Author's Note: If you were the person on the bus reading over FaireyGirlC's shoulder, she would very much like you to send her a message!
Dedicated to Lucy - to hinder her essay writing (because she called me a meanie!)
Sam walked in the living room finding Jo just sat staring at the walls. She moved over towards her slowly and sat down beside her. "Heaton and Jack told me... Oh Jo, why didn't you tell me?"
"Hmm?"
"About the boy, Jo. I mean I just thought you were ill," Sam frowned.
"I am ill," Jo replied, "I'm over what happened..."
"Yeah and once more, count the flying pigs Jo."
"Sam I swear to you, on that ring I gave you, I am ill."
"Ok, fine. But you aren't over it either."
"I just... I wanted to forget about it..."
"I understand that but Jo, it's me."
"What?"
"I just... I think you should have told me."
"I'm sorry..."
"I don't want you to apologise Jo," Sam hugged her, "Seriously did your ex's do this much of a number on you? Just share once in a blue moon."
Jo held Sam close to her. "They never understood so there was no point talking about it."
"I might not always but I'm always going to try."
"Ok," Jo smiled, kissing Sam's cheek, "Now can I have some TLC?"
"Yeah, a whole weeks worth."
"What?"
"Leave from the powers that be."
"Really?" Jo smirked.
"Yeah a whole week to have you back and smiling."
"Mmm," Jo smiled, "What's the time?"
"Eleven."
"Can you do me a favour?"
"Mmm yeah I think I can."
"I phoned the doctor earlier, said she wants to run some tests so I need to go down to the hospital..."
"Want me to hold your hand?"
"Mmm please."
Sam leant back pulling Jo with her "We get ten minutes like this thought, right?"
"Deal," Jo smiled, still rather pale.
"You know I'd feel better if you tried to eat something, like plain crackers or something. And have you been drinking?"
"Yes Guv," Jo smirked.
"Good little solider."
"Do you want a slap cause I'm not completely incapacitated yet you know?"
"No, I can wait a while."
"That's what I thought... Sam..."
"Yeah?"
"You know I love you yeah?"
"Of course I do Jo. You're a funny little thing sometimes." Sam kissed Jo's forehead "I love you"
"Oi..." Jo said, tapping her lips."Well you are." Sam sighed "Should we be moving?"
"That's not what I meant," Jo sighed, "Where's my proper kiss?"
"Mmm you mean this one?" Sam kissed her nose, "Or this on?" Sam kissed her left cheek, "Or this one?" Sam kissed her right cheek.
Jo wrinkled up her nose. "Don't be mean to me, I'm ill."
Sam smiled, slowly running her eyes over Jo's face. "Right here" Sam cupped Jo's face and began a slow, passionate kiss.
Jo responded equally.
Sam grudgingly broke away from Jo. "Either we leave now or we don't see civilisation for a week."
"The second is appealing, but I really need to get these tests done," Jo replied, "Besides either we go now or tomorrow when its your birthday..."
"Ok, ok I'm moving," Sam sat there, her arms still around Jo.
"We're not getting very far are we?"
"No, not really," Sam smiled and started to move slowly.
"Careful," Jo said, placing her hands over Sam's which were wrapped around her stomach.
"Ahh ok sweetheart," Sam kissed Jo.
Jo kissed Sam back. "Apology accepted."
Sam pulled into a space and looked over at Jo, she was white as a sheet. "Jo, do you want me to go and get someone to help you inside?"
"I'm ok," Jo insisted.
"Alright, but sit there until I can give you a hand," Sam shook her head.
Jo nodded and waited on Sam coming around. She stepped out of the car and stood up slowly.
"Ok, not going to pass out between here and the first bed I can get you on?"
"Of course not," Jo smiled, "As appealing as the attention sounds."
Sam laughed and walked Jo inside.
Jo kissed Sam's cheek lightly as they stopped inside the hospital.
"So, where are we going?"
"Her office is just around the corner."
"Ok then beautiful."
"Not as beautiful as you," Jo smiled, as she knocked on the door of the doctor's office and stepped inside with Sam.
Sam looked at the doctor and smiled... ever so slightly nervous.
"Right I'm just going to do some blood tests and get them sent off," the doctor said, preparing the tray with the needles and vials in. Jo looked at Sam a little worried. As the doctor began to take the blood, Jo squeezed Sam's hand.
Sam smiled at her, rubbing her thumb over the back of Jo's hand. "It's ok," Sam said.
Jo smiled a little and closed her eyes until the doctor was done.
"I hate to seem rude, but would you mind leaving Jo and I for a second?"
"Jo?" Sam wasn't going anywhere unless Jo wanted her to.
"I'll be ok," Jo said, managing a small smile.
"Ok" Sam kissed Jo's cheek and left, though not moving far, she leant against the wall outside of the office.
Jo was got up onto the small bed to be examined and to have some further tests done. About 10 minutes later the door opened. "Well it all looks good to me," the doctor said, "If you have any more concerns just call ok?"
"Yeah, thanks," Jo smiled as the door was closed, "Hey you."
"Hey, you ok?" Sam's hand immediately found Jo's.
"Yeah," Jo smiled, "Bloods are just a formality."
"Alright" Sam wasn't totally convinced, but Jo was smiling "You going to eat something?"
"Sure," Jo replied, "I'm sorry you had to leave the room."
"Mmm well as long as that's the only room you're kicking me out of," Sam said, watching Jo get into the car, she was still worried but Jo didn't seem that bad at the moment.
Jo smirked a little. "You know what doctors are like, some people may not be comfortable answering questions in front of their partners blah blah blah."
"Charming, you were the one asking if I wanted a slap earlier," Sam squeezed Jo's thigh.
Jo laughed a little, placing her hand over Sam's.
Satisfied that Jo was laughing Sam felt herself slip into a comfortable silence.
"You know I've been thinking..."
"Mmm about?
"Well its pointless isn't it? Us living in two houses..."
"I uhh... I think so too, I just didn't know how to bring it up. And can I point out that you have space to park a car without it being broken into by yobs."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I'd like to move into yours," Sam bit her lip as soon as she finished speaking.
"Really? I mean, are you sure?" Jo replied, "You have all your memories in your house."
"I have photo albums and video camera tapes, and boxes. And plenty of room for more, in a nicer house with the love of my life."
"What you mean is you can shift everything into mine because it has more space and you can reach the cupboards in the kitchen so you don't have to starve," Jo smirked.
"Well if you're going to be pedantic." Sam chuckled. "Not getting you anything for Valentine's day," she muttered, pulling into the drive.
"Remind me, are you wanting a birthday present tomorrow?"
"Did I say that I meant spoiling you rotten?"
"Did I say that I meant spoiling you rotten?"
"Impossible."
"And making you the happiest you've ever been?"
"Inside Romeo," Sam gently slapped Jo's bum as she walked past her.
"Oi, I'll get you back for that," Jo said, following Sam inside the house.
