Here's the last chapter of the HCGH Awards 2015 :)


Chapter Ten - Joke Awards Part 3

"Now we've got the last section of awards which aren't any sort of category, they're just sort of miscellaneous ." Harry announced. "The first one is for 'most likely to fall pregnant next'." He stated.

"I voted for you on this one." Guy whispered to Colette.

"You are joking me."

"Of course I am. I voted for Essie, everyone knows about her and Sacha." He replied quietly as Essie was only a few seats away from him.

"The winner is Zosia." Harry declared and Guy's jaw hit the floor which caused Colette to stifle a laugh.

"I'm gonna kill you." Zosia muttered to Dom who was giggling before she went up and collected her certificate and medal. But upon return to her seat, she faced an investigation by her father across the table.

"Why would they say that?" Guy demanded quietly.

"What? Dad, it's just a joke." Zosia protested. "Just like Sacha winning the best dressed award."

"Hey." Sacha protested.

"Sorry. But anyway, what would it matter if I were to fall pregnant?" She protested.

"Well where do I start? Firstly you're too young! You're still a junior doctor and–"

"Guy, she's winding you up." Colette smirked.

"Oh you little–"


"Now, there are only two awards left this evening and I've got to privilege to present them." Cara stated. "The first award is for the most sarcastic person."

"I think we all know who's going to win this." Ollie muttered.

"I'll tell her you said that." Jonny quipped.

"So you didn't vote for Jac for this?" Tara questioned.

"I didn't say that." Jonny replied innocently which caused Ollie, Tara, Mo and Elliot to exchange a bemused glance.

"The winner unfortunately isn't here to collect her award, congratulations Jac Naylor."

"I think you mean fortunately she isn't here." Raf joked as Jonny got up to collect the award on Jac's behalf.

"No, I'd say Jac prides herself on her sarcasm so she'd probably be proud of this award." Jonny remarked. "The cheap medal, not so much." He added after Harry had handed him the plastic item.

"Give it to Emma, she loves shiny things." Mo stated.

"Yeah but she'll probably try to eat it." Jonny replied bluntly.


"Well, this is the final award of this evening ladies and gentlemen: 'Most blonde'." Cara stated.

"I wasn't really sure who to vote for, for this award." Fletch admitted.

"No, neither was I. And it's kind of a mean award too so I just left it blank when I voted." Morven stated.

"It's only a joke, no one will take it seriously." Raf shrugged.

"The winner is Adele Effanga who also isn't here to accept it."

"Not that I didn't vote for her myself but I think it's best everyone keeps quiet about this and we just hide the certificate." Mo suggested as she got up to collect the award for her sister.

"I'm gonna tell her you voted for her now." Jesse stated.

"And if you do I'll tell Adele that you went surfing a few weeks ago with your mates when you told her you were oncall at the hospital." Mo threatened.

"Right, thank you everyone for coming but tonight has come to an end and I think we're getting close to closing time." Harry announced as she glanced at his watch.

"Well done mate for organising all of this." Fletch said as he pulled his jacket on.

"Hey, I did most of it." Mary-Claire protested.

"Alright, well done both of you." Fletch corrected himself.

"I'd better get home to Jac and my little angel." Jonny stated as he stood up and patted his pockets to ensure he still had his phone and wallet.

"Say night to Emma for me." Mo said.

"Hopefully, she should be fast asleep by now but if she's still up I will."


"Do you want to share a taxi?" Raf suggested as he stepped out of the pub with Cara in tow. The street was lit by overhead lights but it was eerily quiet outside; not a single car passed as they stood at the corner of the road.

"I was gonna get the bus; nurse's salary and all." She stated as she took out her bus pass.

"Nonsense, I'll pay and you can jump in the taxi with me. Where abouts do you live?"

"Fortescue Avenue."

"Oh I live down Avon road so we're practically neighbours." He smirked.

"Are you sure? I don't mind getting the bus."

"Honestly, don't worry about it."

"Thanks Raf." Cara said gratefully. There were a few moments of silence where the two got closer. Then, they simultaneously turned their heads to face each other and held eye contact with one another. They were both just about to lean in when the pub door swung open and Serena, Ric and Colette stepped out.

"Oh, are you two waiting for a taxi?" Serena asked.

"Yeah we are." Raf replied.

"Oh, we can wait together then." She smiled and the two then became a five. Inside, Cara's heart was racing but the anti-climax of an interrupted disheartened her. Hopefully they'd get some alone time in their taxi.


It was nearing midnight and Jonny had intended to creep in ever so quietly so that he didn't wake either of his two girls but he arrived home to find the hallway light on. He entered the house and walked through to the kitchen where he found Jac standing with a sleepy Emma on her hip whilst she waited for the electric bottle warmer.

"Our little terror keeping you up?" Jonny grinned. "Come here Emma. Mummy's got work in the morning so I'll give you your milk." He said softly and without protestations, Jac handed the child over before she ran a hand through her wavy hair. "Go on, go to bed. I'll sort her out." Jonny said reassuringly and so Jac walked out of the kitchen and padded upstairs. "You're old enough not to need milk in the night now sweetheart so we're going to stop it soon." He whispered softly before he took the bottle out of the warmer, shook it and then tested a drip on his wrist before he handed the bottle to the hungry little girl.

"Bu-bah." Emma frowned as she held on tightly to her bottle. Bu-bah had been a nickname for her bottle she'd created a month or two ago but after a lot of appraisal from Jonny she'd kept on repeating the phrase to Jac's annoyance.

"You can keep your bu-bah, you just won't have any in the night unless you get really hungry because mummy and I get tired when we have to get up in the night and you're old enough to sleep the whole night without needing milk." He explained as he sat at the breakfast table and sat his daughter on his lap. He knew she'd have no idea what he was going on about but he liked to talk to his daughter just to keep her calm.

He sat there at the chair whilst she suckled milk from the bottle for almost quarter of an hour when she dropped the bottle on the floor and began fidgeting.

"I take it you're finished with this." Jonny said sarcastically as he bend down to pick up the bottle with a little milk left in it before he stood up and held her over his shoulder. "Good girl, let's go and tuck you into bed."


"I am absolutely knackered." Dom declared as he collapsed back onto the sofa and kicked his shoes off in the living room of the junior doctors' flat. "I've been in theatre all day and I didn't even get a lunch break until gone two o'clock."

"I'd rather be in your shoes. I've been stuck with Sacha all day updating my portfolio and doing paperwork." Zosia stated.

"Right well I don't know about you two but I'm going to bed." Arthur sighed as he padded into his bedroom and then closed the door behind him.

"Do you want me to rub some more of that cream into your back before we go to bed?" Dom offered.

"Nah, I'm going to stop using it. I've had it for over a month now and it's not doing anything. I'll have to go back to my GP and get him to prescribe a stronger cream."

"Just write prescription when you're at work and I'll sign it for you."

"No, I'll do it the legitimate way." Zosia stated. "I am really tired though so I'm going to bed as well."

"Oh come on, don't be a spoilsport. Have one more drink with me."

"Dom, I've got a lot of work to do tomorrow." Zosia huffed before she ran her hands over her face.

"We haven't got work tomorrow." Dom frowned.

"No but I've got to sort out my room, do the shopping, I've got a dentist appointment and I want to go to the gym."

"Ugh, how dare you say the g word."

"Goodnight Dom." Zosia smiled before strolled into her bedroom and let her hair down.


Once Emma was fast asleep, Jonny got changed into an old t-shirt and shorts, turned the lights out and then slid into bed besides Jac. He wrapped his arm around her abdomen and nuzzled his nose into the back of her neck before he closed his eyes.

"Thanks for taking her feed." Jac murmured.

"No problem." Jonny whispered back. "You won three awards by the way. And the prizes were plastic medals and certificates which I think we should hang up on the wall."

"Shut up Maconie." Jac mumbled into her pillow.

"Night." He chuckled and once he had gotten comfortable he drifted off into a deep slumber.


Thanks everyone for reading and reviewing :)
