paper and scrunching it up before walking in to the kitchen and binning the paper.

Cal knew his brother wasn't really fine, but he knew that he would drink himself in to a stupor before the pain stopped hurting. That, and bedding girls, but bedding Ricky, all them years ago, was what had got him in to this situation in the first place.


Brax and Ricky knew that they had to get back to Oz, to introduce Olivia to her uncle Kyle. She briefly thought about Adam but then realized he would brainwash her. Liked he'd brainwashed her mother. She pressed a kiss to Olivia's tiny forehead.

"Ready?" Brax asked, as he hobbled in to the living room. They were going for a walk, before they had to get a taxi to the airport, and then wait for their flight to be called.


Cal decided to go to the gym on his day off, as he wanted to keep fit.

On, his way back from the gym, he bumped in to Ricky pushing a pram, Brax's arms around her waist.

Cal stopped. He didn't know why he did. He looked in to the pram to see Olivia asleep, she was wearing a pink baby grow with 'I Love Mummy' on.

"Congratlons " He told them.

"Cheers" Brax said as they walked off, back to their flat to get their things ready for their flight home.


Brax was relived to be back home. He could get back to doing what he loved. And that was going for a surf. Ricky would usually join him but they both knew that she'd be busy with Olivia and keeping the flat tidy. They were discussions of them moving out and buying a bigger place. But this flat was the place that they'd slept together, after she'd come to the Bay for Brax's brothers engagement party. And they lived next door to Kyle and his new girlfriend Billie Ashford. Phoebe left the Bay as she realised that her and Kyle were not going to get back together. It had broke her heart to leave him, but she realised that they'd never, ever, ever get back together. They'd had a drink at Angelo's before she left.

Kyle walked in to Brax's flat. Ricky had just finished breast feeding Olivia, had winded and burped her daughter and was now lying on the couch, with her hair in a pony to keep it off her face.

Olivia was in her cot, she was asleep. And that meant Ricky could get some peace and quiet.

"Hey, Rick " Kyle greeted as he stepped in to the living room.

Ricky had an idea, she lifted Olivia and the child whimpered in her arms.

"Uncle Kyle, meet your niece " She smiled.

Kyle took the baby in to his arms and watched in awe as she grabbed on to his finger. She then snuggled in to him. Kyle looked content.

Brax come in and put his keys down on the table. Ricky smiled.

"Alright, babe?" Ricky asked, she was disspointed he'd just missed Kyle, but she knew the brothers would catch up soon.

Brax nodded and kissed her head. "I'm good " He sat down beside her.

"Good" Ricky murmured.

Brax took off his shoes and put his feet up on the table.

Wrapping his arm around her. He reflected on Olivia. She had been an unexpected surprise, but he knew Ricky had always wanted children and now she had a little daughter that weighed in at 3lbs 2Ozs. She was tiny but perfect.

Life was good for both of them.

They took her in and she was transferred to the baby unit.

They'd had a rota sorted. Ricky spent the morning with her in the baby unit, while Brax had some him time and at lunch, they switched, so the other could have some time to theirselves to do what they liked. And at night, one of the parents stayed while the other went home.

Ricky blamed herself though. Brax had told her to stop beating herself up.


Life was good for Cal too. Zoe had informed him that both him and Ethan had passed their exams they'd done. Cal was proud of his little brother, he always knew he was bright. But he never had expected to pass. He never passed his exams at school. Ethan had offered to help him but he refused. He was now no longer a locum doctor, he was now know as:

"Consultant Caleb "Cal" Knight"

And, that brought a real sense of achievement to him. That night, Zoe, Max, Ethan, Lofty and Charlie had agreed to come out for a pint to celebrate the brothers success and as, the brothers toasted each other, they also toasted to their dearly departed mother, Vera.

Cal raised his glass. "To Mum" Cal said.

Ethan raised his as well. "To Mum" He echoed quietly, clinking his glass against Cal's. Their mother would always be in their hearts.


I wonder if anyone got to the end of this. I think this was longer than any prompt I've ever written. I don't know if there will be anymore crossover prompts. There might be as this was fun to write. I seem to love putting Ricky in danger.

I really, really liked writing this one. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I'm sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes.

I don't know whether this was the end of this story. I guess it's up to you guys, really as it's run on your ideas. It includes some of my own.

If, it was, I'd like to thank everyone who has sent in prompts, left reviews and Followed and favourited this story, it really, really means a lot.

They'll be no updates to any stories from next Monday to the following Tuesday as I'm away in Turkey for the week. Which I'm really, really looking forward to. I think that's the reason why this got so, so long. Even longer than any Jessica prompts I've written and I loved writing for her.
