Teenage Dream

Chapter 2

...

"You keep telling yourself that Naylor! I know your secretly excited about going to a Katy Perry concert!" Jonny said, before kissing Jac passionately on the lips,

"Bore off Jonny!" She replied sarcastically smiling, before they both continued walking down the corridor back to the ward to collect their things...

10 minutes later, Jac and Jonny came bursting through the locker room doors, armed with their bags and phones in hand, before trudging down to the nursery, located next to Paeds, to collect Emma...

...

Jac and Jonny had just arrived at nursery doors, taking a glance through the doors first before they enter and collect their little girl, as they looked through they saw Emma laying in a bright pink bouncer, with an array of brightly coloured plastic toys, lifting her arms up and hitting them against the toys to make them move and making little giggles as they moved. They stood there, smiling to themselves, their faces gleaming with pride as they watched their daughter play, before entering through the door.

As they walked through the door, their presence was soon noticed by Emma's key worker, who was sitting beside her with another young tot,

"Good evening Ms Naylor and Mr Maconie, how are you?" The young looking nursery nurse said to the couple as she picked up Emma and passed her over to her mother.

"We are good thank you, How's my wee princess been? Have you been a good girl while mummy and daddy have been working?" Jonny said, making silly sounds to his daughter, which made Jac, the nursery nurse and Emma laugh.

"She's been fantastic, eaten everything, she had some porridge for breakfast, cheesy mash potato and beans for lunch and vegetable soup for tea, she's had 3 wet nappies and a soiled nappy and two 1 hours naps" the nursery worker said, confidently despite most people warning her about Jac's feisty side.

"That brilliant! A very busy day then Emma! Shall we go home and watch daddy try and look smart and buy tickets!" Jac said, in a high pitch voice, making Emma grin, whilst Jonny screwed his face up,

"Thank you very much, see you tomorrow!" Jonny added, picking up Emma's bag and coat, before holding the door open for Jac and Emma.

Jac's flat...

After debating on who should drive home that night, Jac, Jonny and Emma finally arrived home, their days clearly catching up on them as they all struggled to keep their eyes open. Jac turned the key in the lock and opened the door, revealing the dark room that they had left that very morning, they both dumped their coats and bags neatly on the hooks behind the door, Jonny then took Emma's coat and rested it over his.

"Right my wee one, let's get you fed, bathed and bed! Daddy cannot wait to spend the afternoon with you tomorrow, maybe we could pick a few things up while we are in town" Jonny said, lovingly to his daughter, as Jac prepared them something to eat.

30 minutes later, the couple had finally settled down for the night, managing to feed, bath and get Emma to sleep in record timing,

"Ahh what a day ah?" Jonny sighed, wrapping his arm around Jac's shoulders and pulling her closer.

"Tell me about it! Now I think, if we are going to go to these concerts your on about, we may need to actually book the tickets!" Jac said, a little sarcastically as she looked up at Jonny.

"Okay, let me grab my iPad and we will have a wee look on some ticket websites" Jonny answered, leaning forward to grab his tablet from his leather bag, before returning back to where he was.

"Right what sort of bands do you like?" He added, typing in the website address that he needed to go on,

"Erm... The foo fighters, pink, the killers..." Jac replied, thinking about the art of music she liked to listen to when she's in theatre. Jonny sat there typing away the artists that she was saying, hoping that there was somewhere close to them that they were playing at.

"Right, how about we both choose one concert each that we want to go to? I choose the Katy Perry one, what about you?" Jonny asked, looking over to Jac, who's eyes were fixed on the screen.

"Yes, I'll choose the foo fighters then... Look they're playing in London on the 30th, it's either that or we go down to Birmingham?" Jac said, looking at the different dates.

"I'll see what I can do sweet heart!" Jonny said, kissing her on the cheek before continuing his search on the internet.

15 minutes later, all tickets and venues were sorted out for their little adventures, so to speak. Jonny was like a kid in a candy shop, getting all excited and overwhelmed that he was going to gigs again, like he did when he was younger. Whereas Jac was cool and collected, not showing one ounce of excitement for experiencing her first gig, although she was excited inside.

The couple had now settled down for the night, sticking on 'Mamma Mia' as Jonny insisted, although he knew how much Jac disliked the film.

"What have I told you about singing the songs? I don't want Emma to wake up to this racket!" Jac joked, jabbing him in the side to make him stop.

"Hey, what's wrong with my singing? I could give Pierce Brosnan a run for his money in this movie!" Jonny replied, smiling and trying to look manly.

"You keep telling yourself that Maconie! Anyway are you picking Emma up from nursery tomorrow?" Jac said, getting herself comfortable again.

"Yeah, I'll probably get her about 2 ish and take her into town, I've seen some shoes and clothes I want to get her!" Jonny said, sounding all excited for some 'Daddy and Daughter' time as he called it.

"Ok, I'm finishing early tomorrow anyway, probably about 4 depending on my theatre list, we could meet in town and have tea out if you want to?" Jac suggested, not taking her eyes off of the screen as she finally got into the movie, much to her annoyance.

"Aye can do, we could do with doing the weekly shop tomorrow, we are running out of everything with Emma now! I don't know where she gets her appetite from" Jonny said, chuckling to himself.

"I know where she gets it from! And I'd rather her have a good appetite than no appetite at all!" Jac said, staring at Jonny, raising her eye brows as she did so.

"I'm a growing boy! I need my food! And true least she's not a picky eater" Jonny replied trying to hide the fact that he ate everything and anything, before they both continued watching the film and going to bed...
