AN - Sorry for the late update I didn't know that when I left the house at 9am today I would be out all day Geocaching! I'm going to be out all day again tomorrow for a planned family day out so unsure on whether I will update but please enjoy this one

(Tom's POV)

The nurse came back in and checked out Sam's vitals but they were still a little low. Lunch time was quickly approaching and it was starting to look less likely they she will be taken off the ventilator.

"Guys, don't worry she will be off of it" Lauren said picking up Amelia.

"I know Lauren but I can't help but worry. I need her back" I said.

"Tom, she hasn't left she is still here with us" Nick said.

"I need to be back at the nursery for 12 so I'm going to have to leave soon but I will come back around 3, do you need anything I can bring in some stuff." Lauren asked.

"Amelia needs a change of clothes, she has some at the nursery if you don't mind bringing then back with you? If anything changes I will ring you"

"I'll bring back her bag with me Nick you don't need anything? And feel free to phone me whenever you like." Lauren said.

"No thank you Lauren I have everything I need" Nick replied.

"Can Lauren go to your house Papa and get Coco I think Sam would like him" Amelia asked.

"Sure she can I think Sam would like that too" Nick said passing Lauren his keys.

"Sure thing Amelia" Lauren said walking over to Sam and taking her hand. "I need to go back to work now but I will always be thinking about you Sam, I need you to wake up so you can be a part of the babies life. I need you to fight this and overcome it you have been through so much but you always overcome it, look at you now you can walk around without long sleeves on, you now make sure you never miss a meal. You have overcome so much and you can overcome this, I love you Sam you are my best friend." Lauren said giving Sam a kiss

"I need to go now but I'll be back later with Coco" Lauren said giving Amelia a hug.

It was half twelve and the nurse had come in to offer us lunch and something to drink she told us what was on offer and then let us chose.

"Can I have a cheese and tomato sandwich with some orange juice please" I asked.

"Can I get an omelette but could I have it with cheese instead of mushrooms as Sam is allergic and it doesn't make sense to bring them in here" Nick asks

"Of cause it's alright I understand what you are saying and I agree completely. What would you like to drink" The nurse says.

"Could I get a glass of ice cold water please? By the way I have just noticed we haven't asked your name yet you have been with Sam all morning" Nick says.

"I'm Staff Nurse wood but please feel free to call me James." he says with a smile then looks to Amelia "What would you like for lunch"

"Can I have a ham sandwich and some apple juice please" Amelia asks.

"Of cause you can, I will be back soon with you lunch. If there is anything else we can do for you just ask" James told us and went off.

We had eaten our lunch and played a couple of games of snakes and ladders but Amelia didn't really understand the rules much so there was some cheating going on it was coming up to 2 o'clock and James was due back soon any minute, hopefully Sam has managed to stay at the stable condition she has been at for the last few hours as this may mean they will take her of the ventilator.

"I hope you three enjoyed your lunches, if you would like anything else to eat or drink just let us know I'm going to check over Sam now" James said.

"Thank you" Nick said taking a seat. After 10 minutes or so James was starting to write Sam's notes down so I decided to ask if there were any improvements.

"Any chance of her coming of the ventilator?" I ask him.

"Sam's vitals have improved a lot so I will take her notes and go have a meeting with the other doctors to access the situation but it's looking promising" James said with a smile and walking off.

"Thank you so much" I called after him and then phoned Lauren to tell her the good news just as I was hanging up there was a knock at the door.

"Tom, can we come in?" Dixie asked.

"Sure, I was hoping to talk to you guys." I said gesturing them to enter. "Dixie, Jeff I am so sorry about what happened and I just want to let you know that I don't blame you for it and if you every need to talk to anyone I will be here for you two it was a terrible thing that happened but now we have to move on and stay strong for Sam she needs us."

"Oh Tom, thank you so much I felt so guilty, we would have come up earlier but I was worried you would blame us for what happened and I didn't know if I could take that" Dixie said crying.

"Dix, I would never blame you it was not your fault" I said again. Nick was just sat on the other chair playing with Amelia.

"Hey princess how you feeling" Jeff asked Amelia.

"I'm okay but it still hurts when I touch it and I miss mummy" Amelia said giving Jeff a hug.

"Well princess I think its best you don't touch it then" Jeff said ruffling her hair and placing her down "And we all miss her" Jeff said.

Jeff was sat playing with Amelia and Uno. Me, Dixie and Nick where having a chat and we just lost track of time and somehow it was already 3:30 and Lauren was walking in.

"Hey guys Look who I've got" Lauren said walking in.

"Coco" Amelia shouted and jumped up, running over to get it.

"Hey give me a hug first then you can have him" Lauren said picking up Amelia. She then placed her down and gave her Coco where she went back over to Jeff and started to play again.

"So Tom what's happening?" Lauren asked walking over to me, Dixie and Nick.

"She had improved a lot and they are currently having a meeting to access the situation" I explained.

"That's great but I hope you lot don't have to wait much longer, By the way I'm Lauren, Sam's Best friend and Amelia's Teacher" Lauren said directed it at Dixie and Jeff.

"I'm Dixie and that's Jeff over there playing with Amelia, we are paramedics here. Nice to meet you" Dixie said and got up to hug Lauren.

"Oh here are your keys Nick" Lauren said walking over and sitting on him.

"Thanks, you can say there but not for long" Nick said.

We sat chatting again for another hour or so before some doctors walked in with some nurse's including James they then check over Sam and went back to their assessment before coming back in.

"We have come to our decision and Miss Nicholls will…."
