A/N Hey guys! Yes, I know, another new FanFic in another new category, when I haven't actually finished any of my other FanFics (apart from my one-shot, but that doesn't really count as a story!). Anyway, on with the FanFic!

Sam rolled over in bed, being careful not to lie on her stomach. She was now nineteen weeks pregnant, and was always being very cautious not to squash the baby that was growing inside her. Tom felt her moving and woke up.

"Morning Sam," he said sleepily.

"Morning," Sam replied. She sat up slightly and rubbed her eyes. "What time do we have to get up?"

"In about..." Tom was interrupted by his alarm going off. "Now!"

"Uh," groaned Sam, flopping back onto the pillow and closing her eyes.

"Get up, Sam," said Tom. When she didn't move he began to tickle her.

"Ah, get off Tom!" said Sam, trying to get away.

"Not until you get up," said Tom firmly, and continued to tickle her.

"Please, Tom, stop," said Sam, pulling her knees up to her chest to stop him from getting to her ticklish spots. Unfortunately she squashed the baby slightly, who kicked in protest.

"Tom, please," said Sam. "I'm squashing the baby."

"Oh, sorry," said Tom, and immediately stopped tickling her. "Seriously though, you need to get up."

"Fine," said Sam, and slowly began to get out of bed.


Half an hour later Sam and Tom had both showered, got dressed and had breakfast, and were on their way to the ED. They arrived quarter of an hour early, got changed into scrubs, and then were ready for their first patients.

"Zoe, what have you got for me?" asked Sam.

"Um, in a few minutes we've got some people from an RTC coming in," Zoe told her.

Right on cue, ambulance sirens could be heard, and Sam, Tom, Zoe and other nurses and doctors rushed outside to help.

"What have we got?" Sam asked when she got to a stretcher, and she and Dixie started to wheel it in.

"Right, twenty two year old male, driver of the car," said Dixie as she began to wheel the stretcher towards resus. "Sustained injury to the head, leg and arm, and has been unconscious since the crash. He was KOed at the scene; BP is 150 over 60, GCS 6, stats 80%." By this time they were in resus. "OK, on three, one, two three," said Dixie, and the man was moved over to the bed.

"Right, could we have a litre of saline," said Sam taking charge. Just then the man woke up. "Oh, hello, my name's Doctor Nicholls but you can call me Sam. What's your name?"

"Darren Smith," said Darren.

"OK, Darren, are you in any pain?" asked Sam.

"My head," Darren replied. "And my arm and leg."

"OK," said Sam. "On a scale of one to ten how bad would you say the pain is?

"About eight," said Darren.

"OK, let's give him ten of morphine," said Sam, and one of the nurses got onto it.


After Sam had finished treating Darren, his wife (Hannah) and his daughter (Lisa) also came in, but with relatively minor injuries. Sam was on a break in the staffroom (after she had treated them all) and Tom came to join her.

"You OK?" he asked.

"Yeah," said Sam. "I'm tired, but I'm OK."

"Here," he said, passing her a cup of coffee. "Drink this: it'll make you feel better."

"Thanks," she said, smiling at him.

Tom sat down on a stool next to her. "How's the baby?" he asked.

"It's been kicking all morning!" said Sam, smiling.

Tom smiled, and felt her stomach. Sure enough, the baby was kicking furiously!

"Hopefully it'll wear itself out soon!" said Sam.

"I think it's just going to wear you out!" said Tom.

"I'll be fine," said Sam, smiling brightly. She then looked at her watch. "Sorry Tom, I've got to start my shift again."

"OK," said Tom. "See you later."

"Bye," said Sam, and left to start work again.


The rest of the day went pretty smoothly (as nothing really major happened), and very soon (well, as it seemed to them anyway) Tom and Sam were standing in the locker room, getting their things before they went home.

"Has it stopped kicking yet?" Tom asked, gesturing to Sam's stomach.

"Not quite!" said Sam tiredly.

"Well, let's get you two home and then you can have a nice rest on the sofa!" said Tom.

"Sounds like a good idea!" said Sam, and she and Tom walked out of the ED together.
