After what seemed like an few hours but in reality was just a couple of minutes, Zosia's tears sustained into sobs and eventually there was the odd hiccup but she was sure that was it all, she looked up at her father and he looked down at her "Feel better now?" He asked, Zosia shook her head "not really" she admitted and Guy sighed "Well you're more then welcome to take couple days off from work" he said and Zosia shook her head "no, I want to work it will at least take my mind off things" before she stiffed back a yawn, which Guy noticed "I think someone needs a bed, you're stopping tonight in the spare room and I'm not taking no for an answer" Guy told her, Zosia rolled her eyes before nodding, she did feel exhausted. It was probably the crying had done it.
Guy watched from behind as his daughter that was near enough a stranger to him trod off upstairs into the spare room of the flat, Guy soon followed after he turned the lights off from downstairs and he made his way upstairs, he noticed that the spare room door was still open "would you like me to close the door?" He asked and Zosia shook her head "leave it open, please" she asked and Guy nodded "of course" he said
Just as Zosia picked up a cuddly teddy bear from the bed and she realised that it was the same bear from her childhood, Marley, she tuned to face her father "i can't believe you kept him" she admitted and Guy smiled "did you honestly think I would throw him out? I remember your face when you opened the present and you took him were so attached." Guy said and Zosia nodded.
"I remember asking him to make mama..-" Zosia stopped, she looked at Guy and he frowned "it's okay, you don't have to feel as if you can't talk about her, Zosia I know it's hard for you,' I don't blame you but really it's okay, it's all part of the grieving process" Guy said and Zosia nodded "do you think she's not in any pain?" She asked and Guy shook his head "you of all people will know that she won't be in any more pain, you made it as comfortable as any normal person would've done" Guy said and Zosia nodded
"I just miss her so much" she admitted and Guy nodded "I know you do darling, I miss her too but know she's always looking down on you, she'll always be there for you, you know that" Guy said and Zosia nodded
Guy soon took his cue to leave "night dad" Zosia said and Guy nodded "night, Zosia" he said, he had stopped himself from using her pet name as he didn't want to push her too far, not now anyway. After Guy was gone Zosia snuggled her way under the duvet, placing her head on the pillow with one arm cradling Marley, and she soon fell into a deep slumber...
The Next Morning
Zosia began to stir when the sunlight had began to creep through the curtains, causing her to awake and made her rub the remainder of sleep out of her eyes. Just as the spare room opened and it revealed Guy already dressed in his work clothes. "I've made breakfast, I wasn't sure what you would like so I've just made toast. " he said and Zosia nodded "toasts fine" she said and Guy nodded. "and I wasn't sure whether you wanted coffee. So I've boiled the kettle and I've left it out for you" he said and Zosia nodded.
"Dad." She began before she stopped herself and Guy looked up at her. "Yes Zosia?" he asked and Zosia pointed out the obvious "what am I meant to go to work in, none of my clothes are here" she said and Guy nodded. "I have a pair of scrubs handy. If you would prefer to wear those while I drop you off home" Guy suggested and Zosia raised an eyebrow. "Careful, people at work will begin talking they will think the F1 and her father the surgeon have sorted out they're differences. And we don't want that do we?" Zosia said sternly.
Guy frowned. "I thought we had sorted things out?" he said confused. "You think that because I let my guard down in a moment of need and weakness you think that changes things? It doesn't. it was stupid of me to come here" Zosia said frustrated. Guy was hurt, he thought that last night was a step in the right direction. "Zosia..." he began. Zosia looked at him "my name is Doctor March" she said and Guy looked down. "Right so I'm not even allowed to call you by your first name now?" he exclaimed and Zosia nodded "that's exactly it". She said.
"So Doctor March I take it you will be needing those scrubs then?" Guy asked and Zosia nodded. "Yes I will need those" she said and Guy left the room to collect the spare scrubs that he had at home so his daughter could change into them. He frowned he really thought that they had made a step forward. But clearly he had misread the signs.
Guy soon returned with the spare scrubs and he tapped on the bedroom door Zosia held out her hand and he placed them into her hands and she closed the door again in his face. Twenty minutes later Zosia had changed into the scrubs. And she appeared dressed and changed, making herself a cup of coffee. Guy sat in silence as he watched his daughter in front of his eyes, once Zosia had finished her coffee. She chose to leave. Choosing to walk home as soon as she closed the door behind her. Guy was left wondering just where do they go from here?/
