Okay, so I was more than a little shocked when Sam ended up in bed with Dominic and then when he thought she could be pregnant…so although it turned out to be nothing in the show, I began to think about what might happen if she had been. I hope someone is reading this.
How Could I Let This Happen
Sam/Davey/Dominic
…
Sam stared at the package in her hands, terrified of what could possibly change her life forever. She rushed to the toilet and did what needed to be done before returning to the sitting room to anxiously wait for the results. She couldn't begin to think about what would happen if she was indeed carrying Dominic's child, how could she be so stupid. A woman of forty-nine sleeping with a boy of twenty made the situation worse, not to mention that he was the adoptive Son of possibly her only true Friend in Glendarroch. She barely remembered anything from that night, she was so drunk it had been totally erased from her memory. She checked her watch and noticed that the 2 minutes were up, she leaned forward and picked up the test to read the results and her heart sank as she saw the 2 lines confirming that she was indeed pregnant. She quickly hid the test down the side of the sofa when she heard the door knob turning. She looked up to see Davey Sneddon walking in, looking slightly annoyed.
"Yes, what is it David."
"Where the hell have you been, we had a meeting remember?"
"What, oh yes sorry….I forgot."
"You forgot, you don't forget. Especially when it comes to this place, your livelyhood…"
"David, please. I'm really not in the mood for an argument right now."
"Why, have you been drinking again?"
"Oh for god sake David, in case you hadn't noticed….I haven't had a drink in over 3 weeks."
"You really expect me to believe that, do you."
"Well look over there, do you see any bottles."
He looked over at her liquor cabinet and took note of the lack of alcohol present.
"What made you stop then?"
…
She sat in silence as he closed the door and went to sit beside her. He glanced at her and noticed the concerned look on her face.
"What's up with you Woman, you're not your usual self?"
"My god, concern from David Sneddon, I must be dreaming." She said, sarcastically.
"Sam, level with me here….what's wrong."
"Oh David, I've done something so incredibly foolish."
"Well you already came close to marrying a murderer, what could be worse than that." He joked.
"David, that's not funny."
"Yeah I know, sorry. Talk to me Sam, you know you can trust me."
She looked into his eyes and sure enough, they were filled with nothing but concern for her.
"The other day when Jude made that comment in front of the staff in the kitchen."
"Hey look, I already told her off about that. I thought she'd apologised to you, I told her too…I'll have a word…."
"No David, you don't understand."
"What do you mean?"
"When she announced to the entire staff that I'd slept with Dominic…"
"Yeah."
"She wasn't lying David."
…
She watched his face for any kind of reaction but he was extremely hard to read. He sat back looking at her, shock clearly on his face.
"Now just hang on one damn minute, you're telling me Jude wasn't lying?"
"Yes…."
"That you slept with Dominic."
"Yes, for god sake David what part don't you understand."
"Oi, don't get snippy with me. You're the one who's slept with a bloody child."
"He's 20-years-old."
"I don't give a damn what age he is, he's still young enough to be your Son. Jesus christ Woman, what the bloody hell was going on in that head of your's."
"I don't know, I just don't know. I was so drunk, I don't even remember that night. I just remember waking up the next morning and he was lying beside me, looking more than a little pleased with himself."
"Well no bloody wonder, he just snagged the Lady Laird."
"Will you stop making a joke about this, David this is serious." She said, her voice shaking.
"Oh come on Sam, no one needs to know about it. The Lad's not gonna say anything is he."
"He promised he wouldn't but then again he did tell Jude."
"Yeah well so long as he doesn't go telling anyone else."
"That maybe harder than you think."
"How do you mean?"
…
He watched as Sam turned around and retrieved the small white stick she'd been hiding when Davey had first entered the room and handed it to him. He took it from her, not entirely sure of what he was looking at.
"You're gonna have to enlighten me here Sam, I'm just a Game Keeper after all. What is it I'm looking at here."
"It's a pregnancy test David, a positive pregnancy test to be exact." She said, quietly.
"So what you're telling me here is that…."
"I'm pregnant with Dominic's Child."
"Bloody hell Sam."
"I know, I know."
"HOW THE BLOODY HELL COULD YOU BE SO STUPID."
She watched as he got up and began pacing in front of her, she felt like a naughty school Girl being summoned to the Principal.
"Do you think I don't know how bad this is, I'm not proud of it by any means."
"Sam this is…..he's a Boy."
"I know that David and I feel utterly ashamed, I do."
"You see what drinking does to you."
"Well you're one to talk."
"Okay I know, but my drinking has never gotten to the extent of your's. This is bad Sam. You're lucky he's twenty and not younger or you'd be facing criminal charges."
"David, I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I never meant for it to get this far."
He watched as tears fell from her eyes, something that wasn't normally associated with Sam Hagen. He moved to sit beside her and brought her into his arms and just held her as she cried.
