Here's the final chapter. I hope you enjoy.
"When I was little I wanted a magical fairy wedding with the most handsome prince charming but as I got older I learnt to face reality. Dreams don't come true and neither do happy endings. My mother left me at 12 years old to go off gallivanting around India, I got left in care. No-one wanted a child of my age instead opting for babies or toddlers. I was left alone and I chose to stay alone, if I let someone near me then they would do what my mother did and leave. I learnt to cope the only way possible and that was to bite back. People soon stayed away from me, only approached when needed and I carried on. All I wanted to do was prove myself, prove I was skillful and needed because it was clear my mother didn't need me for she left.
I got qualifications and went into medical school. Was top of my class in everything and pushed my body beyond limits, I didn't care who I walked over as long as I got what I wanted. That didn't change when I came here to Darwin, there was one man, Joseph Byrne, who I stopped from killing himself. Do you know what I did when I found out who his father was, I slept with him. Lord Byrne, Joseph's father. I wanted to further my career and I didn't care who I hurt. What I did to Joseph doesn't amount to the pain I felt when I slept with Sean. I couldn't face you the next day knowing what I did and I just had to run away. I realized that I loved you and I couldn't face the consequences. I destroyed our relationship and that tore me up Jonny.
When I returned you had to be an idiot and take me back didn't you, and for a couple of weeks I was so blissfully happy but that can't happen to me can it. I'm not allowed to be happy. I was having so many thoughts and dreams about moving in with you, a wedding even a christening but all that was put to the back of my mind when I started to have those stomach pains. I didn't know what they were and I was scared. I couldn't tell you, I knew you would be all over you me and I couldn't bear it. All the care, all the love. I haven't had all that before and I didn't know how to cope with it so I closed up, took it out on you.
I found out that the problem was endometrioses. I wanted to tell you I did but my fears wouldn't let me. Why would you want damaged goods? Why would you want a woman which may not be able to give you children? I am so sorry Jonny that I slapped you, I really am. But I just, when you said what you did I flipped. I regretted it as soon as I did but the damage was done. I love you Jonny, I truly do. Please forgive me, I can change. I can try to be all you want me to be but I don't think I can be a mother. If it was up to me I would, I so would for you. I love you, I love you. "When she finished her speech, Jonny pulled her into a deep kiss. Soon the passion heated up and Jac ended up under Jonny on the sofa. Pulling away, Jonny reached up and gently tucked her hair behind her hair and smiled.
"I wouldn't dare leave you alone Jac. From the first moment I met you at the people skills course, you had my heart. I had tasted you and I wanted more. It was fate don't you see, that I ended up at Holby and we started to work together. I have treasured us, all that we have done and I am not prepared to just throw it away. I love you too, you stupid woman. You can always be a mother Jac; you don't have to be pregnant. We can adopt, give someone love and a future. Help someone that was just like you, alone and afraid and give them everything that they could ever need. We can be flat mates, we can be husband and wife, and we can be parents. And let me tell you something, we will be fantastic parents. You just have to trust me, whole heartedly trust me. When I say I love you, I mean it. When I say I care, I mean it. When I say get off your high horse, I mean it. I am solely prepared to start afresh from now. Forget about all the negative things which have happened between us and start a brand new bright future together. Are you prepared?"
"I am Jonny, I really am. Thank you." And with that Jac launched herself at Jonny and soon they were a tangle of limbs. The future may not be certain for this unlikely couple but they would be together and that was all that mattered.
Please review and let me know what you think.
