Chapter 6:
Valuable Gossip
The resus doors swung shut and Addy relaxed onto the pillows behind her and squeezed her eyes shut. So much had happened in such a short time. She had woken up that morning an only child living in a single parent family, she would be going home the next day to a new mum, a little brother and sister and in the near future she would be a big sister -again. She could hear whispers outside the doors as Mr Jordan strode in and gave her a smile.
"Ignore them they're just being nosey."
"Oh I don't mind," Addy replied, "I just wished they wouldn't stare, I wouldn't care if they asked me stuff."
Jordan laughed, "If they heard that you would never be left alone." The girl gave a one armed shrug. "Have it your way then Miss Trueman." He paused for a second, "Kelsey, Jay don't you know that staring is rude? If you want to know something I'm sure Miss Trueman will answer your questions - within decency of course." Kelsey and Jay edged through the door and smiled at the little girl.
"Hey," Kelsey spoke first and Addy waved back and Kelsey continued. "So how long you been a secret .. I mean, living with Adam." Addy giggled.
"3 weeks, did you notice anything or is this the first time you realised he had stopped going for drinks?" They both nodded at her. Addy eyed them seriously, "Anything else or are you just going to stand and stare?" Jay jumped slightly at the Adam-like come comment.
"So what's it like living with the famous Adam Trueman?"
"I like it, it's better than where I was before - not telling you where by the way - and he managed to get me into a better school, one near here, his family is the best though, my uncle Alex bought me an iPod Touch as a homecoming present and my Aunt Anna bought me like a shop full of clothes and shoes." Kelsey looked at Jay wondering how he had got an answer like that from the girl. She took a deep breath trying to think of something that would lead to valuable gossip.
"Is there any truth in the rumour that your dad is the father of a nurse that works here's baby?" Addy took a breath as she went to respond but a wave of pain ripped through her rib cage and she cried out clutching her side. Jordan was over in seconds.
"What's wrong?" She pushed harder on her side, "Let me take a look." He prised her hands away examined her side, "Kelsey, we need an x-ray Jay find doctor Truman and tell him to get his backside in here. I don't care what he's doing. Addy you need to stay very still for me" The girl's breathing became difficult and faster.
"Can't breath, help me," Kelsey placed a mask over her mouth and nose and patted her head.
"Everything's going to be fine Addy, Mr Jordan will make everything better." Suddenly she was panicking,
"I want my dad! I want my dad!" She started coughing and the room stood still as the machine next to her stopped its comforting rhythm.
"She's arrested, get her on her back, Kelsey bag her," Jordan yelled out orders while he began chest compressions and more nursing staff ran into the room, "Tess, I need adrenaline, Jay any luck finding doctor Trueman?" Everyone was running around and Jay called back over the madness,
"I can't find him anywhere. I'll have to page him."
Elsewhere …
The resus doors swung shut behind him as Adam hurried off to find Jessica. Like promised she was waiting in the staffroom. She no longer had tears running down her cheeks and she looked so happy. She had changed out of her scrubs and her bump was much more noticeable. Adam smiled at her,
"My keys are in my office, want to come?" She nodded and followed him through the ED and up to his office. He unlocked the door and held it open for Jessica. She smiled gratefully,
"Thank you for letting us stay with you, though if I remember correctly you live in a one bedroom flat." she raised an eyebrow at him and he laughed at her.
"Well in the past three weeks I have moved into a new five bedroom house, which is in fact to big for two people to live in, but Addy chose it and I couldn't resist her pleading eyes. Anyway it's on the new Barrett estate, just around the corner from where I used to live, you cant miss it, I live on Starachan Grove, number 7."Jessica laughed at him,
"Three weeks and she's already ruined. So sleeping arrangements wont be a problem?" She edged ever closer to him.
"Nope, Lucas can have his own room and Amelia can have her own room as well. And you can choose either to sleep in the last spare room or in the deluxe room in the roof master bedroom." He moved closer as well.
"As inviting as the spare room sounds I'd much rather be with you." She moved onto her tip toes and kissed him gently on the lips. He responded eagerly and leaned back against his desk wrapping his arms around her. The kiss seemed to last forever but was interrupted by a loud beeping sound. Adam sighed,
"Damn pager," He reached for it,
GET TO RESUS NOW. ITS URGENT.
He handed Jessica the keys,
"I have to go but I'll see you when I get home. Something's wrong,"
He ran from the room in a panic leaving a worried Jessica to wonder what was going on.
