Just remember that this is set 4 weeks after Mary Claire had TSS :) Also, because Gemma was scared of Mary Claire telling Ric that Harry caused her TSS, Gemma forgave Mary Claire for making her wet herself and they're getting on-ish.
Harry, Gemma and Finn were in the removals van, driving to the penthouse when Gemma's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Gemma, it's Mary Claire, I know you're not going in but can you ring Ric to tell him I can't come in today?"
"Why can't you ring him?"
"Because I've got really bad period pains and if I tell Ric he won't believe me."
"Right, okay. How're you feeling? Apart from the period pains." Gemma asked. It made Finn feel awkward because he was sitting in between Harry and his Mum so he just remained silent and looked out of the window.
"I'm fine now, I'm off the antibiotics."
"Okay. Well I'll give Ric a ring now, just gimme a call if you need anything."
"Okay, thanks."
"Bye."
Gemma sighed as she hung up and then rung Ric Griffin.
"Hello."
"Ric, it's Gemma. Just to let you know, Mary Claire isn't well so she can't make it into work today."
"And why can't she ring herself?"
"Because she had really bad period pains and she didn't think you'd believe her."
"Right. Well, I suppose I'll have to call the agency for a nurse for today. Thanks for letting me know. Bye."
"Bye."
Yet again, the mention of the word 'period' made Finn feel awkward as he had recently learnt what one was in a class that Gemma has signed a slip for.
"Lemme guess, she's got a wittle bit of a tummy ache and she's paralysed?" Harry laughed as he pulled into the car park for their building.
"Harry, period pains hurt more than you think they do." Gemma stated.
"I know I know, I'm just saying." He replied. Gemma glanced at Finn and realised that he wasn't comfortable with that topic so once Harry parked up outside the building, she changed the subject.
"Are you excited to see your new room?" Gemma asked to Finn as she helped him down out of the removals van. Harry jumped out and the trio met at the back of the van.
"I suppose so." Finn mumbled.
5pm
After unpacking, Harry and Finn left Gemma to do the final touches over an hour ago to go and play on the xbox in the boys only play room. Harry had had enough to he got up and left the game room to find Gemma fast asleep on the sofa. He crept back into the play room and turned the TV off.
"Heeeyyy." Finn moaned.
"Ssshh." Harry whispered. "How about while Mummy's asleep, we sneak out to do the shopping?" Harry suggested.
"Can I do the scanning with the zapper thingy?" Finn asked.
"Only if you help me cook dinner later." Harry replied.
"Fine." Finn sighed as he got up off of his bean bag.
6pm
Harry, Finn, and two of the staff returned to the penthouse, each with several shopping bags. Harry gave the two staff a tip for carrying the bags for them before they left. On arriving, Harry was pleased to see that Gemma was still fast asleep.
Finn and Harry were in the open plan kitchen which joined onto the living room so they quietly packed away the shopping and left out the ingredients for dinner which consisted of Harry's famous spaghetti bolognese.
"Harry... Thank you for making mum happy." Finn said as he looked up at the man who had been like a father since he had moved in.
"It's been my pleasure little man." Harry smirked as he could hold in his smile that Finn had said that to him.
"Will you and Mum ever get married?" He asked.
"Um, I'm not sure, I hope so." Harry smiled as he looked over the kitchen counter at his sleeping partner.
"Can I be your best man? because Simon was his dad's best man and he said it was really cool." Finn asked which made Harry laugh.
"Of course you can mate." He replied.
10pm
After their delicious dinner, Harry and Gemma had both put Finn to bed together, before they also hit the sack over an hour ago. They were both fast asleep but little did they know that for the last hour, Finn had been tossing and turning in his new bed, but he couldn't sleep in the new room. Not alone and not yet anyway.
After a lot of hesitation, Finn finally got the courage to get up- with his teddy bear with the Holby United football shirt on it- and head to his mums room. He entered to find the moonlight seeping through the curtains so he could just about make out that Harry had his arms wrapped around his mums tummy.
He walked around to her side of the bed and tugged gently at their sleeve.
"Mum... Mummy..." He whispered as he tugged a little more. Within seconds, both Harry and Gemma woke up.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Gemma asked sleepily.
"Can I sleep with you tonight? Please? I can't sleep on my own." Finn pleaded as he stood there with his hand gripping tightly onto the paw of his toy bear.
"Yeah sure, come on." Gemma whispered as she shuffled back into Harry's embrace even more, to make room for Finn. She lifted up the duvet signalling him to slip into bed next to her.
"Do you want me to sleep on the sofa?" Harry asked wondering if Finn only wanted his Mum.
"No no, can you stay too? Please?" Finn asked after he had slipped under the covers in front of his Mum.
"Yeah sure, I'm not going anywhere." Harry replied quickly after hearing the small panicky voice of his partners child.
"Night night." Finn mumbled as he hugged his teddy and pulled the duvet up to his chin.
"Night sweetheart." Gemma whispered as she put her hand on his arm to comfort him and let him know that she was there. Harry still had his hand wrapped around Gemma's small 16 week bump and soon, the trio feel asleep, all cuddled up to each other.
Thanks for reading, please review x
Coming up, Finn's going to have more problems as he can't sleep in his new room by himself which distresses Gemma and harry.
