Never Change

Chapter 12

At this point, he was unsure whether she actually meant it. The past week had been interesting to say the least, Jac was overly snappy and out came the relentless teasing from Kian which he was sure he would be murdered as a result. Jac had started her new plan for Holby after observing, he was unsure whether she was doing the right thing but either way he would support her and get on with what he's told. He was slightly concerned about her taking on too much especially in her condition but if he was to mention it he was sure he would be in the dog house for eternity with no way of coming out of it. Kian was watching Jac stroll through Darwin, he smirked at her then she smirked back and Chloe practically gagged with all the love in the air.

"How do you feel about joining me in theatre?" Kian asks kissing Jac on the head, she frowns

"With your daughter bouncing on my bladder every two seconds, no thanks" she shakes her head and Kian rolls his eyes "Plus I'm pretty sure you can do a couple of valve replacements Madani"

"If I can he can" Chloe pipes up and Jac thrusts her arms forward before walking off causing Kian to groan "Stop complaining"

"I wanted her to get back to doing what she does best"

"Cut her some slack," Chloe says quietly and Kian nods "Any way you need to get on before she contemplates sacking you"

"She wouldn't do that"

"Well she won't have a need to if you get on and do your job" Chloe rolls her eyes and Kian hums slightly "Also buy her something to stop her snapping at the nurses"

"She's not that bad..." he trails off and notices Jac shouting at some nurse, he winces "Yeah you're right, I'll find something to shut her up"

"Sooner rather than later before we lose any more staff" Chloe smiles and Kian nods noticing Jac sitting down at one of the computers, he smiles slightly and Jac looks at him and smiles before turning back to her work...

His eyes marvelled over the confectionary, he sighed slightly wondering what would be the best thing to get her considering she had been craving sweet things. The last thing he wanted was to buy the wrong thing and have her moodier than she was so he settled on the triple chocolate muffin knowing he couldn't go wrong with that. Upon entering the office he was cautious, he gingerly placed the paper bag down in front of Jac, she frowned and picked it up before smiling widely at the muffin he had purchased for her and she proceeded to greedily eat the thing mumbling to Kian that if anyone saw her like this she would kill them personally so Kian was on guard at the door through the duration of her eating the muffin.

"Done?" he questions and Jac bites her lip she picks up the paper bag and licks it "Ok that's not weird at all"

"Breath a word of this and I won't be responsible for my actions" Jac states and Kian rolls his eyes at her "I'm done"

"Right now why won't you join me in theatre?"

"I've already said why" she states and Kian sighs "Why do you want me in there anyway?"

"Because it's what you do" Kian states and Jac leans back against the chair, she closes her eyes and frowns slightly "Are you ok?"

"Yeah just...I just don't want to go back there, I wanted to stop on my terms" she states and Kian nods "I only came back to fix this place Kian, I can't do that properly if I'm being dragged into theatre"

"I understand," he says and cups her cheek, she bites her lip "You have chocolate sauce all over your mouth"

"Oh" she laughs slightly grabbing a tissue and wiping her face "Plus once this hospital is out of special measures then I'm out of here"
