"Sam…you need talk to me…what's wrong?" Steve asked looking to her getting a bit frustrated with her silence. "You're worrying me now…this isn't like you." He told her looking to her. She didn't look good and now she had something to tell him and she couldn't get the words out. A million one things went through his mind right now. Was she ending it with him? Could he not give her something she needed? Did she need more than what this relationship could offer her? All he could think about right now was the moment Catherine left him and how he felt back then about the reasons she gave him about why she was leaving him. He really didn't want to feel like that again and he loved Sam more than anything. He loved her more than he ever loved Catherine and that was something special. Shaking his head he sighed as he removed his arms from around her and looked to her and shrugged. "If you're leaving me just say it. Not point beating around the bush."
Sam couldn't find the words she needed to tell him he was going to be a dad. It was a scary thing to do! They'd only been together for less than two years…was it too soon for them? Hearing him say about her leaving him she frowned in confusion as she looked to him, turning to face him slightly. "Leaving you? Why would you think I was leaving you?" She asked looking to him.
Steve looked to her and shrugged. "Well what else am I supposed to think Sam? You wanna talk but when I get out here you don't say anything? It usually only means one thing and that's you wanting out of this relationship."
Shaking her head she sighed as she climbed and straddled his lap and pressed her forehead to his, keeping the blanket around her, she was still freezing! "I'm not leaving you silly. That's never going to happen. I love you more than anything Steve. And this last twenty four hours has really put in perspective how much I do love you. If I had lost you…I don't know if I had been able to get through the rest of my life without you. You are my everything. My whole life changed when I met you, and it changed even more when I fell in love with you." She whispered to him keeping her forehead pressed gently to his.
Moving his hands to her hips he listened to her as she spoke before he then sighed as he looked to her. "Then what's the problem? What aren't you telling me?"
"It's not a problem per say…." She paused and took a breath before she then looked to him. "We're having a baby…"
Steve looked to her. "That's what you were so afraid to tell me? You're pregnant?" He asked looking to her.
Sam nodded a little. "Yeah…I thought that…you wouldn't want me anymore. Wouldn't want us…" She admitted in a whisper refusing to look at him. She couldn't! She was too scared!
Steve shook his head as he cupped her face gently in his hands and kissed her. "Don't be so silly." He mumbled against her lips before he smothered her face in kisses and smiled. "I promised you when you had your very first pregnancy scare that when the day finally came that I would stand by you…" He looked to her and smiled. "And I still stand by that promise. I love you Sam. And I'm going to love this baby." He whispered moving his hand to her stomach. "Our baby…"
Scrunching her face up and laughing a little as he smothered her in kisses she looked to him and smiled a little. "So…you're…happy about the baby?" She asked looking to him. She had stressed so much about his reaction; she just wanted him to be happy.
"Of course I am…what made you think I wouldn't be happy about it?" Steve asked looking to her, moving his arms tightly around her as he kissed her head.
"I dunno…just thought the timing was all wrong…with the business and everything, then when you went missing and Danny got hurt…well the only thing I could think about was how was I supposed to raise this baby on my own without you. And without even telling you…" She shrugged and sighed a little as she looked to him. "I don't want you to feel trapped."
Steve shook his head as he looked down to her. "You overthink things so much. I'm okay…and I'm here for you and our baby. Nothing is ever going to change that. And I certainly don't feel trapped…if anything I thought this was kinda the next step for us anyway…starting our own family…" He smiled and gently tightened his arms around her. "When did you find out?" he asked looking down to her.
"Yesterday morning." She whispered. "I grabbed a test on the way to work…and then when you went missing…I completely forgot about it." She looked to him. "Kono knows…she seen the test in my bag. She's the one who convinced me to tell you…"
Steve frowned as he looked down to her and sighed. "You didn't want to tell me?"
"I didn't know how too…" She admitted before she looked up to him. "I was so scared…but Kono kept going on about how I don't look well and you'd soon catch on and that you needed to know. I had to bite the bullet…I thought over and over how I was going to tell you, but when it came to it I just couldn't get the words out…"
Shaking his head he looked down to her. "Never be scared to tell me anything." He told her tapping her nose. "I love you and nothing will ever, ever change that." Gently tipping her head up to look at him he stole a kiss off her before he looked to her. "But Kono has a point…you don't look well…lets go see a doctor. Make sure my babies are okay." He whispered gently running his fingers up and down her back.
Listening to him Sam smiled a little before she then nodded and smiled as she kissed him one more time before she got to her feet. "Let's go…then I want us to go home so I can have a nice hot bubble bath…"
"And a decent night's sleep." Steve told her getting up and moved his arm around her. Keeping her close to him he headed back into the hospital with her, glancing around a little he seen a doctor he smiled to him as he gave a slight wave to him. "Excuse me doctor…"
"Yes sir?" Smiled the doctor looking to them before he frowned a little to Sam. "You alright miss? You don't look too good…"
"Actually that's one of the reasons why we're here…my girlfriend's pregnant, we were just wondering if you could check everything is okay with them both? She hasn't been feeling too good…"
The doctor smiled. "Congratulations. And of course we can check. Follow me we will go and find a room and run some tests and get an ultrasound done. Do you know how far along you are?" He asked as he looked to Sam.
Sam shook her head as she stayed close to Steve. "I only found out yesterday morning…"
"Follow me." Smiled the doctor as he headed down the corridor to try and find a spare examination room.
Steve smiled down to Sam before he kissed her head and followed the doctor down the corridor. As the doctor opened a door for them he headed inside and sat on the chair that was beside the bed as Sam sat on the edge of the bed.
"Okay Miss…"
"Williams. You can just call me Sam." Sam mumbled to him as she watched him.
"Okay Sam…what we will want to do first is to get a water sample and do some bloods…" He explained as he passed her a bottle for her water sample. "I'll send them straight off so we can get the results quicker and then I'll see if there is an ultrasound machine free and we will do a quick scan to see how baby is doing okay?"
Taking the bottle Sam nodded a little as she listened to him explain what he was going to do. "Which one first?"
"If you do your water sample first because when I take your blood you might feel a bit light headed and fuzzy afterwards so you can just stay on the bed. In a lot of cases we find that women in the first trimester of their pregnancy tend to get a low iron level which may be the reason you're looking pale and not feeling too good at the moment, feeling particularly tired is normally a sign too. It's easily treated mind so no need to panic okay? The bathroom is across the corridor okay?"
Nodding Sam climbed off the bed and headed over to the bathroom, returning a few minutes later she gave the doctor the bottle before climbing back onto the bed.
Getting everything he needed while Sam was away in the bathroom, the doctor took the sample before popping it down on the trolley before smiling to Sam. "Okay Sam if you just lay back for me and relax your arm for me okay?" He told her softly. When she laid back he gently took her arm before he popped her arm for a vein before smiling to her. "You'll feel a sharp scratch okay?" He told her before he popped the needle in before he grabbed some vials to fill.
"You feel okay?" Steve asked looking to Sam as he took her other hand.
Looking to Steve, Sam smiled a little and nodded. "Yeah, don't worry so much." She smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze before she looked as the doctor took the needle out and put a small bandage on the inside of her arm.
"Okay I'll send these off straight away okay and we should hear back in an hour or two." He smiled to them as he took off his gloves and popped them into the bin before picking up the samples. "Now you two are welcome to stay here and I'll go hunt down an ultrasound machine okay? I'll try not to be too long." He told them before he headed out of the room.
Nodding to the doctor Steve then looked to Sam and smiled as he kissed her hand. "Why don't you try and get some sleep?"
Sam frowned a little and shook her head. "I'm okay. I'll sleep after I've had my hotel bubble bath." She mused with a cheeky grin. "You know…you could always join me in my bubble bath?" She told him with a grin looking up to him.
Grinning to her Steve moved and sat on the bed with her before he leaned in and kissed her. "I like the sound of that." He mumbled against her lips with a grin to her. "Very much like that indeed."
Sam grinned against his lips as she moved one arm around his neck, running her fingers through his hair as she kept her lips to his, pulling his body closer to hers.
Smiling against her lips he ran his hand softly up her thigh before he smiled and pressed his forehead to hers and smiled. "I love you." He whispered to her.
"I love you too." Sam whispered back to him with a smile softly stroking his cheek with his thumb as she sighed happily. She felt a lot more relaxed now that Steve knew about the baby but she still felt a bit unwell in general. She couldn't wait to go home and get a few hours' sleep.
As the doctor came in wheeling a machine Steve moved and sat back on the chair and smiled to the doctor. "You found one then."
The doctor smiled. "Be amazed what you can find in the hospital when you know a person's hiding spots." He mused with a smile as he plugged in the machine and set it up ready. Looking to her the doctor smiled. "Ready?"
Sam nodded a little to him as she rested back on the bed and lifted her top up over her middle. It was hard to think that there was a baby growing inside there!
The doctor smiled as he grabbed the gel. "This is a little cold." He warned her as she squirted some on her stomach before he grabbed the probe and began to move it around her stomach while he looked to the screen closely as he moved it around more before he smiled and moved the screen for them to see. "And there's your baby…" He told them with a smile.
Moving to lean up on her elbows Sam looked to the screen and she couldn't help but smile. "Wow that's so clear…" She whispered before she then looked to Steve and grinned to him. "Our baby."
Steve moved to sit on the bed and looked to the screen and smiled before he then looked to Sam and grinned as he leaned in and kissed her once more before he looked to the screen and raised an eyebrow. "The baby looks…well big…how far along is she?"
Moving the screen back the doctor took some measurements before he smiled. "From the size of the baby I'd estimate you're around sixteen to eighteen weeks…but this isn't my field of expertise you'd have to see a midwife to get your exact due date but it's around that." He explained with a smile.
Sam looked to him shocked. "I'm that far along?" Now that wasn't something she was expecting. She thought she was only a few weeks! "How come I'm not showing?" She then asked confused. If she was that far along surly she should be showing by now?
"Some women don't until much later in their pregnancy. And you are a very petite woman so that might be the reason too but from what I can see your baby is perfectly healthy but you will need to book in with a midwife and have another scan so she can give you exactly how far along you are and when you are due." He told her with a smile. "I'll print some pictures off for you." He explained before he pressed some buttons on the monitor before he removed the probe from her stomach and passed her some tissue before passing the scan pictures that had printed off to Steve before unplugging the monitor. "I'm going to chase up your bloods and then you should be able to go home." He smiled and took the monitor out with him.
Wiping her stomach and then putting her top down, Sam then looked to Steve who seemed to be looking at the scan pictures in complete and utter awe. "Someone looks proud…" She whispered with a smile to him.
"I am." He whispered backas he looked to her and smiled before he kissed her head and pulled her to him and held her close to him. "You've made me the happiest and proudest dad to be in the world right now." He whispered to her kissing her head. He couldn't believe how much love he felt this unborn baby. Their baby.
