A.N- So I write my chapters on my iPhone and it's been dead recently- Apple replaced my iphone today and thanks to iCloud I have all my chapters back :)

Enjoy :)


Luke saw how pale and drawn his wife looked as he entered the room, glancing over the monitor she was attached to. Jade was sitting up in the bed and he vaguely noted the nurse removing the tray of needles and syringes from a tray at the side. 'What-what happened?'. Grace was sat next to the bed and was looking over her granddaughters chart, looking up at Luke's worried face.

Luke walked dazedly to Jade, kissed her lightly and sat in the seat on the other side of the bed. The doctor glanced over 'Grace, do you want to do this?' she nodded, looking a little shocked as the nurses and doctors left.

'Jade...' she smiled weakly and he kissed her lightly, sitting down next to her on the edge of the bed.

Fifteen minutes later Grace stepped out the room, motioning to her pacing son 'Christian, dear, Jade wants to talk to you'. He nodded awkwardly and walked over, Grace smiled at him 'I have to go and check some things, I'll let you talk and I'll be right back'. Christian said nothing and went into the hospital room.

Jade was sat up in the hospital bed, she looked fairly pale but her cheeks were pink and she smiled up as he came in. Luke was sitting next to the bed looking shell shocked 'are you alright? Is everything okay?' Jade smiled up at him. 'Everything is fine, Dad... It's bloody brilliant actually'. Christian narrowed his eyes in confusion 'I don't understand- you were so bad...you passed out' she nodded, a slight smile on her face still

'How do you feel about being a Grandad?'. There was a long pause before Christian seemed to understand what she had said 'you're...you're pregnant?'.

Jade nodded and there were tears in her eyes with her huge smile. He glanced at Luke as if for confirmation and saw that he had a dazed, amazed and deliriously happy look on his face as he nodded at Christian, giving him confirmation. Grace knocked on the open door, holding a chart in hand

'Can I come in?' everyone nodded and she had a wide smile on her face. 'Well, I've spoken to one of the doctors and he reckons that as you were unaware of the pregnancy you became ill because you had worn your body down, not resting enough or eating enough' Luke nodded 'hmm, it must have happened around the wedding, and to think we didn't even know!'. Grace bit the inside of her cheek slightly awkwardly 'Mom? What is it?' she glanced at her worried looking son 'well...we don't know if it is anything to do with the surgery or the accident but your baby is developing quite far back' Jade blinked 'doesn't that just mean I won't get a big bump?'.

Grace pause for a second 'um, no dear... It explains WHY you haven't got a big bump'. There was a long confused pause that Luke was the first to break 'I'm sorry...what are you saying- that she's further along than we thought?' 'she's much further along Luke. With the baby developing so far back it explains the back pain you felt over the last few weeks, also the stomach itself is less likely to stretch when it is developed muscularly' Christian and Luke nodded, aware that Jade was probably fitter than both of them 'Sweetie...I would say you fell pregnant right after the surgery or not long after'. Luke paled, working it out the quickest 'that was- that was ages ago...like six months?'

Grace swallowed 'more like eight'.

There was a long pause and she kept speaking to fill it 'the sonogram puts you at around 32 weeks, the baby starts to put down its fat in the next few weeks, you will actually start to show very soon, and probably very rapidly, although it won't be a large bump'.

Jade was looking like she'd been slapped 'I didn't even think...'

'yes, well I know that after the surgery you have been having fairly irregular and infrequent periods so it's only natural that you wouldn't notice as much'. Christian had a weak voice '32 weeks...how long is it usually?' Grace blinked in surprise at her sons question but Luke answered from the bedside, head in his hands 'full term is 40 weeks, but 37 weeks is usually considered okay...so we've got five weeks to prepare'. His voice was dry and he looked confused and shocked, Grace looked a little wary 'Jade...are you okay?'. She looked shocked but slipped a hand slowly over her flat stomach, a smile creeping up slowly.


No more cliffhangers- well not for a few chapters at least :)

Please review, it's always appreciated x
