New Years Eve 2020:

Her hair bounced around in the wind, it was warming her cold heart even though her arms were covered in goosebumps because the roof was hardly the warmest of places to be. All she needed was breathing space to think and collect her thoughts, she watched as the sky turned dark and somehow her eyes fluttered shut in tiredness but she didn't succumb. Instead, she clasped her slender fingers around the reusable coffee cup she brought before scrunching her nose at the fact there was tea in it. Groaning she downed it anyway just needing warmth in her body. Her phone buzzed and she pulled it out with a small smile seeing Kian's contact light up the screen saying that he was missing her. She chuckled slightly and shook her head knowing they hadn't been separate for a long time. Maybe that was the problem, maybe thats why she felt like this but if she was honest with herself she didn't know how she felt but she found herself going back downstairs and onto Darwin, she sits at the nurse's station before going on the computer.

"Hey," Kian says softly before yawning, Jac smiles at him before turning her head back to the screen "Where were you?"

"Clearing my head," she says quietly and Kian smiles at her, he gets up and massages her shoulders gently "I wish you could do that forever"

"We have forever," he says gently before sitting down in the spare chair "Three hours until the clock strikes twelve"

"Three hours of saving lives, sometimes I question why I still do this" she shakes her head and Kian smiles at her "You make it that bit better you know"

"Just like you make my world complete," Kian says and Jac smiles at him "Anyway I've run scans like you asked me to, they're still not back so I've given more pain relief"

"Good" she confirms and rubs her forehead "I can't wait to just go home and put this awful year behind us"

"I'll be there, every step of the way," he says and she looks at him with a wide smile before biting her lip "Let's get on and work then hopefully all this will go a whole lot quicker"

"Yeah" she nods before turning around and smiling to herself, she shakes her head and fiddles with the pen in her fingers unable to get the daft grin she had off her face...


All patients were settled and both Jac and Kian had done their job, they were sitting in the office with Jac sitting between Kian's legs as he stroked her hair. An hour before the sky would be lit up with fireworks and they were just lying there holding each other not wanting to change it for the world. No one was around and this was their time to have some peace and quiet before everything kicked off in the sky. They knew everyone was out celebrating, they knew that they could have gone but they didnt want to, they were just happy being them lying in each other's arms. Kian was kissing her on the head every now and then as they spoke in hushed tones, she turned around and kissed him softly on the lips and he started to rub her back gently as she opened her eyes to look at him and just as she did the clock struck midnight their lips connected.

"I love you," he says pulling away and she nods slowly

"I love you too," she says quietly and closes her eyes before wincing at the bright colours filling the office, he runs his fingers through her hair "I have something to tell you"

"What?" he questions and Jac looks up at him before sliding off the sofa, she goes into her handbag and bites her lip before rummaging around her bag, she pulls out a rectangular box and passes it to Kian who raises his eyebrows "Jac..."

"I don't know anything yet," she says quietly and Kian breathes out "I know the timing isn't exactly great either but we know nothing for sure do we"

"I thought you were..." he trails off and Jac nods slowly "So how did this...I don't mean that in a bad way...I don't know"

"It's been stressful hasn't it...these past few months and I missed my pill a fair few times and we haven't been able to keep our hands off each other," she lists, Kian nods slowly before raising his eyebrows at her last comment "What's that look for?"

"Well I mean, we were going at it like rabbits weren't we? That's what they say right?"

"Hilarious" she nods sarcastically, her eyes wincing at the arrangement of bright colours and lights filling the room "I just thought that you should know, we promised to tell each other everything and this is everything I have to tell you"

"Are you scared?" he asks opening the box, she shrugs slightly and he smiles at her as he takes the test out of the box, he reads the instructions and smiles slightly and takes it out of the wrapper "Just take it and we'll go from there, there's no point in panicking until we know the result"

"This is going to sound kind of weird..." she trails off and Kian raises his eyebrows "Would you...I don't know come with me to do it?"

"Of course," he says taking her hand, he brings her in for a hug and holds her "Whatever happens, I'll be there by your side"

"I know you will" she nods as they leave the office, they head down to the toilets and enter, she breathes out and Kian smiles as she locks the door, he looks in the mirror and just stares into it until Jac came out of the cubicle "Done"

"Where is..."

"In my pocket" she nods and Kian smiles at her, she washes her hands and Kian continues to smile at her "Are you ok?"

"Yeah it's just a bit of a shock," he says and Jac nods slowly "How long do we need to wait-"

"Two minutes so we could go back to the office?" she questions biting her lip, Kian nods holding the door open, she exits and he follows her until they reach the office, she closes the door and wraps her hand around the pregnancy test, she places it face down on the coffee table as they sit beside each other

"This could change so much," he says looking at her, she nods slowly "It's crazy how one word could change everything"

"Yep," she nods slowly before looking at him "Do you want to do it?"

"Um" he falters before looking at her, she nods to the test and he goes to pick it up, he raises it so he could read it, he looks at Jac who had her eyes closed, he takes her hand and she opens her eyes as he turns the test around for her to look at and her hand went up to her mouth in shock "Congratulations"

"I don't...I won't..." she trails off and Kian smiles at her "I genuinely didn't think...I didn't even feel..."

"Sometimes these things happen," he says gently wrapping his arms around her body, she sobs into his shoulder and he smiles slightly "We'll be fine, I'm not going anywhere"

"I'm pregnant," she says in disbelief and Kian nods looking at the test and smiling "Are you ok with being a dad?"

"Only if you're ok with being a mum, again" he tilts his head and Jac laughs slightly wiping her eyes, he examines the test "How about I run some bloods just to make sure you are pregnant, I'll do them now under a different name"

"I couldn't ask you to do that"

"Jac, I'm doing this and then we'll find out when we start our shift, I'll make sure they get put in my tray just there and no one will get hold of them" he points to his desk and she nods before looking down at the test "It'll be ok, I'm here and I want to help you get through this and whatever the outcome is I'll be there"

"Thank you," she says softly and Kian kisses her on the forehead allowing her to wrap her arms around his body, he lifts her up onto his lap and they look at each other in the eyes "I'm sorry about dropping all of this on you"

"Hey, it takes two tango" he smirks and she laughs slightly resting her head against his shoulder, she kisses him on the neck as another arrangement of fireworks light up the sky, his hand slides under her top and he moulds it around her stomach "And whatever happens, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere"

"I know," she says softly and Kian kisses her on the top of the head "Shall we go home?"

"If you want, I can do your bloods now then we can go home," he says quietly and Jac nods getting off his lap, he kisses her on the top of the head before leaving the room, he returns and sits down on the coffee table, she offers her arm out

"Don't miss the vein" she raises her eyebrows, Kian scoffs at her and does it perfectly causing her to pull a face as he draws her blood "Not too much"

"Gosh you're so annoying" Kian mutters and Jac smirks at him as he takes the needle out of her, she presses the cotton wool down on her arm "Right now that's done, can we get out of here?"

"Yeah" she whispers and Kian smiles at her grabbing some surgical tape, he tapes the cotton wool to her arm and then kisses it "I'm not a child"

"Hey chill Naylor, just showing affection," he says and Jac rolls her eyes and bites her lip as she grabs her coat, she picks up the pregnancy test and sighs slightly and Kian stands in front of her "It'll be ok"

"I hope so, I really do, not just because of what happened when I was pregnant with Emma but because I want this for our future and hers"

"Well you're stuck with me Naylor," he says softly brushing her hair behind her ear "Back to yours, or mine?"

"Mine" she confirms and Kian links his arm through hers as they walk down the corridor, the both of them pausing to look at each other before smiling and walking off again to their future...
