Chapter 21:
The following morning Raf wakes once again to no bed covers "Cara please I'm cold" Raf says and Cara gives a moan and kicks some of the blanket back to him, "Are you alright?" Raf questions as he notices Cara keeps moaning to herself.
"What did we do last night?" Cara says as she opens her eyes and looks at Raf, "I feel like I've walked into a brick wall and I've walked into it a fair few times" Cara moans and Raf smiles at her he places his arm around Cara's waist and pulls her close.
He gives her a smile and replies "You had quite a lot to drink last night" Cara rolls onto her back and sits up, she looks at Raf and then places her head in her hands, she brings her knees up to her chest and sits there like that for a while, "Last night Cara you said you wanted a baby, was that you actually speaking or the drink?" Raf questions.
Cara groans as she has a headache and replies "Did I lose any dignity last night?" she rubs her forehead, Raf laughs as she grabs her empty glass off the bedside table and slowly gets up and makes her way through to the bathroom, she fills her glass with water and comes back through to the bedroom "Well?" she questions.
"That would be telling" Raf smiles as he steals a kiss off Cara, Cara smiles and goes through her draw and finds some soluble paracetamol out of the draw and pops them out and into her drink, "Cara did you mean in about how you wanted a baby last night?" Raf questions.
She moans and looks at Raf before clambering back under the covers and pulling the covers over her head and groans "Oh Raf what have I done to deserve this?" she says as she feels Raf get out of the bed, she hears a soft chuckle come from Raf as he gets out of bed.
Raf chuckles a little more as he grabs the bottom of the bed covers and hauls the blanket off Cara, revealing Cara who is curled up with her head under the pillow "Come on Cara" Raf says as he grabs hold of her ankles and pulls her.
She instantly grabs the metal head board and starts to squeal "Raf please no! It's my morning off work I deserve a lie in after last night" Cara giggles as Raf starts to tickle her feet, Cara squeals even more but is also giggling "R-R-Raf please s-s-stop" Cara cries as she finally lets go of the head board and slides to the bottom of the bed.
She stands up and looks at Raf her head still pounding from last night "What actually happen last night?" Cara smiles as she kisses Raf on the lips, he gives a soft chuckle and wraps his arms around her neck and smiles at her.
"I could give you a repeat of last night if you like" Raf says as he lifts her up so they are around the same height, Cara giggles and smiles at him she couldn't help but laugh at how cute Raf is being because it isn't normally like Raf to be so cute to her as he is normally very different at work.
He leans in and kisses her "Not at the moment Raf, but did we?" Cara questions and Raf nods she buries her head in his chest and laughs lightly and kisses his chest at the same time, she pulls away from Raf and lies back down on the bed and drapes her arm over her forehead and says "Raf I know you hear this a lot in your line of work but I think I'm going to die" she moans.
"No you're not you've just got a hangover it will go possibly by lunch" Raf says as he hands Cara her glass of water, "Anyway Miss Cara I think we do need to discuss last night now, before I go to work" Raf adds as he wraps his hands around Cara's waist and cuddles her from behind.
She smiles and leans back against him "Do we have two Raf? Cara says as she wiggles free and climbs back on the bed, "I have to work this evening I have been put on the night shifts until Christmas" Cara mumbles into her pillow and Raf laughs at her.
"Good luck with that then, the joys of the Saturday night drunks for you then" he says as he sits down next to her and kisses her on the cheek before getting ready for work, Cara rolls over and drops back off to sleep.
Just before Raf heads off to work he wakes Cara to let her know he's leaving, Once he has left a hung over Cara he makes his way to work wondering to himself whether Cara really meant it about having a baby, he knew she is still upset about losing the baby just over five months ago.
"Morning Mr Di Lucca, no Cara this morning?" Fletch says as he walks over to the queue for coffee, Raf turns to see Fletch and smiles and shakes his head.
"Unfortunately, Nurse Martinez is nursing a hangover at home and is starting her night shifts later for first time in five months" Raf replies as he takes a step forward as the queue starts to get slowly shorter, "I dragged her out of bed this morning but she climbed back in and went to sleep" Raf laughs as he finally is called to the counter "One double espresso to go please" Raf smiles.
Fletch sniggers to himself he knew Raf only has espresso after a busy night "So you and Cara did you have fun after you left last night?" Fletch questions cheekily as he knew only Raf would drink espresso the morning after he's had sex to keep him awake and an energy boost.
Raf glares at Fletch who laughs because he knew exactly what he'd been up to last night "And before you question me, yes we did it.. twice... in the bedroom" Raf replies as he walks away from the counter with Fletch.
Fletch cringes and replies "Raf I didn't ask for detail, whatever nonsense you and Cara get up to outside of work has nothing to do with me, all I asked was did you have fun and you nearly give me a lecture on what happened, Come on Raf I do know about the birds and the bees" Fletch laughs
Raf shakes his head and laughs with Fletch "Yes we did if that's what you want to know" Raf replies, he finishes his coffee and heads to the locker room with Fletch.
Once changed he decides to ask Fletch about Cara "Fletch can I ask your advice and opinion on something?" Raf says as he looks at the back of his ID badge where Cara has drawn many love hearts before tucking it away under his scrub top.
"And what advice would that be, if its relationship advice Raf your talking to the wrong man" Fletch implies as he also tucks his ID badge away, Before Raf starts Serena walks in and puts something in her locker so both Fletch and Raf head out of the locker room and make a slow walk towards the ward.
Raf decides to reply to Fletch now "Last night I and Cara... we... urm..." Raf begins.
"Yes you had sex" Fletch comes out with what Raf was about to say because he can see he's a little nervous and a little shy about that certain subject, he would of been alright if it was anyone else but Fletch works with Cara too so it makes it a little more awkward.
Raf starts again "Yes we did, and Cara said something to me which made me stop and think" Raf explains, "She also made me worry a little but I was unsure whether it was the drink or her speaking, you know what Cara can be like when she's had a few too many" Raf laughs and Fletch nods as if he understands what Raf is on about.
"Women are tricky things if you ask me, take Natalie for instance when she wanted a child before we even had Evie she kept giving me signs, is Cara giving you signs?" Fletch questions and Raf thinks to himself as he enters the ward and its pretty quiet on the ward.
He thinks to himself unsure of what to say "Well she keeps saying she wants a baby but sometimes I wonder if it's because she feels guilty about losing the other baby" he explains as best as he can, "I think she has baby fever to be honest with you Fletch, every time she sees a baby she's either smiling or saying how cute it is, don't get me wrong Fletch I would love a baby too but I'm worried Cara is just trying to make up for what she lost" Raf adds as Fletch sanitises his hands.
They begin the patient observations and start the ward round but still discuss Cara all the way round, "I might give her a text on my lunch break see how she is holding up" Raf smiles as he moves onto his next patient leaving Fletch with Mr Murphy who can't stop vomiting, Fletch gives Raf a smile and a nod and quickly grabs another vomit bowl.
"Raf your best option is to go home and discuss this with Cara, I'm sure she'd understand nurses always do" Fletch says as he finally finishes his observations on Mr Murphy, "You said it yourself you want a baby too, so what's stopping you?" Fletch adds and proves a good point.
Raf thinks to himself "As I've already said I'm worried she's trying to make it up to me" Raf explains and Fletch nods "Anyway she's on nights until Christmas so we can't try from now till Christmas Raf explains.
Later on Raf joins Fletch and Arthur In albies they join Zosia and Ollie who are already there, Raf has just seen Cara on her way to work and she seems to of come over her hang over now and now is just moaning about her night shifts for the next two months.
But the only good new Cara had found out is that Raf has managed to get Serena and Mr Hanssen to give them Christmas eve, day and boxing day off as its their first Christmas as a couple, but the bad news is that they have to both work nights from January till March to make up for the time off.
