A/N So, as I said in the most recent chapter of LiAaR, I'm doing this as a prequel to that FanFic (as I started LiAaR too late into the pregnancy). Hope you enjoy it! :-D

Sam and Tom were sitting on the sofa together, watching TV. However, Tom was deep in thought.

"Sam?" he asked, wondering how to ask what he wanted to ask.

"Yeah?" said Sam, turning to him.

"Um, I'm not really sure how to put this, but..." Tom began.

"Tom, just spit it out, I don't really care how embarrassing it is," Sam interrupted.

"OK," said Tom. He took a deep breath. "Are you on your period at the moment?"

"Tom!" Sam exclaimed, before turning red.

"I don't care how embarrassing it is," mocked Tom.

"Shut up!" said Sam, playfully elbowing him in the ribs.

"Oh, come here, I'm sorry," said Tom, pulling her into a hug. Almost immediately Sam relaxed, resting her head on his chest.

"You still haven't answered my question," said Tom.

"Why do you want to know anyway?" asked Sam.

"Tell me and I'll tell you," said Tom.

"Fine," said Sam. "I'm not."

"Good," said Tom.

"Why?" asked Sam.

"Because," said Tom, taking a deep breath. "Because I was wondering if, well, if you wanted to start a family."

"What, now?" asked Sam.

Tom nodded.

Sam turned slightly redder. "I have to admit, I was thinking the same thing the other day."

"Were you?" Tom asked.

Sam nodded.

"And?" asked Tom.

Sam nodded. "I think it's a good idea."

Tom smiled.

"When do you want to start trying?" asked Sam.

"Tomorrow?" suggested Tom.

Sam nodded. "OK, yeah, because neither of us have got to go in in the morning the on Friday have we?"

Tom shook his head. "OK, that's sorted then," he said. "Thursday 12th February, our bedroom, 8:00. Dress code: birthday suit!"

"Tom!" said Sam, before hitting him in the face with a cushion.

Tom then stole the cushion off her and hit her on the head. It wasn't hard but tears sprung to Sam's eyes.

"Sam?" asked Tom.

"That hurt!" said Sam, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Oh, Sam, I'm sorry," said Tom, pulling her in for a hug. As soon as he did that Sam grabbed the cushion wriggled out of his arms and whacked him on the head with it, hard.

"OW!" cried Tom. Sam was sat there laughing.

"It didn't really hurt me, but I knew you'd believe me and then I'd get the cushion!" she explained.

"Right, that's it!" said Tom. He threw the cushion behind the sofa, where neither if them could reach it, and then began to tickle Sam.

"Ah, Tom, stop, Tom, Tom, that's not even funny, Tom, stop!" said Sam through her laughs as Tom tickled her.

"You're laughing, so it must be funny," stated Tom as he continued to tickle her.

"Seriously, it's not, please stop, Tom, stop, please!" said Sam trying to wriggle away.

"OK, OK, I'm sorry," said Tom, stopping tickling her.

Sam then got off the sofa, and used her MMA skills to get him into a headlock.

"Oh, thanks, Sam," said Tom, whilst he tried to get her off.

"Now you know why you don't fight with me!" said Sam, laughing at his weak attempts to remove her arms from around his neck.

"Yes, I do," said Tom. He then gave up trying to get her off him. "Sam, can you get off me, please?"

Sam laughed and released her arms. Tom then got off the sofa and leant down to kiss her, and Sam leant up to kiss him. Their heads moved in sync, and they wrapped their arms around each other. They then pulled away for air.

Tom smiled. "You're amazing, you know that?"

Sam smiled and blushed. "Thanks."

Tom placed a gentle kiss to her forehead, before he grabbed the TV remote and turned off the TV. "Come on, let's go up to bed."

"OK," said Sam, yawning.

They then both went up to the bedroom and got ready for bed, before they pulled the duvet back and got into bed. Sam snuggled up to Tom when they were both under the duvet, resting her head on his chest. She then shivered.

"You cold?" asked Tom.

"No, I'm OK," lied Sam. She then shivered again.

"You are, aren't you?" Tom stated rather than asked.

Sam nodded, before she curled up small to try and make herself warmer.

"Silly girl," said Tom, shaking his head in mock annoyance. He then got out of bed and grabbed his warmest hoodie from his wardrobe, before returning to the bed. "Wear this."

"You sure?" Sam asked.

"Of course I am!" said Tom. "You haven't got any clothes as warm as that, and I'm not cold. And even if I do get cold I've got a whole half a wardrobe full of them, so I'll be fine!"

"OK," said Sam. She put the hoodie on, and then she curled up next to Tom again under the duvet, resting her head on his chest.

"You warm enough now?" asked Tom.

Sam nodded.

"Good," said Tom, wrapping his arms around her. He felt her relax, which he loved, because it made him know that he made her feel safe. And if they were going to have a baby that was just what they needed: a safe, loving environment. He then felt Sam go limp, which meant she had fallen asleep. He smiled to himself as he too fell asleep, thinking about tomorrow evening, when they would try for their first child.

A/N Hope you liked the first chapter! Please read and review! :-D
