Living In Hope!
Jac Naylor sighed and stared down at herself in the mirror in the staff room. Her small 20 week bump was getting harder and harder to hide. She knew soon she'd have to start telling people -Telling them about the small baby growing inside her stomach. The hurtful thing was that she hadn't even told the father yet. The reason for this was that she only saw him once a month. They met in a hotel in Holby keeping the reservendous a secret between them. She let her mind wander back to the last time she had met him when he had taken her in his arms and declared his undying love for her. That night had been a night of passion. They had barely got any sleep! That morning however had been a different situation. Jac had been terrified when she saw his sleeping form lying in the bed beside her and what did Jac do when she was scared - She ran. That was what she did that morning , she ran. By the time he had awaken from his deep slumber she was long gone. Jac sighed, this had been her big mistake. She had had a chance to make a family with this man who she loved deeply but yet again she had blown it. Allowing her thoughts to linger on the father was the hardest bit. Dark brown hair, deep soulful eyes and a killer smile - Joseph Byrne certainly was the full package. Inwardly she cursed herself for not seizing hold of the opportunity when it came along. Anyone else would have jumped at the opportunity. But not her. She had to go and muck it all up. Now she was pregnant with his baby and had no idea whether he wanted to be involved or not.
Shaking herself out of her brooding thoughts she realised it was time for her shift to end. She opted for the back exit not able to stomach the smell of coffee in the main reception. It was odd she thought - before she was pregnant she would be able to survive the day on a cup of strong black coffee without eating anything else. Now she was snacking every five minutes and even the thought of coffee made her retch.
Arrivimg at at her car made her realise just how much she missed her bike. She had loved the adrenaline rush of it. Racing down the road at 75mph - queen of the road. Her car was nowhere near as fun to drive. True it looked good - a white Mercedes but it was boring not being able to speed even slightly.
Glancing at her watch she realised that she would have to hurry home to be in time for a medical documentary on BBC 1 that she had been looking forward to all day. Clambering into the car she was shocked to realise that she had to push her seat back very slightly to be able to get in a comfortable position to drive. Was her bump really that big? Looking down all she saw was a fat stomach although when she had confided in this to Elliot he had told her that it wasn't her stomach growing but the baby inside her growing. Elliot was the only person that knew about the baby. He was like a father figure to Jac and she thought he had the right to know. Well that and the fact he had caught her snacking on his doughnuts on several occasions. After that it had seemed easier to tell him plus she knew he wouldn't tell anyone.
Sh pulled up in her designated parking space outside the Luxury Apartment block overlooking the river. Checking her watch she realised that she would have to hurry if she wanted to be home in time for the documentary. With regret she stepped into the lift. Normally she would have taken the stairs up,to the 35th floor because it was a good way to burn off the calories and weight she gained by eating Elliot's doughnuts.
Jac unlocked the door and stepped into the comfortable living room. Despite having the penthouse she really only had limited space. She knew once the baby was here she would have even less space. Quickly speed walking into her bedroom she slipped her plain black trousers off and quickly pulled on a pair of baggy pyjama bottoms. Once her top had been replaced with a tight clingy black vest she was ready. She liked the vest because despite emphasising the bump it was comfortable and although she wouldn't be seen dead in it in public here in the security of her home nobody would see her.
She he lazed on the sofa only half paying attention to the documentary. It wasn't as good as it was billed to be. She let her mind wander to what she was going to do for dinner. With no one in the house she didn't always bother eating properly. She doubted there was anything in her cupboards. Deciding that she could wait until he next morning to eat anything was an easy decision. It was one that she had been making a lot over the past few weeks. When Elliot had saw her pale face and the bags under her eyes he had accused her of not looking after herself properly. She had brushed off his claims and continued the way she had before.
Jac ace was forced out of her comfortable position by a rap on the door. She immediately reached for the baggy fleece lying beside the sofa on the floor. The only people who knew where she lived were people from her work and she didn't want them seeing her bump.
Once her bump was covered she hurried to the door. She flung it open and stared at the handsome man on her doorstep with utmost shock. He smiled back at her but she didn't reply , too busy staring at him
Joseph Byrne was back!
