Connie Beauchamp's private life

by mimimealing

Connie and Zoe have been work enemies for a few months now. It never really clicked between them. the rest of the ED think she's a great doctor but not such a great person. But when daughter Grace is brought into the ED, Connie needs all the support she can get. So Dr Cal steps up, but does this support turn into a relationship? UPDATE: 22 Now up :)

It was rougly 2am and Cal was fast asleep in Connie's bed with his arms around her. Though Connie was far from asleep

Connie's POV

I lay awake in Cal's arms thinking about everything that's happened recently. Little Grace has become very ill and needs her mummy more than ever right now.

I cannot face seeing her little body everyday get smaller as the weeks pass due to the large amounts of insulin being drilled into her tiny frame.

Cal knows i'm finding it hard but not as hard as i'm really finding it to cause me sleepless nights.

I wriggled slowly and carefully out of his arms and made my way downstairs to Grace's room on the floor below.

I stood there in the middle of her room gazing around at her toys and her bed wishing that she could be in her bed fast asleep without any of this happen to her. Tears started to roll down my face.

I couldn't help but blame myself for what had happened, if they had caught it quicker none of this would've happened.

I sat down on her floor and sobbed ignoring the footsteps of Cal walking in my direction.

'Connie?' Cal asked as he crouched down beside Connie

Connie wanted to be alone but she needed Cal to help her.

'Baby, i'm right here whenever you're ready to talk' He whispered

Connie shook her head trying to dismiss Cal.

'Just take your time I'm not going anywhere.'

Connie started to breathe heavily having a panic attack due to the amount of stress shes under. Cal went behind Connie laying her head in his knees.

'Connie i need you to slow your breathing down for me.'

Connie carried on taking in short sharp bursts of air.

'Connie please, In for 3 and out 3.' he said calmly but professionally

Connie started to slow her breathing on Cal's command

'In for 3 1.. 2.. 3.. and out for 3 1.. 2.. 3..'

Connie soon resumed her natural breathing rate

'That's it good girl' Cal combed his hand through her hair

Connie reached out for his hand and Cal held onto it tightly

'I'm not going anywhere baby, I'm right here for you always' he kissed her forehead gently

After a while of getting Connie settled and calmer, Cal picked Connie up into his arms and carried her back upstairs and into bed where she soon quickly fell asleep on his chest.
