Author's Notes; thank you yet again for your amazing reviews which make my day and I am pleased that you liked the last chapter. I thought I would do Ella being nice one minute then change to mean the next just like a normal teenager when she is with friends. I just wanted to add that I am not in the medical profession so I apologise that there may be mistakes and doesn't make that much sense but I will try my best. I hope this chapter is good and that you will like it.
"I need some help here please" Zoe called as she was holding on to Ella and her work colleagues came rushing over as they saw Ella faint and fall to the floor.
Big Mac came rushing over and lifted her into his arms and carried her into resus and placed her on a bed. Zoe followed closely behind as she was still in shock.
"Right can we get a line in please Tess" Zoe Asked as she shown a light into Ella's eyes to see if there were any signs of her waking up. Tess nodded and did as she was asked.
Linda left Britney who had fallen asleep and came rushing into resus as she heard that Ella had fainted.
"Oh god, Zoe I am so sorry" Linda said as she came rushing over to help. Zoe ignored Linda's last comment and barked an order at her.
"Get full blood gas please Linda "Zoe decided to add please because it wasn't Linda's fault that Ella was laying in the bed before them both unconscious.
Lind nodded and did as she was told. Zoe stayed by her daughter and held her hand and removed lose strands of hair form her face.
"Oh god Ella what happened to you" Zoe asked quietly as she stroked Ella's cheek.
"She is stable and her Gcs 6 and she is tachy Cardic maybe an ECG?" Charlie asked as she placed a hand on Zoe's shoulder as comforting gesture.
"What, oh yeah of course" Zoe nodded as she could hardly speak at the moment.
"What the hell am I going to tell your father" Zoe said to Ella as she let a few tears fall.
Tess came over and placed her arm around Zoe who just broke down and cried her eyes out.
A couple of hours later Zoe was pacing back and forwards by Ella's bed as she waited patiently for her baby girl to wake up.
"Zoe you need to take a break your driving us crazy and your driving yourself crazy pacing like that" Charlie said as took the notes of the bottom of Ella's bed and checked that everything is alright and placed it back at the bottom of the bed. Zoe just ignored Charlie and continued to pace.
An hour or so later Zoe was at the sink washing away the sick on her top in the resus standing with Charlie and Tess who were doing checks on equipment and when they all heard coughing and rushed over to Ella's bed to see that she was slowly waking up.
"M...u...m" Ella managed to say but her voice was a little raspy and dry.
"Yes I am here sweetheart" Zoe took hold of Ella's hand and held it tight.
"What Happened, why am I here" Ella said as she took in her surroundings and looked at her arm which and a Iv line in.
"You fainted and were out for a while" Zoe said tenderly as she didn't want to frighten her.
The resus doors swung open with such force to reveal a fuming looking Nick as he stormed over to where Zoe was and saw that Ella was in hospital bed with an IV line in.
"What the hell happened Zoe, you were meant to be looking after" Nick whispered as he didn't want to argue in front of Ella Nick stood next to Zoe and placed his arm around her but Zoe pushed it off
As she clearly was annoyed as Nick was accusing her of not looking after Ella so she walked off to calm down but stopped because Ella called out "Mum don't leave" Ella held out her hand for Zoe to come back and hold.
Nick gave Zoe a "we will talk about this later" Sort of look which Zoe was not looking forward to as she knew they will end up shouting.
"What happened Ella, can you remember?" Nick asked as he covered Ella's free had with his own.
"Well I only remember wondering around on my break with Britney and then we ..." Ella paused as she was too worried to say the next bit.
"It's ok I won't get angry I promise" Nick said as placed a kiss on the top of Ella's head.
"Ok ... Well we both found some gas and we took turns of trying it and then Big Mac found us and took us to mum and Linda but then I don't remember the rest and I have to say my vision was all blurry anyway and then I woke up here" Ella looked at both her parents as they both hadn't said anything.
"Alright sweetheart thank you for telling us the truth"
"Mum I'm sorry I didn't mean to do any of that but I wanted Britney to like me" Ella looked at Zoe who did not look happy.
"Alright sweetheart I shall forgive you but you have to promise that you will not do anything like that again because you worried me sick and lucky Big Mac found you both as it would have been highly dangerous if you carried on with the gas"
"Ok I promise and I'm sorry mum and sorry dad, I am going to die?" Ella said rather worried.
"No of course you won't and it was thanks to your mother's quick thinking that you are ok" Nick said as he looked at Zoe who raised an eyebrow.
"I am sorry but I am going to have to go as I am due at a meeting right but I will check on you when I am finished alright" Nick placed a kiss on Ella cheek and walked over the other side to were Zoe was and he Kissed Zoe on her cheek and walked away.
Linda came back into the room with a nervous Britney who stood gobsmacked as she saw Ella lying in a hospital bed.
"Britney has something she would like to say to you both" Linda shoved Britney forward.
"I am sorry Dr Hanna for making Ella do all those things and I am sorry Ella that I have gotten you into trouble and that you are in that bed because of me" Britney looked down as she was too embarrassed.
" It's alright Britney , you didn't make me do any of that, I did it because I wanted to and I could of said no but I wanted you to like me" Ella said as she smiled at Britney who was smiling back.
"I already liked you Ella even though I never showed it"
"Thank you for apologising I appreciate that"
"I am sorry Zoe for everything that happened today" Linda said as she felt she had hurt her good friend.
"It's alright and the main thing is that Ella is ok" Zoe smiled at Linda who gave a weak smile back.
A couple of hours later Zoe said it was alright for Ella to be discharged so they both decided to call it a day and left the ED. Zoe text Nick. Nick, I said Ella could be discharged as her results came back clear and ok so picking Savannah up and then heading home. Love you Zo. Xxxx Nick text Zoe back straight away.
Zo, I am sorry for getting angry with you earlier but I was in shock, Love you
Early the next day
Ella was at school waiting for her turn to give her report on her day following her mother.
Zoe was working today and Nick had the day off as he had to work the evening shift so Nick gave Zoe full excess to his office for the day to finish of unfinished paper work when a video appeared on the screen so Zoe clicked on the link.
Hi, my name is Ella Jordan, my mum is Dr Hanna and she works as clinical doctor in Holby General. I bet you think you know what my mum does, that she just treats people for a living .that's what I thought too, but I was wrong, It's like putting together a puzzle sometimes, there's just one piece that won't fit and if that's all my mum did, put a puzzle together, that'd be really cool, but it's not. I think it is safe to say that my mum is determined to be the best at what she does and she's very committed to the job. She goes home at night just like everybody else, but t she never really stops. They do a lot of different things at the hospital but they all have one goal: to find out what happened so that the right person is held accountable. I finally understand what my mother does and I am proud to be her daughter.
A single tear rolled down Zoe's cheek and at that moment Zoe knew she was very proud of her eldest daughter.
