Two Against the World
Chapter 9
... "I hear that Ms Naylor's putting on all these Braxton hicks, just to get mine and Jonny's attention!" Bonnie said, acting smug and big headed as all the attention was on her, The group of nurses looked at each other, not wanting to listen to Bonnie as they had earned some kind of respect for the expectant mother. Jonny then quickly walked passed, shaking his head as all the anger and emotion that had just taken him half an hour to clear out of his mind, came flooding back...
Bonnie watched him as he walked passed, feeling slightly guilty, but not regretting what she had said, hoping that he would come to his senses and show her some attention, "Please excuse me!" Bonnie said to the group of nurses as they walked away from each other in separate directions, "Jonny stop, Just stop I need to talk to you!" Bonnie shouted, as she jogged across the ward to keep up with the speedy charge nurse, "Well I don't want to talk to you!" Jonny replied trying to bite his tongue before her said something that he would regret. He then walked in to the now occupied HDU bay to prep a patient for surgery, shutting the door on Bonnie, just as she walked up to the door.
4 hours later, Darwin Theatre 1, 4pm
Eliot and Sacha were in the middle of a complicated cardiothoracic/ GS operation. Just as Sacha had finished his part of the surgery, Eliot began working on the heart vessels until he noticed something unusual, "Oh dear, this does not look good!" Eliot said, instantly grabbing Sacha's and Jonny's attention, "What's wrong prof?" Sacha asked, wondering what the hold up was, Eliot looked up at him before explaining what he had found,
"The left ventricle is very restricted and the aorta is drastically deteriorated, he's going to need and stent and a series of tubes fitted...!" Eliot paused, thinking about the best plan of action, he then turned to face Jonny, "Page Ms Naylor, I need her assistance immediately!" Eliot said, Sacha then began to speak,
"Eliot, surely you've done this sort of thing before, why do we need extra help, and anyway haven't you put Jac on clinics and paper work only?" Sacha said, making Jonny look at him, wondering why he would do that, Eliot looked at Sacha, knowing what he said was true, but he needed her help and guidance,
"I haven't done anything on this scale before, whereas Jac has done this numerous times before!" Eliot explained. Jonny then walked over to the pager and paged Jac as she was just finishing a consultation in the clinics.
Back in clinics...
Jac and Mo were just finishing there last appointment slot, when Jac's pager bleeped, she instantly picked it up to see what she was being summoned to, 'Ms Naylor, Darwin Theatre 1, Professor Hope requires your assistance on a Stent and tube fitting ASAP' the message read. Just as the patient and her relatives left the room, Mo asked Jac what she had been paged to, "I've been called into theatre 1, Eliot needs my help on a stent and multiple tube fitting!" Jac said as she stood up and headed towards the door, "Hold on, i'm coming with ya, I'm not having you throw up or you go in to full blown labour on your own!" Mo said as she jumped up and joined Jac on the journey up to theatre one.
Back in theatre...
6 minutes later Jac, accompanied by Mo, walked into the theatre, "I'll just scrub in!" Jac said, noticing that Jonny was standing observing the operation. A few minutes later both the surgeons walked through the double doors, ready to assist in the fitting on the stents and tubes, "Are you ok to perform this surgery?" Eliot asked, making Jac figure out that Mr T had told him about the labour, "Yes, I'll let you know if i'm not!" Jac said as she looked into the patient's chest cavity. Jac then carried on with what she needed to do.
Half way through Jac paused what she was doing, placing the back of her hand on to the base of her back, letting out a little groan as she did so, Jonny watched her like a hawk, trying to figure out why she was acting this way, He could see the beads of sweat forming on her fore head and slowly dripping down the side of her face as they all stood in the cool room, he just presumed that it was the heat that was coming from the lamp as she was in direct view of it. Jac then continued with what she was doing as the pain began to ease.
An hour later Jac had finished fitting the tubes and stent, with the assistance of Eliot and Mo, "Mo are you ok to close?" Jac asked as she took her operating scrubs and gloves off and placed them in the waste disposal bin, before entering the wash room, "Sure!, 4 o proline please!" Mo said, as she began to close the patient up, Jonny then walked up to Mo, wondering whether she will speak to him or not, but took the chance,
"Is everything ok with Jac, she doesn't seem herself at all today! Jonny said, in a concerned voice, Mo looked at him, sympathetically, wanting to tell him that she could give birth at any minute but wanted Jac to be the one who told him, "Jonny, it's not my place to say, Just go and talk to her, She's stopping at mine tonight maybe come round about 9 ish then youll have no choice but to talk! I'll call you if theres any change!" Mo said as she finished the suturing.
Jonny looked at Mo and smiled, "Thanks Mo!" He said, before giving her a quick hug, "What was that for!" Mo asked smiling at her friend, "Because I thought I had lost you too! I need her back, Bonnie is suffocating me, i Need to talk to you when we have finished!" Jonny said as they both left the operating theatre...
Hi,
Thanks for reading this,
So i was thinking that Mo could have jonny come over and chat with Jac, but bonnie could over hear that he's going to Jac's instead because she's ill, and that were the truth could be revealed and he dumps her? What do we think ?
