Okay, I'm sorry if this is getting confusing, but this chapter is based on AAU after the last AAU chapter, so for anyone who was wondering you do find out what happened to Jac, although it may have been obvious, and also thanks to a guest who is 'un-known' I have decided to write this chapter around Jonny and Jac's relationship from the viewpoint of Jonny, so thank-you for your review. I am also extremely tired and am typing this up in partial darkness because I have gone of light at the moment, so sorry for errors. Please review because it really lets me know what you guys want to happen next and whether anyone is actually enjoying this at all :) xx
Jac lifted her hand from out under the sheets to show them the blood which it had been covered in.
Somehow, despite the fearful Jac, the worried Jonny and the fact that the patient was colleague, Zoe managed to stay completely calm, as if treating any other patient on any other day. She moved the sheets that Jac was under and instantly went into auto-pilot relaying information of what everyone was to do.
"Right, you three," indicating to Sacha, Jonny and Sam while she spoke. "I need you to leave, so we can perform to our highest standards and so that you will not be persuaded to take control if anything goes wrong. And that's an if," she added noticing the expressions on the faces of the three people that were close to Jac.
Once they had left, after much argument from Sam and Jonny, Zoe knew she had to act fast. She looked around the room quickly and made the decisions that were needed and that would affect the outcome of the situation. "Everyone, we need to move her to theatre quickly but carefully. Jac has suffered a placental abruption, which of course can have serious affects to the baby if we don't act correctly and if the blood loss is great than we could lose her as well. Let's go."
She along with Fletch, Tom and Robyn carefully moved the bed out of resus and down the corridor towards theatre, closely followed by the three relatives. Tess left resus just after them and was order by Zoe to page the on call anaesthetist and to send some-one down from paediatrics to help with the baby once delivered, even though Tom did specialise in children.
Outside of the theatre doors, Zoe quickly explained to Jonny, Sam and Sacha that they were going to perform an emergency caesarean on her and get the baby sent up to paeds as quickly as possible, then steam the bleed. The trio sat outside the doors for what felt like forever.
To say the three were impatient was defiantly an understatement, every few seconds one of them would up at the clock, willing time to pass faster, so they would be able to see Jac sooner and know what the situation was now standing at. Jonny couldn't help but pace up and down the stretch of a small piece of corridor, not wanting to stray too far from the theatre doors in case Jac or the baby were to leave in a hurry.
He loved Jac, and was dreading what might happen if she wasn't around to see their baby grow up, he really would be a useless father without her around, for he was just a child in a man's body himself. He really couldn't imagine his life without Jac. They weren't together, together but they just seemed to work the way they did without needing to be together and without her they wouldn't be able to work because she wouldn't be there for them to be together, without actually being together. Their relationship wasn't that confusing.
He couldn't see his life without Jac in the picture, it was unimaginable. She had made such a dent in his life already, taking that away would ruin him, and that would not be suitable for someone who would be trying to raise a child by himself and juggle work.
He couldn't imagine waking up every day without knowing he would soon be seeing that amazing flow of glowing hair down her back as she walked towards her office door. Or without knowing that after a few drinks after work they would be spending the night together, then waking up to see her amazing body, right down to the dimples at the bottom of back, one either side of her spine.
He couldn't imagine going through each day without hearing her moan about the smallest things, or without hearing her complain about the amount of doughnuts that she had or hadn't managed to eat, depending on her state of her womb at the current date.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like to not hear her repeatedly tell him that he was extremely childish and defiantly wasn't father material, just because he liked to use bubblegum toothpaste and enjoyed to read comics on occasions where they were appropriate.
He finally realised that he was still majorly hung up on Jac, something which the rest of the hospital already knew. She would have to make it through this, now even more so.
He sat back in one of the chairs next to Sam, waiting. He started drumming his fingers on the arm of the chair, which gained two rather annoyed looks, one from Sam and the other from Sacha. He stopped and jumped up when he heard the doors swing open.
He expected to see Jac; half forgetting that there would also be a baby leaving theatre before she would be. Out rushed several paediatric specialists, of which none of them knew, pushing along a baby that had been incubated, along with Tom, who hung back several moments to explain the situation.
"Well," Tom began, feeling slightly out of place delivering information to people who he was so close too. All three looked at him, waiting for him to continue, and he could tell Jonny was torn between whether to stay here and wait for Jac or whether to follow and go with their small sick child. Tom continued, "You had a baby girl." This piece of information caused Jonny to smile; he could just imagine a mini version of Jac running round. Sacha patted him on the back and he earned a quick hug from Sam.
Just the Jonny realised something. "Well where are they taking her? She is okay isn't she? And what about Jac?" He needed to know how everything was going to turn out before he could be overly happy about having a baby girl to love and to care for.
"They are taking her to ITU on the paediatric ward where they will be able to monitor her as, as you know, she is premature. At first there was a struggle to breath, and she still isn't breathing for herself at the moment. I'm sure you know that because of the lack of oxygen to her brain there may be some form of permanent brain damage; however we will have to wait to see. About Jac... she has had a large amount of blood loss but they did say she is stable." Tom felt awkward having to deliver such news to them. He looked at the three faces, waiting for some sort of response. "I'm sorry," he added onto the end.
Jonny nodded, and then a smile grew on his face. His Jac was going to be alright. She wasn't going anywhere. And their little girl was alive, he didn't care whether or not she may have brain damage, she would be loved by both Jac and himself all the same. He then looked towards Sacha and Sam, who both looked happy that Jac was stable. The three hugged outside the doors, and Sam kissed Tom, thankful that he had given them good news on Jac.
Jonny was still stuck on whether to stay or go. "How long are they going to be in theatre for?" he asked, wanting to know if he had enough time to go and see their little girl. He knew it was what Jac would want, he just felt guilty about leaving Jac and maybe not being their when she awoke.
"Jac won't be awake for at least another half hour, you have time to go and see her if you want." Tom answered, smiling, happy that they hadn't taken the news as he had expected.
Jonny nodded, and left with Tom, seeing as he was to stay on his daughters case until she was well enough to leave, because that was the only option, leaving Sam and Sacha outside of theatre just waiting for Jac to leave.
Jonny knew he shouldn't hold onto threads because he knew situations could change quickly due to the smallest things possible. However he had already almost lost both girls so close to him in one day, and he couldn't help clasp at them.
This was actually really hard to write, hopefully it was okay. I struggled to get Jonny's thoughts and Toms 'voice' right so sorry if they aren't very good. As you probably guessed, Sam and Tom are together and the whole Tom hitting Sam and jail episodes haven't happened, just to clear it up. The next chapter I was thinking would be revolved around their baby (any name suggestions would be valued) and Jonny, and I know I said it would be more of a Jac fic, so sorry that it hasn't been the case at the moment... going to stop rambling on now... please review:) xx
