Zollie - A forbidden love

Chapter 24 - Critical

Ollie's POV

"She's out of theatre." Mr T informs us. I let out my breath, and relax a little.

"So, she's alright then?" I ask, desperately hoping for good news.

""No exactly alright, no. She had a tear in the uterus, and she's lost a lot of blood. The next 24 hours are crucial; she'll either get much better, or drastically deteriorate." Mr T said sadly.

"But, she, she won't die will she?" I ask, my eyes welling up. "And, and, she can have more children, right?"

"I'm afraid I can't say, she's still critical. The damage to her uterus was severe, she has a very low chance of having any more children."

 That hits me like a ton of bricks. Penny might be our only child. Zosia's always wanted more than one, she doesn't want Penny to get lonely. "I need to see her." I say, "If she's going to die, then she at least needs to hold her daughter." 

"Very well. I'll take you to her room, if you'd like to follow me."

I gently pick Penny up, and me and Elliot follow Mr T. He leads us to a side room near the nurses station, and we walk in. I can see Zosia, my beautiful wife to be, laying there, so still, so quiet. I sit down next to her, and take her hand. She looks so frail and vulnerable, as if she's about to break.

"Oh Oliver, I'm so sorry." Elliot says sympathetically. "I'll give you some time alone, tell the others." He says, leaving the room.

I ignore him and look at Penny. "What a mess, eh?" I say to her, "What are we going to do without your mummy?." I sigh, and wipe my eyes. "I love her so much, she can't leave us. I've never told her this, but I love her more than anybody in the world, apart from you of course, and I can't imagine our life without her. Now I'm losing her, I wish I'd told her how much she meant to me more often." 

"You can tell me now Valentine." Zosia's head slowly turns towards us, and a huge smile appears on my face.

"Zosia! You're alright." I gasp.

"Of course I am. What happened?" She groans.

"You has a Caesarian, but there were complications." I explain, "there was a tear in your uterus, and you needed urgent surgery."

"Penny, where is she?" 

"She's right here," I say, helping Zosia sit up. "We've been having a right old time getting to know each other." I gently pass her to Zosia, who starts crying.

"She's gorgeous Ollie. Absolutely perfect." Zosia smiles, looking at Penny, who is happily gurgling now she is finally in her mothers arms. "I can't wait to take her home."

"Whoa, steady on. You've just had major surgery, twice! You're not going anywhere for a good few days, you need to get better."

"I know." She sighs, "I'm just so happy. Things are finally looking up. We've got our beautiful daughter, and I'm marrying the man of my dreams. Nothing can spoil this, nothing. I love you Oll."

"I love you too Zosh."

Quick question: What would you all like to see happening in this fic? Do you guys want them to stay happy, or do you want something bad to happen that really tests their relationship?
