Chapter 2:
"What the hell were you playing at out there?" Raf shouts as he slams the office door shut and tells Cara to also sit down.
"I was just telling her the trust that's all?" Cara mumbles.
Raf gives a half laugh and replies "Yes I could see that, but for your information Nurse Martinez that eighteen year old girl has just lost her mother over three weeks ago and now she thinks she is going to die!"
Cara looks at her hands and mutters something.
"What was that Nurse?" He questions sarcastically.
"erm..." She stutters.
"Oh leave it Nurse! Do you realise how unprofessional naive and quiet frankly plan stupid you were out there?" Raf shouts.
Cara jumps and replies to him calmly as she remember she can't stress her baby out "I was trying to be honest with her."
"Yes I could see that but you've left that girl terrified" Raf explains in a harsh tone. "God knows what you're going to be like as a mother" Raf says without thinking about Cara's feelings.
Cara sits there starring at her lap unsure of what to say but sitting there open mouthed almost in shock.
"Look Raf" Cara breaths and jolts forward.
As she jolts forward Raf dashes to her side "Are you okay?" Raf says as he places his hand on her back.
"Yes... probably just Braxton Hicks... I need some air" Cara stammers.
She stands herself up and places her hand in the arch or her back an walks over towards the door "You don't want me to come with you do you just in case?" Raf questions and Cara shakes her head.
"How old do you think I am Raf sixty five? I'm pregnant not dying of a life threatening disease" Cara snaps at him.
She makes her way out of the office and towards the stairwell, she sits herself down on the steps and looks out the window, the Window has been left on the latch so there is cool air blowing in. "You do know how to make me feel comfortable don't you?" Cara says as she feels another little foot stick out.
She hears the door swing open and shut on one of the lower levels and continues to stroke her bump with her thumb and index finger. "Since when have you been pregnant?" a familiar voice speaks up.
"Robyn? What are you doing here" Cara questions as she holds onto the banister and pulls herself up.
"Since about seven months ago" Cara laughs as she steps forward and hugs Robyn. She studied at Uni with Robyn when she was eighteen until she was twenty two and in the time she spent at Uni with Robyn she had become great friends and until Cara got a job at North Church and Robyn came to Holby City General hospital. "Long time no see" Cara adds.
"Defiantly long time no see" Robyn says enthusiastically gesturing towards Cara's bump "So tell me who's the lucky man who is becoming a Daddy soon?" Robyn adds unaware of Cara's situation.
Cara smiles at her and replies "He's not on the scene anymore"
"Seriously why ever not?" Robyn questions.
"B-Because he couldn't face it that his unborn child will need heart surgery a few hours after birth or days depending on the babies health" Cara explains and Robyn grows sympathetic towards Cara.
Once Robyn has left Cara decides to head back to the ward as she has been gone long enough. "oh dear" Cara mutters as she jolts forwards once again "Please don't make an early appearance" Cara begs but soon the pain passes and she heads back to the ward for the last two hours of her shift.
"Phone!" Raf demands as he gets out the lift with Cara on the ground floor.
"What! Why?" she questions
"I've been watching you today, you've been having contractions haven't you?" Raf says as he follows her outside.
"What No! I'm only thirty weeks not yet time" Cara replies in shock towards what Raf has just said to her.
"Cara I know your lying" Raf speaks.
Cara gives him an unsure look "I'm...argh" Cara says as Raf grabs hold of her.
She hands Raf her phone and he types his number into her phone "I'm doing this is a friendly way don't get any ideas! If you feel the need to call me that also includes if your waters do break or you think something is wrong" Raf explains and finally hands Cara her phone back, "Now can I offer you a lift home because you're in no fit state to walk" Raf says and Cara finally submits and walks over to Raf's car with him and gets in.
Once Cara has been dropped off by Raf she decides to make herself comfortable and takes a bath although she kept drifting off to sleep in the bath she found that her Braxton Hicks weren't as bad as they were earlier.
She gets out the bath and wraps a towel around herself and heads towards her bedroom and puts her me to you pyjamas on. Cara decides to herself a cup of tea to take to bed with her and hopefully she won't fall asleep before drinking it this time "You are a little monkey aren't you" Cara says as she bumps her hand over her bump as her baby is kicking pretty hard this time.
A few days later Cara is still having Braxton Hicks and has finally got Raf to trust her on that it is just Braxton hicks and she has also told Serena that she is fine to carry on working even though Raf seems very protective of her.
"Do you think Raf is trying to protect me?" Cara questions Morven as she hands Morven a bottle of water.
"I don't follow" Morven replies.
"Every time I gasp, breath heavily or even move quickly or for that matter of fact when I bend down he constantly asks me if I'm alright and the baby" Cara explains and Morven nods along.
"He might just be worried because of your baby's heart condition" Morven answers.
Cara gives a confused look "But he isn't the father of my baby" Cara begins and Morven gives her the 'Are you sure' look "Yes Morven I am one hundred percent sure that this baby isn't his, I have never slept with a Scots man not even Raf-" Cara is cut off by Morven.
"Are Y-" she begins but it cut off by Cara.
She rolls her eyes at Morven "Leave it now, I'm fed up of people treating me like I have 'fragile' stamped across my forehead or even tattooed "Cara moans as she balances her bottle of water on her bump as it amuses her when the baby kicks and manages to kick the water bottle off her.
