A/N - OK I'm moving onto some new territory here so I'm sorry if this is a
bit poo. Erm. . . I mainly deal in series 10-15 of Casualty but I do
occasionally watch the new episodes. Anyway my friend and me were shocked
with how little Tina/Sean/Sam/Max/Sunny/Amy etc. . . .fanfics there were so
as I do, I decided to write one. Hope you like it!

Tina looked down the corridor. The corridor where she had spent many happy times, many sad times and many just fun times. Now she was not having fun, now she was not one of the gang. Now no one even noticed her. She took another glance through the window, towards reception. She saw not one familiar face. She remembered the days when it was her Sam and Sonny against the world. Living together and then going to the pub with Amy and Chloe after work. Well they were all gone now. Everyone she had known was gone and she was here. All alone. At the time when the only thing she wanted to do was see her friends. Slowly she walked back towards reception.
Anna saw the women in the corridor long before she entered. She'd looked so upset, like her whole world had just collapsed in on her. Anna had been glancing at her every few minutes for the last 10, wondering what she was doing here. When the women eventually walked in Anna walked straight over to her.
"Excuse me Miss? Can I help you?"
The women looked shocked to see Anna, shocked in fact to see that there were actually people in the world. She slowly shook her head. Anna tried again,
"I'm a nurse here, are you looking for a patient? Or would you just like a drink?"
Again the women said nothing. Anna decided to take this as a yes and slowly guided her towards the drinks machine. After slipping a few bits of change into the machine she settled the women on the steps before she joined her. She waited for the women to finish before she tried again.
"Hi. My names Anna"
"Tina" The women replied. Well at least it was a start.
"So you live round here Tina?"
The women shook her head. "Australia. Been there for almost three years"
Anna looked shocked. God, if she lived in Australia she'd never come back to Holby. "What are you doing here then Tina?"
"Parents. I was bringing my daughter to see my parents"
"Alone?"
"With my husband"
Suddenly the women started crying and Anna instinctively put her arms around her holding her as she cried. Anna realised it must be serious and that they couldn't continue to block the stairs. She looked around for Charlie, eventually locating him and waving him over. As soon as he reached them Anna could see the nurse in him taking over. He quickly glanced at the women before gently tilting her head towards him. He looked down at her face for only a second before a name jumped into his mind.
"Tina?" he muttered shock in his voice
"You know her?" Anna asked, even more shocked that Charlie.
"She used to work here. In fact." he said remembering something, "You're looking at your predecessor"
As Anna looked down at the women who had done her job before her she remembered how Chloe used to talk about the nurse who was here before her. She said they lived together and..
But before Anna could remember anymore Tina fainted.
"OK!" Charlie said authoritatively, "Let's get her into a cubicle. Then we can try and find out what's wrong"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Charlie looked over Tina's unconscious form and wondered what she was doing here. Anna had mentioned that she said she was with her husband and daughter. So Sean might be around here somewhere. He noticed she was waking up and learned closer to her, smiling slightly,
"Tina? Tina can you hear me?"
She nodded and gave him a slight patronising look. Charlie relaxed and pulled up the chair next to her bed, curious as to what was going on.
"Tina what are you doing here? Where's Sean?"
Tina looked at him like it was the most obvious thing in the world, "He's with Melia"
Charlie looked confused and Tina added, "Our daughter"
"OK Tina. Do you remember fainting?"
Suddenly Tina's face crumpled, as though she was remembering a terrible memory. As tears came to the corner of her eye she began to talk.
"Melia's never met mum. Sean thought it would be a good idea if we came over for a few weeks. Melia could meet mum and we could go to Cornwall, see Sam. We got to the airport and we were all tired. I told him not to drive. I kept telling him not to drive but he wouldn't listen. He told me to stay in the back with Melia. Said I could fall asleep that way" The tears came then, fast and thick. Charlie offered her a tissue before smiling at her, encouraging her to finish. "The next thing I remember is a bang. A lot of metal. I must have fallen asleep. The ambulance came and brought us all here. I was so tired I couldn't stay there; I kept remembering things I had to move" She took a deep breath, as though saying the next sentence might drain all of her energy, " I think he's dead Charlie. I think they both are"
Charlie looked at her. The poor women, not to even have any idea. Without thinking he leaned over and gave her a hug holding her as she cried. He saw Fin out in the corridor and nodded for him to come over. As Charlie entangled himself from Tina and laid her down he drew the curtain and explained everything to Fin.
"Will you stay with her while I find out about Sean?" Charlie asked when he had finished
"Sure. I'll stay as long as it takes. Just tell Josh I might be a while OK?"
Charlie nodded and walked off in the direction of Resus. Fin simply walked into the cubicle and settled into the chair beside a fitfully sleeping Tina.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just as Charlie walked into Resus he heard those fateful words,
"Time of death 21:09. Good job everyone"
Charlie slowly walked over to the trolley and pulled back the sheet. The face he had been dreading stared back at him. The face of Dr Sean Maddox. The face Charlie had worked with for two years and the one face he had never expected to see lying on a trolley in Resus. He looked over towards Lara.
"Can't you do anything else?"
She shook her head looking at him quizzically.
"He used to work here. His wife's in a cubicle. Oh! You don't know what happened to the little girl do you?"
Lara smiled faintly, "Not a scratch. She's gone to the crèche with Roxy"
"Some good news at least. Well I guess I'd better go tell Tina"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Charlie walked into the cubicle. Tina was awake now, and talking quietly with Fin. She smiled at him when he entered. The smile fell from her face when she saw his.
"No. . . . . . ." she whispered, "No. . . . . . ."
"Tina I'm sorry. . ." Charlie began
"No. . . . ." she repeated as the tears ran down her face, "No. . . . . No Charlie he can't be. . . . . No. . . . . . " As the tears took over all Charlie could do was watch as she cried. God. Sometimes he hated this job.
