Today Mary-Claire and Harry hadn't been speaking because of a silly argument last night about what they were going to watch on TV. The only way Harry could know if Mary-Claire was okay was by asking Colette or Raf who had been speaking to her today. Mary-Claire was in the middle of treating her patient when she felt an odd sensation in her abdomen, when she realised that the baby was kicking for the first time she sprinted over to Harry dropping her notes and leaving her patient she ran shouting "Harry... Harry" Harry instantly panicked and thought she was losing the baby he said to Mary-Claire "What, What is happening where the fire" Mary-Claire quickly grabbed Harry's hand and placed it on her bump and said "feel what it's doing?" Harry was completely amazed by the baby kicking Mary-Claire told him when Harry had his hand on her bump the baby seemed to be kicking harder. "I think the baby likes you Harry" Mary-Claire said Harry looked up at her and smiled "How do you know?" Harry added "Well for a start whenever I am around you the baby seems to be calmer but when you put your hand on my bump the kick harder"
Harry carried on feeling Mary-Claire's stomach until Colette came over and said "Am I interrupting something but we have a 15 year old boy coming up from the ED with a queried fractured pelvis can you to please do that later?" Mary-Claire looked at Colette and said "Sorry nurse Sheward but the little one was kicking for the first time I thought Harry should know and feel." Colette laughs before walking over to the teenager who had just arrived, Harry gave Mary-Claire a quick smile before going over to the teenager who was crying with pain.
After a while Mary-Claire decided to go and see if Harry and the rest of the staff needed any help with anything, Serena told her that there was a man in bed three who needed his head stitching after a drunken fight. Mary-Claire huffed and walked over to the man and said "Right Mr Benson, I am nurse Carter and I am going to stitch your cut up on your head is that okay?" Mr Benson rolled his eyes and looked at Mary-Claire and said "You cannot be a nurse you are Pregnant !" Mary-Claire ignored him and carried on getting the needle and thread ready.
"Right Mr Benson this might feel weird but if you sit still it will be over soon" Mary-Claire said in a cheery tone as she began to stitch Mr Benson's head. Mr Benson started to get a bit annoyed by Mary-Claire stitching his head but he was drunk so he didn't know what he was doing, Raf came over to see if Mary-Claire needed any assistance with Mr Benson but Mary-Claire said she was doing fine as long as he would shut up, Raf left Mary-Claire to it and went to treat another patient.
"Mr Benson I need you to sit down please I haven't finished with you yet" Mary-Claire said sternly as she tried to sit Mr Benson back down onto the bed, Mary-Claire was really struggling but there was no one round to help her, she was limited to her options because she was pregnant, Mary-Claire once again tired to push him down onto the bed but this man was a drunken mess and pushed her back and shouted "Get off me you stupid Cow" As the drunken Mr Benson pushed Mary-Claire she lost her footing and fell to the floor with a bang.
Mary-Claire gave out a cry as she hit the floor, Mr Benson had ran off and Mary-Claire was on the floor in agony. Raf and Harry heard Mary-Claire cry out in pain as she hit the floor, Harry and Raf came running to see Mary-Claire on the floor. Harry quickly knelt down besides Mary-Claire and asked her if she was okay? Mary-Claire suck her head and Harry quickly got Mary-Claire back onto her feet where he sat her down and checked her over.
Colette had heard what had happened as Raf came running to find her as soon as she got back to her feet. Colette came over to Mary-Claire who was now sitting at the Nursing station rubbing her bump, Colette approaches Mary-Claire and says "Are you okay darling I heard what happened, Is the baby ok?" Mary-Claire gave Colette a worried look and said "No I have felt my baby move since before I fell" Colette decided that she would check the baby before telling anyone so she took Mary-Claire into a side room that wasn't being used and scanned her stomach but before that Mary-Claire had to tell Harry what had happened and why.
Once Mary-Claire told Harry what happened she gave Harry the same worried look she gave Colette earlier and then said "Harry I think I have lost the baby, the baby hasn't moved since I fell, Oh my gosh I have killed it haven't I?" Harry tried to calm Mary-Claire down by giving her a hug and told her that Colette was going to give her a scan to see if the baby is still alive.
Mary-Claire walked with Colette and Harry down to maternity to get a scan done as when Colette went to see if the side room was free there was a burns patient in there. When Mary-Claire got down to the maternity ward she was called straight into the room where the ultrasound machine was, It was Mary-Claire's first time having a proper ultrasound and was yet to see her baby on the screen and have it printed off. The nurse rolled up Mary-Claire's top to revile a very prefect bump, Harry was mesmerised by how perfect Mary-Claire's baby bump was and said to her "Your beautiful" Mary-Claire smiled at him and picked up his hand and held it before saying "You said that to me the night this one was created so don't start I don't want to end up with twins."
The nurse placed the probe onto Mary-Claire's stomach and showed her the picture of her baby on the screen, Both Harry and Mary-Claire were mesmerised by the baby scan they could see their son or daughter for the first time in forever. Then the nurse reviled the moment of truth when she listened for a heartbeat, Mary-Claire gave a sigh as when the nurse found a heartbeat Mary-Claire turned to Harry and said "Oh my life I didn't kill our baby then, thank god !" The nurse smiled at Mary-Claire and said "Would you like to know what you are having?" Mary-Claire looked at Harry and they both nodded "right let me see" The nurse paced the probe back on Mary-Claire's bump and the said "come on you move your leg so your Mummy and Daddy can see what gender you are... I am sorry I cannot tell today your baby must be sleeping sorry, but not long left until you know anyway"
Once the nurse had finished checking the baby over she printed a picture of the baby off and handed it to Mary-Claire and said "We will need to see you again when you go into labour, and then we will discuss your birth options" Mary-Claire gave the nurse a quick nod before getting off the bed and heading out with Harry.
Harry gave Colette a quick nod to say everything was okay and she hadn't harmed the baby at all. Mary-Claire was know at rest about her baby and found out that the baby was just sleeping, At the end of her shift Mary-Claire went home alone as Harry had to work extra hours for some reason, When she arrived home she decided that she would have to make room for the new baby but she had to start by cleaning out the spear bedroom that only her cat had ever slept in.
