Lofty swung the door open to Connie's office, "you're needed in resus. It's Jacob" he said before running off.
Connie was up and running after him as fast as she could in her heels whilst carrying the extra weight that so far nobody knew about.
As she got into resus tears were threatening to fall as she saw him lying on the bed covered in blood.
"What happened?" she asked Lily whilst trying to compose herself.
"Knife wound to the right shoulder" Lily replied.
"Ok, I'll take over. Rita keep the pressure on please, Robyn ten of morphine. Jacob can you here me?" Connie said.
"Connie, don't leave me" he groaned in pain.
"I won't Jacob, you're going to be just fine" she reasurred him.
"Heart rates dropping! We are loosing him" lofty warned.
"Jacob, Jay stay with me please" Connie said but got no response.
"Let's cross match four units! Robyn get the TXA. We need to open him up here" she said as tears began to roll down her cheeks.
Rita took the pressure off then Connie opened up his arm.
She almost dropped the scalpel trembling and sobbing.
"Mrs Beauchamp, let me do it" Lily said as she took the scalpel from her.
Connie moved to the other side of the bed, "stay with me Jay, please, I need you" she sobbed.
Rita, Lofty and Roybn looked over her at her in shock at what they had just heard.
They watched as Connie took his other hand then lifted up her blouse to reveal a bump rounded by her vest top and placed his hand on it, "that's your daddy baby girl" she cried.
"Connie, wait outside" Rita said firmly.
"I can't leave him, I can't" she sobbed.
"Charlie, take her outside please. Connie we'll look after him but you shouldn't be in here" Rita told her.
Charlie took Connie by the hand and led her away as she sobbed.
"He'll be ok Connie, Jacob's strong. You and I both know that"
"I love him so much, I can't raise this baby on my own" she cried as Charlie hugged her.
"You won't have to Connie, it's alright" he comforted her.
"I don't know what happened Charlie! He was supposed to be at home waiting for me" Connie sobbed.
"I know, let's go to your office. We can find that out later" he said.
Charlie sat down at Connie's desk whilst she laid down on the couch.
She ended up falling asleep until the door opened almost an hour later.
"Jacob's awake, he's asking for you Connie" Rita said as she opened the door.
Connie stood up quickly then followed Rita to Jacob's side room followed by Charlie.
They waited outside as Connie went in and took Jacob's hand in hers.
"Hey baby" he said weakly.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" she asked.
"Better now that you're here" he replied.
"I'm sorry I left you in there" Connie said with tears in her eyes.
"Don't cry, please. It's alright" he reassured her.
"What happened Jacob? I thought you were at home then you're brought in after being stabbed" she said.
Jacob sighed, "I wanted to surprise you, can you pass me my jacket?" he asked.
Connie nodded then took his jacket from the table next to his bed.
He put his hand into the pocket then took something out before putting the jacket down again.
"I love you sweetcheeks, there isn't a day that goes by were I don't fall more in love with you. You're the most beautiful, intelligent, amazing woman I've ever met, and I'm proud to say that you are the mother of my child. Connie Beauchamp, will you marry me?" Jacob asked as he opened a small black box in his hand to reveal a beautiful diamond ring.
"Yes! Yes of course I'll marry you Jacob, I love you too" she said as she cried with happiness.
"Well thank god for that, the roses, flower petals and candles at home might of been a bit embarrassing if you'd said no" he grinned at her.
Connie laughed through her tears then sat down on the edge of the bed as he placed the ring on her finger.
He moved his hand to her stomach and smoothed out her blouse, "I can't wait to meet this little one" he said.
"Neither can I Jay" she replied then lent down and kissed him just before the doors opened.
Connie turned around to see Charlie then stood up and hugged him.
"Congratulations, both of you. Glad you're alright Jacob" he said.
"Thanks Charlie" Jacob replied.
"Charlie, can I ask you something?" Connie said.
"Course, anything" he said.
"Well it's two things actually, I was wondering if you'd give me away, and if when the baby's here you'd allow her to know you are grandad? You're like a dad to me" Connie asked.
Charlie hugged Connie again, "of course, I'd be honoured on both accounts" he said before kissing Connie's forehead.
Connie sat back down on the edge of the bed then Jacob pulled her down slightly so she was snuggling into him whilst Charlie sat down next to the bed.
"How are we going to cope with another mini Connie? She'll of taken over the hospital by the time she can talk" Charlie said causing Connie to laugh.
"I think we'll be just fine don't you sweetcheeks?" Jacob asked.
"Really? Have you met Grace? This baby's got both mine and your genes, think of the mess from you and the moddyness from me! It's like Grace times two" she giggled.
"Good point, babe I love you but I think I'm gonna move out" he joked.
"You wouldn't dare!" she said as she faked being hurt.
"Nah course not, Grandad Charlie will keep her in check won't ya?" Jacob said.
"Course, I've gotten very good at sorting out Beauchamps haven't I Connie?" he joked.
"Hey what is this? Pick on Connie day?" she said.
"Awww I love you really" Jacob told her.
"I love you too muscles" she replied.
