Chapter 3 – Uh Oh!

That evening Sam and Luka called Alex out to the living room to tell him the news.

"What is it?" Alex asked.

"Well, we have something that we want to tell you, Alex." Luka said.

"What?" He asked growing more impatient.

"Well, Luka and I are going to get married." Sam said.

"Oh cool! Does that mean Luka will be my dad?"

"Only if you want him to be, all he has to do is sign some papers to adopt you."

"So, Alex would you like to be my son?" Luka asked hope lingering in his voice.

"Definitely, you would be the coolest dad ever!" Alex said and he ran over and gave Luka a hug.

"Wow, we'll be one big happy family." Luka said and laughed.

"So, what does everyone want for dinner?" Luka asked.

"Pizza!" Alex yelled.

"How about spaghetti?" Luka asked again.

"Good enough." Alex said.

"It doesn't matter to me, I'll eat anything, I'm hungry!" Sam said.

"Sam, since we both have off tomorrow, I was thinking I could take you shopping tomorrow, maybe get some new clothes, you know." Luka said after dinner, he winked at Sam.

"Sounds good." Sam said. "I haven't been shopping in the longest time."

"Hey, what am I going to do?" Alex whined.

"Well, I arranged for you to go over to mikey's tomorrow and spend the night, if that's alright with you." Luka said.

"That's more that alright, thanks Luka... or should I call you Dad now? Alex asked.

"It doesn't matter to me, whatever you feel more comfortable calling me." Luka replied.

"Well then I guess I'll just call you whatever comes to me." Alex said and laughed.

"Okay."

............................................................................................................

Sam and Luka got up early the next morning to go shopping. They dropped Alex off at Mikey's and headed towards Cook County Mall. They spent the morning catching the good sales and getting maternity clothes she might need later on and picking up cute baby things they happened to see even if it was too early.

"Oh my god!" Sam said and put her hand on her stomach as they were heading over to eat lunch.

"What is it Sam, are you alright!?" Luka asked concerned.

"No, I don't think so, it hurts Luka." Sam moaned and leaned into him.

"Oh god, honey, I have to get you to the hospital!" Luka picked her up and hurried as fast as he could out of the mall and to his car. He put her in the passenger side and tried to get to County as fast as he could.

"Hang in there Sam, we're almost there. Where does it hurt?" He asked almost in a frenzy.

"Right here." Sam moaned and pointed to her lower abdomen. "It's like really bad cramps." She moaned again.

'Oh god.' He thought. He feared the worst.

He got to County and got Sam out of the car as fast as he could.

"Hey, I need a gurney over hear!" Luka yelled.

Carter ran over with a gurney.

"Hey Luka, I thought you were off today." Carter said.

"I am, there's something wrong with Sam, she's about six weeks pregnant and she's complaining of really bad cramps in her lower abdomen." Luka answered frantically.

"I didn't even know she was pregnant!" Carter exclaimed. "We need to get her up to obgyn now!" They got her up to obgyn and Coburn took over from there. She did and ultra-sound and a pelvic exam and determined that she didn't miscarriage but she was close. Luka was crying by this point, he stayed by her side the whole time.

"Oh god Sam," he said while she was sleeping. "I thought I almost lost you or the baby, I'm so glad you're okay." Just then Sam woke up.

"What happened?" Sam asked.

"Well, we were at the mall and you started getting cramps, I brought you here as quick as I could, and you almost had a miscarriage, but you were lucky, I guess God wanted this baby to live.

"Oh my gosh," Sam said to herself, she saw the tear stains on Luka's face and she started crying too. Luka bent down and hugged her, they didn't let go of each other for a long time. Coburn came back in to see how everything was doing.

"Sam, that was a close one there, so I want you to get plenty of rest, try to avoid as much stress as possible, no walking for long periods of time, and no heavy lifting, okay?" Coburn asked.

"Okay, what ever I can do for my baby." Sam answered.

Sam and Luka went home that night and lay on the couch, they were very thankful that their baby was given a second chance at life. Luka put his hand on Sam's Stomach and said "this is out miracle baby."
