When they arrived Gemma was pulled out on a trolley and straight into A and E department where she was seen immediately.
"this is gemma 15, aborted her baby this morning only had one tablet, pulse is taccie, blood pressure is 70 over 100 no known allergies, shes had no medication just oxygen treatment"
The nurses nodded

"Okay, right we need to do an emergency c-section get the baby out and look at the womb too see where the issue is, 5mg adrenaline and nil by mouth, prep for theatre" Laura said

"nikki…leave it" tom said pulling her away "sorry"

"I know, why is it when things go right something has to go wrong every bloody time!" nikki sighed
"It will be okay Nikki"
"What would you know" Nikki suddenly snapped and walked out
Tom sighed to himself and got his phone out to call Michael.
"Hi Michael its me tom, apologies for calling late"

"I can when your in no fit state to look after holly" Tom stated which shut nikki up
"car keys?" nikki asked
"Why?"
"just give me the bloody car keys"

"Nikki please were trying to help" Christine stated
"your poison her, you hate me so your hate her" Nikki said
"Mommy says you're a witch" Holly said quietly
"Holly Christine isn't a witch I promise you" Michael said shooting an evil glare at nikki
"Why cant we just get on?"
"Because I cant stand your snotty ways" Nikki said "your sarky comments are horrible and you're a bully" Nikki said to Christine.
"that's not true?" Michael said
"she called mommy a whore…what is a whore?" Holly said repeating what she heard as they did at that age
