She smiles to herself and then leans down and kisses him. At first he is unreponsive, but after a second he opens her eyes and kiss her back. he cup her face as the kiss gets deeper. Suddenly she pulls away and smiles at him).
Jacob: good morning Sweet-cheeks.

Connie: yep. Will you make me a coffee please?
Jacob: hmm, I don't know bout that. Give me time to think it over. (she giggles and slaps his arm playfully) wha... did you just slap me?
Connie: yes I did, do you have a problem with that Staff Nurse Masters?
Jacob: nope (he suddenly, without warning flips them over so that he his on top of her. Connie giggles).
Connie: (laughing) be careful Jacob! (he kisses her neck then her left cheek and then finally her lips. She pulls away.) coffee. (he smirks and then climbs off the bed and is about to leave the room when he stops).
Jacob: oops, I almost forgot something.
Connie: what? What did you forget? (Jacob moves back over to the bed and removes the quilt to reveal Connie's 14 week baby bump. He crawls back onto the bed and rests his ear against the bump. Connie smiles down at him and the bump; she the places her left hand on his head and strokes him. He gasps) what? What is it?
Jacob: I felt him kick! (she smiles. he grabs her right hand and places it where he felt the baby kick, they wait a few seconds and Connie gasps and smiles).
Connie: I felt him kick too! (he lifts his head and places a soft kiss on the bump, then gets up off the bed. Connie gets up and puts on her dressing gown and follows Jacob out of the room. As Jacob goes downstairs, Connie walks to another door and opens it. Inside is a sleeping Grace. Connie makes her way over to the bed and wakes Grace up) Gracie, wake up sweetheart, if you want to come to the E.D, you have to get up now. (Grace stirs and stretches).

Jacob: ok. (Jacob walks over to the sink and turns on the tap, he rinces his hands under it and then turns around to Grace) hey Grace?
Grace: yeah. (he flicks water in her face and she squeals) oh! you are so dead! (Grace runs to the sink and flicks water on Jacob)
