Zosia found herself outside her fathers house, she wondered for a moment about why she was stood here, it was the middle of the night for heavens sake and it was likely that her father was sound asleep. She wondered for a moment about why she was here. She sighed, its not like she needed his help but yet her own two feet had brought her here. She could just imagine her fathers reaction to the news that his daughter had slept with her colleague twice.
Who also happened to be her flatmate and had got her pregnant. She could just picture his reaction now. Because her father was very strict and old fashioned he had told her countless times that she was not to go getting herself in a mess before she was married, so how would he react to the news that she had done just that?. She must have been so lost in thought that she hadn't realised that her hand had knocked on the door of her fathers place,
She was about to turn and head away when she heard a fumble of a chain and the door unlocking, her father's head appeared outside the doorway. He looked surprised to see his daughter on his front door step. "Zosia?" Guy asked curiously as he looked at his daughter. She nodded simply "it's me" she added. "Do you know what time it is?" Guy asked and Zosia nodded. "I think I will come back another time, when it's not so late" Zosia stated simply and Guy shook his head "no, come on in, there must be a reason for your visit" he stated and Zosia sighed, not sure whether it was the right thing to do, none the less she walked into the flat and Guy closed the door behind him.
"I'm sorry if I've woken you its just I wasn't sure where to go and I think my feet were acting on they're own orders" Zosia stated simply, "Well I'm glad that you came here." Guy said and Zosia nodded. "It's getting pretty late myself. I hadn't realised it was so late until you knocked" Guy admitted. He had been doing the mountain of paperwork that seemed to have stacked itself on his desk. And there was no point in avoiding it much longer.
"Right..." Zosia began awkwardly. "I was just doing some paperwork when you knocked" Guy said putting it simply for her.
"If this is about the money that I gave you I already told you that you can have it, you don't have to pay me back" Guy said and Zosia shook her head. "No its not that" she said and Guy raised an eyebrow. "didn't I give you enough because if that's the problem then I don't mind giving you it" Guy said, reaching for his check book but Zosia shoved his hand away "I don't need your money" she said and Guy sighed "if its not money then what is it Zosia?" Guy asked slightly frustrated, but unsure of what his daughter wanted.
"I know what you're going to say about what I'm about to tell you but I don't know who else to turn to, I mean I can't exactly turn to Arthur because the news would just scare him." Zosia said and Guy raised an eyebrow. "You're Pregnant aren't you?" he asked and Zosia couldn't bring herself to look into her fathers eyes.
"Zosia what have I told you, I have told you countless times to put something at the end of it" he said shaking his head. "If you would let me finish. If I was pregnant. I certainly am not anymore. I've been bleeding and I've been experiencing cramps" Zosia said as she bit her lower lip hoping to prevent the stream of tears from falling.
Guy looked at his daughter. He instantly felt bad for misjudging the situation. "I take it that Arthur would have been the father?" Guy asked and Zosia nodded. "I rather you wouldn't tell him. He doesn't need to know anyway, since there's not a baby growing inside of me" Zosia said and Guy nodded. "I won't say a word. But I think its best you stay here tonight, in the spare room. Its late and I would prefer you somewhere, where I know your safe and I'm not taking no for an answer" Guy stated simply and Zosia rolled her eyes
"Am I allowed to give you a hug? You look like you could use one" Guy said moving a little closer to his daughter. She hesitated at first before nodding and she walked a bit closer to her father and he opened his arms, she allowed to be hugged by him. It wasn't long before she buried her head into his chest, and allowed the tears to fall.
Guy placed a kiss to his daughters forehead "that's it sweetheart. Let it all out, your dads here. He's not going anywhere" Guy said and he felt Zosia nod into his chest, he wasn't going to let go anytime soon,
