The day she realises. [COMPLETED]

Emotions Running High

*Disclaimer: In this chapter it has a little bit about mental health-Zosia's bipolar- and I don't mean to offend anybody with it. The wording I have used is purely what I think of how the characters would to the mental illness. Again, I DO NOT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE! I hope you enjoy...*

It was 4 and a half months since Zosia and Ollie had told everyone about the pregnancy and now Zosia was heavily pregnant-7months to be exact. Ollie had been trying to persuade her to book her maternity leave but Zosia wanted to carry on working until the last minute. They had lost numbers of hours of sleep arguing about the issue but Zosia being Zosia always seemed to win.

(Present)
It had been a rough night for Zosia. She was now in her third and final trimester of pregnancy but it was just as uncomfortable as the first. The morning sickness had gone but she now had back ache, indigestion but the thing she hated the most was her bowl control. She leapt out of bed and dashed to the toilet.
After having a shower and putting on her make-up she tried to find an outfit that fitted her. She hated being too big for her outfits. She had always been a size 10-12 but now she was doing well if she could fit into a size 16.
"Ollie. Am I ugly?" Zosia asked Ollie hoping for him to compliment her.
"No Zosh! You are the prettiest most glamorous girl I have ever laid eyes on! Tonight I was thinking about making a romantic meal for us both tonight! " Ollie romantically asked. Zosia nodded in approval as she put on one of her 'ugly outfits'.  She grabbed some toast and they both ran to the car. Zosia attempted to fit into the passenger seat but her stomach was too big so she was forced to sit in the back.
"Ugh! 2 more months of this thing in here and then we will finally get to hold our little girl or boy!" Zosia huffed.
"Boy." Ollie corrected.
"Well I'll love him or her."  Zosia replied putting on her seat belt. 

"Oh haha! You want a girl and I want  a boy. Not to say that I wouldn't want a girl it's just I can relate so much more with a boy."Ollie answered and he started the car and drove off.

Once at work, Zosia's back began to ache as it did every day so she decided to go to the staff room for an early break. 

Mo was also in there and asked Zosia," Are you alright Zosia? You look really tired." 

Zosia sat down and replied,"No! My back aches, I'm always tired and I need to go to the toilet like every five minutes!"

"Oh the joys of pregnancy!" Mo laughed. "Look if you need any 'girly chats' I'm here. "

"Thanks Mo..."Zosia replied,"I need to go to the toilet though." Zosia said before leaving the room. 

Just as she left, Ollie walked in asking where Zosia was. 

"Oh she just went to the toilet...Is everything alright Ollie?"Mo asked concerned. Ollie nodded and Mo let out a sigh of relief. 

"Just her tablets for you know..."He trailed off and dashed to the female toilets and knocked on the door. 

"Zosh, are you alright? Are you in there?"He shouted.  Zosia waddled towards the door and opened it.

"Shush Ollie, I'm fine!" She muttered as she grabbed the tablets off him.

"Why do you have my tablets Ollie? Do you think that I'm not well! Do you think that I'm going crazy?"She asked her hormones going crazy.

"Oh Zosh..I didn't mean...I don't mean..I just thought that you needed to take them...you know with your hormones going everywhere." He was cut off.

"It's called being pregnant Ollie. Pregnant. Your body is like a rubbish bin. All of your old emotions just keep coming back. Do you know what that is like?"She yelled.

 At this point Ollie made a run up to Keller as he was afraid whether it was her bipolar of if it was just as Zosia said. He got on the lift and it felt like 5 hours by the time he located Guy Self-Zosia's Dad. 

"Mr Self..."

"Yes Dr Valentine I am a very busy man you know."Guy replied flicking through some patient files but he noticed how nervous Oliver was.

"Is there a problem Dr Valentine.."

"Well it's about Zosia..."Ollie muttered.

"What about her? Is it the baby? Is she in labour?"Guy interrupted. 

"No no...it's her mood swings... I was wondering whether it was the pregnancy or her bipolar." Ollie managed to say. 

"Ollie.I mean Dr Valentine, my daughter is on her meds. Before you say anything I check her blood every single day and her state of mind is fine. She's pregnant my wife was exactly the same..."Guy trailed off with a tear in his eye. 

"Well thanks Guy,"Guy glared at him,"I mean thanks Mr Self. While I've got you I wondered if I may have a word in private." Guy nodded and he lead him into his office.

"This has to be quick though Dr Valentine."

"I love Zosia so much. She is my everything and I couldn't imagine life without her. This is a lot to ask but I am asking you for the permission if having Zosia's hand in marriage.." Ollie pleaded. 

Guy was taken back. He was everything he wanted as a son-in-law. Respected, intelligent,handsome but most of all he cared for Zosia like Zosia's mother had. After he thought for a moment he answered,"Congratulations..Ollie!"he winked as he shook his hand.

"Thank you so much Mr Self. I promise that I will look after your daughter and I will love her for the rest of my life."Ollie thanked Guy.

"Oh please. Call me Guy!" He said as he left his office. Ollie smiled. His life was piecing together nicely.

Back on Darwin, Zosia was sulking on the chair in the nurses' station stroking her bump.

"Dr March can I have your assistance please?"Elliot asked politely.

"If you think I'm not crazy."She replied as she burst out in tears. Elliot went over and comforted her. 

"Elliot...Ollie thinks I'm crazy. He thinks I've stopped taking my meds but I'm just pregnant."She cried.

"There there Zosia..."Elliot said rubbing her back just as Oliver was walking to the chair.

"I'm sorry Zosh. I love you and you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.."He said.

Zosia stood up and ran to the Staff Room. Ollie looked at Elliot and chased after her. She slammed the door in his face. He debated whether to go in the room but he went in anyway. Ollie took a deep breath in as he walked round to Zosia who was lying on the sofa. Ollie kneeled on one knee in front of her.

"Zosh. I don't know how many times I have said this but you are truly the most amazing girl in the world. You are more clever than I can ever be. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen but most importantly you are the best mum!"He exclaimed putting his hand on Zosia's stomach. Zosia was speechless.

He took a black box out of his pocket and opened it slowly,"Please Zosia March I love you..Will you marry me?"He asked. 

The room went quiet. Elliot, Mo, Jesse were all outside the door listening in on the conversation.

Zosia looked like she was frozen,"I...I...well...yes.."She whispered as she gave Ollie a big kiss. They both laughed as Ollie attempted to put the ring on her finger. 

"I'll do it Ollie."She said grabbing the ring off him."It's beautiful!" 

"Just like you!"

"Ugh Ollie you're so soppy sometimes."

She heaved herself up from the chair and Ollie grabbed her around the waist as Elliot and everyone walked in.

"Congratulations!"They shouted. 

"You were watching!"Ollie jokingly shouted.

"Every minute! How else were you going to film it?"

"Haha okay."Zosia replied.

"I love you Ollie..."Zosia whispered holding onto Ollie.

"I love you more..Mrs Valentine.."Ollie muttered before kissing Zosia.
