Rebecca quickly made her way to the ED after spotting an ambulance pulling up.
"Rebecca there you are" Rita walked towards her with a bunch of files.
"Are they all mine? You shouldn't have" she grinned at Rita and toke the files, just as Ian came rushing through the door with a new patient.
"This one is all yours as well Becca, Lily's ill so you get her patients" Rita could barely concentrate
"It's Rebecca never call me Becca again, ok so what have we got here?" Trying her best to stay professional.
"This is Claire 45 she's had 5 of morphine and is still complaining of chest pains" Ian and Dixie handed over to the ED staff.
"We need to talk about our options and what we are going to do" Ian whispered to Rebecca.
"Not now" Rebecca snapped back at Ian and continued with the patient.
"Rita could you just finish up here and then we can move her to Darwin" Rita nodded at Rebecca and Rebecca made her way to the ambulance station.
"Alright you've got 20 minutes"' bargaining in and sitting opposite Ian, Rebecca made her actions pretty clear that she wasn't really interested.
"Well it's our baby, I want to support you and that, know what options I've.. We've got" Ian placed his hand on top of Rebecca's.
"Well it's far too late for a termination and as far as I'm concerned it's my baby" she removed her hands from the table as she started to tense up.
"I'm not just going to let you do this by yourself, do you know what it is?" Ian was trying his best to make it clear that he'll be 100% involved regardless of what Rebecca wanted.
"I'm not fussed about what it is, but if you're serious about being involved you may want to tell that blondie of yours".
A shocked Ian stumbled across his words. "Don't... err... don't say anything to her just yet ayy, I'm not sure if I want us, me and Rita I mean we're not serious"
"Right well I'd better get back to work." Feeling slightly sorry for Rita who was clearly head over heels for Ian made her excuses to leave.
"Oh and for the record Ian I am not the slightest bit interested in your love life" with the last dig at Ian she waltzed out of the ambulance station.
LATER THE SAME DAY.
Rebecca made her way into her mothers room after getting changed." Mum are you asleep?" She whispered rather loudly.
"If I was then I'm certainly not now" Bernie propped herself up against the headrest and pulled the duvet back to signal Rebecca's invitation to her bed.
Rebecca climbed into her mothers bed and laid her head on Bernie's chest with her arms wrapped around her waist." Sorry and I'm sorry about yesterday"
"Hey you've got nothing to be sorry about, just tell me what's going on you never know I might be able to help" Bernie played with Rebecca's long brunette locks
"Do you remember when I had the interview at the ED and I didn't come back home that night?"
"I think so and your dad had ago at you about being an adult not a teenager anymore"
"Yeah that's the one. Well I spent the night with someone" just thinking about Ian and the baby upset Rebecca.
"Ah and I'm guessing he's the father, the chances of you running into him are very slim" all Bernie wanted was for Rebecca to be happy and she knew that having a baby was not something she didn't want.
"He's a paramedic" by this point Rebecca was in floods of tears.
Bernie wiped the tears falling down Rebecca smooth cheeks. "Does he know about the baby?"
It was as if the baby knew when it was being spoken about as it started to make Rebecca uncomfortable. "Yep, he says he wants to help. He even asked me what sex it is, God I've not even thought about that, I've not bought it anything yet I'm 7 months pregnant and I've done nothing but ignore it" Rebecca laughed. She wasn't ready to become a mother, she was still the last one to leave at a party and a career chaser. Even though she's a doctor she hasn't the first idea of bringing up a child.
"You've still got time, Everyone is different you never know you might be a natural, we'll do it together no matter what happens" Bernie put her hand on the bump.
"Is that a promise? There's a nurse in the ED who's roughly as far gone as I am and every time she speaks about the baby her eyes light up, as if there's nothing else in the world. Anyway I'd better let you rest big day for you tomorrow" Rebecca got up from the bed and kissed her mother goodnight.
"Don't you worry about me, purely routine first day at the new job and I'd smash it just like you have" Bernie looked rather smug.
"Oh yeah what was it you used to tell us? "Confidence is not 'they will like me' Confidence is 'I'll be fine if they don't'"
Bernie watched her daughter leave and shouted "Exactly, goodnight love"
