Writing this while I was watching the British Soap Awards last night!
CasualtyFanForever- Prompt 18 will be the next Ethan and Lilly chapter. And I have a few more ideas which were prompted for future Ethan and Lilly chapters, I just find these two cute. This was prompted by Tam Jaspie and the prompt was: Sam is discharged from hospital but is left scared when one of the babies stop breathing, will it live? Read on to find out.
I think I'm going to take a break from this story, for a while as I think I'm updating it too fast and as a result, I feel like I'm neglecting my other account and the stories on there.
The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 17
Sam had barely left the neonatal unit, only to use the toilet and to get a drink, but now, after 3 months of having help with their breathing little Ben and Lilly Kent were coming home and Sam and Tom couldn't be happier. Tom lifted the first car - seat on to the bed as Sam handed him Ben and he secured him in the car seat as Sam quickly put her hair up and took hold of Lilly's car seat and she followed Tom out of the private room they'd had for the night. Away from prying eyes.
He drove them home and Sam rested her head against the headrest and kept looking at her babies. She was in awe of them.
Pulling in to the drive of their apartment Sam opened her eyes and stretched her arms.
"Are you OK?" Tom asked,walking in to the living room, where Sam was breastfeeding Lily. Tom quickly looked away as she nodded and did her top back up.
"Ben's not breathing " Sam said frantically as she looked at her unconscious baby, limp in her arms.
"This is Ben Kent, a day old " Sam informed Zoe carrying him to RESUS where she lay him on the bed and Zoe did a lumbar puncture t#o see if it was meningitis. Sam held her son's tiny hand while Tom had gone to get them both a coffee. Nodding gratefully she accepted the plastic cup and took a sip
Ben had been moved to ITU where he could be monitored closely and Tom and Sam followed and stepped in to the lift, her arm around her husband's waist and she rested her head on his shoulder.
Ben was bare in a nappy as Sam watched their son being prodded on the table. She hated not being told anything about her child's welfare; she was his mother she deserved to know.
"Are you OK?". Tom asked.
Sam sighed as an answer rubbing her eyes. She was tired. She noticed that Tom's arms were empty. "Where's Lily?" She suddenly asked
"She's fine " Tom said, yawning. The father of two was already finding the sleepless nights hard and it was only his first day, at being a father!
Sam nodded watching as the door to ITU opened and she stepped back, bracing herself for bad news. Which she was convinced she was about to get.
"Mr and Mrs Kent?" The female doctor asked.
Sam quickly nodded.
"We have Ben's test results back "
"And?" Sam said impatiently. God, she hated waiting.
"It's not meningitis " The doctor informed them.
"Good " Said Tom, holding Sam close as she looked up.
"It's most likely a viral infection " The doctor continued to talk.
"OK " Tom said, watching the doctor walk off through the doors and the couple went to spend some time with their son and daughter, as a family.
Next prompt: Following the explosion at the restaurant, Ethan finds himself in a wheelchair for a few months and is in for a further shock when an ex - girlfriend shows up. Does the guest who prompted this chapter want it to a own character or a woman past or present from the ED?
