Gordon trotted into the living room with his usual calm behaviour and aura about him. He smiled at the sight of Jill and Jonathan on the sofa together; it was what she was made for. He walked over to the side cabinet in the corner and started filling a small glass with brandy; for medicinal purposes of course.
'Do you want a glass of wine love?' he asked Jill quietly as he peered over his shoulder as her cradling Jonathan.
'No, no not for me thank you' she replied with a smile gracing her lips. Her repky was just as Gordon had suspected. Unlike the previous occasion he was now well and dully aware of his surroundings. He'd become aware of certain symptoms Jill had been displaying over the past couple of days, where as previously he'd been oblivious. But he'd wait for her to say something.
'Okay' Ormerod acknowledged 'I'm just going to finish some patients notes in the office. Shan't be long' the male Doctor picked up his glass and made for the door before Jill, through he power of words, made him stop.
'Gordon... Gordon there's something I need to tell you' her husband paused and turned around to face his wife.
'Jill, if you're about to tell me what I think you're about to tell me then I already know' beamed the dark haired fella as he sat himself down next to Jill. He placed his arm along the back of the sofa and looked Jill directly in the eyes.
'Wh-what do you mean?' Jill asked, taken a back
The morning sickness... the mixed emotions...-'
'I'm pregnant!' she added, finishing his sentence off.
Being the man he is Gordon didn't get excited about the fantastic news, instead he was more interested in his wife's feelings and how she felt about the news. 'And how do you feel about it?' came the question, placing a hand on Jill's shoulder.
'I don't know Gordon. It's great news but I alreadu struggle to see enough of the three children as it is. I feel guilty when I get home too late to put Jonathan to bed. I feel guilty when he cries for the nanny and not for me. Another child would make it even more difficult'
'I know darling but we don't have to think that far ahead yet. Like you're always telling me it's about the here and the now. No further ahead than that'
'Don't get me wrong though, it's brilliant news. We never wanted Jonathan to be our only child together did we?' Jill's heart glowed as she looked at her son lying in her arms. She couldn't deny the thought of another child did excite her.
'Exactly' the couple looked directly into each other's eyes and smiled, a tear of uncontrollable happiness rolled down Jill's face. Gordon place a hand on Jill's cheek and kissed her. 'We're having a baby!' he exclaimed excitedly, completely ecstatic at the news. They sealed the news with a passionate kiss, as Jonathan lay sleeping between the two of them.
