It was utterly amazing. Charlotte was the best baby Luka or Sam had ever seen. She ate when she was supposed to. She slept when she needed to. She didn't cry much. Alex was in love with her. He thought Charlotte was the greatest thing since sliced bread.
"She produces way too much laundry already." Sam said throwing a basket of Charlotte's clothes into the wash, "She's only two weeks old and she's already a clothes horse."
"It'd help if Mommy didn't change her every five seconds." Luka chuckled gently brushing Charlotte's dark curls with her baby brush. Sam gave him a look.
"Precious isn't she?" She asked. Luka nodded.
"Of course. Where's her jacket?" Luka asked her. Sam shrugged.
"Living room I think." She said, "Why? Are you taking her out?"
"I'm taking the two of you out." he told her, "We're buying an engagement ring." Sam laughed looking at him.
"Are you serious?" She asked. Luka nodded.
"Of course I am." he said walking into the living room. he found Charlotte's purple jacket on the floor, "That is if you still want to get married."
"I do." Sam followed him, "I just...a ring."
"Women usually get rings when they become engaged." Luka said putting the jacket on.
"Okay okay." Sam chuckled putting her own jacket on.
Sam was growing increasingly nervous as they looked at the jewelry in the store. She had never been ring shopping before. It made her want to vomit.
"Do you see anything you like?" Luka asked. Sam stared at him blankly. He chuckled, "Nervous?"
"Just...Just a tad." Sam said as Charlotte began to fuss.
"Okay." Luka chuckled nodded over to a chair, "Go sit over there, feed her, and I'll pick a ring out."
"Thanks." Sam smiled weakly.
"What's your ring size?" Luka asked.
"Seven." Sam sat down in the chair and put a receiving blanket over her shoulder to cover up her feeding Charlotte. Sam winced, "You have a good suckage." Sam watched Luka look at rings. He looked so excited to be doing this.
"I'll take that one. " Luka pointed into the case. Sam looked up.
"What one?" She asked.
"No." Luka chuckled. Sam pouted as she watched The cashier box up the ring. She sighed, wanting to see what he picked out.
"Fine." She said getting up, "Can we go though? I'm getting arm cramps."
"Sure." Luka said opening the stroller back up. Sam laid the baby in with a smile.
"She's gorgeous." She said.
"Well, i know where she gets her looks from.' Luka kissed the top of Sam's head and then opened the door for her. She pushed the stroller out into the cold.
"I can't wait for summer." Sam said, "I hate the weather."
"Me too." Luka told her as they walked down the street, "We need to get married in the warmth."
"We're not engaged yet." Sam said.
"When I give you this we will be." Luka finally took out the ring from his pocket. Sam stopped.
"Can I finally look at it?" She asked him. Luka nodded.
"iw as for real when I proposed to you in the delivery room. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. i never thought I would be able to take anyone as a wife, but I met you. I love you, Samantha." Luka said opening up the box. Sam's jaw dropped. The ring was gorgeous. It had to be a two caret diamonds with a diamond band.
"Oh my god." She whispered. "That's...huge."
"It's only a fraction of how much I love you." Luka slid it onto her finger. it fit perfect. "Will you marry me?" Sam nodded.
"You know I will. " Sam smiled kissing Luka softly. God, that ring was perfect and now Sam couldn't wait to be someone's wife.

Everyone loved Sam's ring. Sam loved showing it off. She was proud to be marrying Luka. Alex was so excited to actually see a ring on his mother's finger.
"I can't believe the size of that thing." Abby stared at Sam's ring. She blushed deeply.
"It's not that big…" Sam said glancing at her finger.
"It's not that big?" She asked. "Yes it is. You should be proud to have a rock like that."
"I am…" Sam said picking up one of her charts. She quickly walked off. She knew what Abby and Luka once had. She knew what they once had was gone, but she was still uncomfortable. "I need to go check an IV." She smiled weakly and quickly walked off. Sometimes she hated being here. She wished she was a stay at home mother, but then again, Sam knew she would get restless. "Mr. Smith, how are you doing?"
"Good now that you're here." The old man said.
"Oh you flatter me so much." Sam winked checking his IV. The old man chuckled.
"Men are suppose to flatter lovely young women." he said to her, "Are you going to take his name?" Sam glanced at him.
"Who?" She asked. Mr. Smith chuckled.
"When you get married, are you going to take your husband's name?" He asked her. Sam froze for a second. Would she take Luka's last name? Samantha Kovac. That did sound nice.
"Oh Probably." Sam chuckled. "That's what girls do nowadays don't they?"
"I think so." Mr. Smith smiled, "I wish you luck. Being married is the most amazing thing in the world."
"Thank you. I can't wait to take the plunge." Sam chuckled, "I'll be back later to check on you okay?"
"I'll be looking forward to it." He said. Sam chuckled walking back to the admit desk. She picked up the phone and dialed the house number.
"Kovac residence." Alex answered the phone.
"Hey, Buddy." Sam smiled.
"hey. When are you coming home?" Alex asked.
"Later. Is Luka there?" She asked.
"Yeah, hold on." Alex put the phone down. She could hear Alex screaming for Luka. She chuckled.
"Hello?" Luka picked the phone up.
"Hello, Sexy." Sam said, "What are you wearing?"
"A thong." Luka chuckled, "What are you wearing?"
"Edible panties." Sam whispered. Luka groaned.
"Daddy likes." he said.
"Good." Sam said, "How's Charlie?"
"She's asleep." Luka told her, "She was a little fussy earlier, but she's good now."
"Babies, They're always good when they're asleep." Sam said. Luka smiled.
"That they are." he said. "So, how does everyone like your ring?" Sam could not help but to laugh loudly.
"They are amazed with it." Sam said, "Everyone loves it."
"Are they amazed that someone like me would get it?" he asked.
"I think they're amazed you gave it to someone like me." Sam chuckled. She heard Luka groan on the other end. "I didn't mean it like that."
"Sure you did." Luka said, "I think you're an amazing woman."
"Well, thank you." Sam could not help but to blush slightly.
"Sam, your guy is coding." Chuny called out. Sam looked up and saw Abby running into Mr. Smith's room.
"Oh shit." Sam dropped the phone and ran into his room. "Oh god, Mr. Smith." She grabbed the crash cart.
"Charge to one-fifty." Abby said opening up his gown. Sam handed her the paddles and turned the machine up. "Clear." She placed the paddles on his chest. The body jumped.
"Nothing." Sam said.
"Two hundred." Abby said. Sam quickly turned it on. "Clear."
"Clear." Sam whispered. The body jumped again, "Nothing."
"Push an epi." Abby said.
"He's so old." Sam said pulling out a drawer. The heart monitor beeped louder. Abby looked at it.
"Shut it off." She said, "Does he have any family?"
"Not that I know of…" Sam said.
"Okay, time of death twenty fifty-four." Abby said taking her gloves off, "You can handle it?"
"Yeah.." Sam whispered cleaning off his chest. Just a few minutes ago this man had been wishing her all the luck in the world, but now...Now he was dead.
