AN: Enjoy ppl!

Back at the office (Sam had insisted in coming in, and not going home to rest.)

"What happened?" asked Vivian once they were all sitting at the conference table.

"The truck pulled up next to me...and uhh he had a gun and told me to get in so I did. I think he hit me cuz the next thing I remember was waking up still in the car by some little alleyway. He dragged me out...and he just kept hitting me and then I remember waking up in hospital."

Danny winced in sympathy. "Was it just him?"

Samantha nodded, "I think so."

Jack had looked solemn while Sam was talking, and he re-read the note that had been in Samantha's pocket. Suddenly a thought came to him, why was Martin looking for Sam at a hotel? He had been so preoccupied with worrying about Sam, that it hadn't registered until now.

"Why were you at a hotel Sam?" asked Jack.

Sam sighed, and glanced over at Martin for a split second, a look that wasn't overlooked by Jack. "I'm just staying there for a while." Jack nodded and decided not to press the subject, seeing the uncomfortable looks that passed between them.

"Well you shouldn't be staying alone." said Vivian, also thinking about the note.

"I'll be fine, it's a hotel. There's plenty of people there." Sam insisted.

Vivian sighed and shrugged. "I guess."

Samantha smiled, wincing briefly when one of the bruises made itself known again. She glanced round at the others, noting all their concerned looks. She sighed, she didn't want them all worrying about her so much. "Look I'm going to go back to the hotel and get some rest." She hesitantly got to her feet. "I'll see you later."

"Bye." replied Jack and Martin.

Danny smiled, his traditional Danny grin. "Take care. I'll call later."

Samantha smiled back.

"I can give you a lift." said Vivian, remembering that Sam hadn't had her car with her.

"Thanks." said Sam.

Vivian and Sam stopped by the elevators, Sam pushing the button to go down to the parking lot.

"Are you going to tell him?" Vivian asked.

Sam sighed. "I can't Viv."

"He deserves to know."

"I can't make him give up the chance of having a family."

"You should let him make up his own mind Sam."

"I can't Viv. I can't tell him."

"Tell who what?" came a voice from behind them.

Sam and Viv whirled around to see Danny standing there looking at them with a puzzled expression, holding Sam's jacket that she had forgotten in the bullpen.

"It's nothing." replied Sam quickly,

"What is it Sam?" asked Danny.

Vivian sighed and glanced between the two friends. "Danny why don't you give Sam a ride to the hotel?"

Sam looked at Vivian pleadingly.

"Sure." replied Danny. He ushered Samantha into the now open elevator.

"Bye." he called.

Samantha stayed silent until they got to the hotel, Danny walked her inside and then sat down in one of the chairs. Sam looked at him, her eyebrow raised in annoyance.

"I'm not going until you tell me what you were talking about Sam." he said obstinately.

She sighed and sat down next to him.

"So who were you talking about?"

"It was nothing Danny."

"Yeah sure. Real believable Sam. So you were talking about Martin then?"

Sam's eyes filled with pain and sorrow. Danny ached for the pain that she must have been feeling, after everything that had happened with Riley it had taken ages for the spark to get back in her eyes, and now it had faded again.

She nodded.

"Please Sam tell me." Danny pleaded to Sam.

Sam looked at him, she knew she could trust him. They had known each other for so long, and he had helped her more than he knew.

His pleading brown eyes broke down her resolve. She sighed. "The doctor said that....she said that I won't be able to have children." She smiled sadly.

Danny didn't know what to say, his eyes widened and searched her face and saw the signs of how upset she truly was. "I'm so sorry." he whispered, taking her into a hug.

Sam held onto him, however her eyes were dry. She had cried too much over this lately, and eventually the tears just stopped coming.

"You have to tell Martin." said Danny pulling away after a few moments.

Samantha shook her head. "He has to have the chance to have his own family, I don't want him to give up that. And I can't give that to him anymore."

"Sam you have to. You would kill him if he kept something like that from you. Please tell him. He's so upset you know."

"Danny, I can't."

"Sam you have to. He loves you so much, he'll stay with you."

"But that's the problem! He was so so happy when he found out that we were having a baby. He was looking forward to having his own kid so much...I can't make him chose between me or a family."

"Samantha. I can't let you do this to yourself or to him. You have to tell him."

"But..."

"Please tell him."

Samantha sighed in defeat. "Alright. I'll call him and tell him to come over later."

"Good." replied Danny smiling warmly at Samantha. "It's the right thing."
