3pm
Sam sighed with relief when she made it to the staffroom to change from her scrubs, her shift had finished ten minutes ago and she was thankful. Being a single mother meant that her shifts fitted in with her son's timetable and it always meant that she was near enough home for when Daniel returned from school. She changed from her scrubs and into her normal clothes when the staffroom door opened and it revealed Bob. The receptionist,
"Sam. There's someone in reception asking for you" Bob explained. Sam's eyes wided in horror as it meant that Tom had followed her to work that morning, and would know where she was working.
"Who is it Bob?" Sam asked as she closed her locker. "He says his name is Tom. And that you have urgent matters to discuss and that he knows you perfectly well." Bob explained. Sam sighed before nodding. "I'll be out to speak to him in a moment, "she said and Bob nodded. Before he left, Sam buttoned up her coat and left the staffroom and she soon found reception and she saw Tom waiting there.
"Sam, you took your time. " Tom said looking at her. "What do you want Tom?" Sam asked as she began to walk out of her workplace and down the road from the ambulance bay. "You know exactly what I want Sam, I want access, I want to see my son." He spat the words out. Some sounded more angrily than others.
"I told you Tom, you're wasting your time. I'm not going to let you walk all over Daniel" Sam said and Tom shook his head. "You've already made me miss out on so much. I won't let you take any more from me." Tom said and Sam shook her head "Tom you had a chance to be a father and you didn't take that chance instead you chose to sleep with that agency nurse "Sam said and Tom shook his head.
"When are you going to stop using that as an excuse? What about what Daniel wants, what if he wants a relationship with his father. You can't stop him from seeing me if that's what he wants. "Tom said
Sam nodded "I can, you're forgetting I have full custody of him and it's up to me if you're going to have access." Sam stated and Tom shook his head "it's not up to you at all. It's up to the courts. I will fight you Sam mark my words. I will fight you. I will take you to court and I will take my son back" Tom threatened.
"he doesn't even ask about you tom, you've been out of his life for so long he doesn't even ask about his dad. Or where you are and frankly I and he don't need you." Sam stated as she headed home, Tom followed suit.
"I mean it Sam. I will fight you. I'll take you to court" Tom stated.
"I'll like to see you try it. " Sam retorted.
"Sam you don't want to pick fights with me, you don't know what I'm capable of." He said.
"Oh I do know what you're capable of. I remember that time you hit me. "Sam retorted the memory
"When are you going to stop using things from the past Sam? I want my son and I want access to him and I will get it, whatever it takes. "Tom stated.
"Mum?" Daniel said as he approached the flat that he and Sam were living in, before he eyed this mystery man on the doorstep.
"Mum, who is he?" Daniel asked looking at Sam, Sam looked at Tom, who looked back at her.
"Sam, you going to introduce me or shall i?" Tom asks.
"Daniel, Son. This is your father…" Sam stated.
