Jacs pov:
I felt like I'd pushed Fletch out again. I sobbed, feeling useless. I was useless. I picked up my phone, tears still streaming down my cheeks.
I had a text, from Fletch.
Text read: Fletch , at 8am:
F: when you wanna talk, I'm here. Just text me when you need me. x

I sighed. Why did he care so much? Why did I  care if he cared. Yeah, we loved each other but i was still Jac Naylor.
Still up to fight anyone who got in the way of me, my daughter or my ward.
I typed back saying,
J: when you get a chance then sure.
I didn't put any kisses.
It wasn't the time.
I just sat in silence, staring at my 4 walls.
4 walls.
It was like being enclosed.
I just wanted to be free again on my ward. My department.
Suddenly, Zosia walked in. I smiled.
"Hey Zosh." I said softly.
"Hey, Fletch says your a bit grumpy."she laughed.
"A bit. I miss Emma." I sighed.
"Well, I hope you don't mind but Johnny said it was okay." She said, opening the door.
In stepped little Emma Naylor.
"Mummy!!" She said, clutching her pink rabbit. She ran to the bed and clambered into my arms.
"Hello baby." I said, hugging her tightly,"Thankyou Zosh."
Zosia smiled and sat down.
"I'll take her to the crèche after, or maybe she can skip it and me and her can go for a big ice cream?" She grinned.
"Yeah, she can skip the crèche why not."I laughed, sitting up.
Emma sat back reaching into her backpack and pulling out a card.
"Me and Theo made it." She said, grinning. Her little dimples were showing as I opened the car. It read:
To mummy,
Sorry I made you Ill
Please come home soon
I miss you
Love Emma Naylor Xx
And Theo says hi

I smiled, tears in my eyes. She thought she made me ill?
"Don't be silly baby, you didn't make mummy Ill." I said, hugging Emma tight.
"Then why won't you come home..." she said solemnly.
How did she explain this one?
