Zosia went into the relatives room up on Darwin. The girls had got bored of bracelets and we're now playing some sort of complicated game which Maisie seemed to be changing the rules of every few seconds. But Jasmine was now watching them. 'Jasmine, where's Ollie?' Zosia asked 'He was with Mr Santos last time I checked. He should be back in a bit' Jasmine answered. 'Thanks Jas. I need to find him now!' Jasmine smiled at Zosia as she left the relatives room.
Ollie was sat at the nurses station with consultant Mo Effanga. 'Ol I need to talk to you' Zosia demanded. He turned to face her 'Are you okay Zosh?' Ollie asked concerned. 'I'm fine, Mo can I borrow Ollie for five minutes?' Zosia asked. 'Sure' Mo answered.
They went to sit in the staff room. 'Look, Ollie. I know this is a huge ask, but when we move in next week can Natalia move in with us. If not she has to go into an eating disorders unit. My mama would have been so disappointed in me if I can't look after her.' Zosia felt herself having to blink back tears, she knew her mother, would've been disappointed that Zosia hadn't kept in touch with Ali 'Zosh,' Ollie smiled 'she's a part of your family, of course she can stay with us, for as long as she needs to... So long as you two don't start talking in Polish about me' that caused Zosia to giggle. 'Thank you Ollie' Zosia kissed his cheek. 'And for covering my shift' Ollie smiled at the girl he loved so much 'I'll come down to AAU to see you both after this shift' Zosia kissed Ollie again. 'Hey lovebirds' Mo had come into the staff room 'Zosia I'm going to have to steal your boyfriend off you for a few hours' Mo smiled
Meanwhile in Darwins consultants office
'Well if the cardio issues are underlying then we can do that op after he's recovered from the neurosurgery' Jac Naylor rolled her eyes. She didn't like many people but Guy Self, Zosia's father, really knew how to push her buttons. She was glad this conversation was coming to an end. 'Yes.' Guy agreed 'I'll let the patient know.' Guy turned to leave 'how's your niece doing?' Jac added before he left. He turned round. 'What niece?'
'Natalia!' Jac answered
'What about her?' Guy asked
'I thought someone would have said, she on AAU, don't worry though, Zosia is with her and seems to have everything under control'
