Connie walked into the staff room and began handing out white envelopes to each of the staff before turning on her heel without a word and walking out.
Robyn quickly opened the envelope and pulled out the piece of card inside.
Her eyes went wide and she nearly dropped it, the others following suit.
"You're invited to Connie Beauchamp's engagement party at 6:30pm, June 14th 2016 at the Harlow Hotel, Holby" Robyn read out.
"Who the hell is she engaged to?! I had no idea she was even dating!" Cal said.
"Beats me, I suppose we will find out tomorrow" Rita replied.
"Hey mate, you going Connie's engagement party?" Cal asked Jacob at the nurses station.
"Nah, it's my sisters birthday tomorrow, I'll just have to congratulate her" he replied.
"Oh right, any idea who she's marrying?" He asked.
"Not a clue, anyway I need to get back to my patient, I'll see you later" he replied before heading off to cubicals.
The staff all arrived around the same time at the hotel the next evening.
They made their way inside, then were showed to a private room that had been booked.
It was fully decorated, with a dance floor and a bar that had been pre paid for.
Connie walked in a few minutes later wearing a tight red cleavage bearing dress.
"Where's the fiancé?!" Rita shouted.
She smirked and stood by the door, everyone's jaws dropping as Jacob walked in and wrapped his arms around Connie's waist.
He pulled her into a kiss which she eagerly responded to.
"How the hell didn't we know about this?!" Rita asked.
Connie and Jacob pulled away from the kiss, grinning at everyone.
"We decided to keep it a secret" Connie said.
"How long have you been together?" Ethan asked.
"Almost two years" Jacob replied.
"So that's why you lock your office and close your blinds so often now?!" Rita laughed.
"Yes" Jacob smirked only to be hit on the chest by Connie who said "no" quickly.
"Oh admit it sweetcheeks" he grinned.
Connie blushed a little, "ok that may be the reason" she admitted.
Everyone began dancing and drinking, Connie and Jacob spending most of the evening kissing each other.
"Champagne?" Zoe said as she handed a glass out towards Connie.
"No thank you" Connie replied.
"You haven't drank any...Oh my god you're pregnant!" Zoe screamed louder than ever.
Everyone turned to look at Connie who began to blush and cuddle into Jacob.
"Thanks for that Zoe" he chuckled, knowing she was very drunk.
The end of the night arrived and everyone began to leave.
Jacob took Connie's hand in his and lead her towards the lift up to the hotel.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"I booked us a suit, there's things I want to do to you that I can't do with Grace in the house" he smirked before kissing her again.
