A/N: Hi guys if you have decided to read this thank you so much. There are just a few things you should know before you carry on reading. I may not be the best for updating but I do try my best but many of you will understand when I say I am in year 11 and working for my GCSE's. I also write a lot when I am traveling. This is because I have family all over the UK and I travel a lot with the school I am at. I am open to suggestions. Also the writing in italics are flashbacks of Sam or Tom's it should be obvious when you read it.
It was twenty to three in the morning when it happened. There I was lying I bed next to Tom. I didn't wake him because I didn't want to startle him. I didn't even know what it was. I couldn't describe to you how much the pain had shocked me. It wasn't particularly painful it was just scary. Before long the pain was unbearable I knew I had to wake up Tom.
"Tom, Tom, wake up!" I said
"Sam, what's wrong?" asked Tom fumbling around to turn on the light.
"Something's not right the pain is unbearable now I tried to take it but I can't" I replied
Tom put his hand on my stomach. I had no idea what he was doing I hoped he was gonna try to protect our baby we tried so hard to get. We went through two rounds of IVF to get this baby I was going to fight so hard to save this child of mine. We had gone to a scan earlier that day and we knew we were having a girl. Tom couldn't wait. When we were told he had tears in his eyes. I couldn't believe the sight that had stood before me. In all the years that I had known Tom, through the move and the IVF, I had never seen him cry. He had always been my rock.
"Sam its ok, don't worry it is just the baby kicking for the first time. You know you really scared me there don't do that to me" Said Tom after a long silence between us since as he was checking my bump
"Tom, I am so sorry that I woke you up I just…" I didn't know what else to say
"Ah you big softy, come here, I don't care we're in this together your problems are mine. I don't care what time of day or night it is you call me up, I promise you I will be there whenever I can be."
I really wish he had never said that to me. If he hadn't then maybe he would be here with me and not in that room somewhere in ICU. He left me this earlier this morning when I asked him if he would go and get me some rocky road ice-cream. Here I am sitting in the maternity ward on my own and to make matters worse I am in the early stages of labour. Fletch managed to get time off work to come and sit with me. Don't get me wrong I am grateful but he isn't Tom. He doesn't understand. He was able to have kids with Natalie but what did he do, he went and left her with the kids. I know he loves them but if he went through what we went through maybe he wouldn't have been so quick to leave. Tom had been so excited ever since I told him I was pregnant. I must say I left it a while since I knew to tell him. I decided it would be fun to tell him by sending him little signs like not drinking and rubbing my belly as much as I would remember to. In the end I gave up on sending him hints and I just out right told him.
"Tom come in here" I said
"Sam, yo what's up darling"
"Tom, One never call me darling again Two Don't say Yo again it doesn't suit you and I want to talk to you" I told him sternly
"Sam what's up is there something wrong"
"No not at all, actually it is something we really want. We have wanted it for a long time" I said
I had barely finished my sentence before a huge smile crept up onto his face. He knew what I meant and I couldn't have been Happier when I spoke to him. I knew that it was what we both wanted. This was it I knew it would never get any better than this I had thought. It seems that I had been right.
Tom was run over this morning. He was hurrying to get back for me. I had rung him ten minutes before he got hit telling him I thought I was going into labour. To the best of my knowledge he has been resuscitated twice and for now he is stable but I don't know if he will ever see our little girl.
"Sam. Can you believe that this picture in my hand is a picture of our baby the baby that is in your stomach, How weird is that"
"Tom, Of course it is weird but it's our baby and we will do it together" I said
"Yeah we will but I must say that our little girl will be such a daddy's girl that you are not gonna get half as much attention as I will" Joked Tom
"I think our girl will be perfect as long as she doesn't get your fear of heights and she gets my sense of adventure" I replied as Tom just smiled at me
It makes me feel so bad that if it wasn't for me he would be in this room all giddy with excitement for his child entering the world. However excited I was throughout this pregnancy Tom was always ten times more excited than I was. He was always more nervous than I was. I just cannot believe that I am now here doing this on my own.
"Sam, are you ok, you seem a bit distant" said Fletch pulling me out of my thoughts
"Yes, Fletch I just can't stop thinking about Tom all alone in that room" I said and Fletch stood up and hugged me and another contraction came along.
A/N: Thank you again for reading I really hope you like it and I should be able to update soon as it is half term.
