I've wrote this fanfic just to see how Cara reacts again to this given situation. Please take a look and please review xx
"Remember Cara you need to take it easy!" Serena warns as she leaves the staffroom, leaving a seven month pregnant Cara sitting cross legged on the sofa fanning herself down with a magazine.
"Yes don't worry Ms Campbell I will" Cara moans, the heat is becoming too much for her now even with her best attempts to cool herself down.
Cara hasn't had the best pregnancy that anyone could have, she had the common symptoms which possibly everyone gets such as terrible morning sickness which she still gets now even though she's seven months pregnant and also the excruciating pain of backache, she has also become stressed out by her main cause is her boyfriend who left her when she was twenty two weeks pregnant with his child.
The main reason he left was because he couldn't face the facts of Cara's twenty week scan which revealed that her baby has a heart defect called Hypoplastic left heart syndrome and that her baby might have one of the other common problems with hypoplastic left heart syndrome which is an Arterial septal defect which they will know more about when the baby is born.
Cara steps out onto the ward and sighs, she hates being fussed over especially when Serena fusses over her by making sure she is alright and that she isn't over tired which is something Serena has never done before to anyone. Serena has been this way now since Cara found out about her baby having a heart condition.
"Nurse Martinez" Morven calls making Cara jump as she was off in a world of her own.
"Hmm?" she mumbles as she places her hand on her bump.
Morven walks over to her and says "Can I get Mr Walton's blood results back please?"
Cara bites her lip and remember what she was meant to do earlier "I...erm... One sec.. I'll gone and chase them up" Cara panics as she walks away and goes to find the blood results which she should of received a while ago.
Once Cara has chased the blood results up for Morven she goes back to the nursing station and starts to try and find beds for patients who need to be moved onto the ward that is most appropriate for the patients condition.
"You're a little live wire today aren't you?" Cara mutters as she sits back and places her hand on the area of her bump which the baby is kicking.
"I bet it'll be a boy" Fletch says as he walks up next to her and searches through patient notes.
Cara gives a heavy sign and replies "What makes you think that?"
"I just think it is because every time you're on a shift the baby seems to play football with either your bladder or stomach" Fletch laughs.
Cara rolls her eyes "Haven't you heard of a female football player?" Cara questions as she doesn't actually know the gender of her baby yet as she wants to keep it a surprise.
She looks down at her bump and tries to imagine what it will be like when the baby is actually here, although she is completely terrified about her new born baby having an operation possibly hours or days after birth to correct the defect depending on how the condition of her baby is after birth.
"You do realise everyone is putting bets on in the staffroom to what gender the baby is?" Raf says as he walks over to them, he has made it obvious that he's been on is break because he still has a cup of coffee in his hands from the cafe downstairs.
Cara catches whiff of the small of coffee and her hand imminently flies to her mouth and she dashes off in direction of the toilets. "What's up with her?" Raf questions as he has forgotten about how the smell of coffee makes Cara ill.
"Have you once again forgotten about Cara's current ban on coffee while she's on her shift?" Fletch questions and then that is when Raf realises what he's done.
Cara finally makes it to the toilets and practically throws herself over the toilet and brings up the content of her stomach.
"Are you alright?" A voice speaks up from behind Cara.
Cara nods as she stands herself back up and walks over to the sinks and washes her hands and splashes her face with cold water "I'll be fine, It's just I don't seem to get a say on what smells are nice and bad, also on what I eat or drink anymore" Cara laughs.
She turns around to see a young patient with her arm up in a sling and also in the hospital bed gown "When you due?" she questions.
"Not until early October" Cara smiles as the young girl limps next to her and looks in the mirror.
"I'm Jessie by the way" she smiles back at Cara.
"I'm Cara" Cara says awkwardly as she places her hand on her bump again.
Jessie looks down at Cara's hand and says "Is it kicking?"
Cara gives a little nod and replies to Jessie "Yes I think it's a little hand this time" she smiles, "Anyway aren't you meant to be in bed?" Cara questions as she remembers Jessie's face from earlier.
"Yes but I needed the toilet" Jessie mutters.
Cara rolls her eyes it's the biggest excuse in the book "Right then let's get you back because I'm sure Mr Di Lucca is looking for you."
Jessie gives an innocent nod, "Is your ankle hurting you?" Cara questions as she follows Jessie back to the ward.
"Sort of, it's very numb" Jessie admits.
"Right then, I don't think it's a great idea to walk on it though" Cara explains to Jessie and she grabs a wheel chair which has been left in the corridor, "Sit!" Cara demands as she pushes the wheel chair behind Jessie and helps her sit down.
she wheels Jessie back into the ward "Ah, Miss Price I've been looking for you" Raf smiles as he sees Cara wheel her back onto the ward "All your scans have come back clear we can now discharge you" Raf smiles.
"She can't!" Cara splutters.
"Why ever not?" Raf questions her.
"She's told me that her right ankle is numb and when walking she complained it felt numb" Cara explains.
Raf and Cara help Jessie back onto the bed and he begins to examine her "So tell me Jessie what does this numb sensation feel like?" Raf says as he moves her foot slowly.
"Almost like pins and needles" Jessie explains.
Raf looks up at Cara and then replies to Jessie "When you fell you didn't hit your head did you?"
Jessie thinks long and hard but shakes her head "Her neck and spin was cleared at the scene" Cara reads as she flicks through the hand over notes.
"I-I-I dunno" Jessie mutters.
"Look at me Jessie, it's really important that you try and remember because there could be something effecting your walking by which I mean you might have a brain injury" Cara says kindly unaware of Raf glaring at her.
"Nurse Martinez!" he warns.
"But I'm only telling her the truth" the curious nurse replies. "Please try and remember Jessie your life could depend on it" she adds.
"Nurse Martinez!" Raf warns again as he starts to get annoyed with Cara.
"But-" Cara is cut off by Raf.
"My office now!" he shouts and all the other nurses and Doctors turn to see Cara walks off shamefully towards his office.
Raf apologises to Jessie about Cara's actions and gets Fletch to cover while he gives Cara a telling off for what she has just done even though the telling off should be done by Cara's superior which is the director of nursing.
Please read and review and let me know what you think of this so far.
