Sam had decided to pass some of her spare time on Martin's computer, she was researching Preeclampsia, the condition the doctor said she may be at risk of. She clicked on the first website she saw and scrolled through it, all she wanted to know about it was the affect it could have on the baby. She knew she should have asked the doctor about it but she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Sam chewed her lip as she read through the information.

"Most women who get preeclampsia develop it near there due date."

"When preeclampsia is severe it can affect many organs."

"..may need to deliver early and possibly have a C-section if mother or baby are unable to go through labour."

"Can cause fatality.."

She closed the window and shut down the computer. She couldn't get the word 'fatality' out of her mind, this could actually kill her or her baby? She decided there and then she was going to take things easy from then although she had read that there is no known cause, she thought the chances would be decreased if you take things easy. She wanted to forget about what she had read and decided there was a very small chance it would affect her. She went downstairs, checking her watch on the way to the kitchen she saw it was 4pm, she smiled. Martin would be home in an hour and she was going to make him dinner. She decided they would have spagetti and got on with making it.

After half an hour she was bored again. She turned on the TV and lay down on the sofa. Sighing she closed her eyes for a minute and fell asleep. Soon after Martin put his key in the door and was hit by the smell of burning. He looked towards the kitchen, seeing it was smoky.

"Sam?" Martin called, turning the oven off before looking inside too see some charcoal in the form of garlic bread. He couldn't help but smile at Sam's attempt to welcome him home with his favourite meal. He walked over to the sofa where she was lay sleeping, he knelt down on the floor in front of her and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear before gently running the back of his hand over her cheek letting it linger for a second before kissing her on the lips and getting up, ready to get changed for dinner.

Sam's eyes opened at the loss of contact, she lifted her head and looked around.

"Martin?" He turned round at the sound of her voice.

"Hey, sorry I didn't mean to wake you."

"Shit, can I smell burning?" She said jumping off the sofa.

"Its ok, I sorted it out…It was just the garlic bread." he laughed, "Or at least what used to be.." Sam forced a smile.

"I just wanted to make you one decent meal.." She sighed walking over to him leaning against him with her head on his chest. He put his arms around her waist and rested his chin on top of her head.

"That's ok, its me who should be cooking for you." He said as he kissed her head. "Now im gonna go and get changed, then do exactly that!" He said rubbing her belly then running up the stairs. Sam walked into the kitchen she picked up the pan that had the spagetti boiling in it, it had been left for so long the water had evaporated and the pasta was stook to the pan, the sauce too had gone hard and stook to the pan. When Martin came downstairs she tipped it upside down with nothing coming out she couldn't help but laugh.

"Im sorry baby.." She whispered to him, for fear if she spoke any louder she would cry, her hormones were making her really sensitive.

"Come on, its no big deal." He said putting his arm around her, "What do you say we order a pizza and snuggle up on the sofa?" She smiled and nodded.

When there pizza arrived the put the box on the coffee table and sat and sat at opposite ends of the sofa with their legs up, meeting in the middle.

"Any interesting cases at work then?" Sam asked with keen interest.

"No not really, just someone who was missing for a week, we started investigating and she walks back into her life with no explanation." he shrugs. "What about you, what have you done today?" He said rubbing her leg with his hand that wasn't holding pizza.

"I looked into preeclampsia.."

"Sam.." Martin cut her off.

"It can be pretty serious, so im taking it even easier than I have been doing." If that's possible she thought to herself. "Its ok, im not worrying about it..just taking precautions."

"Good, well im here if you need to talk. I know you have been deep in thought recently, are you scared?"

"You have no idea! I am excited too, don't get me wrong but there are so many things to go wrong and I just.."

"You don't have to explain, I understand."

"I want to be a good mother." she said looking down away from Martin.

"Oh babe, you will be. Even if you think you wont, we are gonna be the best family ever!" he said like an excited kid. She smiled and moved over to his end of the sofa, lying on top of him.

"I've missed you today." she sighed, wrapping her arms around his middle.

"Me too. I love you Sam." He said running his hand down her back.

"I love you too."
