Sam was sitting quietly on her sofa thinking about what she was going to say to Adam or even her friends when she was proven to be correct and Adam was indeed the father of her baby. She hadn't told anyone about her situation and didn't want anyone else to know until she had talked to Adam, but she couldn't talk to Adam about anything until she had proof.
She had found that whenever she wasn't at work keeping her mind occupied was extremely difficult as her mind kept drifting to the reality that she was pregnant. She had near enough cried herself to sleep every night since finding out. She'd talked with Janet about the situation but could tell that she still didn't believe her and wouldn't until she had the proof one way or another.
She knew Adam would be calling round soon but not knowing what to say without lying she didn't know what to do.
Her eyes were red and puffy from all the crying she'd been doing for the past hour or so. She could feel her eyes weighing down but she was determined not to spend another night on the sofa, as her back would disagree with her like it had been doing the past few nights.
She slowly got to her feet and headed to the bedroom turning off all the lights as she went, not bothering to get changed she climbed on to the bed and closed her eyes waiting for sleep to overtake her which it quickly did.
It was about an hour later when Adam knocked on Sam's door, but there was no answer. Slightly worried, as he'd arranged for Sam to meet him here once he got everything settled at his cottage he took out the spare key that she'd given him before he'd gone to Paris and quickly opened the door and moved into the dark house.
"Sam… are you here?"
His voice echoed around the silent house but there was no reply. He moved to the front room and saw that she hadn't fallen asleep on the sofa waiting for him, he moved further into the house feeling the worry start to rise within him. He reached the bedroom and saw her lying there on top of the covers, a distressed look on her face.
Adam moved over to the bed and sat on the end, he brushed her face gently and she stirred but didn't wake up, if anything she seemed to look more distressed with his presence.
Pulling a blanket over her Adam went to go get a chair so he could sit and watch over her for the night. He returned moments later with a chair from the dinning room and he placed it by the window where the moon was shining sliver in the clear night sky.
What he couldn't work out though was that he was getting a feeling from Sam, one that he hadn't before and it was puzzling and worrying him at the same time.
Sam's eyes opened at dawn when the light from the window hit her closed eyes. Still blurry from sleep she blinked a few times, when she finally focused her eyes she saw the sleeping form of Adam slumped in the chair.
She sat up wondering when she had gotten a blanket as all she could remember doing was falling on the bed and closing her eyes, she didn't remember pulling a blanket over herself. She untangled herself from the blanket and threw her legs over the side of the bed so that she was now sitting up.
Adam sensed Sam's movement and forced himself awake. His eyes met hers and it was clear that there was defiantly worry in her sea blue eyes making them mistier than usual.
"Sam… is everything ok?" Adam asked as he came to sit next to her on the bed.
"Yeah… everything's fine"
"Are you sure because you look… distracted"
"No… no… I'm fine… I've just got something on my mind that's all."
"Ok… but you know you can talk to me about anything that's troubling you."
"I know… and I will talk to you, just not at the moment…"
"Ok I'll be here when you're ready to talk."
"Thanks… oh by the way Janet wants you to drop by the academy hospital… she said something about some test or something."
Adam noticed that there seemed to be something more than she was saying. He knew that if she was that upset he didn't have to be Janet's little lab rat for the afternoon, he could stay with Sam and hopefully comfort her any way he could.
"Is that's what worrying you… if it is I won't go… I'll stay with you and keep you company as it looks like you need it."
"Well you'll just have to keep me company at the academy hospital then as I've got to go there myself." Sam smiled, albeit a small forced smile but it was the first one that had graced her face for the past few days.
"Ok then I'll keep you company there then and be Janets lab rat for the afternoon." Adam grimaced at the thought of being poked and prodded by Janet for the afternoon.
"Ok… good… we have to be there for 1300 hours so I'll go have a shower and get changed then we can go do something for the morning before meeting up with Janet."
"Yeah sounds like a plan… I'll go make you a coffee, then I think I'll borrow your shower to freshen up a bit as well before we head out." Adam felt a bit better now that Sam seemed to be feeling more herself or at least acting it.
Sam and Adam arrived at the academy hospital at 1255 and Sam led the way to Janet's office, knowing her way from other visits to the hospital she'd made. Once she reached the office Sam knocked and waited for Janet to say enter, which she quickly did.
Looking up from the work she'd been doing Janet noticed Sam and Adam in the doorway, she smiled in greeting, "Sam… I'll see you first then I'll see Adam… could you just wait outside Adam?"
"Yeah sure" he turned to Sam only to see that the worried look had returned to her face, "Sam… you sure you're going to be alright?"
Sam turned trying to smile reassuringly, "Yeah… I'll be fine I'll just be a minute then you'll get your turn at being Janet's lab rat."
"Can't wait" Adams voice clearly showed his sarcasm then he smiled once again then turned and left the office closing the door after himself.
Once Sam turned back to face Janet she noticed the scowl that had taken over her face. "Lab Rat?"
"Adam's words not mine… so what happens now."
"Now… now you become a 'Lab Rat'" Janet smiled evilly but Sam couldn't help but laugh, glad that Janet was trying to relax the tension in the room.
About ten minutes later Sam reappeared from Janet's office not looking too good, Adam was straight to her side, "Sam are you ok?"
"Yeah… I'm fine… Janet said it's your turn now… I'll be out here when you've finished."
"Ok… I hope I'm not too long" Sam walked off to sit on a chair while Adam headed to Janet's office.
"Adam… take a seat on the bed over there I'll be with you in a second" Janet had her back to him, he noticed that she looked to be labelling some samples which must have been taken from Sam.
He did as she asked and took a seat on the bed at the side of the room. "What's all this about Janet… you've never asked me to be a lab rat before."
"Yeah well you're the only immortal around at the moment to ask so sit down and let me just take some samples, nothing's going to hurt… much" Janet couldn't help the small smile when Adam just rolled his eyes.
Making her way over to him needle in hand she quickly set about taking a blood sample.
Adam was quiet for a few seconds then thought of something that had worried him about Sam and he needed to understand what was happening. "Janet… can I ask you something?"
Janet looked confused at Adam when she heard the concern in his voice, "Sure… what's on your mind?"
"Sam… when I got home last night she was asleep but she looked… well she looked troubled… even in sleep… Then this morning she looked even more worried when she woke up but she seemed to be ok when we were out earlier… Then when we came here she had the same look of worry on her face that she had this morning… has this got something to do with these visions… she told me the last person who had visions almost died… I… I need to know if she's going to be alright?"
Janet was completely taken aback, she'd never heard so much concern coming from this persons mouth, could it be that Sam had been right all along. Had Adam changed from being death to being this caring person sat in front of her now?
"Sam's fine… I'm just doing some tests to confirm something for her… I'm guessing that that's what she's got on her mind… It's nothing to worry about" Janet tried to reassure him.
"There's something else"
Janet was now puzzled, "What?"
"I can feel her… I first noticed it last night… I've never noticed it before if it was even there but there it is now."
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Janet… I'm saying I can feel a buzz when I'm around her, it's almost like background noise… it's nowhere near like another immortal and not even strange enough for a pre immortal but it's there…"
"I… but…" Janet concentrated for a moment trying to feel what Adam was talking about, "I… I can't fe… oh god."
"You felt it didn't you?" Adam noticed the look of complete shook on Janet's face.
"Yeah… oh god it can't be…"
Adam was completely confused by Janet's comment, "Janet… what do you mean it can't be?… do you know what's going on?"
"Adam… I didn't believe her… I thought she was lying… we can and we all thought she couldn't but then this happens and I just… It's just not possible."
"Janet will you please just calm down and tell me what's going on… I need to know what's going on."
"Ok… I think it's about time you found out too… but I need to get Sam."
Janet walked to the door to her office and soon entered the office with Sam on her heals a look of complete confusion on her face.
