A/N: Zosia is now 12 weeks, Sunday 30th March, thanks to RainbowChaser90 who's helped me out with EDD and stuff :) anyway I jumped ahead as I didn't really have that many ideas for the next to 2 weeks and Dom's mum is Zosia's MW and they'll be some fluff with stuff like that in the later chapters.
12:00pm
Zosia looked at the clock it read 12:00pm she was due for her twelve week scan at 13:00pm and she felt her gut fill with dread, she was dreading it because there was a possibility that the baby might not even be there but she tried to shake that feeling out of her head. Zosia approached the nurses's station when she saw Arthur looking very happy at Ms Campbell, "So 13:00pm you want me to assist Mr Griffin?" Arthur asked and Zosia's heart sank he looked so happy, something she hadn't seen in a while, "Great I can't wait," Arthur then ran over to Zosia, "Wow I've just been to assist in an amazing procedure."
"Lucky you," Zosia swalled the lump forming in her throat and Serena walked over to the nurses station, "How long is it for?" Zosia asked trying to sound as happy as she could.
"Six hours," Arthur answered and Zosia smiled, "When is the twelve week scan?" Arthur asked.
"Tomorrow," Zosia lied...not wanting to ruin Arthur's new found happiness, "13:00pm," Zosia hadn't fooled Serena and once he was gone Serena approached Zosia.
"I've just got the feeling I've ruined a twelve week scan," Serena said and Zosia said nothing, "I can always get Doctor Cope-"
"Arthur's been really down since Chantelle...he's happy...I don't want to be the one to ruin that," Zosia said and Serena raised an eyebrow, "What?"
"What makes you think he'll be so disappointed?" Serena asked.
"He's got the chance to assist in a massive procedure...something that could really help with his career...you work it out."
"Have you got anyone to come with you?" Serena asked concerned and Zosia shook her head, "Your mother?"
"Stuck with my father in theatre."
"Colette?"
"No...she's nothing to do with me," Zosia slammed files down and sighed, "I'm a big girl, I can do things on my own."
"Nonsense...I had George with me...since Edward was stuck in theatre...I'll come with you, no one should do this alone," Serena offered and she saw Zosia's face look relieved, "One o'clock?"
Zosia nodded before going to speak, "Ms Campbell."
"Yes?" Serena asked.
"Thank you."
...
At 12:45 Zosia was biting her nails and drawing circles on the top of her wrist, "Twleve week scan today isn't it?" Dom approached Zosia and Zosia went tense, "Why did you lie to Arthur?"
"Did you see how happy he was?" Zosia asked and Dom nodded - he knew where this was going, "How can I ruin that."
"He'd be seeing his baby...correct me if I'm wrong how could that ruin his day?" Dom asked and Zosia folded her arms, "At least let me come with you."
"I already have someone," Zosia said and Dom frowned everyone she knew was busy, "Ms Campbell."
"Ms Campbell? You'd chose Ms Campbell over your baby's father and me?" Dom asked and Zosia nodded, "Why?"
"Because she's been in my position, knows how I feel, and my mum's in theatre with my dad so it makes sense," Zosia answered and then she checked her phone, it read 12:50 but she really wanted to get away, "I'm going to be late...excuse me," Zosia then walked away leaving Dom to feel upset for Zosia and annoyed at Arthur for forgetting.
Zosia met Serena and sighed, "Nervous?" Serena asked knowingly and Zosia nodded, "You should also feel excited...but I understand what you're going through...whilst we wait want to listen to some music?" Serena offered and Zosia smiled, "Do you know Rosanne Cash?"
"I've heard of Johnny Cash," Zosia answered and she placed the left earphone in her left ear.
I went to Barcelona on the midnight train
I walked the streets of Paris in the pouring rain
I flew across an island in the northern sea
And I ended up in Memphis, Tennessee
"I like it," Zosia answered and Serena smiled, "Is the album on iTunes?"
"I'll lend you River And The Thread to rip if you want?" Serena offered and Zosia nodded, "What music do you like?"
"Loads though I mostly listen to Fleetwood Mac, Matchbox Twenty, Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith: Because The Night and Space Monkey those I listen to most and I like Sex Pistols," Zosia answered and Serena looked impressed, "Oh and The Eagles and Grace Slick...my dad when I was about ten introduced me to Patti Smith my mother was not impressed when I started singing a song with a inappropriate lyric, I can't repeat."
"Doctor Zosia March?" her name was called and Zosia felt sick with worry, "We're ready to see you...you can bring your mum in with you?"
"We're not related I'm just here to give Zosia moral support," Serena said and she pushed ever so slightly on her back, "It's alright."
...
Zosia entered the dim lit room and was asked to lie on the bed, "Hello Zosia I'm Doctor Sanders I will be performing your 12 week scan today," Doctor Sanders had her red hair tied up in a bun and had a friendly face, "If you could tuck this into the top of your trousers," Doctor Sanders gave her a white paper towel which Zosia tucked in and then she looked over at Serena.
"It's OK," Serena said like she did to Eleanor when she was nervous or upset about something.
"Right welcome to your 12 week scan," Doctor Sanders then switched on the machine and then she smiled her dimples showing through her cheeks, "If you could-"
"Ahead of you," Zosia said as her top was rolled up.
"OK," Doctor Sanders squeezed gel onto the probe and then said to Zosia, "This might be a bit cold," Doctor Sanders warned and then she placed the probe onto Zosia's abdomen which had swollen a little from the uterus moving from her pelvis and into the abdomen but it didn't signify that she was pregnant and then moved it around her abdomen and then on the screen showed the baby and Zosia looked taking in the image on the screen, that was her baby inside her on the screen, "And if you look here, there's baby's heart beating," Doctor Sanders pointed to the screen and Zosia looked at the screen, she felt her lips immediately go into a small smile, "And here's the brain."
"Shame we could've got your father in here observing," Serena joked and Zosia automatically laughed.
"And here is the head," Doctor Sanders said and Zosia looked closely, "See?"
"Yeah...it's...I can't believe it's in there," Zosia said and she smiled.
"You can also see baby's arms and legs," Doctor Sanders said and Zosia then looked down at the probe on her abdomen and then back up at the screen, the Doctor Sanders then checked the fluid around baby's neck which was a normal, checked the heart was functioning properly which it was and then measured baby crown to rump. The scan showed all was well which gave Zosia the relief she was hoping for, though it hit her that it didn't mean something couldn't be picked up at twenty weeks. Then Doctor Sanders printed out a ultrasound picture for Zosia, "Here you go."
"Could you print out another?" Zosia asked and Doctor Sanders then gave the second picture and handed it to Zosia, "Thank you," Zosia used the paper towel she tucked into the top and wiped the gel off her stomach.
"Can I take a look?" Serena asked and Zosia nodded before giving her the scan, "I put all mine in a shoe box...decorated but it was special."
"I haven't thought about it," Zosia said.
"If you ever feel embarrassed to tell your mum or Arthur anything...knock on my office door, I know how it feels," Serena said maternally and Zosia was shocked by the caring tone in her voice.
"Thank you," Zosia said softly and Serena gave her back the scan, "And thank you," Zosia said to Doctor Sanders.
...
Zosia after having her bloods taken and coming back clear to check for any blood diseases, she walked back onto the ward where Dom raced over to her, "So let's see," Dom demanded and Zosia pulled them both into the staffroom, "Show me."
"Here," Zosia gave him the scan and Dom looked at it, "It's a baby scan Dom," Zosia said arms folded as Dom looked at it closely, "Can I have it back now?"
"Here...so how did it go," Dom asked.
"No abnormalities...yet," Zosia said sadly and Dom frowned, "Well twenty week scan they might pick up something there."
"Come on Zosh pregnancy is supposed to be...well I don't really know but don't spend the whole pregnancy worrying about it...make the most of being childless...soon you'll be a walking milk factory and waking up at stupid o'clock...so make the most of it," Dom squeezed her shoulder and Zosia sat at the table, "Want a drink?"
"No."
"Something to eat?" Dom asked and he pulled out biscuits and Zosia held her hand out, "Thank god your appetite is back," he dropped two digestives into her hand, "So are you going to tell Artie when he's out of surgery of a lifetime?"
"I'm gonna have to," Zosia answered and Dom sat down next to her, "What are you doing whilst Arthur is out improving his surgical skills?"
"Hasn't it hurt you that he forgot?" Dom asked curiously.
"I grew up with a doctor for a father...what was important to me, was never as important to him...so I'm used to getting let down," Zosia answered and Dom didn't know how to look, "So no it hasn't."
"But your mum cared?" Dom asked and Zosia nodded, "So?"
"Do you really think after seeing my mother get as ill as she has in the past, even though when I have problems and she helps...don't you think I still get 'don't worry your mother' 'find a friend to talk to' swirling round every squiggle, nerve, of my brain?" Zosia asked and Dom took her hand, "Sorry...I don't usually talk about it as I feel...selfish."
"Everyone has feelings Zosh even you," Dom said kindly and Zosia sighed and the door opened revealing Colette.
"You remind me of Luke," Colette said and Dom frowned but Zosia smiled, "I always found squi- Zosh and Luke in very comforting positions but it wasn't like that."
"Luke my best friend," Zosia reminded Dom and nodded remembering who she meant, "You think I should've got Arthur don't you?"
"I can understand why, but Arthur's not your father...he would've gone with you," Dom said and Zosia nodded, "Not all of us are like your dad...surgeon wise I would love to be."
"What's this?" Colette asked as she overheard the conversation and Colette saw the scan in Zosia's hand, "Was that your twelve week scan today?"
"Yes," Zosia answered and Colette held her hand out, "Don't tell Arthur."
"Why...wait let me guess...you lied telling him it was a different day to avoid letting him miss a procedure?" Colette asked and Zosia looked confused, "Your mother did the same."
"Really?" Zosia asked and Colette nodded.
"I ended up going to the twelve week scan with her and then when your dad found out...I performed a basic scan as he felt disappointed he missed it quite cute actually," Colette then looked at scan and smiled before giving it back to Zosia, "How about I do the same for you?" Colette asked and Zosia looked unsure, "You can tell Arthur...once he's out and then if you want I can do it for you."
"Why are you being so nice?" Zosia asked confused and Colette sat down, "Why?"
"Tell Arthur and once you have Doctor Copeland can get me...I don't think Arthur will want to wait until twenty weeks," Colette said and Zosia smiled, "Have you seen your mum?"
"Nope she's still in theatre with dad...why?"
"Wouldn't they want to know about your scan today?" Colette asked and Zosia sighed, "And don't forget about Arthur."
...
Finally Arthur was out of theatre and was estactic, "It was amazing! Just amazing oh if you could've been there," Arthur grinned and Zosia smiled, "Anyway we had a team from America and it was just amazing!"
"Arthur I need to tell you something," Zosia said and Arthur raced around the desk looking frantic, "It's nothing serious...I wasn't honest with you when the scan was."
"What?" Arthur asked and Zosia sighed, "When was it? Why?"
"Because I didn't want you to miss out...on the-"
"Zosia...our baby is more important than some procedure...Zosia when is it?" Arthur asked as he felt his heart deflate, "It was today?" he guessed, "Zosia."
"I'm sorry," Zosia said and Arthur sighed and Zosia felt her phone vibrate: Dom - Side room three xx, "Come with me."
"Why?" Arthur asked and Zosia grabbed his wrist then dragged him, "Zosia...what?" Arthur asked as she pulled him in, "This isn't the right time for."
"You missed the first scan," Zosia said and Arthur nodded, 'Colette's offered to do us a basic scan...it showed no abnormalities today...so do you want to see your baby?"
"Right. Yes. Of course," Arthur answered and Zosia then walked over to the bed, "Colette's not-"
"It's a basic scan there were no abnormalities," Zosia reassured and Arthur relaxed and Dom walked over, "Yes?"
"Mind if I watch?" Dom asked and Zosia sighed, "Alright I'll go."
"No it's fine," Zosia said and Arthur not wanting to stress Zosia out agreed, "Let's get it over and done with."
"You know the drill?" Colette asked and Zosia nodded she grabbed the paper towel and put it between the waist line of her trousers, and rolled her top up, "OK...ready?" Colette squeezed the gel onto the probe and then placed it onto Zosia's abdomen, "Cold?"
"Kind of," Zosia answered and then she looked at the screen, "And we meet again."
"Wow," Arthur said as he looked at the screen and his eyes were fixated, "That's weird..."
"Weirder for Zosh...it's growing inside her," Dom said and Zosia sighed, "Sorry not helping."
"Squishy is having a squishy," Colette said out loud and she realised what she said, the look on Zosia's face was dumbfounded, "Sorry."
"Squishy? Have you been watching Finding Nemo?" Dom asked and Colette said nothing, "Aww you were Squishy...so Selfie, Zoshie and Squishy."
"Call me any of those and I will kick you where it hurts," Zosia threatened and Dom stepped back, "Give the picture to Arthur."
"When are you going to announce it?" Dom asked and Zosia shrugged, "I'd do it before you get the size of a house."
"Well thanks you're a real mate," Zosia then felt the probe being taken away and she used the paper towel to wipe the gel off, "I won't get that big will I?"
"Not the size of a house no," Colette answered and Zosia looked at Arthur, "Right I'll leave you two or three to it."
"Colette," Zosia said and the nurse looked at the F1 in front of her, "Thank you."
"Tell your parents though OK," Colette ordered and Zosia nodded, "Sometime today would be good."
...
Serena approached Zosia on the ward and gave her the Rosanne Cash CD, "Bring it back though..." Serena warned and Zosia took it.
"Thanks...listen...thank you joining me earlier...I really appreciated it."
"Stop with the thank yous...there's no need to thank me...have you told Doctor Digby yet?" Serena asked and Zosia nodded, "What did he say?"
"That our baby is more important than any procedure...and Colette gave us a basic scan," Zosia answered and Serena then smiled and left the F1 to what she was doing.
...
"Well today's been interesting," Guy said to Anya and he placed his hands on her shoulders, and rubbed his thumbs up and down her shoulders, but they were interrupted, "Come in!" Guy ordered to who just knocked on his office door, the door opened and Zosia walked in, "Zoshie."
"I thought you two might want to see this," Zosia said as she approached the desk, before pulling the scan out of her pocket them she put it on the desk.
"Twelve weeks today?!" Guy asked and Zosia nodded, and Anya picked it up before looking at it, "Everything OK?"
"So far yes," Zosia answered and she sat on the desk, "But there's still the twenty week scan to pick up anything."
"Who went with you?" Anya asked curiously, "As I heard Arthur-"
"Ms Campbell came with me...she urr...had no idea about today and she offered so I took it."
"What are you hoping for?" Anya asked curiously and Zosia shrugged, "You OK?"
"Arthur said that our baby is more important...it just makes me feel...I don't know," Zosia laughed at her own stupidity as she was getting emotional over this.
"Well I'm glad," Guy said as he took the scan and looked at it, "What did you think of the brain?" Guy asked curiously and Zosia rolled her eyes, "What?"
"There's all the other things and you ask about the brain," Anya answered for Zosia and Guy shrugged, "When you going home?"
"As soon as my shift ends...did you ever find the scans scary?" Zosia asked and Anya held her arms out and Zosia got off the desk and walked over to her mother, before hugging her.
"Only the build up and then the wait but then when the told me everything was OK...I was fine," Anya said and Zosia smiled, "Though I question your sanity for liking Patti Smith...though that's your father's influence."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Guy said as he worked on his laptop and smiled lightly as Anya glared at him.
"I best get back to Keller but I thought you'd want to have a look...did Colette ever call me 'Squishy'?" Zosia asked as she took the scan back, then put it in her pocket.
"When you were a tiny baby yes," Anya replied, "Why?"
"She said 'Squishy's having a squishy' earlier...I just wondered...though that's another thing for Dom to wind me up with."
"What else is there?" Anya asked curiously.
"Zoshie, Selfie and now Squishy...though he likes sending snapchats saying 'Selfie with a Selfie'," Zosia said and she shook her head, "Ridiculous surname couldn't be something normal could it?" Zosia asked and Guy lifted his head up, "Well it's true."
"Hormones settling in well?" Guy asked and he smiled but Zosia threw him a death stare, "I can't help my surname Zosia."
"Zosia Self...arghh," Zosia then stormed out and then walked back onto Keller where she found Serena and Ric listening to music, on her iPod and observed them. Though she then decided to go into the staffroom and laid down on the sofa stroking her barely noticeable pregnant abdomen, "Because the night belongs to lovers , Because the night belongs to lust , Because the night belongs to lovers, Because the night belongs to us," Zosia sang and sighed, "I can't help but like these songs...not my fault...though there's one song which I am not aloud to sing and I now see why mama was angry...oh that reminds me I probably tell Luke," Zosia said and she pulled out her phone, before texting to Luke: Got something to tell you, but can we meet up? xxxx Luke: Sure, Zoshie you OK? xxxxxxx Zosia: Best face to face xxxx
A/N: I liked writing this chapter as it was fluffy, so Zosia tells Luke next will he be the one to break her free of nerves? And when should Zosia and Arthur announce that Zosia's pregnant? Next chapter with Luke or a separate chapter? Let me know, also anyone got any cute fluffy Zarthur ideas? Like just them two? Reviews are welcome, thanks to those reviewing. THANKS TO RAINBOWCHASER90 YOU'RE A MASSSIVE HELP :D xxxx
