It's the following morning since Cara has Jack and she is still in hospital waiting for Raf to come. She wakens to Jack crying so she gets up to see to him.

"Good morning my beautiful boy" Cara smiles as she picks him up and takes him back over to the bed and Cara gets back in.

He continues to cry and wriggles in her arms, "what's up wee man?" she coos. She strokes his cheek and decided to feed him.

While she is feeding him Raf comes back as he had gone home for the night.

Cara looks up as Raf walks into the ward and over to them, "morning" he smiles as he kisses her head and looks at Jack.

"Hi" she smiles.

"How did you sleep?" he asks as he sits on the chair beside her bed.

"Alright... Jack was golden he woke me a few times but... The woman in the next bed she couldn't shut her baby up for a good two hours" Cara says in a whispered tone.

"Oh dear, well hopefully you will be in your own bed soon and in the comfort of your own house" Raf laughs.

"Flat Raf... Flat" Cara says.

"Yes sorry flat" he says.

Cara smiles and rocks Jack a little "did your mum come last night?" Raf asks.

"No Lucy had a clarinet exam of some sort" Cara says. "She said she would call down today if she had time" Cara says.

Raf nods as she finishes feeding Jack and burps him before putting her top straight. "How are you?" she asks.

"I'm good, been looking at houses for us" he smiles.

"Really? You'll have to show me when I'm home" she smiles.

"Are you coming back to mine tonight?" she asks.

Cara smiles as Raf scoop Jack out of her arms and smiles. "Have you been a good boy for mummy?" Raf coos.

Cara smiles and lies back on the bed. "How are you feeling?" Raf asks as he rocks Jack.

"Just tried and I need a shower" Cara says. "I'm rather sore too but its to be expected" she says.

"I'll watch jack why don't you go for a shower make yourself presentable before your mum and sister get here" Raf says.

"No it's fine" she smiles.

"No go on, why don't you have a bath and relax for a bit?" he smiles.

Cara stares at him "a shower will be fine" she says as she gets out of bed and grabs the wash bag Raf has got her.

Raf smiles, "see you in a bit" he says as he kisses her cheek.

Cara goes for a shower and Raf sits quietly with Jack. He sits nursing him and smiles.

Raf smiles as he looks across at another dad on the ward who is also holding a baby while the mum sleeps.

"I could just sit and admire these little ones all day" the man pipes up to Raf.

"Same" Raf smiles happily.

"We have four" the man smiles.

"Oh woah, girls or boys?" he asks.

"One girl, three boys" he replies to Raf.

"Oh lovely, what's their names?" he asks.

"Molly, Henry, Cameron and this little one Jack" he says.

"Oh really? This ones called Jack too" Raf smiles.

"Aw it's a lovely name" the man smiles.

"Dan" the man introduces himself.

"Raf" He smiles back.

"How's Jack getting on then?" Dan asks.

"Great considering her was born in the back of the car" raf smiles.

Dan laughs, "that happened to us once" he says.

"Our little Molly was born in the car... Totally surprised us both" Dan smiles.

"Jack suprised us both, he was early" Raf laughs.

Dan smiles "our Jack was a week late" he smiles.

"Oh I see" Raf smiles.

"How old are you kids?" Raf asks.

"Molly is three, Henry is eight and Cameron is thirteen" Dan smiles.

"Aw that's lovely" Raf smiles. "Jacks our first" Raf adds.

"It's great having kids, keeps you busy" Dan laughs.

"We're way to busy for more..." Raf says.

Dan smiles, "looks like your Mrs is back" he says.

Raf looks over at Cara who is in a clean change of pyjamas and a dressing grown, her hair is slightly wet still but she looks presentable.

"Hello you" he smiles and Cara frowns.
"Oh dear what's wrong with you?" he laughs. "Come on spill" Raf says.

"I'm just tired and sore that's all" she says as she gets back into bed.

Raf places Jack back in his cot and comes over to Cara and hugs her. Cara smiles a little and hugs him back.
