2 weeks later and Jac had finally reached the 30 week mark. Elliot had forced her to give him some of her patients so as to lighten her load and she was now incredibly bored. She still had patients but they were not due for another 2 hours. The ward was also very quiet, come to think of it she had not seen Mo, Elliot or indeed Jonny for a while. So she walked up to the board to check that its was them on shift. And sure enought in black and white on the large white noard was printed, Monday 2-9 PM: Nurse Maconie, Miss Effanga , Mr Hope and Ms Naylor. So where were they? She took a quick glance around the ward but they were nowhere to be seen. Jac slumped back on the chair, which she loved as the back was adjustable unlike the one in her office, and waited.
For another 10 minutes she sat, drumming her fingers against the nurses station with one hand on her bump, smiling occasionally when her daughter kicked or wriggled.
Then finally her pager went off. She jumped to the side of the desk where she had discarded it earlier.
"Great, AAU, why not Keller at least then I could talk to Sacha?" She said to herself. Slowly Jac heaved herself off the nice comfy chair and made her way to hustle and bustle that was AAU.
"Doors opening, lift going up." The doors barked as Jac stepped out on to AAU. Then suddenly she felt a blindfold cover over her face and multiple hands pushing her forward.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" She shouted.
"Calm down Miss Naylor." Marie-Claire reassured.
"Nurse Carter what on earth-"
Then as quick as it was on the blindfold of pulled away and the hands retreated.
"SURPRISE!" Most of the staff of the hospital shouted and Jonny stepped out from the crowd and smiled.
"Bloody hell Jonny you nearly gave me a god damned heart attack!" Jac shouted rubbing her chest. This caused most of the various staff arranged in front of them to giggle , all of whom where smiling gleefully. Jac admired them confused and cocked her head to the side slightly.
"Jonny", she said suspiciously. "Whats going on, they're all pedo facing me". Again the large crowd laughed, slightly harder this time.
"You know that you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met!" Jonny began.
"Did they put crack in your coffee? Or have you just lost the plot?"
"No I must just love you loads." He said flirtily as he place both his hands on her swollen abdomen.
"Listen Jac, he began, the thing is that, well urm ..."
"Get on with it jock!"
"Oh! OK. Well the thing is Jac, I wanted to show you how much I love you. I wanted to complete our little fairy tale. By asking you one simple little question." And with that he got down on one knee and Jac widened her eyes.
"Jacqueline Na-"
"IT'S JAC!"
"Sorry Jac Naylor, will you marry me?" Everybody was silent as they waited for Jac to reply. Jonny becoming for and more nervous by every millisecond that went by. Jac took a deep breath and replied: "Yes".
Suddenly cheers arrupted from the crowd as Jonny placed the stunning ring on her slender finger. He then got up of his knee and kissed her.
" I love you so so much Jac".
"Not as much as I love you." She replied. "But seriously though, you nearly gave me a heart attack Nurse Maconie!" Jac said Jokily.
