8am
They were set to leave their lodge at 6pm and her a taxi to Aberdeen train station, where they would begin the agonisingly long journey back to Holby so Jonny and Jac were packing their bags so that they would be able to relax for the rest of the day, and they wouldn't have a last minute panic.
"Do you want my jumper for the train?" Jonny queried as he picked it up from Jac's pillow. Jac momentarily stopped packing as she nodded. "Okay." He smiled as he left it out for her. "You okay? you seem a little quiet today." Jonny said carefully.
"Why can't she stay in here forever?" Jac moaned quietly as she sat on the bed and cradled her bump. Jonny smiled as he sat next to her and then put his arm around her shoulders.
"You know the science as to why." Jonny stated. "And besides, we want to meet our little girl don't we." He added.
Midday
Mo and Mr T were packing their bags a little later because they had had a lie in, and Mr T found it funny that whenever he found something of Mo's in his wardrobe- which was actually quite common- he threw it across the room.
"And that's the second catapult." Mr T announced as he pinged one of Mo's bras across the room.
"Oi, how did you end up with that!?" Mo protested as she went across the room, grabbed the bra and then packed it in her suitcase that was open on the bed.
"I think that was after the other night of passion when Jonny was about to come in and you were in the shower, I panicked because our clothes were everywhere and scooped everything into the wardrobe." Mr T stated jokily. "Which would explain these." He stated as he pinged a pair of underwear over to Mo which she caught.
2pm
Guy had just finished packing his bag when he turned to look at his daughter who was fluttering her eyelashes at him.
"Would you like me to pack your suitcase for you?" He asked reluctantly.
"Well, seeing as you're offering." Zosia smiled.
"Fine." Guy huffed. He got Zosia's suitcase down from the top of her wardrobe and left it wide open on top of his bed as he folded her clothes from the wardrobe and neatly packed them. Once he'd finished with the clothes, he opened the draw at the bottom of the wardrobe and packed her pyjamas, when he came across an almost empty pack of pads, and a box of tampons. "Oh, lovely." Guy said sarcastically as he picked them up and put them in the pocked on the lid of the suitcase. "Wait, you don't want any of these in your handbag for the journey do you?" He queried.
"Nope." Zosia replied. "And as for your moaning, at least they're not used." She retorted.
"Don't, I don't even want that image in my head." He grimaced at the thought.
6:30pm
"You're in rooms 23, 24 and 25." The woman stated as she led the six through down the carriage to their rooms on the Caledonian Sleeper train which would take them all the way down to London Euston without having to switch trains.
"Thank you." Guy smiled before the woman left and the three pairs settled into their rooms.
Jonny placed his and Jac's suitcases under the beds to save room, and then he picked up his rucksack.
"Seeing as we only had a sandwich for dinner, I brought us a few snacks." Jonny smiled as he took out a tall flask with two plastic mugs on the top. "First course is hot chicken soup when you're hungry." He smiled.
"Um, just wait until the train starts moving and then we can have it." Jac stated as she sat on the bottom bunk and then ran her hands through her hair. Because the train journey was earlier than their one on the way there, Jac knew she wouldn't get as much asleep as she did last time, especially considering they would arrive in London at around 5:45am on Monday morning, and then typed need to catch another train from London to Holby.
Mr T shut the door behind him, and turned around to see that Mo had already laid down on the bottom bunk bed.
"Oh c'mon, I was on the top last time." Mr T moaned.
"Pft, that's what she said." Mo joked and both of them laughed a little. "Look just sleep on the bottom with me then." Mo suggested.
"That sounds fine to me." He smirked before he jumped onto the bed besides Mo and he then passionately kissed her with lust.
"Right, I suppose you'd better go on the bottom bunk eh." Guy sighed as he and his daughter entered their room.
"Oh, what a shame, I won't have to hit my head on the ceiling." Zosia said sarcastically as she sat herself down on her bed and then got her phone out of her handbag. "What time are we gonna be back at Holby station roughly?" She queried.
"Why?"
"I need to text Dom a rough time to pick me up." Zosia stated.
"Oh, don't worry about that, I can give you a lift." Guy stated.
"You sure?"
"Yes, of course I am. And hey, I've nearly managed two full weeks -as of midnight tonight- without eating any animal products." Guy stated proudly.
"Oh, my hero." Zosia said sarcastically.
Monday 16th December
1am
Jac and Jonny were laying on the bottom bunk in each other's arms as they tried to sleep, it was certainly harder than on the way there because they had been travelling after a long week at work, whereas that time, they were travelling after two weeks of relaxing. Jonny was gently rubbing his hands over Jac's bump because he just loved the feel of it. She still had his hoodie on, but he had slipped his hands under her clothes.
"Do you think a Nutella cookie would make you sleepy? I could sneak into Mo's room if you want one." Jonny queried.
"No, I think it would make me diabetic." Jac stated. She was obviously not in a good mood because she couldn't sleep despite how tired she was. Jonny just slipped his hands from her bump to her back, and have her a gentle massage in the hope that it would allow her to relax, and eventually fall asleep.
5:30am
Mo and Mr T's alarm went off yet both were still comfortably snuggled up in each other's arms in the bottom bunk without any clothes on, under the duvet. Mr T reached across and turned it off, only for Mo to snuggled back into his chest once more.
"Mo, we're gonna be there in fifteen minutes." Mr T stated.
"Mmmmm." Mo moaned before she rolled out of bed and onto her feet. She started dressing from the clothes that were scattered around the cabin before she chucked the boxers at her partner along with the rest of his clothes. "God I hate Mondays!" She proclaimed.
5:30am
Jonny had been awake for about ten minutes, but he felt that it would be best to wake Jac up at the latest time possible so he had waited until he could wait no more.
"Jac... Jac sweetheart, wakey wakey." Jonny said softly. As Jac woke, she twisted here head up to see Jonny smiling at her which instantly made her cheer up a little. "It's half five, we'll be at the station soon." Jonny stated.
"Mm, I'm hungry." Jac groaned as she stretched herself out before she shuffled to the edge of the small bed and carefully sat up without hitting her head on the bunk bed above. Jonny however showed no caution so he jumped up and whacked his head on the hard, wooden bunk. "You idiot." Jac laughed as she straightened out Jonny's hoodie that she had slept in.
"You want me to go and get some cookies from Mo? Then we can get something more substantial at the station." Jonny suggested.
"Yes please." Jac replied as she pulled her boots on with great effort. Jonny slipped his trainers on before he left the room.
5:40am
"Zosia, we're gonna be there any minute." Guy stated as he tried to get his daughter out of bed.
"I'm dressed, all I have to do is get out of bed and I'm ready." Zosia moaned before she placed a pillow on her face to blank her father.
"Right, have it your way." Guy muttered before he pulled the duvet off of his daughter so she curled up into a ball to conserve heat.
"Dad it's bloody freezing!" Zosia shrieked.
"Well get up, move about and warm up." Guy ordered. "But not too much because of you our ankle." He added coyly.
"I hate you." Zosia muttered before she slowly moved her feet over the side of the bed. She grimaced as the blood flow increased to her injured ankle, causing a throbbing pain, but she tolerated it by taking deep breaths.
5:45am
As everyone got off of the train with their suitcases being pulled behind them, they all followed Guy along the platform to a bench.
"Right, we've got about twenty minutes until our train leaves so I'm happy for you all to go and get something for breakfast if you want, I think there's a McDonalds just around the corner." He explained. "But meet back here by five to." He added.
A few minutes later, after Jac, Zosia, Jonny and Mo had used the bathroom, all six of them were in McDonalds at a table for six on stools. The three women were waiting at the table whilst the three men went to order, and Jac had asked for a rather large order. Mr T arrived back first with a bacon and egg McMuffin and an expresso for him and pancakes and syrup with a black coffee for Mo. Then Guy arrived with just an orange juice, a hash brown and a packet of grapes and apple for Zosia and a bacon roll and coffee for him- it was a Monday morning and he had lasted two weeks as a vegan so he was then allowed to eat animal products.
Finally, Jonny arrived back with a tray -not a bag like the others- with a big breakfast, an extra hash brown, a triple chocolate cookie and a hot chocolate for Jac, and a double bacon and egg McMuffin and a white tea for him. As Jonny placed the tray down on the table, he expected Jac to began frantically taking what was hers, instead she was sitting rather still and looking a little pale. He looked at the other four, and saw three coffees which he assumed was causing her nausea.
"Here, come and sit over here." Jonny said kindly as he quickly placed the tray on a table for two and then he went back and helped Jac to get down from the stool.
"Oh crap, I forgot about the coffee." Mo placed her hand over her mouth in regret as she didn't meant to cause a problem for the pregnant woman.
"Oh... So did I." Guy admitted quietly.
"Look, she's fine now." Zosia stated bluntly as they all looked over to see Jac as she opened her breakfast and then took a bite from her hash brown. Everyone smirked at how she could go from one thing to another so quickly.
The six walked over to their train whilst Guy finished off his coffee, and Jac began her second Hot chocolate. The doors were already opened so they jumped on to a fairly empty carriage. Jac, Jonny sat on one side of a booth with Mo and Mr T sat opposite them whilst Guy and Zosia sat in two chairs facing each other with a small table in between them and a spare seat besides each of them.
"Wanna play cards?" Guy queried.
"No, because I know you're gonna win." Zosia stated.
"Oh c'mon, for old times sakes? And I'll even go easy on you." Guy pleaded as he took out his pack of cards from his pocket which had the Scottish flag on the background.
"Fine." Zosia sighed. "But I'm not betting anything." She added as she sat forwards whilst her father shuffled the cards.
"Oh that's a shame, it'd be like taking candy from a limping baby." Guy smirked.
8:25am
Guy looked across the booth in the carriage that was pretty quiet. His daughter, despite his protests, had taken her shoes off and put her feet up on the chair besides her as she leant against the back of the seats. She had fallen asleep over an hour ago, and she didn't show any signs of arising from her deep slumber anytime soon.
"Zosia, we're nearly home sweetheart." Guy stated as he gave her shoulder a little shake before he went over to the booth of four where the others were all asleep. He looked at them and decided that the safest one to wake up was probably Jonny so he also gave his shoulder a little shake, and the nurse then opened his eyes and looked up at his boss without moving; Jac had fallen asleep with her head resting on Jonny's shoulder so he didn't want to wake her. "We're nearly there, literally a few minutes away so can you wake them up? Thanks." Guy said quietly before he went back and joined his daughter.
Jonny looked opposite him at his best friend and decided that he would have to give her a pretty loud earful because she was usually a heavy sleeper. But instead of shouting, he quickly kicked her in the shin and then closed his eyes and pretended that he was asleep. Almost a minute had passed when nothing had happened so he opened his eyes and she was still fast asleep so he kicked her harder, and that time she woke up.
"Ow! What the hell was that for?" She groaned as she brought her knee up to her chest and rubbed her shin.
"We're nearly there." Jonny stated. "Jac... Jac..." Jonny tried, but she wasn't waking. "There's no more Nutella cookies left." Jonny announced loudly and Jac shot up like a bullet. "Ah, nice of you to join us. Good morning." Jonny smiled.
"What?" Mr T croaked sleepily.
"We're nearly home." Mo stated and Jac closed her eyes again.
"Do you want me to carry you again?" Jonny joked.
"I just wanna sleep." Jac moaned.
"You can sleep when I take you home." Jonny stated. "And I'll even start to put the washing on for you. As long as I can work out how to use your washing machine." He smiled.
"Who said you were coming to my flat?" Jac raised an eyebrow.
"You, when I said I could move in with you." Jonny stated smugly.
"You two are moving in together? Congratulations!" Mo squealed.
"I meant what I said Jonny. I'm not living in a pigsty." Jac stated.
"And I mean it, when I say I love you. So I am more than willing to change to make you happy." Jonny stated and Mo and Mr T -who had also awoken- 'awed'.
"Well that wasn't cliched much." Jac said sarcastically.
"Come here." Jonny whispered as he pulled Jac into a kiss. Seconds passed before they deepened the kiss whilst Jonny caressed Jac's bump and Jac rested her hands on Jonny's cheeks.
"Ugh, get a carriage." Mo joked.
As the six walked off of the platform and into the car park, they all stopped for a final talk with Guy.
"Right, I know the lectures weren't exactly brilliant, but hopefully you've got a few ideas to improve the smooth running of our wards, and anything you want to enforce, just run by me and I'll see what we can do. Aside from that, I hope you've had a good time, and I'll see you all at work tomorrow." Guy explained. After a little chat, Guy and Zosia headed off to her dad's car, and Mo and Mr T jumped into one taxi, whilst Jac and Jonny got into another.
It was a short drive to the block of flats where Zosia lived and out of courtesy, Guy got out and took Zosia's suitcase out of the boot for her.
"I can manage from here thanks." Zosia smiled as she took the black case off of him and then pushed her handbag back onto her shoulder.
"Don't forget that if you're not in theatre tomorrow I will be chasing you down Zosia." Guy said sternly.
"Yeah yeah, thanks for the lift." Zosia replied as she limped to the entrance of the building.
"Why don't you run inside, get a few bits and then you can spend the night at mine?" Mo suggested as the taxi pulled up outside of a block of flats where Mr T lived.
"Um, yeah sure, that sounds great." He smiled before he ran inside. Five minutes later, he came out with a holdall and jumped back in the taxi before they headed to Mo's place.
Once Jac and Jonny arrived back at her flat, Jonny pulled both of their suitcases into her bedroom because she had almost fallen asleep in the taxi despite it only being a short journey.
"Right, I need to wash a set of clothes for work tomorrow." Jac muttered as she headed over to her suitcase but Jonny stopped her.
"Honestly, I mean what I said. Come and get into bed, and I'll wash and iron your clothes, and I'll do a bit of shopping too." Jonny said as he guided Jac over to her bed and pulled the duvet back. "And if you pass me my jumper, I'll have that washed by the time you wake up because I can imagine it's not as clean as it could be." Jonny phrased it carefully- Jac had been wearing his hoodie to bed for the past few nights, and for the last 12 hours on their journey, along with the few times that he had worn it before so he just wanted her to wear something fresh and clean.
"It doesn't need washing." Jac muttered as she sat down on the mattress.
"You and I both know it does. C'mon, here, wear this." Jonny said as he took her grey NHS hoodie out of her wardrobe.
"Considering that's a size 10, I don't think I'll fit in it now." Jac stated as she gestured her bump.
"Alright then, what do you want to wear other than the jumper?" Jonny asked as he tried to mask his frustration at her pickiness because showing it would only encourage her more.
"Just turn the heating on." Jac ordered as she pulled Jonny's jumper off, threw it at him and then got under the covers.
"Night night." Jonny smiled as he pecked Jac on the forehead, and then closed her curtains so she could get some well needed rest.
Thanks for reading, sorry the endings crap but I couldn't really think of anything else :/ Anyway, please give me a final review of what you think of this story :)
Also, this will be my last fanfiction because I really need to set at focussing on my GCSEs and I won't be using this website (no reading either) anymore because it takes up too much of my time. I'll miss this, but it's one of those things where I can't cut down, I need to cut it out of my life completely. Thank you to everyone who has ever read or reviewed my stories, goodbye xxx
