Happily ever after? (Complete)

A long day part 2

Connie and Jacob avoided each other for the next few hours, both believing that the other had been out of order. Jacob was treating a woman in cubicles after she fell down the stairs, but he was way too distracted to concentrate. Just as Jacob was shakily stitching a cut on the 40 year old's head, Dr.Chow walked in.
She noticed Jacob's shaky hand and frowned, "Jacob, is everything ok?" She asked walking closer to the bed. This distracted Jacob even more and his hand slipped. Luckily, he managed to stop himself from hurting the patient in the process. "Fuck!" He shouted, angry with himself for messing up like that. "I'm so sorry Mrs. Harris." Jacob whipped off his gloves and walked out of the room leaving a shocked patient and Dr.Chow behind him.

Connie was fiddling around with some files at reception when she noticed Jacob angrily storm out of cubicles. She watched on, confused, as he left through the hospital doors. Dr. Chow followed him out, wanting to find out what had angered the coolest guy in the department. "Dr. Chow what happened in there?" Connie approached lily.
"I'm not sure, I just walked in and Jacob was really shaky and then I asked if he was ok and his hand slipped as he was stitching the patient's wound." Connie immediately felt guilty, she didn't think he even cared about their argument 3hours earlier.
Just as Connie was letting the information sink in, Noel walked up to her. "Mrs. Beauchamp there's a V.I.P patient coming in 5." Great... That's all she needed right now. Connie sighed, walking out of the department to find Jacob.

Jacob was talking to Ian and Jez in the ambulance base about today. "I don't know what her problem was. I hadn't heard from my mum in months." Jacob threw the basketball in to the basket that hung on the wall, which made a swish sound as the ball went through.
"You just need to talk to her mate, she's probably just stressed from all the pregnancy and that. How long 'till the baby's due now?" Asked Jez picking up the basketball.
"1 month, it still hasn't really sunk in that I'm actually gonna be a dad." The boys noticed an ambulance pull up and thought that they should get back to work. Jacob noticed that the guy was cuffed to the bed. "Prisoner, great, really what I need right now." Sighed Jacob.
Ian smirked, "have fun mate."

Connie had to stop her search for Jacob when the ambulance pulled up. "Ok, what have we got?" The crew got the prisoner out of the ambulance and began to wheel him in.
"Alejandro Marquinos, 43, stab wounds to the left arm and leg."
"Right, Dr.knight and Robyn with me please." They wheeled the man into resus. His hair was a dark black and slicked back. He wore a matching moustache on his black and blue face. The prison must've really hated him for whatever he was in their for.
Jacob had returned to work after he'd cooled off, besides no-way was he letting his woman treat a prisoner. "Staff nurse Masters care to join us have you?" Connie didn't let her true feelings of relief that he hadn't done anything stupid show.
"Well I had to get involved in the drama didn't I?" Jacob played along to Connie's comment.
"Alejandro, can you tell me where the pain is?"Connie asked.
"Obviously my leg and arm where I was stabbed." He snarled with a strong Spanish accent.
"Hey show the Doc some respect yeah." Jacob couldn't stand this. Connie shouldn't be wasting her time on low-life's like him.
"I'd watch it if I were you big guy... I know a lot of people who could kill you and nobody would ever find out." He said through gritted teeth as Robyn applied pressure to the wound.
"Jacob, can I talk to you outside please?" Connie knew that if Jacob stayed then something was bound to kick off.
Jacob followed her out of resus. "Look, I'm going to ask you to leave the case-"
"What! Are you joking? No, I'm not going to do that."
"Please Jacob, your not focused enough today to be professional." Connie said gently, not wanting to start a fight.
"Oh and who's fault is that? You know that I haven't heard from my mum in weeks, so I'm sorry for answering the phone ok? And as for leaving the case, I'll go. But don't come crying back when you need me to fight your corners." Jacob began to walk away, already regretting what he just said.
"Oh yeah, because I really need you don't I. Y'know what, just go. I don't even care anymore." Jacob kept walking with angry tears springing at the back of his eyes. Connie walked back into resus to treat her patient, regretting the angry comments she said to him too.
