After last nights episode I think it's inevitable that Rita will fall pregnant with Iain's kid. I've written Rita before, but not Iain, so we'll see how this goes.
I haven't put the ages of the characters in for a while, so here goes.
Iain: 32.
Rita: 36.
They are aged to what they are in RL.
The Secret Life Of Casualty
Chapter 83.
Rita's head pounded as she attempted to lift it from the pillow. "Ow" She groaned as she attempted to sit up and locate the packet of paracetamol and a glass of water. She tipped the two small tablets in to her hand and took them with a large gulp of water.
It was then she saw Iain lying next to her. She looked under the covers. They were both... naked.
"Shit " thought Rita as the events of last night come flooding back to her.
Iain opened his eyes. "Morning Rita"
"Morning Iain " She replied, running a hand through her short blonde hair. She then grabbed her dressing gown which was singing on the end of the bed and wrapped it around her, securing the belt around her.
As, the clinical nurse manager, walked in to the ED, she was wearing a pair of sunglasses. Zoe knew this only too well, as when she went out drinking if, she was in the ED the next day, she'd come in wearing a pair of a Channel sunglasses.
Zoe laughed as she saw her friend. "You remind me of me when I went out drinking"
Rita entered her office and sat at her desk as she rested her head in her hands. It had been an emotional shift for the team as the first anniversary of Jeff's death had approached and people were in a sombre mood.
"Come in "
Iain walked in, standing in the middle of the room.
"Yes Iain?" Rita asked.
"About last night?" He started to say but Rita put a hand up to stop him and gave him a small smile.
"What about it?" She asked. To be honest, she wanted to forget about it, but Iain, he looked like the cat that had got the cream.
"Shall we do it again?"
A wave of sickness washed over the small nurse and she left the office as she headed for the toilet, she was now doubting that this was more than a hangover. She walked in to the toilets, thankful that they were empty. She sunk to her knees as she vomited in to the bowl and sat back on her heels for a few moments before she got a bit of tissue roll and wiped her mouth. She threw the tissue in to the toilet and stood up. She flushed the chain and unlocked the door, heading to the sinks to wash her hands.
She headed to the chemist, on her lunch break, with her grey jacket and glasses on and brought a pregnancy test. She didn't know what she wanted the result of the test to be, she'd never wanted kids before, never wanted them with Mark, but now she couldn't help, but wonder if she could have a baby. She was 36, her career was good and she had a decent group of friends within the ED. She looked at her watch and saw that she needed to get back to the hospital. She pulled a £20 out of her purse and waited for the woman to give her the bag with the test in. She left the shop and headed back to the ED. She checked her watch again, she still had a few minutes left of her lunch break and she headed back in to the toilets. Locking, the door to the cubicle, she sat down on the toilet for a few minutes, before taking the box out of the bag and opening the box. She pulled out the instructions, read them and then did what the box told her. She closed her eyes as she stood, binned the rubbish and walked out.
"Rita are you ok?" Clinical lead Zoe Hanna, asked, as she saw her friend was looking pale.
Rita wanted to tell Zoe the truth, so she did.
"I'm pregnant"
"Congratlons "
"Thanks"
"Does the dad know?"
"No" Rita shook her head.
"He deserves to know Rita " Zoe told her and Rita wondered how she was going to tell Iain he was going to be a dad in- she flipped the thin stick over again - 3 months. She wasn't looking forward to the delivery, she was a petite woman and she knew that labour hurt. She shook her head. And off she went to find Iain.
Iain was in the staff room, and Rita braced herself to tell him the truth.
"Iain. " She said, almost nervously.
"Yeah?" He asked
"I'm pregnant" She told him.
"I'm going to be a dad?" He said, almost in disbelief.
Rita nodded.
Iain stood up, Rita was sure he was going to walk out of the door.
He picked Rita up and spun her around, as she laughed, then Iain put her down and she striaghtened her scrubs.
When Rita arrived back at her flat, after her shift, she realised that it was too small, she would need a bigger place before the baby arrived. Maybe she could move in with Iain.
"What's up mate?" Dixie asked her work partner as they headed for the pub at the end of the shift.
"Rita's pregnant " He told her.
"Blimey" Dixie chuckled.
Iain said nothing, just took a sip of his pint.
"How far along is she?"
Iain shrugged. "I don't know "
Dixie nodded. She was happy for her friends.
Iain finished his pint and left the pub, he decided to go and visit Rita. He headed in the direction of the Farmead Flats and he rang the bell to Rita's.
Rita was sat in the living room when she heard the buzzer. Sighing, she walked in to the hallway and pulled open the door to find Iain standing there.
She moved aside to let him in and he walked in, Rita shut the door behind him. She walked in to the living room and sat down, as Iain followed her.
Rita spoke first. "I'm keeping the baby"
"Good" Iain wringed his hands as Rita kept a hand on her stomach.
He brought her face up to his, and they kissed, more focused on getting Iain's house ready for the new arrival.
Thanks for reading, I enjoyed writing it and I hope that you guys enjoyed reading it and thanks to Semperfi91, for the prompt, I hope this was somewhat close to what you were expecting.
I had to get some Iain and Dixie friendship in there, considering I've never written the two of them of them together.
