The Other Branning ~ Eastenders

Ollie

"Oh my god! LEE!" Grace called to her fiancé. She had been watching Ollie while Mick and Linda were downstairs minding the bar, and Lee was cooking up some dinner for them on the kitchen. Lee came running in, Ollie was fitting and having a seizure. She had no idea what to do.

"Yeah, ambulance please. It's my little brother, he's having a seizure. The Queen Victoria, Albert Square." Lee told them, he was taking the lead. He hung up as the ambulance told them they were on the way.

Lee proceeded to put Ollie into the recovery position, trying not to restrict his movements. "Grace, go and get my Mum and Dad." He ordered her. Grace ran downstairs, finding Mick.

"Whoa, you ok?" Mick caught her hurrying down the stairs.

"No! It's Ollie! Somethings happening, Lee's called an ambulance. You need to go up there right now, Ollie needs you." She told him hurriedly, Mick ran to get Linda and they both rushed upstairs. "Yeah, what can I get you?" Grace wiped a year from her eye, someone needed to mind the bar while Mick and Linda were busy with Ollie, anything could be happening to him, he needed them.

"I'll 'ave a point please, my girl." Jack grinned at his daughter. "Really making something of yourself aren't you? I'm so proud, Gracie." Jack told her.

"Dad." Grace ran to her Dad and fell into his arms. "Ollie had a seizure while I was watching him and I didn't know what to do!"

"Hey, hey, don't worry, it's not your fault. These things happen all the time, it'll be ok. They'll get him to hospital, and figure out what's wrong. It's probably just something minor. The amount of times I had to take you and Amy into hospital." Jack sighed, holding his daughter in an attempt to comfort her.

The ambulance arrived and rushed Ollie to hospital. Mick and Linda went with him, but Lee stayed. He was upset, seeing his little brother like that had torn him.

"Lee? What's happened?" Shirley asked him.

"Ollie, he had a fit. Mum thinks he's got epilepsy like Nancy. But Dad thinks it's because of the knock on the head he got the other day, 'Coz Nancy pushed me." Lee sighed. "This could all be my fault, Shirl. It could be my fault that Ollie's I'll, mine." Lee broke down in front of his Nan.

"Lee, Lee, it's NOT your fault at all! It's probably going to be fine, it'll be something really simple, you'll see. Don't think like that." Grace pulled him into her warm embrace, it was her turn to comfort her fiancé.

"If it turns out to be my fault-"

"Lee, if it turns out to be the fall that caused it, then it'll be Nancy's fault, not yours. She started all of it, all the arguments, she pushed you. You didn't mean to knock into Ollie's high chair, she pushed you and you fell. You've been trying to clear up all these arguments for ages. Come on, why don't you come with me to pick up Amy?" She asked him.

"Yeah, yeah, I could do with a walk and some fresh air. Alright." Lee agreed, Grace wiped his tears away and they left the pub.

"Lee!" Amy called out excitedly as she saw who was waiting to pick her up. She always loved it when Grace picked her up, even more so when Lee came with her. "I thought Mummy was picking me up today?"

"We swapped so Mummy's going to get you tomorrow." Grace explained to Amy as Lee picked her up.

"Can I have a big hug?" Lee asked. "I've had a really bad day." Amy laughed at him but nodded, throwing her arms around his neck and snuggling into his shoulder.

"Why? What happened?" Amy pulled back and asked.

"My little brother got a bit ill today, and it wasn't nice to see." Lee told her the bear minimum, she was only young and he didn't want to upset her.

"Like when Gray comes home drunk and I'm not allowed to see her because she be's sick everywhere?" Amy made Lee chuckle. "It's so gross it goes everywhere and Daddy always moans loads because he has to clean it all up."

"Well thankfully I haven't had to see that yet." Lee smiled at her. She was always humorous and could make anyone laugh, even when they didn't feel like it.

"How do you fancy some chips?" Grace asked her little sister.

"Yay!" Amy excitedly chattered. "Can Lily come? She's my best friend." Amy asked.

"Why don't you go and ask Martin?" Lee told her. Amy skipped down and went to find Martin and Lily. "Are you feeling ok?" Lee asked Grace, putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Don't you worry about me. Let's just focus on making sure Ollie's ok." Grace told him. "And you. Make sure you tell me if it's too much, or there's too much pressure on you. I want you to tell me, I'm going to be your wife and I'll be here for you now matter what. Because I love you, Lee." Grace told him.

"I love you too, babe. And I'm fine, please don't worry about me. Ollie's gonna be ok and everything will be good again." Lee promised her, hoping against all hopes that he would be right.

"Lily's coming!" Amy skipped back up to them, with Lily in tow.

"Are you sure this is alright? Amy just asked and I said it was ok as long as it was ok with you two. I've actually, erm, gotta go and see Stacey in a bit, Kyle was going to look after Lily, but I don't really trust him. You couldn't watch her till I'm back?" Martin asked.

"Amy's going back to Dad after we've taken her and Lily for chips, but yeah, she can stay at Dad's for the night and we'll pick her stuff up on the way back." Grace told him.

"Your a life saver!" Martin thanked her and rushed off to his car.
