He woke up, sweating like crazy and looked at Jules sleeping peacefully beside him. "Jules," he whispered.
She stirred in her sleep and opened her eyes slowly, looking at Sam beside her. He was awake and staring at her. She wished he would remember her. She had never felt so alone in her life. He was sitting beside her but he didn't know who she was.
"Jules," he whispered again and he leaned over to kiss her lovingly.
He kissed her and she kissed him back, knotting her hands in his hair.
"Sam?" she smiled as they broke apart.
"Yeah?" he said.
"Please tell me that I'm not dreaming," she whispered. "Do you remember?"
"I don't know how I could have forgotten," he said. "I love you Jules."
Her mind soared with excitement as she leaned over to kiss him again. He was back! Sam was back. He remembered her.
"You remember everything?" she double checked when they broke apart again.
"Every single thing," he told her. "Are you okay?"
She was crying. She'd done a lot of crying in the past week and a half but this was the first time she was happy to be crying. This was the first time she was crying because she was happy.
"Never been better," she said, wiping away her tears. "Sam, I missed you so much!"
"I never left," he said.
"In a way you did though," she said. "I was so sure we were going to lose you and then you woke up but you couldn't remember anything. Oh, Sam...you don't know how hard it was."
"I am so sorry," he whispered in her ear. "I'll never leave you again."
"I know," she nodded though she was still crying tears of happiness. "I know."
Together, they spent the rest of the night awake, laughing and crying, though always of happiness. It was nice, Jules thought, to be back to normal. The past week had been hell for her and she was sure it had been no better for Sam.
They didn't sleep but, when morning finally came, neither of them was tired. They were both filled with the temporary euphoria they were both feeling, making them feel like they'd never been less tired.
"Well, I really have to go to work today," Jules told him. "I've been off for the past week but I told Sarge I'd come back today. You okay looking after Hailey?"
"Of course," he answered. "But can I drive you there? I'd love to see everyone."
Jules laughed and nodded, "I'm sure they'd love to see you as well."
Nobody except for Jules knew that Sam had his memory back. As far as the rest were concerned, he had gone home but was still unsure of who he was and who everyone else was.
They ate breakfast as a family again. Hailey, though she had never known what was wrong, could tell that everything was okay again. She spent the morning laughing and saying 'dada' over and over again.
"She said dada so much while you were unconscious," Jules told him.
"I know," Sam said without even thinking about what he was saying.
"What?" she asked. "How do you know?"
He stopped and thought for a moment, "I don't know. How do I know?"
"Well," she shrugged. "When you were out, I told you that she was saying dada. But I didn't think you heard since you woke up and didn't know who we were..."
"It must have sunk in somewhere," he shrugged, kissing Jules again. "I love you."
"You've said that more in the past few hours than I think you've said it in the past month," she chuckled. "Not that I'm complaining."
"Of course you aren't," he teased. "I just want to make sure that you know how much I love you."
"Believe me Sam," she said. "I know. You wouldn't have remembered if you didn't love me."
"It's a good thing I do then, isn't it?" he said.
She nodded, "A great thing."
They packed Hailey's bag and Jules called her daycare to tell them that Hailey would not be going that day. They loaded Hailey and the bag into the car and got into the front seats. Sam drove to the station, remembering exactly where it was.
"I'm glad you remembered," Jules said again. "Really glad."
"Me too," Sam said. "Let's go in."
They went into the station and were surprised when nobody came up to them. Jules was a little concerned that something had happened so she leaned over to Winnie and asked, "Where are they?"
"Sarge instructed them to leave you alone today," she told her. "He thought you'd still be a bit shaken up."
"Could you call them all here maybe?" she asked. "I need to tell them something."
Sam stood behind her, not saying anything. He didn't tell Winnie that he remembered but he didn't tell her that he didn't. Neither did Jules.
"Team One," Winnie called into the system that ran throughout the station, eyeing Jules unsure of what was happening. "Report to the front desk," she said into her microphone.
The team arrived, confused about what was happening. They never got called to the front desk. The only time they heard their team called on the PA system was when there was a hot call for them.
"What's going on?" Greg asked once they were all there.
"Hey everyone," Jules waved. "Sam's here."
"Hi Sam," Spike said slowly, being the first to speak. "It's Spike, in case you forgot." He knew he had told Sam his name at the hospital but he wasn't sure if Sam would remember that.
"Hey," he said.
"So, Jules," Ed said. "What's up?"
"Sam remembered," she shrugged as if it was no bi deal but a smile split on her face quickly, ruining the nonchalent act she'd been planning. She continued speaking, still smiling widely like she had all morning, "He remembered!"
"He did?" Spike asked, eyeing Sam.
"Really?" both Ed and Greg asked together.
"He did?" Raf repeated.
"He did," Sam answered to a whoop of delight from everyone on the team.
"That's fantastic Sam!" Greg patted his back.
"Brilliant!" Raf said. "When are you coming back?"
"I don't know," Sam said, looking at Greg and Ed. "When am I coming back?"
"As soon as the doctors tell you that you can," Ed answered.
"Awesome," Spike said. "This is great! Samtastic is back!"
The team laughed lightly, all overjoyed with what had been said and what Spike had joked.
"It is," smiled Jules. "So, he just wanted to come and say hi to everyone. I guess you should go home now Sam, huh?"
"I guess so," he agreed. "See you around!"
He turned to walk out of the building again, still holding Hailey. The team was all talking excitedly with each other, happy about the news they'd just been told. Jules, on the other hand, ran after Sam.
"Wait a second?" she said, reaching him just before he got into the elevator that would take him to the front entrance.
"What's up? You okay?" he asked her.
She nodded, "More than okay. I just wanted to say that I love you."
"I know," he kissed her lips, making Hailey giggle. "I love you too."
"And I'm glad you remembered," she said, smiling at her daughter.
"I'd never forget," Sam said. "Not again, anyway."
"Okay," Jules said. "Have a good day!"
"You too," he said as he got into the elevator and Jules walked back to the team. "See you tonight!"
"Tonight," she nodded and she waved goodbye to her daughter and her husband.
