Chapter 7:
After Mary-Claire's shift, she made her way down to the reception area so she could wait for Harry who was still in theatre, so she sat herself down with a cup of hot chocolate and a note pad to make notes on what she was going to need for her baby and sort out a living arraignment for her baby.
Soon after Mary-Claire was writing in her note pad she was approached by a young woman who Mary-Claire had treated the young woman's two year old son who had an allergic reaction to some nuts. "Hi, You remember me don't you?" the young woman began as Mary-Claire looked up from the distraction of her note pad. "My name is Yvette you treated my son earlier Xander" Yvette added, Mary-Claire gave a little smile and took a sip of her hot chocolate.
"You know what Dr from earlier... oh... what's his name... Dr Tressler?" Yvette questioned, "Yes I do" Mary-Claire said, "Is he single at all?" Yvette added before seeing Mary-Claire's facial expression in drop and she began to flush, Mary-Claire knew that Yvette fancied Harry from the way she looked at him.
Mary-Claire gave a sigh and began to say "Look if you fancy him, he does have a girlfriend and she is pregnant, so I don't think he will be after anyone any time soon." Yvette smiled at her and said "Really, he never mentioned anyone when I was speaking to him earlier." Mary-Claire's anger was building up inside of her as well as her already wanting to speak with Harry about what he said to Serena earlier, she was now going to have a go at Yvette.
Before Mary-Claire could have of said anything to Yvette, Harry was standing before her smiling holding his hand out. "Oh hello Miss Hutchinson, how's Xander?" Harry said as he handed another hot chocolate to Mary-Claire, "Oh he's fine they have managed to stabilise him" Yvette said as she started to twirl a piece of hair that was hanging down before her head, "Oh I see you have met my girlfriend then" Harry added as he helped Mary-Claire up, and that was when Yvette noticed the small bump forming. "Oh so you are the girlfriend" Yvette said before getting her things and walking off.
"What was that all about?" Harry says as he takes Mary-Claire by the hand and heads for the hospital exit, "it's been a busy day, Home?" Harry adds, "Sounds like a plan, but who's house?" Mary-Claire says as she gets into Harry's car, "Mine" they both say in unison, they both begin to laugh and decided on going to Harry's house.
As they make their way through Harry's front door, Mary-Claire remembers what she was going to tell him earlier and says "I have a bone to pick with you Tressler" Harry looks at her with confusion "What have I done now?" Mary-Claire couldn't believe he didn't know what she was on about and began to argue with Harry, "How very dare you tell Serena that I am pregnant!" Mary-Claire shouts, "How was I meant to know you didn't want me to tell anyone" Harry says in a civilised tone, "Er... like when I said please don't tell anyone yet" Mary-Claire replies sarcastically. "Sorry MC" Harry says as he makes his way into the kitchen, "I'm going!" Mary-Claire shouts as she grabs her bag and puts her shoes on "FINE!" Harry shouts back, Mary-Claire leaves Harry's house and slams the front door as she goes.
Harry starts to grumble to himself as he knew that this could be the end of their relationship, as he knew Mary-Claire wasn't very good at keeping a relationship for very long, But he was also determined to get Mary-Claire back.
Meanwhile Mary-Claire had just got back to her house and decided she would try and forget about Harry by watching her favourite film 'The Woman in black'. She also would normally try and drown her sorrows in vodka but found herself sticking to Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream. But as hard as Mary-Claire tried to forget about Harry, her small bump kept her thinking about Harry, So Mary-Claire just gave in and said to herself "What am I going to do with you" she gave another sigh and placed her hand on her stomach. Then she thought to herself 'I have to apologise to Harry'
The following morning Mary-Claire made her way to work... alone. "Morning Dr March, Dr Digby" Mary-Claire says as she walks past Zosia and Arthur in the canteen before getting into the lift. "Mc!" Harry shouts as he stops the lift doors from closing "What now Harry?" Mary-Claire says as Harry steps into the empty lift next to Mary-Claire, "Look I am sorry" Harry adds before being cut off by Mary-Claire's lips clashing with his own, Once Harry pulled back he said to Mary-Claire "I guess we have forgiven each other?" Mary-Claire gave a little smiles and said "Shut up Tressler and kiss me." Their lips clashed together.
Before they knew it the lift doors opened on them and their stood Fletch, Raf and Colette. "Come on you two love birds RTC 10 minutes, ED is packed and Mrs Beauchamp is sending some majors up to us" Fletch said as Mary-Claire and Harry stepped out the lift, "See you later then" Harry said as he kissed Mary-Claire on the lips who was about to go into the female changing rooms, "Ooo give us a kiss Hazza" Fletch jokes and he pretends to kiss Colette to the ground, while mucking around.
Once Mary-Claire was dressed and ready for work she found herself trying to take control as Fletch had disappeared down to the ED to get trace up some missing patient notes, Harry had been called to theatre and Colette was nowhere to be seen. "Nurse Winsor please can you discharge anyone who needs to be, Nurse Fowler can you get a porter to move Mr Jenkins up to geriatrics please, Nurse Holder please can you get this young girl a sick bowl please I don't need people being sick on the floor please, but what Mary-Claire didn't know that Colette was watching Mary-Claire take control from a far, and had some really good news for Mary-Claire that she was going to give Mary-Claire to opportunity to become the stand in director or nursing while Colette had her annual leave to Italy.
But first Colette wanted to see Mary-Claire get cocky with one of the patients who was calling her an Irish tart, which was really annoying Mary-Claire, but she didn't want Mary-Claire to get to angry as she was worried that she would stress the baby out.
Later on after the busy shift Colette broke the news to Mary-Claire who was a little emotional but it was expected with her being pregnant. "What do you think then?" Colette said while handing Mary-Claire a cup of tea. "I am over the moon, as well as getting paid a little extra I can probably afford to by some things for this little one" Mary-Claire says as she pulls her top so that Colette could see the bump, "Oh, I didn't realise you were pregnant" Colette says in complete shock as she see the little baby bump, "Yes I am, but everyone knows where were you Tuesday?" Mary-Claire questions, "Oh I was on Keller" Colette replies.
"When are you due?" Colette questions, Mary-Claire smiles "The midwife said about the 10th- 14th of August" She says as she gets up and places her empty tea up in the bin.
"Right I better get going, I have to cook for Harry tonight apparently he has some news" Mary-Claire as she head for the staff room door. And was joined by Harry who was waiting for Mary-Claire to finish her conversation with Colette.
