A/N: And she's back ;) Jac's going into labor now hehe (:
Jac was leant forward against the nurse's station desk in Keller; having been told to go to a walk she decided to go see Sacha.
Arthur Digby saw Jac and bravely walked over, "Ms…urmm….Naylor?" he asked bravely and Jac leant down.
"What is it?" Jac snapped as the pain went away and looked angrily at junior doctor before her, "Well?"
"Are you ok?" Arthur asked and Jac slammed the nurses station, before walking away. Being the man he was instead of deciding to deal with this, himself he went to Sacha.
"Ah Dr Digby is everything OK?" Sacha asked.
"I think Ms Naylor has gone into labor," Arthur answered and Sacha looked over at Jac, she was looking uncomfortable holding her back and looking worried.
Sacha without a word dashed over to Jac placing his hand on her shoulder, "Bloody hell Sacha are you trying to give me, a heart attack?" Jac asked angrily.
"Sorry Jac," Sacha walked round placing his hands on her shoulders, "Are you going into labor?"
"What?" Jac then had to think of a lie, "No it's just probably the Braxton Hicks," though the look on Sacha's face told her, he had seen right through her, "Alright…but you musn't tell anyone."
"Not even Jonny?" Sacha asked and he pulled Jac into the staffroom, "Right first thing you can't keep this from Jonny."
"I can do whatever I want," Jac snapped, "Ahh!" Sacha ran forward and pulled her onto the sofa, "Sacha please don't tell Jonny…not just yet," Jac begged, "He'll just panic and then all hell will break loose….he's in Edinburgh."
"Why?" Sacha asked shocked who goes hours away when the mother of the child is close to labor?
"His Granny had a heart attack she's fine, but he needed to go up there in case she didn't make it…so I told him to go," Jac explained, "Don't tell him yet…wait until it's at a later stage."
"Jac it did he fly, drive or grab a train?" Sacha asked and Jac had to think how did he get there?
"I think he…urmm oh shit he drove," Jac then remembered, "Oh for fucks sake!"
"Do you want anything to eat?" Sacha asked changing the subject and Jac thought, "Michael's got those marshmallows you like so much."
"Do you have any jelly babies?" Jac asked and Sacha then had a thought, "What?" Jac asked as he had that face, "Sacha?"
"Serena," Sacha walked out and Jac sat up.
"Sacha," Jac did not want the Queen Of Holby City knowing her business, but being unable to move was the worst.
…
Walking down onto AAU Sacha ran quickly over to Serena, "Serena!" Sacha ran over and Serena turned around, "Do you have any jelly babies?"
"Sorry?" Serena looked at Sacha confused, "Why would I have jelly babies?"
"Alright…..but you can't tell anyone," Sacha pulled Serena bravely by the arm.
"Mr Levy what are you?-" she was cut off as she was then pulled into her office, "Mr Levy may I remind you…wait?" Serena folded her arms knowing he was up to something, "What are you up too?"
"Jac has gone into labor," Sacha answered and Serena's eyes grew, "No…she doesn't want anyone knowing."
"And what's this got to do with me having jelly babies?" She asked arms still folded but now leant against her desk.
"Edward told me you have a love for them," Sacha answered, "I wanted to cheer you up after…well Mr Self took over."
Serena had to smile at that only Sacha would think of that, and be stupid enough to try and cheer her up but sweet enough though too
"And Ms Naylor needs something small but energising to eat?" Serena asked and Sacha nodded, not really wanting too but feeling for the consultant who was about to go through hell she opened up draw, "You owe me," she threw them and Sacha caught them, "Where's Nurse Maconie?"
"Granny Maconie had a heart attack, she's fine but….he drove up," Sacha had to stop Serena from looking angry, "So that means-"
"Yes my dad's side is notorious for that," Serena mumbled then realised it was only Edward, who knew her connection between Jonny and she kept it quiet, and guessing Jonny said nothing he kept it quiet, "How often are the contractions?"
…
Michael walked in to Jac lying on the Keller staff room sofa, "Ah Naylor was wondering how long it would take for you-" he was cut off when Jac leant over, "Woah…." Michael ran over, "Braxton Hicks?"
"No," Jac shook her head breathing out, "This is happening."
"Right do you want me to get Jonny?" Michael asked.
"He's in Edinburgh," Jac said through gritted teeth, "Ring him," she ordered the yank and pulled out her phone.
…
"Hello Jac?" Jonny asked from his Granny's house where she was recovering.
"Maconie," Michael called down the line and Jonny looked worried, why was Michael calling? What was going on? "Jac's gone into labor," Michael announced and Jonny's eyes grew he was six hours away, "Jonny?"
"You sure it's not Braxton Hicks?" Jonny asked and then his sister's and Granny all exchanged looks, "Is she dilated?"
"Woah Maconie calm down," Michael called down the phone, "OK she's in the early stages could be ages."
"I don't care I'm coming back," Jonny hung up the phone and sighed, "How am I going to get back….because my car is fucked."
"It was my fault take mine," Imogen threw the keys at Jonny and Jonny caught them.
"Wee problem how are you going to get around?" Gina asked Imogen she was sat on the sofa legs up to her chest, Imogen was sat typing on her iPad, "You didn't think I was going to let you drive mine?"
"But," Imogen looked up from her iPad with an annoyed look on her face.
"No way I'm surprised you passed your test," Gina grumbled, "Stick to computers bairin sister."
"Then but that means….I don't wanna go to England," Imogen groaned and Jonny huffed, "I'm not going…no way…no way, no way."
….
"You're driving," Imogen glared and she got into the drivers', "I gotta drive back too."
"Imogen," Jonny said as he started the engine.
"What?" Imogen asked her brown eyes eyeing Jonny, "What?"
"Phone Jac's number Michael should answer," Jonny explained and then he handed her the phone, "And shut up."
….
Jac had taken Michael's hands and was now squeezing as the next contraction hit her, "Ah geez Naylor!" Michael felt his hands click and were gradually going blue. Then he felt his phone vibrate Jac released her hands from his, shaking his hand as it hurt he answered the phone, "Alright Maconie please tell me you're on the road?"
"Oh aye we're on the road," Imogen answered and Michael looked incredibly confused, was this a prank call?
"Who is this?" Michael asked down the phone and he put it on loud speaker, "Where's Jonny?"
Imogen put it on loud speaker too and rested it on the phone holder, "Here," Jonny finally spoke.
"Geez Maconie who's the lady?" Michael asked jokingly then he saw the look Jac's face, it was angry, "Well how far are you?"
"Urmm could be a wee while," Jonny answered there was a traffic jam, "Fucks sake!" he hit his head against the car wheel.
"JONNY WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?" Jac shouted causing Michael's ear drum to nearly pop.
"Jac listen to me darling stay calm OK, I'll get there as soon as I can…Michael I'm relying on you and Sacha took take care of Jac."
"NO!" Jac shouted she didn't want Michael watching her in this state, Sacha not as bad but Michael! "Noo Jonny please get back."
"Jac I'm six hours away OK I'll be there as soon as I can," Jonny explained and he heard Michael trying to calm Jac down, "Please Michael look after her."
"Hey the Two Musketeers are on the case," Michael said and he then went to the sink, "I've had an ex wife in labour many times."
"Exactly so keep her calm OK!" Jonny ordered he hadn't realised how assertive he sounded, "I'll ring you in an hour any problems call me."
"Jonny's personal assistant will answer," Imogen added and she then got out her phone to text someone.
"Bye," Michael and Jonny said at the same time.
…
"How far are the contractions?" Mr T came with oh. God. No. Jean Rimini both ready for action, "How far are they dear?" Jean asked as sweet as she could, Jac may have in her opinion been rude, bossy but now she was in labour.
"Every fifteen minutes," Michael answered he had took note, "Jonny's not gonna be here for another six hours."
"Here," Sacha threw jelly babies to Jac and Serena walked in behind, "She had to find out…I'm sorry."
"Great," Jac huffed, "Look can all of you get out!" she ordered those who weren't meant to be here, "Because I'm sure that not all of you need to be ahhhhh!" Jac curled up she felt a hand rubbing her arm, it was Serena.
"I've been there Jac," Serena empathised, "And you're going to do just fine."
…
"Right I'm afraid you're not dilated yet," Jean broke the bad news, it was only her, Mr T and after a short talk Serena had been asked to say.
"You could've at least warmed your gloves up," Jac pulled her pants and leggings back up, "You lot wonder why you get so much hate."
"If you want to get things moving try walking, or bouncing on an exercise ball," Jean suggested though having to be nice to the woman, who was rude to her a few months back was hard. Jean and Mr T left Jac in private Sacha and Michael re-entered.
"Right straight from maternity," Sacha threw a ball at Jac it hit her forehead, "Try bouncing on it."
"And then after that we can have a little walk around," Michael added grinning, "So go on then Naylor."
"Oh and a little present from Darwin," Sacha announced, "Mr T told Mo…it's this," Sacha gave Jac the teddy bear with a card saying: Good LUCK! CONGRAGULATIONS! Elliot, Zosia, Mo X, "Oh and Edward caught me he said you might need these," Sacha put cardboard Kidney dishes on the floor next to Jac, "He overheard me asking Serena about jelly babies I'm sorry," Sacha said guiltily he really hadn't been the best at this, "I tried to keep it quiet."
"I need to be sick," Jac urged and Serena grabbed the cardboard kidney dish placing it in front of the consultant who vomited, then she heard her stomach grumble and Jac went very red. Michael and Sacha turned away giving Jac the privacy she needed, Serena comforted Jac who had no way of stopping what was happening, "Oh god," Jac leant her head down and Serena rubbed her back, "Can you lot please just get out."
"How about I take you to the showers?" Serena suggested, "OK then you can get cleaned up…hot showers helped me."
"I want Jonny," Jac had no idea why she just said that but in all honesty she wanted Jonny, "Why did he have to back home?!"
"Right showers come on," Serena ordered and Jac stood up feeling very uncomfortable, "It's alright, it's alright. I've been there….you two open windows and tell no one," Serena ordered Michael and Sacha.
…
Jac and Serena arrived in the staff shower room, "Wait here," Serena ordered Jac who was sat on one of the benches. Serena went to the room where they had spare scrubs guessing her size. Jac was so embarrassed she hoped it was a dream, "Right you get showered I'll wait here…throw your stuff away."
"Serena," Jac turned to the second female consultant, "Is this…is it going to hurt?" Jac asked shaking in shock.
"I'm afraid so…but in the end you're going to have a beautiful baby who you will love unconditionally, "So you get showered and would you like a pad?" Serena asked quietly though no one was there.
Jac nodded and then stood up, "Thank you," Jac shook her head had she just said thank you?! "Yeah I'm going to grab a shower."
…
After a long warm shower Jac stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself, "Serena?" Jac called to see if she was there. No answer. Serena had gone, for now she took the clothes, underwear and pad then padded towards the bench very quickly putting on underwear and the pad, which was going to show through her scrub trousers; she clipped on her bra and twisted it round then pulled on the raspberry coloured scrub top, "Look time no see," Jac said to herself remembering her Keller days, "Ughh and you make me look like a fat giant raspberry," Jac then looked at herself in the mirror all she saw was a fat, ugly pregnant lady, when in reality she was beautiful pregnancy had made her even more beautiful, if that was even possible.
"Thought you'd hate me for that," Serena said behind Jac, "Don't worry I'm not looking," Serena reassured as she saw in the mirror Jac looking embarrassed, "I'm afraid Keller only has that colour."
"Ughh it makes me look fat, stupid and ahhhh!" Jac was hit by another contraction she squatted down and concerned Serena ran over, "Get off," Jac squeaked as she breathed through it.
"Breathe," Serena said kindly and Jac leant her head against the locker, "I know you're scared."
"I'm not scared!" Jac snapped as she knew Serena. Right. Now. Could see right through her, "I'm fine."
"I got you this," Serena reached handing her a cardboard coffee cup full of herbal tea, "It helped me...drink this and eat these," Serena handed her a packet of jelly babies, "And lets walk around."
Jac groaned as the thought of walking killed her, she didn't want to walk her back was killing her. Though she knew Serena herself had been through this, maybe it was best she listened to her after all Michael and Sacha had never given birth.
"It'll be alright," Serena reassured, "And just think the more we distract you…the less it'll seem Jonny is far away and then he'll be here before you know it."
Jac nodded and stood up Serena walked to the door and opened it, "How long were you in labour for?"
"Thirteen hours I think," Serena answered, "Twelve hours until fully dilated and then another hour of pushing."
"OK…so what did you do?" Jac decided to take her mind off it all, "Michael and Sacha are never going to allow me to forget you know."
"Leave them two to me," Serena advised and she and Jac walked outside, "Come on peace garden….unless Mr Self has put a petting zoo in there yet."
"What's he trying to do? Give us all E-Coli?" Jac asked and she felt a cramp happen, "Did you…did you ever get cramps?"
"Oh yes," Serena laughed knowingly, "We'll keep you walking then we can go back inside, and sit on the ball."
Jac and Serena walked around the garden, stopping each time Jac had a contraction it was going to be a long day for poor Jac, a long day for Serena who was now on the other side and for Jonny….
….
"Phone Jac well Michael and tell him we're now well and truly on our way," Jonny ordered his sister and Imogen rolled her eyes before doing as she is told.
A/N: Sorry for the wait! I basically got blocked/distracted/blocked again ahaha. Anyway do you think Jonny will make it back in time? Or will it Serena/Michael/Sacha/Mr T and Jean at the birth? Ahaha ;) let me know what you think!
