Guy had decided that what Zosia needed was a nice holiday so he booked a cruise for them to go round Spain and Italy departing from Southampton so that Zosia did not have to fly. Guy went into Zosia room to tell her what he had booked.
"Zoshie darling, how you feeling this morning"
"Better thanks"
"Well I have booked you and me the next 3 weeks off work"
"Why"
"Because I have booked for us to go to on a Cunard cruise around Spain and Italy and we leave tomorrow"
"What, really"
"Yea just you and me to help you recover, we are going from Southampton and come back to Southampton so you do not have to fly at all"
"Thank you Dad so much. What time are we leaving tomorrow to get there?"
"About 10 am as its 2 hours there straight and with stops for you needing the toilet it will be able 3 hours and we have to be boarded by 4pm"
Zosia was very excited about the holiday as apart from the disaster trip to Scotland, it was the first holiday since her mother had died. She went upstairs and started to pack and though that she should try everything on considering that her bump was growing daily. She then saw that lots of her clothes were too small.
"Dad we may have a problem"
"What do you mean"
"Well most of the formal clothes you brought me a couple of years ago are too small with the bump"
"Have you got anything"
"Not really"
"Ok, we will go to Quiz to buy you lots of formal gowns that will stretch."
Zosia and Guy headed to the local shopping centre to get new clothes and formal dresses for Zosia. £800 later they had returned home. Zosia then carried on packing her clothes and then was about to pick up her suitcase to weigh it when her dad came in.
"You are not lifting that I will carry it for you."
Guy went and got the measuring scales and they had a weight allowance of 20Kg each and Zosia's weighed 19.4kg and Guy's weighted 17. was now 6pm so Guy had gone to the fish and chips shop to get them a takeaway dinner. Zosia was having Chicken Nuggets and chips while Guy was going to have Fish and chips and they were also sharing a curry sauce and gravy.
They had just finished dinner when there was a ding dong on the doorbell. Zosia went to answer it and standing there was Arthur and Collette who had just happened to arrive at the same time. They were expecting Collette as she had come to collect Guy's dog that she was going to be looking after while they were on the cruise but Arthur she had no idea why he was there.
"Collette come in she is just in the living room, Dad is just getting all her food and bits together so go and sit in there while you wait. Arthur what are you doing her"
"Well I am glad to see you are alive then, was didn't you tell me you were going on holiday"
"Because I didn't know I was until this morning"
"Well are you flying as you know you will be nearly 28 weeks when you get back."
"We are going from Southampton and returning to Southampton so no flying involved and anyway why is it any of your business"
"Because I am the father of that" Arthur said pointing to the bump.
"Well we are fine, anything else you wanted."
"No as long as you are all ok, how is the ribs and ankle now after last week"
"The ribs are nearly better and the ankle is just a little sore but nothing I cannot manage with"
Arthur then left and Collette had just left with the dog so Zosia decided that she was going to go and have a long soak in the bath. She was sitting in the bath with her daughter playing kick the bubbles as every so often the bubbles in the bath would move. After nearly an hour in the bath she got out and got ready for bed.
Guy had brought her a hot chocolate and asked if she wanted to have a movie night which she agreed to. Guy let her chose what she wanted and she choose Harry Potter as she had loved it from being a young girl when she read the first book. Everything during the movie that Zosia jumped a bit her darling daughter decided that she was going to kick for about 10 minutes. At the end of the 2nd film Guy was just about to suggest that they maybe settle down but then he saw that his daughter had fallen asleep on him with one arm around him and the other around her bump. Guy knew it wouldn't be long before Zosia would wake up needed to toilet as she needed it about every 2 hours and she had gone near the beginning of the film. As expected 30 minutes later Zosia woke up needing a wee as her darling daughter was kicking her bladder like it was a practice football penalty shootout which Zosia did not appreciate. When she got back she slipped under the covers and went back to sleep and slept like a log waiting for the next morning and the start of her 2 week holiday.
