Lustful attraction (Casualty)

022💖

Madison and Cal hadn't talked at all. He had walked off from her when she had asked why he lied to her. All she wanted to know was what had happened. But he couldn't even talk to her.

Madison knew how she was having his baby. But she also knew how tense and awkward it was between them. Especially as she knew she had done wrong by accusing him of sleeping with Alicia. But he had lied to her and then walked away when she confronted him.

Madison didn't want things to be awkward as she was having their baby soon enough. But she just didn't know how to fix it. How to fix them which is all she wanted.

That morning, she woke and checked her phone. She saw nothing from Cal. She rolled onto her back and felt a tear stinging her cheek. She hated how everything wasn't the same.

She climbed out of bed and sighed. She quickly got in the shower. She got dressed and walked downstairs. She saw Esmè sitting there. "Cal is literally avoiding me. He won't talk to me. He said he was going to tell me the truth and then he just left. He didn't tell me."

Esmè looked to her. She smiled. "I checked all the logs. There was no emergency at all when he said there was. You're having his baby Mads. So he needs to talk to you at some point. He can't keep avoiding you."

Madison sat down and nodded. She sighed. "I just don't know. I feel like maybe we're not meant to be together."

"You are. Trust me. You've been through a lot. You're having a baby. So you are meant to be," Esmè said as she took her sister's hand.

Madison smiled and nodded. But she wasn't sure on anything at all.

Madison went into work. She saw Cal and walked over to him. "What on earth is going on with you? You're avoiding me. You're not talking to me. So what is going on?" She asked.

Cal sighed. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Well I do. I'm having your baby. So obviously we need to talk about it. I'm not raising her on my own. I didn't get myself pregnant," Madison told him as she looked to him.

Cal nodded as he looked away from her. "I know. But I can't talk about it right now. So let's just talk later. I'll pick you up."

Madison sighed. She didn't know what to say. "You said that before Cal. I can't keep doing it. I'm not in the mood for it."

Cal nodded. He sighed. "I know. I promise. I'll pick you up 7:30. We can go for dinner and talk. I promise that I'll tell you everything."

Madison nodded. She knew she wanted it work out for their baby. But she was scared it wouldn't. She was terrified actually.

Madison sighed as she walked into the staffroom. She looked to see Esmè sitting there. "Hey. Are you okay?" Madison asked.

Esmè nodded. "Yeah I'm good. Just thinking about baby names. Iain and I can't agree on anything. And it's annoying me. But we're both just playing each other up with it," she told her.

"Cal and I are supposed to be going for dinner tonight to talk. I just don't know anymore," Madison said as she sat down. "He says he's going to tell me why he lied. But part of me can't trust him."

Esmè smiled. "It'll be okay. You've got this."

Madison shrugged and sighed. But could she and Cal make their relationship work? Or was it too late for them?
