Hey Guys :D Just a little one-shot today inspired by the shower scene between Smithy and Louise at the start of episode 382 of The Bill! BUT this story in set in 'One Year' land so don't worry - there is no witness protection or Pete Larson about! I hope you like it :D Ellyn xx
Jac slowly started to shift around in the bed, almost attempting to fall back to sleep. Sadly, the world had other ideas. After realising that she just wasn't going to fall asleep, Jac decided to sit up. At 5 months pregnant, most of Jac's morning sickness had generally subsided but Jac had recently caught a passing bug and had been feeling under the weather for the past few days. Jonny had ordered his wife to complete bed rest and had even got a few days off to look after her (much to the annoyance of Mo who had started to miss her best friend.)
As Jac reached over to have some of the water in the glass Jonny had placed on her bedside table, her ears pricked up. There was a strange noise coming from the direction of the bathroom. When she realised that Jonny wasn't in the room with her, she quickly deduced that the strange sound was in fact her husband belting out of his favourite songs. Unfortunately, the mixture of shower noise and poor singing meant that Jac couldn't work out what musical the song came from. Whilst lightly chuckling to herself, a wicked thought crossed Jac's mind. She looked down towards her bump and smiled
"How about we go and give Daddy a big surprise eh!" Jac whispered down towards the bump. She felt her little one move about a little as if in response
Jac slowly and quietly walked towards the bathroom and slowly opened the door wider being careful trying not to make a sound. She walked towards the sink and slowly turned on the tap before backing towards the door and watched. Soon enough, there came a yelp from inside the shower and scuffling as Jonny desperately tried to turn the shower off as soon as possible. Jac started to giggle and grabbed a towel as Jonny appeared from behind the curtain
"Is that you?" Jonny questioned as a small smile crept from Jac's lips as she passed him the towel. After accepting the towel from Jac, he leaned forward and kissed her
"Do you have to go into work today?" Jac asked Jonny, with a hint of disappointment in her voice
"I wish I didn't.." Jac leaned in and kissed him again, trying to persuade him to stay
"..And I don't think I've got anyone to cover me" Jonny said quickly before Jac kissed him again. After realising, Jonny was going into work no matter how many times she kissed him; Jac accepted defeat and let out a little sigh. Jonny picked up on this little sigh and then sighed himself before speaking
"Y'know I'd rather stay her with my two favourite girls" Jonny said in an attempt to bring a smile back to Jac's face. After hearing this, Jac looked up at Jonny and smiled
"One – you better not let Mo hear you say that, Two – we don't know the sex of the baby so if we end up having a boy, I shall remind him of this moment and we'll see who becomes the favourite parent!"
"Oh, so you weren't putting crosses on the princess fairy related things in that maternity magazine last week then?"
Realising even Jac couldn't admit to the fact that she was really hoping that she was carrying a girl, she shrugged her shoulders muttering to herself and climbed back into bed.
"Look, I have to work this morning – Kate's off with the same bug you have and some of the nurses have buggered off on holiday so we're fairly understaffed but I'll make a call for some agency staff and see if I can come back a wee bit earlier ok?" Jonny said to Jac who accepted this on the promise that he made it back as soon as possible.
Jonny smiled and walked towards the bathroom again. He needed to warm himself back up again.
