The sound of Jac's alarm starled her, she couldn't believe that the one day she had off, she had spent it throwing up, what sort of a day of was that. As she shifted her position in the bed she couldn't help but think that in 9 months time she would be experiencing motherhood. Jac and Joseph had spent most the night talking about their future, they had ruled out that idea of having a termination. That wasn't the way forward. The pair was just getting used to being in a relationship and now they had created a little someone. Someone that was their own, part of them.

Jac didnt want to go to work, she wasn't feeling in the spirit to face Sahira or Hanssen. She was down for Surgery at 10- fitting a pacemaker in a fifty year old business man. Jac knew she had to go into work, it was her duty but she just wanted to stay in bed.

As she hoisted herself out of bed just peering over her shoulder at Joseph who was sound sleep, she didnt want to leave him, but she had to. She walked over to the chair in the corner of the room where her dark blue blouse and her brown trousers were laid out straight. She thought to herself ' few more months, im not going to fit these'. She slowly slipped her trousers on and her blouse, walked over to Josep who was still in a deep sleep, she bent down and gently kissed his forehead and whispered 'I love you'. Then off she went, to another day of work.

Upon her arrival she saw Sahira struggling to hold Harry and to hold her bags. So Jac pondered off to Sahira

'Here let me take something' Jac said

Jac thought that Sahira was going to hand her the bags but instead she handed 8 month old Harry over.

' Okay then, i was going to say hand me the bags but ok' Jac laughed.

' Its nice to have someone else hold them for a change, me and James are forever holding them' Sahira replied.

When Sahira handed Harry over on her first day, Jac didn't know how to hold him or what to do. She felt useless. However this time, she felt like a natural and Harry wasn't crying, instead he was smiling and chuckling. Jac started to smile as herself and Sahira took to the elevator.

'Jac, i think he likes you' Sahira said.

' That makes a change eh' Jac replied as she was tickling Harry's little feet.

Jac couldn't help but think, that soon enough that would hers and Joseph's little baby she would be holding.
A enormous smile over took Jac's face leaving Sahira to think

' Jac, you never smile if i hand you one of my boys. So why have you started now?' Sahira said in some confusion

Jac wasn't ready to tell anyone yet, she only just got over the fact that shes pregnant herself, but Sahira was her best friend so it wasn't no harm in telling her..

' When you drop Harry of at the nursery come and find me and i'll tell you'

Jac passed Harry back to Sahira and left the Elevator.

' Naylor, Your theatre slot has been moved to half nine' Spence rambled from the oppposite side of the ward.

' Great one Spence' Jac remarked.

Thirty minutes to wait untill she was due in theatre. Jac crept into the office and began to dial a number

' Oh hello, i wonder if you help it its Jac Naylor from Darwin, would it be possible to book an appointment for around 3 O'clock?' Jac sounded so innocent when on the phone. ' Thank you very much'

What Jac didnt know was that Sahira was stood at the door listening to the phone call. She spun around in the car to find Sahira stood there with her arms crossed.

'I take it you were there through-out my phone call?' Jac asked.

' Correct, what did you want to tell me anyway?'

Jac looked towards the ground while twiddling her thumbs, Sahira strolled over and sat on the desk and peered down at Jac

Under her breath Jac said ' im pregnant'

' Your what?' Sahira couldn't believe what she was hearing.

' I'm pregnant' Jac repeated.

' oh my god Jac, thats fantastic.. congratulations!' Sahira stood up and put her arms around her friend.

' Thanks Sahira, buts its early days so can we keep this between us' Jac pleaded.

' Oh yes, of course, anything you want. Im here if you need me' Sahira told Jac as she huged her.

'JAC YOUR PATIENTS GONE INTO VF' Spence shouted from the ward.

Without saying thank you to Sahira, Jac jumped out the seat and ran to his attention. Jac climbed ontop of the paitent performing CPR while the bed was being wheeled into theatre. Times like this really stressed Jac out, having to peform CPR to a paitent was one of the most hard intense moments, when the paitent survived it was like a gash of acomplishment , but if it went the other way and they didn't survive, she felt a wave of disappointed and frustration. Guess thats the life of being a Consultant cardiothoracic surgeon.
Unfortunately Jac wasn't able to save the old man, he was to far gone by the time Jac had reached him. Jac then felt that wave of frustration overcome her body. This wasn't a good combination with the nausea feeling.

' Jac Jac, why did you run of?' Sahira asked as she walked towards Jac

' Sorry about that, Patient went into VF' Jac replied as she adjusted her clothes.

' Successful?'

' Nope, lost 'em'

' Oh Jac, don't take it to heart'

' No I wont. Anyway, I have a appointment in half an hour, would you mind coming with me? Joseph had to go and see his mother, I'd really appreciate the company and support' Jac asked

' Course I'll come with you Jac, you know. I'm going to be with Joseph behind you, if you need any questions.. ask me? You know, I do have two of my own, I have experience and trust me half the time it isn't nice experience' Sahira giggled

Jac found her self smiling, that's the first time she smiled since holding Harry. Jac was very appreciative of Sahira. Jac never really had an true friends, she didn't want to get to close to anyone because she knew deep down that they would back stab her. Sahira was the first true friend that Jac has trusted and let into her life. Sahira was down to earth, warm spirited and respectable women. Although she hadn't experienced the childhood that Jac did she was very sympathetic and understandable..

' Jac, its five to three. Did you want get going?' Sahira mumbled as she sat next to Jac.

'mm, yeah alright then' Jac said, she seem unsure about this.

' Everything's going to be fine Jac, just think of Joseph and how you and him are going to make such lovely parents' Sahira said calmly.

Jac and Sahira walked towards the elevator. Jac's heart was beating extremely fast. She was about to see a Doctor and confirm that she was pregnant. Jac hesitated outside the door, she swallowed and walked in.

' It's Jac Naylor.. my appointment is at 3 with Mr Bundler' Jac said in a quiet voice

' Thank you Miss Naylor, Mr Bundler will be with you shortly'.

Jac and Sahira sat down awaiting for Jac's name to be called. These moments were the most agonising minutes ever, apart from the two minutes wait for the pregnancy test. After this appointment Jac would either walk out the room with her mind set ready for motherhood or she'd come out that room the same as she entered, surely she is pregnant because pregnancy tests don't give off false

' Miss Naylor'

Jac stood up adjusted her self and followed Mr Bundler.

' Wait, Is it alright if my friend comes too?' Jac nervously asked

'Yes of course' Replied Mr bundler

Sahira stood up and walked behind Jac.. Jac went and laid down on the bed. Although Jac was a doctor herself, she felt nervous

' So the pregnancy test showed up positive right?'

Jac nodded and slowly stared at Sahira who at this point was smiling at her friend, She winked at Jac and gave her the thumbs up. As he applied the gel to Jac's stomach she felt excited. She could be seeing her little baby on the screen.

'OK, so.. if we are lucky.. we will be able to see if the test was correct'

As this point Jac was biting her lip, despite the expression oh her face, Jac did want to be pregnant. It would bring her and Joseph closer together, they would be exploring the lovely natural cause of parenthood.

'There we go'

Jac's head quickly turnt to the screen to find a little heartbeat.

'You mean.. t-t-thats my baby?.'

It looked like a peanut, but when that little heartbeat was flicking Jac fell in love, she was so overwhelmed, her eyes were filling up with tears. Jac glanced over to Sahira who looked like she was crying too, Jac blinked and smiled. This one little tear rolled down her check. Jac wasn't one to cry in front of people, even Sahira knew this, but this was an exception.

' Yeah, the test was correct, I will print out the scan picture for you to take away with you, did you want me to leave the screen on for a moment?' He kindly asked.

'Yes please' Jac's said, her voice was so quiet.

Sahira got out the chair and came and sat on the bed with Jac, she was smiling along with Jac. The old stubborn Jac has gone and been replaced with a friendlier and respectable Jac.

'Jac that's your little baby, him or her is part you.. its going to be a stubborn little child' Sahira joked hoping Jac wouldn't take it the wrong way.

Jac didn't reply but she laughed, so obviously Sahira's remark was successful. Mr Bundler came back in the room with the baby picture, he wiped away the gel that was still upon Jac's stomach. He handed the photo to Jac and showed the pair out.

'Jac, I gotta dash and go pick up Harry. We still on for tomorrow? Thanks for allowing me to see your baby, your going to make a lovely mother!'

' I appreciate it Sahira thanks ever so much and yes, even more reason to celebrate now!' Jac laughed.

Off Sahira dashed leaving Jac slowly making her way back to the ward holding the photo in her hand, she still couldn't believe that she saw her baby, the heartbeat was the cherry on the cake . She as approached the ward she saw Joseph stood their chatting to Greg Douglas. Joseph saw Jac out the corner of his eye and cut off the conversation with Greg. He walked around the desk and towards to Jac with his arms open. Jac smiled and walked straight into them. She peered at Greg, he seemed to point at the pair and then made a love heart out of his hands. Jac smiled and nodded. She pulled away, and took out the scan photo. As she did she whispered to Joseph' went for a confirmation, we are pregnant' She showed Joseph the photo, with arm he held Jac and the scan. Jac peered up to Joseph, he blink and a few tears rolled down his cheeks. He then put his head on her head and kissed her. Jac carefully took the photo and put it back in her pocket while Joseph had one hand around her back and the other hand on her stomach, Jac nestled her head within his shoulders. She placed on hand on top of Joseph's hand which was on her stomach, she smiled and whispered 'I love you both more than anything' while Joseph held his family in his arms.
