The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 204.

Hannah Hardy was in her bedroom, getting ready for school. She made her bed, went in to her en - suite to brush her teeth and to clean her face. She put on her uniform, brushed and then plaited her hair. She stood up, reaching for her make up bag and started to apply foundation, a powder and then mascara, adding a bit of pink lip-gloss. she put the make up back in her bag and then put her bag in the top of the wardrobe before shutting the doors. She grabbed her bag and left the room, walking across the landing and down the stairs. She walked in to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water and she decided to put a breakfast bar in her bag to have later. She waved goodbye to her dad and set off for school. She put in her ipod and selected Avril Lavigne's "What the hell"

Walking along the roads, she could see the school, she swallowed, walking in to the gates.

"Oh, look who it is, " School bully Chardonnay - Alesha, sneered as Hannah walked past her.

"Leave me alone. " She asked as she felt herself being tugged back by her hair.

Chardonnay - Alesha laughed at her. "The baby wants to be left alone. "

Hannah felt tears well up in her eyes, but she refused to cry.

Chardonnay - Alesha let go of her hair as she picked her bag up and continued to walk to her form class.


Hannah and Chardonnay - Alesha were in the Science lab with their teacher, Mrs Parker, and the other students. Mrs Parker was showing the students how to correctly use a Bunsen Burner. But, one student, wasn't listening to Mrs Parker and they caused an explosion.

Orange flames flickered up.

"Form an orderly line and make your way out of the school. " said Mrs Parker.

Hannah got out of the building with the rest of the students, but realised that Chardonnay - Alesha was still inside. Did she leave her to die or save her? She could think of reasons why she should leave her, but she knew that her dad would never forgive her if she left another pupil to die. "Mrs, Parker, Chardonnay - Alesha, is still inside. "

"We wait for the emergency services" Mrs Parker replied.

"But miss, she could need help. " Hannah replied.

"We wait " Her teacher replied, arching an eyebrow as she thought "This girl has been bullied by the girl trapped inside, why does she want to save her?"

"No. " Said Hannah, she knew it was wrong to go against her teachers orders but she needed to help, she turned back.

"Hannah!" Their teacher yelled.

Putting a hand over her mouth, Hannah ran through the smoke filled corridors, coughing.

Her eyes stung as she looked in on the empty classrooms, seeing no sign of the pregnant teen.

She knew that she couldn't take the lift and the stairs which led up to the Science department, now lay in ruins. She pulled her phone out of her pocket, texting quickly.

"Can you tell me where you are?"

Chardonnay - Alesha was now struggling to breath, her eyes were stinging and she was coughing. "In the toilets. "

"On my way, just try and stay calm"

She picked up her pace and headed to the girls toilets. She threw the door open, coughing.

"Chardonnay - Alesha!" She yelled, going in to the thick smoke.

"Second stall. " She replied.

Hannah forced the door open. "Why didn't you come out with the rest of us?"

"I started having stomach pains and I thought the baby was coming. "

Hannah nodded.

"Were going to die in here, " Chardonnay - Alesha, panicked, she was heavily pregnant.

"We are going to be fine and so is your baby. " Hannah whispered.

"What do you know about kids?" Chardonnay - Alesha asked her.

Hannah had, had enough. "I wasn't irresponsible, like you. "

"Yeah, well, at least I wasn't adopted. "

"You don't know me " Hannah said, rolling her eyes.

Soon after, she had shut her eyes, Hannah sighed to herself.

She pulled the unconscious teenager from the burning flames and lay her on the ground as ambulances were called.


Both Hannah and Chardonnay - Alesha were taken to hospital to be checked over.

Hannah's dad, Ethan's was on shift and he was shocked too see his daughter in a wheelchair, an oxygen mask on her face.

"Hannah Hardy, 15, smoke inhalation, BP 60/ 90. GSC was 15 throughout. " Said Jeff.

Dad, I'm fine. " Hannah said when she saw that he was going to speak.

"What happened?" Ethan asked, concerned.

"There was a fire at school, in the Science lab "

"Are you OK?" He asked.

Hannah nodded.

Ethan nodded. "Cubicle 2, please, " He told Linda, who nodded and put her in a cubicle.

Hannah sat on the bed and Linda put an oxygen mask over her face.

Ethan wanted to go and see her but he knew that he couldn't as doctors and nurses weren't allowed to treat family members who come through the ED doors.

Zoe put a hand on his shoulder. "Go and take a break, Ethan. "

Ethan shook his head, taking off his glasses and giving his tired eyes a rub. "I'm fine, Dr. Hanna. "

He put his glasses back on his face as he headed towards the door, paramedics were bringing in another patient.

"This is Chardonnay - Alesha, 15, BP 60/ 90. GSC 12. SAT'S are 97 % " Said Jeff, wheeling the stretcher in to the hospital.

She was wheeled in to a side room, and sat up on the bed, while waiting for a nurse to come in to give her an ultrasound scan.

Jessica was the nurse that was performing the ultrasound, but she was stuck in RESUS as her daughter had been caught up in the explosion, but she wasn't allowed to treat her.

Chardonnay - Alesha was getting bored of waiting and decided to go in to the bathroom to see if she could bring on this child's labour by herself.

Chardonnay - Alesha stared as a patch of wee trickled down her leg, she knew that meant the kid was coming. She pulled her phone out and text Hannah.

"I'm in the Ladies toilets, waters have broken, help me. "

Hannah knew the right thing would be to help her, but she knew nothing of delivering children. She told Linda that she was going out for some fresh air, but instead she went in the opposite direction. She nudged open the door.

Hannah knocked on the stall door after hearing a weak "Come in"

Hannah bent down beside her.

"Are you OK?" She asked.

"This bloody hurts!"

"It's natures way of delivering the baby" Hannah said.

Chardonnay - Alesha looked at her as she continued to try and pant through the pain.

"Push " Hannah said.

"I'm pushing " She glared at her.

"Well, keep doing it. " Hannah replied, keeping calm.

Hannah looked at her enemy's private parts (with her permission) and saw the head.

"I can see the head, a few more pushes and it'll be out "

Chardonnay - Alesha grabbed Hannah's hand as she prepared to give one last push, she tensed as she felt something come out.

Babies were meant to cry when they came out, but this new-born wasn't.

"Why isn't she crying?" Chardonnay - Alesha asked.

Hannah knew why.

The cord was around the baby's neck.

Hannah knew what to do as she had watched Ethan practice on a "dummy baby"

She swung the cord around the baby's head.

The baby gave a cry.

Hannah placed the baby on Chardonnay - Alesha's chest, just as Linda and Ethan come running out, with a wheelchair. Linda helped ease her in to it, while Ethan went ahead with the baby to check it over.


Hannah decided to go and see Chardonnay - Alesha, who was resting in a cubicle, her new-born child in her arms, wrapped in a blanket. "How did you know what to do?"

"Dad always taught me to help people, "

Chardonnay - Alesha turned her attention, back to the child.

"What's her name?" She asked interestedly.

"It's Tullulah."

"Nice name. "

Chardonnay - Alesha eye - rolled her. "Why are you being nice? After I bullied you?"

"Because I'll get nowhere by being horrible to you. " She replied, before she left the cubicle, going to meet her dad as his shift had ended and he wasn't back in until the next weekend.


A day later, Chardonnay - Alesha was discharged from hospital with her new- born, who she had promised to herself that she would look after. Her cousin Mercedes McQueen, came to collect her from the hospital.

"Were going to do everything we can to keep you safe and happy, baby girl " Mercedes said softly as baby Tallulah gurgled.

The police had informed both girls that there would be an investigation in to what had happened.

The teacher had agreed to give the girls a few days off so that they could recuperate.

Mercedes let Chardonnay - Alesha get some sleep while she looked after Tallulah.


Ethan unlocked the door to the house that he had brought with the money from Matilda's death.

Hannah kissed her father's cheek. "Night, dad "

Ethan smiled. "Night, Han. "

Hannah walked up the stairs, she was exhausted by the days events. All, she wanted to do was climb in to bed and sleep. She put on her pj's and went in to the en- suite to remove her make up and to moisturise. After, she did that, she headed back out and pulled back the covers before, sliding in and looking at a picture taken by Cal, it was of her and Ethan and she treasured it.

Closing her eyes, all she could see was the flames and the thick smoke. She opened her eyes to see she was in her own bed, safe. Grabbing her dressing gown, she wrapped it around her and putting her slippers on, heading out the room and down the stairs.

"What are you doing up?" Ethan asked, looking at his watch, it was 2:30 in the morning.

"I couldn't sleep " She told him.

Ethan opened his arms and she crawled in to them.

"You did a brave thing, today" Ethan said, quietly.

"Anyone would have. " She replied.

Ethan shook his head. He wouldn't of as he would of been too scared. "Why don't you go back to bed?"

"OK." She stood up, kissing her father on the cheek and heading out in to the hallway, heading up the stairs and in to her bedroom, she walked in, switched off her alarm and got back under the covers, content that she didn't have to get up in the morning.


Baby Tullilah started crying. Chardonnay - Alesha got out of bed as she heard crying. She scooped her up and rocked her, pleased when her cries stopped.

She felt blessed to have her and as she lowered her in to the cot that her friend Lindsey Roscoe, had leant her, she realised that she couldn't just think about her any more, she had a daughter to put before herself.

As she got back in to bed, she smiled and turning on her pillow, she fell straight to sleep, dreaming about her new daughter.


Next day, Hannah showered and put on her juicy tracksuit, putting her hair up in a bun before putting some make up on and going for a walk, she told her dad, he told her it was OK and to keep her phone on. She threw in her headphones and walked along to Jess Glynne. "Don't Be So Hard On yourself. "

When, she come back, she made herself a sandwich and watched some TV, she was in to "Family Guy, "The Simpsons " and "Home And Away. "

After she had caught up on "Home And Away" she decided to text one of her friends to see if they wanted to do something. Her best friend Rachel said she was taking her dog for a walk, her other best friend Jade said she was at a family friends wedding and Amelia was being kept in for observation because of the burns she had suffered.


Ethan, Hannah, Cal as well as Mercedes and Chardonnay - Alesha were called to the school, to discuss the report of the police findings.

The police report come back as the Busen Burners weren't working properly.

The girls looked at each other, both relieved that they weren't responsible, as they would have been suspended.

They headed out of the school and Hannah invited Chardonnay - Alesha back to her house, she agreed as Mercedes had agreed to look after Tullilah.

The girls walked ahead of Ethan and when they arrived home, Hannah choose a DVD and got them bowls of popcorn as they watched "Alice Looking Through The Looking Glass. "


Writing this chapter reminded me of when I wrote a Home and Away/ Casualty one - shot where Ricky saved Hannah.

I enjoyed writing this chapter. Thank you for reading. Think I'm going to take a break as I want to tie off a couple of Home And Away stories, before Ricky leaves.
