Zosia slowly opened her eyes, trying to get her bearings as to where she was.

Then as she felt the hand in hers, she remembered.

"Jac," she whispered as her head shot up quickly.

And as she looks at her mentor, colleague,,, friend?,,, tears threaten as she remembers what happened hours before.

How many hours she is unsure.

Suddenly, the door opened. And in walked her father.

"Zosia, you're still here," he says in surprise.

"Yeah, I,,, needed to be here," she replies. "For Jac."

And he looked at her quizzically.

"I lost my best friend yesterday, and now I might lose someone else," she continues.

"Yes, I was so sorry to hear about Arthur," he replies as he comes over to check Jac's vitals and shine a penlight to her eyes.

"Any change?" she asks.

"No," he replies. "I'm sorry."

And she looks at him with confusion.

"I guess you do care," she says.

He sighs deeply before responding.

"Zosia, yes I have several different feelings regarding Ms. Naylor, professionally and personally, however,,," he says as he moves to her side.

"I am aware of,,, what she means to you," he says.

And after a moment, she realizes his meaning.

"You saw me with her yesterday," she says.

"Yes, I did," he replies, almost embarrassed. "I'm glad you had someone there for you."

"Me too," she says. "Jac was there for me when no one else was. Not you, or Ollie or Dom. She held me, let me cry, then took me to her home. And now,,,"

She then turns to Jac, tears threatening.

"I need the chance to help her, like she helped me," she whispers.

"Well, we've done everything medically possible," he replies as he slowly touches his daughters' shoulder.

"The rest is up to her."

Zosia sighs heavily as she nods.

"She needs to wake up, and recover."

"For Holby City, her friends, her patients, and me and,,," she rambles a bit then stops with a gasp.

"Emma."

And at that, a knock came to the window to the room.

They turn and see Jonny holding a wide-eyed Emma.

Zosia waves them in as Guy opens the door to leave.

"How is she," Jonny whispers as they enter.

"The same," Guy replies. He then turns to Zosia.

"I'll check on her later," he says. "Get some rest Zosia, please."

She just nods as he leaves, closing the door behind him.

"Mommy?" Emma suddenly says as she looks at Jac.

Zosia motions to the chair for Jonny to sit, Zosia standing near the window, giving them time.

As they sit down, Emma suddenly reaches for Jac's hand.

"Why is Mommy here?" Emma asks.

"Em, Mommy is very sick right now but she's getting the best help," Jonny replies.

"Her,,, head?" she asks pointing to the bandage.

Yes, sweetie. She has a boo-boo in her head," he says. "And now she's sleeping to help it get better."

"When she waked up?" the little girl asks.

Jonny looks at Zosia, unsure what to say.

Zosia moves to them and crouches down next to Emma.

"Hopefully soon Em," she replies.

Emma then turns to her.

"Can I kiss,,, Mommy's boo-boo," she asks. "She do that for me when I have a boo-boo and I feel better. I can help her,now."

And Jonny and Zosia smile.

"Sure,Em ," Zosia replies.

So Jonny stands up and leans Emma over the bed gently.

And she gives a soft kiss to Jac's bandaged head.

"I love you, Mommy," she whispers.

And Zosia has to turn away to wipe the tears. As does Jonny.

Then, Emma yawns.

"Hey, what say we get you home for bed, Emma," Jonny asks.

"Can I come tomorrow to see Mommy?" she asks.

"Yes sweetie, you can," he replies.

As they get up, Jonny looks at Zosia.

"Please let me know of any changes and I'll bring her tomorrow," he says.

"I will, thank you Jonny," she replies.

And as Jonny starts to head to the door, Emma suddenly reaches out and grabs Zosia.

And hugs her tightly.

"Good night Zoshi," she whispers.

"Good night face-ache," she replies with a smile, even with tears falling.

And using Jac's nickname for her little girl.

Because it's perfect for her.

After they leave, Zosia turns back to the bed and moves to the chair.

And she takes the left hand gently.

"She is definitely your daughter," she says smiling.

"My face aches right now," she continues with a chuckle.

She pulls Jac's hand up to her cheek.

"She needs you so much," she whispers. "She needs her mommy."

"And I need my,,, friend."

And as her eyes close with tears falling, suddenly,,,

She feels that left hand move.

And squeeze her hand.
