The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 210.
Honey hadn't seen the team since she left the ED 6 months ago, to go up to Manchester to look after her ill nan. She had thought a clean slate was best after her break up, with Ethan. She had stayed in her nan's house with her, but as her nan got better after breaking her hip in a fall, she had moved in to a hotel (which didn't come cheap) She was back to work as a pole dancer,
And now, as Honey looked at the white stick that was in her hands, she didn't know what she wanted the result to be. If she was pregnant, she would have to give up her dancing. Nobody wanted a hormonal dancer. She closed her eyes, reaching for it. Biting her lip, she turned it over. She gasped in shock, she was pregnant, but that wasn't the shocking part. It was the fact that she was 8 months.
She had to go back to Holby. So, she quit her job and made the long journey back to Holby.
Ethan was working late when he noticed her.
"Honey?" Ethan asked.
"What Ethan means is, " Cal interjected, "Is welcome back Honey "
"Yes, " Stammered Ethan. "W-Welcome back Honey "
"Thanks Ethan " She replied.
The two stood in silence for a moment as Cal got back to work, but Ethan couldn't miss the large baby bump that was covering Honey's otherwise, petite frame.
"Is it mine?" He eventually asked.
Honey nodded.
Ethan was shocked, they had only done it a few times, but they had always used protection.
Honey had moved back in with her Dad and Big Mac temporally while she grew in size as her pregnancy progressed.
She was bored so she decided to go in to work to gossip with Zoe and Rita. She was in the staff room when she started getting stomach pains, then water gushed down her leg.
It had been Rita and Zoe that had delivered the Wright baby. Ethan was by Honey's side, allowing her to squeeze his hand as the contractions tore through her, they felt like bad period pains.
"I can't Ethan" Honey said, she was tired, weak.
Ethan nodded, encouragingly at her. "Yes, you can Honey, just a few more pushes and we'll have our baby"
Honey nodded, drawing strength from him.
Honey pushed and pushed.
Until Zoe heard a cry.
"Congratulations, it's a boy " She smiled as she cleaned him up. She wrapped him in a blanket and lay him on the new mum's chest.
Ethan smiled and kissed Honey's head "I'm so proud of you "
"Thanks Ethan" Honey replied tiredly.
"Honey, it's Dad" Noel said, he was on a break, so the next morning, he had decided to come up and see his daughter. "Honey?" Noel said again, when he realised the bed was empty, but the baby (who was a boy, was lying in the plastic cot, wrapped in a blanket) was still there. He noticed there was a note on the pillow, he reached it and unfolded it.
"I can't do this, sorry, dad.
Love Honey"
Noel pocketed the note and left the room (asking a passing nurse to keep an eye on his grandson) She agreed and Noel went down the stairs. leading to the ED. He spotted Ethan about to go in to a cubicle. He jogged to catch up with him.
"Excuse me, Dr. Hardy?" Noel asked.
Ethan turned around.
"Honey's gone, " Said Noel.
"What do you mean Honey's gone?" Asked Cal, (who had now joined them) as he knew that Ethan would just panic.
Noel showed Cal the note and as Ethan paled, it was Cal that took action. He decided that they should ring Honey's phone, which he did, but she didn't answer so he left a message.
"Honey, it's Cal, can you call me back please, I'm worried "
Ethan knew that he had no choice but to take the currently unnamed child back to his and Cal's flat.
The boys stepped in to their flat, both looking at each other. The child began whimpering and Ethan took him in to the living room. First, he needed a name, he couldn't keep being called "baby"
"What about Michael?" Cal suggested, looking at names on his laptop.
Ethan nodded, looking down at him. He was asleep, but they didn't have anything to put him in. Cal stood up and headed to his room, Ethan heard him moving about and cursing before he come out of his room, holding a box.
"We can't put Michael, in a box " He hissed.
"It's just temporary until we get ourselves sorted " Cal replied, rolling his eyes.
Ethan glared, but gently lowered Michael in to the box, before covering him with a blanket. Tomorrow, they were going to go to "Mother Care " and stock up on the things that they needed.
Ethan checked his wallet to make sure that he had enough money to buy the stuff he needed for Michael.
They got in to the car, leaving Micheal with a friend as they didn't have a car seat for him.
Cal and Ethan come back laden with stuff. Cot, a changing mat, and bag. Toys, bottles,
Michael had filled his nappy, Ethan took him in to the spare room which for the moment was being used as Michael's bedroom.
Ethan rocked Michael in his bouncer.
Noel had reported Honey as missing to the police, but as they had told him she was an adult, there was nothing they could do.
"But she's vulnerable " Noel replied, it wasn't normal to abandon your new - born baby.
The police nodded.
Noel was frustrated, he rang Honey's number again. He left her a message.
"Honey, it's dad, call me, love you. "
Honey was found to be living back in Manchester, taking up pole dancing. She called Noel to tell him she was safe, but when he begged her to come back, she refused.
She was happy, not having a baby, leaving him with Ethan. To start a new life.
Sorry, there's little to no characterisation, I don't feel confident on Honey, but I hope you guys enjoyed it anyway.
Yeah, I know that Ethan's real name is Michael.
