Falling for You

Chapter 14

It had been several hours since Ollie was rushed into theatre and now he was in ICU with a ventilator. The surgery had gone good according to Guy, a vast majority of the tumour had been removed but he would still chemotherapy to eradicate any remnants.

"Hey Zoshieeee," Guy said as he found his daughter wondering the corridors, looking distraught and tired. She began to open her mouth,
"He's okay, I got most of it." Her body relaxed in relief, "He's in ICU, they'll be waking him up soon." Zosia clenched Guy's hand before running down the corridor.

She came to a halt outside the door, and took a deep breathe in. She then placed a gentle hand on her slightly rounded stomach and walked through the door. Ollie was lying oblivious to the world and had a deep line of stitches that ran from his forehead, his shaven head only seemed to make it appear larger and perhaps more gruesome.

"You know Ols, the whole 'I just escaped prison' look really don't look good on you." she smiled, "You are really gonna hate it but I still love you either way." She then kissed his temple.

Mo then walked into the room,
"How you doing selfie junior?" She smiled,
"I'm good, so much better knowing he's going to be okay." She said as she stroked Ollie's cheek.

"I'm going to take him off the ventilator now, you want to stay?" Zosia nodded. Mo slowly took the tube out and gently Ollie began to wake, his baby blue eyes then pierced open.
"Zosh." He whispered groggily, Zosia simply grabbed his hand and he then gently smiled. "How did it go?"

"Guy got most of it out, you're still gonna need chemo but you need to be stronger for that so looks like your gonna be in bed for a few weeks Valentine." Mo laughed, knowing how much Ollie would be frustrated.

"Thanks Mo." Ollie smiled, she then left leaving Zosia and Ollie alone. An awkward silence then filled the room,
"Ollie why didn't you tell me?" She frowned,
"I didn't want to scare you, you've had a hard time this year as it-" Zosia interrupted.

"No, you can't use that excuse anymore, I want to be there through the good, the bad and the ugly times because Ollie, I love you. I bloody love you and I need you now more then ever and the thought of you leaving me, made me want to smack you." Ollie laughed gently,

"I love you too." Zosia then kissed Ollie on the lips with so much lust and passion,
"Now Daddy Valentine, you better get well soon, can't have you moping about."

A puzzled look filled Ollie's face, "What did you call me?" Zosia smirked and then placed Ollie's hand on her stomach.
"Your gonna be a daddy Valentine."

Ollie's shock soon dissipated as he was hit with a wall of emotion. A single tear then slid down his cheek.

Out of all the darkness he was yet to face there was at least some light.
