Connie groaned as the alarm on Jacob's phone started ringing.
"Turn it off" she mumbled and stuck her head under the pillow.
Jacob turned the alarm off then wrapped his arm around Connie's bare waist and lifted the pillow.
She followed over and buried her face in his chest and closed her eyes.
"Come on, we need to get up and go to work" he said.
"You can, I quit" she replied.
Jacob laughed and began to sit up, "you're never this bad trying to get up, what's wrong?" he asked.
"Well you aren't usually in work this early and I'm tired thanks to someone keeping me up all night" she said.
"You weren't moaning at the time, atleast not in a complaining way" Jacob said.
"Seriously babe we need to get up or we'll be late" he added.
"Jay I told you, I quit" Connie moaned.
"Don't be silly just cause you're tired. Get up" Jacob said.
"I'm not being silly! Check my emails, ask Dylan when you go in. I've quit" she told him.
"You're being serious? Why?" Jacob asked in shock.
"Hansen didn't approve, of us, he said I had to end it or you were fired so I quit" Connie replied.
"Babe you can't quit! You love that job, the ED's your life. I can't let you do something like that for me" he said.
"Well I have done. I'm going to be leaving in a few months anyway" she said as she rolled over to the other side of the bed.
"Why? Where are you going?" he asked.
"I'm going on maternity leave" Connie said simply.
"You're going on what?" Jacob almost shouted in shock as he jumped up.
"Maternity leave, I'm pregnant" she stuttered, sensing that his reaction was not one she had hoped for.
"Oh alright, first you quit, now you're pregnant, any other bombshells you wanna drop on me at 5:30 in the morning?" he asked.
"Yeah there is. I love you. Go to work Jacob" she said angrily.
They say in silence for a few minutes, Connie clearly annoyed and upset, until she felt his hands on her waist.
"No" he said softly.
"What?" Connie asked in confusion.
"No, I won't go to work, because I love you too. Come here you dosy mere" he told her.
Connie moved over to him and cuddled into him, "I'm sorry for overreacting sweetcheeks" he said as he placed a hand on her stomach.
"No I'm sorry, I shouldn't of told you like that, I should of done it properly. But if you ever call me a dosy mere again I'll take my job back just to fire you" she warned.
"If you say so baby" he replied.
"About the baby, how do you feel?" Connie asked.
"I'm happy sweetcheeks, I'm just shocked. I've always wanted children, and I couldn't have found a better woman to be having them with. I love you Connie Beauchanp" he told her.
"Well I love you too Jacob Masters" she replied.
"How far along are you?" he asked.
"Three months, I can't wait" Connie told him.
"I still can't believe you've quit, it's just not going to be the same without you" Jacob said.
"I might come back, maybe the ED, maybe Darwin, when the baby's old enough of course.
Wouldn't surprise me if Hansen's begging me to come back within the week then of course I'll tell him to stick it. You and our baby come first now, and always will. We both know I've got more money than sense anyway" she laughed.
"Very true Mrs B, now why don't we get some sleep? Considering you're so tired after last night antics" he suggested.
"You're really not going in?" Connie asked.
"Nah, I'll call in sick later" he replied before kissing her gently.
She smiled and rested her head on his chest as they closed their eyes, their hands laced together on her stomach.
