Note to reviewers:
Punkrock522- Thanks for the review! Will she tell him? Good question!
Breakthefloor22- Thanks for the review! I can't believe I'm someone's favorite author. Wow. I have mine but I never expected to be someone else's. It was 13 pages on word but I also type in a bigger font. For good Samka stories I would recommend Husbands & Wives Friends & ExLovers by image6 and The Two Men She Loved. There is also a C2 community on the website called HereWith Me. It has a list of Samka fanfiction that is posted on Enjoy! And happy reading!
Told from Luka's Point of View
"Thanks for coming Luka." Michael told me as I got out of the car. I took in the scenery around me. This would be my home for the next five months. Five months without her. Without the woman I promised to love and cherish till I die. But I left her back in Chicago in a different country half way around the world. I missed her already. I missed her by the time the plane took off. And I miss the kids. I followed them into the clinic and immediately started working.
Told from Sam's Point of View
"Alex!" Hurry Alex I'm going to be late for work. I have to drop you off at school, drop Lucy and Josh off at daycare, and then I have to get to work. "Alex let's go!" Alex can bounding down the stairs and grabbed his backpack off the floor. He flung it onto his shoulder and walked out into the hallway. I shut and locked the door behind us.
"Mommy let's go!"
"I'm coming Lucy." She ran ahead to the elevator to catch up with her brother. Josh's car seat banged into my leg as I carried him to the elevator. The doors opened the minute I caught up to Lucy and Alex. We stepped inside and Lucy pushed the parking garage button. We rode the elevator down to the garage and we stepped out together as a family. But we where missing one person. A big part of our family. Stop it Sam. It will only make it worse. I pushed the unlock button on the car remote. Lucy opened the door and climbed in. Alex got in the front seat as I opened the other backseat car door. I hoisted Josh's car seat up and locked it into place. I placed his diaper bag on the floor and slammed the door. I walked around the car, helped Lucy buckle up, shut her door, and got in my seat. After buckling I started the car and made our way out of the parking garage and onto the street.
I pulled up in front of Alex's school. "Alex?" He didn't listen to me because he saw his friends. They all came over to the car and started talking to Alex. "Alex!" He turned and looked at me.
"What?" Alex don't give me that attitude, I wanted to scream at him.
"Don't forget to check your sugar level before lunch. Susan is going to pick you up and take you to the hospital." He rolled his eyes at me.
Lucy rolled her window down and yelled, "Bye Alex" as we drove away.
"Mama?"
"Yes Luce?"
"When is daddy coming home?"
"You know Luce. Daddy bought a calendar."
"I miss him Mommy."
"I do too Luce." I pulled into the parking lot of Lucy and Josh's day care center. I parked the car and got out. I helped Lucy unbuckle her seat belt and helped her hop out of the car. She followed me around the car and to Josh's side of the car. I opened his door and unlatched his car seat from its holder. I handed Lucy her backpack and I slipped one arm through the strap of Josh's diaper bag and the other through the handle of Josh's car seat. Lucy wrapped her fingers around my pinky as we walked together into the day care center. I signed them in and dropped Lucy off in her room. Josh and I made our way to his room and I opened the door. I seat his car seat down on the floor after hanging his bag up. One look at him made my heart melt. He looks so much like Luka. Same face, same hair color, and same ears. But he has my eyes. I miss Luka so much. I wonder if he has read my letter yet?
Told from Luka's Point of View
"You coming Luka?" Gillen asks me. I nod my head yes and follow her to the table for dinner. Dinner was nice but I miss take out. I even miss Sam's burnt version of food.
"So you're married now Luka?" Michael says.
"Yeah."
"Is it that nurse you where with when I was there?" Gillen asks.
"Sam."
"Kids?" Hannah asks.
"Yeah three. Um…I have… pictures…let me go get them." I stood up and went back to my cabin to retrieve the photos. As I was pulling them out of my bag an envelope fell out. My name was written in Sam's flowing handwriting. I put the photos aside and opened the envelope.
Told from Sam's Point of View
"Sam you coming?" Abby yelled at me.
"Yeah," I yelled back at her. I put the charts I was holding back into the chart and followed Abby into the ambulance bay. The rig pulled up and I helped the paramedics get a little girl out.
"Where's my mommy?" she asked me in a whisper.
"Five year old female…" She reminded me off Lucy. The paramedic continued to tell us everything but my mind kept wandering to Lucy. All I could see was Lucy lying on that gurney.
As we passed by the admit desk Frank yelled, "Sam phone!'
"Take a message."
"It's Dr. Kovac." My world stopped. Luka. I looked at Abby silently pleading with her to let me go.
"Go." I ran to the phone and grabbed it from Frank's hands.
"Luka?"
"Sam." There was silence as we just listened to one other breathing. Finally he spoke. "I got your letter." I closed my eyes in anticipation of what was coming. "I just feel bad I'm going to miss this."
"You're happy?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"I don't know."
"Luka!" I heard in the background.
"Sam I have to go. I love you. Tell Alex, Lucy, and Josh I love them."
"I love you too. B..." But before I could finish the phone line went dead. Hanging up the phone was harder than I thought. It was like letting him go. And there was nothing I could do about it.
6 Hours Later
"Do you guys want Burger King?" I say trying not to wake Josh up.
"Yes." Lucy says still playing with her doll in the back seat. Forget the TVs Luka had installed in the headrests in front of their seats.
"Alex?" He nods his head and continues to stare out the window. I pulled through the drive threw and order dinner for three. Alex immediately started eating and Lucy munched on her French fries as we drove home. "Alex, Lucy um…I guess I come right and say it. I'm pregnant again. You guys are going to have another little brother or maybe even a little sister."
"I want a sister." Lucy yelled waking up Josh and letting half chewed French fries fall on the floor.
"You are a slut." Alex said under his breath but I still heard him. And it made me want to cry and yell at him at the same time.
A/N – I hope you liked it. Now I have to go watch Amazing Race 7! Go Rob and Amber! Please review!
