a couple days had passed and it was now a brand new week, Zosia had cashed in her fathers check that he had given her, not only had it cleared the remains of her student loan it also left enough to cover hers and Arthur's rents which she managed to pay the landlord the next time she saw him, at least they still had a roof over they're heads for the time being.
"We really need to start looking for a flat mate" Zosia stated over dinner that evening and Arthur nodded "I agree, you still haven't said where you got the cash from for the rent" he added and Zosia rolled her eyes "I was lent it" she said, she wanted to keep her "fathers" name out of it because she didn't want Arthur to think she couldn't provide for herself.
"I'm only asking because I know an F1 doesn't earn enough to pay two rents" Arthur said. Zosia raised an eyebrow "can you just let it go? Ought be grateful you've still got a roof over your head" she snapped and Arthur sighed "okay I'll let it go if it makes you happy" he said and Zosia nodded "Good" she said and Arthur nodded.
Later on that night Zosia was woken by a sharp stabbing pains in her abdomen, "Great" she thought as she assumed that it was just period pains kicking in but then she thought about it in more detail, she hadn't had a period last month, shit no she couldn't have been.. She would've noticed at least, as the pain progressed, she began to feel pain in her pelvis,
her doctor mode kicking in there was no way she could've been pregnant, she would've known if she was, she managed to get up and make it to the bathroom for the medical cabinet and look for a packet of painkillers she took two out of the packet and quickly washed them down with a glass of water, hoping that they would kick in quickly so she wasn't in much pain.
It was only then she felt something warm slip down her legs, and the pain in her abdomen increased, she managed to struggle her way over to the sofa, and she managed to pick up her laptop taking it off charge
She quickly opened a browser and began typing into her favourite search engine, she knew the internet wasn't the best source of information but none the less she typed in her symptoms. Hitting enter and one word popped up in the results.. Miscarriage..
She sighed, maybe it was for the best that it happened because she couldn't imagine herself with a child, she certainly wasn't ready for a child to give that, she knew when the moment was right and she found the right guy then yes she could see herself having children but now was way too soon, she still had her training to complete, so maybe nature had done her a favour, then she thought about Arthur, chances were the child would've been his, again maybe it was a blessing that the little life had been cut short, nothing against Arthur but she really couldn't see him as a father.
not that she was going to tell him that she could've been pregnant with his child, the news itself would have scared him away, for once maybe nature had this for a purpose so she wouldn't face being a single parent.
Zosia was lost in thought that she hadn't heard Arthur's bedroom door open or his footsteps but he soon appeared and he noticed that she was awake "your up late" he said malign himself a glass of water, "I couldn't sleep" Zosia stated simply, Arthur nodded "couldn't sleep or was there another reason?" He asked curiously. Zosia raised an eyebrow "I can't believe your making me say this, but it's my time of the month" Zosia said and Arthur nodded "sorry I asked" he said awkwardly and Zosia sighed as he took his water and went back into his bedroom. She heard the door of his room close, and she sighed.
Before slipping into her coat and she chose to head out, she didn't know where she was going, but her feet found herself outside her fathers, she didn't know why she was here, just that she felt she needed to be.
