Guest: Thank you for the review, glad you liked the chapter.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 433.
Ruby glanced in the mirror, before splashing some cold water on her face. She tried to be positive, repeating a saying in her mind.
"You've got this, Ruby"
Suddenly, she stiffened as she heard the doorbell ring, that would be Iain. Taking one last look in the mirror, she unlocked the door and stepped out on to the landing. She could hear Iain shouting through the letter box. "Ruby, it's me"
Ruby started to make her way down the stairs, and unlocked the door.
"Finally" Iain joked.
Ruby gave a weak smile. "Hi, Iain"
Iain stepped in to the house, following Ruby in to the living room. She sat on the couch while Iain took the armchair.
"Would you like a beer?" Ruby offered, she'd have one herself, but knowing there was now a baby inside of her, she couldn't risk harming it however small it was.
Iain shook his head. "No thanks"
The two lasped in to silence until Iain spoke:
"Ruby, whatever it is, it can't be that bad" Iain joked.
"I'm, um, pregnant" Ruby whispered.
"I'm going to be a dad?" Iain questioned in disbelief. There had only been one other woman that had gotten pregnant with his child and that had been Rita Freeman, but shortly after the birth, she'd left Holby and had taken their daughter with her, Iain had lost touch with both of them.
Ruby nodded, "Yeah, Iain, I don't know what to do"
Iain stood up from the armchair and sat on the couch, next to his pregnant colleague. "Ruby, " He said, slipping an arm around her. "I'll be there for you, both of you"
Ruby managed another weak smile.
