Eyes fluttering open a frown formed on Sam's features. She felt sore. Really sore in fact. Glancing around her she was confused. This didn't look like her wedding reception at all. She couldn't remember a lot of what had happened. Last thing she remembered was going to the bathroom. Rubbing her forehead a little she then turned and saw Steve sleeping in the chair next to her bed. Steve and a tiny baby happily sleeping on his chest with Steve's hand on the baby's back supportively as they both slept peacefully. She couldn't help but look at them both in complete awe. It was such a beautiful sight. Looking up as the door opened she smiled slightly to the doctor who came in.
"You're awake." Mused the doctor as he made her way over to her. "How are you feeling Mrs McGarrett?"
"Sore." Sam admitted looking to him. Looking back to Steve and the baby she then looked to the doctor once more. "How long was I out for?"
"A few hours. Completely normal considering what happened." The doctor smiled to her. "You'll be sore for a few days but we can give you painkillers to help with any discomfort. You'll be able to go home in a few days."
"What happened?" Sam asked as the doctor done her blood pressure.
"What's the last thing you remember?" The doctor asked curiously to her.
Sam thought for a minute before sighing a little. "I was at my wedding reception…I went to the bathroom…then I woke up here. So not a lot really." She looked to Steve and the baby. "Is the baby going to be okay?"
The doctor nodded and smiled. "Your baby is perfectly healthy." He smiled. "You suffered a placenta abruptio where the placenta separates too early from the wall of the uterus. In a normal pregnancy, the placenta stays firmly attached to the inside wall of the uterus until after the baby is born. In placenta abruptio, the placenta breaks away or erupts from the wall of the uterus too early, before the baby is born. Now luckily you were pretty much full term when it happened so the only real problem we had was you were losing too much blood and we don't actually know how long you were bleeding for before you were found. We had to give you a few blood transfusions to get your blood level up so we could deliver the baby safely, but you are going to be perfectly fine and your son is perfectly fine." He smiled and looked to Steve and the baby. "Someone is a very proud dad…" He whispered with a smile to Sam. "I'll be back in a while okay to do some more obs on you." He smiled to Sam before he left the room quietly.
Sam listened to the doctor before she then nodded and looked back to Steve and the baby once more. She had a beautiful baby boy. She knew Steve would have been over the moon. No matter how many times he said he didn't care what gender the baby was she knew deep down he wanted a son. As Steve stirred and opened his eyes Sam smiled to him. "Hey daddy…" She mused with a smile to him.
Seeing Sam awake Steve smiled to her. "Hey mommy…" He whispered as he looked down to their son before he gently bought him in his arms and then got up from the chair and sat on the edge of Sam's bed. "Think he needs a cuddle from his mom." He mused as he gently passed the baby over.
Sam smiled as she gently took the baby from Steve and looked down to him. "He's so perfect." She whispered with a smile gently stroking his cheek with her finger, happily gazing down to their son.
Steve smiled moving some hair from her face and nodded. "He is." He mused with a smile down to them as he looked to Sam. "How you feeling?" He asked looking to her.
"I'm okay." Sam replied looking to him briefly before looking down to the baby once more. "Sore, but the doctor said I would be for a few days. He explained what happened." She mumbled keeping her eyes locked on their sleeping son.
"Main thing is that you're okay." He whispered looking to her. "Both of you are okay." He lent forward and pressed a kiss to her forehead before smiling as their son gave a yawn. "He has a lot of people waiting to meet him."
Sam smiled and looked to Steve. "He does?"
Steve nodded. "Yes. Everyone is here." He laughed with a shake of his head before looking to her. "Grace was really worried about you."
"She was?"
He nodded and sighed. "She was the one who found you…"
"Oh god…" She sighed and shook her head. "She must have been mortified…"
"Well how about we get you and mister in a wheelchair and we go see everyone? This room is a bit small to get everyone in…"
Sam smiled and nodded to her husband. "Sounds like a plan to me."
Steve smiled and got up from the bed. Leaving the room he went and grabbed a wheelchair before he came back in. Gently taking the baby from Sam he popped him in the cot before he then helped Sam get out of bed and into the wheelchair. "Okay?" He asked looking to her.
Sam nodded getting in the chair and looked up to Steve and smiled. "All good." She promised him with a smile before she then smiled as she took the baby as Steve passed him back to her. Smiling down to him she laughed a little and looked to Steve. "He looks so much like you."
Steve smiled. "He has your eyes though." He told her with a smile as he then pushed her out of her room before making his way down the corridor to the relative's room. Pushing the door open he smiled to everyone. "Look whose come to say hello." He mused as he then pushed Sam and the baby through.
Gasping Grace got up and made her way over to them and smiled down to the baby. "Wow he's so cute." She beamed with a grin before looking to her aunt. "Are you okay?"
Sam smiled and nodded. "I'm fine I promise. Just going to be sore for a few days." She smiled to her. "Would you like to hold him?" She asked her niece.
Grace grinned and nodded as she moved and quickly sat by her dad once more.
Steve smiled and picked the baby up from Sam before he gently placed him in Grace's arms.
"Oh congratulations my baby girl." Beamed Clara as she got up from her seat and moved over to her daughter and hugged her tightly. "No more scaring us please."
"I know I'm sorry." Sighed Sam as she hugged her mother back.
"So…" Danny began as he looked down to his nephew next to him with his daughter before he then looked to Sam and Steve. "What's his name? You kept the names top secret so come on…spill." He mused looking to the pair of them.
Sam smiled. "He's Alfie John McGarrett." She told her brother with a smile.
Joe smiled. "Your dad would be very honoured and very proud of you." He told Steve looking to him.
Steve smiled and nodded a little to him. He knew that his dad would be very honoured.
"I like it." Smiled Grace looking up from her baby cousin. "He looks like an Alfie."
"You think?" Smiled Sam looking to her niece.
"Yeah. And he's going to be so cute when he grows up." She declared holding her little cousin close to her.
"Course he will. He'll follow his uncle." Mused Danny with a cheeky grin.
"No he will follow his mother and his father." Laughed Sam looking to her brother with a shake of her head as she then relaxed in her wheelchair as she smiled and watched as the baby was passed around so everyone else could have a little cuddle with Alfie. It was still so surreal. She couldn't believe that he was finally here!
"You okay?" Steve asked down to Sam as he looked to her.
Sam smiled a little and nodded. "Yeah, just a little tired."
"Maybe you should go and rest." Eddie suggested looking to his daughter. "I'm sure all of us will look after Alfie for you."
"That's not a bad idea…" Steve mumbled looking to his wife. "You need your rest."
Sam nodded. "Okay as long as you're all sure."
"Don't worry Aunt Sam. I'll make sure he's fine. Any problems and they will have me to answer to." Mused Grace with a smile to her aunt.
"That's my girl." Smiled Sam before she then gave a wave to everyone as Steve then wheeled her back to her room. As Steve scooped her up and moved her down on the bed she smiled up to him. "You look exhausted."
"I'll be fine." He promised as he gently cupped her face and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before pressing his forehead to hers, just staying there and holding onto her.
"What's wrong?" Sam whispered looking to him.
Steve simply shook his head.
"No, talk to me." She told him holding onto his hands, her eyes locking onto his even though he was trying to avoid her direct eye contact. "We don't keep secrets from one another Steven McGarrett."
Steve sighed and looked to her. "I'm just so relieved that you and the baby are okay." He whispered looking to her. "I was so scared that I was going to lose the both of you…" He admitted looking to her with a sigh as he just held her close to him. "The thought of losing you and the baby…it was like a living nightmare."
Sam moved her arms around Steve and hugged him tightly. "Neither of us are going anywhere." She promised kissing the side of his head, just holding her husband. She didn't want him to be scared. It was so out of character for him. Normally he was strong and protecting her…seeing him feel threatened and fragile was something that was so new to her. "You don't have to be scared, Steve. Me and the baby aren't going anywhere. You are stuck with us. Forever." She mused with a chuckle to try and lighten the mood.
"I know." He whispered kissing her head before he then looked to her and smiled. "You get some rest okay?"
Sam smiled and nodded getting comfy in the bed. "Okay. Go look after our little boy." She told him with a smile.
Steve smiled to her. "I will don't worry." He promised before he then left her to get some sleep. Heading back to the relative's room he couldn't help but laugh to himself at Grace who seemed to have taken a hold of the baby once more. "You like your baby cousin then?"
Grace smiled and nodded. "I love him." She beamed proudly with a smile as she happily cuddled him.
"How is Sam doing boss?" Kono asked looking to him.
Steve smiled. "She's good. Hopefully she'll be able to come home in the next few days. She's just tired and sore right now."
"Any news on Mary?" Danny asked looking to Steve.
Steve shook his head and sighed a little. "No. Both her and Joan were too sick to travel and it's a long flight here. She's gutted she missed the wedding, she'll be even more gutted when she finds out Sam has had the baby already."
"And what about our recently returned former friend?" Danny asked. He didn't want everyone to know that Catherine was back. It would be a very sore subject for a few of them.
"No and I hope it stays that way." Steve told him with a sigh before he sat down next to Grace and smiled down to his son as he watched him sleep in his cousin's arms. He was so beautiful. His beautiful little boy. There was no greater feeling right now than the feeling know his wife was going to be fine and his little boy was perfect.
