A&E

Lee had been silent since the police had left him. He knew Wendy and Geoffrey would be on the way to the hospital. The last thing he remembered was talking to Wendy on the phone, telling her to forget the wedding rehearsal and to get to St Mary's A&E as soon as she could. Now he was sat in the corridor outside the resus room waiting for news.

"Lee!" He looked up to see his future father in law appear with Wendy and Daisy.

"Hello." He looked away.

"What happened?" Geoffrey left no room for argument. Lee looked up to see Wendy had been crying and Geoffrey was clearly trying to hold on to his self control. "What happened to my little girl?"

"The doctors are going to talk to us once she's stable." Lee swallowed hard. "She was driving to work, the lorry hit her. She didn't have a chance."

"Where is the driver!" Geoffrey snapped.

"It was an accident."

"Lee, I won't ask again."

"The morgue, so I don't think he's going to give you any more answers than I can. The police think he was either having a heart attack or massive stroke when he hit Lucy. The firemen cut her from the car before the ambulance got her here." Wendy sat down before she fell down.

"That poor man's family."

"He didn't mean to hurt anyone." Lee sighed.

"Have you seen her?" Daisy was strangely calm as she thought of her best friend. The ditziness gone. Lee shook his head.

"The nurse said they've had to do X-rays and blood tests. That her." His voice broke. "Her lung was punctured in the accident and she stopped breathing. They had." He broke down openly crying as Daisy got to her feet.

"Daisy?"

"I'm going to call Tim. He needs to come home. Now." She pulled her mobile out of her jacket pocket as she walked away.

"She's tougher than she looks." Wendy sighed.

"Living with our Tim, she needs to be."

"I was referring to Lucy. Lee, my little girl is strong."

"Yeah." Lee wiped his eyes, nodding. "But lorries are a lot stronger than any little car." He got to his feet as a doctor in green scrubs appeared.

"Family of Lucy Adams?"

"Yeah." Lee got to his feet. Geoffrey visibly paled as Daisy returned.

"Dr? This is Lucy's mum and dad. Her fiancé, Lee and I'm her sister in law. Sort of. That's a funny term 'in law'. Like it's illegal not to be."

"Daisy." Lee raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry. How's Lucy?"

"Maybe we should sit down."

"I don't need to sit down." Lee rocked on his heels. "I need to see Lucy. I need to know."

"Lucy is very poorly." The young doctor ushered them into the family room. "Lucy isn't allergic to anything? Doesn't take any medication?"

"No." Wendy sighed. "She's always been very healthy. A little bit of hay fever in the summer. She had her tonsils out when she was ten." She gripped Geoffrey's hand as she spoke. The older man remained quiet.

"Ok, well we have given her a lot of painkillers. She's also had antibiotics. Her left lung collapsed and she developed something called a pneumohaemothorax. Blood and air in the space where her lung collapsed. We've put a drain in for that. Her leg is broken. She also has a head injury, multiple fractures to her ribs and my colleagues have preformed a scan to see if there is any bleeding in her abdomen." He watched as Wendy cried.

"Is she awake?" Daisy asked.

"No. We've put her into a medically induced coma. She's very very poorly.".

"They did that to you, Lee when the car hit you." Daisy watched as Lee nodded.

"I have to ask. When the nurses cut her clothes away Lucy had a donor card in her purse."

Geoffrey swore as Wendy sobbed. Lee nodded. He knew about the card, he had one too.

"Can I see her? Please?" Lee asked as the doctor nodded.

"Of course. One at a time I'm afraid." Wendy got to her feet, hugging Lee tightly.

"You go. Tell her we all love her." She stepped back. "Daisy, call the vicar. Explain what's happened. Geoffrey call Tim, tell him you'll meet him at the airport. Lee! Go with the doctor." Lee nodded before following the younger man.

Tim threw his bag over his shoulder. He felt sick, Lucy had always been the one that looked out for him. She was the clever, sensible one. His father's phone call had done nothing to reassure him. Walking towards the check in at the airport hoping against hope that he would see his sister up and about as normal as soon as he got to London. He had a feeling he wouldn't.

Lee swallowed hard, the figure in the bed was covered in drips, drains and bandages. Her face was bruised and she had a tube going into her mouth, controlling her breathing. Another tube snaked into the drop on her hand while another tube fed into her right arm, a drain hung from the side of her chest, draining blood and fluid away.

"Luce." He blinked back tears. "Hiya. You have us all a scare." He reached out to touch her but his hand hovered above here. "Docs reckon you're doing ok. You broke a few bones, you're going to be fine. Just wake up." He touched her hand. "Please, Lucy." He muttered. "Just wake up."

A/N will she? Can Lee be there for her if she does? Since when did Daisy get so sensible? Please review
