The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 105.

Charlie was right, Connie reflected as she walked in to the ED, hand in hand with Jacob, she deserved happiness.

She allowed Jacob to kiss her cheek ignoring the 'wolf whistles' from Cal, Big Mac, Noel and Jack.

In, her office, Connie was meant to be concentrating on the pile of paperwork that needed signing in front of her, but for some reason, she couldn't as she kept thinking back to her night with Jacob, it had been 4 weeks since they'd last had sex and Connie pulled open the draw, searching for something she thought she wouldn't need again.


Connie sat in the bathroom, at home, staring desperately at the pregnancy test, she wanted and needed this to be negative. She was clinical lead for God sake, how could she manage the long hours at work with a screaming baby which demanded her attention 24/7.

She tapped her nails against the sink and waited.


She strode back in to work, ignoring Zoe's concerned "Are you OK?" look.

"Staff nurse Masters? A word?" She demanded, hands on her hips.

"Anything for you, sweet cheeks" Jacob replied, cockily.

She rolled her eyes as she headed towards the stairs to her office and waited for him to catch up with her. She took her time, unlocking the door with her keys as if she could slow down time. She walked in and dumped her bag by her chair, she sat down as she pulled the test from her bag and slid it to him.

"Your pregnant"

"Well done" She sarcastically replied, sitting down on her chair and raking a hand through her hair.


Later, that night, Connie sat in her bedroom, with her laptop and was waiting for the screen to boot up.

"Hi Mum" Grace smiled, suddenly appearing on the - screen.

"Hi darling "

"Look, darling, there is something I need to tell you" Connie said, she didn't know how Grace was going to react.

"Soon, your going to have a little brother or sister "

"Can I name it?"

Connie nodded.

"Mum, I have to go "

"Bye darling. "

"Bye Mum, love you "

"Love you too "

Conniie watched as Grace clicked off and sighed, clicking on the 'X' in the left hand corner of her own - screen. She got up and put a hand to her stomach when she felt a twinge. She thought nothing of it and continued walking up the stairs.

She took off her clothes and hung them up and got in to bed.

Sharp pains ran through the clinical leads stomach as she slept, when suddenly she woke up in pain.

Connie pulled back the duvet to see a red patch on the mattress. She reached for her phone and called Zoe.


Connie lay on a bed in cubicles, Zoe was standing beside her, a Doppler in her hand. "This'll feel cold. "

"I know " Connie nodded.

"Just do it" Connie snapped, her icy exterior covered how scared she was at the fact she could lose her unborn child.

Zoe nodded and squirted the gel on her stomach. She moved the Doppler around.

Her hand was clasped in to Jacob's.

"I'm so sorry Connie " Zoe told her.

"Thank you Dr. Hanna" Connie replied, her voice as professional as ever, but anyone who knew Constance Beauchamp, knew it was just a front to stop herself from getting hurt.

Zoe nodded and left them to it, she drew the curtain around to give the couple privacy. It was Connie Beauchamp broke down in to tears.
