In the moment

Home visit

The next morning Jack had helped Soph shower and get dressed into her comfiest tracksuit. He carried her downstairs to the sofa absolutely adamant she wasn't aloud to walk far. She was sat watching this morning when there was a knock at the door, Jack appeared from the kitchen covered in maes porridge 'stay put! I'll get it' he orders, dragging his sliders to the front door. He reappears 2 minutes later 'you've got visitors bab' he smiles at her followed in by jo and Ellie.
'Oh Soph, we've all been so worried about you!' Jo squeezes her.
Ellie sits down on the sofa 'id squeeze you like that too but I'm scared I'll hurt you' she whispers.
Jack pokes his head back in the front room 'anyone want a cuppa? Kettles on' They all nod and send him their sugar requests and he potters back in the kitchen.
'You've got him domesticated haven't you?' Jo smirks at Soph making her giggle
'In all honesty he's been an angel, I'd be lost without him' she states as he walks back in the room with a tray full of tea and biscuits
'Here ya are girls' he sets the tray down on the coffee table, then goes and grabs a small table to put closer to Soph so her tea is in arms reach 'I'll leave you's to it' he kisses Soph on the cheek.
Jo looks at Soph who's currently avoiding eye contact 'you need to marry that boy Sophie!' She states
'Oh my god imagine how amazing the wedding would be, little mae toddling down the aisle' ellie starts gushing 'I can just picture it all now, and obviously the best hair team in the area at your disposal' she gestures to her and jo
Soph sips her tea 'can we all just calm down a minute'
'I think he's got it in him Soph, I don't think he's bothered about the time. The way he spoke about you the other night..' jo stops in her tracks realising she said to much. Ellie looks just as confused as Soph.
She puts her cup of tea on the table and adjust herself 'the other night?' Sophs getting that feeling, flustered, her blood boiling.
'Soph please forget I said anything he'll kill me if he knew I'd even mentioned it' jo pleads with her quietly 'I'll explain just not now, but it's nothing bad I promise'
Ellie shouts up trying to defuse the situation 'ooo Soph it's nearly your birthday! Do you have anything planned?'
Soph smiles at her 'I think Ellie i will probably be here on the sofa, in my fluffy socks watching pretty woman'
There's screaming from the kitchen, and then they hear Jack 'orrr moi god mae!' He appears at the door holding mae out at arms length, shit all up her back. 'Erm, I dunno how ya deal with this yknow' he's trying not to retch at the smell.
All the girls in fits of laughter 'give her here' jo walks over 'everything still in her nursery?' She asks, Soph nods in reply before jo heads upstairs to clean her up.
'It ain't bloody normal that like' he's rubbing his head stood in the doorway, T-shirt still completely plastered in porridge.

After jo and Ellie left, jack brought Soph some soup in. She still couldn't stand chewing, the pain radiated through her temples with every bite. She looked down at the soup we're he'd made a love heart out of the ground pepper. 'Thank you baby' she says as he places the bowl on her lap. 'So ...' she really wasn't going to let what jo said go 'jo said you were with her the other night?' She sips the soup off her spoon as she watches jacks reaction
He rolls his eyes, then nervously runs his hand through his hair pushing his curtains back 'knew she wouldn't keep her mouth shut, how much did she tell you?' His face is furious, looking Soph straight in the eyes.
'Not much really just that you were with her talking about me' she shrugs.
He licks his lips 'okay so, after the match, me and John went for a drink then back to his. She was there. That's it. I don't know why she's making it a thing'
She watches him tuck his shorts and run his finger round the hem, such an easy distraction 'she wasn't making it a thing, she just said you were there that's all. You just never mentioned going to johns' she tucks back into her soup.
'Ah right we'll yeah I went to johns. But I'd have rather of been with you. Im going to regret that decision every day till I die Soph' he looks at her doe eyed.
She places the bowl on the small table next to her 'I know im sorry. Im so thankful you came back at all, I could have been locked in that en-suite bleeding to death. If it wasn't for you jack, I don't know what could have happened' she try's to stand up but he's straight to her side.
'Where do ya think ya going?' Hes jokes as she sways on her feet.
'I need the toilet jack' she laughs, but all of studden she can feel the soup in her throat and then it's splashing over her feet. She sobs 'I'm sorry Im so sorry' she clings on to him as he picks her up and carries her to the bathroom.
'I'm calling the dr as soon as we've cleaned you up' he sits her down on the toilet 'ya worse than mae' he beams at her making her chuckle.

Jack managed to get an emergency dr out to check Soph over and revise her prescription.
'So what seems to be the matter Sophie?' The dr ask as he checks her vitals.
She looks at jack and then back to the dr 'I literally can't stop being sick, Jack over there thinks it's my medication' she looks back at Jack and smiles but he's face is serious.
'It not funny Soph, yav sicked up every last thing you've eaten, ya haven't even digested nout, it's not right' he shots her a warning look to take it serious.
The dr sits on the edge of the sofa 'your vitals are completely fine, with any head injury nausea is a huge side affect along with headaches and dizziness. Did you have any of these side effects before your head injury?'
She looks at jacks again 'yeah, I guess that's kind of the reason I fell'
'Okay can we do a quick urine sample?' He asks Soph, who agrees. Jack helps her to the bathroom.
'What do they check your urine for?' He asks Soph as she tried to pee neatly into a tiny tube.
'I think like glucose, infection, blood' she replies as she now sits on the chair next to the sink to wash her hands.
Jack helps her back to the front room and she hands the dr her sample.
'I'm just gonna test this now' he holds out a multi coloured strip and dips it in the urine.
Just as jacks about to sit next to Soph, the baby monitor lights up, followed by the sound of maes crying. He pats Soph on the knee 'Ive got it!' He says proudly and heads up the stairs.
'Hmmm' the drs watching the strip 'seems fine, a little high in glucose but I can see you've been drinking lucozade so that could be that.' He shuffles back around in his bag bringing out an iPad and he's swiping his finger through pages. 'I can't see from your hospital records that there was a test recorded in hospital, unusual' he talks out loud to himself then looks back up at Soph 'Sophie, is there any chance you could be pregnant?' She thinks about it for a moment and she knows its possible 'when was your last period?'
Thinking about it, she hasn't had one in a while. She checks her cycle tracking app and she feels as if all the bloods ran out of her body. '10 weeks ago' she replies quietly
'I see. Are you okay for me to test?' She nods watching Jack on the monitor with mae.
'Sure' the rooms spinning again
The dr lays the test on the table, watching it closely 'Sophie, would you like Jack to be in the room?' He looks up at her from the test.
Her eyes fixated on the baby monitor, 'no it's okay, go ahead'
