What Ever It Takes
Chapter 12
Half an hour later Tom had just walked back into the ED after getting the car when Zoe called Tom into her office.
'Tom, I found something in Sam's blood results that I think you both should be aware of.' She said. 'Sam's pregnant, Tom. Congratulations.'
'What! Does she know? How far is she along?' Said Tom a huge smile on his face. He was going to become a father.
'Looking at the results I would guess that she is between six and eight weeks along. But we just need a midwife to confirm' said Zoe. 'Oh and I have signed all of the relevant paperwork for Sam's discharge so when you are ready you can go.'
'Thank you, Zoe. Thank you for everything' said Tom grabbing the door handle. He couldn't wait to tell everyone the great news.
'Tom wait' said Zoe. 'I'm really pleased for you both. You and Sam are going to make brilliant parents' As she said this she wrapped her hands around Tom. Zoe had never really shown her friendly side around Tom. She was always in clinical lead mode and didn't really show any emotion. He hoped that she showed him this side to her more often because he liked this newfound friendship.
Once Tom was reunited with Sam, after hearing the great news, they sat entwined in each others arms for at least ten minutes until Fletch came to clear the cubicle.
'Sorry! I wasn't interrupting anything was I?' He said.
'No' said Tom with a huge grin on his face.
'You're keeping something from me aren't you?' Said Fletch in his signature tone 'You are! Its written all over both of your faces! Come on you can tell Uncle Fletch!'
'Well if you promise to keep your mouth shut' said Tom 'You're not going to be the only one with kids around here. Sam and I, we're having a baby' he continued trying to hide his exitement.
'Oh! That's lovely! You two are going to make wonderful parents!' Said Fletch.
'Please keep your mouth shut though because if Robyn where to find out it would be around the hospital in a hour' said Sam.
'My lips are sealed! Now you two better get going. Tess will go spare if she finds out this cubicle isn't clear! Congratulations by they way!' Said Fletch as Tom helped Sam into a wheelchair and out of the ED doors.
