A Not So Perfect Christmas

Okay since you've all asked for a squeal here you go! I didn't realise just how many followers I have of this fic and I think it wasn't fair not write a squeal so here you go and I also dedicate this first chapter to 'Beth81955, cenalover & rivernymph99' Purely because I can always count on you guys to leave a review so I have written this purely for you :)!

Oh and a massive thank you to the amazing Eminem for his inspirational lyrics and his amazing new album which by the way has not left my iPod dock since it came out! :) I should make a few pointers though, Sam still hasn't confronted Zoe and Tom about they're fling, and its set a couple of months into the future roughly near Christmas time,(seeing as we're almost in December anyway, what else is a perfect way to start a story?) Sam and Tom have adopted the two teenagers (if you have read the first fic you will know who they are).

Zoe and Matt are still going strong, much to Ash's jealously.(I have a plan to make Ash try to spilt them up.. whether it works or not you will have to see)! And in some chapters it may seem a cross over with Holby as Sam's and Jonny's friendship becomes stronger as she relies on his friendship more than ever, (and its because of this that makes Tom very paranoid into thinking that Sam is having an affair behind his back, which couldn't possibly be further than then truth, but I can be sure to make that bit funny.) as she tries to deal with three teenagers and the affects of Tom's one night stand with Zoe. But you get the idea.

And enough with my rambling but I just wanted to point out some pointers as so you're aware... Anyway... Enjoy my friends!

Chapter One –

The Car Crash.

It was December time, nearly the end of the year, Christmas wasn't too far away and the kids were off on Christmas break. The snow was falling fast and it seemed like only a couple of hours ago that Sam nodded off to sleep when she and Tom were rudely awoken by Oliver and Charlotte. 'Come on you lazy sods, we need to go Christmas shopping' Charlotte said. Sam rolled her eyes, she and Tom had promised to take the teenagers shopping when they both managed to get a weekend off together. The plan was that Sam and Charlotte were going to do one half of the shopping and Tom and Oliver, Adam was going to do the other half. 'Come on, get up' Oliver said.

'Fine, we're getting up, can you give us another ten minutes please?' Tom asked and the two nodded before they left Sam and Tom alone. Tom got up first, he was dressed in nothing but his boxers. Sam smirked at the view of her husband. 'Like something you see Mrs Kent' he whispered seductively. 'That depends on…' Sam said. 'On what Mrs Kent?' he said. 'My fella is in nothing but his boxers and it's a real nice view' she whispered and Tom smirked. Before he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her softly. It wasn't long before things became heated.

And it was Sam to pull away first. 'Come on, we can't keep the kids waiting any longer, the sooner we get the shopping done the better that it can be ticked off the list of things to do' Sam explains. 'I'll never understand why so many people go to such efforts just for two days' he sighed. 'Well its not just two days is it? It's about spending time with your family and your loved ones, its not just about opening presents. Stuffing your face with food, which by the way Tom this year you could do with cutting down on the mince pies ' Sam joked as she pointed to his near beer belly. 'This is to keep me warm in the winter' he said with a mock tone. 'Come on we need to get dressed. 'Sam said again and with that they did, twenty minutes later after wrapping up as warm as possible and wearing at least two layers of clothing the entire Kent family were ready to start they're Christmas shop.

Since adopting the two teenagers. Sam and Tom had sold both of they're previous flats so they could buy a five bedroom house, which was less then a fifteen minute drive to the ED. And less then half an mile to the closest school which couldn't have been any more perfect and it had a spacious garden. The Kent family had also a new addition to the family a border collie named Cookie. That had been one of Sam's early Christmas presents for Tom, as Tom had always insisted he'd always wanted a dog.

'Have you all got your pocket money? I do hope you've all been saving up like me and Tom told you too' Sam asked the teenagers. 'I've saved all mine but Ollie has spent most of his' Charlotte said. 'Shut up' Ollie replied of his sister. They're relationship kind of reminded Sam of hers and Adam's relationship and it often made her smile.

'Don't worry Ollie, I'll lend you an extra thirty pound but I will want it back, and I will dock a fiver out of your pocket money until it's paid in full okay?' Tom told him and Ollie nodded. 'Sure that's fine with me' he replied. 'Now is everyone got they're seatbelts on?' Tom asked as he started the ignition before pulling out of the snow covered driveway and they were off, but little were any of the Kent trio knew that today wasn't going to be any normal day out. They were heading into town, the drive was a quiet one as Charlotte, Ollie and Adam all had they're iPods on, and it was just Sam and Tom in the front. They had also both sold they're cars so they could afford a big one for the family.

'Tom can you change the radio station?' Sam asked and Tom nodded taking his hand off the driving wheel leaving one hand on the wheel as he changed the station. 'Happy?' he asked and Sam nodded. Before they reached what would be the first traffic jam into town.

'Why oh why did we think it would be a good idea to go Christmas shopping on a Saturday I told you we should leave it to the week but no one would listen' Tom sighed as he strummed his fingers on the dash board. Before he looked and saw Sam texting someone

'Let Me Guess its Jonny?' he asked sulky with a nod of the head from Sam. Tom sighed. 'You two have been texting each other a lot lately, something you want to tell me?' he asked. Taking his eyes off the road and looking at Sam as she began to type away 'no of course not, god why does friendships between men and women always have to be complicated and haven't I already told you, he's with Naylor' Sam told him.

'He says he is.' Tom muttered. Sam rolled her eyes 'Tom no need to be jealous' Sam said. 'I'm not jealous of anything, you see you always do this, cause an argument' Tom muttered. 'How do I cause an argument? Tom you're the one with the jealously issue! There is nothing I repeat nothing going on between me and Jonny, you know what until you grow a pair and stop being so bloody pathetic pull over I'll walk to the mall' Sam said.

'You'll do no such thing!' Tom snapped. 'You want to bet?' Sam asked placing her phone down and undoing her seatbelt. And she leant over to touch the driving wheel to pull over.

'What the hell do you think you're doing you stupid woman!' Tom said. Adam, Charlotte and Ollie remained totally unaware of the argument as all three of them were still listening to they're iPods. As Sam went to try to pull the car over once again and Tom was busying trying to fight her arms off the wheel, they had no chance not to react when the car swerved and lead into an on coming lorry the other end and before Tom had chance to break.. The car crashed sending Tom into unconsciousness and Sam flung back of the car. No one in the Kent Family said a word.
