Writing in Italics doesn't belong to me, it belongs to series 23 episode 17.

Lindaandrewsfan: Thank you for the review.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 168.

Adam's POV.

I wasn't ready to be a dad, I was far from it.

As I laid eyes on Jessica, who was lying on the RESUS bed, sobbing quietly to herself in pain, several words stuck in my mind.

"She's 5 months pregnant "

That meant my colleagues baby could be mine, I had to find out.

I headed to ultrasound where Jessica and Sean were looking at a scan.

"Adam " Jess smiled.

"Hey " I replied, standing awkwardly in the doorway. "How you feeling?"

"I'm fine " She replied, quietly.

"Good " I said. I hated seeing any of my patients in pain, but as soon as I heard her name, I knew I should have protected her; Sean wouldn't have harmed her, he said he loved her, but she wasn't happy, even though she never told me, I could tell.

"Jessica, you have to tell me, I need to know if this is mine "

"No, no, it isn't. There now you know " I knew then that she was lying, but Sean appeared and he didn't look happy that I was in close proximity to her, never mind the fact I was sleeping with her.


The two of us were now living together in a detached house, which I had brought when I first arrived in Holby, with the addition of Jess's new baby, Harry. I still didn't know if he was mine, but I couldn't leave her on a violent estate.

She was still on Maternity Leave, but she was bringing Harry in to see Tess, Charlie, Zoe and me.

"Lucas, oh, Lucas " She said, spotting who she thought was her son. Only it wasn't him.

I ran out. "Jessica, are you alright?"

"Yeah I just yeah"

I hugged her. "Hey, hey, hey, we will get them back even if I have to go and kidnap them myself. "

Jessica scoffed. "Don't you think I've thought of that? Sean could be anywhere. We don't know where they are "

I hugged her again, placing a kiss in her hair. I hated Sean, why did he have to take her kids away?

We went inside the ED, heading up to my office. I worked on some paperwork while Jess sat on the sofa, getting a magazine out of her bag that Zoe had leant her, it was "Grazia "

"Ready to go?" I asked, I had finally finished my paperwork.

"OK" She answered, standing up and putting the magazine in the basket underneath the pram.

We waited for the lift and travelled down in silence. We walk out to the car park after saying goodnight to Tess, Zoe and Charlie and I unlock my car. I collapsed the pram and put it in as she put Harry in his seat.

I unlock the door and Jess disappears straight up the stairs.

She finished putting Harry to bed and come down, exhausted.

"Come here " I pulled her in to my arms, her head resting on my chest as her eyes began to close. I shake her, gently.

She stared up at me, sleep in her eyes. "Why don't we go to bed?" I suggested, holding out my hand.

"Sure " She agreed sleepily and I picked up my phone from the table, we both had the day off tomorrow and I was looking forward to it, I liked my job, I loved saving lives.

She comes out of the bathroom, her face devoid of make up.

Wrapping my arm around my partners waist, I see a smile tug on her lips as she realises that I'm holding her and that she's safe. She rests her head on my chest, feeling my heart beat.

Harry cries, a few hours later. Jessica makes to get out of bed.

"I've got him " I tell her and kiss her forehead. "Shush " He stops crying and I lay him back down, getting back in to bed.


Breakfast is on the table, the next morning, Jess knows what a terrible cook I am, but she comes down, in her dressing gown, hair hanging in waves on her shoulders. She sits down on the chair, cutting in to the omelette that I made her.

"We'll be alright " I hug her from behind and she relaxes in to my hold.

She inhales my scent. "I know "


Just some randomness, this is what happens when I'm bored, haha. Adam; hints at him and Jess.
