"God Steve no how"
"The wedding having a child, could cause emotional memories that you aren't used to causing you to react the way you say you have been or it was just you were a lot younger when you last went through those experiences and you didn't get time to grieve properly and re going through them again has bought back more grief"
"Will she be able to get rid of it" Steve asked putting his arms around Michelle so she could lean into him.
"Yes we'll give her some pills but she is going to need to get a lot of support from you particularly Steve and maybe time off work and when are yous planning to get married"
"Well we were thinking around Christmas time so around 2 months"
"Well it might be a good idea to postpone it so she can make a full recovery"
"No no I'm not doing that I'll stop working whatever but I'm not having the wedding postponed" She said getting upset.
"Okay well there is a chance you could get better in that time but means stronger pills, a lot more attention and support from your family and friends and no stress"
"Yes fine I'm not wanting to call the wedding not now"
"Right okay if you just want to sit here a moment I'll go get your pills" He said standing up and walking out the room.
"Are you sure about the wedding babe"
"Yea I'm sure want to get married to you as soon as possible"
"Okay well it's your choice but I'll always be here for you" He said giving her a quick kiss as Dr Carter walked back in.
"Okay I know it might look like a lot but each bottle is something different" He said sitting down and placing two bottles and two packets of tablets on the table.
"Okay the bottle with the red lid is sleeping pills and the bottle with the white lid is for when your having a really bad moment but that might be easier for someone else to decide for you and the two packets are to be taking in the morning as you wake up and before you go to bed there just to try and cheer-you up you'll need to take the tow packets everyday and maybe the sleeping pills but the blue one is only for when you're really bad it will have side effects though such as sore heads, stomachs and you might feel a bit achy but its normal and do you want a note for work excusing you time off"
"Yea okay" She said still taking in all the information that she had just been told.
"Right yea that's fine, in the next few days you will probably get worse for about a week but then you should get steadily better I'll make you an appointment for about 10 weeks time to see whether you've gotten any better" He said writing out a note and prescription.
"Okay thank-you" She said taking the bag and two pieces of paper and standing up with Steve.
"It's fine I'll send you the appointment in the post but in the meantime don't stress yourself out get plenty of rest and Steve do the best you can to support her, she's going to need you a lot more the next couple of months"
"Yea I will won't leave her if that's what it takes" Steve said putting his arm around her as they walked out
"You don't need to do all this" She said looking up at him
"But I want to because I love you"
"Still think you shouldn't though"
"But I am so you're just going to have to deal with it are you wanting to tell Rob you're not going back"
"No he can wait till I decide to go back"
"What happened today"
"He was being so immature winding me up so much so I stormed out on him"
"Just ignore him he'll be doing it deliberately to wind you up"
"Yea I know see one day I'm going to end up killing him are we wanting to go get Zoe now"
"Yea if that's what you want to do"
"May as well I suppose" She said ringing in the door bell of Carla and Peters flat
"Hello" Carla said opening the door.
"Hi we've just come to get Zoe"
"Okay but may I ask why you aren't at work keeping an eye on my little brother"
"Oh just been to the doctors"
"Ah right well come in then" She said opening the door a little more so they could both come in
"What did he say"
"That I've got post depression"
"What how"
"Something like the wedding and having a child are bringing back past experiences and when Dean died I didn't grieve properly so reliving all the experiences has bought it back to me"
"Baby come here you'll be fine take as much time off as you need yea"
"Carla im fine honestly well for now anyway"
"Well do and don't let me little brother get to you about it otherwise he'll have me to deal with"
"Ahh yea big tough Carla who happens to be pregnant"
"Well there is that tiny problem I suppose"
"Yea I don't think Peter will let you go brother beating any time soon"
"I'll escape from the bedroom window when he's fast asleep"
"Have fun doing that I'm surprised you can still walk about with as much energy as you do"
"Well that's big tough Carla for you"
"I suppose it is anyway I had better be going" She said looking over to Steve who had got all of Zoe's stuff and put her into her buggy.
"Suppose you had"
"Yea thanks for having her anyway"
"Anytime love now don't go working too hard eh take it easy"
"I don't think anyone going to let me work to hard anyway" She said giving her a quick hug before walking home with Steve.
