Please Read and Review they mean the world to me xxx
Set when Jac is 30 weeks pregnant!
Jac woke up beside Joseph in her spacious double bed. She immediately realised she was lying in a pool of something wet. For a minute she thought her waters had broken but then she realised it was too early and she would have been having contractions.
On impulse she looked down and was shocked to see that the liquid she was lying in was red. She stared in terror. It wasn't...it couldnt be...was it? She let out a scream so loud it woke Joseph! "JAC WHAT THE HELL" he yelled. Then he saw Jacs terrified face "I'm sorry sweetheart" he said. "What is it?" Jac silently pointed at the sheets which were stained a deep red. Joseph looked at her silently his heart breaking. He knew what she must be thinking and he couldn't lie it had crossed his mind too. But he knew they had to be positive. "Jac " he said "Jac listen to me we'll go into work early today and we'll have a scan to check that everything's ok."
Jac nodded silently tears pouring down her face. Who would have thought it. Jac Naylor the ice queen showing so much emotion over a little thing like losing her baby. If you had told her at the start of her pregnancy she would be lying in bed waking up beside Joseph Byrne every morning she would have scoffed at you. Now it seemed like her world had come crashing down.
While Joseph went to waken Harry and get him dressed Jac tidied herself up as best she could. She pull on her designer cloths and stunning high heels. She knew that she didn't have time to straighten her hair so she pulled it up into a messy bun that looked surprisingly elegant on her. She looked so calm and in control like her clothes suggested. But she didn't feel it. Inside her emotions were all mixed up, fear and terror jumbled together. She didn't know how she felt anymore.
Jac and Joseph arrived to see Mr T at 5:30 that morning. He looked surprised to see them. His clothes were crumpled and there was lines round his eyes but he smiled nonetheless "Jac,Joseph why are you here." Seeing Jac was about to cry again Joseph quickly said "Jacs had some heavy bleeding overnight."
Mr T's expression changed from Cheerful to concerned. "Right" he said "has it stopped now." Clearing her throat Jac said "I think so." Mr T nodded. "Ok so could you hop up on the bed for me please Jac" he requested "I think it's best we we do a ultrasound to be on the safe side" he requested. Jac obeyed while Mr T got the ultrasound machine ready.
Moving the probe around her stomach Mr T turned the screen to face him instead of the concerned parents. He moved the probe around her stomach a bit more and then he removed the probe while Jac wiped her stomach clean with the tissue provided.
"Would you like to take a seat" Mr T asked. Filled with dread Jac and Joseph sat down. "Ok" Mr T said "Well I have some bad news for you." Jac nodded a bitter feeling of hurt filling her. "Well you did have twins" Mr T explained to the astounded parents. "But unfortunately due to bad luck you miscarried one of them. "It's just bad luck we didn't pick up on the fact you had twins on the scan but one of them must have been hiding. Now luckily the other twin isn't harmed but we will wait to the birth to remove what is left of the other twin. I am sorry for this but you still have the other baby."
Jac stood looking at Joseph tears in her eyes. She was devestated that she had lost her darling daughter. She still had her other daughter but she still felt a sense of loss.
Joseph but a comforting arm around her shoulder and with a word of thanks to Mr T he led her out of the room. Jac stood beside him for a second to get her composure back. Then with a shake of her head she indicated to Joseph that he was to go down to the ED and she would go up to Darwin.
Not giving Joseph a chance to argue she walked off. Her usual arrogant walk as strong as before. The on,y time she faltered was when she came to the stairs. She normally would have taken them but now she wanted to look after the one remaining baby in her stomach.
Sighing regretfullh she stepped into the lift. There was only two other people in it in the form of the hospitals CEO Mr Hanssen and his deputy Ms Campbell. They smiled at her and their eyes performed the compulsory flick downwards to her 30 week bump. The lift journey was made in a companiable silence until Serena got off at Keller and Mt Hanssen got off at his office on the 5th floor.
The lift gave a ping at it arrived at Darwin on the 6th floor. Jac stalked out of it and proceeded to storm up the ward in an elegant, haughty walk. The F1s looked at her in terror and her fellow consultant Elliot Hope bumbled over to her. "Ah Jac" he smiled "Connie turned up here this morning and she was intoxicated again."
Jac sighed. Why did she keep doing this to herself? "Ok then Elliot I'm going to catch up on paperwork for awhile before my theatre lift starts." Elliot smiled at her. "Sure Jac you have a valve replacement at 12 remember."
She nodded too exhausted to talk. Walking towards her office took so much effort. She stopped only to snap at an F1. When she finally arrived at her office she collapsed in her chair and only then did she let the tears fall.
