Little Additions
Chapter 2
...
"What's up, is Emma okay?" Mo said, just as Jonny came strolling down the corridor, coming to a standstill next to his fiancée and best friend,
"Emma's poorly, nursery are sending her home, tell professor hope I've gone to get her and I'll be back tomorrow if she's better, Jonny I'll see you at home" Jac explained, before giving Jonny and kiss and walking off to get her poorly little girl.
...
5 minutes later, Jac arrived at the nursery doors, where she could see her little girl curled up in the foetus position on the sofa asleep, with her comfort toy, Ralph tucked in between her arms. Jac pushed the doors open and walked over to reception desk.
"Hi, I got a call about my daughter, Emma, they said she's ill" Jac said to the confused looking women, just as Becky the nursery worker walked over.
"Hi Ms Naylor, she's just fell asleep again, we did try to keep her awake..." Becky started, letting Jac into the main nursery area,
"it's fine don't worry, she must be ill she never sleeps during the day... Emma, Emma it's mummy! Wake up Em" Jac said, scooping Emma's limp body into her arms.
"I think I'll keep her off tomorrow, just to make sure she's ok! Thanks for calling. Bye" Jac added, before exiting the room with her sleeping child.
Half way to the reception area, Emma started to wake up, opening her bright blue eyes to see her mum carrying her,
"Mummy! Where's Daddy?" Emma said, her voice sounded husky.
"Daddy's upstairs, we are going to see him now, then go home. How do you feel sweetheart?" Jac asked, softly, shuffling Emma around so she sat snug on her hips.
"My tummy and my throat hurts! Can we watch frozen when we get home?" Emma asked quietly, as Jac stepped into the lift.
"Of course we can" she replied, just as the doors closed and the lift took then to Darwin.
Up on Darwin, Jonny and Mo were looking at party ideas on the computer at the nurses station. Just then the doors to the lift opened, Mo and Jonny looked up to see who it was, soon realising it was Jac and Emma, they quickly shut the computer screen off and pretended to look busy.
"Daddy! Aunty Mo!" Emma said, jogging across the ward towards them.
"Someone soon brightened up.." Jac said, smiling as she dumped Emma's school bag on the counter.
"Are you feeling poorly princess" Jonny said, placing Emma onto his knee and giving her a big squeeze
"Yeah, my throat and tummy hurt so Mummy came to pick me up, we are going to watch frozen when we get home!" Emma said, excitedly to her dad.
"Cool... She does feel a bit warm still, maybe it'll be worth keeping her off tomorrow aswell" Jonny said, as Emma jumped off and went to give Mo a cuddle.
"Ah one step ahead of you Maconie! Already told them she won't be in tomorrow" Jac said, smugly. Jonny smiled at her.
"Can I have a word Jac? Would you mind watching Em for a little bit Mo" Jonny asked as held onto Jac's hand.
"Go for it, me and this little one have things to sort out!" Mo said excitedly, tickling Emma under her arms, making her laugh loudly.
Jonny then led Jac into the consultants office, which was luckily empty, closing the door quietly behind him. Jac went and sat down in her chair as Jonny came and leant against the glass top.
"Have you thought about what I asked you earlier? About trying for another baby?" Jonny asked, with hope in his eyes. Jac looked up at him, before looking at her desk.
"It's all I've been thinking about Jonny, I'd love to say yes but... Can I have some more time to think, I'll let you know tonight" Jac replied, still unsure whether having another child would complete them as a family.
"Of course you can sweetheart... Just think about it, you me, Emma and a son or another daughter, we can get married, get a bigger house do family things" Jonny said.
Jac could see the happiness in his eyes as he spoke about all the things they would do as a family of four, he looked like a child opening their presents at Christmas. Jac then stood herself up, edging closely towards Jonny, who was still talking about the many things they could do as a family of four.
"Right Jonny, I best get Emma home, I'll see if Sacha can have her tomorrow aswell... Love you" Jac said, kissing him softly on the lips, before they both walked out of the office and back on to the ward.
"Right Emma, it's time we went and left Daddy and Aunty Mo to it! Don't mess up my ward whilst I'm gone" Jac said, as Emma ran to her side and held her hand.
"Would we?..." Mo said jokingly, before Jonny butted in.
"Trust us Jac, make sure my tea is sorted and on the table for when I get back! Love you both" Jonny said, loving the fact he was winding up Jac.
"You'll be lucky to have a cup of tea Maconie!" Jac replied sarcastically.
Emma stood there giggling to herself as her parents bantered between themselves,
"Bye Daddy, Bye Aunty Mo! I love you!" Emma said, before she continued to laugh. Jac and Emma then both walked off of the ward.
"You promise we can watch frozen and for my birthday can I have an elsa and Anna dress?" Emma asked quietly to her mum. Jac looked down to her and smiled,
"Of course we can Emma and I'll see!" Jac replied.
1 hour later...
Jac and Emma had been home for around 45 minutes, they had climbed into their pj's and snuggled up in front of the tele watching frozen as promised. 20 minutes into the film, Emma had leant her head against her mothers chest, listening to her heart beat against her chest, just like she used to do when she was tiny.
Jac watched her daughter as she looked at the TV, wondering how she would react if Jac and Jonny were to have another child.
"Emma..." Jac started, pausing as she thought of what she was going to say.
"Yes Mummy?" Emma replied, not taking her eyes off of the tele as she spoke,
"Mummy and Daddy have been speaking to each other and... How would you feel about having a baby brother or sister?" Jac asked, figuring it must be better to just blurt it out rather than keep it under lock and key.
Emma looked up to Jac, her eyes filled with happiness and excitement,
"Can we mummy? I want a baby brother or sister! I can share my toys with them and take care of them with you and Daddy!" Emma said, excitedly as she looked into her mothers eyes. Jac sat there smiling, her mind clearly made up about Jonny's proposal.
"It won't be just yet sweet heart but we thought we would ask you first!" Jac said smiling, before giving her daughter a big squeeze.
"Right, I'm just going to go and make some tea, before Daddy comes home you finish watching this I'll just be in the kitchen if you need me" Jac added before kissing her daughter tenderly on her head before getting up and going into the open plan kitchen. Emma got herself comfortable in her blanket and began to hum her favourite song...
