Race Against Christmas Time
Chapter 1
Basically, i had this idea when i was at my aunts house and we were talking about not knowing what to buy people, then i thought it would be funny to do a fic about Janny not knowing what to buy each other, so in this Jac and Jonny are together, she's 38 weeks pregnant (due 7th January) and decide to buy each other secret gifts to a certain amount of money! I hope you enjoy reading it, if you do ill carry it on until she gives birth or something like that ...
It was a week til Christmas and Jac and Jonny were sitting in the consultants office looking through catalogues and browsing different websites for Christmas gifts for each other as they had got everyone elses, but after finding many gifts that they both assumed they would like, they found themselves at a loose end, in two minds about whether to buy the items or not.
"You do know that you are the most difficult person to buy presents for don't you?" Jac said, as she flicked the past of the next catalogue,
"You're not much easier yourself! The only things ive managed to find is stuff for the baby!" Jonny replied, as he searched for the new look website, in search for a nice dress for when Jac was back in shape after the birth
"Why are you getting stuff for the baby? Im not due until the 7th of January!" Jac said, tilting her head to the side as she threw a sarcastic stare in Jonny's direction.
"Because before you know it she will be here with us, in our arms! Now what do you want for Christmas Naylor!" Jonny demanded as he looked over at her.
"I don't know! I have everything that I want, You, Our house and our daughter who will be with us very shortly! What else could I need!" Jac said, blowing Jonny a cheeky kiss before she looked back at the catalogue.
"Aww you going soft on me Naylor!" Jonny said, pretending to catch the kiss and put it in his pocket.
A couple of hours later, Jac and Jonny were doing their ward rounds, Jac had been banned from doing any sort of surgery or tedious as she was heavily pregnant and could go in to labour at any moment, much to her dismay and protest she agreed to only do ward rounds and paper work as she had been granted to work up until her due date, in full Naylor style.
"Ok Mr Jones, you're wound is looking clean and seems to be healing nicely, and your sats are stable, I don't see why you cant be discharged today? Ill just go and chat with Professor Hope and see about getting you discharged ready for Christmas!" Jac said, jotting down in the notes his BP, Heart rate and observations of the wound.
Just as they walked away from the patient Jonny had come up with an idea about buying each others gift, they both walked up to the nurses station and took a seat, as Jac sat down, she held her back, she had been experiencing back pain for a while now and knew she was getting close to the labour process
"You know we were talking about what to buy each others gifts earlier, well i've had an idea!" Jonny said, eager to let Jac in with the plan that he had come up with,
"Gosh, you better tell me this 'idea' before it disappears!" Jac said sarcastically as she spun her chair around so it was facing Jonny,
"Ha, funny Naylor! I don't see you coming up with any ideas... anyway why don't we each spend say, £100 on each other, getting gifts that we think that we would like, then we have each put the effort in to getting the gifts?" Jonny explained, looking like an excited puppy, however Jac looked a bit unsure,
"I don't know, im no good at the shopping stuff its more your thing..." Jac said, nervously as she was still at a blank at what to get him,
"Come on Naylor, live a little, anyway I think it would be fun! Then everything will be a surprise and we would love it either way?" Jonny said, trying to convince her opt in to the idea,
After much deliberation and thought, Jac finally came round to the idea, after thinking about some really cute stuff that she could get for him,
"You know what, yeah im up for it, i think it will be hilarious, I could get you another Andy Murray book!" Jac said, bursting with laughter as she remembered the look on his face last Christmas when he opened the secret santa present that she had bought him.
"I do not look like Andy Murray! ... Ah I knew you bought that bloody book! I just knew it!" Jonny said, feeling accomplished as he managed to find out who bought the book he received the Christmas before.
Jac sat there with a big smile on her face, as she had managed to keep the secret for that long.
"Shall we go for a Hot Chocolate? We are due a break about now!" Jonny suggested as he held his hand out to his heavily pregnant girlfriend to pull her up, Jac took hold of his hand, using her other hand on the desk to help her up.
Once she was on her feet, she waddled alongside Jonny and made their way to the coffee shop downstairs, hand in hand.
As soon as they reached the ground floor, Jonny went and stood in the short queue whilst Jac went and saved them a booth, whilst she was alone she pulled out her phone and went in to her notes app, starting a new note page to write down her ideas of what to get Jonny,
'something off the baby, t-shirt saying Best Daddy in the world?
mug, keyring,
Canvas of me and Him
New phone as his is pants!
Decent DVD's and not Musicals
Shoes
Underwear...
Jonny then picked up the large cardboard cups of Hot Chocolate and carried them over to the large booth, where Jac was messing around on her phone,
"You on that sodding game again! Just give up it is impossible to get past that level!" Jonny said, placing the piping hot cup in front of Jac and sitting down opposite her, Jac quickly put her phone away, saving what she had wrote and shoved it into her scrubs pocket,
"Oh yeah I know, but it's addictive I cant get enough of it!" Jac replied, going along with what Jonny had said to save having a lecture as he tried to find out what she was writing,
"So, I saw this wee little fairy outfit for the baby on the tesco website, I might go and pick one up after work, it's so cute and it has little tights with fairy slippers sewn into the pattern!" Jonny said, telling Jac what he had found when he was meant to be looking for Christmas presents for Jac.
"Oh right, yeah I need to pop to tesco's we are running low on toilet roll and bread!" Jac said, twiddling her thumbs as she cupped her hands around the now warm cardboard cup.
"Oh Mr T called earlier, I think he wants a word about your birth plan and he wants to check you over before you give birth!" Jonny informed Jac, before he took a sip of his drink, Jac sat there wondering why Mr T wanted to check her over before she gave birth,
"Why does he need to check me over, there's nothing wrong with me! It's just a waiting game now!" Jac asked, still not able to put her finger on the reason for the check over,
"I kinda told him that you have been having bad back pains, having boughts of diarrhoea and had thrown up and a couple of occasions so he wants to check whether your in early labour or not!" Jonny said, before taking a big gulp of his drink,
"Jonny!" You panic to much ... anyway lets get back up to the ward, before everyone thinks we've gone awol!" Jac said as they both picked up their drinks and headed towards the lift as it had just opened ...
