It had been two weeks since Jac had collapsed and found herself being pregnant with twins. Each day Jac and Joseph became more relaxed with their change of lifestyle. Being pregnant had taken its toll on poor Jac, she didn't show it to Joseph or anyone, she just put on her same old stubborn face and got on with her day. The morning sickness had arrived yet, but she knew that soon enough she would be accompanied by it. Jac was reaching her 3 month of pregnancy, and already she was showing quite a lot. Everyone at Holby was aware of Jac's condition, they started being nice to her, and she was to them. Connie had made a few visits to Holby mainly to see Jac. Jac and Connie we're becoming friends, they would go out and talk babies. Not to forget Sahira, Sahira would meet up with them both. The three of them would chat about work and children. At times Connie and Sahira brought along their children so Jac would get used to the idea of being around children. Jac and Joseph had decided on Godparents for the twins, so far they had decided on Sahira,James,Connie and Michael. They thought that these people would be the best influences on their children.
Jac was running late for work, She had to be in at work by ten to 9. However she was still at home at 9, none of her clothes would fit her, they were either to tight or the zip broke. By the time she had found some clothes that had fit her she wasn't in the best of moods. So, off she went to work in a foul mood. As Jac stepped out the elevator, she realised that the ward was completely empty, no staff. There were patients in each bed but no Elizabeth, Sacha or Chrissie.
'Hello? Anyone here?' Jac shouted, her voice echoed through the ward.
She Carefully sat down in chair and replaced her Jimmy Choos with her black pimps before carrying on her search for the staff. Jac stood up resting on hand on her stomach and walked around the ward. She then walked toward the staff room. She glared through the windows from a distance just noticing someone hair. With a look of confusion upon her face, she strutted into the staff room.
' SURPRISE' A chorus of voices echoed through the staffroom.
Jac was shocked, she hated surprises. She stared around the room to find everyone stood there; Ric, Chrissie, Dan,Sahira,Greg, Fredia, Oliver you name them, they were there even Connie. Jac looked up at the Banner which was hung over the window. It read ' Parent's to be Jac and Joseph CONGRATULATIONS'. Jac couldn't help but smile, For once the staff were being nice to her. They all seem genuinely happy for them both.
' Congratulations Jac, best of luck girl' Connie smiled as she wondered up to her friend, handing her a small gift then hugging Jac.
'Jac Naylor, mother to be, I'd never of guessed it. Congratulations' Ric Joke as he too handed Jac a small gift.
One by one, they came up to Jac handing her presents, cards and their best wishes. Jac was overjoyed about the amount of best wishes she was receiving despite her being the cold heartless cow of the team. One thing was missing.. Joseph wasn't there to share this lovely moment with her.
Jac was about to surprised once again. As Jac was talking amongst the crowd ,she saw Sahira and Connie point behind her. Jac had a look of confusion upon her face. She then looked around to see what everyone was fussing about. The she realised why.
Joseph was wearing a black tuxedo completed with a white tie. He was knelt on one knee holding one single red rose. Jac gasped at the sight.
' Jac Naylor, your the only person that I want to grow old with, the fact that your carrying my twins, has made me fall for you even more. So. Would you put your stubbornness and your Ice Queen title aside for one moment and marry me?'
Jac's emotions were at this moment, running wild. She was shocked. Everything was happening so fast, She loved Joseph she did. He was the only man she wanted to stay with forever. She started to blush, her cheeks were going red, which was a difference to her normal pale skin. She heard everyone who was in the room gasp and giggle to themselves.
Jac struggled to get her words out, she wanted to say yes. But when she opened her mouth, it was silent. After a little time, the words flew straight out her mouth
' Of course I will you silly bugger' Jac laughed
Joseph carefully took the ring out of its box and slipped it onto Jac's pale fingers before standing up and pulling his fiancée in closer. They both leaned in for a kiss. A kiss that was filled with passion, love and desire. Without noticing, Connie had opened the champagne and everyone was toasting to them both. Jac pulled away and nestled hair within Joseph's chest. For the first time, she didn't feel broken or unloved, she felt like someone wanted her..
'Jac, Joseph. Congratulations guys' A pleased Michael said as she came over, and placed his arms around them both.
' But Naylor, This means no day dreaming about lover boy over here when we're in theatre' Michael joked. His American accent seem to make everyone chuckle.
'Don t worry, this isn't going to interrupt with my ego' Jac exclaimed
Michael winked at Jac and walked off, leaving Jac and Joseph to join in with the toast.
' Joseph, we want to say thank you. You have totally transformed Jac, Best of wishes to you both' Connie said as she raised her glass and smiled
Jac and Joseph both knew that they had the blessing of the team at Holby, Jac knew that everything was looking for in life she had. She was so ever grateful.
' Thanks Guys' Jac said as she smiled as everyone.
' DOES THAT MEAN I CAN BE GODPARENT?' Michael Shouted from the back, making everyone laugh
' We'll have to see Michael' Joseph laughed as he walked towards the guys.
Jac was engrossed with a conversation with the girls about names, of course they would be. Jac was only 3 months, she felt like she had to get everything done straight away.. like the woman she is. Where-as Joseph and the boys were talking about football and boy stuff, clearly not excited about the fact that he is becoming a dad and just proposed to Jac.
For the next half an hour, everyone was laughing and cracking jokes in the staff room, totally forgetting the patients. Michael had the room is laughter, telling his stories about being in guides when he lived in America, Sacha and Chrissie were telling how they felt when Daniel was born. Oliver and Fredia were making impressions of each other. Connie and Chrissie were acting out the day when Connie gave birth to Grace Before they new it they had totally destroyed three bottle of champagnes, however for Jac she was emptying the content of the orange juice. It was obvious that Greg and Sahira were tipsy, they couldn't walk in a straight line, let alone perform surgery together later in the day. Jac really felt like she had some true friends, although she wasn't their favourite colleague they all seemed to put their differences aside and enjoy this one afternoon together.
' Maybe its time to get back to work before Hanssen asks questions' Elizabeth wisely said.
' I suppose we need to get Sahira and Greg sober up' Joseph suggested
Michael put his hands around Greg and Sahira and pushed them towards the locker room, one by one they all left the staff room and returned to their work. Apart from Jac and Joseph, they simply sat down on the coach and cuddled up to one another. Joseph's hand found it's way to Jac's ever growing stomach. He started to kiss Jac's neck making her cringe!
'Guess I better carry on working, I'll see you later yeah?' Jac mummered a she felt Joseph's hand rub across her stomach.
' yeah I'll come and find you after I've finished up at AAU!'
Joseph then stood up, pulling Jac up with him, His hand was still upon her stomach, they shared their last passionate kiss for a few hours, Joseph didn't want to leave Jac, but he would certainly get it off Hanssen. Joseph pulled away before giving Jac another kiss but this time on her forehead. He then tore himself away from Jac and made his way to AAU
Jac then made her way of the staff room, with her hand upon her stomach and carried on with treating patients as if nothing ever happened..
