Tuesday 10th December

8:30am

Mr T awoke to Mo singing in the shower which was positioned next door to their bedroom. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and then slowly sat up as he heard the shower click off and she stepped out of the cubicle. Minutes later, she came into their bedroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around her frame.

"You're in a better mood today." Mr T smiled sleepily.

"Have you looked outside?" Mo queried happily as she sorted out a change of clothes. Mr T groaned as he stretched before he climbed out of bed -letting the freezing air hit him- and made his way over to the window.

"Bloody hell!" He chuckled. There was snow everywhere! Everywhere was white, the trees, the ground, even the lake behind their lodge had frozen over and was dusted with snow. And with all of that snow, even more was still falling from the skies as it was blown to and fro by the winds. "So you're feeling alright now then?" He queried cautiously.

"Yeah yeah, I'm fine. Although, I wouldn't complain if you go and make me a nice cup of coffee so I can get changed." She fluttered her eyelids.

"One coffee, coming right up." Mr T stated before he left the bedroom.

Zosia also woke up feeling much better. She lifted her head off of her he pillow and looked over where the door had creaked to see her father standing there with two plates.

"Sausages, beans, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms and toast, all completely vegan of course." He announced as he handed Zosia a plate and then he sat on his is bed with his plate.

"Thank you." Zosia smiled before she dug in.

"Are you... Feeling okay now? No more cramps?" Guy asked cautiously and his daughter shook her head.

"I think I've finished." Zosia stated.

"Woah, way too much information." Guy protested.

"Trust me, I could've given you much more detail than that." Zosia stated smugly.

"Anyway," Guy began to change the subject, "judging by the lack of excitement, I'm guessing you haven't looked outside." He stated. Out of interest, Zosia placed her plate on her bedside table before she got up and looked out of the window.

"Wow, that looks pretty deep." She smiled before she got back into bed with her breakfast.

"You do remember out legendary snow ball fights right?" He queried.

"Of course, and I always won." Zosia stated.

"No you didn't!" Guy protested.

"Yes you did I always pelted you with snowballs and you were awful." Zosia stated.

"I wouldn't say 'awful'. I was a little rusty, but not that bad." Guy argued.

Jonny brushed the hair out of Jac's face in an attempt to wake her up because she was shivering. After her hot flush the previous night, she had fallen asleep -as instructed by Jonny- in just a pair of shorts and a bra, but because the flush had passed hours ago, she was then freezing cold. She barely even stirred so he tickled her nose with the ends of her long hair which made her face twitch before she opened her eyes. Thankfully, the room wasn't too bright as the only source of light was seeping through the curtains that had not yet been pulled because neither had gotten out of bed at that point- hence neither of them had seen the snow.

"Jesus Christ it's freezing." She whispered as she curled up as small as she can under the duvet.

"Come here." Jonny said softly as he pulled Jac into his arms. He rubbed his hand over her chilly, bare bump and nuzzled her hair as she tucked her head under his chin.

"Jonny..." Jac broke the comfortable silence. "Jonny why isn't she moving? She always kicks when I wake up." Jac said worriedly.

"Calm down, she's probably just a little cold like you." Jonny said as he tried to mask his own concern, though he was sure Jac was just worrying over nothing.

"But she isn't moving, Jonny what if she's-"

"Stop right there." Jonny ordered before Jac said a word that he never wanted to hear about his daughter. "C'mon, we can have a hot shower to warm up, and I'm sure she'll start kicking soon okay. She's probably just having a lie in." Jonny joked halfheartedly.

"This isn't funny." Jac protested.

"No, I know. Now you go and get ready and I'll get you a glass of orange juice, see if that gets her moving, you might just have low blood sugar, you haven't eaten since like 6pm yesterday." Jonny said quietly. He pecked Jac on the head before he left the bedroom to get her the sugary drink.

Ten minutes later, Jac had drank the whole glass of juice and then hopped in the shower with Jonny. He stood behind her, holding her bump for any signs of movement whilst Jac let the warm water stream onto her abdomen, hoping it would cause their baby to stir. She was almost close to tears at the thought of losing her baby so late into the pregnancy when she felt a little tug inside of her, followed by a little kick, precisely aimed at her father's hand.

"Oh my god! I felt her foot or her hand or whatever it was but I actually felt her!" Jonny smiled. He leant forward and kissed Jac on the cheek as she let out a sigh of relief, followed by a small laugh at how her baby was already tormenting her before she was even born- she was definitely Jac Naylor's daughter. And the baby certainly had Jonny's innocent, yet immature, child-like side to it.

But once he had leant forward, a certain part of his body touched her backside which caused her to groan in pain.

"Jac? Jac what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

"It was the fissure, you pushed against it." Jac replied after she took a few deep breaths.

"God sorry." He apologised sincerely as he placed his hands on her bum cheeks.

"Jonny!" Jac shrieked as she turned around to squirm her way out of his grasp. She looked into his eyes before she leant forward and gave him a passionate kiss. It slowly developed and progressed into a deep snog, they only separated briefly for air and Jac then took it a little further as she stroked and teased him. He certainly didn't have a problem with it, but he stopped when she went to put him inside of her.

"No, you know you can't." He said sternly.

"Jonny, one time isn't going to hurt, and I know you'll be gentle." She smiled seductivley.

"No, I'm not falling for that, Jac it's just your hormones. You know you don't really want to do it." He stated. "I'm sorry, but even if you want to, I can't, not if it could harm our little girl."

3pm

"Oh c'mon Jac, we need you to make the teams even." Jonny pleaded. All six of them were outside behind their lodge on the grass that backed onto the frozen lake and they were all wrapped up to keep them warm. They were going to play a 3 vs 3 snowball fight but unsurprisingly, Jac was refusing.

"No thanks." Jac smiled sarcastically as she folded her arms across her chest.

"To be honest, I'm not great with the cold anyway, I'm gonna go in with Jac." Mo admitted. She could see that Jac was clearly exhausted -presumably from a lack of sleep and because her baby was taking all of the nutrients from her- so she didn't want her doing anything she didn't want to do because she had been there already.

It had stopped snowing, and the snow was almost knee deep. They had watched the news, and Scotland certainly dealt with a little snow better than England. For one, the whole country didn't come to a standstill.

"Oh, you big spoilsports." Jonny moaned.

"Big?" Jac demanded.

"No no no no no no no I didn't mean it like that, I swear." Jonny said quickly.

"I'll be inside." Jac muttered before she turned around and began trudging through the snow, each footstep creating a crunching sound.

"Jac-" Jonny tried but she flipped her middle finger at him- the only swearing she could do without her little girl hearing- as she walked back to the lodge with Mo in tow.

"How is it, men always say the wrong thing?" Jonny laughed.

"Well that's not demeaning to women is it?" Zosia stated.

"See, wrong again!" Jonny huffed.

"Just so you know, I'm slightly better than your average 'girly' thrower." Zosia stated as she nodded to the snow.

"Right, how about Mr T and Zosia, vs me and Jonny?" Guy suggested to change the subject- his daughter was obviously having a mood swing because she had been a little snappy for most of the day despite the fact that she had claimed that she had finished menstruating. Mind you, to him, Zosia was always in a mood, he had just gotten used to it.

"Sounds perfect." Zosia smiled sarcastically.

"Fine with me." Mr T agreed and Jonny nodded in agreement.

"Right, the rule is, there are no rules... On your marks get set go!" Guy said quickly before he ran for shelter behind a picnic bench covered in snow which created the perfect fort. Jonny launched a poorly constructed fistful of snow at Mr T before he ran after Guy and sought refuge behind the snow covered bench. The snowball war commenced.

Zosia dragged Mr T with her behind a large oak tree trunk.

"Right, aim all your snowballs just below the chimney." Zosia ordered as she pointed to the lodge's slanted roof.

"Why?" Mr T queried.

"Just do it." She ordered before she began to throw her snowballs at one specific point on the roof.

"What on earth is she doing? I thought she said she's a good thrower." Jonny laughed as he watched Zosia throw snowballs out of their sight.

"I haven't a clue." Guy replied sheepishly. He knew she was up to something, but he hadn't yet worked it out. It was mere seconds later until he heard an odd sound, before the snow from the roof poured down onto him and Jonny. It took a good thirty seconds until the snow stopped falling and it settled, leaving Jonny and Guy buried under the snow with only their heads and parts of their shoulders sticking out of the mound of snow. Zosia just burst out laughing and Mr T smirked too.

"You little cow!" Guy proclaimed.

"What? You said no rules." Zosia stated innocently.

Jac wrapped a thick blanket around her and then she curled up in her arm chair and put the news on the TV to see how the snow was affected the rest of the country. Mo sat on the sofa, on the bit that was closest to Jac so that she wasn't too far away from her.

"Aren't you 36 weeks today?" Mo queried.

"Yep." Jac replied bluntly before she rubbed her hands together to warm herself up.

"Do you want a hot chocolate?" Mo asked kindly. "It's a galaxy one." She added.

"Um, yes please." Jac replied slowly.

"You want anything else? Something to eat or another jumper?" Mo asked as she got up, ready to head to the kitchen.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Jac asked.

"Because you're exhausted and I know what it's like." Mo replied before she entered the kitchen leaving Jac to ponder on the theory that maybe Mo actually was just genuinely being kind to her.

The two women had just finished their hot chocolates when Jonny poked his head around the door.

"Would you two ladies care to come and look out of the window?" He smiled.

"No thanks." Jac replied bluntly.

"Please, I promise you'll like it- well I hope you will anyway." Jonny pleaded. Jac huffed as she watched the enthusiastic Mo get off of the sofa with ease. Jac then heaved herself out of her armchair, and walked to the window whilst she kept her blanket wrapped around her to keep her warm.

"Oh my god..." Jac gasped before she broke into a wide grin. Outside the window where Jonny had just joined Zosia, Mr T and Guy were two snow people. One of which was made by Zosia and her father which was a simple three sphere snowman with Guy's scarf and hat on. The second was the one that caught Jac's eye the most.

It was a pregnant snow woman and it was ridiculously similar to Jac. They had her small hips at the right size, rounded breasts and a perfectly formed bump which was in proportion with the rest of it's body. Jac slipped her trainers on -but trod the backs down because she couldn't be bothered to bend down and put them on properly- and then went out into the cold where Jonny was beamingly pleased with himself.

"You even got her cheekbones!" Mo smiled as she joined the group.

"Although, the left breast is bigger than the right one." Jac stated awkwardly.

"Trust me, that wasn't intended." Jonny protested as he took something out of his pocket.

"Take that off." Jac ordered once Jonny had put on his thick, faux fur Russian hat.

"Make me." Jonny smirked. Jac rolled her eyes before she caught Jonny off guard, grabbed his hat and threw it as far as she could onto the frozen lake. "My hat!" He cried.

"We'll go and get it then." Jac smirked.

"Please don't be so stupid as to do what she says." Guy moaned.

"You think I'm stupid?" Jac mumbled eventually.

"No, I didn't... Jac I didn't mean that at all, honestly." Guy apologised awkwardly as he saw that the consultant was once again close to tears. He didn't know what to do because he'd never encountered the red head's emotions that badly before.

"I know what'll cheer you up, watch this." Jonny ordered as he ran over to the edge of the lake. Jac sniffed and tried to conceal the smile that was tugging at her lips because she knew he was going to attempt to get the hat.

"Is it cruel of me to want the ice to crack?" Zosia queried.

"On the contrary, him falling in would cheer everyone else up. It's just utilitarianism- make the majority of us happy." Guy replied cleverly.

Jonny put one foot on the icy lake. There was a slight crunch from the dusting of snow which was considerably shallower than the ground's snow because the lake had had to freeze over before the snow could settle.

Jonny tiptoed over to the hat as slowly as he could, carefully bent down and picked up the hat.

"He's gonna do it." Jac said disappointingly.

"I wouldn't be so sure." Mo said worriedly as they all heard a loud crack.

Zosia, Guy, Mo and Mr T were all seemingly apprehensive, but unsurprisingly, Jac looked extremely concerned.

"Jac?" Mo queried as the pregnant consultant took a step forward. "Jac, Jac no!" Mo ordered as she quickly caught up with Jac and held her back. "He'll be fine. He is fine." Mo stated and Jac shrugged Mo's arms off of her.

"And what if he gets hypothermic? Or what if he slips and hits his head on the ice?" Jac shrieked as her eyes welled up with tears.

"Jac, I'm fine. Don't worry." Jonny shouted back, although his heart was beating ten to the dozen. He wasn't the strongest swimmer and he was unsure of his next move. Because of the snow on the ice, he didn't know where the crack was, but he decided that because the route he had taken to get there had held his weight, he would take that one back. He carefully took one step forward, only it was the move, that was certainly a wrong one.

The ice cracked and he plummeted into the water causing some of it to overflow onto the top of the remaining ice, jeopardising it's stability even further.

"Jonny!" Jac cried as she tried to run to rescue him only Mo grabbed Jac and with great difficulty, she restrained the struggling consultant.

"Jac, if you jump in there, you'll lose your baby." Mo lied. She knew that a stern approach would be best to prevent Jac from saving Jonny because she knew that if Jac went -due to her sore back and large bump- it would probably be three lives that were lost in a short space of time. They all stood there watching as Jonny surfaced, all of them frozen from fear as he gasped for air and failed to grab the edge of the ice as his arm spasmed from the cold.

"I don't care, I can't live without him!" Jac cried as she tried to escape Mo's grasp, only this time, Mr T restrained Jac too and she ended up collapsing onto her knees in the snow and she brought Mo down with her.

"Shhshh." Mo shushed as she pulled the sobbing woman into her arms. Mo looked over Jac's shoulder to see Jonny struggling, but she herself couldn't swim so she couldn't help at all...

There's some Janny fluff and Zosia/Guy coming up in the next chapter :)
