Chapter 13 We sat and watched the sun go down Picked a star before we lost the moon. ETERNITY - ROBBIE WILLIAMS

I was.well I was shocked. And speechless. Was this why Chris had split up with her only an hour before? "Oh my God.this is so.oh my God." I looked over at Sam, "Now what?" I asked. She shrugged, "I don't know. What do you want to happen?"

I had already made up my mind about this one. "I definitely want to be part of the baby's life," I said, "If you don't mind." "Why would I mind? I was so scared of being a single mom," she said. "Well, I'll be here," I promised, "Whenever you need me." We hugged and it was then I realised that I wanted things to be the way they used to be between us. Unlikely to happen, considering what I'd done. "What's wrong?" Sam asked, pulling away and looking at me. "It's just - oh nothing." "No, tell me, what is it?" "I wish things were different between us," I said, "Now more than ever." "Yeah, me too," she said quietly. I was surprised by this. I decided to tell her exactly how I felt about it. "I always thought that when I had kids, I would be in a relationship with someone I loved," I said, "Now I know the person I love, I'm just not with her." I looked up at her sadly. "I wish things were different too. The way they used to be."

I nodded. "We could have gave the kid a family," she said, "A proper one. I wish we could." Right then, there was nothing I wanted more than to be a family with Sam and the baby. *I hope it's a girl.* "Yeah, but I fucked things up didn't I?" I said. "We could work things out." She spoke tentatively, "If you wanted to." I didn't mean to sound as excited as I did, "Really? You mean it?" Ok, maybe I did. She nodded, "I mean, we'd have to take it slow at first, but I'm sure we'll get there in the end." I threw my arms around her and hugged her tight, not wanting to let her go. "You have no idea how happy you've just made me," I said. She pulled away smiling and kissed me, "I've made myself happy too," she said. I felt content right then, looking forward to mine and Sam's future as parents and my own as a father and a boyfriend.
