Extreme Takeover, Holby Edition

Their parents ran the hospital during their life, and now that they're older, it's their turn.

Pairings are Jac/Joseph, Maddy/Linden, Connie/Sam, Diane/Ric and Chrissie/Olly.

Everyone together...

It was Friday night, and everyone was gathered in the bar for a quick drink, and a chat about the big family get together tomorrow.

'I'll get the drinks in,' said Chris.

'Nice one!' yelled Jayden enthusiastically.

'What's everyone having?' asked Chris.

'Can I have a glass of red wine please?' asked Grace.

'Me too please,' said Juliet.

'And me,' said Olivia.

'Me too please Chris,' said Cassidy.

'Oh, and me,' asked Serena.

'Right then,' said Chris. 'A bottle will do then. How about everyone else? Beer for all the men, right?'

'You know us too well,' remarked Taylor.

'Could I have a double vodka and coke?' asked Erin.

'Can I have a vodka and orange?' asked Callie.

'And can I have an apple juice?' asked Adelaide.

'Right, 5 red wines, 7 beers, a vodka and coke, a vodka and orange and an apple juice?' he asked, to receive nods from everyone.

Going to the bar, he bought all of the drinks and got Fin to help bring them over on 2 small trays. Handing them out, he sat down and took a long drag of his beer.

'Right...' he said slowly. 'Saturday evening, at my mother in laws/your mothers/your aunts, whatever. Anyone looking forward to it?'

As some of them nodded their heads, most of the younger children shook their heads viciously.

'Grow up guys,' said Grace. 'We're all friends and family. And I don't know about you, but I want to catch up with my nieces and nephews.'

'You seem awfully keen to go to this thing,' remarked Max.

'Well...' said Grace. 'I haven't seen Mum and Dad for ages, and I miss Liliana, Charlotte, Cameron, Tristan, Isla, Tilly, Leo, Megan, Rose, Scott, Scarlett, Liam and Asher.'

'Ahh,' said Taylor. 'You won't be seeing Megan, Rose, Scarlett, Scott and Liam. Teri hasn't let me see Megan and Rose since they were born, so at age 13 they have to sneak out to see their dad. How pathetic. Liam and Scott I see occasionally, when Georgina's in a good mood. And Paula, she's the most bearable of my ex wives, I see Scarlett more than everyone else.'

'It's sad really,' said Harry.

'Yeah,' said Adelaide, agreeing with her husband. 'To have 5 beautiful children and only be able to see one of them when you want to.'

'I miss having young children around,' said Grace sombrely. 'Katie's 16 now, and even though we have some girly times, she's always out with her friends and her boyfriend, I hardly ever see her. And Michael, well, he is more trouble than his namesake. I'm always scared that he'll turn out to be the lothario that both of the Michael's were.'

'Why name them after such irresponsible role models?' asked Fin.

'Mum's first husband Michael was always kind to me, he sent me Christmas presents every year. And Michael Spence, well, we used to have a laugh together when I used to work here on the weekends,' she said.

'You know what I think? Having children just clouds the mind,' said Olivia.

'It's a blessing,' said Juliet. 'Being a parent is the hardest job in the world. You manage to get through raising them, raising them well, it's the best feeling in the world.'

'How you and I came to be twins I have no idea,' remarked Olivia.

'I'd love to be pregnant again,' said Grace quietly. 'But it's impossible now.'

The whole room went quiet, trying to forget what Grace went through from trying to protect a patient. How that bastard took away her ability to have children.

'We'll find a way sweetheart,' said Chris, squeezing his wife's shoulder.

'Anyway,' said Max, interrupting the silence. 'Guess who just showed up! Serena, David and little Asher are here!'

'Awwww, my little nephew!' exclaimed Callie. 'Technically my only nephew, hint hint Max settle down.'

'I will when you will,' stated Max.

'But I want to. And hope I will soon,' said Callie quietly, looking over to where Taylor was.

Leaning over to Taylor, Cassidy said, 'She definitely has your eye on you there bro.'

'Get in there Griffin!' exclaimed Jayden.

'Grow up Jay,' said Erin, making Jayden grow quiet again.

'Now what the hell happened between the two of you?' demanded Serena.
