They had been your average young married couple; and they adored their children to bits. But with Jack travelling a lot as a businessman the pressure began to build up, and in the end Martha and Jack had decided to call it quits, even though Martha was carrying their third child. Jack had taken the children for the weekend and they were due back later that day, Martha on the other hand was very frustrated, she was five days overdue, and the store she worked at had rung her up as she had forgotten to sign her maternity paperwork. In actual fact however, they were really throwing her a belated baby shower. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… “Look Matt im really sure I signed them” Martha sighed; walking into the back room with him. “I no you did, and that wasn’t why you needed to be here” Matt her boss said as he threw the door open. Suddenly, all of her friends were standing there shouting ‘surprise’, their arms waving in the air as they cheered at her arrival. “I sure hope the baby can wait till after the party” her best friend Kate, who was also Jacks sister, said to her. “Well I for one hope this baby hurry’s up” Martha said …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Jack pulled up in the car; as Martha and Kate came up behind him. “Look like we beat mum home” Jack joked “Sam it’s not that one” Imogen said to her big brother as he tried to unlock the door, but was unwinding the window instead “Imogen shut up” Sam said “Guys come on, mum won’t want this” Jack said.

I miss you too much and I want you back” Jack said “I miss you too” Martha truthfully ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

beckyboo Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Thanks to Rach! Tash this is for you to try and make it a little bit more clear Chapter 2 Martha, Kate and the kids were all on there way to the hospital. “This baby is trying to kick its way out” Martha joked Kate noticed how calm Martha appeared to be. And she was going into labour for goodness sake, how could she not be freaked! “Martha, are you not scared” Kate asked “Kate come on, what the hell is there to be scared of” “Well, that big thing!” she signalled to her stomach, “You have to push it out!” Kate exclaimed Martha laughed at her comment, “oh yeah, can you contact Jack as well, I don’t want him to miss this” …………………………………………………………………………………………………. Following their drive, they arrived at the hospital. Turning to Kate Martha asked if Hugh was on. “Ill go find out” Kate rushed up to the desk, checking too see if Hugh was available. Returning to Martha, she didn’t have good news, “he’s not on tonight” “Oh, ok, hey kids come here and give me a kiss, Aunt Kate’s gonna take you home now, and remember this is a happy time so don’t be scared ok. I love you both” she added ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Martha had now been in labour for 6 hours as the doctor came in to examine her, “Ok Mrs. Holden, your baby should weigh around 8 maybe 8 and half pounds” The doctor was then called away, rushing off into the delivery room where he was needed. Together Martha and the nurse listened to her baby’s strong heartbeat. Smiles fixed on both their faces as they listened in awe. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Half an hour later and the nurse signed off, handing over Martha’s records to the next available nurse. Two nurses at the desk both made a dash for the records, “I’ll take this one” Rachel Armstrong said sweetly, taking the records from out of her reach. She looked over at the records, reading the data very carefully, before realising it was Martha’s; this would be a lot easier than she 1st thought. Picking up the phone, she dialled a number “Hey it’s me, it has to be tonight” she said down the phone “Ok then” the other person replied “No screw ups Brad, or my necks on the line” Rachel then made her excuses and scooted off towards the medicine cupboard. Picking up the morphine and injecting it into the syringe. She needed it to enable for her to perform the operation. It was vital in the procedure; nothing could go wrong tonight! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Walking into Martha’s room, she headed straight for the drip, inserting the liquid into the tube. Brad then walked through the door; bringing along with him what appeared to be a picnic basket, sitting down on the bench he switch on the TV. He waited patiently for Rachel to complete the procedure, until eventually they could both go home. Preview…….what was Rachel doing?
