This was just an idea that I had. In this, Jac and Jonny are getting on like they are on TV now (speaking but not officially together.)
It was mid December and it was two weeks before Jac's due date and she was sitting at home after being being forced on maternity leave by Elliot, Mo and Jonny. They didn't physically force her, they just 'encouraged' her as Jonny had put it.
In other words, every time Jac was in theatre or with a patient, she was supervised by one of the three. In fact, she didnt even have to be near a patient, as soon as she stepped onto Darwin, she was followed.
Every five minutes one of them would ask if she was okay and every time she was dealing with a patient, Jonny would cheerfully tell them how him and Jac, who was trying to ask the patient questions, were having a baby. Not that they needed telling of course because her bump was huge! She couldn't walk normally and as much as she tried not to, she couldn't help but waddle a little.
They were constantly with her and they would never leave her unattended, even if Jac went to the toilet, which was almost every hour, Jonny made Mo follow her in and Jonny was waiting outside the ladies waiting for her to come out.
When Jac wanted to be alone, she tried to escape but she couldn't because even Elliot could walk faster than her. If she went to her office, Elliot would also sit at his desk and if he was in theatre, Jonny would sit on the sofa infront of her desk. They had kept that up for nearly a week and were surprised at how long she had lasted, but two days ago, she finally cracked. Jac remembered shouting at Mo saying that she would rather pee alone, but Mo stood still. Jac, although the need to urinate was urgent, didn't go to the toilet and she walked out of the ladies. Jonny was waiting for her as usual.
She remembered him saying "that was quick." And she walked, or waddled, away still with Jonny and Mo behind her. Some patient's relative had entered the ward with a fresh coffee. The smell of which made Jac gag and Jonny had grabbed a kidney dish just in time as she vomited into it in the middle of Darwin.
She remembered being humiliated and walked quickly to her office with tears in her eyes, the damn hormones. Jac slammed the door and locked it and let herself cry however, Mo and Jonny entered the second door. And she just gave in, although she used some more 'choice' words, she remembered shouting through her tears, "Fine, you win." She then went quickly to the locker room, didn't bother getting changed and grabbed her bag. She called a taxi and went home and hadn't spoken to either of them since. She had assumed that Jonny would have told Mr Hanssen that she had finally taken maternity leave.
Jac already knew she was expecting a little baby girl, but Jonny had chosen not to know. So every time Jonny followed her, Jac threatened to tell him and when she did he put his hands over his ears and carried on following her saying "la la la la la!"
It was 5:30pm and Jac assumed that Jonny and Mo would be in Albi's with Sacha and everyone else that could drink alcohol. Jac had been bored all day, she had felt the baby move a little which relaxed her, but for the most part, she spent it reading up on the internet for how to be a good mum and the birthing process; she didn't like the sound of it one bit. She was even so bored that she tried out some of the recommended positions to see which one she felt more comfortable in but to be honest, she just felt stupid doing them.
Jac got up to get a glass of water, after a few sips she got an extremely sharp pain run through her lower abdomen. It was so unexpected and painful that it made Jac drop the glass onto the tiled floor and it smashed into many pieces. The pain caused her to drop to the floor, she managed to squat long enough for her to brush any glass away from a small area where she collapsed. She ripped her phone out of her pocket and took deep breaths as the pain subsided. Wait. It was only once, it was probably just Braxton hicks. Jac put her phone back in her pocket, and relaxed on the floor for five minutes. She took a deep breath and stood up. Jac was slightly achy but she made her way to the bathroom via the hall way. After urinating for the second time of the hour, Jac walked back into the hallway.
Another pain took her by surprise yet again and she fell back until she hit the wall. Jac slowly slid down the wall onto the carpet. 'This is it.' She thought. Jac took her phone out of her pocket and dialled Jonny who she had saved in her contacts as 'Aa Jonny' so that he was at the top.
"Hello?" Jonny answered, he obviously hadn't checked the caller ID and saw that it was Jac because she thought he would have been panicking by now.
"Jonny, I think it's time." She said calmly as the pain subsided. She was still sitting on the carpet with her legs out in front of her. She liked to pull her knees up to her chest but she couldn't because of her bump.
"What? You mean the baby?" He replied, surprisingly he was calm, presumably so that he didn't panic Jac.
"No, I mean it's time have sex, Of course I mean the baby." Jac said sarcastically.
"Right, um listen. Stay calm, I'm going to come and get you I just need to put the phone down for thirty seconds okay? Have your waters broke?"
"No."
"Right, I'll call you back as soon as I can okay?"
"Yep." Jac replied as she chucked the phone down on the floor next to her. She didn't see the point in getting up if she was only going to be in pain again.
Jonny quickly ended the call and dialled Mo.
"Hello?"
"Mo, have you left work yet?"
"No I've just got out of theatre and I've got some paperwork to do. Why?"
"Jac's gone into labour and Ive had two pints can you take me to hers?" Jonny said very quickly.
"Yeah sure, meet me by my car." Mo said as she put the phone down and ran to the locker room to get her keys. On the way she bumped into Elliot.
"Elliot, Jac's gone into labour and Jonny's had a drink so I've got to go." Mo said quickly as she grabbed her bag and pegged it down to the car park.
Meanwhile, as soon as Jonny put the phone down, he ran the 500m to Mo's car and he redialled Jac.
"Hello?" Jac forced out through another contraction.
"Jac, I'm on my way." He lied as he approached Mo's car but she wasn't there yet."Just take-"
"Aaahhh!" Jac shrieked as he dug her heels and her hands into the floor in the hallway.
"Okay, just stay calm. How often are they?"
"Just get here now Jonny." Jac demanded as she put the phone down.
"Hello? Jac? Oh you cow." Jonny muttered as she had hung up on him
Mo ran up behind him and they both jumped into the car. "Have her waters broke?"
"Um, I don't think so no."
"How often are contractions?"
"I just asked her that and she said 'get here now' then hung up on me." Jonny explained as he pulled his best stroppy cow face. Mo had already pulled out of the car park and was on their way to Jac's. Jonny hadn't been to Jac's flat for months. In fact, now that he though of it, he handing been there since before she had conceived their baby.
After crossing several red lights and seeing the sad faces on the speeding boards in a 30mph zone saying 54mph, they arrived out side Jac's building. Jac was only on the first floor so Jonny ran up the stairs, with Mo following slightly slower.
He knocked frantically on the door, wondering if she was able to actually answer it, after deciding she probably couldn't, Jonny opened the door and saw Jac straight ahead in the hallway, leaning up against the wall on the floor.
"Right, how frequent are they?" Jonny asked as he ran next to her and knelt on the floor.
"Every fifteen minutes or so I think." Jac replied as she took deep breaths.
"When was the last one?"
"About ten minutes ago. Mo? What are you doing here?" Jac replied, she knew there was one coming soon.
"I thought it's my turn to watch." Mo joked.
"Right er, lets get you to Holby." Jonny said as he attempted to grab her arm but Jac shook him off.
"No, they'll only turn me away until my waters have broken or I'm dilated and besides, I'm booked in at a suite at the kingfisher clinic."
"Jac that's half an hour away." Jonny stated as Mo stood next to him.
"So? we'll have to wait for me to become further progressed until I get admitted at Holby. Kingfishers will take me now. I'm not arguing Jonny, I'm going to kingfishers even if I have to get a taxi there." Jac explained.
"Right fine. Um, have you packed your bag?" Jonny asked, he knew Jac wasn't going to give in.
"Yeah, it's in the nursery." Jac said tactfully.
"Nursery?"
"Yeah, it used to be the spare room." She murmured. Jonny left to go to the nursery, he wondered what she had done, and Mo knelt down next to Jac.
"Oh my..." Jonny said as he walked into the nursery.
Thanks for reading! I was going to say that Jac had 3D letters on the wall for the name of Jac's baby and Im not sure what to do. I know it's a girl but I was thinking something Celtic like Imogen or Daniella. Please let me know if you have any other ideas :) Pretty please can you review :D
