Two weeks later, Zosia was relieved to be working a busy shift, because the day had arrived where Seb would be sentenced. She had read lots of horror stories online of people who got lenient sentences for various offences and she desperately hoped that justice would be done. Zosia was keeping herself busy, knowing that if she was able to think about it too much, it would make her panic, and Ollie watched on with concern. Since Jac had returned to work, she often had one or the other of them in theatre with her, especially since Mo and Elliot also had busy lists.
'Zosia?' he called out, trying to get her attention as she hurried past him to pick up some files.
'Can it wait, I'm trying to prep beds 2 and 4 for theatre' she explained, and Ollie nodded slowly and reluctantly.
'Sure' he said, sounding very uncertain. As he sat watching her from the nurses station as she made her way around the ward prepping various patients, Guy approached him, looking concerned too. 'How's she doing?' He asked, not making eye contact but standing next to him. Ollie shrugged.
'She seems okay...a bit too okay, knowing what's happening today… I think I'm feeling the nerves for the two of us'
'When are you expecting to hear something?' He asked, looking at his watch.
'The sentencing hearing is at 3 o clock I think, we finish work at 3.30 today so we should be able to get through the whole shift in anticipation.' Ollie put his head in his hands. 'She's hardly talked about it, which I suppose is good as she has the baby to focus on, she's physically moved on from that nastiness, but she must be feeling something today'
'Would you like me to come up when you finish your shift? Be there when she gets the call?'
Ollie was touched by this gesture, and nodded. 'Thank you, I think she'd like that' he smiled and Guy nodded just as Zosia approached them, looking confused.
'What's going on?' She asked, looking between both of them. Ollie hesitated, and Guy had an idea.
'Ollie's patient has neuro issues' he said, quite pleased with this lie, but Zosia looked at him weirdly.
'Dad, Ollie doesn't have a patient this morning, he's scrubbing in with Ms Naylor on her patient...' She replied, looking at them both. 'Are you two talking about me?' Both men were silent for a moment and then Ollie spoke.
'...We're just thinking, today something very important is happening...' He began, reluctantly, and Zosia looked at him as if to tell him to get to the point, 'and we don't know how you're feeling about it...' He trailed off slightly. She sighed, folding her arms, looking frustrated with them both
'And?! Why do I need to run all my feelings past you two all the time?!' She shouted, and Guy tried to quieten her down, approaching her gently.
'Darling we just want to be there for you, especially today-'
'You want to be there for me?! Just let me get on with it then, jeez! I don't need you both pussyfooting around me!' She snapped, glaring at them both before slamming down the pile of files she was holding and storming off back towards the bays. Both Ollie and Guy shared a look of 'eeek' as they realised that they had touched a nerve, and with Zosia's already raging hormones, making her stressed or annoyed wasn't going to help, especially after her scare a few weeks before.

Ollie gave Zosia a couple of hours to calm down, but as he approached her on the ward later, he realised that he was going to have to give her a bit more time. 'Zosh? I'm sorry about earlier, I just-'
'I'm not interested in your apology right now' she snapped as he approached her slowly, looking sorry. As he slowly turned away again, he caught Jac and Mo looking at them, and Jac beckoned him over.
'What was it I said about my happy and harmonious ward?' Jac said, raising an eyebrow. 'Sort it Valentine' she instructed, before wandering off back towards the bays. Mo, meanwhile, laughed.
'Look, don't worry, pregnancy is a nightmare on the old hormones. She'll be fine, just give her a bit more time and she'll calm down' she reassured, patting him on the shoulder as he looked on. Zosia did look incredibly peeved- he was just going to have to give her space and hope for the best...

After a couple of hours of this, their shift came to an end and Zosia approached Ollie as he sat on a sofa in the staff room and she sat herself down next to him. He looked at her, and she looked at him, and they smiled weakly at each other. She took a deep breath and looked down, playing with her hands. 'I'm scared, ok?'
'Really?' He teased sarcastically, and she thumped him.
'What if he gets off lightly? She said, looking over at Ollie has he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
'He doesn't deserve to get off easily'
'But he could have done much worse-'
'Don't, Zosia. He betrayed your trust, the hospital's trust, and he broke the law. That's all there is to it.' He asserted, and she nodded in agreement.
'Yeah...yeah, you're right' she smiled, weakly. 'I'm sorry for being grumpy earlier...'
'Grumpy?' he winked. 'You were completely terrifying' he laughed, and she poked her tongue out. 'Please do not teach our child your arguing habits' he continued as she sat, playfully sulking, her hormones having clearly calmed down. However, as they laughed together, they were distracted by Zosia's mobile ringing in her pocket. As she reached down, she could see it was her solicitor calling.
'Oh no' she gasped, her hands starting to shake. Ollie held out his hand.
'Come on, you can do it'
Zosia took a deep breath and answered the phone. 'Hello?...yes, hello...ok...' And then she went quiet...however, after a few moments she gasped, her eyes welling up with tears and bringing her hand to her mouth to stop herself fro, crying. However, as she squeezed Ollie's hand, he took the phone from her'
'Hello, this is her fiancé, she's rather upset, what's happening?'
'Ah hello Mr Valentine. I'm just calling to let Zosia know, Mr Coulter was sentenced to 18 months, but with good behaviour he'll be out in 9...I'm so sorry, I was hoping for a longer sentence too but he's held his hands up to being struck off, and he's going to be getting help with his issues'
'I see...' Ollie frowned, looking at Zosia who had tears streaming down her face. 'Thank you for letting us know...' He rounded off the call, and took Zosia in his arms and let her cry. 'I'm so sorry Zosh' he frowned, stroking her hair.
'9 months! Ollie our baby will only be 2 months old when he's released, this is a joke!' She shouted, standing abruptly. Meanwhile, Guy overheard the commotion from outside and realised that it wasn't good news...he opened the door to find Zosia pacing angrily and Ollie trying to calm her down, knowing that stress wasn't good for her.
'I take it it isn't good news?' Guy frowned, and Ollie shook his head sadly as Zosia ran her hands through her hair, exasperated.
'He got 18 months dad. He'll be out in 9' she sobbed, and he put his arms around her to calm her down.
'Darling, it's something' he murmured comfortingly, 'you need to move forward from this, Zoshie. You have so many good things happening in your life right now to let that germ ruin things. He won't dare come back, not after his name has been rightfully dragged through the mud' he continued, and Zosia tentatively nodded as Ollie reached out and took her hand.
'I know...it's just, I really hoped for longer'
'So did we...but let's look to the future. I'm nervous but excited to meet your little one' he smiled, 'he or she is going to be so spoilt' Guy smiled.
'Being a granddad-to-be has made you weird' Zosia laughed, and Ollie tried to stifle a laugh.
'It's over now, Zosh, we have a real chance to build our lives back together now he's inside. We'll make it' Ollie smiled as he pulled his fiancée in for a cuddle, and she relaxed into his arms.
