Ok I'm sorry because thanks to pianoninja, I've realised that I put about them finding the gender out in this chapter but I'd already said that they were having a girl so I've changed chapter 9, thank you pianoninja :)

After reducing her dosage of the iron supplements to two a day rather than three, and increasing her dosage of stool softeners, Sam's constipation was a lot better so she was going every two or three days with little discomfort compared to what she was in before.

For Tom, the week was dragging for what seemed like forever because he just couldn't wait to get married. For Sam however, it was a normal week where she had tried to get used to her new bladder issue. Luckily, she hadn't had a major bladder leak yet because she had been going to the toilet almost every hour to ensure it was empty.


Friday, 6am
Tom and Sam's alarm went off and they both groggily turned them off. Sam had had Tom's arms wrapped around her and his body curled in exactly the same as his fiancé's so they were touching from head to toe. Once they had blinked a few times, both realised they felt wet down below. Tom pulled the bed sheet back to find that there was a yellow patch on the bed pad but because it was absorbent, it was dry. However, there was a small amount of urine on Tom's shorts and Sam's pad was soaked through.
"Tom, I'm really really sorry." Sam said as she tried to get up but she was feeling uncomfortable.
"It's okay, the bed pad took most of it so you go and jump in the shower and I'll join you in a minute." Tom smiled as he pecked Sam on the forehead before he got out of bed and took a clean bed pad out of the draws.
"Thanks. Not just for this but for everything, you've been so supportive and-" Sam was interrupted by Tom's lips on hers. After a few moments, they both pulled apart.

"I love you, and nothing in the entire world could make me feel otherwise. I know you'd do the same for me so go on, go jump in the shower." Tom smiled. Sam couldn't help but let the grin spread across her cheeks before she grabbed two towels and went into the ensuite bathroom.

It wasn't exactly how Tom imagined his wedding day would begin, but it didn't matter to him. What did matter was that they were actually getting married. He had organised with Zoe to leave work two hours early (at 3pm) when he would tell Sam he was going to work in the labs for the rest of the shift. But really, it was so that he could quickly pack his and Sam's things for their honeymoon hour her knowing.

After changing the bed sheets and the pad, Tom slipped into the shower with his fiancé. Both were naked as they shared the warm stream of water.
"I've booked your 20 week scan by the way. It's at 10am." Tom stated.
"Oh, I was gonna book it today but that's fine." Sam forced a smile.
"Right, I want you to try and get a slightly full bladder okay so we can see our little girl, but don't worry about any leaks because I know the midwife and she's promised to not say a word." Tom explained as he rubbed his fiancé's breasts with his warm hands and leant in to kiss her. Whilst retuning the kiss, Sam also returned the favour by teasing him and stroking his manhood. They soon began making love in the shower and it was Sam's first time since the diagnosis. Luckily she felt more comfortable because they were in the shower so she hoped any leaks would go unnoticed.

There were a few leaks from Sam. Tom noticed them, but the shower soon washed away the pale yellow liquid down the drain and so Tom completely ignored it.


10am
"Samantha Nicholls?" The midwife enquired as she entered the maternity waiting room and stood with a fairly thick patient file. It was thick because in he he army, Sam had had several minor injuries along with a lot of information in her file about her new bladder issue and her pregnancy.

Sam glanced at Tom who gave her a reassuring smile so she walked over and followed the midwife to a small room with a bed in the middle of it. She hadn't sat down in the waiting room because she had attempted to fill up her bladder a lot more than usual so they could get a good look at their little girl and she was worried that she would leak at any minute.

Once Sam glanced at the bed, she saw that there was an absorbent pad laid on the bit where Sam would have her bum.
"Um, I've seen your file and Tom told me so I thought it'd be best to have that just in case." She smiled as she sat down on a chair next to the bed.
"Thanks." Sam forced a smile as Tom helped Sam to get onto the bed without opening her legs too wide.
"No worries, I'm Sarah and I'll be doing your anomaly scan today. Just a few questions before we start so that we know how your pregnancy is going so far. Have you had any bleeding throughout your pregnancy?" Sarah asked.
"Um, I had a bit about 2 weeks after conception but my obstetrician said it was breakthrough bleeding and it was fine." Sam replied.
"Okay, so your last period was 20 weeks ago, and conception was approximately two weeks after that... You're anaemic..." Sarah read off of Sam's notes. "Um, what symptoms or issues have you had other than your bladder problem?" She asked.

"Really bad bloating, constipation, I'm tired a lot but that's because of the anaemia. I've had a bit of dizziness but other than that I think that's it. Oh and I had morning sickness from week 10 to week 13." Sam explained and Sarah wrote it down in Sam's notes.
"Okay. Right, if you could get comfortable and lift your shirt up for me, we can start the scan." Sarah smiled as she pulled over the machine.


Twenty-five minutes later,
After a long period of silence whilst Sarah took notes on the scan and Tom holding Sam's hand, Sarah finally took the probe off of Sam's 20 week bump and printed off two copies of the scan: one for her folder and one for the couple. Sam had spent the whole time focussing on holding her bladder.
"There you go." She smiled as she handed Sam and Tom the photo.
"Thanks." Sam and Tom both replied.
"So I've looked at your baby thoroughly, and as far as I can see, there's no problems whatsoever. Everything is developing normally." Sarah smiled. And Sam and Tom both leant in and gave each other a peck on the lips.

"Now we need to discuss your birth plan." Sarah stated.
"I've already decided. I'm having a home birth without a midwife." Sam stated.
"Are you sure? You don't want a midwife?" She queried. "I've got to say that I don't recommend that."
"I know but we're both doctors, we've both delivered babies and as long as there's no complications, I want to give birth at home with just Me, Tom and our little girl." Sam explained.

After a discussion in which Sam was as stubborn as a mule that she was giving birth at home, she thanked the midwife and left with Tom.
"Listen, I just wanna to and catch up with Sarah. I haven't seen her in years so I'll catch you up yeah?" Tom smiled.
"Yeah sure." Sam agreed and Tom ran back to the office.

"Tom, how can I help?" She asked.
"Um, I'm taking Sam on our honeymoon tomorrow and I just need a letter from you confirming that she's 20 weeks pregnant so she can get on the cruise." Tom explained.
"Sure, I can do that now." She smiled. After a few clicks and a few seconds of typing, she printed a letter and put it in an envelope for Tom.
"Thanks." Tom said as he held the letter.
"No worries."


5pm
Sam had just gotten changed in the toilets- which she did because her twenty week bump was making her self conscious- and she was waiting for Tom in the staff room because he had been working down in the lab for the last two hours. Or so that's what she had been told.

She was sitting on the sofa when Tom came in smiling.
"What're you smirking at?" Sam asked as Tom helped her stand up.
"I've got a surprise for you." Tom said as he took Sam's hand and led her out of the ED and into a car. Zoe was in the drivers seat so it must've been her car. "Right, I'll see you in a little while, just trust me and go with Zoe." Tom gave Sam a kiss on the lips before he opened the passenger side door and helped Sam in. Within seconds, Zoe pulled off leaving Sam baffled.

"What's going on?" Sam asked.
"You'll see." Zoe replied as she tried to hide her smile. Sam then noticed that Zoe was wearing a dress that she didn't wear to work that day. She then noticed the dry cleaning bag in the bag.
"Zoe if your taking me to a party, I'm bloated and I've got a headache so don't even bother." Sam sighed.
"Yeah, Tom knew you'd be bloated so he chose that dress for you, have a look." Zoe said as she stopped at the traffic lights. Sam reached back and undone the zip to reveal her favourite dress. It was a pale blue jersey dress that stopped just on her knee. She loved it because it wasn't tight at all and it clung around her cleavage to bring the attention (that she hated) away from her bump.

"Zoe what's going on?" Sam demanded. She was so confused and she just wanted to go home and crawl into bed for the rest of eternity.
"Like I said you'll find out soon." Zoe said smugly, knowing that it was annoying Sam. She then decided to have a chat with Sam to pass the time as it would take a little while to get to the registry office. "How's your bladder problem?" She asked.
"Fantastic." Sam replied sarcastically.
"No I just mean- Have you had any accidents yet?" She asked.
"Yep." Sam replied bluntly as she tried to be as confident as she could be.
"When was the last one?" Zoe asked.

"When I woke up this morning I was lying in a pool of urine and yes I got Tom wet as well. Is that what you wanted to hear?" Sam snapped.
"No. I didn't mean to upset you... How's Tom been? Supportive?" She asked.
"Zoe where are we..." Sam tried to change the subject but she trailed off once she saw the sign. They were outside the town hall and Sam saw a sign which at the top had registry office along with an arrow pointing left.

"You and Tom are getting married. Tonight." Zoe added and Sam looked at Zoe in amazement. She then looked around her in the car park which was already lit by street lights because it was pitch black at almost 5:30pm, and she saw Tom's car in the distance but it was empty. "C'mon, just get changed here and we'll go straight in." Zoe said as she put on the handbrake.
"I can't." Sam mumbled embarrassingly.
"Why?" Zoe asked softly.
"Because... I need to go to the toilet before we- before anything happens." Sam stuttered.
"Okay, we can go and find somewhere. Don't panic." Zoe said as she grabbed Sam's dress and a small bag containing her shoes and makeup in it. They then headed in for the toilets, after leaving Sam and Zoe's handbag in the car.
