Over the coming months Gordon was truly supportive, he was well aware that this was Jill's first child and even though she was a Doctor she was obviously unsure of what to expect. For the first few months he stood behind her and held her hair as she threw up thanks to the delights of morning sickness. And even though Jill was adamant that she was okay, Gordon made sure she rested as much as possible. He cooked more meals for the family and made sure that Tom & Katie weren't too much trouble. Gordon felt that the family was finally coming together as one unit, something he had longed for. He respected Jill and was patient and understanding towards her when she became aggressive and hormonal; he knew he had to because this woman was carrying his child, the greatest gift any woman could give a man and something he was very grateful for.
Jill carried on working, not once taking a day off. Gordon had hoped she would take a break but she didn't. She carried on working the long hours and then going home to do housework. Much to Gordon's dismay she showed no signs of slowing down. Each night, after the children had gone to bed, the two of them would sit quietly in the living room. Gordon would loving rub her feet or massage her aching back; the love between the two of them clear. If Jill had been unsure about the prospect before about having a baby she certainly wasn't now. When nobody was around she would talk to this unborn baby that she loved so dearly, but she had made it clear to Gordon that she would be returning to work after giving birth. Gordon wasn't pleased about this but knew he had to accept Jill's wishes. Once the baby was born they'd work something out and Gordon secretly hoped that the arrival would change Jill's mind.
