A/N: Just a little mushy filler chapter. I don't really do romance, so hope you like it anyways. Enjoy! R&R!
Martin drove her back to their apartment, avoiding questions from the others not wanting to tell them until they were both ready. They had told just told them that Samantha was overtired, and that caused her to faint. Which Vivian didn't seem to believe, as she gave them a suspicious look.
"What happened with Tim Scott and Chris Fields?" she said once they were both inside.
Martin sighed. "We managed to get Tim to confess, saying we had strong evidence against him. He said he drove after Chris and ran him off the road. NYPD found the car with Chris in it."
"So we didn't save him?" asked Samantha.
Martin shook his head. Samantha sighed sadly. Martin gave her a comforting hug.
"We can't save them all." he said.
Samantha sighed. "I know. I wish we could though."
"Same here." replied Martin. "You go have a nap ok? I'll make us something to eat."
Samantha smiled. "Thanks Martin." "No problem, you have to keep your strength up. What with the baby and all." Samantha yawned, and made her way into their room. Their room, it sounded strange, in a good way. She smiled and climbed into their bed, as soon as she lay down exhaustion hit her and she let sleep overcome her.
The next day
"So we going to tell them today?" Martin asked Samantha as they walked into the FBI building.
Samantha glanced at Martin nervously, "I guess we should. Bit nervous though. Hey maybe we should wait a bit, I mean I'm only two weeks along which is really early." she admitted.
Martin smiled comfortingly, "They'll want to know Samantha. Don't worry it'll be fine."
Samantha smiled back. "I know" she replied.
"Morning guys." Samantha called as she and Martin entered the office. Danny waved, his mouth full of some pastry goodness and Jack gave them both a smile.
"Hey Sam, you feeling better?" asked Vivian.
Samantha nodded. "I'm fine. Umm there's something that I, we need to tell you." she said to everyone. They all looked at her expectantly. Samantha took a deep breath. Martin squeezed her hand, giving her moral support.
"Uhh Martin and I, we're having a baby." The others looked surprised for a few moments, until Danny broke the silence.
"That's great guys! Congratulations." he said giving Samantha a hug and patting Martin on the back. Vivian smiled at them both. "I'm so happy for you guys. How far are you along?"
"Only two weeks." said Samantha. "We were going to wait...Ok I wanted to wait but Martin thought you guys would want to know."
"Damn straight." said Danny.
Jack smiled too and added his congratulations. "You'll have to be careful." he added to Samantha. "You know, stay off field duty when you're further along."
Samantha smiled, "Yeah I had this conversation with Martin. Thanks you guys, your support means a lot." They smiled back at her.
"We'll always be there." said Vivian and Danny nodded.
"Well back to work." said Jack after a moments pause. Danny and Vivian went back to their desks, finishing the reports for yesterdays case.
"I told you it would be fine." said Martin to Samantha grinning. "Yeah yeah." she said also grinning, shoving him playfully.
"So, you guys free for a drink tonight, non alcoholic for you and me Sam?" asked Danny at the end of the day.
"Sure." said Samantha.
"Cool, Martin?" Danny asked.
"Count me in." was the reply.
"Anyone else?" asked Danny looking over to Jack and Vivian. They both shook their heads.
"Sorry got to get home to the family." replied Vivian. "Night guys, see you in the morning."
"Night Viv." replied Samantha.
"Yeah I've got to go to, Hanna's in one of the school plays." said Jack.
"Ok, see you tomorrow." said Danny. "Say good luck to Hanna from us."
"Will do." Jack smiled and left the office with Vivian.
"Well I guess it's just us three." said Danny. "You mean you don't have a date to bring? How is that possible?" asked Martin in mock shock. Samantha laughed.
"Haha." said Danny. "Anyway. You ready to go?"
"Yeah, I'll just grab my coat." said Samantha.
"I'm all ready." said Martin.
"Any thoughts about names for the baby?" asked Danny in all seriousness once he, Martin and Sam were seated with their drinks.
"God Danny, We only found out yesterday." Protested Samantha laughing.
Martin raised an eyebrow. "You thought of any Danny?" he asked slyly.
Danny smirked. "Now that you mention it, Danny is a great name. But seriously Matthew for a boy. Or Natasha for a girl."
"Any reason for those names?" asked Samantha.
Danny sighed. "Not really, they just, I don't know they seem to fit."
Samantha smiled. "Thanks Danny, we'll have to remember them."
The conversation continued for a while, moving on to their wedding and other casual topics. Samantha smiled, she was glad that they all got on so well. They didn't really have many friends outside their team, so it was nice to be able to just talk like this. Her and Danny had been close friends for several years now, and Danny got on better with Martin than he had.
Later Martin glanced at his watch, yawning. "I'm beat guys."
Danny also glanced at his watch. "God yeah. We should call it a night."
"You want a lift Danny?" asked Martin.
"Sure." replied Danny.
"Night." said Danny getting out of the car.
"See you tomorrow, bright and early." said Martin.
"Night." said Samantha.
Martin started the car and drove off. He glanced at Samantha who was staring out the window in a dream. "You okay?" he asked.
She smiled sadly. "Yeah I'm just thinking."
"About what?" he asked curiously.
"Stuff. You know, how different it would be if Lisa had survived the crash."
"Come on Samantha. Don't think about those things." Martin sighed. He knew Samantha would never fully get over what had happened, but dwelling on the past wasn't going to help.
"I know I shouldn't, but it's hard. Don't get me wrong it's easier than it was."
Martin looked at her. "It is getting better right? You haven't had a dream in a while."
Samantha shuddered remembering the dreams. It was true she hadn't had one in a few weeks now, and that hadn't been as horrific as before.
"Yeah it is better. But I feel like I've changed. Like I felt after I got shot."
"You couldn't expect to go through something like that and not change. Anyway we're here." he said pulling up outside their apartment.
Once they were inside the apartment, Martin grabbed Samantha in a hug, and leant down to give her a passionate kiss. Once they stopped, she pulled back, flushing slightly.
"What was that for?" she asked smiling.
"Just because." replied Martin.
"In that case." she said and reached up to kiss him.
"You want to go to bed yet?" asked Martin.
"Can we just sit for a bit?" asked Samantha leading him over to the couch. They sat cuddled up together, enjoying the others company, perfectly content.
"I don't know what I'd do without you." Samantha whispered suddenly. Martin smiled, although his eyes were sad, for what Sam still must be feeling. He pulled her closer.
"I'm not going anywhere." he whispered back.
