' So Jac, you and Joseph Byrne are hitting it off' Greg exclaimed as Jac walked around the desk.

' Yes Greg that's correct, got a problem?' Jac snapped.

'Woah Jac calm it'

' Greg ever heard of a j-o-k-e?' Jac said sarcastically

' Oh yes I have actually, but that didn't sound like a joke'

' haha very funny Greg, yeah we're are dating' Jac couldn't help but smile when we said that, She was Joseph were together.

' Well I don't say this often but I'm happy for you' Greg smiled.

Jac nodded and out her thumbs up, as soon as she told Greg she knew that within half an hour the news of her and Joseph's relationship would be across the hospital and she was right. Whenever she went staff was making that same hand heart as Greg was. Jac found it funny, and got it with her work, a heart bypass, abdominal hernia.. nothing new.

' Ms Naylor, word on the street is that you and Joseph Byrne' Henrik Hanssen mummered in his croaky deep voice.

' You heard correct then' Jac replied, same old story. She had been saying this most of the day.

' Hope it doesn't intervene with your work reputation'

' No Hanssen it wont, my work and personal life are separate'

' Good ms Naylor, don't forget your Tumour operation today, I will be in there supervising while Michael Spence will be giving you a hand'

' Michael Spence? Really? I'm sure I can do this alone' she speculated

' Michael Spence is giving you a hand end of.'

Jac groaned and walked off, she knew she could perform this operation well without having to have Spence assist her, he would just go on telling Jac his problems he was having with his wife Anneliese and the fact that she is sleeping with Ric griffin. Personally, Jac couldn't care less about his problems. She wanted to focus on that point of her future with Joseph. Of course when we was at work she had to put them thoughts aside and focus on the patients.
Off trotted Jac towards to the theatre reading for her tumour operation.

While completing the operation the hot topic that was hotting up in the theatre was the relationship of Jac and Joseph.

' So Naylor, you bagged yourself another Byrne.. well done you' Joseph said sarcastically

'what a way to put it Michael'

' So is this serious? I take it Faye knows? Otherwise you wouldn't be hugging in the ward' Spence asked

' How do you know that?'

' I have my sources'

' If you must know, it is serious.. serious as in we're having a baby'

Michael dropped the scalpel and stared up at Jac. Luckily Hanssen had changed his mind and didn't supervise the operation.

' You being serious? How can you, the child hater of the staff be pregnant?'

' Thanks for that Michael, and yes I'm being serious, I'm not sick like Faye and pretend to be pregnant'

'But Jac why would you want a baby, don't you remember when Sahira brought Harry in? Or even when Chrissie was carrying Daniel and she had a contraction. You just walked away... how are you going to cope with a baby?' Michael said, he was very concerned about Jac.

' Michael, you may not think I'm capable because I'm seen as the evil Macbeth but I honestly think that I'm ready, I'm not getting any younger and I've realised that there more to life then work.' Jac replied.

'Jac your not the evil Macbeth, I just don't want to see you making the same mistake, me and Anneliese made. I have experience, my girls and little boy are my whole world. However, I believe we rushed into having them. Me and Anneliese had only been together 5 weeks and she fell. Jac, I care about you and Joseph... just don't rush into anything your going to regret' Spence explained as he carried on with the operation.

Jac didn't think that Michael had cared so much about her, they never saw eye to eye infact, they had a bit of a 'fling'. Guess Michael still had a soft spot for her. Maybe Jac was rushing into things, Herself and Joseph were only together 3 weeks when they told Faye, the following week she discovered she was pregnant. Jac couldn't help but think that she was rushing into things, she was so in love with Joseph that maybe she was only have this child because it was want Joseph wanted and it made him happy. She couldn't do anything any more, she was starting to show.. she knew when she started to show then she wouldn't be able to to stop it, she did love her unborn baby, she wanted to have a family with Joseph.

' Michael thanks for that, I wont do anything I regret, I love Joseph and our unborn child. I'm not rushing into anything' Jac mumbled.

' If you need to talk I'm here, and I'm sure Sahira, Chrissie and everyone is behind you.. have you told anyone about the baby?'

' No not yet only you and Sahira , I went for a confirmation last night, I have my first scan next week, I will tell everyone next week'

Michael just smiled at Jac and they both got on with the operation. Jac felt happy, she knew now she had Michael behind her, although they weren't the best of friends due to their past. They both had put them behind them and are now friends, that what Jac need.

Jac went off to the locker room and started to change out of her uniform into her grey trousers, white blouse and yet again her Jimmy Choos. As she took her top of she noticed that her stomach was more rounder then usual. She was only 5 weeks, she couldn't be showing already. Jac just took a look at her stomach, and started to stroke her stomach. She slipped her clothes on noticing that her stomach was very obvious in this top. Jac shrugged her shoulders and walked out the locker rooms, reading for suspicions..

As she got out the locker room, she saw Joseph stood with Greg again.. but he wasn't due in work for another 5 hours.

' Joseph, what you doing here?' Jac questioned as she pondered over to him.

' I'm here to pick you both up'

' b-both?' Greg interrupted

Jac peered up to Joseph with a face that meant that she has to tell him now.

' Yes both, I'm pregnant' Jac blurted out.

Greg didn't know what to say next, he just stood looking at Jac, then Joseph and then back at Jac, he obviously was as surprised as Michael was in theatre. What was so surprising about Jac being pregnant? Well for starters Jac wasn't the type to be a mother, she hardly fell in love and when she did they would reject her, she didn't get on with children. She had changed, Joseph had changed her, yes she still had her stubborn side but she was ready to experience the next step of her life.

' so.. you. Jac Naylor, is going to be a mother?' Greg looked so confused

' yes Greg I'm having a baby. Want me to spell it out for you?' Jac laughed.

' well..um. Congratulations to you both'

'Thanks Greg, means a lot' Joseph replied

Joseph, Jac and Greg all smiled at each other. Joseph took hold of Jac's bag, held her hand and took her home. Jac was so grateful of Joseph, since finding out that they were going to be parents he has done everything for although Jac is a stubborn cow and likes doing this her way.

As they retreated back to the cosy warmth of Jac's house, Jac threw down her things and laid upon the sofa watching trashy American programmes, Joseph walked over towards Jac and joined her on the sofa, he was curled up behind her back with one arm underneath her neck and one hand on top of her stomach. Jac's hand found her way on top of his. This was her family, her Joseph and their child. It was to early to feel the baby move but Jac's stomach felt warm, it was like they could feel something.. a little someone
Jac could feel Joseph's head buried in her hair, times like this she treasured, just her and Joseph.

' 9 months from now we will be parents, a little us will be in our world.' Joseph said as he smiled.

'lets not rush it Joseph. I mean, we're basically just getting used to the fact that we're together and we're having a baby' Jac explained

' You not happy then?' Joseph asked as he sat up.

' Of course I'm happy Joseph, I have you and our baby in my life. What more could I want?'

Joseph didn't reply, just simply laid back down and kissed Jac's smooth lips. Jac pulled away and nestled back in Joseph's arms as they cuddled down and watched television together before Jac prepared dinner for Sahira and James.

' I don't want to move' groaned Jac.

' Don't move then, stay with me, you know you want to' Joseph said as he pulled Jac down.

Jac started to laugh as she wriggled her way out of Joseph's arm. She needed to get on the dinner, but she would much rather stay with Joseph. She hoped that some way Sahira would 'bail' out on her. Jac's phone flashed with a message. Jac reached over to the table and picked it up. It was from Sahira. Part of Jac wished that this was the 'I'm sorry, cant make it text' . It read 'Hey Jac, going to be ten minutes late, don't cook.. me and James will pick up a curry on our way round, see you soon'

Jac smiled with relief ' It Sahira, her and James are going to be late so they will pick up a curry on their way through'

Joseph placed his hand on her hair, fiddling around with it. Jac couldn't help but laugh, she really had her life complete. She honestly couldn't wish for a better life at the moment, she had everything. A man, a child to be, true friends and great working staff. Jac Naylor had changed.

As Jac and Joseph retreated back to their cosy warmth of each others arms, they were disturbed by the door bell.. had 10 minutes gone already? Jac dragged herself away from Joseph who at this point was holding her arm, to pull her back down. Jac glanced down at him and laughed. He eventually let go allowing Jac to go and welcome Sahira and James.

' Oh hiya you two, thanks for coming' Jac smiled as she greeted the couple. The smell of Chinese bombarded her sense of smell.

' thanks for inviting us over Jac, it was a nice idea' Sahira said to Jac as she took the takeaway into the kitchen.

This was the first time that Joseph and James had met, they were sure to get on very well. Sahira and Jac stood in the kitchen over looking their partners who were laughing and joking over a game of football which was on the telly.

' Jac, your really starting to show now aren't you' Sahira said as she touched Jac's stomach.

' I know, I'm not even that far gone, is this what it was like with your boys?

The pair were now engrossed in a conversation about pregnancy.

' A little bit but I was 15 weeks when I started showing with Ben and with Harry I started to show a week before.. your really early to start showing Jac, nothing to worry about. Just looks like your going to have a very huge baby!' Sahira explained as she was dishing out the curry.

' I'm sure its nothing to worry about, I'm probably got a lot of fluid around the womb, when I go for a scan next week I can ask about it'.

As the pair walked over to the boys with the plates, Jac took a seat next to Joseph and Sahira sat down next to James. The topic which seemed to rule the conversation was football. Joseph supported Chelsea yet James supported Tottenham hot spurs. Wasn't a good combination when both teams were playing against each other as they spoke.

' Looks like we're going to be in silence for the evening while they go football crazy eh Jac?' Sahira joked.

' Mm looks like it' Jac smiled.

With that, Jac got a stabbing pain in her stomach, she placed one hand on her stomach and slowly breathed in and out, she had never experienced this sort of pain... it was like someone was constantly jarring a knife in her stomach and pushing it deeper.

' Jac are you OK?' James asked as Jac had painful look on her face.

' yeah, yeah, I'm fine just a little pain that's it nothing to worry about'

Jac carried on eating, knowing instead that It was more then just a little pain, something was going on. As they all finished their dinner, they sat down to watch television, Jac was within Joseph's arms and Sahira was within James. A typical double date situation.

Jac could feel a sense of pain making a return, she stood up and excused herself from the lounge, and made her way upstairs to the bathroom and slumped down leaning on the bath panel. She felt physically sick, her head was sweating and her stomach had been over taken by this stabbing feeling, Although she was a doctor herself, she couldn't quite understand what was happening. As she slowly breathed in and out trying to take the pain away, she felt her eyes starting roll, she had to reach to get a flannel but she was to weak to stand up, the pain was getting worse, she thought that she was suffering miscarriage but she knew the symptoms and signs for it and luckly she knew she wasn't having a miscarriage. Her emotions were running wild, she couldn't think what was happening to her. At this point the pain was getting to the stage of being unbearable, her hands were both upon her stomach, clenching it hoping the pain would die down. She needed to let Joseph know, or anyone. She put away her stubbornness and slowly stood up, she held on the door as she slowly walked out the bathroom. In her frail voice she called out 'Joseph' several times, he didn't replied. Her breathing was rapidly increasing, her heart was beating through her chest. She needed someone, Sahira, Joseph or even James just someone. She started to walk toward the stairs, she didn't make it. As she put her right leg forward, her knees gave way, she collapsed to the floor knocking her head on the banister leaving her unconscious and unattended. Sahira, Joseph and James were all down stairs laughing away at the telly unaware that Jac was unconscious and her pulse was decreasing
