Chapter 4
They all stood there for a little moment longer, until Jac lifted her head to look at the door, she noticed the four bodies standing there and gestured them with a wave to come in to the room. Jonny opened the door, holding it open so Sacha, Eliot and Mo could get it with all the gifts that they had gathered, Jac stood up and placed Rosie-Mae in her cot now that she had finished her bottle and walked over to her friends and her boyfriend.
Sacha was the first to grab a hug off of the new mum, he handed her the gifts he had picked up for her and her daughter first, which consisted of a Balloon, a teddy and a bunch of flowers for Jac,
"Thank you so much Sacha, She will love them!" Jac said placing the gifts on her bed and reaching up for a hug off of him,
"That's ok! Anything for Uncle Sacha's princess!" He said as he hugged her tightly, as he always had done, but she flinched, as though in pain, Jonny edged forward slightly as she saw her in pain.
"Are you ok Jac?" Sacha asked, holding his best friends side, "Yeah im just a bit erm… uncomfortable, I think it's the endometriosis" Jac said holding onto her stomach.
"I'll go and get Mr T to come and check you over!" Mo said exiting the room, Eliot then went over to Jac with tears forming in his eyes as he saw her lovingly look over to her daughter, Jac turned around to look at Eliot and saw that he was getting emotional,
"Please don't Eliot, my hormones are all over the place! I'll be an emotional wreck" Jac said trying not to cry,
"It's just seeing you happy, I've longed for this day!" Eliot said with pride, Jac smiled and hugged him as tight as she physically could,
"You've been like the father I never had Eliot and I'm ever so grateful for that! I know I've been a massive pain over the years, but I really consider you my only family, apart from Jonny and Rosie, I've been thinking, for a while actually…" Jac said before Jonny interrupted
"Oh no that's dangerous Naylor!" He said smiling to Sacha,
"Shut up Maconie! … Eliot where were we, oh yeah, I've been thinking that that as you are such a great father figure to me, I, well me and Jonny would like you to be in Rosie's life, as her grandfather!" Jac said, still holding onto her stomach as Jonny watched on proudly knowing what she was going to ask him, at this point Eliot was in tears at what Jac had just asked him,
"I'll be honoured to be this little girls grandfather, Thank you Jac and you to Jonathan" Eliot said sobbing as he walked over to the cot to give little Rosie-Mae her teddy that he bought her. He looked into the cot where the little girl was asleep, "I'm proud of her already, she has amazing parents in you two! He said softly so he didn't wake her, Jac, Jonny and Sacha joined Eliot and stood by the cot and smiled, Jonny wrapper him arm around Jac's waist as he still knew she was feeling uncomfortable, he then stood there thinking, almost in a daze, as he looked at Jac with the most important people in her life, seeing her so happy, which he had not seen in a while due to her having a difficult pregnancy, he then thought that it was the right time to ask her to be his wife, they had been together for over a year, on and off, but they clearly loved each other.
"She's beautiful, Jac and Jonny, absolutely beautiful!" Sacha said, breaking the silence, beaming with pride.
Mo then knocked gently on the door along with a midwife and Mr T,
"Right if I could just ask you all to wait outside whist Mr T see's to Jac please, Jonny would you like to come with me, we are just going to take Rosie-Mae to see paed's if that's ok Jac?" the midwife said looking at the couple, Jac nodded and lay on the bed so Mr T could examine her, Jonny picked up Rosie and carried her carefully to the paediatric ward. Once the room was clear, Mr T examined Jac, He seemed a bit apprehensive towards Jac due to past experience of her manners and attitude.
"I don't bite you know?" Jac said trying to start a conversation with him,
"I-I-I-I know I'm just concentrating, now when did the pains start, was it before the labour or shortly after?" He asked her, a bit more relaxed now,
"They started about an hour after I Delivered, it was more uncomfortable than a pain!" Jac explained calmly,
"Ok, then , well I'm going to do an ultrasound, by the sounds of it, it could b from tensing your stomach muscles during labour and just the adrenalin wearing off, nothing to do with the endometriosis, but I'll go and get the machine sorted and I'll be straight back, ok?" Mr T said waiting for an answer,
"That's fine!" Jac said. Mr T left the room to go and fetch a portable ultrasound machine, soon after he left, Jonny had returned to the room with Rosie-Mae,
"What did they say?" Jac asked looking concerned. "She's fine, she's been signed off, a paeds nurse is gonna come down and see us soon to get Rosie's details for her hospital noted, but other than that she's perfect!" Jonny said smiling as he looked at his girlfriend, Jac Smiled,
"Mr T has got to do an ultrasound, he reckons its my stomach muscles and not the endometriosis, so that's good!" Jac sais filling Jonny in about the examination.
Mr T then returned to the room with the ultrasound machine and sets it up,
"Are you ready Ms Naylor?" He asks holding the cold gel bottle,
"Yes lets see what this is!" Jac Said sounding positive
He then squeezes some gel on to her abdomen and moves the scanner across the lower area,
"Well… just as I thought, it's just your muscles, as you can see the wall of your womb is fine and intact, we will start you on the meds for the endo straight away, just to prevent a flare up and ill ask a nurse to get you some morphine to take the pain away, so then you can enjoy your daughter more." Mr T said to Jac who was looking very relieved by the news.
"Thank you Mr T, much appreciated!" Jac said wiping the gel from her stomach, Mr T then nodded and left the room.
Mo, Eliot and Sacha entered the room, all leaning against the window ledge, suddenly Rosie-Mae started to make little sounds before letting out a big cry,
"I'll get her!" Jonny said, leaving Jac to lye down, as she looked exhausted,
"Ohh my little princess, whats wrong? Daddy's here my wee girl" Jonny said gently rocking his little girl side to side, Jac, Eliot, Mo and Sacha watched on as Jonny soothed his daughter,
"That's better!, Shall we give granddad a cuddle Rosie?"Jonny said walking over to Eliot, Eliot held out is arms, ready to receive the little girl, gently rocking her as she made a murmur.
"Would you like a photo taking Granddad?" Jonny said taking his phone out to capture the moment,
"Hello Rosie-Mae its Granddad, you are so beautiful!" He said whilst Jonny was taking the picture, Eliot then walked over to the bed and sat down on the edge next to Jac, "She's Beautiful, she really is and ever so lucky to have parents like you two!" Eliot sais like a proud parent.
"She's lucky to have a family like this, her Aunt Mo, Uncle Sacha, Granddad Eliot and me and Jonny!" Jac said proudly as she looked at Eliot with her daughter. Sacha, Mo, and Jonny looked on smiling as Jac and Eliot were talking.
"Jac's being very nice to everyone, being a mother's really softened her, hasn't it?" Mo said nudging Jonny,
"Yeah she's a real natural with Rosie, I know she's only a couple of hours old but she's melted her heart!" Jonny said talking about his girlfriend. Eliot and Jac then turned around facing the others both with tears in their eyes,
"Ooo lets have a squeeze!" Mo said walking over to Eliot as he passed her Rosie.
"Hello there Rosie, It's auntie Mo! Arent you a littly beauty, yes you are!" Mo said cooing over the new born, "Uncle Sacha's itching for a cuddle off of you but he will have to wait because it's my turn!" Mo added smiling at Rosie who was wriggling around in her arms.
