I know I've just uploaded a chapter but this is to make up for me maybe not updating tomorrow. Its quite short so I apoligise but I hope you do enjoy it and I hope that this is good enough for all the Joliver shippers! :) x


Chapter 5: Farewell Valentine

Sat at the Nurses station on Darwin was Oliver. With Tara on her day off, Mo and Elliott in theatre and Jonny at home, he was becoming increasingly bored by the second. There'd been no new admissions, all electives were going to plan and the day had been dragging on.

After thinking back to the recent behaviour of his colleagues, Oliver decided to check up on Jonny's recent medical history. Nothing, last time he'd been in hospital he was in his 20s and had gotten into a drunken fight, landing him in the ED.

Realising how much he enjoyed being nosy, Oliver began to dig up Mo's medical past. She'd given birth last year, she'd broken her arm aged 9 and she'd had her Appendix removed age 16.

After reading about Elliott's Angina, Oliver proceeded onto my history. He read through the most recent notes in absolute shock. Once he'd done, he ran to the office where he found me. I was asleep.

"Jac? Jac are you alright?" He whispered, touching my arm gently.

I opened her eyes slowly, moaning as the brightness of the room nearly blinded me. As my eyes adjusted to my surroundings I saw the figure of a man standing over me. Jonny? I thought, hoping it was him. But I was hugely disappointed when I realised that it was Oliver.

"Sorry, I was just umm..." I mumbled.

"Sleeping?" He joked. "Jac, are you alright? You do realise that you shouldn't even be here right."

"What?" I asked sternly, his comment waking me up completely.

"I know." He said, hoping that I'd stop being difficult.

"How do you know?" I replied quickly, my voice shaking slightly and my eyes glaring at him.

"It doesn't matter, I'm so sorry. How are you feeling?" I asked, putting his hand on mine.

"Brilliant!"

"Jac, you shouldn't be working. When did you find out? Does Elliott know?"

"Yesterday and yes, Elliott and Hanssen are both aware. Today's my last day." I explained.

"But we'll still come visit you and say goodbye properly when the time comes." He said.

"Look, Oliver. I'm going to go away after this and I'm not coming back so when I say this is my last day I mean it." I told him nervously.

"But, I don't want to say goodbye, you were one of the first people I met when I came to the hospital and you're one of the reasons why I'm such a good doctor. For so many years I've always thought that after everything, you and I would end up together. But-" Tears running down both of our cheeks. "I always loved you Jac!"

"Do you not think I love you too? But we can't. I'm dying and I love my husband more than anything." I whisperred before pulling his head towards me and kissing him softly on the lips. I hadn't kissed him in so long, it felt strange yet right. I did love him, maybe not as much as I loved Jonny but I did love her and nothing could change that. Both of us knew that this was probably going to be the last chance we'd get to do this so we made the most of our final kiss. As we pulled away from one another, I whispered "Farewell Valentine."

And with that I wiped away my tears and continued to put things right.
