Gordon briskly walked out of his office to just across the corridor to where Jill stood with a patient. He waited slightly away from his wife whilst she talked briefly to the old man, and once he'd gone Gordon joined Jill.
'Jill...I really think you should be at home!'
'For goodness sakes Gordon; I worked right up until Jonathon was born and it didn't do him any harm did it?'
'That was slightly different. Jonathon was early as well you know and this baby's over due. You really should be at home'
'And what do you suppose I do at home?'
'Rest!'
'I've got a list of patients to see and a ton of paper work to file, there's simply no time to rest' Jill kissed her husband's cheek, smiled at him warmly and then re-entered her consulting room. Gordon stayed stood outside her door for several seconds before walking off to carry on with his work. There really was no point arguing with Jill, she hated being seen as weak. However uncomfortable she looked, least he was close by so when the time came they'd be no rush to be by his wife's side.
