Happy Birthday Too...
Chapter 2
...
"Everything ok" he asked, placing his other hand on her bump.
"Yeah, are we all ready to leave" Jac replied, as Emma ran over to her and grabbed her hand tightly.
"Yeah let's get moving, I'm driving!" Jonny said, grabbing the car keys before Jac could, and walking out of the house...
...
They had all been on the road for half an hour, trying to drive close together so they didn't get lost along the way. Emma had fallen asleep during the long drive, after singing frozen songs at the top of her lungs with Jonny.
Jac however had been quiet for most of the journey so far, occasionally resting her hand at the base of her bump, trying not to make it obvious to Jonny that she was in discomfort.
"Are you excited for today?" Jonny asked, trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, it'll be nice to get out of Holby for the day and treat Emma and our other little girl" Jac replied, forcing out a small smile towards him.
"More like I'm going to spoil you, Emma and the baby! Oh Emma told me something sweet earlier!" Jonny said, quickly glancing over to Jac before looking back at the road.
"She must get her soft side from you! What did she say then?" Jac said sarcastically as she leant back in her seat in an attempt to get comfortable.
"Ha ha, we all know your the ice queen! And she was talking about getting a new teddy from that bear factory and said we need to get you one" Jonny explained, smiling as he spoke.
"Oh and why would I need a teddy bear?" She answered looking all confused.
"Because she said when your grumpy you can cuddle her and your teddy until I get home!" Jonny said, beaming with pride.
"Bless her! She's definitely like her dad!" Jac replied, glowing with pride also.
"With her mothers gorgeous looks and hair!" Jonny added, as he winked at Jac, who rolled her eyes at the thought.
"I wouldn't agree with you at this particular moment in time, her mum is fat, tired and fed up! Hardly pretty is it?" Jac spoke up, chuckling as she spoke.
"Oh no, I disagree! You're gorgeous! You glow during pregnancy, it suits you, it makes you even sexier" Jonny explained with passion.
Jac scoffed with disagreement as she smiled out of the window. Moments later Jac began to experience nausea, holding the back of her hand against her mouth, Jonny quickly look over to her with a worried look on his face.
"Everything ok Naylor?" Jonny asked, placing one hand on Jac's knee.
"Yeah, something must have agreed with me!" She replied, hoping the conversation would end there.
In Mo's and Mr T's car...
"We really need to start talking about names! She'll be here with us before we know it!" Mr T said, glowing as he did every time he spoke about his unborn daughter.
"I know, I know, it's a big decision! It's got to be right!" Mo replied, sweetly.
"Well I've been looking through baby books and I've found a few that I think we'd both like!" Mr T explained.
"You have way too much free time on your hands!- go on then, shoot!" Mo answered sarcastically.
"Okay, Holly, Evalyn, Maddy..." Mr T said, naming them out off of the top of his head.
"I like Evalyn, but if we shortened it to Evie Maybe..." Mo suggested, giving Mr T the puppy dog eyes.
"Evie? Yes I like Evie! Maybe if we could modernise it a little, how about Evie-Mae Thompson" Mr T answered, quickly glancing over to Mo before looking back at the road.
"Evie-Mae Thompson, I love it! I think we may have finally cracked it!" Mo said happily.
"How About it, Evie-Mae?" Mr T said, placing his free hand on Mo's bump.
"Anyway, Jonny was telling me earlier that he reckons Jac's in early labour" Mo said, quickly changing the conversation.
"Oh really, what tell tale signs has he seen?" Mr T said, sounding a bit surprised, as he had only checked Jac over the other day because of her early labour last time.
"He says she's been getting pains all morning and night, feeling sick, paler than usual..." Mo explained as Mr T sat there listening attentively.
"Mmm, if I remember rightly she was like this when she was in early labour with Emma! But it could be days yet!" Mr T replied. Mo looked over to him, she thought it was cute when he got all serious about his work.
"What you smiling at?" Mr T as,ed nervously, quickly glancing over to Mo smiling.
"Nothing... You know what? I love you!" Mo replied, before staring out of the windscreen.
"I love you too!" Mr T answered before they both fell into silence.
5 minutes later, after cruising down the surprisingly quiet motorway, Mr T noticed Jonny pulling off into the lay by,
"What's he doing? Mo call them to see what's happening!" Mr T said, as he put his indicators on and pulled up behind them. Mo quickly dialled her best friend, seeing the phone light up as they got closer to the now stationary car.
"Hey Jonny Mac what's happening..." Mo asked, as Jac popped her head out off the slightly opened passenger door to vomit.
"...Actually don't answer that, I've just seen it!" Mo finished, sounding a little nauseous as what she had just seen.
"Mo I'm sorry you had to see that, I've asked her numerous times if she wants to go home but being the stubborn person that she is, she's still adamant to go!" Jonny explained down the phone.
"I've been there, done that and probably gonna have the t-shirt again!" Mo replied, giggling to herself, before Mr T nudged her for her attention.
"Ask him if she's got any mints or boiled sweets? They settled her stomach when she got sick towards the end of her last pregnancy!" Mr T whispered.
"Have you got any mints or boiled sweets? D says they settled her stomach towards the end of her pregnancy with Emma!" Mo repeated to Jonny.
"I've got some polos! I'll give her them and see how she gets on, thanks! Oh we should be there in the next 10 minutes!" Jonny said,
"Okay mate, see you there!" Mo answered, before putting the phone down.
"Should be there in the next 10 minutes... How did you know know mints and boiled sweets helped settle her stomach?" Mo asked, frowning sarcastically at him.
"Because the morning before she went into labour with Emma, she came see me because, in her words, she was fed up of being sick and sitting on the toilet, so I suggested mints, boiled sweets and flat coca cola and the mints seemed to do the job" Mr T explained, looking please with himself as he spoke.
Mo sat there rolling her eyes I'm agreement as she kept herself quiet.
Back in Jonny's and Jac's car.
They had all just set off from the lay by after stopping for a brief moment whilst Jac's stomach settled, cruising down the empty lanes towards birmingham.
"You feeling better now?" Jonny asked, looking over to a still pale looking Jac, as he entered the slip road.
"Yeah, it's just your driving! Ha!" Jac said, clearly feeling better as her sense of humour was beginning to show again.
"Oh real funny dead!" Jonny replied, letting out a sarcastic laugh.
"Mummy, Daddy, are we there yet?" A little voice said from the back seat of the car.
"Oh Hi Em, nearly there now sweetheart, be about 10 minutes baby! Did you have a nice sleep?" Jonny said, not realising Emma had woken up.
"Yeah!" She replied, before watching the world go by out of the window...
