"Are you pregnant then or just fat?" An old lady asked Connie, who was treating a burn on her arm.
"Oh pregnant." Connie laughed awkwardly although the mean old woman didn't. Dorothy was 81 and was brought in from a care home after spilling her coffee on her arm. She had been rude to every doctor and nurse that she'd been in contact with since she arrived at the hospital today.
Connie was trying to get the job done as quickly as she could. She hadn't seen Jacob all day and was starting to miss him, however going 'quick' annoyed Dorothy even more. "Ow! This fat bitch is hurting me!" Dorothy shouted repeatedly as loud as possible, until somebody walked into the cubicle.
"Is everything ok?" Rita asked.
"Apparently I was hurting her. Now, you see Dorothy if I am going to help you, then it's going to sting a little bit." Connie said trying to stay professional. She hadn't stepped down as clinical lead yet and was planning to do so before she went on maternity leave.
"Hurry up then you stupid prick!" Dorothy snarled at Connie, who was gradually losing her patients with her.
"Rita, would you mind." Connie gestures towards Dorothy for Rita to take over. Rita hesitated, but then decided to relieve the stress off of Connie seen as she was pregnant, "ok I'll try."
"Thank you." Connie whipped off her gloves and walked out of the cubicle. She decided to find Jacob, they were going to have an ultrasound after their shift to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl and Connie couldn't wait. She spotted him in the staff room talking to Dr. Knight and decided to go and see him. Connie entered the staff room and Jacob turned to look at her straight away, like he knew it was her walking in.
"Hey beautiful." He smiled at her when Cal had moved away to give them some time alone.
"I haven't seen you all morning, they gave me the horrible old woman to deal with." She stepped closer to him and wrapped her arms around his back.
"Aw, you should've let me take her, I would've shut her up." Jacob rubbed her arm and Connie laughed at his comment.
"Anyway, are you excited for our scan later?" Connie asked.
"I can't wait... What do you want it to be?" Jacob felt her belly feeling their baby growing inside of her.
"I don't care what it is as long as it's healthy." She said seriously, covering Jacob's hand with hers on her belly. Their beautiful moment was interrupted too soon.
"Sorry to interrupt Mrs. Beauchamp, but Dorothy has hit Rita and nobody is willing to treat her." Dr. Chow stood at the doorway. Connie put a hand to her head and sighed, "ok, let me sort this out." She walked out of the staff room with Jacob following closely behind her.
"Right, Mrs. Felton you do understand that we cannot and will not treat you if you're assaulting our colleagues." Connie had walked into the cubicle where Dorothy was lying and shut the curtains behind her.
"Yes and I'm so sorry." She said sarcastically.
"Right, I'll have to treat you then won't I." Jacob stepped towards the bed and pulled on a pair of gloves.
"Well at least you've given me a good-looking one this time." Dorothy looked over at Connie, turning her nose up. Connie folded her arms, "Staff nurse Masters, just leave her she's not worth the hassle." Connie walked out before she could get anymore annoyed. Jacob being Jacob stayed to treat the patient even though this woman didn't deserve his time.
As Connie was making her way to her office, Elle walked up to her. "Connie-"
"Mrs. Beauchamp." Connie corrected still walking towards her office.
"Oh sorry. I was just wondering who would be taking over temporarily as clinical lead when you go on maternity leave." Elle tried to keep up with her.
"When I come back I won't be clinical lead anymore. Don't get too excited now will you." Connie entered her office and shut the door on Elle.
"All done. Now if you'll excuse me I have someone special that I need to see." Jacob thew his gloves in the bin and made his way out of the cubicle, not wanting to be there any longer then he had to.
He found Connie in her office sorting out a pile of paperwork. "Hey sweet-cheeks." He smiled walking into her office. "Ready to go?"
"Yep, I'll just grab my things. You go and get changed." She smiled back at him.
"Ok see you in a sec." He walked out to get changed.
Connie and Jacob walked up to the maternity ward hand-in-hand. It wasn't long before they were called through to a room, Connie was more nervous then Jacob, but she still couldn't wait to find out what the sex was.
She lied down on the bed and they had the usual chat with the midwife. "Ok, I'm going to put the gel on now."
It was cool on Connie's belly, but she soon got used to it. The midwife used the machine to see the baby on the ultrasound. "There you go, a nice strong heartbeat. Would you like to know the sex?" The couple nodded eagerly with tears in their eyes.
"well you've got yourself a lovely little boy to look forward to." The lady smiled at them. Jacob reached down and kissed Connie's forehead, this was the happiest moment of his life and they couldn't wait to tell Grace.
