This is going to be a really short chapter. I apologize for the lack of length and the long wait. My sister announced that we were moving two days before doing so. So I had a ton of packing, a lot of moving, and a bunch of un-packing to do. Plus now instead of just living with her and my nephew... We live with her fiancee and his two kids. So there's been a lot going on. But I really do apologize. I know how annoying it is to wait for awhile and only get a short chapter in return for your patience. I promise... I'm working on it.
Lucky froze outside the room where Sam was waiting to be examined. His heart was pounding, his blood running cold with fear in his veins. Elizabeth, Robin, and Patrick trailed behind with Cameron. They were keeping a safe distance, not forcing themselves on him. He was both grateful and irritated. He needed to lean on them, to have their support, in case something happened. A soft laughter, Sam's laughter, rang out of the room into the hall. Lucky pushed the door open a crack, staring in at Sam and Jason's linked hands. His heart sank in his hollow chest. He had suspected that a time would come when they would reunite. He cast a glance over his shoulder at Elizabeth, but she only shrugged. Cameron fussed, the noise traveling into the exam room. Sam's eyes snapped up, meeting his. She waved them all in with her free hand, not breaking her hold on Jason. But when had she ever? Lucky wondered curiously. He cleared his throat, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, of course. Jason was just being over–..." Sam was cut off by Patrick's overzealous laughter. Everyone stared at the brilliant surgeon as if he had lost his mind. Which was entirely possible. Robin smacked him in the back of his head, muttering something under her breath at her husband about his behavior. He snorted, tilting his head to the side with a goofy grin.
"I'm sorry. But I think Lucky meant to ask why the hell you're holding Jason's hand. I mean, come on, we're all dying to know, aren't we?" Patrick asked, looking around the small group. Robin groaned, throwing her gaze to the tiled ceiling. She opened her mouth to apologize for the rude question, but Patrick cut her off as well. "Don't expect me to bite my tongue just because the rest of you are too scared and polite to ask,"
"Patrick!" Robin scolded, throwing her hands into the air. Everyone remained silent even though Jason's blue eyes held a humored glint. Robin shot him a dirty look as well. "Sweetie, you're way too presumptuous,"
"And you're just a little too kinky. I never complain, do I?" Patrick mumbled as Robin's face turned a furious, embarrassed shade of crimson. Jason burst out laughing this time, winning him a scowl from both Sam and Elizabeth. Lucky snickered quietly, making sure that no one really heard him as he covered it with a believable coughing fit. "So, Sam, do you plan on answering or do we have to stand here all day waiting?"
"Jason brought me in. That's all," Sam murmured, even though only Lucky and Elizabeth believed her in the slightest. Both Patrick and Robin knew better. They had, after all, seen the bond Jason and Sam shared during the fiasco of Jason's brain surgery. "The baby's fine by the way,"
"By the way? Are you kidding me?" Patrick asked, laughter bubbling out of his mouth. Robin grabbed the back of his shirt, dragging him out the door. Lucky and Liz followed, muttering something about Cameron and paperwork. Sam looked up, her eyes finally meeting Jason's again.
"They can never know. Either of them. They just can't know," Sam ordered softly, her grip on Jason's hand tightening gently. He nodded, although he clearly disliked the thought of lying to the world. Sam sighed as Jason pressed his lips to the top of her head. "It would kill Lucky if he found out that you and I were married and this baby is yours. It has to be our secret,"
And now you all probably want to roast my head on a stick. A short chapter, a long wait, and a cliffhanger. I deeply do apologize. Would it be too much to ask for some reviews? I really appreciate them and love you guys for sticking with me!
