I wasn't planning on updating today but due to repeated requests here it is (that and I'm too tired to bothered to do anything else!). Please review because all opinions, suggestions and thoughts are genuinely appreciated.

Jac lay with Jonny on the bed of Darwin's on call room, their bodies still entwined from, what Jonny termed as , their 'lunch break delight'. Even after all the time that had passed since they first met Jonny made no secret of the fact that he still desired her and Jac was more than happy to reciprocate. She lightly kissed her lovers cheek as she moved herself into a more comfortable position. She laid her head on Jonny's bare chest so she could hear the beating of his heart.

'Don't fall asleep Jac' Jonny warned her as he ran his fingers through her long hair.

'Hmm' Jac mumbled closing her eyes.

'I'm being serious. I think Professor Hope will notice when you don't join him in theatre in half an hours' time'.

'You're just worried about your theatre schedule being messed up' Jac teased him as she opened her eyes again knowing Jonny was right.

'Hey' Jonny playfully pinched her shoulder 'I don't know what would happen with this ward without me running it like a tight ship'.

'I don't know what I'd do without you full stop' Jac said quietly. She ran her hand down his arm until she found his hand. She entwined his fingers with her own. 'you've been amazing since Jasmine turned up.'

'Jac I keep telling your family is my family. Besides I like having Jasmine with us, I'm glad to have finally met George and you know how I feel about Ava.'

'I know' Jac lifted her head off his chest and looked deep into Jonny's eyes 'I just wanted you to know its appreciated' she bushed his lips lightly with her own and then rested her forehead on Jonny's.

'What's with the soppiness all of a sudden?' Jonny teased his fiancée in a whisper. He'd been pleased that Jac had softened with him after they had made the pact to be open with each other and talk but she often still took him by surprise.

Jac rolled onto her side still facing Jonny. 'I was talking to Jasmine yesterday whilst you were flying the kite with Ava.'

'Oh yes I could see you two nattering away.' Jonny smiled at Jac as he mirrored her movement and rolled over onto his side too so he could comfortably maintain eye contact.

'She asked me what it was like to fall in love. She's never been madly in love and felt love in return.' Jac squeezed Jonny's hand that was still entwined in her own. 'Isn't that sad?'

'That's heart breaking' Jonny agreed.

'She pointed out that now she'll never get the chance. I guess it just made me grateful.' They stared into each other's eyes for a moment, each pondering the significance of Jac's words. The moment was shattered when Jac's pager beeped.

'If that's about Mr Henderson complaining again I swear to god there will be no extra biscuits with his cup of tea.' Jonny grumbled as Jac got up and started dressing hurriedly.

'It's a consult for AAU. I don't know why they didn't page Mo' Jac said as she located her stethoscope from the floor where it had been hastily discarded in the heat of the moment.

'Its probably Sacha wanting dating advice again.' Jonny joked as he started getting dressed.

'I bloody hope not' Jac pulled a face 'I'm getting fed up of being called down there to diagnose indigestion just so he can take the opportunity to question me about your friend.' She gave Jonny a hurried kiss as she slipped out of the door. She could see Mo sitting at the nurse's station and had a sneaking suspicion Jonny's theory would be correct.


'Bloody Sacha' Jac muttered in Jonny's ear as she passed the nurses' station on her way to get ready for theatre. Jonny laughed as she stomped into her office.

'What's up with the moody cow today then?' Mo inquired as she waited for the computer to oblige to her wishes.

'Nothing' Jonny said as he quickly busied himself with organising the patient files.

'I thought a bit of afternoon delight with you in the on call room would have added a bit of cheer to her day.' Mo didn't look up from the computer screen as she said this.

'Ah look Mo, before you get all disapproving on me should know that Jac and I have a very full house and are currently sleeping in the living room with no privacy…'

'Relax Jonny I'm not going to drop you in it with Hanssen for misuse of on call rooms. Just don't let me find out about it.' Mo frowned at her friend 'And promise me you changed the sheets.'

'Absolutely' Jonny grinned at Mo. 'Are you ok?'

'Oh yes. Hunky Dory' Mo replied in the same fed up tone.

'Ok. Well I'm due in theatre. We'll talk later yes?'

'Whatever' Mo muttered as Jonny walked away.


'What did Sacha want?' Jonny asked Jac as he watched her scrub up for theatre.

'Mo apparently sent him a text asking him out for dinner' Jac finished scrubbing and dried her hands 'he wanted to know what I thought it means'

Seriously? Jonny asked as he helped Jac into her gown.

'Oh yes.' Jac rolled her eyes. 'He wanted my advice on if he should go, what he should put in the text and how long should he wait before replying. Honestly he can be such a girl.' Jac pulled the latex gloves over her hands with deft snap.

'Well Mo's gone all grumpy so either he still hasn't replied or he's turned her down.'

'Well if he's turned my registrar grumpy by refusing her, quite frankly long overdue, dinner invite I'll skin him alive.' Jac allowed Jonny to fix her mask over her face and they walked into the theatre together.

Jonny stood at the edge of the room and Jac took up her usual position at the table opposite Elliot Hope. 'Good afternoon Ms Naylor' the professor greeted her warmly 'I hope you don't mind but I made a start. I trust all was well on AAU?'

'Yes. I managed to correctly diagnose a chest infection without too much trouble' Jac rolled her eyes again.

'Oh dear. I think we need to take action to solve the love sick Sacha and Mo problem.' Elliot chuckled. 'I had a rather nice little chat with your sister and grandfather this morning. They were enjoying a coffee after Jasmines scan.' Elliot continued to chatter as they worked together preparing the patient for the insertion of the Hertzig device.

'Can you believe Spence refused to let me see the images?' Jac said still annoyed by what she felt was an attempt to exclude her from Jasmines medical care.

'Yes I can' Elliot sternly. His tone reminded Jac of when Elliot was her teacher and mentor. 'Jasmine seemed to want to know an awful lot about your engagement to Nurse Maconie. Wanted to know if I thought you'd ever get married.'

Jac sighed 'she has become rather obsessed with it. She seems to have an over romanticised idea of love and marriage from reading too many romance novels.'

'That's what I love about you Jac, your warm glowing romanticism about our relationship' Jonny's voice came from the back of the theatre.

The theatre team tittered with laugher.

'You know what I mean Maconie' Jac looked over her shoulder at him 'can you see us doing a big white wedding type thing? Because that is what goes on in my sisters head.'

'Well no' Jonny said shifting awkwardly. 'But it would be nice to know that however we chose to do it one day we will actually tie the knot.'

'Perhaps we should just concentrate on fitting this Hertzig' Jac said turning her attention back to the patient.

Elliot could tell that Jac wasn't annoyed by this conversation occurring in theatre as much as she might have been the past. 'I rather imagine you and Jonny having a small private ceremony. Just a few friends. Simple yet elegant.'

'Elliot!' Jac's stern voice warned him that the topic was closed.

'Well however you decide to do it I very much hope I'll be invited' Jac gave the professor a cold eyed stare 'Right well if we could have the Hertzig ready please…' Elliot decided that now was most definitely time to let the matter drop. He couldn't help but hope Jonny would be able to pick up the conversation later and he would see the couple married by the end of the year.
