Harry went up to the ward to visit Liz. "Hi DI Rawton, How are you feeling?" PC Newman asked,
"I am fine thanks, I am discharging myself" Liz said
"Do you think that is such a good idea"
" No I don't, I think you should listen to the doctors" Duncan said
"I am just taking up space and there is nothing wrong with me. I will be fine at home"
"Well you are coming home with me if you are discharging yourself"
"Ooh there's an offer ma'am" Harry said
"There's no need really"
"Look if you are going to discharge yourself then you are coming home with me and that's final"
"Ok if you insist. Harry how are the other's"
"PC Carver is in I.T.U, Debbie is recovering well, PC Rickman is still unconscious and I am afraid that PC Ashton didn't make it" Harry said
"No he was so young, How is Kerry?"
"Not good, I am going to see her now"
"Does Nick know about Luke?" Liz said
"No I don't think so"
"Oh poor Kerry" Duncan said, "I should go and see her"
"Yes you go and I will come down once the doctor has seen me," Liz said
"OK" Duncan said
Duncan walked off down the corridor to the lift and he bumped into Nick, who had just gone for some fresh air.
"Nick how's Cass?"
"Not good. How's DI Rawton?" Nick asked,
"She's fine. She is discharging herself now"
"That sounds like her. Do you now how the other's are?"
"Umm well Jim is in I.T.U" Duncan said
"Is he going to pull through?" Nick said eagerly
"I don't know"
"Debbie is recovering well apparently"
"What about Luke?"
"Luke died"
"No, oh no, where's Kerry?" Nick asked
"I am going to see her now"
"Oh will you send her my condolences, I can't leave Cass now" Nick said,
"She will understand" Duncan replied
Duncan got into the lift and pushed the button. Nick still in shock from the bad news walks slowly back to Cass's room, but when he gets there he is in for a big surprise Cass has gone. "Excuse me where's my girlfriend?" Nick shouted,
"I am sorry sir I don't know. I will just go and find out for you," the nurse said
"Has something happened? Oh no please god, I only left her for a minute." Nick cried
"Wait one moment sir," the nurse said
The nurse walked off to speak to the doctor. She came back about ten minutes later with Mr Davies a consultant.
"PC Klien?"
"Yes, that's me. What's happened?" Nick said eagerly
'Are you PC Rickman's boyfriend?'
'Yes'
"Ok there was a complication with your girlfriend so we have had to take her back down to theatre"
"No, oh no" Nick cried. As he wept he collapsed into the chair " Will she be alright?"
"We are not sure yet. But there is something PC Klien."
"What"
"Did you know that your girlfriend is pregnant"?
"What, no, oh my god. Is the baby alright?"
"The baby is fine now but that was the complication" Dr Davies said
"A baby, I had no idea. I am going to be a father"
"Yes PC Klien"
"Is Cass out of theatre yet?" Nick asked
"She is in the recovery room at the moment, but if you wait in her room, the porters will bring her down shortly"
"Ok"
"But PC Klien I must once again warn you that there will be a lot of tubes and machines"
"I understand"
Nick walks off down the corridor.
Meanwhile in I.T.U., Jim is still unconscious and Lucy is still with him. June is sitting outside the room trying to fight back the tears in front of Mr Thomas.
"Sgt Ackland, I think you should go home and get some rest, Miss Hampton will let you know if there is any change."
"No I am fine thanks, I want to stay"
"Would you like anything?"
"No thanks" June said wiping away a tear "How is Debbie?"
"Doing well, thankfully. I will go to see her tomorrow"
All of a sudden, there was this loud beeping noise from inside Jim's room. "Oh no" Mr Thomas said
"Jim, no Jim" June shouted
A team of doctors and nurses rushed into the room and one of the nurse's brought Lucy out and sat her down. "What happened Miss Hampton" Mr Thomas said
"I don't know I was sitting there holding his hand telling him how much I loved him and missed him and then the machines started to beep"
June listened to Lucy explain what happened and the more she listened the more tears flowed down her cheeks. The thought of another woman touching Jim instead of her, telling him she loved him that she missed him, it made her feel sick. A nurse came out of the room "Clear the way please" she shouted they pushed the bed with Jim on down the corridor. "Mr Thomas we are going to need you," A doctor shouted. Mr Thomas followed quickly behind. "What's happening" June cried
"I don't know but it doesn't look good does it" Lucy replied
"No"
"You love him don't you" Lucy said
"I don't know, yes, yes I do" June cried, "What am I going to do?"
"I don't think I am the one to ask June. I am in love with him too," Lucy said
"I know and I think he still has feelings for you so I suppose it's been decided for me, I stay single and leave Jim to be with the woman he loves"
"Do you think he still loves me or does he just have feelings for me because of old times?"
"I don't know, I... Oh sorry I can't do this" June runs off down the corridor, she couldn't stay there telling another woman that she thinks the man she loves, loves her. She doesn't want him to love Lucy; she wants him to love her as much as she does him. She runs to the nearest exit and leans over the barrier crying.
Meanwhile outside Duncan found Kerry sitting on a bench crying looking at a photo of her with Luke. "Kerry?"
"Oh Duncan, What am I going to do?" Kerry cried
"You will be alright, you have all your friend's to help you" Duncan said
"Oh Duncan he was so young, we were going to get married and now he has gone, I can't cope on my own"
"Yes you can, everyone will help you get through this"
"Thank you but."
"But nothing, the first thing is to tell your family, they will be awaiting news"
"Yes" Kerry said
"Right well would you like me to ring them and tell them what's happened"
"No, I want to go and speak to them face to face and I want to tell Luke's family"
"Ok, well I will take you" Duncan said
"No you must stay with Liz"
"Liz is fine, she is coming home now"
"Ok, thank you. How are the others? Cass?" Kerry said
"Not to good apparently, Jim is in I.T.U, Debbie is alright, she is recovering well and Cass is still unconscious"
"Oh no they have to pull through I can't lose my best mate as well"
"Don't worry about that now, let's concentrate on you"
"I have to find out how they are before I go and I must see Nick" Kerry insisted
"Nick sends his condolences Kerry but he can't leave Cass right now"
"No I know" Kerry said. She looked over and saw Harry and Liz walking over "How are the other's?"
"Well I have just seen Nick and apparently Cass was rushed back into theatre because of a complication but she is now in the recovery room and is doing well. There was also another surprise for our PC Klien, the complication with Cass was that she is pregnant" Liz said
"Pregnant? No" Duncan said
"Yes and Nick knew nothing about it"
"Is the baby alright?" Duncan asked
"Yes fine"
"At least something good as come out of this then" Kerry said trying to give a small smile.
"Yes" Duncan said putting his arm around her 'How are you?"
"Numb" Kerry said, "How are Jim and Debbie?"
"Debbie is recovering well, apparently Mr Thomas and Jack went to see her, but Jim is not good, I spoke to Lucy and she said he was rushed back into theatre about half an hour ago and he is still in there. Apparently they needed Mr Thomas to operate"
"Oh no, we can't loose him. I would never forgive myself"
"It's not your fault love" Harry said
"If he dies, it is because he tried to save Luke"
"Yes but that's not your fault"
"Look come on Kerry lets get you home, it's been a long, hard night"
"Will you take me to my dad's please"
"Of cause I will" Duncan said
"Thank's' Kerry replied 'Harry, will you do me a favour?" Kerry said
"Anything"
"If anything happens to Cass or Jim will you ring me on this number" Kerry said handing him a piece of paper with the number on
"Yes of course:
Harry kissed her on her cheek and said "Kerry I will see you later"
"Ok thanks"
Kerry climbs into Duncan's car and they drive off. Harry watches as they leave and then he goes back inside to see if there is any more news.
Meanwhile outside theatre, Lucy is still waiting for news. June comes back and sits down. "Are you alright?" Lucy said
"Um, yes, no, oh I don't know" June said putting her head in her hands 'There's no news then"
"No" Lucy replied, "You look tired June, why don't you go home and get some rest, I will let you know if anything happens"
"No, I would rather stay here with Jim"
"What about the others, Tony?" Lucy said,
"Why do you keep mentioning Tony?"
'Jim always told me that Tony had a thing for you" Lucy said
'Oh did he, well nothing is going on between me and Tony we are just friends'
'June go home really there is no need for the two of us to be here and even if Tony is just a friend he could probably do with talking to someone right now and he will probably be wondering where you are, he is staying with you isn't he?'
'Yes his house is being done out' June snapped "Oh I don't know, I should ring him but I can't. I don't want to go home, I want to be with Jim"
"Yes but I am here and as you said, Jim still loves me"
"Look I am not going anywhere, I love..." June said but before she could say anymore, a voice came from behind her.
"June!"
