What Ever It Takes
Chapter 1
Morning sunlight streamed into the window as Sam slowly opened her eyes. She was expecting to roll over and snuggle into Tom's arms but found his side of the bed empty. As she pushed herself into a more seated position, she felt a sudden sharp pain on the right side of her abdomen.
'Tom!' She shouted
'What?' Shouted Tom up the stairs
'Come here' she replied, pain obvious in her voice.
'But Sam, we need to get ready for work...' said Tom walking up the stairs.
'Whats wrong?' He continued sitting down on the bed and pulling Sam into a hug.
'I don't feel so good' mumbled Sam into Tom's chest.
'You do look a bit pale and you've got a slight temprature. How about I make you some toast? You might feel better after you've eaten something.' said Tom with a really concerned look on his face
'No, I'm not hungry' replied Sam releasing herself from Tom's arms and standing up.
But as she got up off the bed a sudden wave of nausea hit her and she ran into the ensuite to be sick.
As she was crouched over the toilet she felt Tom's warm hand on her back.
'Sam, Why don't you take today off?' He suggested.
'No, I'll be fine' replied Sam splashing her face with cold water.
'If you say so' said Tom walking out of the ensuite to get ready for work.
Fifthteen minutes Later...
Sam and Tom where in the car on their way to work when Sam felt another sharp pain in the right side of her abdomen.
'Ow' she said under her breath.
'You OK?' Said Tom noticing the look of discomfort on Sam's face.
'Tom,Can you pull over I think I'm going to be sick' said Sam shakily.
'OK' said Tom pulling over and get turning off the engine.
Sam immediately opened the door and ran to the nearest bush to be sick again. Tom followed wondering what was wrong with his fiancée.
'Sam, Your Obviously not well. How about I take you back home and put you to bed?' Suggested Tom looking at his watch. It was already quarter past eight and their shift started at half past.
'OK' said Sam finally giving in.
As Tom tried to help her up from the floor the pain in her abdomen suddenly flared up.
'Ahhhh' she screamed
'Woah! Shhh. It's ok baby.' Said Tom as her pulled Sam into a hug and rubbed her back 'Where does it hurt?' Questioned Tom. He was really worried about Sam now.
'The right side of my abdomen' whispered
Suddenly the penny dropped for Tom. Sam was showing all of the symptoms of appenditis.
'Right Sam. I'm going to call an ambulance because I think you might have appenditis' said Tom trying to reassure Sam.
