What Ever It Takes

Chapter 21

On way out of the hospital Sam bumped into Robyn and Jamie.

'Hey Sam! Fancy seeing you here!' Said Robyn.

'Yeah.. Hey' Replied Sam she really wasn't in the mood to talk to the hyperactive nurses.

'Why are you here? I thought you where still on leave?' Asked Jamie.

'I am. It's just Tom is sick and he is just getting checked over' replied Sam. She didn't really want to go into details because if she told any of these two it would be around the hospital in a matter of hours.

'Oh! Give him our best' said Robyn patting Sam on the back

'Robyn, we better get going as our break is almost over and you know what charile is like if we are late.' Said Jamie walking along the corridor a little.

'Yeah! It was nice to see you!' said Robyn before both of the nurses walked off.


When Sam had gone home, Had a shower and got some sleep she returned to the hospital. She found Tom propped up on pillows playing on his ipad.

'Your supposed to be resting' She said approaching his bed.

'Oh Hello! I am resting. I'm just playing on the ipad at the same time' replied Tom with a smirk on his face.

'This is why i love you' Said Sam leaning in for a kiss. Before she got there she heard someone clear their throat behind them. It was Tom's consultant.

'Sorry to interrupt but I have the results of your CT scan.' Said Mr Dawson. 'And im afraid its bad news. You have a stone that is the size of a five pence piece in one of your upper pyramids. Because the stone is so big your going to need surgery in the next few days. We have a spot tomorrow at 9:30am so i will just get you booked in.' He finished before walking off.

'Well that was pleasant news!' Said Tom before he noticed that Sam had tears in her eyes. 'hey.. What's wrong?'

'Its nothing' She said rubbing her eyes.

'Come here' Said Tom patting the bed and opening his arms.

'Just let my close these first' She said getting up and pulling the curtains around the bed and climbing into Tom's arms

'Now tell me what's' wrong' He asked stroking her hair.

'I'm just worried about the surgery that's all' She said allowing a tear to fall down her cheek.

'Sam.. Its nothing to be worried about. I'll be fine' He said resting his hand on her bump and feeling their baby kick.

'I know... But what if things aren't ok? What happens if you don't get to meet our baby?' She said crying some more.

'Shhh... Sam its going to be ok.' Said Tom even though he was worried about his surgery too.


A few hours past with Sam and Tom enjoying each others embrace and it was 9pm and Sam had already fallen asleep on Tom. He didn't think that that nursing staff or the other patients would appreciate having a middle aged pregnant woman sleeping on the ward.

'Sam babe wake up..' She said gently nudging her.

'Go away' She said rolling over.

'Look Sam you can't spend that night here' He said trying to make her sit up.

'Why? You are?' She said still with her eyes closed.

'This is a men's ward Sam!' Said Tom and with that Sam shot up.

'I'm going home. I'll see you in the morning' She said getting up and kissing him on the cheek.

'Bye' he said yawning.
