The moonlight filtered through the midnight blue sheers over the window making a magical shadow on Sam's face, like from a dream.

The talk with Jack had gone well and after he had congratulated them on their engagement they had headed home. Now, Sam lay with her head tucked under Martin's chin, who was sleeping peacefully dreaming about the love of his life. It was a completely different matter for Sam, who couldn't sleep while her daughter who she hadn't seen for two years was lying in her hospital bed recovering from being raped. It broke her heart.

For the second night in a row Sam slowly slipped out of Martin's grasp as not to wake him, pulled on some clothes and headed for the hospital.

When sam arrived at the hospital it took some time getting to Lilly's room as she had to sneak past what felt like a million nurses. When she arrived at her room she tentively walked into her room. The chair remained next to her bed where Sam had sat the day before.

The nurse had told her she hadn't had any visitors which made Sam very sad. She was already attached to the adorable girl, who's slightly tanned hand stood out against the stark white blanket. Her face was set in a smile similar to that of Martin's as she slept.

Her blonde hair was fanned out over the pillow her small head rested on. Sam sat staring at her silence. the only sound in the room was the steady beating of the heart monitor. she let the reassuring sound lull her to sleep, her daughters hand in her own.

Martin awoke to find Sam's half of the bed cold and empty. He was a little disorientated for a second while he woke up properly and smiled when he remembered where he knew she would be.

He copied Sam's actions as he slipped out of bed and put some clothes on before heading to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital Sam was sitting next to Lilly who was chatting excitedly on the bed. He wondered if she had told Lilly everything and the look she gave him assured him Lilly was okay with it.

" Hey," He said softly " How did she take it?"

" Good," Sam replied happily.

Flashback:

When Sam woke up she saw Lilly's eyes staring down at her.

" Where's my mummy and daddy?" she asked sadly.

" oh honey," sam replied, " they've gone away now."

" No," Lilly replied, " My real Mummy and daddy. Are you my real mummy?"

It's now or never sam thought before replying," Yes, I am."

" I love you mummy," Lilly said, throwing her arms around Samantha's neck.

End flashback

Sam smiled at Martin before saying, " She has your eyes."

Samantha turned towards Lilly who was watching them intently.

" Hi daddy," she said happily.

Wow she's observant , Martin thought before replying," hey princess."

Lilly smiled at him with her adorable toothy grin.

They had sat and bonded with their daughter till they had to go to work with a promise they would come back that night. They both had wide grins spread across their faces when they arrived in the bullpen. Danny looked over at them smirking before saying jokingly, " Someone got lucky last night."

" No," sam replied " we just bonded with our daughter."

at that, coffee flew out of his mouth and sprayed onto the paperwork in front of him and all down his sharp white dress shirt.

" Your d-d-daughter!" he stuttered. They smirked at him walking towards their desks.

" Coffee?" Sam asked, walking towards Martin's desk.

Martin nodded and Sam gave him a kiss good morning before heading towards the break room.

By lunchtime everyone knew about their daughter. Turns out danny had a secret talent for being a huge gossip. Sam had been agonising how other people we're going to react to the news but the encouraging comments she had been receiving all day assured her- The great Samantha Spade was finally getting her life together. She was in love. She had a perfect fiancée and a beautiful daughter. life was good and she was smiling. Finally.

That night samantha was sitting on the couch with martin doing a sudoku puzzle when the phone rang.

" Spade," She answered out of habit.

Martin watched as she spoke on a phone nodding and saying a few words. After she had finished the phone call she hung up the phone and turned towards Martin.

" It's about Lilly," she said.
