"Are you okay?"

"It's just nausea, I'm not dying," Archie told Will as she moved away from the desk with her patient's notes. "If you really want to help me, use your charm to work on those CT scan ladies upstairs."

Will smirked a little. "I would, but I've got to work with Mrs Beauchamp today."

Archie nodded once and turned away from him, walking towards her patient's cubicle. She would wait for the results, for now, she'll have to settle on making him as comfortable as possible before moving momentarily to the next patient.

As she reached the cubicle and her hand went to pull the curtain back, she felt a wave of dizziness and closed her eyes. She took a moment to steady herself before opening her eyes, taking a deep breath and entering the cubicle.

It was a quick job, check on the patient's head wound and move on, but she felt so sluggish. All she wanted to do was fall asleep but she had taken the twelve-hour shift, thinking nothing of her pregnancy symptoms worsening.

"Want me to take over?" Jacob asked her, entering the cubicle.

Archie nodded. "If you don't mind," she mumbled, already taking her gloves off and leaving, disposing of the gloves.

She headed towards the staffroom and went to the sink, making herself a glass of water. Drinking it whole, she hoped it would wake her up somewhat. She couldn't have caffeine and that annoyed her but she wasn't about to risk her child's life for a bit of a wake-up call. That and the man she was having the child with was a paediatrician.

Not that one cup of coffee would hurt... But something told her it wasn't lack of sleep. She had a full thirteen-hour sleep, it was probably the baby who didn't get enough sleep.

"You're worrying me," Will said from behind her, coming up to place a steady hand on her hip.

"Get off," she said softly. "Someone will notice."

"Is that so bad?"

"Can we keep this to ourselves? I don't want anyone in my business, our business," Archie stated.

Will sighed. "Go home."

"No."

"You've probably got severe morning sickness-"

"I know what I've got."

"Archie-"

"William."

"Had to pull that card, didn't yer?" He asked, grinning. "I'll back off if you let me check you over."

She glared at him. "You don't need to."

"Just being cautious," he said. "Or go upstairs to the maternity ward and get some blood tests done. Have you started taking vi-"

"For the love of-" She sighed heavily and turned to face him fully, placing her hands on his shoulders. "Will, I'm fine. Nausea will not be the death of me. You will. Unless you want my knee in the place that caused this," she pointed to her stomach. "I'd suggest you shut up now."

"Yes, ma'am," he said jokingly. "But if you don't feel well, just let me know and I'll cover for you. We have got each other's backs, remember?"

Archie smiled. "We do. Thanks."

"Oh, I'm telling my parents tonight. Want to be there?"

Archie gave him a look of confusion. "Do I need to be? It's on the phone, right?"

"No, they're coming to visit. I asked them if I could tell them something face to face," he told her as they headed out of the staffroom.

"God, they're going to think you're getting married."

He frowned before gasping. "Oh-"

"You're an idiot," she told him before heading to her patient and Jacob. "I'll be there!" She said over her shoulder.

After treating their patient and discharging them, Jacob asked Archie out for drinks later with Ethan.

"No, I can't," she said. "I have something on this night but maybe next time?" She said. "Really sorry."

"Nah, no worries," Jacob said. "You're glowing, by the way. New skincare routine?"

Archie chuckled nervously. "Something like that," she said, meeting Will's mischievous eyes. "Shut up."

"I didn't say nothin'!" He cried out as Jacob walked off in amusement. "Got something for Masters?"

Archie glared at him. "Even if I did, it's none of your business and I'm..." She leant in closer. "Having your baby."

"Don't act too happy about that," he replied, smirking. "Didn't know I had it in me."

"Will!"

"I'll shut up now."

"Please do."
