Hello everyone, I'm back with another story for you all. I had a few stories I was toying with to upload but I eventually chose this one, hopefully it was a good choice haha. I actually have more chapters for later on in the story written than the beginning and so my much loved daily updates may be a struggle early on, though I'll try my best to keep it up for you all. I have three OCs in this story, one of which I hope you fall in love with as much as me, I know I shouldn't really say that about my own characters but if I have written this story in the way I wanted you as readers to take in then hopefully you'll start to feel the same way about young Thomas as I. There will be a lot of Doctor Who references throughout, just a heads up! I really hope you enjoy, please let me know your thoughts on the first chapter, thanks, Kayxxx :)

Chapter One - Allons-y

"The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things or make them unimportant." - Doctor Who.

"What happened to my patient who was hooked up to the ventilator?" Ethan asked as he looked through some notes he had on a patient.
"The family decided it was time" Zoe spoke softly.
"What, they switched it off?" Ethan asked surprised.
"Yes, not long after you finished your shift last night actually! All her family were around her, it was a peaceful moment" she explained, "sorry, I should've told you" she added.
"Unbelievable, just yesterday I had to tell her mother her daughter was brain dead, she seemed adamant to keep her living, she was convinced her daughter was still there and within hours she was willing to let her die?" Ethan shook his head confused as he shut his patient's notes.
"They hardly let her die Ethan, she was brain dead" Zoe spoke shocked at the young Doctor's way of thinking.
"I know I just-" he paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts "I don't think I could ever make that decision about someone I loved, that quick at least, it must be so hard" Ethan explained.
"Ethan you're a doctor, how many times have you had to call it on a patient?" Zoe asked with a chuckle.
"I know but it's completely different with family right?" he replied seeming distant, deep in thought. Zoe opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by Charlie.

"Right there has been a vehicle collision involving a school bus holding 6 and 7 year old children, luckily all are walking wounded however we'll make them all priority, their parents have all been informed and should be on their way, until then I suggest not making any drastic decisions unless 100% necessary" Charlie announced to the surrounding staff stood at the nursing station.

As time passed more and more of the colleagues were assigned their own child to treat. Cal was one of the first to be given one of the young Casualties to see to. "Hi Thomas I'm doctor Knight, I'm going to make you better okay?" He smiled down at the young boy, whose arm was looking quite a strange shape, as he wheeled him through the corridor "what's your toy?" Cal asked making conversation, he's noticed the boy holding onto a figure in the arm that wasn't in need of treatment.
"A darlek" Thomas smiled.
"Oh right, is that from Star Wars or something?" Cal asked trying to sound interested though it was evident he wasn't.
"Doctor Who" Thomas corrected him with a sigh.
"Well aren't you the cutest little thing to ever come through the ED doors?" Rita cooed as she knelt down before the small boy. She was right, he was incredibly cute. He head bleach blonde hair and beautiful dark brown eyes, although he had on his school uniform, around his neck was a neatly tied red bow tie. "What's this?" Rita smiled as she took his toy from his hand.
"My darlek" Thomas replied with a smile.
"Oh right that's from-" Thomas cut her off "Doctor who" he smiled politely.
"Aw well, I'm incredibly jealous doctor Knight gets to treat you, you're a little cutie" Rita smiled as she pinched his cheek and placed his darlek back on his lap, though it fell off.

It rolled to a stop at Ethan's foot distracting him from his notes. The doctor looked down and smiled before he picked up the toy figure and handed it back to Thomas "I think your darlek just tried to exterminate my foot" Ethan joked with a wink which caused Thomas to chuckle. "Either that or it somehow knew I had Cybermen socks on" Ethan added, squinting his eyes and tilting his head.
"You've got Cybermen socks on?!" Thomas called excitedly.
"Of course" Ethan smiled as he bent down to pull up the bottom of his scrubs to show off his geeky footwear.
"I've got the same ones at home!" Thomas smiled.
"Wow, it really says something when you have the same socks as a six year old" Cal spoke sarcastically.
Ethan just ignored him.
"I left my Cybermen at home today, I couldn't bring him out the same time as the darlek" Thomas stated.
"Of course not! All they'd do is fight!" Ethan added, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, Thomas nodded as he too got it.
"I've got a life size remote control K-9 in my house" Ethan stated proudly which caused Thomas' face to light up
"I've always wanted one of those!"
"Is that that robot dog thing you won't let me touch?" Cal asked in realisation.
"Yes" Ethan rolled his eyes.
"That's so cool!" Thomas spoke impressed.
"Cool isn't exactly the word I would use" Cal announced which caused his surrounding colleagues to laugh.

"Who are you to talk? You've just called K-9 a "robot dog thing", I can guarantee that "robot dog thing" knows a lot more than you do" Thomas replied bluntly, causing everyone to laugh hysterically, including Ethan.
"Mate you've just been told by a six year old" Max chuckled.
Cal rolled his eyes, "Right Thomas, let's get you seen to" He spoke through gritted teeth as he grabbed hold of the wheelchair the boy sat in.
"Can't he treat me?" Thomas asked, gesturing toward Ethan who looked up smugly.
"I think doctor Hardy is a bit busy right now Thomas" Cal replied as he pushed him away.
"Actually, I think I can make some time for a fellow whovian" Ethan smiled.
"Yes!" Thomas cheered, "One thing" Ethan spoke as he kneeled down before Thomas, "Matt Smith or David Tennant?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"David Tennant of course! You can't beat the tenth doctor!" Thomas spoke sincerely.
"Ah I think we're going to get on well" The young doctor smiled as he ruffled the boy's hair. His colleagues and brother stood watching shocked. Ethan brushed past Cal taking the wheelchair in his hands "right, Allons-y!" Ethan called.
"Allons-what?" Max asked confused. "Allons-y! It's French for "Let's go!"" Both Ethan and Thomas replied simultaneously, the young boy adding a giggle to the end.
"Is it just me or is Thomas just a miniature Ethan?" Rita chuckled as she watched the two Doctor Who geeks disappear down the corridor.
