I know this is a bit short and I usually write more, but I promise you there's more coming in the next chapter ;)
A couple of weeks later, Jac got the news she wanted to hear. The consultant informed her that Mason was meningitis free and was in perfect health to go home.
She was alone with him on the ward when she was told the good news. She would've taken him home herself, but then she thought it was inappropriate not to tell Michael the good news.
"Hey Michael, it's me… the consultant just told me, Mason is fit to take him home, they're going to discharge him…" she explained briefly but Michael soon cut her off.
"My God that's wonderful, I'm free from theatre, I'll take you home, just give me a couple of…" Michael was ecstatic.
"Michael you don't need to, I can drive myself…" Jac didn't need his help.
"Oh come on, I'm not gonna let you take him on your own, I'll meet you up there, in an hour, wait for me…. Please…" Michael pleaded.
"Fine then…" Jac told him coldly, as she hung up.
…
Jac unlocked her front door and Michael followed her in, carrying Mason. Jac warmed up his bottle of milk for his next feed and was about to give it to him, before she puts him down for his nap.
"May I?" Michael asked, holding out his hands, implying he wished to feed Mason himself. He wanted to show her he wanted to be involved.
Jac thought he was going to drop them off and leave, but then again, she appreciated his effort.
"Sure…" she replied as she handed the bottle over.
Just as Michael made himself comfortable feeding Mason, sitting on the sofa, they heard the doorbell. Jac wasn't expecting any visitors, she walked up to the door to see who it was.
She opened the door and to her surprise, she found Jonny standing on her doorstep.
"Jonny, what are you doing here?" she asked astonished.
"I just thought I'd stop by and say hello… plus I bought us lunch…" he said as he lifted up the brown bag to show her.
"I'm flattered but…" Jac started, but Michael soon cut her off.
"Jac who is it?" he asked her as he met her at the door, carrying Mason.
Jonny wasn't expecting to see Michael.
"We brought Mason home today… I just found out, I couldn't have told you earlier… Michael brought me home…" Jac tried to explain.
"Right… well I'll give you some space, I'll leave you to it…" Jonny said slowly.
"Thanks, I'll call you, yeah?" Jac asked, feeling all awkward in front of Michael.
"Right…" Jonny said, as he walked up and kissed her on the cheek before he left.
…
"What was that all about?" Michael asked Jac as they walked back inside as she closed the door.
"It's nothing…" Jac tried to run away from the confrontation.
"There seems like there was something…" Michael told her, as he put Mason down for a nap.
"I'm not having this conversation now… now if you mind, thanks for the lift home, but I need some rest… we've been through enough…" Jac told him, implying she wanted him to leave her and Mason alone.
"Fine, I'll see you…" Michael said as he left her house.
He sat in his car, but didn't start the engine. He sat there thinking. There was definitely something going on between Jac and Jonny… that needless to say he was indeed jealous about, even if he didn't show it. The thought that Jac was going to move on with someone else, scared him… and he was willing to do something about it.
