What's happened Lucy said her voice cracking.
Tim went up behind her taking her hand she moved away from him.
Miss your brother has been involved in an accident. There was a raid and a bomb was discovered. He sent all the men out and-
Lucy interrupted him. I-is he dead she asked. Tim saw her body struggle to stay upright
He saved 12 men diffused the bomb but when he left got caught in the raid.
He's alive but we don't know much about his injuries apart from they are life threatening he's being flown home to west hospital. He should be there in a few hours. I'm so sorry to bring you this news.

Lucy hung up. Tears falling her hand shaking she brought it to her mouth T-ti-Tim she said he moved close to her hugging her. He sat her on the bed. Baby you need to breathe he said she took shallow breaths sending herself in to a further state of panic.
Tim sat her up placing a hand on her chest. Slow slowly he said she tried to breathe in.
Tim looked at her eyes he's being flown home they think he's got life threatening injuries. He should be at the hospital in a couple of hours. Lucy took some deep breaths she didn't want to fall apart in front of her friends. Composing herself she wiped her eyes. Tim took her hand and they walked down the stairs. She saw everyone in the kitchen their eyes on her and Tim she squeezed his hand.
Guys we are going to head out Tim said jaspers been involved in an accident and he's being flown home we are going to see him at the hospital. Angela looked at Lucy her lip wobbled she turned her head into Tim he hugged her in.
Oh Luce Angela said I'm so sorry she let go of Tim and Angela walked towards her and hugged her. I can't do the falling apart I just need to go and see him. Ange nodded let me know if you need anything. Nodding Lucy left to get in the car. Angela hugged Tim you know where we are hun Tim nodded Nyla hugged him look after her he smiled.

Getting in the car the ride to the hospital was quiet. Tim took Lucy's hand as they walked in. I'm here to see Jasper Chen she said relation the receptionist asked. I'm his si-sister.
He's currently in surgery when we have an update I'll make sure you're notified. Please take a seat in our waiting room. Lucy sat down her legs shaking Tim placed his hand on her leg. Babe take a breath. She nodded. Her face pale drained of colour she couldn't think.
they sat in the relatives room. Passing hour 12 her head bobbed Tim's head heavy too. Angela walked in. Hey she said in hushed tones hey Tim said no news yet. He shook his head.
At least she's resting Angela said rubbing her leg. Can you help me Tim whispered I want to lie her down can you pick her legs up.
Angela nodded bending down moving her legs on to the seats. They were slightly wider in the relatives lounge. Lucy moaned softly shhhh Tim said kissing her head. He lowered her shoulders and rested her head on his lap. Thanks ange he said she left I'll be back tomorrow. He nodded his fingers running through her hair. They both fell asleep his eyes opened when the morning lights came on. Lucy was still dead to the world.

He stroked her hair baby he said she stirred. Rubbing her eyes. Do we know anything. She said. Tim shook his head. Her eyes filling with tears. We probably will today though right she asked looking at Tim. He nodded I think so.
They went to go get some food. God I feel sick she said just getting a drink I'm not hungry. 
Morning passed a doctor found them miss Chen he said Lucy shot up Tim just behind.
We have managed to repair the damage he had shrapnel in his heart so we took it out and plugged the hole. He's in an induced coma and the next 24 hours are crucial while he was talking Lucy felt an overwhelming sense of nausea creep up. She retched her hand going to her mouth. Babe you good Tim said as she ran to the nearest bin and vomited into it.  Woah Tim said standing behind her she stood up the doctor came over are you ill he asked Lucy shook her head I think it's a reaction.
Just then she felt really lightheaded and grabbed Tim woah Luce this isn't right he said her legs had turned to jelly Tim grabbed her so she didn't fall. Then it all went black. Lucy fainted into Tim's arms.
The doctor asked Tim to carry her to a room.
They drew her blood and put her on a drip. 30 minutes later Lucy's eyes fluttered open panic set in Tim stood up over her. It's okay Jasper is alive. You fainted okay you're okay. She nodded sitting up Tim offered her some water. She smiled at him. What did I do to deserve you. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips he stroked her hair.
The doctor came in
Right Lucy the reason you fainted is very simply lack of iron and low blood pressure. She nodded it's really common for pregnant women to have low iron so I'll prescribe you some supplements. She nodded not taking in what the doctor had said.
Woah wait I just have low iron I'm not pregnant. I'm on the pill.
The pill is only 93% effective plus Your blood test confirmed you're pregnant. I'll leave you guys for 10 then get a technician to come and do an ultrasound.
Lucy sat there speechless. Tim still processing looked at Lucy.
The pair sat in silence the technician came in. Right this gel will be a tad cold. She squirted it on her stomach. She placed the wand over her belly. The room silent then
**Thump** thump**
**Thump** thump**
**Thump** thump**
**Thump** thump**
That's a very strong heartbeat. The technician moved the screen there is your baby pointing to the middle of the screen. Tim smiled taking Lucy's hand she had a tear fall from her eye.
You're measuring at around 3 months. She printed them a scan picture and left.
Oh my god Lucy said breaking down in tears. This is the world's worst timing.
I don't think there's ever a good time Tim said stroking her hair.
But we haven't even discussed and jasper and I don't even know if each of Lucy's thought becoming too much to handle.
Wooooahhh Lucy Tim said. Take a breath. A little you or me I can't think of anything cuter he said we are going to be there for Jasper and I know we haven't discussed children but there's nothing I want more with you. He said smiling.

What a fucking day she said laughing softly. He pulled her in we will get through it together. She smiled breathing him in.
