"Jac, I'm sorry you've lost the baby." Mr T stated as the distressed red headed consultant sat on the bed with blood oozing from between her legs and a pool of the warm, thick, sticky liquid began to form.

"No... No I-"
"I can't believe what you've done. You insensitive, heartless cow!" Jonny shouted. "How can you just sit there and let this happen? It's your fault, you were carrying my baby girl and now she's gone." Jonny stated angrily through his tears.
"Jonny, it was a miscarriage." Mr T stated. "There's nothing she could've done."
"No... No... No."


3am
"No." Jac whispered as she woke up. Instantly, she shot up and placed her hand on her racing heart before she slipped her hand between her legs to feel just her dry leggings. It was just a dream; it wasn't real. Jac concluded. Jonny awoke to sudden movement of the woman who had been asleep in his arms and as he sat up, he saw the panic and fear in her eyes through the dim moon light that was seeping through the thin tent walls.
"Jac? Oh sweetheart what's wrong?" He asked softly as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She fumbled with the zip before she pulled back the sleeping bag and used her phone as a torch at the top of her black leggings (which was made difficult by her still present bump)- which, after further investigation, were definitely dry and not blood stained. "Have you leaked?" Jonny asked quietly and Jac shook her head. "Is it pain? From last night?" He queried worriedly and Jac shook her head again. A single tear escaped her eye and rolled down her cheek so he pulled her into a hug back down under the sleeping bag to comfort her. He continued to hug her until her racing heart beat lowered and she felt able to talk to him.

"I thought I'd lost her." Jac croaked quietly. "And then you were blaming me but it wasn't my fault." She added almost as a whisper but at that time in the morning, all was silent so he heard her.
"Well she's still here." Jonny smiled as he put his hand on her bump. "And if we did lose her, I'd never blame you." He added softly. "I think it was just a nightmare."

Jac nodded before she buried her head under his chin so he couldn't see her frightened face. Jonny pulled the sleeping bag up to Jac's chin to keep her warm and hugged her until he eventually felt her go limp; she had managed to fall asleep again. He stayed awake a little longer to ensure that she was in a deep sleep, before he let himself fall back to sleep again.


5:45am
"Harry... Harry." Gemma whispered to wake him up. Eventually he stirred and rubbed his eyes before he seemed properly alert.
"What's up?" Harry croaked.
"It says a teaspoon of this in hot water can unblock noses." Gemma whispered quietly as she showed him the small jar of vapour rub. Harry got the message loud and clear so he took the jar off of her and got out of his sleeping bag. He boiled some water in the Trangia, pour it into a plastic mug, and added a good teaspoon of the vapour rub, and stirred it. He zipped himself back in their tent and handed it to Gemma.
"There you go." He smiled sleepily.
"You look funny when you've just woken up, you know that?" Gemma smirked before she took in deep breaths as she smelt the hot liquid. Harry just laughed tiredly before he crawled back into his sleeping bag and fell asleep again, leaving Gemma to 'aw' at him as she attempted to clear her congested self.


Mo, who was always groggy in the mornings, awoke in a double sleeping bag by herself. She guessed that Mr T had gone to the forest to relieve himself, so she stretched out her limbs before she curled back up again because she considered it to be too early to get up because she hadn't heard any movement of her fellow camp mates outside yet. She deemed herself unable to go back to sleep as she had already had her usual 8 hours that were required to reboost her so she began thinking about anything. It was Thursday, which meant that they were halfway through their 10 stay in Scotland, and there was only 3 more nights that they would be sleeping on the ground for- though being in a small space with a man she admired definitely wasn't a bad thing.

Suddenly, she was brought out of her thoughts when Mr T unzipped the tent, letting in the cold, yet fresh air along with a strong whiff of coffee.
"I thought you could do with a kick for this morning." He smiled as he handed Mo a cup of coffee before he took a sip from his own.
"Why?"
"Because it's 7am, and you were still out like a light a few minutes ago. We're leaving in a hour." He stated.
"7? How come no one else is up?" Mo queried.
"They are. Jonny's making Jac's breakfast which consists of chocolate chip brioche, and warm, melted Nutella, Elliot's packing his stuff away, Guy is speaking to Zosia in her tent and I don't know about the rest of them." He explained. Mo raised her eyebrows in acknowledgment before she took a sip of the hot beverage.


Guy squatted down besides his daughter's tent before he unzipped it and clapped his hands loudly to wake her up. She screwed her face up at the light entering her eyes before she stifled a yawned and propped herself up on her elbows.
"What?" She moaned.
"It's 7 o'clock Zosia, you need to get up." He stated.
"Five more minutes." Zosia groaned as she turned over and pulled the sleeping bag over her head.
"You were always like this when you were younger. One day you'd be up at the crack of dawn, the next you never wanted to get up." Guy chuckled.
"Piss off." Zosia ordered.
"Five more minutes, and if you're not up, I'll pour water down your neck, and you know I will." He stated before he stood up and left, leaving her tent wide open for everyone else to see her attempting to sleep.


"There you go." Jonny smiled as he sat down besides Jac and handed her a plastic plate with two chocolate chip brioches with a layer of melted Nutella in the middle of each of them. She hadn't said much since awakening, which concerned Jonny slightly because she was usually moaning at this time of the day- well she moaned all day but usually more so in the mornings when she was grouchy.
"What if it was a sign?" Jac asked eventually after taking a bit of her breakfast.
"What if what was a sign?" Jonny queried, he wasn't fully aware of what happened in her dream so he had to ask.
"Me miscarrying. What if-"
"Don't even go there. Your 24 weeks pregnant so you're safely past the common miscarriage period." Jonny stated.
"25 weeks." Jac corrected. "I'm 25 weeks today."
"See!" He smiled. "You're well into your 2nd trimester, you're nearly into your third, Jac." Jonny said kindly which seemed to put Jac at ease. "C'mon, eat up. Wouldn't want my two girls getting hungry." He smiled.


Guy had just come back from the toilet when he noticed that Zosia's tent was still open, and she was still wrapped up in her sleeping bag. He shook his head as he got a bottle of water from his tent, before he squatted down besides her and trickled some water down her neck.
"Dad!" She squealed as she jumped up and pushed him away. She was thankfully in her clothes from yesterday rather than her pyjamas -all of which were revealing and skimpy- as she stood with everyone staring at her and trying not to laugh. "Right, that's it." She snatched the bottle of water off of her dad and poured it all over him. "What was the point in doing that?" She shrieked.
"Well you're out of bed aren't you?" Guy laughed before he shook the excess water out of his hair, getting Zosia even wetter.


10am
The group were walking up a particularly steep hill when Jonny had to catch Jac who had fallen limp and almost collapsed.
"Mo." He shouted because she was nearest. Everyone turned around to see the unconscious, pregnant consultant who was in Jonny's arms on the floor.
"It's alright, she's just fainted." Mo said calmly as she squatted down besides the pair whilst the rest of the group had stopped. Mo placed two fingers on Jac's neck to feel her pulse which was quicker that usual, but nothing to worry about. "It'll just be going up hill that's making her a bit light headed." She concluded.

"I wonder if- Gemma, Gemma?" Harry began speaking but Gemma too passed out and collapsed into her partner's arms. Slowly, Harry lowered to the ground and let Gemma's upper half lay back on him.
"Right, do you know what's wrong with Gemma?" Guy asked concernedly he looked at the young, healthy doctor who didn't present a reason as to why she had fainted unless she had a 'women's issue' similar to his daughter's.
"Um she's ill, she had a blocked nose and she was a little wheezy so she just needs to catch her breath back." Harry explained. Guy nodded and then stood up next to Zosia.

"What're the chances of two women fainting at the same time?" Guy laughed quietly.
"I don't know but at least we get a break." Zosia smiled evilly as she placed her hands on her abdomen and linked her fingers.
"How're you? Pain okay now?" Guy asked quietly as he nodded down to her stomach.
"I thought you said to me: don't worry, I'm not gonna keep on asking." Zosia said as her cheeks went a little redder. She didn't like that her dad knew what she was going through, though it did feel nice that he cared enough to ask how she was doing every now and then.


"Nice of you to join us." Mo joked quietly as Jac had come round, she was still leaning back on Jonny for the support that she needed whilst she regained her strength.
"How're you feeling? Still dizzy?" Mr T asked as the four were on the hill's forest floor which was dusted by a layer of snow.
"No but I'm hungry." Jac stated sleepily to the amusement of Jonny. "My lips feel weird." Jac stated as she bit her lip.
"You are looking a little shaky, I think it's low blood sugar." Mr T concluded. "Did you have any breakfast?"
"Yeah... chocolate brioche." Jac replied slowly as she was still getting used to her bearings. Jonny would've replied but he knew as a medical professional that it was best for the patient to reply so they could evaluate their competence or alertness.

"And have you eaten anything since then? Or had any sugary drinks?" Mr T asked as Guy and Zosia approached them and Jac shook her head. "Okay, right just eat and drink something sweet then, you'll be okay once you've eaten." He concluded as he stood up and with the help of her gynaecologist, her partner and her partner's best friend, Jac stood up too.

"Right, let's sit you down over here." Jonny said as he helped Jac whilst Mo took her backpack off of her. He sat her down on a fallen tree trunk and opened the top of his bag. "Pineapple juice and pack of haribo smurfs sound appealing?" Jonny queried as he dangled them in front of her. Jac took the carton of juice from him, put the straw in the hole and took a few sips of it. Jonny at next to her, opened the bag of sweets and took one for himself before he offered the rest of the bag to Jac.

After Jac was seen to, Guy, followed by Zosia, headed back over to Gemma who had also regained consciousness, though she was still a little dazed.
"She says she's normally like this when she's ill because she gets low blood pressure." Harry explained. "Could you give me a hand?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Guy replied as he helped Gemma onto her feet and both men ensured she was stable before they let go of her. "Right Gemma, we're just gonna take a ten minute break okay so get your breath back and relax for a while." Guy said kindly before he left to join his daughter once more.
"Ugh, I feel bloody awful." Gemma moaned as she and Harry sat down on another log which was at a slight angle so she was leaning on Harry. Harry took out a tissue and offered it to Gemma who blew her nose. He then opened Gemma's coat pocket where he attempted to find the packet of soothers but instead he took out a thin, long, yellow plastic wrapper concealing a tampon and applicator.
"I don't suppose this had anything to do with the fact that you didn't want to sleep in the same sleeping bag as me last night did it?" Harry queried. Gemma looked down and took the item off of Harry before she shoved it in her pocket and zipped it up. She took a soother from her other pocket and put it in her mouth as if it excused her from speaking. "I'll take that as a yes then." Harry concluded.

They rested for a while until everyone -well mainly Gemma and Jac- were ready to go, before they left and carried on their journey.

Thanks for reading, please review x
Coming up, Michael and Sacha's pranking war continues and Jac's team orders a takeaway- will the pregnant one be able to resist whilst the other's eat her favourite greasy Chinese foods which she knows will almost certainly result in an upset stomach if she ate them?
