Thank you so much to everyone who read and reviewed the last chapter. I know I didn't get round to thanking you all individually but I want you to know that not only do I love receiving reviews (especially good ones) but I really appreciate you all taking the time to read my little offerings.

So here is chapter 2 - a little taste of Honey - I hope I get her kind of right.

Chapter 2

Honey ran out of the ED as fast as her high heels would let her. She didn't know how, but she just knew that Cal would have gone outside. She was drawn to the side of the car park area by sounds of retching. She took off towards the sound and found the object of her search, who was currently throwing up behind a bench, "Cal?" she said, carefully approaching the stricken young man. On hearing his name, Cal glanced up, wiping his mouth with a tissue that he had found in his pocket. Honey sat down on a bench hoping that Cal would join her, which he did. She smiled slightly at him and began rummaging in her bag, "I know I've got one somewhere...ah here it is," she commented as she pulled a bottle of water out and handed it to Cal. He took it gratefully and rinsed his mouth out, spitting out at the side of him, then taking a couple of big gulps, "Thanks," he breathed, "I'm sorry you saw all that," he said as he dropped his head.

Honey shook her head, "It's ok. You had a shock...well a couple of shocks I suppose."

Cal gave her a half hearted smile, "You could say that. How's Ethan?"

"He's probably asleep now. He sent me after you, but it looked like he was ready to sleep for England!"

Cal glanced towards the hospital anxiously, "He's going to be alright Cal," the young woman assured him.

"I know," he sighed, "But when you called...it was bad enough knowing he had been stabbed - seeing him in Resus again, it's only a few months since the crash and I nearly lost him then! Now this. What has he done to deserve all this? It's all my fault as usual! I let my heart rule my head again - and yet again I made Ethan suffer..." he trailed off as emotion began to close his throat.

Honey laid a hand on his arm, "I know that things haven't always been great between you two, Ethan told me, but he also told me that you were both working really hard at being brothers and friends again and he was loving every minute of it."

"Then I went and ruined it all once again! How could I have been so stupid, so selfish..." Cal ran a hand through his hair, clearly upset.

"He phoned me you know, after he found out about the money. He was angry and upset - but more than that, he was heartbroken that you had thought that your only option was to take the money from him. I know you asked him to help out and he refused, but after we talked for a while, he realised that you had really fallen in love with Taylor and that he should have found a way to support and help you."

"But I should've respected his decision, but instead I once again put a woman before my brother," Cal muttered, sadly.

"After Ethan phoned me, I came back," Honey carried on, "I knew he would regret it if he pushed you away, even if he didn't at the time. We talked and he came to realise how much you must be hurting with everything that had happened and he told me that he should be supporting you not pushing you away, which is how we came to be at the shop tonight..."

Cal looked at her curiously, tears still glistening in his eyes. Honey leaned in and wiped a stray tear from his face, "Ethan had decided that he was going to have a 'making things right with my brother' night - his words," Honey giggled as she recalled the earnest look on Ethan's face once he had made up his mind, "He was buying all your favourite snacks, sweets and beer ready for a dvd night. He wanted to make things right with you...then Taylor turned up."

Honey now had to stop talking as flashbacks from earlier in the night assaulted her. This time Cal laid a comforting hand on her arm, "What happened Honey?"

"We were just coming out of the shop whey she just seemed to appear. Ethan was so shocked, he thought she was still in custody. She began shouting at the top of her voice about how it was all Ethan's fault that she had been arrested - if he hadn't got the police involved when he noticed the money missing, then they never would have got her. Ethan tried to keep calm and explain that what she did was wrong, not just the money but the way she treated you. He told her that you loved her deeply...but she just laughed as told him that that had been the plan as it was just to easy to get the money then. Ethan was shocked to hear that, then he began to get angry...not something you see every day from Ethan," a tear then made its way down Honey's tired face, "She just lunged at him Cal. When she moved away you could see the blood. I screamed and a couple of men from the shop came out and got Taylor and called the police. I looked at Ethan as he started to sink to the ground...I'll never forget the look of shock and disbelief on Ethan's face and how he clung to me as he fell to the ground." She began to cry as Cal pulled her into a close embrace. She sobbed into his chest as he let silent tears track down his cheeks. He had been so close to losing his brother again...it was to much.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, then Honey lifted her head as she wiped her tears away, "I'm sorry...it's been a long night."

Cal wiped his own tears away, "It's fine...why are you smiling?"

Honey hadn't realised that she had started to smile until that moment, "I was just remembering that through all the stuff that happened, as we were sat in the ambulance on our way here, all Ethan could talk about was how upset you would be when you found out what had happened and who had caused it."

Cal put his head in his hands, trying desperately not to cry again. Through all the trauma, his little brother was still more worried about his feelings, "I don't deserve him," he whispered.

"Everyone deserves a second chance Cal - Ethan knew that."

"Honey I've had more than my fair share of second chances, particularly where Ethan is concerned."

"Look at me Cal," she ordered, waiting until the young doctor did just that, "You will always get another chance with Ethan. You are all you've got left and he loves you. He wants you in his life, even if he doesn't always tell you that. It's as plain as day to me!"

Cal lowered his head once more as tears threatened to overwhelm him again.

Suddenly Honey grabbed his hand, "Right, come on, no more tears. Let's get back to Ethan before he wakes up and tears the hospital apart looking for us!"

Cal chuckled as he allowed the smaller woman to pull him to his feet. As they walked steadily towards the hospital, Cal looked at her, "He's lucky to have you Honey."

Honey looked embarrassed, "Officially he hasn't 'got me' yet!"

They both laughed as they disappeared back into the hustle and bustle of the busy hospital, conspiring to make sure that Ethan really did find his Honey.

That ending was perhaps a little bit cheesy, buy hey, it's fan fiction!

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hope Ethan is going to be supportive of his brother, should the worst happen with Taylor, obviously once he's got over the shock and insane anger he's going to feel when he does find out about the money! We will see.

Thank you for reading.
