Two weeks until the next episode! I know we've been spoilt but - two weeks!

This is a bit AU taking bits for A Childs Heart and tweaking them to suit me, so they won't be exactly the same as the episode.

Need to do something to fill the two weeks.

As you well know, I don't own anyone that you recognise - if I did they would have had a hug already!

What a Night

Ethan Hardy thought that the night couldn't get any worse...the explosion at the wedding, saving Zoe, Charlie's heart attack, Dylan's meltdown, irrate husbands - he'd seen it all, but this - this could actually send him over the edge!

Not ten minutes ago, he had sent his pregnant patient upstairs to be treated, thankful that they had been able to help her in time. When she had gone, he told a returning Robyn that he was going to get a quick drink and something to eat as he hadn't had anything in hours and he was beginning to feel a little light headed. He noticed that the young nurse seemed distracted, and she had tried to assure him that she was ok, but failed miserably.

"Robyn, come on, what's wrong? You can tell me. Tonight has been tough but Zoe and Charlie are going to be alright and..."

At that, Robyn had burst into tears, "Oh Ethan, it's Cal..." she burst out.

Ethan had been confused, "What do you mean?"

Seeing Robyn's terrified expression had made Ethan's stomach churn, what had happened to his brother?

"I'm not supposed to say anything..."

"Robyn, please, what's happened to my brother?" he had demanded, in a tone not usually associated with the mild mannered doctor.

"He's been treating a stab victim - gang stuff...someone's got a gun..."

Ethan hadn't let her finish before he dashed off towards Resus, where he saw a small group of people stood - tension radiating from them. Ethan had pushed his way through to the window, gasping at the scene in front of him. His brother was treating his patient, with the help of Lily, while a young man around the same height as Cal was pointing a gun at him, demanding that he save the patients life!

So that was chapter 1. Probably a couple of chapters to go. Let me know what you think.
