Jac lay on her back, looked on her left, to see Joseph was fast asleep. She faced the ceiling again, with her hand on her tummy. She couldn't sleep. She still couldn't believe the news she received that day.

'I'm pregnant…' she thought. It felt weird, thinking about it let alone saying it out loud.

Joseph was over the moon, but she couldn't seem to get her head round the idea. When she saw the test came back positive, she had mixed emotions. She couldn't believe it was possible with her endometriosis, but she was happy, she was carrying Joseph's baby. On the other hand, this meant she's stuck with this life forever. Not that she didn't like living with Joseph, she loved it. But there was something in this life she now had, that she didn't like. She couldn't take another day of going to the practice and working as a GP. It was too boring for her.

Now with a baby on the way, she couldn't just leave. She thought of booking a termination but she didn't want to potentially ruin the only last chance she had to be a mum. It was like she got lucky this time… and she didn't want to risk Joseph finding out and ruin her relationship as well. Joseph knew now anyway, so there was no going back.

She turned on her other side and tried to sleep.

Jac felt someone's hand stroking the hair of her forehead. She opened her eyes, slowly to see Joseph sitting on the side of her bed and a breakfast tray on her bedside table.

"How are mummy and baby?" Joseph asked, smiling at her.

"It's not even a baby yet… it's an embryo…" Jac muttered as she sat up in bed.

"But it will be… soon. Here… I made you some tea and toast…" Joseph told her as he handed her the mug.

"What's with the breakfast in bed? Don't tell me you are going to do this every morning until I deliver?" Jac said, before she sipped her tea.

"I am going to spoil you rotten until that baby gets here…" Joseph told her with a smile, "I even made you some salad for lunch… just put it in your bag"

Jac widened her eyes at Joe's comment.

"Just have your breakfast, nice and comfortable, I'm going to go take a shower," Joseph said as he stood up and bent down to kiss her forehead.

Jac lay there, holding her mug. She was amazed, Joseph was even more excited than she was, and he already had a baby.

"I was thinking, we could get a new cot, put it besides Harry's in the nursery, because by the time the baby will be here, Harry would be like a year old, he wouldn't be old enough to sleep in his own bed… then obviously we'll have to move… the nursery is the only spare bedroom we've got…"

Jac looked out of the window while Joseph drove. He was doing her head in.

"For the love of God, would you shut up?!" Jac said furiously, as she faced him.

"Excuse me..." Joseph muttered, keeping his eye on the road.

"Joseph I'm only 4 weeks along… anything could happen… and besides there's plenty of time to think about that stuff… just calm down…" Jac told him, as she lay her head back against the headrest.

Jac was carrying two huge files, while walking down the corridor, heading towards her office. Joseph saw her, from the main desk and rushed up to her side.

"What are you doing? Give me those!" Joseph whispered, as he took the files from her.

"What?! I can carry objects you know!" Jac snapped.

"Not in your condition…" Joseph said as he walked into her office. Jac followed him in and slammed the door shut.

"If you mention 'my condition' one more time, I'm going to lamp you one!" she tried to yell, but she couldn't raise her voice, given they were at work.

"Jac I'm just trying to protect you…" Joseph uttered.

"I am not a little girl Joseph, I know how to take care of myself, but please stop fussing! I hope you haven't told any of these idiots you call colleagues!" Jac stated.

"No I haven't… Jac… I'm just excited that's all… I just don't want anything to go wrong…" Joseph said as he approached her and held her hands.

"Joseph there is nothing you can do, to guarantee that… it's not that I don't like the attention you are giving me… but please stop breathing down my neck, every second of the day…" Jac pleaded.

"Fine, I will back off…" Joseph said, as he leaned in and kissed her, "Don't forget to take the salad I made you…" he told her before he left.

Jac rolled her eyes and sighed.

Later that evening, while Joseph was in the shower, Harry started crying and Jac was the only one available to get to him.

She walked into his nursery and sat down by his cot.

"Hey… shhh…" she whispered. She gave him her little finger and Harry wrapped all his around it and started smiling and kicking about. Jac smiled at the sight. With the other hand, she rubbed her tummy.

She looked up and thought; maybe she could do this after all.

Two weeks later.

Joseph woke up before Jac. He took a shower and had breakfast. The nanny arrived early that morning. It was odd, how Jac hadn't woken up yet. He made her some tea and walked into the bedroom.

"Wake up, sleepy head…" he told her as he nudged her.

Jac sleepily, opened her eyes, "Joe I don't think I'll come to work today…" she uttered.

"why? Are you alright?" Joe noticed she had gone a bit pale.

"I'm feeling a bit… a bit…" she uttered, before she closed her eyes again, and passed out.

"Jac! Jac!" Joseph exclaimed as he cupped her face, but she didn't reply. He took the covers off of her to see a pool of blood on the white sheets beneath her.

"Oh my God!" Joseph exclaimed as he put his hands over his head. Panicking, he put one of his arms under her neck and the other under her knees and lifted her up, taking her out to the car and the nearest hospital.

Joseph carried her into the E.D. of St. Mary's.

"Somebody helped me, please!" Joseph yelled. A load of nurses and doctors came running towards him, when they saw her legs covered in blood.

"My fiancée, she's pregnant… she just woke up bleeding…" Joe uttered, as they put her on a trolley immediately and ran off with her. Joseph ran off with them too.

"Sir, we'll take it from here…" a nurse stopped Joseph as they reached two swing doors.

"No I have to go in with her!" Joseph yelled.

"Sir please, wait here, we'll do everything we can to help her," the nurse told him as she closed the door and ran off.

Joseph sat down on a chair nearby, as a tear ran down his cheek.
