Step # 9: Making amends

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of WaT characters.

NOTE: I had this idea a long time ago but I never managed to put words on it before. It's about Danny but also about Smarty. I wish they were still together...Oh yeah, Elena leaves the team in the beginning...I don't really like her.

Chapter 1

"You still sure about that?" Sam asked the black-haired woman in front of her.

"Yeah, Sophie and I need to fly away from what happened with Carlos and I really could use some sun. It's bloody freezing here..." Elena replied rubbing her arms as Sam smiled. She didn't want to smile actually but she forced herself to.

"Watch out L.A.! Here comes Elena Delgado" Sam said, her forced smile becoming larger. Elena laughed then sighed. It was time they left. Sam took Sophie in her arms and gave her a peck on her cheek. "You take care of your Mum, huh?" she whispered to her ear as Sophie nodded her head. She then hugged Elena as they both tried not to cry.

"I will miss ya"

"I'll miss you too..."

Sam watched them go away, hand in hand and waved them goodbye just before they entered the departure gate. Elena wasn't her best friend but she was a good co-worker and Samantha was sad to see her leave. She went back to her car, settled down behind the wheel and closed her eyes. She had been sick since the morning and another wave of nausea came over her. Actually she had been sick for a few days now and since she was late, she perfectly knew what it meant.

"Shit!"

She couldn't get pregnant. Especially from a one night-stand. She took a deep breath, trying to curb the nausea and waiting patiently for tears to come. But they didn't. She just felt numb, tired and very lonely. She needed Martin right now, she needed him so badly. She needed his arms wrapped around her, his soothing words, his kisses and above all, she needed his love. His true and perfect love. But it was way too late, Martin had moved on and was dating this young and beautiful lawyer. He was with her at the moment, having diner in a classy restaurant while she was alone in her car, probably pregnant from a stranger. When did things become so wrong?
