| Patrick and Lara were coming to the end of a very long shift when Max walked into the staff room. M: Patrick, you know you were asking for overtime well now you've got it. P: What? I've got plans (looking at Lara) M: Well you asked for it and now you've got it. L: Looks like the lucky girl will have to wait! P: How do you know it's a girl? P: Well speaking from past experience call it a lucky guess. (She said with a smirk) Lara walks out with her coat slung over her shoulder whistling leaving Patrick waiting for the "lucky girl" to answer her phone. P: Come on! Come on! (Other end of the phone) Patrick! Hi! P: I can't make it tonight, I'm really sorry; I hope you didn�t have anything special planned. Back in the reception someone familiar has just walked in carrying a little boy. Jack: Hello, what can I do for you? Person: It's my little boy he's not very well. J: Well you've brought him to the right place! Person: I know I used to work here myself. J: Right then. Patrick! Over here, young lad, not very well! The girl turns round with a worried smile. P: Holly! What are you...? (He sees the young child in her arms) Who's this? Holly :It�s Luke my baby please help him he's been ill for a few days now. P: Get him into a cubicle. He's in good hands. H: I know Patrick he's among family now. P: Is he...? P: Is he mine? Holly I need to know. H: I didn�t know how to tell you before. P: Is that why you left? H: He�s 10 months old. I�d already left when I found out I was having him then I just couldn�t face coming back. P: But Holly it�s two years ago now. H: I know but just please make him better. P: Let�s take some bloods see if we can find out what�s wrong. Dillon call paediatrics, check if there�s a bed free. H: He�s had a temperature and he�s just not stopped crying until we came here. I just didn�t know what to do. P: It could be a number of things: a virus and it could be� H: Meningitis, I know. P: Well he seems stable enough now can we have a chat? H: Yeah sure. P: Relatives room? H: I�d rather stay here with Luke if that�s OK? P: Of course. Duffy keep an eye on cubicle 7, I�m just having a chat with Holly. D: OK. Take your time. |
