I'm afraid I'm going to go on a bit of a downer with this chapter. I understand that people are entitled to their opinions.
Casualty3000: Thank you for the review.
LindaAndrewsfan: Thank you for the review.
Winnie The Pooh Eeyore: Thank you for the review, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Angel's with Demon's: Honestly, I found your review quite rude. I understand Jessica may not have everyone's favourite character (feel like I've said that a lot, lately) but I like her. I have characters I don't like. Linda is one of them (no disrespect to fans who do like her, I'm not trying to - start an argument). As for Hannah, she's an OC, so I find that quite offensive. (But whatever, all entitled to our own opinions) I don't like Chardonnay - Alesha (absolutely no disrespect to the writer who created her) If want to talk, PM me.
Please don't read my chapters, if you don't like the characters I write about, I don't know how often I can say that. Again, has Jessica in, don't like, don't read.
Adam: 45.
Jessica: 39.
Baby Harry: 9- months- old. (Yes, I know, he's dead, in the show)
Mentions the injury that Amelia received in Adam and Jess's crash.
Also briefly mentions Alana Carmicheal, the little girl that Jessica helped treat in her flashbacks.
I'm no nurse or doc so I kind of made the medical info up.
Any spelling or grammar mistakes are mine.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 205.
"Come on, kids" Adam called as he stood at the bottom of the stairs. For, the kids, it was the same routine every morning; Lucas was the first one down the stairs, while Amelia was slowler at getting ready. Jessica was changing Harry's nappy. She carried him outside, and picked up her handbag.
Jessica secured Harry in to his car seat and put a blanket over him as she put his changing bag down beside him. She gave him a toy as she put the changing bag down next to him. She shut the door and joined her husband in the passenger side.
"Ready?" Adam said.
"OK" Jessica replied.
Adam started the engine and drove to Lucas and Amelia's school.
"Have a good day, kids " Adam waved as Jessica gave them their lunches.
On, their way back, after dropping Harry off at nursery, Jessica was looking out of the window.
They were driving along a road and a car was driving on the opposite lane to them.
The other car speed up and as Jessica took her gaze away from the window, she realised she vaguely recognized the other car, it was Linda's.
She was about to tell Adam when the other driver overtook them causing them to break, but the driver in front of them forgot o break and swerved on to an icy lake.
"Whoa " Adam said as he broke. Adam and Jessica got out of their car and looked at each other.
"Are you alright?" Adam asked Jessica.
"I'm fine" Jessica replied.
Adam nodded and then looked over at the ice covered lake, the car looked like it was about to sink in to the freezing water.
Suddenly, the ice broke, submerging the people inside.
Adam groaned, remember their own crash, but luckily he had been able to get Jess and Harry out in time.
Linda slowly crawled over to Jessica. Adam told his wife to take Linda to the hospital to be checked out, Jessica nodded, calling a taxi as she knew Adam's car would be out of service. She called an ambulance knowing that they would need medical attention.
As the water filled the car, the people inside were struggling to stay afloat, the more the water consumed them.
Linda and Denise's dad, dived in to the water and searched the murky water, for his junkie daughter. He found her and she was placed on a stretcher.
"Denise Andrews, 39, submerged in water, suspected heron overdose, GSC 3. " said paramedics, who had rushed to the scene.
"This is Spencer Andrews, 55, submerged in water, BP 60./ 90, GSC 3 "
"This is Linda Andrews, 37, possible hairline fracture, BP 60/ 90, GSC 15 "
"RESUS" said an nurse, and the trolley was wheeled in, she was transferred to the RESUS bed
Denise was stable, she was warming up and her SAT'S were stable. Suddenly, the monitor started beeping. Nurses rushed in to try and revive her but it was too late, she was gone.
Spencer had slipped in to a coma, due to his injuries and drowning. Nick was going to keep bringing him out of it, to see how he was, over the next few days.
Linda was in a cubicle, she was waiting for a nurse to take her to ultrasound, she was expecting her ex's boyfriends baby.
Mr Jordan had asked Zoe where Linda was. Zoe had looked up from the discharge forms she was signing and said. "Cubicles, Nick. "
"Thank you Dr. Hanna. " Nick replied. He hated giving patients relatives bad news, but Linda wasn't just a patient, she was also a nurse.
Nick pulled back the cubicle curtain, but she wasn't there.
Another nurse was taking Linda to ultrasound, she was in a wheelchair.
Linda lay on the bed and a nurse scanned her.
Jessica looked at the screen, the baby was waving, it reminded her of when she was pregnant with Harry, she gave a small smile.
The door opened, it was Linda's mum.
"The crash was your fault. " Linda's mum, shouted.
Linda started to cry. Jessica rubbed her back.
Jessica called security guards dragged Linda's mum from the ultrasound room.
Linda was taken back to cubicles, her arm reset.
The treatment for a Hairline Fracture was rest. The fracture was put in a cast and Linda was left to rest, when Nick came back in.
"Nurse Andrews, can I have a word?"
Linda nodded. Nick sat on the bed.
"Your dad and Denise never survived. I'm sorry"
Linda cried again.
When, she got a moment, Jessica headed in to the staff room to change in to her scrubs and to get herself a quick tea.
Then she went to the curtain opened to reveal Jessica. She found Linda sitting on the bed, her arm was resting on a few pillows.
"Simon has been abusing me" Linda said, her voice was thick with tears, she found the subject quite tough to talk about.
Jessica remembered a patient that she helped treat when she was training with Linda at "Holby Angels"
"Jess?" Linda asked, noting her silence.
"It's ok" Jessica smiled, sitting on the edge of the bed.
Linda handed Jessica the pebble, and then, the two friends decided to go and get something to eat. They decided to go to Subway.
Jessica dropped Linda off at her flat, telling her to call her if she needed anything and then she drove back .
Jessica was exhausted after the days events, all she wanted to do was go to collect Harry from the babysitters and curl up in front of the TV with Adam with a large glass of red. She took a sip and leant against Adam.
Harry started crying.
Jessica moved so she could go and see to her baby.
Adam went to see him and come back down, a few minutes later.
"OK?" Jess asked, as she looked up from texting Linda.
Adam nodded. "Yeah. "
Jessica cuddled against him.
Linda was in the armchair in her flat, she burst in to tears, it was not fair, life was too much and even though, she wasn't close to her sister she was still sad that she was gone, as was her father and she had no one else in the world, except her friends: Adam, Jess and Zoe and she owed them all for helping her through the tough time.
Thank you for reading. Hope you enjoyed it.
