Mo and Jac had nearly finished in theatre with only a few flinches from Jac. She was just clearing the cavity with saline and all she had to do was stitch up when Mo noticed that Jac suddenly crossed her legs whilst standing up. Mo was trying not to laugh when she saw a funny look in Jac's eyes, first it was surprised, then it was angry.

"Jac, if you want me to finish up I ca-"

"No thank you." Mo smirked as she saw Jac re-cross her legs the other way and Jac let out an angry sigh.

"Jac, come on I'll finish it."

"No thank you I can do it."

"Jac, you've already got a list of incidents, I don't think you'd want wetting yourself in theatre added to it." Mo whispered to Jac over the patient. Jac looked up at Mo furiously and realised that she knew.

"Yeah like i would really wet myself."

"You really wanna wait and see?" Mo joked.

"Fine, here." Jac muttered as she handed Mo the clamps. Quickly, Jac ripped of her gloves and face mask. She then ripped off her blood stained theatre scrubs and ran to the toilet.


Jac took her painkillers at exactly 11am. A few hours passed by without any pain however, the cramps soon returned.


It got to 4pm and Jac arrived at the nurses station. Mo and Jonny were already there. Jac went to go and sit down but suddenly, a pain ripped across her abdomen. She groaned in pain, still in between sitting down and standing up.

"Jac?" Jonny whispered. Jonny was confused because he thought that the new painkillers were working.

Normally, she would stay quiet for a few seconds before letting out a sigh of relief however, she was holding her breath for a long time. She finally breathed out quickly and sat down properly before she took in another breath and held it. This pain was obviously staying longer than usual so Jonny knelt down next to Jac and Mo placed her hands on Jac's shoulders.

Finally, Jac let out a sigh of relief. Jonny looked at her waiting for an explanation because she obviously wasn't surprised neither was Mo. However she slowly got up and began walking away. "Jac... Jac!" Jonny shouted as he chased after her.

"I'm going out for some air, I'll only be 5 minutes. Stay here." She demanded. Jonny saw the tears welling up in her eyes. She got into the lift and Jonny walked back to the nurses station because Mo had some explaining to do.

Jac continued her journey downstairs, she walked out of the building to the fresh air. She walked outside and sat on a dry bench under a tree. She leant her side against the back of the bench as she hugged her knees. A few tears rolled down her face, but she didn't know why. She wasn't upset or happy, she was just confused about what was happening to her. She sniffled and wiped away her tears. She sat there in silence alone for several minutes until someone interrupted her.

"Fancy meeting you out here!" He joked. Jac rolled her eyes as he sat down next to her on the bench, he looked straight into her eyes.

"Mo, told me. About your new pain relief routine."

"Did she now."

"Why didn't you tell me they weren't working because you threw them up?"

"Because you don't understand."

"Well why don't you help me to understand?" Jonny asked kindly.

"Alright, but I'm saying this once only." Jac began and Jonny sat there eager to hear her. "When I feel sick, or I'm in pain like I am now, I don't feel like talking. You say I'm making excuses so that we don't have to chat but I just want to relax and not talk okay? Especially when I've just actually been sick and you're immediately asking if I'm okay. I feel like if I speak I'll be sick again and I'm obviously not okay if I've just puked. And i hate it when everyone surrounds me when I wake up after fainting because it makes me panic. Alright? there I said it." Jac concluded, her eyes began welling up again.

"Oh Jac. I'm so sorry, if I'd have known you were feeling like that I-I." Jonny stopped as he saw a tear fall from Jac's eye, followed by several others.

"Oh Come here. Don't cry." He said softly as he stood up off of the bench and held his arms out. Surprisingly, Jac quickly got up and hugged him tightly. Jonny heard her sniff over his shoulder.

"Mo told me about what happened in theatre by the way." Jonny said to lighten the mood.

"What happened in theatre?" Jac said, her words were muffled over his shoulder.

"Mo said that you nearly wet yourself." Jonny said giggling a bit.

"I didn't nearly wet myself I just needed a wee." Jac said as she also giggled a bit. Jonny wanted to pull away as they had been hugging for ages but Jac was holding him so tightly and he didn't want to upset her.

After several minutes, Jac let go. "Ah, now I can let the blood flow back to my six pack." Jonny joked.

"You mean man boobs." Jac said rather bluntly. Jac took in a deep breath and sighed. "Oh no," Jac sighed.

"What?" Jonny asked as he panicked. He looked at Jac's face as it had considerably paled in the last few minutes. "Is the pain getting worse?" Jac shook her head as she wrapped her arms around her stomach and hung her head. "Do you feel sick?" Jac nodded.

"Right come on." Jonny placed his arm around Jac's shoulders. They began to walk back into the hospital and waited for the lift. Michael who had just bought a coffee walked up behind Jac.

"Hey how are you feeling Naylor?" Michael asked, he had forgotten about the coffee incident a few days ago. Jac turned around to see Michael holding the cup so she held her breath, hoping that the smell wouldn't enter her nostrils. She breathed out slowly hoping that the nausea would ease down but it didn't so she kept on breathing out.

Jac suddenly felt light headed and swayed into Jonny. "Whoa!" Jonny exclaimed. Jac couldn't stand straight and within seconds, everything went black.

Jonny caught her as she collapsed and the lift opened. Luckily everyone exited and only one other person got in the lift. Jonny remained holding Jac bridal style and Michael hit the button for Darwin.

As they left the lift, Mo and Elliot saw Jonny carrying an unconscious Jac. They followed Jonny and Michael and Jonny gently placed her on the bed in the on-call room. "What happened?" Mo asked

"I dunno," Jonny began "she said she felt sick so we were going to come back up here but then we met Michael and she just fainted."

"Well who wouldn't faint at the sight of this?" Michael joked and he opened his arms.

Jonny began to get a small bottle out of his scrub pocket and took the lid off. He went to put it near Jac when Mo grabbed his wrist.

"Stop! What is it?"

"Smelling salts. I thought it would save up waiting twenty minutes for her to come round!" He joked. Mo released her grip and Jonny moved the bottle under her nose.

Jac's eyelids began to flutter. "Jac? It's okay your in the oncall room" Jonny explained. Jac opened her eyes, went cross eyed and crinkled her nose up.

"Ugh, whoever's trying out a new aftershave, try another one." Jac joked in a serious tone.

She quickly doubled over in pain before groaning rather loudly.

"Right there's got to be something we can do about this! Mo get Mr T."

"No don't!" Jac muttered.

"Why not?" Jonny asked as he got slightly angry.

"Remember what I said?" Jonny looked at Jac in a confused way. "About not wanting to talk? And about loads of people? Theres nothing he can do. Just trust me okay?" Jac muttered before groaning again. Jonny remembered that lots of people around her made her panic so he kindly ushered everyone out and shut the door leaving just him kneeling next to Jac who was hugging her knees on the bed. Jac quickly placed her hand over her mouth and pushed Jonny out of the way as she ran into the ensuite.

Jac projectile vomited into the toilet and was about to collapse against the wall. Jonny however, run up behind her and put his hands under her arms, he picked her up so she was standing on her feet. Whilst he picked her up he said, "oh no you don't." He twisted her round and guided her back to bed. Jac was quietly groaning so she staying sitting up on the bed. Jonny shuffled behind her, he slipped his hands round her stomach and gently rubbed it in circular motions.

Mo walked in to find Jac with tears of pain pouring down her face and Jonny panicking behind her not knowing what to do. "Here, Elliot found it in your office. He thought you might need it now." Mo explained as she handed over 'the bitches hot water bottle' which she had just filled with boiling water.

"Listen, Jac you've only got an hour left on your shift so go home with Jonny."

Jac thought for several moments before she nodded in agreement and she slowly got up, Jonny helped her up and stopped at the door. "Er, Jac?" She turned around. "I'll be with you in one minute." Jonny said as he shut the oncall room door with him and Mo in it.

"Mo help me, what am I supposed to do? And she's going to be like this until what? Quarter past 8? What am I supposed to do with her for four hours?"

Jonny was panicking big time now. Jac was in pain and once again there was nothing he could do. Not only was she in pain but she felt sick again so he couldn't butter her up with chocolate. "And she feels sick." He added.

"Right, um," Mo began, she was trying to think of as many ideas to make Jac' pain and nausea bearable. "you could run her a warm bath. Or you could have a warm shower together again. Um rubbing her stomach appears to help a bit, do that. Keep the hot water bottle warm all the time. Oh um stop at the shop on the way back and get some ginger biscuits they'll help with the nausea, get some plain crackers for her to eat. And you could get some scented candles for the bath, don't use any soaps or salts in the bath ." Mo was almost out of breath after saying all of that.

"Why not?"

"Because it can cause thrush... Oh and there's those things called thermapads I think, they're like rubber, they're hot and they stick to your skin. She can use the hot water bottle while she's awake and when she goes to sleep, you can put on of them on her stomach and it won't come off in her sleep." Jonny stood there trying to remember it all.

"Right. Thank you Mo." Jonny said as he began to walk through the door.

"Oh Jonny Mac." Mo shouted and Jonny poked his head back round the door.

"Ring me later and let me know how she is please."

"Yep, will do. See ya tomorrow."

"Bye."
