The car ride home was completely silent. They did not receive any news about Samantha's pregnancy from the doctor. Since the short-staffed hospital was extremely busy, they would have to wait. They would have to wait for the news for at least twelve to twenty-four hours.
While they waited for the news, they could fix the problems they were having. They each had a problem with each other. Samantha was irritated at Martin. Samantha confused Martin about their situation.
Martin was supposed to be Samantha's knight in shinning armor. If she was pregnant, Martin was suppose to be bend down on his knees and ask her to marry him. At this point, Samantha felt as though Martin couldn't care less.
Martin wanted to be happy. He wanted to be excited that he was about to have a child. For Martin though, this situation was feeling hastily hostile. He didn't know how to be a father but he was about to have a child himself.
"Martin." Samantha broke the silence.
"Yes." Martin was afraid of what she might say or ask. His mind was already opaque as it was. He wasn't in a mood for an interrogation.
"You never answered my question." Sam pressured him.
"Which one?" Martin lied. He wanted to act innocent. He knew that there was going to be an argument. He needed to make sure he handled it carefully.
"Martin stop being an ass. You know what I am taking about." Samantha did not feel like playing games. She needed to know some answers and she needed to know it now!
"I don't know!" Martin answered honestly.
Samantha was utterly overwhelmed, "What do you mean you don't know. We had all this time to waste and you have not once thought about it."
"Of course I have Sam. Ever since you told me that has been the only thing on my mind." Martin voice rose louder.
"And you came up blank. Just like that!" Samantha wasn't getting anything out of him.
"I'm sorry. It's still frustrating for me." Martin voice quieted.
Samantha put her hand on head. She had a massive headache.
Martin realize that he had said the wrong thing. He did not know how to fix it.
"Did I tell you what I'm going to spend my rest of my weekend?" Samantha ignored the feelings she was having by changing the subject.
"What?" Martin assumed that they would spend the rest of the weekend together. He thought the point of to weekend was to fix their relationship.
"I'm going to Kenosha to visit my mom." Samantha explained.
"Why." Martin asked putrefied.
"Do you have a problem with me going?" Samantha said mystified.
"I think this isn't the right time." Martin stated.
"Well excuse me but I don't think you can tell me when it is a right time to visit my own mother." Samantha muttered under her breath.
"Why are you going?" Martin tried to handle the situation delicately.
"That's none of your business." Samantha snapped.
"I'm just trying to talk to you." Martin reacted.
"No Martin. You can't talk to me about communicating. Because you have no idea where this relationship is." Samantha felt everything he said was wrong.
Martin parked in front of Samantha's place, "When are you leaving."
"Five." Sam answered.
"Five. Five today?" Martin shocked of how soon she was leaving.
"Five today." Sam opened the door.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Martin knew that was a weird thing to say. Meet Samantha's mother to tell that Sam was pregnant.
Sam closed the door and stuck her head through the opened window, "Uh no.s Why don't you stay here this weekend and have some time to think."
"Maybe a day or two apart would be good for this relationship." Martin started to agree with her plan.
"Yeah." Sam left.
"See you." Martin said sorrowfully.
