CH 177

When they got there twenty minutes later, they both got out and walked inside and up to the front desk.

"Hello can I help you"

"Yes I'm Captain Carter, I'm here to pick up a wheelchair"

"Ah yes, can you fill these forms in" she pass Sam some forms and a pen

"Sure"

While Sam was filling out the forms, the nurse made a phone call. When she hung up she was doing other paperwork till Sam finished filling out the forms. When she did, she passed them back when an orderly walked towards them with a wheelchair. The nurse check the forms over

"Everything's in order here, why don't you sit in the wheelchair and see if comfortable for you"

"Ok" Sam took couple of steps and turn around and she manage to sit in the wheel chair and put her feet up in the foot rests

"How does that feel, Captain?"

"Good thanks"

"Ok, let me show you how you can collapse the wheel chair" The nurse show Elizabeth how to collapse it and put it together

"Are there any other questions?"

"No, if I forget on what to do, I'll ask Sam"

"Ok, enjoy your day"

"We will thanks"

"Oh before you go" she walk around and pick up a plastic board and pass it to Elizabeth

"So you can use wheelchair car parks it only valid for six months"

"Thank you"

She passes it to Sam then they say their goodbyes and Elizabeth push Sam towards the exit and over to the wagon. Sam manages to get out and into the wagon then watch her mum try to collapse the wheel chair.

Sam could see she was having problems so she told her mum what to do step by step till it collapsed. Then she walk around the back and open the trunk door and lift it in then close it, then she walk around and got in and look at Sam

"Where to now?"

"The mall"

"Ok where is that?" Sam smile

"I'll show you"

Fifteen minutes later they parked in the mall close to the entrance when they saw a man in uniform checking the meter and writing down licence plate numbers. When he walked over to where Sam's wagon is, he saw a woman pulling out a wheelchair from the back of the wagon and closing the door, then walking around to where a young girl was.

"Morning ladies, you know this for " Sam showed him the card

" Sorry, need any help?"

"We are fine, thanks." Elizabeth said when she managed to pull the wheel chair apart and clip everything into place.

"Ok, when are you due miss?"

"It Mrs… Mrs O'Neill, not for another four and half months"

"Wow you must be carrying triplets or quads?"

"Nope just big babies and it twins" Sam said as she slides out of the wagon and into the wheelchair

"Twins, wow they going to be big when they are born"

"They will be alright"

"What you secret, cause my wife she four months pregnant and she hardly showing"

"What is she eating?"

"Not much she said she worried about he weight"

"That is not good just for her but also for the baby, my advice is don't worry if you put on weight think about the baby think about what he… She wants, if he/she wants ice cream at three in the morning don't fight it, enjoy it, and if the baby is craving a weird combination of food, give it what he/she wants then when the baby is happy. So will she, after all, look at me, Jack my husband, he let me eat what I want even if it is a strange combination, he knows that the kids are happy then I'm happy. Then he is happy"

"What sort of strange foods do you have?" Sam smile

"Double meat loves pizza with sweet chilli sauce and slice strawberries on top"

"That horrible"

"I love it"

"Does you husband watch you eat it"

"Yep while I'm eating she massaging either my feet or stomach, it doesn't worry him"

"Your husband sounds like one lucky guy"

"He is and another tip, tell your wife morning and night that you love her and she look beautiful"

"That what my father told me, but she going through the hormone stage, and it driving me crazy and tips"

"Hold her in your arms if you can and listen to her, find out what she wants and if it get really bad buy her, her favourite flowers, perfume, candy, things like that"

"You know, you should write a book on this, it might help other husbands like myself" Sam smile

"I'll think about it"

"Ok well I'll try with what you said"

"Ok, we will let you get back to work"

"Enjoy your day"

"You to" then the guy walked away.

"Ready Sam"

"Yep, let's go shopping"

Elizabeth pushes Sam into the mall where they spent all morning looking around and spending money on different things. At lunchtime they went to a café where Sam brought them both lunch. Elizabeth had soup of the day which was cream of chicken with croutons, club sandwich and cup of coffee.

Sam also ordered soup of the day: fish burger, chips, onion rings, two slices of vegetable quash, ham salad sandwich, slice of cake, two doughnuts, strawberry milkshake, orange juice and hot chocolate. Sam holds onto the tray while Elizabeth pushes Sam over to a table. Sam put the tray onto the table while Elizabeth stepped around and sat down across from Sam. They sorted out what was on their tray while they talked.

"Sam, do you think you can eat all of what you ordered?"

"Mum you saw what I had for breakfast"

"I know"

They talked for a couple of minutes when one of the workers walked over with a tray in hand. It was their drinks and soup. They thank the worker before she turns around and walks back to the counter.

"Sam how much money have you got left of your credit card"

"Mum don't worry about it"

"Sam" sam rolled her eyes

"Ok in the last bank statement I got over two hundred thousand dollars… happy now" Elizabeth was shock

"Where did you get all that money from?"

"Classified meetings and missions I went on before I became pregnant, to two classified training I did over a year ago plus the money from uncle Phillip"

"What money?"

Sam told her about Jeff Burns and his grandson Robert and about the bet and what happened that evening and what Phillip got out of it, then about what happened before Christmas a few years ago and how much Jeff lost and what Phillip won from the bets, everything.

By that time a waitress showed up with Sam fish burger, French rise and onion rings ten minutes after Sam started telling her mum about what happened. Hour later they finish their lunch and Sam finishes telling her what happened.

"Sam you sure can be full of surprise"

"I know so shall we carry on shopping"

"Sure but I need to go to the ladies room"

"Good idea"

Elizabeth stood up and sorted out couple of the bags then she pushes Sam down to where the toilets are. After they both been and relieved themselves, they went back to the truck first so they could put their morning shopping in the back seat then Sam got her mum to move the truck over to the next car park space since their time was almost up.

So Elizabeth moved the wagon over to the other side on the entrance/exit door since there was a free wheelchair car park space. Once that was done and the truck was locked up they headed back into the mall again and carried on shopping for the next three hours before leaving to head on home.

On the way Elizabeth went to get a few things that Sam asked for from the groceries store before heading home. That evening Elizabeth cooks up macaroni and cheese for dinner with corn, peas, onions and diced ham in it. After dinner they both watch some TV for a few hours and talk before calling it a night.

The next morning Elizabeth cooks up bacon and scramble eggs on toast. After breakfast Sam manages to get everything sorted out before the taxi shows up. Elizabeth hung out the two loads of washing in the garage while Sam packed two of her bags and had the bed strip down and left to air while she was away.

Once everything was done the taxi showed up since it was time. Sam started the dishwasher just before they left. Just before her mum and the taxi driver got in Sam look at the house

"Double shields on" then she saw the glow in both stories of the house for a second.

Minutes later they were on their way to the train station. On the way they stop at a store and bakery so Elizabeth could get Sam some snacks that she asked for and pass her some money. Once she got them and was back in the taxi, they were on their way again.

When they got to the train station and Sam was in the wheelchair two of the workers walked over to help them since they saw Sam in the wheelchair. They help carry their bag over and get them tagged and sorted out then they lift the wheel chair with Sam in it. Up and onto the train and into an area for people who are in wheelchairs and they help Sam out of the chair and into her seat then they move the wheel chair to where her mum could get it later on.

Once everything was taken care of, the guy's left to help others out after Sam thanked them. Once her mum was seated all they could do was wait. When a man walked onto the train he called out for the passengers to have their tickets ready, so Sam opened her bag and got two tickets out. When they guy saw them, Sam show the guy the tickets, he look at them then pass them back

"If you need any help to move to the next compartment press this green button and someone will come and help you move to there"

"Thank you… what is in the next compartment?" Elizabeth asked,

"Dining room and bathroom ma'am"

"Thank you"

"Enjoy your trip"

"Thank you" then he moves onto the next person

"How are you feeling Sam?"

"Good, hungry through"

"Samantha Carter you just had breakfast two hours ago"

"I know, I got to keep the kids happy you know" she said smiling

"I know, what do you want?"

"Donuts please"

Elizabeth opens a bag and pulls out another bag and passes it to Sam then she passes a couple of napkins as well to her. She watched as Sam ate four doughnuts. When finish, she was smiling and patted her stomach

"Kids are happy for now"

"I bet" they talk for another five minutes then the train started moving

"We are on our way" Sam said smiling

"Yep we sure are" they look out the window watching everything go by as the train picks up speed.

Sam pulled out one of her magazines and started reading it while her mum started reading one of the books she brought the day before. At lunch time two men help Sam into the next compartment for lunch. Just before lunch Sam needed to use the ladies bathroom.

Afterward Elizabeth pushes Sam's wheelchair down to a table. They both talk while they order and had their lunch. Hour later Sam was feeling tired so Sam asked one of the workers where the bedrooms are, so he got someone to show them where it is.

Once Elizabeth knew which room she and Sam had, Sam went to have a lie down for a couple of hours. So Elizabeth left Sam to get some sleep. She closes the curtains and door before leaving Sam to get some rest.
