I know holbyfan112, I don't think I will be able to cope with tomorrow's episode either! (7th June) it is going to be so sad! But just so you know, Digby isnt going anywhere in this story :) xx
Chapter Fifty One- I Hope There Are Other Reasons Too!
Zosia knocked on the door of Dom, Arthur and Morven's flat just about a week later.
"You are getting extremely good at showing up uninvited you two." Dom greets Zosia and Ollie.
"What a lovely greeting! We came round to give you a very special invitation… but to be honest after that welcome, I think we should withdraw it, do you agree Ollie?" Zosia says sarcastically.
"Yes I completely agree babe, there is no appreciation at all is there? Plus, we could have just let ourselves in with the key you still have, so really, I think we were quite polite to knock." Ollie goes along.
"Will you both please stop it with the sarcasm?"
"It would be very hard to. It is our default setting."
"Please, do come in; and just tell us what the hell you are hinting at!"
"I thought you were never going to ask." She says with her biggest smile and barges past Dom.
"I don't know how you cope Ollie." Dom shakes his head whilst watching Zosia getting herself comfy on the sofa as she always did when she lived there.
"I heard that!" Zosia shouts across. "Be careful how you respond to that fiancé." She tilts her head and smiles at Ollie.
"There is no 'coping' required Dom, and you know that, you lived with her for long enough." Ollie replies chuckling as they both walk over and join Zosia.
"I have to say Zoshie; you really are pulling off the pregnancy, slash, glowing mother-to-be look."
"Thank you, but that's a load of rubbish. I am massive."
"No you really are looking lovely Zosh." Dom tries to reassure her but it earns him a blank glare.
"If I were you Dom; just going by my experience on this topic. I'd settle for that initial 'thank you but' statement. No matter how much you tell her she is beautiful, she doesn't believe anyone complimenting her." Ollie says but in a joking manner.
"Because you are all lying; supposedly just to try make me feel better about myself." Zosia responds laughing but clearly there was some truth behind what she had said.
"Nope every compliment is completely genuine… and accurate too!" Ollie says shaking his head.
"Are those two in?" She asks Dom, pointing to Arthur's room. This was also likely done in the hope of ending this current topic.
"Diggers is in, but Morven is working." He explains. "Diggers we have company!" He then shouts to him to come into the lounge area.
"Hello you two." Digby smiles when he sees them. "What has brought on this visit?"
"They are giving us some kind of invitation apparently." Dom cuts in.
"We need you to book the 25th of August and probably the morning after off work please. Morven will need to as well." Zosia tells them.
"Why what is happening then?" Arthur questions.
"Oh nothing too important; It's just the day that you two are going to be my 'Men of Honour' when I marry this numpty!" She grins and points to Ollie.
"What? You're getting hitched before they are born?!" Dom exclaims looking gobsmacked.
"We booked the venue yesterday!" Ollie explains happily.
"I don't want to have a different name to the twins!" She exclaims.
"I hope there are other reasons too Zosh!" Ollie jokes.
"Yes actually. It will mean that I am half a home owner! And you won't be able to say that I steal your car anymore, because it will be our car. I want to be called Mrs Valentine, because who wouldn't?! Plus, if there is a ring on your finger… everyone will know you are spoken for." She stops adding suspense.
"All that and I love you quite a lot and it's a commitment I want to make." She giggles and flutters her eyelashes.
"I was about to suggest you did a pre-nup then Ollie; but the love bit at least is reassuring." Dom says in his usual tone.
"Yes I must admit; you had me worried for a bit there Zosh!" Ollie laughs.
"Can you tell us again what role we will have?" Digby then asks her.
"Men of Honour Diggers. You know, instead of a maid of honour. You are my best friends, so I decided to mix things up a little. It is only right. I would like Morven to be one of my bridesmaids too."
"It would be our pleasure wouldn't it Diggers?" Dom puts to Arthur.
"Yes of course, I don't understand what our role will be at all, but never mind!"
"Well obviously by that time I am going to nearly be eight months pregnant so… I am sorry guys but the crazy night out beforehand will have to be put on hold until they are born!"
"Erm Zoshie, when are you going to find time once you've had them?!"
"Dom, that is one of the main reasons why children have two parents; Ollie can have them."
"He can, can he?" Ollie laughs.
"Yes you can dear, I'll have done all the work for nine months by then. It is only fair I am awarded a long-awaited drunken night out." She says as if this is fact.
"I take it you won't you be feeding them yourself then Zosia?" Digby says referencing Zosia wanting to drink large amounts of alcohol once the twins are born.
"I probably would have tried to feed them, but it is healthier for them to have formula. Bipolar, what can I say."
"Oh right, sorry Zosh. I didn't think." Digby says awkwardly.
"It's okay Diggers. I am fine with it, we are having them. That is what is important to us. My condition could have ruled out having children. So I think we are very lucky."
