8:30am, 20 minutes later.
Emma woke up and it took a few moments before she remembered that she was in her mum's office. Mo was sitting at Jac's desk on her phone when Emma realised that in the morning's rush she'd forgotten something.
"Where's my mum?" Emma asked as she stood up.
"She's in theatre." Mo replied.
"Oh... Where's Dad?"
"He's in theatre with her. Why?" Mo asked.
"I need the toilet."
"I can take you."
"No, I want mummy." Emma stated which shocked Mo a little. Mo had taken Emma to the toilets many times before and she was fine. But then Mo remembered what Jonny had said on the phone in theatre yesterday and understood why she wanted Jac.
"I can wait outside." Mo said kindly meaning she wouldn't go into the room or wait outside her cubicle, she would wait outside the ladies door.
"Did mum tell you?" Emma snapped. Mo was surprised, for 8 years old she caught on quick; she must've gotten her mum's brains.
"No. When your dad rang mum in theatre, the phone was on speaker. But don't worry, it was only me and mummy in there." Mo explained softly, she ignored the fact about the scrub nurses and Elliot to make her feel better.
"So come on, let's go to the toilet." Mo said as she held her hand out.
"No I-I... Mum was in a rush this morning and... I forgot my pads." Emma whispered. Mo nodded and took Emma's hand in hers.
"Come on, I've got some in my locker."
A minute later, Mo opened her locker with Emma behind her. She rummaged through her hand bag until she found a square, patterned tin. She was about to hand it to Emma but something had caught her eye.
"What's that?" Emma asked as she went on her tip toes and pointed to a small white object.
"It's a tampon." Mo replied awkwardly, she knew there were going to be questions coming next.
"What does it do?"
"Some girls use it for their period instead of a pad. It goes inside of you." Mo explained in simple terms.
"Does mummy use tampons?" Emma asked. Mo smirked, where did she come up with all these questions?
"I'm not sure, you'll have to ask her." Mo said as she guided Emma towards the toilets and handed her the tin. "You can keep the tin." Mo whispered as she opened the toilet door for Emma and stood outside for her.
