Author's Note: Thank you yet again for your wonderful reviews which I truly love getting in my inbox and that really makes my day. I'm glad that you liked the build up chapter to this one and I hope you will like this one. All mistakes are my own which I apologise if there are several mistakes and I will try to change them when I get the time. Well I hope you enjoy. In this story I have put Linda's niece Britney at the same age as Ella which is 10/11 years old which I know in casualty she is much older.
Thank you once again to all my faithful readers who always review when I've just updated. God bless you all and you know who you are.
Ella woke up to a miserable rainy day but that did not dampen her mood as she was super excited to be working with her mother and she did not want to let her mother down by breaking the rules and not touching and break anything like she used to when she was little and she had to come to work with her parents as they couldn't get a baby sitter.
Ella stretched and yawned as she looked at the time on her hello kitty alarm clock which read 7:30am and she jumped out of bed and rushed to her wardrobe and started looking through her clothes for something to wear today. Ella spent 20 minutes trying on clothes and finally decided on dark blue skinny jeans and flowery greenish top with flat green ballet slipper type shoes. Ella was pleased with her choice and sat on her bed and watched a bit of TV.
Savannah heard Ella rummage through her clothes as she wasn't particularly quite and so she rushed into her room and saw that Ella had picked out an outfit and not her school uniform.
"Why aren't you going to wear your uniform to school today, does that mean I can wear what I want?" Savannah asked as she sat on Ella's unmade bed.
"No silly, I am going to work with mum today while you are at school that's why I am not going to be wearing my uniform" Ella laughed at her younger sister as she was really cute sometimes when they weren't fighting.
Nick woke up to find the house nice and quiet which was weird as Ella and Savannah were usually at each other throats and that woke him and Zoe in the morning. Nick looked to his left to see that Zoe was fast asleep. The sight of Zoe sleeping peacefully Nick took a few moments to look at the amazing woman next to him. After a few moments Zoe began to stir and she opened her eyes to find Nick looking up at her which made her smile.
"Morning Zo" Nick kissed Zoe
"Were you watching me sleep again Nick you weirdo "Zoe laughed
"I was and I can't help it you're so beautiful"
"Oh shut up you big softy" Zoe kissed Nick as she stretched.
A few moments later Nick and Zoe were up and making breakfast for the big day ahead of them.
"Morning girls "Nick said as he saw the girls sitting at the dining table eating their breakfast quietly
"Morning dad" Ella said before she took a mouthful of cereal
"Morning daddy" Savannah said as she smiled at her father.
"Right Ella, today you are meant to be following me round and I wanted to say I want to on your best behaviour and no aggravating the patients do you understand" Zoe said sternly in her doctor voice she used at work.
"Ok Mum and yes I understand" Ella rolled her eyes at her mother in annoyance.
"Mum, can I come to work with you and dad like Ella" Savannah pleaded
"Oh sweetheart you can't come yet you're not old enough "Zoe said tenderly
They all finished their breakfasts and decided to get ready. Ella and Savannah went to their rooms and got changed. Zoe and Nick took their turns in having a quick shower. Zoe picked a nice smart green and grey dress with a nice pair of high heels like always.
Finally everyone was ready to go. All 4 Jordan's left the house; Nick took Savannah to school whilst Zoe took Ella with her. Zoe parker her mini cooper in her reserved space and turned the engine off and they both got out of the car Zoe locked it and took hold of Ella's hand and they walked into the ED together and was greeted by everyone.
"Hi everyone, this is mine and Nick's eldest daughter Ella if any of you didn't know already" Zoe said as she put her arm around Ella's shoulders.
Ella said a shy "Hello" to everyone as she was rather nervous as everyone was looking at her.
"Are you here to see what your mother does and then do a report about it?" Tess asked as she smiled at Ella who nodded in agreement.
Linda came rushing in with her niece Britney closely behind her. Ella and Britney gave each other evils as they weren't sure of each other but Ella thought she was better because her mother was a doctor where as Linda was only a nurse.
"I know sorry I am late, oh this is my niece Britney if those of you don't know" Linda said as she looked at her niece with a huge smile.
"Why did you bring me here anyway, you're not my mother so why should I follow you round" Britney snapped in her strong scouse accent.
"Hey there's no need for that "Lenny shouted as he knew how Britney had been treating Linda since he started dating Linda.
Everyone stood in silence as they weren't sure what to say or do after Britney's out burst.
"Right come on Ella" Zoe directed Ella to the staffroom where Zoe opened her locker and placed her bag, coat and Ella's coat in her locker.
"Mum, why does that girl speak to Linda like that" Ella asked
"Oh, it's a long story" Zoe said as she shut her locker and placed her stethoscope round her shoulders.
"Right, we are just going to sit at reception for a few moments while I sort paper work, boring I know".
Ella and Zoe passed Linda and Britney as they headed for reception and Britney and Linda headed for resus. Britney stuck her tongue out at Ella who just gave Britney one of her father's glares at her as if to say "How childish".
Zoe sat on one of the stools and Ella sat beside her and watched as her mother filled out some paper work. Ella became bored and started spinning round on the stool which caught big Mac's attention and Ella jumped off the stool and walked over to Big Mac with a bored look on her face. Zoe was in to her paper work that she did not notice Ella had left her.
"Hey what's that face for?" Big Mac asked as Ella leant on the side of the desk.
"How am I meant to tell others what my mother does when all she's doing is paper work" Ella whined.
"I might as well of been following dad"
"I know but, that's how it works here and until something comes in most doctors finish their paper work and I am sure that something will come a long" Big Mac said as he walked off leaving Ella standing there looking round the reception area.
Nick arrived and looked to be in a bit of a hurry but he saw Zoe sitting at a desk at reception hoping Ella was doing ok.
"Where's Ella "Nick asked as he walked over to Zoe who said "she's right here" But Zoe panicked as Ella was nowhere to be scene.
"Ella "Zoe called and lucky enough Ella came rushing over.
"What the hell did I tell you a million times" Zoe said as she grabbed Ella's shoulders and shook her slightly to get a response from Ella which worked.
"I'm sorry but paper work was boring and I was talking to Big Mac before he had to go" Ella said.
"Don't wonder off again without telling your mother ok?" Nick said as he kissed Ella's head. Ella nodded in agreement.
Nick gave Zoe one of his faces as if to say don't let that happen again which angered Zoe and she let out a sigh as soon as Nick walked away. Ella's luck was changing as a new patient arrived who had been in a car accident that had broken her fibula and tibia of the right leg where the other car had crashed into the lady.
"Right, what have we got Dixie?" Zoe asked as she reached the trolley as they were wheeling her into resus. Ella followed her mother and watched her every move as began to treat the lady. Ella wondered over to the other side of the bed and stood closely to the lady's head and saw that she was conscious so she started to speak to her to try and get her to say her name for Zoe as no one knew her name as she didn't speak much English.
"Hola me nombre es Ella, cual es su nombre " Ella asked in Spanish in hope she might get something,which worked as the woman told Ella her name was Maria Fernandez .
Ella tried speaking in English again to see if Maria could understand.
"My mum is Dr Hanna and she is treating you now and she will look after you" Ella smiled and saw that Maria had understood her and smiled and held out her hand for Ella to hold.
Zoe was watching Ella closely while she was treating the lady and Zoe was taken back at how good Ella was with her patient.
"Mum, this lady is Maria Fernandez and she is Spanish" Ella beamed as she was rather proud of herself.
"Oh brilliant, well done sweetheart, Right everyone we have a name this is Maria Fernandez" Zoe told the staff who were helping her.
"Qunato anos Tienes?, eres un estudiante?" Ella asked Maria who told Ella that she is 25 years old and she was a student.
"Mum, Maria is 25 years old and a student if that helps" Ella said as she held on tight to Maria's hand and told " It's going to be fine and you are in good hands".
Zoe smiled at Ella as she was rather proud of her daughter at how brave and a caring young lady she was turning into right in front of her.
Sorry this isn't probably what you are expecting but I thought I would have a nice and caring Ella for once. I am sorry if any of you are Spanish and I have missed out things but this isn't my computer and I don't know how to change it to Spanish if you know what I mean lol. Ella will be naughty in the next chapter or the one after that so don't sorry and Britney will be in the next chapter encouraging Ella to play tricks and be naughty. You know what to do .P.s Ell a gets her spanish from school as she is studying the language for BUTTONS10 who asked.
