Pulling into his car parking space he turned off the engine and looked over at Louise smiling, "you ready" "as ready as I'll ever be" she replied. Nick took hold of her hand and kissed it, giving her a cheeky smirk he said "come on then Mrs Jordan", walking in together side by side, Nick went round one side of reception and Louise carried on towards where Noel and Kirsty were standing. Noel wanted her to sign something so she placed her things on the desk (at this point Nick was stood behind the desk also filling in paperwork), she placed her hand on the desk and just as she was writing looked up at Kirsty then quickly looked at her ring as if to say look what I've got, say something. "Oh my god" Kirsty screeched, Noel just stood there looking dumb as ever not having a clue what was going on. Louise was smiling and looking at Nick who was also smiling, Kirsty taking hold of Louise's hand, a few people had gathered round by now, she said "when did this happen?" Louise replied "last night, it was just out of the blue" then other people came over to look at her ring it became a right old mothers meeting with the crowd that was forming. "Okay people isn't there any patients that want seeing or are we all going to stand here gawping all day" Nick said moving towards Louise and the crowd. Louise just looked at Nick shaking her head, "what?...they needed telling, what kind of clinical lead would I be if a patient came in and saw them all stood round chatting?" he said, "okay I know, I best go before you take this off me" she said grinning. He smirked and shook his head before placing a kiss on her cheek, winking at her and saying "off you go then" smiling she picked up all her things and wandered off wiggling her bottom because she knew he was watching.
Later on Louise was having a cuppa in the staff room and Tess walked in "oh hi Lou I hear congratulations is in order" "oh yeah thanks" she replied, it fell silent for a minute while Tess went to make a cup of tea then all of a sudden with her back towards Louise she said "so when's it due" "huh?" she replied not fully hearing her. "When's the baby due" she asked again, "oh I'm not" before she could finish Tess turned around and raised her eyebrows at her stopping Louise in her tracks, "well you are, aren't you?" Louise trying not to smile put her head down looking at her mug, it went silence once more but she couldn't hide it forever, Tess was still stood there looking at her with her arms folded. Louise looked at her, smiled and said "how did you know?" "I've been doing this job many years now, I can tell the signs especially the ones where you've cut out the coffee and frequently going to toilet" she said smiling feeling quite happy with herself as she was right yet again. "Oh god is it that obvious" Louise said worryingly, "No don't worry, it's not, I've not known that long" she replied "ok thanks oh I'm 14 weeks by the way". Tess replied with an "aww" and tilting her head then asked how they both felt about it, Louise replied "I'm so happy and Nick is elated I've never seen someone so happy" she said with a smile.
At that minute Adam popped his head round and shouted they had a major call coming in so all hands to the deck, upon leaving Louise placed her hand on Tess's arm and said "please don't say anything, Nick and I aren't ready" she replied taking hold of her hand "of course I won't" and off they went, walking through the doors Nick was just passing her with a patient going into resus and gave her a cheeky wink which made me smile and get tingles all down the back of her neck, she loved it when he did that it made her feel like she was the only girl in the world.
End of shift came and Louise went up to Nick's office to see if he was ready, he was sat in his chair as per usual on his laptop, "hey you alright" he said, she replied "yeah you know me I'm always alright" as she walked round his desk he leant back in his chair. Looking at his screen expecting to see files and paperwork it didn't have any of that instead he was on a baby website looking at cots and pushchairs, Louise smiled placing her hand on his back and rubbing it "what you looking at" she asked, he replied "well I thought we should start buying things" she just smiled and sat on his knee wrapping her arms around his neck softly kissing him on the lips whilst Nick placed his hand on her stomach then something happened inside of her stomach it was a kind of flutter it made her pull back from kissing him, looking shocked she asked him "did you feel that?" smiling he said "yeah".
Sitting back for a minute Nick broke the silence "I've had an idea about telling people" oh yeah" she replied, "well I was thinking if we have an engagement party in around 2 weeks' time and tell everyone it would be the perfect opportunity" Louise smiled and agreed with his plan then said "oh by the way Tess knows" he looked at her with one of his looks "I thought we weren't going to tell anyone" "I didn't she guessed, she's noticed me popping to loo every 5 minutes and lack of coffee so" she stopped, shrugging her shoulders "there was nothing I could do I promise" he just smiled caressing her back and said "god I do love you" before placing a kiss on her forehead….
