Dixie, Jeff and Fletch all arrived at a shopping centre that wasn't far from holby; they were gradually getting closer to Holby because the route was planned so that they would end up very close to the hospital.
"Right, I've got three gift lists for pregnant women so if I leave you in charge of that, me and Fletch will go and get all the food and stuff for the party." Jeff said as he handed the three lists and the money to Dixie.
"Why me?" Dixie moaned.
"Because on one of the lists it says sensual oil, and another one had stretch mark oil in it and I think I might look a bit odd buying those on my own." Jeff smirked.
"Yeah but they're gonna think I'm bloody pregnant." Dixie stated.
"Look just get the things on the lists and put each lot in a gift bag for them yeah?." Jeff said as they stood outside a the shopping centre where it was fairly empty because it was a Wednesday morning.
"Alright." Dixie sighed as she turned around and headed for the card factory.
"Right, let's get some partay food." Fletch joked as he and Jeff walked into a tescos extra after grabbing a trolley.
3pm
"Right guys just paddle over to that jetty and stop there for a minute." Tom instructed. The group paddled over and tied their boats up loosely to the wooden jetty but they remained seated in their boats. "The rapids aren't far from here so when we get close, we'll stop again and Sacha, I want you to get in the canoe, Sam and Jac will get out and walk. We'll send Sam and Sacha's canoe down the rapids first without anyone in them and when we go down," Tom explained to Michael because it was only going to be him and Tom in their kayaks, "It's up to you, have you done white water before?" He asked.
"No, but I'd like to give it a shot by myself." Michael admitted.
"Alright then, we'll go down separately." Tom stated.
"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ooooowwww!" Jac said quickly as she clutched she bump.
"Okay stay calm, um. Oh god what do I do? Right, I'll call an ambu-" Jonny began panicking before being interrupted.
"Braxton Hicks you moron." Jac groaned.
"Oh... Has it gone now?" He asked awkwardly as everyone was smirking at his over-reaction. Jac took a deep breath before replying.
"Yes." She said angrily as she glared at Jonny. "If that's what you're like then what're you gonna be like when it's the real thing?" Jac asked.
"Right, that one was a practice, I'll be good next time I promise." Jonny pleaded. Jac rolled her eyes before she got comfortable again on the pillow.
Tom paddled his kayak up next to Sam and he held onto her boat to keep them together. "Are you still bloated?" Tom queried quietly.
"Yeah." Sam muttered.
"Youre gonna get to see my ninja skills when I go white water rafting." Tom joked to cheer her up.
"Yeah right, I bet you fall in straight away." Sam laughed.
"You wanna bet?" Tom queried.
"Yeah, loser gives the other one a long massage." Sam stated.
"Right, if I fall in in the first ten seconds, I'll give you a massage." Tom agreed and he shook hands with Sam.
"Are you feeling sick anymore? Because you look a lot better." Harry asked Gemma as they paddled along with Mary Claire behind them and Elliot and Edward ahead of them.
"Um, no I'm fine now." Gemma smiled.
"Glad to hear it." Harry beamed. "I was thinking if tonight we could have a chat." He queried.
"About?" Gemma asked.
"Well there's telling Finn, sorting out maternity leave, your first scan, baby names..." Harry listed.
"Blimey you've actually thought about this haven't you?" Gemma smirked.
"Is that a yes?" Hardy queried hopefully.
"I suppose so." Gemma smirked. Harry made a mental note to have a chat after the baby shower which he hoped would cheer her up.
"Be careful." Jonny said to Jac after they had all switched boats for the rapids. They were less than twenty meters from the rapids and they were holding on tightly to the river bank. Jac and Sam were on the bank, Jonny, mo and Sacha were in the canoe and Michael and Tom were in their own canoes. Whilst the two spare canoes were being held on to alongside their boats.
"What am I supposed to be careful of? I'm walking along a path." Jac moaned.
"Well I was going to give you a bag of the famous Naylor pregnancy trail mix... but if you're gonna be like that-"
"I'm sorry. Gimme the trail mix." Jac said quickly. Jonny shook his head as he got the bag from under her seat.
"Why don't you take the bag so that it doesn't get wet?" Jonny said as he held the rucksack out towards Jac. She merely smirked at the idea so Sam leant forward and took the bag.
"I'll take it." Sam said as she put it on her back.
"Don't forget our bet; if I fall in in the first ten seconds, I'll give you a massage, if I don't then you owe me a massage." Tom stated to Sam.
"Yeah yeah." Sam smirked; she was sure he was going to fall in.
"Right, let's send these off first, ladies if you want start walking." Tom said as he pushed the two empty kayaks towards the middle of the river, not that they needed much force as the current soon took them away. Sam and Jac began walking along the river bank as they wanted to watch the others come down.
Thanks for reading! What do you reckon? Who will fall in or get injured? And who will make it in one piece? Who will win the bet out of Sam and Tom? Please review x
