2 weeks later
It was the day of Zosia's 20 week scan and tomorrow she would be heading off to Inverness with Jac, Elliott, Mo and her dad who had managed to convince the board to allow him to go due to Zosia's pregnancy and now they were going to have 2 rooms with Jac and Zosia and Guy in a 2 bedroom suite and Elliott and Mo inn their own rooms. Zosia walked into work that day knowing that by that evening she would probably know the gender of her child. Zosia went straight to her dad's office and when she walked in her dad was sat at his desk with his head in his hands. He had left the house earlier than her this morning because he wanted to do something and then she realised that it was 20th May and her mum and dads wedding anniversary, they would have been married for 29 years this year and she knew that was why he had been quite this morning. She felt so bad for forgetting and they then spend about 20 minutes sitting crying with each other when suddenly the phone rang and Zosia decided she was not crying as much as her father so she was probably been to answer the phone:
'Hello who is it please'
"Zosia is that you its Elliott I was just wondering where you were"
"Oh Hello Professor Hope I will be there in a few moments will explain when I arrive. Bye"
She then made her exit and headed to Darwin to explain why she was late and Elliott luckily understood.
Zosia was sitting in the consultants office looking after baby Isla as both Jac and Jonny were having to work at that point so Jac had asked Zosia if she minded looking after Isla for a few minutes while she sorted out an emergency case. Zosia was sat on the floor with Isla on her mat and she was singing a polish lullaby to her that she would be singing to her child in a few short months. She looked at the clock it was 11:30 the time that her parents got married and only an hour until she would she her baby again and hopefully find out the sex. She was going to the scan with her dad as she wanted him to be with her especially today. An hour later Zosia had got on a break and was sat talking to baby Isla as Jac had just nipped to the café to get some lunch for herself and Guy then popped his head into the office and saw Zosia talking to baby Isla. Jac soon returned and Zosia headed off with her dad to Maternity.
They arrived at Maternity and took a seat. After about 5 minutes they called Zosia's name and she went with her dad into a small room and they asked her to pop on the bed. Zosia got on the bed and lifted her top up and knew that soon she would know the gender of the baby inside her. Mr T walked in as he was going to perform the scan as Guy had asked him to. Zosia laid there as the cold gel went on her stomach and then she looked at the screen as the image of her baby was on the screen. She asked Mr T what the gender was and he told her that it was a GIRL. In her heart of hearts that is what Zosia wanted it to be as she knew that she could then bring it up like she had been brought up. After Mr T had checked the baby over Zosia was free to leave. She headed back to Darwin as he dad headed back to his office with both of them having a copy of the scan photo. Zosia arrived back on Darwin just as Jac was coming out of her office with Isla and Zosia knew that she would be having a little girl of her own in just a few months' time.
Jac asked Zosia how the scan had gone so Zosia revealed that she was expecting a little girl and Jac knew how she must be feeling it was only about 6 months since she was in Zosia's position. Zosia then worked for the next few hours and just before going home a meeting was called in her dad's office with Jac, Mo and Elliott and her. The 4 of them all got their bags and bits from the lockers and headed for Guy's office. When they arrived he told them that Elliott and Mo would be sharing a car and that himself, Zosia and Jac would be sharing a car. He told Elliott that he should leave at about 8am to avoid the traffic and that could stop when and if they wanted, he then told Jac that he would be picking her up at about 8:30 am so she could spend a few hours with Isla before she left for their conference in Scotland as it would be 4 days before she saw her again. Zosia felt so guilty that she was being able to take her daughter with her even though she had no choice and that Jac was having to leave baby Isla on her own with Jonny. Guy then told them that they had to be in Inverness at the hotel for 8pm the following night and that they would be starting the conference at 9am the following morning. Zosia knew that she would probably be ill on the long journey as she had always suffered from travel sickness and this had only been heighten by the pregnancy and also the fact that the baby though that he bladder was a kicking practice area and that she required the toilet a lot.
Zosia headed home with her dad after a long and happy day and knew that the next few days were either going to be the worst few days ever or the best few days depending on how she was feeling and how the others were feeling especially Jac who she knew would obviously be missing baby Isla.
