"Ahh there you are, I was wondering where you three had gotten to." Guy said as Zosia, Oliver and Colette entered the lounge again. Oliver went to take the box of presents into the kitchen he put them on the counter and noticed a few more had been added. He took the wrapped presents out of the box Jac entered to add hers to the pile. "Zosia seems happier today." She said handing the present to Oliver. "Well I'm guessing that's because she's seen the nursery, thank you for your help by the way Naylor." Oliver smiled "she loved it." He added, Jac helped Oliver with the presents while they were chatting. "So how have things been with the baby?" she asked Oliver stopped what he was doing, almost as if someone had pressed pause. "Good." He smiled. "We felt them move for the first time while we were in the nursery." He beamed. "Really? Ollie that's great news!" Jac smiled. "I bet Zosia's relieved." She added.
Jac and Oliver talked for a while longer while they sorted a few things out. "When her GP okayed her coming of her medication I was worried it might throw her a bit, but she seems to be handling things well." Oliver admitted. "When did that happen?" Jac quizzed confused. "And why wasn't I told?" she added sternly. "I thought she had mentioned it, but it only happened a few days ago." Oliver said quickly cooling Jac's flame. Jac stood silently for a moment but decided to let the argument slide. "Fair enough" she muttered "Everything ready yet?" she asked diverting the conversation. Oliver nodded. "Yep let's go. "he said before heading to the lounge.
The room fell into a quiet state when Jac and Oliver walked in. Zosia was sat talking to guy when Oliver walked in "Zosh?" Oliver called from the other side of the room causing Zosia to look up with raised eyebrows. "We have something for you in the kitchen. "he explained. Zosia stood up and walked over to Oliver "Full of surprises you hmm?" she smiled.
Everyone followed as Oliver and Zosia headed to the kitchen. Luckily Colette had brought some extra chairs over beforehand so everyone had somewhere to sit around the large table with the presents in the middle. "I don't know what to say!" zosia smiled beginning to get tearful. "Ohh selfie junior, hormones getting to you now are they?" Mo laughed causing Zosia to laugh. Zosia chose to open the closest present to her, she looked at the name tag to see who it was from. 'Dearest Zosia, love dad'
Opening the paper carefully she revealed a yellow casket, Zosia studied the things inside the casket, the cream baby grows with a teddy print and a small brown teddy with a pale yellow love heart on the foot. A clear dummy a small yellow blanket, and matching bib. "Its lovely thank you." She smiled looking at her dad who smiled back.
'Dr March and Dr Valentine, congratulations and good luck love Arthur and Morven x' the next gift tag read. Oliver wrapped his arm around Zosia's waist as she opened the wrapping carefully again. Unveiling a round box filled with nappies covered in a soft white blanket with a grey teddy placed on top that had 'I love mummy and daddy' printed on the tummy. Zosia began to well up again. "Its beautiful thank you" she smiled wiping a stray tear away.
"You open the next one" Zosia said to Oliver. Oliver nodded before picking up a rectangular box reading the note 'Mini me and Valentine, congratulations, Jac x' he opened it gently just as Zosia had. He lifted out a small bath seat filled with baby friendly soap, bubble bath, shampoo and bath toys "Well who would have thought ice queen Naylor has a big heart?' Oliver laughed "Thanks Jac."
Zosia took another one 'Good luck you two, Dom x' Zosia smiled instantly at Dom's tag. Opening the box, she looked at the folded baby grows, there must have been about 20. "Dom!" Zosia smiled "Don't look at them all yet but they all have something great on them" he smiled indicating to the pictures on the side showing what they said on them. Zosia laughed while ollie read another tag.
'Dr Valentine and Dr March best wishes, Serena' Zosia peeled back some paper and gently picked up a shirt which had 'mama bear' on the front, one that had 'dada bear' on the front and the last one that had 'baby bear' on the front. "Now that is awesome!" Oliver laughed. "thank you Serena" Zosia and Oliver said in unison.
Oliver opened the next present which was from Raf and Cara. Unwrapping a bag and peering inside to find a card explaining what was inside before passing the card to Zosia. "This is great! Spare everything wouldn't have crossed my mind!" Zosia laughed before the pair thanked Cara and Raf.
Zosia took the next box, from Sacha and Essie it was small and neatly wrapped. As she carefully unwrapped it a smile spread on to Zosia's face. Reading what it was on the box Oliver laughed "A dummy and a thermometer in one, how do you guys find these things?" he asked laughing. Sacha looked towards Essie who just shrugged.
The last present was from Colette. Unwrapping the gift delicately she noticed it was a baby grow on the front it said 'mini march' "This is the best baby grow ever!" Zosia laughed before she and Oliver thanked everyone for coming as they left.
