Two Against The World
Chapter 29
..."But im not loving these hormones, they're worse than before, when I was pregnant!" Jac added, letting out a small laugh as she looked at Jonny, who was laughing at her.
Mo and Mr T watched on at the new parents as they bonded with their newborn daughter, thinking about what their future held for them,
"I can't wait to have children, it's the matter of finding the man to have them with!" Mo said, in awe of her friends and their tiny baby, Mr T looked at Mo lovingly,
"You will meet the right person and have beautiful children, Maybe he's right under your nose!" Mr T said, dropping a huge hint to the surgeon...
Mo looked at Mr T, Gazing into his eyes as they shared the moment,
"Maybe I already have!" Mo said, smiling as she was lost in his eyes,
Jac and Jonny quickly glanced up at the pair, Wishing that they would just hurry up and get together,
"Oh, Mr T do we know how much she weighs, did they say anything about her head?" Jonny asked, as he and Jac waited for his answer
"Oh, erm she's 7lbs 6ozs, she's perfectly healthy and just to keep an eye on how it heals, if there's any changes she's to go back to paediatrics" Mr T replied,
"I'll be back up soon yeah, maybe with a few other well wishers, if that's ok.?" Mo said, as Jonny and Jac looked up at her,
"That's fine, we can't wait to see you all!" Jonny said, before Mr T and Mo turned and walked out of the room, closing the door gently behind them.
"Mo, I was thinking that, maybe Me and you could go for a... Drink if you want, a night cap after work? I finish around 12.30!" Mr T said, nervously rubbing his hands, as he waited for an answer from the shocked looking surgeon,
"Yeah sure, it's a date! Meet me on Darwin, say 12.45?"Mo said, still smiling before nervously walking away in direction of Darwin. Mr T stood there, smiling hoping that he could use this opportunity to admit his true feelings to Mo.
5 minutes later, Mo had arrived on Darwin, walking straight the to Nurses Station, where Elliot, Sacha, Micheal, Serena and Zosia were all eagerly awaiting some news about Jac and Jonny, Mo went and stood in front of the group, looking down at the floor, causing the group to give her all their attention, before she looked up at them,
"Courtney Mae Maconie, born at 22.39pm weighing 7lbs 6ozs, mother and baby are doing well, can't say much for Maconie, she's got him wrapped around her little finger already!" Mo announced, after leaving the team in suspense for a minute.
"Oh my goodness!" Every one said in unison, as they all turned to face each other,
"Have you seen them? Jac Jonny and Courtney?" Elliot asked feeling proud of the couple that they had welcomed their daughter into the world
"Yeah, she's absolutely gorgeous, she's just like Jac, hair as well but she has Jonny's clear blue eyes!" Mo replied, going all excited as she spoke about the little girl
"Ahh, I'm sure we can all pop up during our breaks, ill go and collect a card and a small gift for the little girl and Jac from downstairs" Elliot said, as he turned around and walked over to the lift,
"I'll come with, I want to get her a little something as well!" Sacha said, jogging to catch up with the professor.
30 minutes later, they had arrived back on the ward, armed with baby pink balloons, teddy bears, chocolates for the new parents and cards that the staff on the different wards had signed for the new parents along with cash for them to spend on the new arrival.
"Right everyone, I would like you all to sign this card for Ms Naylor and Nurse Maconie, who have welcomed their daughter, Courtney Mae Maconie in the world an hour and a half ago" Elliot announcd, placing the card open on the glass shelf for the staff,
There was then wave of 'Aww's ' flooding through the ward, as all the nurses crowded around the card, taking it in turns to sign the card as they discussed the new parents and their baby. Sacha placed the balloons, chocolate and teddy bears onto the desk for the time being and carried on with some work as the Darwin staff came along every so often to write their wished for the the new parents.
A few hours had past and the ward was peaceful and quiet, Sacha and Elliot had been busy in theatre for the past couple of hours, after an emergency referral from the ED, and had just walked through the doors to Darwin. They both walked over to the nurses station, to find the card had been filled completely and the little tub to the side, stuffed with an array of Notes and coins for the new arrival, along with balloons and little gift bags with little soft toys gently placed inside of them for Courtney,
"Wow, who would have know that Jac and Jonny were so popular on this ward" Sacha exclaimed, gasping as he saw the amount of congratulations and well wishes in the card, Elliot then slowly walked up behind him, beaming with pride and happiness as he glanced at the full looking card,
"I'm not surprised, Jac is a valued member of staff on this ward, as is Jonny, she is a very loving and compassionate women, even through her icy exterior!" Elliot said, as he stood next to Sacha with his hands closed together, admiring the card and little gifts that people had left. Sacha stood there, a smile gradually appearing on his face as Elliot spoke about their colleagues,
"I suppose we best get this lot up to the proud parents hadn't we? I can't wait to see little Courtney!" He replied, scooping up the gift bags, balloons and other cards as Elliot grabbed the donation pot and staff card.
10 minutes later, both Elliot and Sacha came strolling onto the maternity ward, greeted by the echoing sounds of newborns crying from the separate rooms that lined the long corridor. After they both took in the cries, they walked over to the reception desk, where a midwife was typing patient notes onto the system, as they stopped in front of the desk, the rushed midwife looked up to the two men that were towering over her, with objects in Both arms,
"Hi can I help you gentlemen?" She asked, closing the patient files so that no one could see the confidential information. Sacha and Elliot looked at each other before answering the midwife,
"Hi, we are here to see our colleague, Jac Naylor, she had her little girl not so long ago" Sacha said, trying to get a better grip of the objects he was holding as they were slipping out of his hands,
"Ok, she's down the corridor in the labour suite, right at the end on the right" the midwife said, before returning to her typing. Sacha and Elliot then both walked through the double doors which lead them to the corridor and strolled down the long and narrow looking hallway.
As they both approached Jac's room, they both looked through the little window on the door, gazing at the loved up couple as they bonded with their tiny, newborn Daughter, who was was cradled in her mothers arms. After watching them for a few minutes, Sacha knocked the door firmly, which startled the couple, who immediately looked up to see who it was, shouting the two surgeons in as soon as they realised who they were,
"Come in !" Jonny shouted, as the door opened and the two, exhausted looking surgeons walked in,
"Hi guys, how are you both?" Jac said, smiling as they approached her, Jonny and Courtney
"Congratulations Mummy and Daddy!" Sacha said excitedly as he placed the bags, cards and balloons on to the tray by Jac's bed and walked over to see his friends little girl,
"Congratulations Jac and Jonny, she is a little beauty isn't she... Oh these are from everyone on the ward!" Elliot said, also walking over to the see the little bundle.
"Oh wow! Is that really all ours? Courtney is one very lucky little girl to have this many people love her already!" Jonny said, as he took a peep into a couple of the brightly coloured bags.
"She is a very lucky little girl, she had wonderful parents who love her dearly and an extended family at the hospital that love her so much, and who love and care for her mum and dad!" Elliot said, kissing Jac tenderly on the forehead, before sitting himself down on the edge of the spacious bed.
Jac and Jonny looked at each other and smiled, before they both looked at Elliot,
"Would you like to hold your granddaughter Elliot?" Jac asked, smiling at Elliot as she saw the tears begin to build in his eyes,
"O of course, yes, yes I will, thank you!" Elliot said, as he held out his arms ready to receive the tiny baby, Jac gently leant forward and passed her daughter over to Elliot, who immediately started to soothe Courtney who was making little gurgling sounds as she moved about.
"Shhh, it's ok little one, I'm your grandad..." Elliot said, as he spoke softly to Courtney. Jac, Jonny and Sacha watched the teary eyed professor, close the tears themselves as they heard him speak with pride.
An hour later, after they had all had cuddles with Courtney and had a chit chat about anything and everything, Elliot and Sacha decided that it was time that they got themselves home and leave the new parents alone for their first night as a family,
"Right we are going to make a move, it's been a very long day, not as long as your day but tiring still, we shall see you tomorrow!" Elliot said, as both he and Sacha stood up and said their good byes to Courtney and Jac and Jonny,
"Thank you so much for all the lovely gifts and cards and money, she has been spoiled already!" Jac said, as she gave Sacha and Elliot a cuddle in turn, as did Jonny after he put his sleepy daughter in her crib. Moments later Elliot and Sacha left the room, waving through the window before they left the ward.
Jonny had joined Jac on the bed, allowing her to snuggle into his arms and rest her head on his chest,
"Goodnight my beautiful princess, I'm oh so proud of you after today, I promise I will take care of everything you need me to, I will never let you or Courtney down, you two are my world!" Jonny said, stroking Jac's hair looking down as he finished speaking, realising that Jac had already fallen asleep. He sat there smiling for a seconds before kissing her on her forehead, looking over to their daughter and falling asleep himself,
"Goodnight my wee girl, Mummy and Daddy love you so much!" Jonny said before shutting his eyes and drifting off into a deep sleep...
