"So now I have my two favourite women to look after" Don said when he saw Jess and Hannah sat on the sofa. Hannah was clutching onto her stomach which sometimes gave her pain but she refused to let it get to her. Being her father's daughter too much which was normally a strength but it could sometimes be a weakness, especially when she was too stubborn to admit to pain in her body.

"Hardly" Jess snorted "just because I've gone onto maternity leave doesn't mean I am incapable of doing anything"

"And just because I was stabbed" Hannah replied "doesn't mean I can't look after myself"

Don placed his hands onto his hips, looking down onto the two stubborn women, realising that he often wondered why he argued with them.

"You" he pointed at Jess "I can't boss around because you're my wife and I know you're still capable of doing things...nothing too strenuous mind" he raised a claiming hand and she rolled her eyes at him.

"But" Don pointed at his daughter "you're not to do anything at all"

"What?" she snapped "I'm fine"

"You're not yet" Don replied quickly back to her "and I can still boss you around because you're my daughter"

"But it doesn't hurt" she replied back to him and he shook his head;

"So why are you holding onto your stomach and wincing slightly?"

"Because I am?"

"Because it hurts" Don clarified "you're a terrible liar"

...

"You okay?" Don checked with Jess when he walked out the hospital with her. He had left Mark in charge of Hannah for the afternoon whilst they went for another check up on the baby and once again, everything was going to be fine with certain luck.

"I'm fine" she said, waddling beside him, fed up of being fat and not being able to wait to get the baby out of her body.

"Okay then" Don said and opened the car door for her, allowing her to slide in and settle down, grasping onto her stomach for a moment.

"I can't believe it is going to be the day soon" Jess sighed loudly "it seems to have come so quick"

"Hasn't it just?" Don murmured, starting his car up and beginning to drive "and Mark has finished painting the nursery today...Hannah said she would help but he simply told her not to be so stupid"

"Poor girl" Jess sighed once "she's probably going mad, being stuck in that house and not being able to go into college"

"I did get her some work sent home" Don said "but I don't want her doing too much that could be classed as strenuous"

"She'll be fine" Jess shrugged off "it's been a month and a bit Don...she's going to be okay by doing work...it's not like she's rushing around the ER"

"She's excited for that moment" Don said and went silent whilst Jess simply just looked at him;

"And you're not?"

"I'm worried that she may not be able to cope with it" Don admitted "Emily struggled sometimes...and the loss of her first patient was hard on her...I just don't want Hannah to go through that just yet"

"It comes with the job Don" Jess whispered "and she'll be able to handle it"

...

Jess stood in the kitchen as she watched Hannah on her crutches, moving into the kitchen. Don had gone out and Mark had gone to work and so that left the two women at home in each other's company.

"Hey honey" Jess said, moving about, pulling out ingredients from cupboards whilst Hannah took a seat on the bar stool, looking over at Jess.

"Hey" she said back "what you doing?"

"Preparing tea for when your dad comes home" she said and pulled out pots and pans "is Mark coming over tonight?"

"No" Hannah said "he's busy on a case which could help impress his boss or make him look a complete fool apparently"

"He'll do fine" Jess shrugged off "he's a brain box anyway"

"True" Hannah replied and then she noted Jess change her posture. Hannah raised a brow at the woman and concern entered her face as she looked down to the floor where Jess was looking and she shook her head;

"It can't be" Hannah managed to say and Jess simply just looked into the teens eyes "you're weeks early"

"I think it is" Jess said "my...it just broke Hannah...my water"
