OMG SPOILER ALERT IN THIS A/N. I cannot believe Jac calls her daughter Emma! Just like in my fan fic on my old account!
"Where you going?" Mo queried as Jac began to walk to her and Jonny's tent where their bags were.
"Get your stuff for a shower." Jac ordered as she groaned and sat down on the floor.
"What?"
"Jonny's got a friend who works at a shop near here and she's letting us use the staff showers, so you coming?" Jac queried as she took out her towel etc and put it in the rucksack that she had on the coach.
"Yeah sure." Mo replied before she headed to her and Mr T's tent. The two women packed their bags, with toiletries, a spare set of clothes, and Jac got her credit card, before they met by the fire pit. "Ready?" Mo queried. Jac nodded so the pair set off to the large supermarket.
"I've got a really bad feeling that something's going to happen." Jonny admitted to Elliot, Michael and Sacha.
"Like what?" Elliot queried.
"I don't know, I just don't like leaving Jac on her own here." Jonny replied.
"She'll be fine, she's got Mo with her." Michael stated but it did little to put Jonny at ease. Maybe he was just being overprotective of his partner and his daughter, but he couldn't get the pair off of his mind. He just hoped that the activities at the pool would take his mind off of them, so he would stop worrying.
"I remember taking you to your swimming lessons when you were younger." Guy smiled.
"I remember the creepy teacher- Martine. I hated her, she had a really weird accent." Zosia shuddered at the thought.
"She was South African." Guy laughed.
"Well I didn't know that, I was only like 9." Zosia argued.
"Remember when you was forced to do the swimming gala every year at secondary school?" Guy smirked.
"Ugh, I hated that PE teacher too. She wouldn't take no for an answer, she'd just come up to me and go: 'oh by the way, the swimming gala's next week and you're doing butterfly.'" Zosia mocked. "I wasn't even that good, I was an average swimmer. She only made me do it because no one else would."
"Didn't you come last every year?" He laughed.
"Yeah but that's because all the other schools had professional teams and swimming clubs, our school didn't do swimming at all." Zosia replied after she'd elbowed her father in the ribs.
"Excuses, excuses." Guy muttered. Zosia elbowed him again as she tried to conceal a smirk.
"Oh thank god." Jac proclaimed as she saw the big blue letters of: Tesco Extra.
"We've only been walking for 10 minutes." Mo laughed. The pair were walking along a pathway alongside a road that lead into the car park.
"Shut up I have a 25lb weight on my stomach to carry unlike you." Jac moaned.
"You've gained that much already? You're only 24 weeks!" Mo smirked.
"Yeah, thanks for the reminder." Jac grumbled. "I hope Jonny warned his friend about touching my bump. If she does I'll-"
"Jac." Mo said sternly.
"What? It's really annoying when people think pregnancy means that anyone is free to touch you. I barely let Jonny touch me let alone anyone else." Jac explained.
"Am I allowed?" Mo queried.
"Why would you want to touch my stomach? I don't get it." Jac stated.
"Memories." Mo admitted quietly.
"Maybe later." Jac replied sheepishly.
Everyone was changed and they had just walked out around the poolside where the fairly large pool was empty because Guy had booked it for their group. All of the men (Guy, Elliot, Michael, Sacha, Jonny, Mr T, Harry and Arthur) were in swimming trunks, Gemma was in a light blue swimming costume -which showed her slim figure and cleavage, she just didn't want anyone to see her stretch marks- and Zosia was in a black, strapless bandeau bikini which showed more than her father was comfortable with, though he knew better than to comment on it.
"Hi guys, I'm Shaun and I'm in charge of your activities today." He announced. He was in a yellow lifeguard shirt and red swimming trunks with a whistle around her neck. "First things first, have we got anyone who can swim or isn't a strong swimmer?" He queried and there were no replies, but mere shakes of their heads. "Right okay, I want you to divide yourselves into two teams of 5 please. And I'd like the ladies to split up, and a range of ages on each team so you're of equal abilities." He explained. It took mere seconds before the groups were formed. "Okay, that was easy, now I want you to come up with a team name quickly." He ordered and after a few minutes of whispering and laughing, they decided on 'Blood, sweat and beers' and 'The Moose Knuckles.'
"Right, you're lucky there aren't any kids here today," Shaun joked, "everyone introduce your self from Team Blood Sweat and beers." He ordered.
"Sacha."
"Harry."
"Gemma."
"Michael."
"Elliot."
"And team Moose Knuckles?" He laughed.
"Jonny."
"Derwood." Mr T stated and Jonny burst out laughing. "Alright, I take that back, call me Mr T." He corrected.
"Arthur."
"Guy."
"Zosia."
"Righty ho, well the first task, involves these." He stated as he took out a large bucket of loads of ping pong balls and small bouncy balls. "You'll start in your teams, either side of the pool with a bucket for each team. You have to swim and collect the balls, one at a time only, and place them in the bucket, and keep going until they've all gone. Now the ping pong balls, which float, are worth 1 point each, and the bouncy balls which sink, are worth 5 points each. There will be a lifeguard by each team's bucket so there isn't any cheating and do not get more than one ball at a time." He warned. "Now blood sweat and beers, I want you over by my colleague Paul, and team moose knuckles, you're with my colleague, Kacey." He explained, the teams walked to their sides of the pool, and as Jonny was walking, he looked up to see that Kacey, was a beautiful women in her mid twenties, in a tight red bikini with a whistle around her neck, resting on her cleavage.
"What I wouldn't give to blow her whistle." Jonny whispered to Mr T.
"Mm, I'm sure Jac would approve of that." Mr T smirked.
"Well I'm not getting anything off of her am I?" Jonny grumbled.
"Pregnancy's bound to make her a bit self conscious Jonny." Mr T stated, as he knew that the one bit of weakness Jac showed, was when she was embarrassed at her scans to reveal her stomach.
"It's not that. The endometriosis makes intercourse painful for her." Jonny stated quietly.
"Oh well, there are things you can do to solve that." Mr T replied. "I'll talk to you about it later yeah?"
"Yeah, that'd be great, thanks." Jonny said gratefully.
"Why do squirrels swim on their backs?" Harry began as he, Gemma Sacha, Michael and Elliot stood ready to begin. "To keep their nuts dry!" Harry joked and everyone smirked.
"Oh, so you can swim on your front then." Gemma said cheekily.
"I can prove you wrong right here, right now if you want me to." Harry stated as he put his hands at the top of his trunks.
"I don't think that'll be necessary thank you." Michael stated sternly.
"Right are we all ready?" Shaun shouted.
Jac, with her rucksack on one shoulder and one hand on her bump approached the cafe's bar with Mo in tow.
"Jac?" A woman with black, shoulder length, straight hair and a Scottish accent queried. "Mo?"
"Yes." Jac said reluctantly as she looked at the woman in her uniform behind the till. How did she know their names?
"Hi, Jonny told me to look out for ginger hair and a bump." She smiled. Jac forced a smile as she didn't want to be rude to a woman who was helping them. "Marie, I'll just take my break now okay?" She said to an older woman who approached the till and placed a tray of used cups on the counter.
"Aye, sure." She replied before she walked away to clear the remaining tables.
"Right, there's two showers," she explained as she led the pair behind the cafe and through a series of corridors, "I've never used them to be honest but I'm sure they'll be better than nothing." She smiled as she opened a door into a small square changing room with a bench either side and a hair dryer and mirror on the wall with two showers in front of them with only a thin shower curtain to close them. "Um, once you're done I can get you a free drink and snack from the cafe if you'd like." She smiled as she pair entered and placed their bags on a bench either side of the small room.
"That's great, thank for this." Mo smiled.
"No worries." She smiled before she left the room leaving the two women.
They both faced a wall away from each other and kicked their shoes off. Jac took her coat, jumper and shirt off and stood there in leggings and a tight vest. She turned around to see Mo's back, luckily she was still decent.
"Mo..." Jac began.
"Yeah." Mo said as she turned around and saw Jac as she lifted her shirt up a few inches revealing her bump. Carefully, Mo hovered her hand in the air before she gently placed it on Jac's bump. As if the baby could feel Mo's cold hand making contact with her mother's skin, she kicked at the exact point making both women smile. After a few moments, Mo decided that she was pushing her luck so she took her hand off and Jac soon turned around. "Jac, thanks." Mo said softly. It brought back memories of her own pregnancy, though not as vivid. Jac contemplated replying, but she couldn't think of anything to say so she changed the subject.
"I swear if you look." Jac threatened.
"I think you'll find we've been in this situation before, and like that time, you're so not my type if I was that way inclined." Mo stated as she remembered the time that the pair were in theatre with a contaminated patient. She too turned around and both women undressed before slipping quickly into the shower and they left their towel on the end of each bench.
"On your marks, get set, go!" Shaun shouted and all 10 of team holby jumped in. Most of them bombed in however, Zosia -who had her hair in a high bun out of here face- gracefully dived in creating almost no splash. She obviously intended to retrieve the bouncy balls at the bottom of the pool because she was a confident swimmer when it came to holding her breath. Most people collecting ping pong balls chucked them from the edge of the pool into the bucket to save them from getting out, however Zosia had to be more careful, as the bouncy balls were more likely to bounce back out of the plastic tub. She soon perfected a technique to collect the bouncy balls.
Jonny and Sacha thought it would be funny to jump on each other's backs to try and push each other under and stop them from getting balls. They also coughed when the other tried to throw a ball into the bucket to try and distract them. Shaun caught eye of this and he blew his whistle.
"You two, stop trying to drown each other and you might actually get some points for your team." He ordered. Jonny laughed before he jumped off of Sacha and swam away to get the balls. It took a good ten minutes before all of the balls were collected and then Kacey and Paul had to count the balls and add up the points.
"Kacey, now many points to team Moose Knuckles?" Shaun asked.
"86." She stated.
"Paul, how many did blood sweat and beers get?"
"114." He replied. Guy smiled as he patted Zosia on the back.
"Well done team." Guy said kindly.
Jac had finished cleaning herself and she had definitely warmed up in the steamy shower. She wanted to get out and then go shopping, but she didn't want to get out incase Mo got out at the same time.
"Can you stay in there for a while so I can get changed?" Jac asked.
"Yeah, sure." Mo replied. Jac turned off the shower and quickly exited and wrapped her towel around her body. She got changed, gave Mo the all clear and began drying her hair with the hair dryer as she looked in the mirror. Mo stayed in the shower until she heard the hair dryer click off because she didn't want to get changed whilst Jac was there. "Can you pass me my towel please?" Mo asked. Jac grabbed Mo's towel and handed it through the shower curtain before she returned to packing her back and then got her credit card and phone out.
"Listen, Jonny asked me to get him a few bits so I'm just gonna go shopping quickly, I'll meet you in the cafe yeah?" Jac explained once Mo had come out with her body wrapped in a towel.
"Yep, you can leave your bag here if you want, I'll look after it." Mo smiled. Jac nodded in thanks as she placed her rucksack back down on the bench and the headed out to the shop. She got a basket and filled it with two freshly filled baguettes for her and Jonny's lunches, along with a bag of crisps each, a bottle of chocolate yazoo for Jonny, some more chocolate, a 2L bottle of cream soda for herself and a small tub of cocoa body butter.
There will be more on the swimming stuff and Jac/mo stuff but I thought I'd update this tonight instead of nothing. Thanks for reading, please review x
