Our secret affair (Casualty)

Eight

Chloe sighed as she sat in her living room. She heard knocking at the door and sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. She stood up and walked to the door and saw fletch. She felt guilty over how he had taken the wrap for her error. She didn't want for him to get into trouble because of him. She answered the door and looked to him and sighed "I've been calling you, I've been worried" he said as she looked to him and smiled "I know I just needed some time" she said as he nodded. She walked into the kitchen as he followed her. He looked to her and smiled. He was worried over her and knew that there was not a lot he could do to help her "sorry about the mess" she said as he looked to her and smiled "don't look at me like that, I am fine" she said as he looked to her and smiled.

"No, your not. We did the right thing" he said as she ran her hands through her hair and sighed "did we?" She asked as he nodded "we'll soon find out" he said as she started to tidy up "I could never forgive myself if you loose your job" "I won't" he said as she looked to him and sighed "but if you do" "then it will be my decision, Chloe will you stop. I committed fraud but I did it for you, hopefully I'll just get a slap on the wrist" he said as she sighed "a patient could of died, because of us" she said as she stood back feeling dizzy as he walked over to her "are you okay" "just stand still" "I am, come on let's get you checked out" fletch said "I'm fine I just felt sick" "no, we're getting you checked out now" he said as she looked to him and nodded.

Chloe got to the ED with fletch as they saw Charlie. He looked to her and frowned "she had a bit of a wobble" fletch said as Chloe smiled "I'm fine, I just haven't been eating probably it's probably my blood sugar" "do a BM stick to find out for sure" Charlie said as Chloe and fletch walked into the ED. She looked to him and sighed "you need to rest" he said as she looked to him and sighed "worry about the hearing, not me" she said as she walked off as he walked over to the records and typed in her name looking at her records. Fletch looked to it and paled as it realised she had an abortion, it was his baby.

Later that day, Chloe walked through the ED as fletch walked over to her "have you got a second, don't kill me" he said as she looked to him and frowned "I was the last person to look at your medical records, are you okay i saw you had a gynaecologist appointment" "that's none of your business" she spat as he looked to her and sighed "it is, I saw the abortion it was my baby" he said "leave it" she said as she walked off. He followed her and sighed "you should of told me" how? How could I fletch, your married and besides your having another kid" "I don't want one with her chloe" fletch said as Chloe rolled her eyes "well it's too late" she spat as she walked off.

Later, Chloe stood by reception as fletch walked over to her "HR called down for you fletch" Louise said as Chloe looked to him and smiled "I'll be fine" he said as she nodded "what you didn't know couldn't hurt you, I'm sorry" she said "knowledge is power and everything" he said as she looked to him and smiled. He walked off as she walked over to him and sighed "you said you didn't want to be a dad,  I was scared and I thought it wouldn't hurt as you didn't know" she said as he looked to her and sighed "but it did" he said as he walked off.
