Chapter 10 (Wow. Go me:D )

The newly engaged couple returned home on an all time high. Taking off his coat and helping Neela out of her's, Ray hung them up and turned the lights on, he threw the keys onto the kitchen counter and made his way back into the lounge. Taking his fiance into his arms he muffled his face into her hair, enjoying the aroma of coconut in her hair. Closing his eyes to take in the events of the night he smiled into her hair. Kissing her head Ray looked at her whilst holding her at arms length.

"You look tired, do you wanna go to bed?" She smiled at him and nodded before letting out a slight yawn. He grinned, loving how cute she looked when she yawned and led her towards the bedroom, turning the lights off before closing the door behind him. He sat on the bed,wearing only his underpants as he watched her undress. Soon enough she was only wearing a pair of shorts and his t-shirt. He smiled at her in awe at how gorgeous she was. She moved closer to him, kissing him on the head and grinning to herself as she watched in stare at her stomach. Slowly he reached out and placed a hand flat on her belly where their child was currently growing. He raised the hem of the top and exposed her bare stomach, kissing it and holding her close to him. His hand was once more on her stomach.

"Hey baby." He stated. "How you doing in there huh?" Neela smiled at him, blushing slightly at the fact he was talking to her stomach, yet also finding him extremely adorable. Who would have thought Ray Barnett would react like this to the news he was going to be a father. She began to think of their life together and what they would be like in the near future. Maybe in a big house, with their baby. She was pulled back to the present as Ray began talking to the baby again.

"Now mommy and daddy wanna go to sleep now." She grinned at him, he was simply adorable. "So you wanna be a good baby in there ok?" She placed her forehead against his and grinned at him.

"You are so cute, you know that?" He smiled back at her and brought his lips gently to hers. Pulling back slightly she smiled at him, her smile full of undying love for him. "Lets get some sleep, Ray."

The next morning when Ray woke, Neela was no longer in his arms, a note lying, ever so neatly placed on the pillow.

Ray,

You know I wouldn't leave like this if i could help it, but you know, work calls and you looked sooo adorable sleeping there with your fluffy hair.

So I didn't really want to wake you. See you later, probably at work.

Love you, always.

Neela.

x x.

He smiled at the familiarity of her handwriting, before he too rose and began to get ready for work. Half an hour later, to his surprise, he walked into work early. Frank also looked slightly shocked.

"Your early?" Ray smirked.

"I guess Neela's starting to rub off on me."

"Yeah, that's not the only thing she's doing."

"Ha ha." Ray replied with sarcasm as he made his way to the lift. Being fifteen minutes early had its good points, he could rush up to surgery and see Neela.

When he arrived at the floor, he saw her immediately at admit. Almost the whole floor of staff around her. He smirked before moving closer.

"I can't believe you're having a baby." Harold stated, clearly excited. Lucien Dubenko turned to see Ray coming towards them. Walking towards him he pulled him off to one side.

"Congratulations Dr Barnett." Ray smiled gratefully at him.

"Thank you."

"Look, I know you're a good guy, and I know for definite that she loves you. I just, well, she means a lot to me. She's one of the most amazing people I've ever met, and if you ever hurt her, well lets just say I probably won't be the only one you'll have to deal with."

"I'm not going to hurt her, Lucien. It's the last thing I'd ever wanna do."

"Ok. Just as long as we're straight with that. Just take care of her." Ray grinned. "I mean it."

"I know"

"Good." With Lucien's last word they made their way back to admit, where the crowd was still formed. "Ok guys break it up. Give these two a bit of space." The other doctors and nurses returned to their work, only Harold remaining where he was to watch this little love story unfold before him. Hoping to himself find this one day. Maybe with hims and Lacey? Walking up to Ray, Neela smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Hey you."

"Hi." he kissed her softly on the lips before asking. "Does everyone know?" She grinned.

"Well." She pondered the thought for a moment. "Everyone up here knows, but I'm guessing it'll soon travel down to the ER." He laughed at her and kissed her on the head.

"You're boss has been talking to me."

"Really? Lucien? What was he saying?"

"That I'd better take care of you or else." He grinned at the look on her face.

"Well thats weird."

"Not really. Everyone loves you, Neela. They all care about you, he's just looking out for you. Good to know I'm not the only one." He kissed her on the head one more time, let his hand find it's way to her stomach and headed off. "I have to get to work. You're off soon right?" She nodded in reply. "I'll see you when I get home then."

He'd had a long shift. There were many traumas had passed the ER doors that day and all Ray Barnett wanted to do was return home to his girl. Placing him keys in the lock, he sighed, relieved he was finally home. As the door swung open he stopped dead. The lights were off. Neela was no where in sight. And now he could here sobbing. His heart leapt in his chest. What was wrong? Something had to be wrong. Panicking, he let his legs lead him in the direction of her crying as quickly as he could. The bathroom! What was wrong? The baby? Suddenly, he became too scared to open the door, and he stood outside the bathroom door, frozen to the spot in terror of what he might find, but as the sobbing became louder he couldn't bare to leave her alone any longer. Placing his hand on the door, he pushed it, allowing it to swing open and revealing a sobbing Neela on the floor. He hurried to her.

"What's wrong? Neela?" She clung to him, tears soaking his top. He joined her in her tears for the unknown reason. "Neela you're scaring me." He managed to choke out. She withdrew from his arms, hardly able to compose herself, she crawled over to the corner of the room where a blanket was covering something. Ray hadn't even realized that was there. When she drew the blanket back he saw the puppy, lying still, it's chocolate eyes hardly open.

"I think it's dying, Ray." He pulled her into his arms and kissed her head, shushing her, before leaving the room. He returned shortly after with her coat, helping her into it before picking up the cowering puppy and heading to the door.

AN: ok i know thats a really mean way to end it. Sorry. Hope you liked the rest of it :P
