"Let me see, let me see!" Beamed Jade as Sam was wheeled into the hospital, Steve and Danny standing protectively next to Sam. Looking down to the sleeping baby on Sam's chest, Jade couldn't help but grin adoringly at the baby. "He is absolutely beautiful." She looked to Sam. "But you my girl have seen better days."
Sam couldn't help but laugh as she looked to her friend. "Wow. You have such a way with words don't you?"
Jade smiled. "I'm your best friend so I'm allowed to be that honest." She beamed before looking to her. "So here's the deal. Maternity are currently full so I'm going to take you into a cubicle, check you over…" She looked to Jamie. "Placenta?"
"Delivered on the way over." He confirmed.
"Fabulous." She smiled to Sam. "Alice will take the baby and do the baby checks while we get you sorted."
Sam looked to Jade for a minute before she then looked to Steve. "Stay with the baby."
Steve nodded. "Of course." He kissed her head before smiling and gently taking the baby from her. "We won't be long." He promised before looking to Danny. "Stay close by." He whispered to him.
Alice smiled to Steve and the baby before looking to Jade. "Looks like you owe me money. It's a boy." She beamed cheekily before looking to Steve. "Come on follow me. We won't be too long."
Sam laughed a little. "You two had a bet?"
"Yes and I'm very disappointed you weren't in my favour." Jade pouted looking to her friend before smiling to her friend. "Come on let's go get you sorted." She looked to Jamie. "Cubicle three please." She told him as she headed over to the empty cubicle.
"I'll be out here if you need me." Danny informed Sam. "Might go and get my hand checked." He teased to her.
Sam laughed a little. "Sorry Danny. It was either that or you deliver the baby…"
Danny thought for a minute. "Having my hand squeezed was fine."
Sam smiled a little to him before she then shuffled over onto the bed as Jamie left and watched as Jade shut the curtain and popped on some gloves.
"So. How was labour?" She asked with a chuckle.
"Painful." Laughed Sam. "Not fun when you don't have any drugs."
Jade laughed. "I bet." She smiled to her. "Let's see how much damage your kid done then." She mused tapping her knees for her to bend them. As Sam bent her knees up she moved down to have a look. "You'll need a few stitches but nothing major." She smiled to her before she grabbed a stool and a side trolley and plonked herself down. "Now I don't think I need to tell you that you need to tell that fiancé of yours that he must try and keep his hands off you for at least three weeks. Maybe a bit longer with this being your first baby you may bleed for a little bit longer." She mused as she began to stitch Sam up.
Sam laughed a little. "I'll relay the message."
Finishing stitching up Sam, Jade smiled to Sam. "You'll be able to shower in a few hours. Now providing that the baby checks are okay I see now reason as to why you can't go home."
Sam smiled and nodded. "Good. I need sleep."
Jade looked to her as she took her gloves off and popped them into the bin. "Sleep? Girl you know that is so not happening now you are a mother." She smiled and looked to her. "How does it feel to be a mother?" She asked to her.
Relaxing her legs down on the bed, Sam looked to her. "When that baby was placed on my chest….the love I felt for him…the feel is indescribable. I know that probably sounds stupid. I know I love Steve but the love I feel for that baby? It's something completely different."
Jade smiled to her friend. "It doesn't sound stupid. The say the love you have for your baby is something that is so overwhelming." Getting to her feet she smiled. "I have to go and see some more patients but I'll come back in a little while. I want you to stay here just for a few hours to be monitored."
Sam nodded. "As long as you bring me some decent food I'll be the perfect patient."
"Deal." Laughed Jade. "I'll be back soon." She promised before she left the cubicle, closing the curtain behind her so she could have some privacy.
Relaxing back on the bed a small yawn passed Sam's lips as she bought the cover over her slightly. As the curtain opened she couldn't help but smile as Steve came in with the baby who was now dressed in a little baby grow and wrapped in a blue blanket.
Coming into the cubicle Steve smiled over to Sam as he moved over to her. "We have one healthy boy." He informed with a smile as he perched himself on the bed next to her. "He passed all his checks and considering he was just over a week early he weighs a healthy seven pounds and 2 ounces."
Sam smiled listening to Steve and happily looked to their son as he gazed up to his father as Steve gently rocked him. "Bet you'd never imagined you'd be ever delivering a baby let alone your own."
Steve chuckled slightly. "I will admit that was probably the scariest thing I have every done."
"Really?" She looked to him. "What was scary about delivering your own baby?" She teased with a chuckle to him.
Steve smiled as he gently passed the baby to Sam. "Well think I was more scared of dropping him."
Gently taking the baby Sam smiled as she cradled him close to her and happily gazed down to him. He was so beautiful. Might have been biased but he was. "You'd never drop him." She tore her eyes from her son and looked to Steve. "I had every faith that you'd bring him into this world safely."
"I'm glad you did." Steve whispered as he smiled as he watched the two people who meant more to him than anything in this entire world.
Sam smiled to him before she then looked down to their son as he began to fuss a little. Gently stroking his face she smiled a little as he began to settle, a small tear rolling down her cheek.
Gently wiping her tear away as he saw it Steve frowned a little and looked to her. "What's wrong?" He whispered to her.
"I just wish my dad could have been here to see him." She whispered back to him. "He would have been so proud."
Hearing her he sighed a little as he looked to her. "He is proud of you Sam. He's looking down on you right now and he is as proud as proud can be."
Sam just nodded a little as she kept her eyes locked on the baby in her arms.
Moving his hand to her leg he smiled as he gave her leg a gentle squeeze. "We still have to name him…why don't we name him in memory of your dad?"
Sam looked to him. "You want to call him Richard?"
Steve looked to her. "Well how about Noah Richard McGarrett? Noah was the only name we could both agree we liked?"
Sam looked down to the baby. "Noah…" She whispered before smiling to herself. "He looks like a Noah."
"Noah it is then." Steve whispered with a smile before he lent in and kissed her cheek. "You've given me the greatest present imaginable."
Sam smiled as she turned her head and captured his lips and smiled as she kissed him before resting her forehead to his. "All thanks to you." She smiled to him once more before she then looked up hearing someone coughing to get their attention. Seeing Danny she smiled a little. "Hey Danny. You can come in."
Danny smiled a little. "Thanks…how you feeling?"
"Like I'm ready to go home." She admitted with a smile to him.
Danny smiled to her as he headed over to her and smiled down to the baby. "He's adorable."
"Would Uncle Danny like a hold?" Sam asked with a smile to him.
"Hell yes." He beamed with a grin as he gently took the baby off her and cradled him close. Looking to Steve he smiled. "Who would ever have thought you'd be a father?" He smiled down to him before looking to the pair of them. "Have their said when you're allowed home?" He asked before looking down to the baby. "Does the little guy have a name yet?"
"Jade said by the end of the evening. She just wants to keep an eye on be to make sure everything's okay. Probably to make sure I haven't got an infection. Didn't exactly give birth in the most hygienic of places." She smiled. "He does. "Meet Noah."
"Noah." Danny smiled before he nodded a little before looking up as Jade came in with some food for Sam.
"I knew there was a reason you're my best friend." Sam beamed taking the food off her.
"I'm awesome I know but you should know…" She paused and looked to her. "Your mother is on her way in. She hasn't stopped ringing the hospital every hour since you were taken."
"That would explain the fifteen missed calls she left me then." Steve commented with a slight chuckle.
Sam rolled her eyes a little before she opened her sandwich. "Oh god. She's going to be in major granny mode." She mumbled taking a bite out of her sandwich as she looked to Jade. "You can kick her out right if she gets on my nerves?"
Jade looked to her friend and laughed a little. "She's not going to be that bad. Enjoy people making a fuss of you." She told her with a smile. "Give it another hour and you can go home." She told her with a smile. "Let everyone make a fuss of you in your own home so they can run around for you." She beamed as she then left them to it.
Sam watched her go before she then looked to Danny who was quite content with the baby. "Not getting broody there are you Danno?" She mused with a smirked to him.
Looking to Sam Danny couldn't help but laugh a little. "Don't tell Melissa."
"Oh come on Danny. You guys having a baby wouldn't be so bad." Sam commented looking to him. "Should at least think about it." She shrugged a little to him before she let a small yawn pass her lips as she rested her head back on the pillow.
Steve smiled down to Sam before he then looked up as Joyce popped her head in.
"There they are." She beamed with a grin as she stepped inside and over to Danny and looked down to the baby. "Oh sweetheart he's so adorable." She looked to her daughter. "We are so glad that you're alright…"
Sam lifted her head up. "We?" She looked to her mother, her jaw clenching. "Do not tell me you bought him with you."
Joyce looked to her. "He dropped me off and he's gone back home. He's respecting your wishes Sam but he was genuinely worried about you when he found out you were kidnapped. By that monster of all people. Like it or not Samantha he's still your brother." She told her before looked down to her grandson once more and gently stroked his cheek.
Sam practically glared at her mother. Was she was seriously trying to give her a lecture right now? Looking to Steve she took a breath. "I think I need to go home now." She whispered to him. She didn't want to end up losing her temper. And with her mother there no doubt she would be.
Steve nodded as he looked to Sam and kissed her head. "I'll clear it with Jade and get some clothes for you." He whispered to her before he got to his feet and left the cubicle.
Watching Steve go, Sam then looked to Danny and the baby as the baby started to fuss again. "I think he's hungry…"
Danny nodded a little as he moved the baby back to his mother. "We'll give you some privacy." He told her with a smile. He didn't see any bottles around so he guessed that Sam would breast feed. Looking to Joyce he smiled. "Let's grab a coffee while Sam feeds him."
Joyce smiled and nodded. "We'll be back soon." She told her as she left the cubicle with Danny.
"Not too soon I hope." She grumbled to herself before looking down to her son. "I don't know buddy." She shook her head before she lifted her top up slightly and began to feed her baby. It was a strange feeling but she wouldn't change it for the world. He was all that mattered to her right now. Him and Steve. They were her world now and no matter what her mother said she wasn't going to let her mother say any different. Steve and Noah were her ohana now.
