Chapter 3

About three weeks later, Sam is racing around work like a mad woman trying to get everything done. So far just that morning they have had three gsw, a jumper, and then the normal crazies. Sam just keeps thinking about the past three weeks how great its been. Knowing that when she goes home she will be in her 'new' apartment, with Luka there and Alex. Over just the past three days her life has changed so much. From living in an old run down apartment, to living in Luka's beautiful newly renovated apartment with enough room for like 2 other people. She felt like a whole new person. She had no worries until yesterday morning that it is. Sam suddenly turns around quickly feeling some ones warm arms around her tiny waist and kisses the tall Croatian man.

"Hey there, what are you doing I thought your shift ended an hour ago?" Sam states in a quivery tone.
"I know but, I wanted to wait for your shift to end and go home with you. Are you feeling better?" Saying in a calm voice and kisses her head.
" I guess I do not much but a little. " She bites her lip as she pretty much beats around the bush.

"You still seem quite pale. Maybe you should go home." He states quickly.

Sam stands there soaking in what Luka just said with her head leaning up against his chest. She just wants to let go and just let him hold her. She was so tired, and wanted to go home and go to bed.

" I really should get back to work. I only have a forty-five minutes left of my shift." Sam lets out a little sigh after saying that.
"ANOTHER GSW TO LOWER RIGHT ABDOMIN. SAM , LUKA." Abby states yelling down the hall to them.

Luka shakes his head like 'ok we heard you'. He looks over at Sam and strokes her hair. Sam reacts quickly to him with a kiss on the cheek.

"Only forty-five minutes…" Softly she talks to herself.
" Maybe you should…" Luka shuts up when Abby comes up behind them.

Sam walks into trauma room 1 and helps with the trauma not wanting to. Every few seconds she would look over at Luka with obvious distress in her eyes.

"Sam go get the crash cards he's coding." Abby states loudly.

Sam pale as a ghost and goes to get the crash cards and comes back. With a yawn she hands the paddles to Abby.
" Charge to 150." Abby looks over to Sam.
Sam thinks 'Only 10 minutes come on pace yourself.'. Charges the refibulator to 150. Luka cuts in and whispers something in Abby's ear. Suddenly Abby shakes her head up and down in agreement.

"Come on Sam, Your off hun. Lets go home, so you can rest." Luka puts his arm around Sam pointing her towards the door.

"Okay" Sam walks out of the ER.

As Sam sits down in Luka's car she shuts her eyes just wanting to go home. She slowly looks over at Luka with nervousness in her eyes.

"Umm.. Sam.. Do you think you could be maybe well um.." He stops in mid sentence.

Luka pulling out of the parking garage and starts driving to his apartment with Sam. Sam looking over at him thinking about what he just said. A million thoughts race through her mind filling in the blank word that he left out.

"Pregnant?" She questions softly.

"Umm.. well yeah." He softly states back, not sure if it was rude of him asking or of worrying about that sorta thing.

Sam not quite sure how to answer. She thinks 'Could I?'. The rest of there car ride together was silent. No one said a word. They both have looks of thought and pure concentration a crossed there faces.Sam randomly brakes the silence.

"I don't know." Softly she states.

Luka knows exactly what she is talking about. Not knowing what to say, Knowing that he would be happy either way but he just couldn't face the thought of him getting someone pregnant in the matter of a little less than a month. Were they really that serious about each other that he would be able to live with her for the rest of her life or at least eighteen years. Luka gently touches her face when they pull up out infront of his apartment and kisses her. Showing true affection and passion.

"I love you" Braking through the kiss.

" I love you too" She softly states scared and nervous.

Luka gets outta the car and helps Sam out getting the door for her. Sam immediately goes straight into their room and lays down. Looking up at the ceiling. Suddenly she gets up and walks into the bathroom. Goes to the bathroom on the small white stick. Ten minutes later stands there staring at the stick.

Sam quickly leans up against the wall for support. Literally falling over by what she sees, she slides down the wall and sits on the bathroom floor with a dazed look acrossed her face. Luka gently knocks on the door hearing the slight bang on the floor.

"Can I come in?" He softly bargains.

"No. I'll be out in two seconds." Sam franticly says.

Sam throws the pregnancy test in the garbage and throws some toilet paper on top. She walks outta the bathroom and sits down on the bed picking up the phone as she does so.

"Is everything ok?" Luka says in a concerned tone of voice.
"Ya, fine. I'm going to call Neela." Sam softly admits and stands up and walks out of the room.

Sam sitting down on the couch waiting for Neela to pick up her phone. Still utterly shocked, flipping through a magazine as she waits for her to pick up.

"Hello?" Neela says in a quick tone of voice as she picks up.

"Hey umm….. its Sam. Do you feel like going and getting a drink or something?" Sam softly asks.

" Ya sure. Is everything ok?" Neela says like she knows something isn't right Sam never wants to go out on a Friday when she could be with Luka.

"No umm…… I'll meet you out side of County in an ten minutes?" Sam quickly says.

"Okay."

Neela hangs up and puts on her winter coat and gloves. Since Michael isn't home she doesn't need to tell anyone she is going out. She picks up a piece of paper and write 'out with Sam call my cell if you want me. I love you! Neela'. Neela walks out of the door and meets Sam outside of county. Noticing the tears pouring down her face like a faucet she hugs Sam.

"What's going on? You ok?" Neela and Sam start walking to the bar.

"Does it look like I'm ok?" Sam sarcastically admits and stops walking.

"No it doesn't I wish you would tell me." Neela looks at Sam as she stops walking.

" I'm.. I'm….. pregnant." Softly Sam admits this to her friend.

Neela not quite sure what to say . She doesn't want to say the wrong thing. Neela puts her arm around Sam.

"Want to go somewhere other than the bar to talk. To much temptation. Don't you think?" Neela sweetly says.

Sam just shakes her head up and down in response. Sam sits down on the bench at the park next to Neela. Tears welling up in Sam's eyes.

"What do you think Luka will say?" Sam softly questions there relationship and her capabilities of being a mother.

"Luka's a great guy. I don't know what he would say but I know no matter what he will be there for you." Neela says in her comforting tone of voice.

"I don't know what I am doubting I've done it before right? I can do it again……. I hope…" Sam softly says.

"I think I am going to go……. Talk to Luka." Sam says as she stands up.

Sam walking back to her apartment. She quickly goes up the stairs and walks into the apartment. Luka is sitting there waiting for her. Sam quickly sitts down on the couch next to him and puts her head on his chest ready to cry. Luka strokes her hair and holds her hoping to make her feel better. Sam quickly falls asleep in his arms, forgetting to tell him and forgetting about everything that happened just laying there in his arms made all her worries go away.
