A/N: OK so Zosia is now 20 weeks and there's gonna be a part one and two to this since it's an adventure chapter as well as Zosia's scan etc. It is now May 25th :) it'll make sense.
8 weeks ago
Zosia walked into her father's office then shut the door before standing in front of his desk, she looked around it; full of messed up paperwork and folders that needed sorting clear that Anya had tried to sort out his jumble of paperwork but Guy had done what he does best and jumbled it up again. Though through the paperwork mess was a photo collage of various photos: Guy and Anya, Zosia as an infant, toddler and child, wedding day photos, new years parties, and a full family photo, "What's going on Zoshie?" Guy asked. Anya walked in with Arthur and they sat down together on the sofa.
"Don't call me that," Zosia argued but then she sighed and looked up at her father, "Why didn't you tell mama about your family history of Spina Bifida before twenty weeks?" Zosia asked and Arthur looked confused and also worried. Arthur thought she was going to say about the earlier scare but this was a shock.
"Zosia," Anya said softly she knew that her daughter was worried but dragging up old history would cause unnecessary drama, "You need to calm down...OK."
"It would've caused your mother worry...and I didn't want to put extra stress on her. You were fine when born so all the worry just would've been unnecessary...your mother's right you need to calm down, it'll just worry both you and Doctor Digby," Guy explained and Zosia placed her hand to her mouth before letting out a cry; her day had been stressful and exhausting, she just needed rest but she needed to talk to her dad. Guy stood up and walked over to her and held his arms out; Zosia being the way she was accepted the hug as she hugged her dad she cried into his shoulder, "I had a scare earlier."
"Is everything OK?" Guy asked concerned and he went to pull away but Zosia didn't move.
"Everything's fine...but what if it's a sign...that something is wrong?" Zosia asked and she pulled her head away, "What if...it's natures way of telling-"
"But you're fine...the baby's fine..." Arthur added even though he was now feeling worried.
"But you don't know the Arthur!" Zosia shouted and she sighed heavily, "I'm just feeling ill and tired...I just want to go home."
"Let me drop you two home and I'll stay with you," Anya suggested and Zosia nodded, "You'll be OK."
"Zosia I'm making you take a week off...I don't want to see you until you're properly feeling better," Guy ordered and Zosia nodded she was exhausted and all she wanted to was sleep. Guy sat down at his desk and began to think: He was going to be a granddad, he never expected to since Zosia was not the mother type, she never played with dolls or showed any maternal instincts as a child; he hadn't prepared himself for grandchildren so he researched on Google: How to be a granddad? he thought to himself If only they had this type of thing when Zosia was little, maybe Iwould've been a better father.
May 25th Sunday 09:00am
Zosia was now twenty weeks pregnant she now had a bump which was very noticeable even under scrub tops and Holby hoddie, she had been experiencing embarrassing pregnancy side effects such as: constipation and then suddenly it all comes out at once she had been at work last week when she had an issue where she hadn't made it to the bathroom in time and luckily for her Colette had promised not to tell anyone she gave her spare underwear and also a pad from the pharmacy and suggested that she get some as well as loose stomach her bladder had been quite as well laughing made her leak and coughing also made her leak. Though she had a very embarrassing moment when Dom tickled her but he forgot she was not as in control as she normally was and when he tickled her she had no time to get away and she ended up wetting herself right in front of Arthur, Dom, Ric and her dad. Zosia then ran and hid in the toilets refusing to come out and only when Anya bribed her with the biscuits from Poland Zosia came out and refused to step back onto Keller. Dom though had been less sympathetic than Arthur which made Zosia feel a bit better knowing Arthur was supportive but Dom had been less than supportive. Zosia had been in Tescos when she bumped into Jac Naylor the other day.
2 Days ago
Zosia was stood by the feminine hygiene aisle trying to find the right kind of pads, she considered Tescos own but then Jac approached beside her, "TENA...they saved me from issues," Jac said and Zosia jumped, "They last a while."
"Thank you," Zosia said confused she had no idea why Jac was being nice but she grabbed a packet of TENA Lady before walking to the check out.
Present
Now Zosia was just stepping out of the shower and getting dressed for work, she had been very emotional these past few days and the smallest things were setting her off, Dom and Arthur had been trying to avoid her simply because they seemed to always say the wrong thing but now Zosia was getting dressed into a pair of leggings, and vest top she was not happy that the stuff she once wore was no longer able to fit her so she went onto .uk and ordered herself a bunch of Maternity clothes. She pulled up her vest top and squeezed Cocoa butter onto her round bump and started to rub slowly in a way she found this was a way to bond with the baby considering she wasn't able to see her child yet. She then dried her hands off with the towel and then pulled her top back down before putting on her Holby hoddie and she zipped it up then she looked at her calendar: Twenty week scan 09:00am! Zosia looked at the clock two hours to go, two hours before their baby's fate was to be discovered and the gender. Both Zosia and Arthur decided they wanted to know so they could get everything ready and get the right coloured clothes, deco and more.
Zosia stepped into the living room and sat on the sofa and sighed, Arthur gave her an orange juice and Dom say down next to her, "Twenty week scan today..." Arthur said and Zosia nodded she looked nervous and was shaking, "I'm sure it'll be fine," Arthur reassured.
"You can't predict that...pass me my iPod," Zosia ordered Dom and Dom took her iPod off charge and then also gave her the earphones, "Stick this on," Zosia turned the screen to show Dom: Rosanne Cash - 707, "Please."
"Trust Ms Campbell to get you into this," Dom then walked back over and put the iPod onto the docking station.
Last night awaken from a dream with the headlights blazing from a train
and the old man leaning on the throttle
and the brakeman
passing round the bottle,
that full moon dancing through the trees
that 707 was starting to breeze
it said
Dom got his phone out and went onto Twitter Domino: Trust Ms Campbell to get Zosiiiia into Rosanne Cash. 707 is playing :')
MrGSelf: Domino Zosiiia FM/SN not good enough anymore Zosia? ;)
Domino: MrGSelf Zosiiia Oh no she still plays that just SerenaCampbell got her into Rosanne Cash!
...
One hour later Zosia, Dom and Arthur arrived into Holby entrance though Zosia no longer threw up at the smell of coffee she still disliked it, and it still made her urge they went up onto Keller and into the changing room to get changed, Zosia took off her hoddie and then grabbed her scrub top she didn't like people looking at her bump it wasn't public property, it was her body just stretched a lot by the baby growing inside her. She pulled it over her head and then flattened it down before then feeling embarrassed to take off her leggings since her pad was quite noticeable and Dom was likely to take the mick, "Can you guys please leave," Zosia ordered and both men looked at her confused, "Please," she pleaded and they both left before Zosia realised it was safe to get changed she was about to pull off her leggings when she was startled, the door opened and she jumped back and leaked a lot to get a clear picture for her scan she needed a full bladder and she regretted drinking too much water before leaving though luckily it was caught she still felt embarrassed. Zosia quickly grabbed her bag and dashed out of the changing room before heading into the bathroom then she locked herself in a cubicle and sat on the toilet hiding her face in her hands.
"Where's Zosia?" Anya asked Dom and Arthur, Arthur looked around she was nowhere to be seen and he frowned, "Mr Levy have you seem Zosia?"
"Yes...she dashed out of the locker room and I have no idea where she's gone...though I think I startled her," Sacha answered and Anya had a slight idea.
"Leave it to me," Anya said kindly and then she again went to find her daughter she immediately went to the bathroom and shut the door, "Zosia?" Zosia jumped when she heard her name being called and she sighed, "What happened?"
"Nothing...I just needed to go to the bathroom," Zosia answered and she pulled her leggings off then finally put on the scrub trousers, "I'm fine."
"You sure?" Anya asked to be certain and then the cubicle door unlocked revealing her daughter, "You look uncomfortable."
"I'm due a scan in one hour...I've filled my bladder with water which it is unable to hold a lot of urine and it hurts...so yes I'm uncomfortable and nervous and I really need to pee," Zosia crossed her legs and sighed.
"Tale your mind off it...Sacha's looking for you," Anya said and Zosia then bravely uncrossed her legs and realised it was safe to move, she then went back into the cubicle to get her bag, "Is Arthur going with you for the Twenty week scan?" Anya asked curiously and Zosia nodded, "Well that's brilliant...but sweetheart listen...stay calm OK."
"OK," Zosia nodded and she then smiled, "I'm really scared...what if-"
"Hey you'll be fine," Anya reassured and Zosia shook her head before covering her face with her hands, "Oh Zosia," Anya approached her daughter and gave her a hug, "You'll be fine," Anya rubbed her back which she sort of liked as her back had been hurting and it gave the pain slight relief, "OK," Anya reassured and Zosia nodded, "You're worse than what I was for your emotions...and that is saying something."
"I can't help it...I just cry or rage at the weirdest things...I really can't help it," Zosia explained and Anya pulled her away from her and stroked her face, "It's not me."
"Right work...before we get into trouble," Anya ordered and Zosia then walked towards the door, "And let me know as soon as you're back from the scan OK."
"I will," Zosia nodded and then mother and daughter walked back onto Keller but Zosia first had to put her bag back into the locker room. The she popped back out after and joined Sacha with Dom, Arthur, Guy, Anya and Colette.
"Right join us in the board room about one o'clock I have something I want to discuss," Guy ordered and then everyone nodded, "Good don't forget."
"What do you think is going on?" Dom asked Zosia and Zosia shrugged before checking the time, "Good luck."
"Thank you," Zosia said and Dom then walked away leaving Arthur and Zosia together in awkward silence, "Are you still coming?"
"Yes...yes of course," Arthur reassured and Zosia smiled she felt slightly better knowing that she'd have the father there, Arthur knew how nervous she had been and he knew that Guy would get on his back if he didn't go, "I'll be there."
"Nine o'clock don't forget," Zosia then walked away go deal with her patient rubbing her back lightly and Arthur had a feeling it was hurting she had complained a few times that she couldn't get comfortable and he considering he got her pregnant he got suggested by Dom to offer back massages which had helped a few times, and he then walked away to get on with his work.
...
It was now time for both Zosia and Arthur to have the twenty week scan and they were sat in the waiting room, Zosia was shaking and Arthur grabbed her hand, Zosia squeezed his hand and then they were called into the scan room, Zosia let go of Arthur's hand and then they walked in together. Zosia laid down on the bed and placed the paper towel between the top of her trousers and then the Sonographer placed the gel onto the probe, telling then what she was going to look for and then turned on the screen, Zosia again held out her hand for Arthur to take and he took her hand squeezing it they were both as nervous as each other and then the probe was placed onto her swollen abdomen, they looked at the screen there was their baby, their baby no one else's their baby. It's heartbeat filled the room and Zosia smiled her eyes welled up and she felt two tears fall down her right cheek. The sonographer checked everything and then a while later Zosia and Arthur were relieved of their worry, their baby was fine and Zosia breathed out relieved and she smiled, "Do you know the gender?"
"You're having a girl," the sonographer announced and Zosia smiled and looked at Arthur he looked happy, then the image was printed out and given to Zosia. Zosia then wiped the gel off her stomach and pulled her top back down looking happy, they both then walked out and Zosia gave Arthur her bag and she made a dash for the loo very nearly again not making it.
...
13:00pm
The board room was full only Arthur and Zosia were to arrive, the parents to be had decided to talk for a while about the baby, what they were going to do and just stuff in general over a hot chocolate and Zosia had texted Luke about what they were having and he warned her that her snapchat may explode as his mum had seen their texts as Jenny was quite nosey and she had gone and told half the staff on the neuro ward.
"Shit it's one o'clock!" Zosia exclaimed and she stuffed her Nokia into her bag and then both her and Arthur made their way to the board room, they got the lift and luckily it didn't have many stops and then they entered the board room, "Sorry...we urr-"
"Just sit down," Guy ordered and Zosia sat down next to Dom and Arthur sat next to Zosia, Serena, Harry, Ric, Jac, Jonny, Elliot, Mo, Raff, Amy, Sacha, Mary-Claire and Adele were also waiting and Anya and Colette looked at the parents to be funnily though Guy was just impatient, "No that we're all here," he was interrupted by Zosia gasping and he sighed, "Problem Doctor March?"
"You OK?" Mo asked as she saw the surprised look on Zosia's face then she laughed.
"It moved...feel," she grabbed Arthur's hand and placed it on her abdomen then Arthur's eyes lit up, "Weird."
"Does it hurt?" Arthur asked.
"No...it's like...when you can feel the pulse in your stomach," Zosia answered and she realised that everyone was looking and she cleared her throat and she sat forward, "That's weird."
"Weird is you and Arthur all over," Harry joked and he got a glare off a glare off Anya, "Sorry...so what's going?"
"Can I talk now?" Guy asked and Zosia nodded and she looked at her dad, "On Tuesday for two nights all of us...that includes all of us will be going on a Team Building Camping Trip...it has bern brought to my attention that a lot of you are causing drama when not needed, I've sent an email out and we will be leaving here about six am on Tuesday...that gives us a day to get everything together," Guy explained and no one looked impressed, "I don't do incompetence."
"This is a joke right?" Colette asked she didn't like camping very much she wasn't the type and Guy kept his face straight, "Oh come on Guy...you know I don't do camping."
"I am not camping with Jac," Jonny whispered but Guy overheard and cleared his throat before sitting in the chair, "And who will look after Emma?" Jonny asked Jac spitefully.
"I can pay the nanny's double," Jac answered but she felt quite nervous leaving Emma for that long, Jonny them smiled quite evilly, "He'll use this against me," Jac whispered to Elliot and Elliot placed his hand on her shoulder.
"So you'd rather go camping than be a mum?" Jonny asked and Jac went to argue back but Jonny interrupted, "Well listen up missy...Emma is mine, you're an unfit mother."
"Nurse Maconie!" Anya shouted and she stood up Anya rarely had outbursts and it made Colette and Guy both jump, "How dare you!"
"Our daughter who will soon be mine-"
"Your daughter isn't something you can bet on, she's a living human being," Anya argued and Jonny laughed, "Do you have any idea how hurtful it can be to call someone an unfit mother?"
"Thing is it's true...Jac never bonded with Emma, she stayed away, then was relieved when Emma couldn't go home, she left it all to me her father! Does that sound like a fit mother to you?!" Jonny argued.
"And how is taking a child away from their mother going to help your daughter?" Anya asked.
"She'll be sway from the poison that comes out of her mouth!" Jonny shouted as he pointed to Jac and Jac huffed, "Emma is mine-"
"The only unfit parent I can see here Nurse Maconie is you," Sacha defended his best friend Jac and Jonny looked shocked, "Anya is right...taking Emma away from Jac will damage her, I thought you were alright but you know what right now Joseph was the only man ever right for Jac," Jac one drunken night out had told him about Joseph and it seemed that even Elliot couldn't help but agree, "Grief or no grief what you're doing is much worse than what Joseph ever did to her."
"That's enough Sacha," Jac said and Jonny felt defeated he had a mother and a father fighting against him, "I won't go...Emma needs me."
"You deserve to let your hair down Jac," Sacha reassured and Jonny snorted and Mo hit his arm, "She'll be fine."
"Oh aye it must be so tiring...she has an army of nannies, Emma barely knows her and if Bonnie was alive Emma would be better off with her as a mum-"
I can ask my mother to look after Emma if you want? xx - Sacha
He'll use it against me - Jac
You deserve to let your hair down Jac xx - Sacha
My mother's a mother bear she'll adore her xx - Sacha
Promise me she'll be safe?! - Jac
She'll be as safe as safe can be xx - Sacha
OK thank you - Jac
No problem xx - Sacha
"Jac is coming on this trip...she deserves to have a good time," Sacha said to shut Jonny up and Jonny mumbled something before backing down, Mo smiled at Jac even Mo couldn't bring herself to understand what Jonny was doing.
Anya had lost it because she knew how Jac felt other than Zosia being born healthy she had struggled a bit at first, Guy had to bond more with Zosia as Anya was just so unable to cope it was very upsetting as she missed two months of Zosia growing and was called a bad mother by Guy's mother; so Jonny calling Jac an unfit mother it was hard for her not to react.
"So Tuesday six am and Professor Hope and Ms Effanga could I have a word please?" Guy then allowed the rest to leave but it left Anya, Colette, Elliot and Mo in the boardroom.
"A girl!" Dom jumped out in front of Zosia and Zosia nodded smiling, "Sure you're up for this trip?" Dom asked concerned.
"I used to camp a lot when I was little...my dad took my mum camping when she was pregnant with me, I'll be fine," Zosia reassured and Dom smiled, "Do I need to get you camping stuff?" Zosia asked.
"Argos?" Dom suggested and Zosia nodded, "So you ever been camping Speckles?"
"Not really."
"I'm sure you two are not the only ones...so we have an Argos app...though how on earth Jac and Jonny are going to spend two days together is beyond me," Zosia then rubbed her back and tilted back, "My back."
"Want a back massage?" Arthur suggested and Zosia nodded Dom then left Zosia and Arthur as they went to find somewhere private.
