I don't own them, If you want 'em go to the BBC (I suppose I could own Chloe, Barney, Tina & sean seeing as Mervyn bloody watson has gone and axed them all!!!)



Sweetheart, don't worry. I'll be there through the whole thing.'

'I'd be a useless mother anyway.'

Well, you're the best wife ever, so you'll be twice as good a mother.'

Just then the doorbell rang and Barney went down to answer it. 'Tina, Sean! I wasn't expecting you!' Exclaimed Barney.

'Well, it is Chloe's birthday, isn't it? Where is she?' Asked Tina.

'Upstairs, resting.' Replied Barney.

'What? A party without the birthday girl?' Just then Tina saw the wheelchair and put two and two together. 'Help!'

'She's upstairs.' Barney replied, and Tina legged it up the stairs. 'Sean, can I get you a drink?!!'

***

'Chloe, what happened?' Said Tina as she sat down on the edge of the bed. 'How did you get like this?'

'Long story.' Chloe said, but told Tina anyway.

'Oh, you poor thing!' Tina exclaimed at the end. 'I can't believe I said all those selfish things about walking down the aisle.'

'Don't worry, you weren't to know.'

'Why didn't you tell me?'

'I just couldn't bring myself to tell you, you sounded so happy.'

'You know I'll always be here for you, what are friends for?'

'Tina, there is something I want to tell you which I've only just told Barney.'

'What?'

'I'm pregnant. I'm really worried; I can't be pregnant and paralysed.'

'There's nothing that says that.'

'But what about giving birth?'

'Caesarean, Chloe. Don't worry, you'll have all your friends around you, and your gorgeous husband who loves you more than anything.'

'I know.' Replied Chloe. Just then Barney came upstairs.

'Chlo, do you want to come downstairs and cut your cake?' He asked.

'Yeah, can you give me a hand?' Chloe asked. Barney and Tina helped her into her wheelchair, then into the chairlift. As she entered the room, everyone started to sing 'Happy Birthday'. Chloe then blew out the candles and cut the cake.

Soon everyone went home, or clubbing, or the pub, or wherever semi-drunk Casualty staff go on a Saturday night!

***

1 month later…

It was Chloe's first day back at work and little did she know that everyone had planned a surprise for her.

As Barney pushed her into the scarily quiet reception and into the equally quiet cubicle area, suddenly all the staff burst out of cubicles in wheelchairs.

'Surprise!' They all shouted.

'What on earth are you mad people doing?' Chloe exclaimed.

'Making you feel welcome!' Lara answered. Just then Max walked in.

'Everyone, get out of those wheelchairs and back to work NOW!' Max shouted, 'nice to see you again Chloe' Max said more calmly, 'here's your first patient, Mr. Barker, sprained wrist'

Chloe walked (a/n sorry wrong word I meant to say wheeled!!) into reception to get her patient she was nearly knocked out of her wheelchair by Tina legging it into reception shouting: ' Help!! I'm Late Charlie is going to kill me'

'Charlie's away,' Jack replied, Tina breathed a sigh of relief, 'but Max isn't!!' Jack continued.

'HELP!!' Tina half screemed and ran madly through to the staff room or as far away from Max as possible!

'Mad' Chloe muttered to herself, 'right Mr. Barker, if you would like to come with me'

'Didn't that docter just tell you to all to get out of those wheelchairs?' Mr. Barker asked.

'I wish I could,' Chloe replied.

'I don't want to be treated by a disabled nurse!' Mr. Barker exclaimed.

'Fine if you would like to take a seat I'll get another nurse to come and treat you,' said Chloe obviously hurt. She vwheeled herself back through to the cubicle area to get Anna. 'Anna, will you go and treat Mr. Barker. He won't let me treat him.'

'What a b*rst*d !!' Anna exclaimed, 'you're a perfectly capable nurse'

'It doesn't matter, I made the wrong decision to come back to work'

'No you didn't…' Anna started to argue but Chloe was already wheeling herself off to find Barney. He was in the staff room talking to Duffy.

'Duffy, I resign.' Chloe stated.

' you've only been back half an hour, shouldn't you at least give yourself a chance to adjust.' Duffy said.

'No one wants to be treated by me, I'll end up sitting around doing paperwork all day'

'oh well, it's your decision' Duffy said, finally giving up with a sigh.

'Duffy, I'm sorry, I know how trouble you went to to get me my job, but it'll never work out' Chloe replied.

Barney took Chloe home…

'Are you sure you're going to be alright sweetheart,' Barney asked

'I'll be fine, stop worrying' Chloe replied, 'But I'm really tiered so I'm going to go upstairs and rest, better you be getting back to the hospital,' Chloe finished.

'Yeah you're right, I'll see you later sweetheart' Barney said before going out the door.

Chloe climed into the stair-lift and went up the stairs. When she got upstairs she started to menover herself into the wheelchair but her foot slipped and she fell down the stairs.

'BARNEY!!' she screamed.
