Obstacles and Barriers

The Verdict

Sorry I haven't posted in a while; I haven't been feeling that well, I'm a bit better now. I've dragged this story line on for a while, so I might wrap it up today to stop the continuous cliff hangers!

Jacob kept running, his body growing weaker. He placed Connie down on a trolley and tried to check for a pulse.

"She's got a faint pulse! Connie, Connie babe, please, talk to me." He was so concerned. Dixie tried to usher him away.

"Jacob, you need to get checked out, I never thought what you did was possible, your skin will most likely be severely damaged!" Dixie really felt for Jacob, it was definitely clear Connie was his world.

"I'm not leaving her." Jacob made it perfectly clear as he climbed in the back of the ambulance with Connie.

The ambulance sped off towards the hospital, Connie's heart-rate was increasing. Jacob prayed it was enough to keep their baby alive. As they arrived at the hospital, Cal, Zoe and Robyn greeted them. As they opened the ambulances door, their faces dropped.

"Right we all know Connie, 41.... 7 months.. pregnant" Jacob hesitated, he knew Connie wanted them to tell everyone when they were together, but he had no choice.

"Settled your little problem then?" Cal smirked.

"Get him out of my sight, before he ends up in resus too!" Jacob was about to snap.

Ian finished the handover while the team started Connie's tests.

"Thank you..." Jacob was really grateful for everything Ian and Dixie did to help Connie.

"Anytime mate." Ian patted Jacob on the back as he walked out.

*** I'm going to skip all the med bits, they would take forever to write and I have no clue what I'm going on about! Connie's treatment has gone well, with a few bumps along the way. She is now sitting upright and talking. The only thing left to do is assess the baby. Jacob has also been checked out and his wounds dressed. ***

As Jacob entered cubicles, he ran towards Connie and gave her a massive hug, both of them wincing from pain.

"I thought I was going to loose both of you!" Jacob said as he shed a tear, reflecting on the day.

"You shouldn't have done that! You could have been killed!" Connie had only witnessed a bit of it, but had been told the rest.

"But if I didn't, you and my man would be dead, and I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I let that happen." Jacob comforted Connie.

The cubicle curtains opened, and Mr. T popped his head through.

"Connie Beauchamp, well well well, look at you!" Mr. T joked.

He checked over the baby, using an ultrasound.

"Well your young man seems to be fine, just a bit shaken up. He should be back to normal in no time, just expect lots of kicking!" Mr. T smiled.

Connie and Jacob exhaled in relief, everything was going to be ok. They said their goodbyes to Mr. T after he wished them good luck.

"Oh shit, what about Gracie? I was meant to pick her up from school 2 hours ago!" Connie suddenly remembered.

Jacob simply shouted; "Gracie?" and she appeared in the cubicle and gave her mum a hug.

"I picked her up, while you were still asleep." Jacob smiled.

"Thank you baby, I love you, you know that?" Connie stated.

"Of course. I love you too, and our little one. And of course our Gracie!" Jacob replied as he kissed Connie and Grace's forehead and placed a warm hand on Connie's bumb.

Sorry it's a bit crappy, I really wasn't sure about this chapter as I don't know much medically. Also Certified_Fangirl123's story is really, good, you should check it out. xoxox
