10:30pm

Jonny had just finished folding his clothes and putting them into a suitcase when he turned around to look at Jac. She was asleep and just as he 'aw'ed, she woke up and shot up due to another contraction. He quickly looked at his phone and resetted the stopwatch. "32 minutes. They're getting closer together." Jonny stated as he slid onto the matress, still with no duvet on, and pulled Jac into a hug. "Here, squeeze my hands." Jonny said softly as he pulled apart and tok Jac's hand in his. She squeezed lightly as she didn't want to show how much pain she was in. "I know you need to squeeze my hands harder, go on it's fine." Jonny smiled. Jac squeezed a little harder as she buried her face under Jonny's chin.

After a minute or so, the pain subsided, but it left a lingering feeling of nausea along with her upset stomach, period pains and back ache; she wasn't feeling well at all. She felt things moving down below so she tried to move but she then felt that if she moved anymore, her bowels would open. Jonny watched her shuffle to the end of the bed but she suddenly stopped and froze in that position.
"You okay?" Jonny asked kindly as he stood up and walked around to where Jac was stuck.
"I can't get to the toilet." Jac muttered. He knew that she had an upset stomach because her body was clearing itself out for labour.
"What like bladder or..." Jonny trailed off. He looked into her eyes and saw that she was ashamed. She was usually okay (well not as embarrassed) when she had a bladder malfunction so he knew it wasn't that. "Right, how about I help you up and you take small steps?" Jonny wondered if she would be able to make it.
"I don't think I can." Jac murmured as she tried to hold everything in. She was so embarrassed.

"Have you got on of those really thick incontinence pads on?" Jonny asked hopefully. Jac nodded. "Right, c'mon. At the end of the day, it's nothing I haven't seen before." He stated as he held his hands out. Jac looked at him like a lost puppy but she was running out of time. "C'mon, I won't say anything to anyone, not even Mo. I promise." Jonny said he quickly shut the bedroom door, and went back hold her hands to help her up.

Reluctantly, Jac took his hands and as he pulled her up gently, she groaned in pain from her aching spine; her little girl's head was pressing on it. It hurt as she walked so Jonny, with one arm around her waist and the other holding her sweaty hand guided her to the bathroom. She knew she had less than a second before she couldn't hold it any longer so she quickly sped up for the last few steps and quickly pulled her trousers and underwear down, revealing an incontinence pad with a brown smear on it. Jac hadn't quite made it to the toilet in time but now that she was on it, her bowel contents emptied into the toilet bowl and Jonny could see and hear the whole thing as Jac hung her head in embarrassment.

He pecked her on her clammy forehead before he left and pulled the door closed the give her the privacy she really wanted, or rather needed, at that moment. He grabbed a new pad, underwear, bra and clean set of pyjamas because he knew she had been sweating profusely in the last hour or two.

After sitting on the edge of the bed for five minutes hearing Jac quietly groan along with some disgusting sound effects, he heard the toilet flush and the tap began to run. He got up with the set of new clothes and opened the door.
"I'll leave these on here." Jonny said quietly as he put them on the toilet seat which had been folded down. Jac had just dried her hands so Jonny pulled her into a hug because he knew she was so ashamed of herself. "Please don't be embarrassed. I've seen a lot worse and it wasn't your fault." Jonny whispered over her shoulder.
"I'm sor-" Jac began before she was interrupted by Jonny.
"Don't you dare say sorry. There's nothing to be sorry about it was just a wee accident. Now come on, you get changed and let's get you back into bed." Jonny smiled as Jac appeared less red.

"I still don't feel great, I'm gonna stay in here for a while.." Jac muttered.
"You want me to stay with you? I don't mind." Jonny said softly.
"No, I'd rather be on my own." Jac stated. Jonny nodded and left her to it, after he left she pushed the door mostly closed. She was hot and wasn't sure whether vomiting or diarrhoea was going to come first so she slowly paced around the ensuite with the bathroom door slightly ajar to let some cool air in after she had gotten changed.

Jonny decided to leave her alone for a while so he got up and decided to pack Jac's clothes into boxes. He knew she didn't want to feel like talking but he wasn't sure which clothes she'd want to wear to the hospital so he began packing from the back of her wardrobe; all of her clothes from before she was pregnant and that she could no longer fit into.

Mo had packed away everything around the TV (DVDs and CDs) so she closed the now full cardboard box and placed it by the front door. She then moved on to empty the side board draws. There were odd bits and pieces: Sellotape, pens and pencils, table mats, chargers and a bottle of red nail varnish. Once that draw was empty, she noticed that her eyelids were heavy because it was getting late. But she had talked to Jonny before hand, he wanted the new house to be complete by the time Jac was discharged from hospital and that included having everything unpacked so she opened the next draw, only to find it filled with surprising documents.

There was a copy of Jac's birth plan which she could see had been emailed to Mr T. There was also all of her scans, all individually in a plastic wallet to preserve them and along with them were leaflets about breastfeeding, caring for a newborn, postnatal depression signs and loads more. She smirked because she was sure that Jonny wasn't aware of this but nether the less she emptied the draw and placed the scans at the top.

Jonny was just placing a beautiful dress of Jac's into the box when he heard a splash from the ensuite. He quickly ran into the bathroom as he thought that her waters had broken but he found Jac splashing her face with water over the sink. She was bright red.
"Jesus Jac, you're burning up." Jonny stated as he felt her wet forehead from behind. "Why don't I run you a bath? It'll cool you down a bit and hopefully it should make the aches and pains a bit better." Jonny suggested. Jac thought about it. In the last ten minutes her painful bowels had settled down a little and the thought of lounging in a cool pool of water sounded very appealing as she was sweating like a pig.

"Wi... Will you stay with me please?" Jac asked very quietly as she stared into the sink to avoid eye contact.
"Yeah, course I will." Jonny smiled as he placed his hands on Jac's warm, sweaty back. He gave her a small squeeze before he turned around and turned the taps on for the bath.
