Had almost forgotten about this update.

For this chapter Tom and Sam don't have their twins, Ben and Lily.


The Secret Life Of Casualty

Chapter 116.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Tom questioned, him and his wife Sam, had been married for almost 2 - years - now and they were still going strong.

Recently, clinical lead Zoe, had got in to touch as two new positions had come up at Holby and Zoe knew that Tom and Sam would be perfect.

Sam nodded. "I'm sure Tom "

"Good " Tom replied as he loaded the boxes in to the car. Sam picked her handbag up and followed him out, to the car. They got in and Tom started the engine and they started the drive.

They spent the night in a hotel, cuddled up to each other.


It didn't take them long to reach Holby in the morning and, after a well earned, rest, they were rearing to go.


"Sam, Tom, welcome back " Zoe was standing outside the ED, waiting to greet the new/ old arrivals.

"Thanks Zoe " Sam said as the two women hugged and then they went to get changed in to scrubs, Zoe had given them each easy cases to help them settle in.


Tom thought his first shift back and it was, at first; he was getting to know the hospital again, reintroducing himself to old and new members of the team and grabbing lunch with Jay and, Sam with Lily.

"Tom, Sam" Zoe put her head around the staff room door. "I'm sorry to interrupt your lunch hour, but a case has come in and we need your help "

"Sure " Tom answered as him and Sam got up, walked out and headed to the incoming stretcher.

"This is Andréa, 60, involved in an RTC, Bp 60/ 90... " Everything else that Dixie was saying, paled in to numbness for Tom, as he stared at the elderly lady on the stretcher.

For Tom, the world had stopped. For a moment, he was 8 again, enjoying his childhood, getting muddy and, not tidying his room.

"Tom?" Sam asked, confused by her husbands silence. "What's wrong?"

"That's my foster mum, Andréa " Tom explained, Sam knew nothing about her husbands parents.

Sam nodded and squeezed his hand, they both knew you couldn't treat family members.

"She raped me when I was 8, " Tom later confided in her.

"Oh, Tom " Sam's heart broke as she held her husband tightly.


He was angry, he hit the wall, ignoring the throbbing pain that it sent shooting through his hand.

"There you are, " Sam stated.

"I'm fine Sam " Tom told her.

"I know, I just want you to know I'm here "

Before, he knew what he was doing, the doctor had raised his hand and hit her across the face.

Sam looked at him, in shock.

"Sam, I'm sorry "

Sam had sworn to herself that she would leave Tom if he ever hit her.

"Sam, please don't go " Tom begged as he squeezed her hands.

Sam felt like she had to go, maybe one day, she could learn to forgive him, but for now, she knew he had to learn that she wasn't his paunch bag. She packed her bags and stayed in a hotel, ignoring all of Tom's "I'm sorry, it won't happen again" texts. She knew that if he had done it once by accident, he could do it again on purpose and she couldn't risk that.


I know I've done a similar chapter where Tom hit out at Sam, but recently I had this idea on my mind and I decided to write it.

Next chapter: Zoe meets an old university friend as she prepares to renew her vows with Max.
