LindaAndrewsfan: Thank you for the review.

Casualty300: Thank you for the review.

Winnie The Pooh's Eeyore: Thank you for the review, here is the chapter where Linda falls.

Guest: Simple, don't read. I'm sorry if that came across as rude, but there's no need. I understand that people are allowed their opinions, but they are nicer ways of putting you didn't like it, instead of saying. "It was a bunch of crap" It is just uncalled for and rude. I do understand that Jessica may not have been everyone's favourite character, but she was mine. I have characters I've gone off/ characters I didn't like, one of them is in this chapter to be honest. I'd rather you didn't read it if you are going to say stuff like that.

Guest: Thank you for the review, that's fair enough not liking Jess, I'm not a massive fan of Linda, although, I did enjoy her when she sat by Jess's bedside, I also enjoyed her in the druggie storyline and I also liked her in the scene where she went out with Zoe.

As always, I don't own the characters, I just enjoy writing about them.

Any spelling or grammar mistakes are mine.


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 196.

Linda was back in Holby after a row with Denise, and Jessica had decided to returm to Holby as well, she had re - brought Adam's old house. Once, Jessica had found out that Linda was back, she had invited her old friend to stay with her, she gave her a key and told her to give her it back when she found a place of her own. Linda had told Jessica that she was pregnant by a guy in Liverpool, from a one - night stand. They had discussed her options and she told her she was keeping it. Jessica promised to support her.

Linda's flashback.

"I'm pregnant. " Linda said, looking at the stick which showed that she was 4 months gone, at 4 months your tummy was big as your baby needed room to grow.

"OK" Said Jessica as they moved in to the living room.

Jessica opened up her laptop and started researching, she had been pregnant 3 times herself, but this was Linda's first. And every child was different.

At 4 months, her unborn baby would be covered in a lawyer of thick hair called lanugo.

At 4 months, her baby would respond to her by kicking if she spoke to it.


Linda arrived home after a day at work, she decided to head upstairs for a shower.

She started to climb the stairs, feeling dizzy, when she lost her footing, she tried to grab on to the banister but it seemed out of reach as she continued to fall.

Linda screamed as she fell, it seemed to go on forever until she had landed at the bottom of the stairs..


Jessica unlocked the front door and walked inside, shutting the door behind her, she took off her coat and hung it up on the banister, she then noticed her friend lying motionless, she knelt down beside her and took her pulse, it was there, but weak. "Linda, can you hear me?" She asked.

No response.

Jessica rang for an ambulance and waited with her.

"Ambulance service" Jeff said and Jessica unlocked the door, allowing the paramedics to walk in. Jeff and Dixie walked in, and kneelt down by the stairs, Dixie put the cervical collar on Linda, then they placed the spinal board next to her, then she was log - rolled on to the board, then she was strapped down, they picked the board up, placing it on the stretcher and wheeling the stretcher outside, Jessica locking her front door before getting in to the ambulance with Linda.


"Zoe, it's Linda. " Jeff said, wheeling the stretcher inside. "We have a fall down the stairs, marked concussion and possible dislocated right elbow "

"RESUS " Said Zoe, as she looked at Linda, she looked pale behind the oxygen mask.

The stretcher was wheeled in to RESUS.

"Over on 3. " Jeff said as himself, Dixie, Zoe and Jess (even though she wasn't working that day) helped shift the spinal board over to the bed, Dixie and Jeff left and Zoe undid the frac pac and ordered an x - ray, the x - ray showed that the elbow was fractured, Linda refused the Entonox tube. Zoe took the elbow in to her own hands and pulled it in to place, Linda screamed, Zoe sent Jessica to get a splint, the splint which Linda would need was called a static splint which does not allow the elbow to move.

Zoe put her elbow in the cast by using her uninjured elbow, she extended it from her armpit to her knuckles, she folded over any bit that she didn't need. She formed a "C" curve down the whole length of the splint. She bent the edges. She put it on Linda's elbow and secured the straps. She then secured the sling, tying it around her shoulder.

Linda winced.

"Are you OK?" Jessica asked, looking at her in concern.

Zoe pulled back the bed sheets and gasped.

There was blood on the bed sheets.

Zoe put the Doppler to Linda's skin and moved it around.

"I'm so sorry Linda, you've lost your baby" Zoe said sympathetically. She hated giving expecting mums news that they had lost their unborn children. She was later moved to cubicles for some rest, and Jessica went back to the house to get Linda some clean clothes. She returned to the hospital where she went in to the cucible. She found Linda lying in the bed, she was allowed to rest for a while before being sent home, she went straight up to her room.

Jessica bit her lip, wondering how to help her, but she knew from experience that loosing a baby was horrible and there was nothing that anyone could do to help the bereaved mother. They had to grieve on their own.

Jessica went up to Linda's room to see if she wanted anything. But she said no, she wanted to be left alone. But as Jessica made her way down the stairds, she heard her friend crying.

"Oh, Linda " She said quietly, her heart breaking for her.
