Sorry it's been a while I've been so-so-so busy. Back now though

Enjoy :) x

Jade had stayed with Ana and Christian for the three hours that she had been going through the fairly slow labour until Nurses, Doctors and Midwives had suddenly announced that they wanted to perform a cesarean as the labour was slowing down.

As Ana had been whisked away, Ana had seen the look of absolute fear in her father's eyes and held his arms so he had to look at her 'Dad, everything is going to be fine. You can't freak out now, you need to be there to keep Ana calm and be there for your son alright?'.

He didn't say anything but nodded, looking slightly less white and kissed her cheek quickly before hurrying out the room and down the corridor after his fiancée.

Jade was standing alone in the room for a few minutes before Mia and Elliot came in, seeing the distant look in her eyes. 'Jade, is everything okay?'.

'Huh? Oh, yeah…Ana's been taken for a caesarean, Dad's gone with her. We can just sit here and wait now…'.

Elliot and Mia glanced at each other, both noticing that Jade was clearly somewhere else in her head and Mia put her head to one side 'What's wrong, Jade?'.

They both watched as their niece looked around the room and sighed 'I was incredibly lucky to have managed one pregnancy, let alone two. The scarring from what happened in Israel has to be checked every now and again… I've told Luke that I-…never mind… I'm going to wait for Ana and Dad'.

She turned and swiftly left the room, walking down the corridor where Christian and Ana had disappeared, leaving Elliot and Mia to look at each other in confusion.

It felt like three hours later that Christian found Jade, a huge smile on his face 'do you want to come and see your little brother?'. Jade had never stood up and entered a room so quickly, clearly excited.

Ana was sitting up in a bed, looking deliriously happy and still drowsy from the medications. Christian motioned to the hospital crib beside them 'his name is Theodore, we're thinking of calling him Teddy though'.

Jess slowly picked up Teddy in her arms and sat back in the chair, looking down at the baby with a smile 'hey little brother, I'm Jade, I'm your big sister'. Teddy gurgled and she laughed lightly 'and don't worry, when your Daddy is too protective over you, I'll be around to sneak you out of the house to parties and get you booze when his back is turned'.

From the other side of the room Christian raised an eyebrow 'I can hear you by the way'. Jade looked up with a smirk 'I know'.

Jade was exhausted and wanted to be at home with her own little children, who had come back with Luke to their apartment. She also knew that Ana and Christian needed their time alone with their new baby, and kissed them both on the cheeks before leaving them after spending some time with her new brother.

Back at the apartment later Jade looked tired and sat down on the sofa, looking distant as Luke came in and sat down opposite her 'CJ finished his bottle and he's asleep, Faith is doing that thing where she says she's not tired but her eyes were barely open when I was reading to her'. Jade half nodded, voice quiet 'I'll slip and give her a kiss goodnight in a minute'.

Luke eyed her warily, sitting forward in his chair so he was only a foot away from Jade 'what's wrong?'. She shook her head 'nothing'.

Jade, I asked what's wrong, I'm not an idiot'. She swallowed, looking down at the floor 'the scarring on my abdomen, um…you know they have to keep an eye on it?' he nodded, saying nothing so she didn't stop talking 'I lied. I said I didn't want to have another pregnancy, but I can't. I couldn't even if I wanted to, after what happened with CJ as well…I can't have another pregnancy Luke…sorry. I know we talked about adoption and all that…but I should have told you…I'm sorry I can't-'.

He cut her off, putting his hand up to stop her 'what the hell are you apologising for, Jade? You're my wife and the woman I'm going to stay with for the rest of my life. You went through the most traumatic incident imaginable and came out the other side. I'm not with you because you can get pregnant, I'm with you because I love you. Please, do not apologise for anything, alright?' She nodded and he moved to sit beside her, putting an arm around her 'god, sometimes you really are silly. You don't have to fucking apologise! I love you, you know'

Luke kissed Jade behind her ear, making her close her eyes and her breath hitch slightly before her husband mutter mischievously into her ear. 'Well, both the kids will be asleep for a while won't they?'. Jade nodded and he kissed behind her ear again, a sly grin on his face 'I'm sure we've got just enough time for me to fuck you senseless'.

Jade ruined the moment slightly by snorting with laughter before standing up sharply, leaving Luke looking confused 'You alright?'. Jade grinned back at him, taking his hand and pulling him to his feet.

'If you'd rather stay here you can, but I was going to check on our kids and meet you in our bedroom'.

Jade sashayed out of the room, not needing to look back to know that Luke was watching her retreating figure, feeling him hurry up behind her and wrap an arm around her waist as they made their way to their children's bedrooms to check they were sleeping.

Forty minutes later Jade collapsed onto the sheets, breathing heavily as her phone beeped. She glanced at it, then at Luke, who was lying on his back beside her, looking like he'd run a marathon, and looking like he could sleep for a week. It was a text message 'Elena L: Hi, can I come over sometime soon to see the kids? E'.

Jade sighed, she would deal with that later, turning her phone onto silent and turning back to her husband, who had a lazy grin on his face.

'Well Mrs Sawyer, you were on top form today'. She laughed and moved over to kiss him gently, leaning against his muscular chest 'not too bad yourself Mr Sawyer. I love you, by the way'.

Luke sat up on his elbows and tipped her face up towards him 'I love you too, and don't ever forget that'.

They were about to kiss again when their sons crying interrupted them. Luke kissed her quickly and slipped out of bed, pulling on his boxers and dressing gown 'you need your sleep, you've had a big day, I'll look after him'.

Jade smiled and settled back in the pillows, letting sleep wash over her as she felt content and happy, feelings that she'd spent her whole youth trying to find. Things might have been up and down for a long time, but it seemed that for now at least, things were definitely going on the up.
