(It was a month since Zosia had officially gone on her maternity leave and she was still heavily pregnant and it was beginning to take its tole. She had been having Braxton Hicks for 3 weeks and each time she panicked. She wasn't ready to be a mum. Whilst all of the commotion was happening Jac also announced her second pregnancy.)

2 weeks previous...

"Hello everybody, can I have your attention please?"Jac announced. Everybody had been so shocked at Jac's manners since she had returned and just accepted the fact that she had just said 'please' and 'hello'.

"Jonny has been dying to tell you this but I wanted to make sure evrything was alright at the 20 week scan!"She hinted.

"Oh Jac! Congratulations!"Elliot screeched as he swooped to give her a hug.

"Yes well done Jac for conceiving a child!"Ollie joked and he gave her a hug.

"Well you're going to be a father any minute now aren't you Dr Valentine?"

"Oh yeah.."Ollie muttered as he was still scared of the prospect of being in charge and caring for another person. He had looked after Zosia but this was different. He would have to clothe, feed and love this child and he was nervous.

(Present)

"Hi Ollie!"Zosia said as he walked through the door after a double shift.

"Hi Zosh!Has our little bundle made any signs of coming to us yet?"He asked excitedly.

"No not yet..."Zosia replied glumly rubbing her stomach.

"Well I'm going to bed now so I'll see you in the morning". Zosia missed having her partner. She missed their snuggles and chats on the bed. She missed working....

The next day Ollie left for his shift and Zosia lay on her back watching The Breakfast show on BBC 1. She rubbed her belly and felt another hard kick as she sat up and stretched. Slowly, she walked over to the kettle and switched the lever before going to the toilet. Whilst relieving her bladder, she read another magazine on motherhood. Suddenly a spider appeared and it make Zosia jumped but then laughed to herself on how stupidly she was behaving. She stood up, got rid of the spider and washed her hands before making a hot chocolate. Sitting on the Sofa, Zosia flicked through her twitter feed and saw a tweet from Ollie,"Can't wait to marry this lady and have our little baby!"

Zosia smiled and commented,"Can't wait to marry this hunk and to give birth already!" She had had enough waiting so she just went to the car and drove down to the hospital.

"Oh Dr March? What are you doing here?"Elliot asked.

"I am so sick of home-life it is so boring. So far I have been watching TV, drinking hot chocolates and killing spiders."she explained and Elliot nodded.

"I don't think Ollie will be to happy to see that you're....."He was cut off.

"Zosh why are you here!You're supposed to be on maternity leave!You're going to get stressed and hurt the baby."Ollie shouted.

"Ms Naylor worked right through and I'm bored Ollie. There isn't anything to do!"

"Stop being a bad mother!"Ollie shouted. He didn't mean for it to come out like it did. She was speechless and tears welled up in her eyes.She couldn't believe Oliver had just said something like that to her especially with her bipolar. She ran to the old staff toilets before splashing her face with water. She looked up to see a very tired, drained really pregnant woman in the mirror.

"I'm ugly"Zosia thought."No wonder Ollie thinks I'm a bad mum!"she cried out loud and sat on the ground. She grabbed her stomach as she felt another Braxton Hick and breathed in and out.

"Dr March are you alright?"Jac asked as she walked in.

"No!"Zosia wailed. "Ollie said I wasn't a good mother and I'm fat and ugly and I'm really big!"

Jac huffed,"I presume Ollie told you I am pregnant so I can't carry you so come on lets go to the staff room..." Zosia nodded her head and sniffed.

As she entered the room Ollie sprinted to the door,"Zosh I'm so sorry!"He reasoned.

Zosia pushed him and replied,"I'm a fantastic mother to my child and I know I'm fat and ugly but at least I want to spend time with my fiance!"

"I do...I have work Zosh. I need to work so we can afford to buy things for our baby and I never meant to say you were a bad mother. "He explained.

"Look Ollie if you..."She began before running to the sink to be sick.

"Zosh?"Ollie yelled. Before he saw his future wife falling to heap on the floor...
