I though it'd be nice if Jac had someone to comfort her for once instead of being alone all the time
I hope you guys enjoy this, please review so that I know if I should be carrying on with it and it's not boring you all
thanks :) xx
Chapter 2: Joliver
"Well?" Jac said fighting back the tears "Are you going to say anything?"
Jonny remained silent and still as if a single twitch or the tiniest sound from him will cause an explosion. He just stared. Stared deeply into Jac's eyes not noticing the tears streaming down Jac's face.
Jac was getting worried; she stepped forwards closer to Jonny
"Jonny please say something" she pleaded
He took a step back and ran his hands through his hair, still silent. Jac had enough.
"Do you know what, don't bother, I'll bring up the anti-Christ alone" she said her tone hurt before storming out of the office, slamming the door with tears falling heavily down her face.
Ollie at the nurses' station jumped at the sound of the door slamming, he looked up and saw Jac storming away from her office. Is she crying? He asked himself "Ms Naylor" he called. She turned her head and looked at him for a millisecond before running off, sobbing in the direction of the changing rooms. Ollie shot up and chased after her mortified with how devastated Jac looked.
Ollie closed the door behind him as he entered the changing room. Nothing could have prepared Ollie for what he was about to see. He gasped silently as he saw his boss all cuddled up in a ball on the bench crying her eyes out. His boss, Jac Naylor; the ice-queen of Darwin, sobbing. It didn't feel or look right at all, he decided it would be best for him to stay and at least attempt to comfort her as he knew she would probably push him away and tell him to get on with what he is being paid to do. He approached her slowly and whispered softly "Ms Naylor? What's happened?"
"Go away" she said quietly her voice sounded broken
"Not until you tell me what has upset you so much" he said sitting down next to her putting a protective arm around her
Jac lifted her head slowly and looked at him, she realised he wasn't going to leave so she might as well tell him. He couldn't believe how vulnerable she looked. How broken and alone she looked.
They sat in silent "I'm pregnant" she blurted after her sobs has subsided
"Oh Jac" he said soothingly "Is it Jonny's" he asked. She nodded her head. "Have you told him?" she nodded her head and sniffed. "I take it he didn't take the news well" she nodded again. "What did he say?"
"Nothing... That's what upset me the most, he couldn't even say anything, but then again he did say he was past the point of caring"
"Give him time to digest the news, I mean it is a bit of a shock" Ollie said reassuringly "Are you going to keep it?"
"I don't know, I really don't, because this isn't the right time and I can't bring it up alone but it may be my only chance" Jac explained quietly
"How do you mean?" Ollie asked as he didn't know what she meant
"I have endometriosis"
"Oh Jac" Ollie gave her a squeeze and she rested her head on his chest. He had to admit, he was surprised that Jac did this as she usually rejected any type of contact comfort.
"I'm sure Jonny will come round once he has digested the news, he'll be there to support the baby" Ollie tried to comfort her but she just shook her head.
"No, he won't want it. Ollie you don't understand how much he hurt me when he said those things" Jac started crying again as the memories of that day outside the theatre came back to her.
"What did he say" he asked. He knew that they'd had split up but he wasn't sure why and how they split up.
"He said, who would want to have a baby with me anyway and any product that came out of my womb would be the anti-Christ" mimicking his Scottish accent. Ollie laughed at her accent, Jac looked up into his eyes and smiled ever so slightly then Ollie's face fell serious
"He said that?" she nodded slightly and looked down. He couldn't believe it, Jonny? The charming sweet guy that found a way to penetrate Jac's barriers that had she build to protect herself over the years.
"Jac listen to me, you are the most amazing, special woman, and I know you have been through so much in your life I can see it in your eyes. I'm sure that Jonny didn't mean what he said, he might have been so angry that he said it in the heat of the moment. But I am sure of one thing" he paused to let Jac look back at him "I know he loves you very much and you love him too" Jac burst into tears, she was sure that her hormones were playing up as she was never so emotional before.
"I do" she sobbed "I love him, but he doesn't love me anymore, I've hurt him too much, this is just like Joseph all over again. I push and push people away until they hate me and I ruin everything"
Ollie wrapped both his arms around her while she sobbed into his chest they sat there like that for a while until Jac stopped crying.
"I can't be a mother" exclaimed as if she had just realized pulling herself away from Ollie's embrace. "I can't be a mother because I'll just keep pushing the baby away until it resents me so much" she panicked "oh god what if I abandon it like my mother abandoned me, I can't let that happen to it" Ollie was surprised about that, he never knew that her mother abandoned her but he decided to leave that for another time as her pregnancy and Jonny was the main subject of the conversation so instead he rolled his eyes and said
"Jac shut up and stop worrying" Jac looked at him eyebrows raised as if to say 'remember who you're talking to' he just laughed "You're going to be an amazing mother and the fact that your mother abandoned you will make you an even better mother because you won't allow your child to go through what you did, will you?" she shook her head. He smiled at her and lifted her chin like a brother would do to his sister "Remember Freya? You were amazing with her, who's to say you won't care for your own child better?" She smiled at the memory of baby Freya. "And one more thing, don't worry about being alone because I'm here" he looked deep into her eyes to let her know that he wasn't going anywhere.
"Thanks Ollie" she rested her head on his chest his arm still around her, her face still tear stained and blotchy. "I may not show it, but I really do care about you Ollie"
"I care about you too Jac" He gave her a gentle squeeze and they sat there for quite a while before Jac got up and said "Right well we better go otherwise people will die" he laughed at how she was able to care for her patients when she was at her most vulnerable. 'This is why you are amazing' he thought to himself. Jac turned to leave the changing rooms but before she left she gave Ollie a small smile. As the door closed Ollie let out a heavy sigh "Now that's something you never see every day" he said quietly to himself.
