Chapter 2
Luckily, the next day Sam and Tom were both working the day shift, so after they dropped the girls to school they headed to work as the two newlyweds.
All of the others were keen to hear all of the details of their honeymoon, but it wasn't long before they were back into their doctor roles doing the job they loved. It was soon time to pick the girls up from school, but their shift hadn't quite finished. Sam nipped out and picked them both up before bringing them back to the hospital with her.
"Are you two going to be alright in here for a bit? We won't be too much longer" Sam asked Ellie and Sophie
"Yeah we'll be fine" Ellie replied
"Well help yourself to biscuits. Have you got any homework or anything you can be doing?"
Ellie did but Sophie didn't so Sam gave her her phone to play on instead.
Sam was still on her break so went to speak to Zoe about sorting out the shifts so that it was only ever one of them on a night shift. Zoe was happy to help and sorted it out for them.
"Ellie, I need a wee" Sophie said to Ellie as they sat in the staff room
"Okay, let's go and try and find the loos then"
On their way a man was rushed in from the ambulance covered in blood and not in a very good way at all.
Sophie began to feel a bit dizzy.
"Ellie, I don't feel very well" Sophie informed her elder sister before passing out in her arms
Sam was just walking through reception so saw Sophie faint in Ellie's arms and rushed over to them. She scooped Sophie up in her arms and carried her over to one of the beds in cubicles. Luckily it didn't take long for Sophie to come round. Sam passed her some water and she started taking small sips from it.
"Did Sophie say she wasn't feeling very well Ellie?" Sam asked wondering what was wrong with her youngest niece
"I think it was because she saw that man all covered in blood. She's not very good with things like that"
Sam was relieved that there wasn't anything wrong with her niece. Sophie stayed on the bed for the rest of Sam and Tom's shift, but soon it was time for the four of them to go home.
"Right then girls, what do you fancy for dinner?" Sam asked as they pulled into the car park at the supermarket
"I don't mind" Ellie replied being polite
"Please can we have a stir fry? You make the best one ever Auntie Sam" Sophie exclaimed
"Of course we can" Sam replied before they all went in and got some shopping for the next few days. It was very different buying for the girls as well, but lovely at the same time for Sam.
When they got home Sam made a start on tea whilst Tom played on the wii with the girls. Once it was ready they all sat around the table and talked about their days. It was so nice for the girls. It was very rare that their Mum cooked them a proper home- cooked meal and even rarer that they actually sat down as a family.
After tea Sam gave Sophie a bath and got her into her pyjamas, and then Ellie had a shower. Whilst Ellie was in the shower Sam dried Sophie's hair and then did Ellie's for her after she came out of the shower.
"Sam?" Ellie said
"Yeah"
"No, it doesn't matter actually" Ellie said changing her mind about talking to Sam about it
"Go on, tell me"
"No, I wasn't going to say anything" Ellie lied
"Come on Els, you know you can trust me. I won't tell anyone"
"I was just wondering if we could go shopping sometime"
"Of course we can, is there anything you need in particular?"
"Urmm, I was kind of wondering if I could maybe get some bras?" Ellie replied her cheeks flushing as she felt a little bit embarrassed
"Of course we can. Has your Mum not bought you any?"
"No, she never made it very easy to talk to her about things like that. And I just feel so uncomfortable whenever we get changed for PE"
"How about we nip into town after school tomorrow then?"
"Yes please"
"Okay, and Ellie you know you can always come to me about anything. I know you're starting to, you know grow up a bit now. So don't be afraid to ask for anything you need"
"Thanks Auntie Sam" Ellie said giving her Auntie a big hug
