Mo left the room, leaving Jac to rest. By now Jac is exhausted after the long day at work. It's around 11:45pm.
"Go and get me a bottle of water please." Jac asked with a slightly hoarse voice, Jonny could see the sides of her face were beginning to swell.
"There's a jug here."replied Jonny holding up a clean, full jug of water.
"Yeah but Ive seen who washes them up."
"Hey I wash them up sometimes!"
"Exactly." Jac replied sarcastically. She groaned quietly as her head was banging.
"Have you got a headache?"
"Yes." Jac whispered.
"Do you want something to eat from the-"
"No I'm not Hungry and I feel sick" Jac stated.
"Right, well I'm going to go and get to a saline bag and hook you up to it because your becoming dehydrated."
"How? I'm freezing and I haven't been to the toilet for ages?"
"Yes but you've been sick a lot recently and you haven't drank any water for ages and you're sweating profusely." Jac realise that she should have known that and felt rather stupid. "It's alright, you're not thinking properly. Hang on, have you taken your UTI antibiotics today?"
"Yes."
Jonny nodded and left, he soon returned with a saline bag and he inserted a canular into Jac's hand perfectly first time. Hooked up to saline, Jac raised her eyebrows.
"Oh don't look so surprised!"
"I'm not I'm impressed!" Stated Jac.
"Right well-" Jonny was interrupt as Mo walked in with Mr T. Jac immediately rolled her eyes at him.
"H-Hi. Um Miss Naylor, sorry um how are you feeling Miss Naylor?" Mr T walked into the room up the side of the bed, knocking over a equipment trolley with metal kidney dishes on, making a loud noise as he did so. Jac closed her eyes as the noise worsened her headache. "Sorry. I-I"
"Can you just do the ultrasound?" Jac snapped.
"Well we need to discuss some things first." Mr T blurted out as he nervously stood beside the ice queen.
"Such as?"
"Well have you had any... bleeding or abnormal discharge?" As mr T asked this, Mo couldn't help but be immature and giggle causing The Naylor defense system to be put into in place.
"You can go now Mo... Leave."
Finally, Mo left, slamming the door to cause Jac more pain.
"Right so have you... Had any bleeding or disch-"
"No" Jac interrupted.
"You sure?" Jonny butted in, knowing that Jac was now not in a good mood, he knew she wouldn't feel like talking or opening up.
"Yes I'm sure Nurse Maconie, actually would you like to wait outside as well?"
"Of course not sweetheart" Jonny managed to say that with a blank face, though inside he was itching to laugh too.
"Carry on then." Jac demanded.
"Right um, this is just in general so I can get an overview of how the pregnancy is going so far, have you experienced any morning sickness?"
Abruptly, a strip of pain hit Jac's stomach, cause her to bend forward on the bed and let out a yelp. Jonny placed one hand on her back and the other on top of her hand which was currently pushing down on her abdomen. Sensing that she was in too much pain to talk, Jonny answered for her : "Yes she has, quite a lot and it hasn't really stuck to just the morning either."
Jac slowly lied back down on the bed, but this time faced away from Mr T and looked towards Jonny, her knees curled up to her chest.
"Right okay well that is perfectly normal um, but don't worry it should last much longer because nausea usually passes after 13 or 14 weeks. Um, how often have the abdominal pains been occurring?" Mr T asked to Jac's back.
Jonny looked down to see Jac's eyelids slowly falling so he stroked her arm and once again answered for her. "Several times a day, they tend to get more frequent in the night, it's so bad that it keeps her up half the night, then she keeps me up!"
"Right um, do you know what, if any, pain medication she is on?"
"As far as I know, she's only been taking paracetamol. I've told her to take something stronger but she doesn't want to risk it because the painkillers that she was prescribed before she was pregnant cant be taken during pregnancy.
"Yes well, when I told her she was pregnant," began Mr T, who was more comfortable now that Jac was asleep. "I told her we needed to make an appointment to discuss pain relief, but every time I organised a meeting, she missed it."
Jonny smiled. "Why doesn't that surprise me?!" He joked quietly. By now, Jac was fast asleep, she always looks so peaceful when she sleeps to Jonny because she can't shout or moan, and she isn't in loads of pain.
"Just one other thing, has she been taking her UTI medication and has she still been experiencing symptoms of the infection?"
"Yes she's been taking her medication. But um, I'm not sure, I mean she has got a fever, but that's probably due to the mumps. Erm, she has had sudden urges to go to the bathroom I suppose." Jonny smirked as he remembered when she nearly wet herself as he squeezed her tightly. "And of course she's had lower abdo pain but we can't be sure whether that is caused by the endo or the UTI." Jonny explained.
"Right well, I think we can do the ultrasound now. Um, can you wake her please?" Asked Mr T bringing the ultrasound trolley closer towards the bed.
"Yeah sure. Jac? Jac?" He whispered quietly. He tried rubbing her arm gently, but that had no effect. "Jac sweetheart wake up." He said. Louder this time. Jac stirred in her sleep and she began to come round.
"Wh-what?" Jac began to open her eyes slightly but lied in the same position before closing her eyes again.
"Hang on a minute." Jonny said as he walked out onto the ward. He was glad that Mo was on a night shift as he motioned over to her to come into the bay. Mo walked in. "Mo, doesn't she seem a bit groggy to you. She's pretty unresponsive" explained Jonny who's concern was growing.
"How long has she been asleep?" Mo asked.
"Erm, around 10 or 15 minutes." Jonny answered quickly.
"Mm, she does seemed confused." Mo placed a thermometer into Jac's ear. "Right it's 37.8 she's overheating. Get the sheets off of her. I'll get a fan and Jonny go the the store cupboard and get some burn gel packs." Jonny pulled the cover off of her. Her face, previously buried under the covers, was now fully visible. It was blotchy and sweaty. Every now and then, her eyelids would flutter.
Jonny ran out to get the gel packs and Mo got the fan from the staff room. Mr T just stood next to Jac's bed and didn't want to interfere because Miss Naylor would probably get mad with him.
Two minutes later, Jac had a fan on her, gel packs on her skin and Jonny poured her a glass of cold water, not that she was able to drink it.
"Jac? Jac?" He began to panic at her lack of response.
"Jonny Mac, calm down it will take a little while for..." Mo became distracted as she looked at Jac's legs.
"Mo?"
"Jonny, look." Mo answered as she pointed to the top of her legs. There were a few spots of blood, red blood, on her grey work trousers (she refused to wear a gown earlier.) Jonny began to panic. He must've missed it when he first took the covers off because he was in a rush.
Elliot walked up into the bay, unaware of what is going on. He saw Jac's trousers and sighed.
"Mr T?" Mo asked trying to reassure Jonny it's was okay.
"Right well hm, um I suppose we should do the ultrasound now. Okay?"
"Yeah, yeah sure." Jonny answered quickly. Sensing the Mr T would feel awkward doing so, and because Jonny seemed frozen, Mo slowly lifted Jac's shirt a few inches. Mr T gave Mo a paper towel to put in the top of her trousers. But Mo pulled a 'really?' And immediately handed it to Jonny. Jonny slowly inserted it into the top of her trousers.
"Right" Mr T said coughing before squeezing some gel onto Jac's stomach. Her face, still with her eyes closed, flinched slightly making Jonny calm a little and smirk. But he also saw the sweat still cause by the fever so he grabbed a paper towel and patted her forehead.
"It could be something or nothing. I mean spotting is quite uncommon at this stage in her pregnancy." Mr T stopped as he saw the concern on Jonny's face. "But I mean, it's not unheard of, I mean it does happen. Sometimes."
As Mr T placed the probe on Jac's stomach, Mo grabbed Jonny's hand.
"I'm sure it's okay Jonny, it's only a few spots and look she's cooling down, she should wake up soon." Said an optimistic Mo pointing with the other hand at Jac's face which had become considerably less blotchy.
"Mo's right, the temperature is only that high because its caused by a combination of the UTI AND the mumps. When she cools down she'll become more responsive."
"Mr Thompson's right Jonny, it'll be okay." Elliot chipped in.
Jonny, Mo and Mr T all looked at the screen apprehensively.
