"Hi beautiful..." Murmured Jacob stepping up behind Connie. "...how's our little girl doing?" He asked smoothing his hands over her ever so slightly swollen abdomen.
"She's fine...just like she was an hour ago... and the hour before that...I hope I'm not going to get this for the next six months." Grinned Connie as she turned around to face him.
"Its quite possible..." Joked Jacob. "...I'm sorry...I just can't wait for the scan this afternoon...to see how much she's changed in seven weeks since...you know...our 'holiday'..." Connie raised her eyebrow at him waiting for the real reason. "Ok...Ok...I can't wait to tell everyone." He chuckled.
"That's more like it..." Smiled Connie. "...go get some work done...the time will go quicker." She said placing a quick kiss on his lips before heading into resus.
It had been six weeks since Connie and Jacob's 'holiday' on board Voyager, since they'd walked away from the most unbelievable experience they would ever have. They very rarely spoke of their time with Kathryn and Chakotay knowing the reaction they would get if anyone ever learnt of their adventure.
Jacob had moved in with Connie straight after their return, people knew they were together but not about the little girl she carried, today after their first official scan they were going to come clean.
Connie sighed as she looked at her watch again, she had been shuffling paperwork for the last hour and time was passing slowly.
Hearing a knock at the door she looked up to see Jacob letting himself in. "Hey." He greeted her.
"Its not time yet." Connie chuckled at his eagerness.
"Rita sent me on my break...apparently deserve one." Bragged Jacob.
"You mean you've actually been working." Teased Connie getting up from her desk to join him on the sofa. "Not long to wait now."
"Two hours fifteen minutes...I just checked." Admitted Jacob with a chuckle.
"I can't believe have excited I am..." said Connie leaning into Jacob's side. "...I mean we already know it's a girl and we've already seen her on a better image then we'll get today but...I don't know...it's just official."
"I know what you mean..." agreed Jacob. "Do you ever think about them?"
"All the time...do you think Chakotay and Kathryn ever sorted themselves out?" Wondered Connie.
"Technically they haven't been born yet sooo..." Jacob thought for a moment. "...they must exist somewhere out there though, for us to have met them...I don't know...I can't get my head round it."
"I miss them both..." said Connie.
Holding her closer Jacob nodded. "Yeah...me to."
"I should get back to work...I've got loads of paperwork to get through...I'm hoping to leave at a reasonable hour tonight so my boyfriend can cook me a lovely meal." Tried Connie, giving Jacob a sweet smile.
"Is that right..." smirked Jacob. "...and does this boyfriend of yours get a say in the matter?" He asked letting Connie move out of his embrace.
"Sure...of cause he does...he can cook or sleep on the sofa!" Said Connie kissing his cheek.
"Doesn't sound like a choice to me." Grumbled Jacob as he watched her drop down in the chair, pick up her pen and start to write. "...Connie?"
"Hmmm?" She answered, already completely distracted by her work.
"I love you sweet cheeks." He told her sincerely.
Connie looked up giving him a bright smile. "I love you too muscles..." she replied. "I'll see you in a couple of hours."
With that Jacob left to get back to work.
Pulling the curtain around the cubicle he'd just left, Jacob stopped in his tracks. Across the E.D he could see Connie stood waiting, wearing her long blue coat arms folded and handbag slung over her shoulder.
"Erm...Rita?" Asked Jacob looking to his left.
"Yes Jacob?" She answered not missing who had caught his attention.
"My shifts finished...I have an appointment..." Jacob's words trailed off.
"Get yourself off then...don't keep her waiting." Smirked Rita heading back to work.
Jacob sauntered over to Connie. "So sweet cheeks...you ready?" He asked cheerfully.
"Oh yes...come on." Smiled Connie taking his had as they walked through reception and up the stairs.
"We get get to come back down...right?" Jacob pleaded. "Your not going to make me wait till tomorrow...right?"
"We can come straight back down, yes..." Connie squeezed his hand. "...I'm looking forward to seeing the shock on all their faces."
