#2 in Holby tagged stories October 2021!!!! Life has been good for Kian Madani and his small family. He continues to save lives in the Darwin ward with Jac and Nicky while his wife Haley works in the hospital gift shop. Their adorable daughter Farrah is going through the terrible twos and is an absolute daddy's girl. It is only days after getting the best news ever that disaster strikes. Kian is injured in a car accident and is terrified of having to take pain medication; if he relapses on his painkiller addiction, he has everything to lose. Can Kian stay strong for his family, or will another devastating blow push both him and Haley to the edge?

"I don't want to lose this." He whispered, before kissing her forehead and bringing her in closer to him. Not willing to startle him, or make him feel awkward, Jac didn't respond. Instead, she just focused on the slowing rise and fall of his chest and the rhythmic drumming of his heartbeat with her answer ringing in her mind. Neither did she. *** Ever since she'd saved Kian from himself on that dreaded mountain, Jac's found herself unusually drawn to the charming consultant, sucked in by the gravity that haunts his skin. But, absolutely terrified that she's fallen for a man she knew could never reciprocate her feelings, she does everything she can to distance herself from him and ignore her heart's drive. Little does she know, her predictions about the Canadian's emotions may not be correct at all. Follow the joint clinical leads as they run the Darwin ward, save lives and maybe, just maybe, find what they'd always been searching for... in each other. (Disclaimer: I do not own any of these character, but for the sake of this story, Emma is younger than she is currently. I don't know why, just wrote it that way and I'm too lazy to go back and rewrite it lmao)
