A few months passed and Sam was still experiencing dizziness, although the sickness seem to have cleared. She still had a very small appetite, if she had one at all. Martin did nothing but worry about her and the baby, although scans had shown the baby was growing well and was healthy. Sam was looking a little lean for a woman of 7 months pregnant, in Martins opinion, he didn't want to say anything though as he knew it would just upset her and she didn't need that. Martin was confused, for him this was the best time of his life, he loved nothing more than watching Sam grow and change as she got closer to her delivery date, but she seemed anxious all the time and it worried him. He had been debating what to do for a fortnight, he knew he should at least talk to Sam about it.

It was times like now that he couldn't get these worries out of his head, it was 3 am and Martin had woken from a dream about the baby. He looked over at Sam, she was lay facing him with one hand under her head and the other on her belly. Martin pulled the covers up to her shoulders and moved closer to here, moving his hand round and tucking it just under the waist band of her PJ's and resting on the small of her back.

Although this baby was a ..surprise, he was so happy and he knew Sam was although at first she was a little shocked.

Sam did nothing but cry, fret and shut out Martin. He had eventually talked her round and she started to realise this was a good thing that only brought them closer. She realised this meant she would probably be spending the rest of her life with Martin when she had thought she would have driven him away by now, and that worried her at first. Commitment wasn't a Samantha-friendly word, well until she had grown quite comfortable with it over the months. She just worried about everything she did affecting her baby, she didn't want to harm him, she would be devastated and Martin, well he would be destroyed. She realised Martin was stressing about what she was doing and eating and picking up and putting down and this made her even more frantic, she didn't want to be the one to blame if something went wrong, she wouldn't be able to live with herself. Sam had never been a child orientated person, she never really had the opportunity. She didn't have any nieces or nephews and rarely came into contact with kids unless it was to do with work, and they were the cases that really got to her but it was the same with most of the staff, especially Martin.

Sam felt Martin move closer to her, she opened her eyes and looked at him sleeping. It was times like these, in the middle of the night when her anxieties would get to her and she really wanted to wake Martin, but he needed his sleep. He worried about her enough during the day without her disrubting his nights too. She gently moved his arm off her and kissed his hand before moving to his side, she swung her legs to the edge of the bed ready to go to the bathroom, she felt a little odd but nothing different to when she was lacking sleep. She reminded herself to refill her glass of water, she turned round to get the glass from the side of her bed, smiled at Martin still sleeping through her heavy footed 'creeping' about and made her way out of the bedroom door, as she took one step out of the room she felt something coming over her, she tried to call out for Martin but it came out as nothing above a whisper before she dropped to the floor. Martin woke immediately to the thud, he looked over to Sam's side of the bed, seeing she wasn't there he lept out of bed and saw her on the floor in their doorway, she was pushing herself up with her arms.

"What happened? Is it the baby? Are you Ok?" She sat on the floor and rubbed her eyes. "Sam?" She just sat there and cried.

"Its ok." She sighed, "Im fine."

"What happened then?" He asked sitting next to her on the floor, realising she wasn't getting up just yet.

"I don't know, I guess im just tired." she wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"Hey," He said putting his arms around her, resting his chin on top of her head, "Its alright, but I think we should get you checked out tomorrow." She nodded, and tried to get her tears under control. "Don't cry baby."

"Its..I tried to call you, it was just a horrible feeling, I could feel something coming over me, I never should have got out of bed!"

"If you need anything send me, that's what im here for!"

"I doubt you can empty my bladder for me, unless im mistaken," She smiled. "Whats wrong with me Martin?"

"Nothing baby, you're fine. Probably just that your under a lot of stress and I don't help by being at work all the time. But we will make sure your fine tomorrow, ok?"

She nodded, taking his hand to help her up as he got up himself. They stood on the landing for a while in a tight embrace and Martin kissed her head, before giving her a loving kiss on the lips and guiding her to the bathroom.

"I'll wait for you, if you want." She smiled and walked into the bathroom. He went downstairs to get her a glass of water. Inside he was worried about her, he was sure it was just exhaustion but he would have to get a doctor to check her over tomorrow to put both minds at rest. Maybe it was time Sam left work.

He walked to the top of the stairs, where Sam was waiting for him. He smiled at how cute she looked in her PJ's with her tear stained face, she opened her arms when he got to her and although he was confused he went along with it.

"Can we go back to bed now?" He yawned and she nodded.

"Only if you promise not to let go of me tonight." He smiled and she looked down.

"Come on," He guided her back to their room by her hand and helped her into bed and went around the other side snuggling right behind her with his hand on her belly, placing a kiss on her shoulder he closed his eyes.

"Am I fat?" He opened his eyes again.

"Sam, incase you hadnt noticed you're pregnant. And is 4 in the morning the right time to be discussing this?" He smiled into her neck

She ignore his latter comment. "Yea but im fat too, there is a limit to how much weight you can get away with putting on and blaming it on pregnancy. I think I have exceeded the limit."

"Do you really, well that's just great but I can assure you, you look perfect in everyway to me, and no you aren't fat!" He sighed, "Now can we get some much needed sleep?" He closed his eyes.

"I suppose." She closed her eyes and let sleep overcome her.
