Chapter 1
"Patrick, Patrick. It hurts" Sophie moaned.
"OK darling I know it does" Patrick comforted her.
"I want mummy."
"I know you do but she's on holiday. We're going to take you to hospital and you'll be OK soon."
Patrick told her as they waited for the ambulance.
Sophies mum and dad who Patrick had known for years had booked a week away and at the last
minute Sophies nan had fallen ill. Patrick was visiting, recovering from the divorce and had volunteered
to stay for an extra week and look after Sophie. Now this had happened. Patrick suspected Sophie
had appendicitis and he'd had to call an ambulance as he had no idea where the hospital was.
Outside he heard sirens.
"Its OK Sophie, these people will make you feel better." Patrick carried her downstairs and
opened the frontdoor.
"Hi, I'm doctor Spiller and this is Sophie. I'm looking after her while her parents are away. I
think its appendicitis."
They got into the ambulence and were at the hospital 10 minutes later. They put Sophie into a
cubicle. A nurse came in took some blood and recorded Sophies BP amd temperature.
"Are we going to see a doctor sometime today?" Patrick asked
"I'm sorry Mr...?"
"Doctor Spiller."
"I'm sorry Doctor Spiller. We've called someone down from Paeds. She'll be here any minute."
"Thank you"
The nurse walked out, relieved that they'd soon be going up to the ward. The last thing she
needed was an arrogant doctor having a go at her and acting all high and mighty.
The doctor from paeds finally arrived.
"Hi, we've got a three year old, suspected appendicitis and a cute but arrogant father, cubicle
3!"
The doctor smiled and walked over to the cubicle. She opened up the curtain and found a little
girl alone, looking scared.
"Hello. What's your name?"
"Sophie."
"Are you with someone?"
Sophie nodded. "He's gone to phone my mummy."
"OK, now I'm a doctor and..."
"So's Patrick, hes a doctor."
"Really well lets take a look at you shall we. Does this hurt?" Sophie nodded and the doctor heard the curtain open behind her.
"Patrick!" Sophie smiled.
Patrick glanced at the back of the doctors head, "Finally, it took you long enough.."
Holly gasped, it couldn't be, surely not, there was only one way to find out. She turned around.
"Patrick!"
"Holly!"
All the feelings that Holly thought she'd finally got rid of came flooding back to her.
There was silence.
"What are you doing here?" Holly asked finally.
"I was looking after Sophie and she got ill. You? I mean what are you doing here?"
"I work here. Well not here, I work upstairs in paeds."
Holly looked at Sophie and realised that she must be Patricks daughter.
"Well as you know we're going to have to operate. We've got space upstairs so we'll get someone
to take you. Did you get in contact with Sophies mum?"
"I tried but there was no answer."
"Is she at work?"
"No, on holiday."
"Well we have to operate, we can't wait for her to get back."
"I do know that Holly."
"OK, I'll go and get someone to take you up to the ward."
On the way out Holly bumped into the nurse.
"Not bad is he?"
"You could say that" Holly smiled weakly.
"You OK? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
"Yeah well I suppose I have, in a way. Sophie needs to come up to the ward."
