Chapter 26- On The Way
6 months after the scan, Sam was now on maternity leave. She was almost full-term now. Phil slowly slid into bed beside Sam, trying not to wake her up. Phil had been on an oboe all night. He was unsuccessful. 'How was your oboe?' Sam asked as she cuddled up to Phil.
'Unpleasant. The DCI's given me today off so I'm all yours,' Phil replied. 'How's the little one?'
'Twitchy. I've been awake since half 4 this morning,'
'They'll be a part of this world soon,' Phil said as he kissed the top of Sam's head. 'Seeing as though I've got the day, shall we go and get the things for the baby.'
'Yeah, why not,' Sam replied.
Sam rested her head on Phil's chest as he went off to sleep. Sam got out of bed at about 8 in the morning. She went downstairs and entered the kitchen. Francesca was still there. 'Morning,' she said.
'Morning sis,' Sam replied as she went for the kettle.
'I'll do it sis, you need to rest,'
'Thanks,'
'I'll bring it through,' Francesca said to Sam as she went through to the living room.
It was gestures like this that made Sam wonder what she could've done without her sister. She'd really been there for her during the later stages of the pregnancy. 'Thanks sis,' Sam said as Francesca passed her a cup of coffee.
'That's OK,' Francesca replied. 'Right I'm off to work; some of us have a job to get to,'
'I'll see you later sis,' Sam said as she hugged her sister and watched as Francesca left the living room.
Phil came downstairs at about 10, after a few hours sleep. He entered the kitchen to find Sam spreading chocolate spread on a piece of toast. 'At least we know what you're craving is,' Phil remarked.
'Yep, you want some?' Sam asked.
'No thanks,'
'OK,'
Sam and Phil went out about an hour later to start the shopping. They went round everywhere, buying their babies things. They had decided against knowing the sex of their baby and it made it difficult to choose colours for clothes etc. They agreed on colours such as orange, white, blue, yellow, pink and others. They brought everything that they needed for the newborns. They finished the shopping at about 5 that evening and Phil took it upstairs to the nursery.
Sam was downstairs on the sofa. She felt a burst of pain shoot through her stomach. She had a glass of water on the coffee table and drank it. Sam took a deep breath, she cried as the pain shot through her stomach. 'Phil!' Sam called.
'What is it babe?' Phil asked as he entered the living room.
'Phil! I think it's on the way, the baby,'
'Come on, Sam we'll get you to St Hugh's,'
Phil ran upstairs and picked Sam's hospital bag up from their bedroom and bundled it into the car. He returned to the living room to help Sam in the car. Phil drove them both to St Hugh's and parked up the car. Phil went to get a wheelchair and wheeled Sam into the maternity ward. They found a nurse and Sam was wheeled into one of the delivery rooms. 'Phil,' Sam said.
'What is it Sam?' Phil asked.
'Ring Abi and Francesca, they'll want to know,' Sam replied.
'OK babe, I'll go and do it now. I won't be long, I love you' Phil said as he kissed the top of Sam's head.
'Aaaaarrrrrggghhh,' Sam felt another contraction shoot through her body.
'I won't be long baby,' Phil said to Sam as he left the delivery to make these two important calls.

Phil stepped outside the hospital and made the calls. He called Francesca first; he thought it'd be easier to get through to her. Phil rang her work line and hoped she answered. She did. 'DS Simmonds,' she said.
'Francesca, it's Phil. Sam's gone into labour, she thought you'd want to know,' Phil said.
'I'll be right over Phil, I'll explain things to Neil, hopefully he'll understand. You get back to Sam, she needs you,' Francesca replied.
'Yeah, OK. I'll see you later, bye,' Phil hung up.

Francesca put her office phone down and knocked on Neil's office door. 'Come in!' Neil called.
'Can I have a word guv?' Francesca asked.
'If its quick Francesca, I've got a meeting,'
'Sam's gone into labour, Phil just rung me from St Hugh's,'
'OK Francesca, you get off to St Hugh's. I'll square it with the DCI,'
'Cheers Guv,' Francesca said as she left the office.
'What's up sarge?' Jo asked as she entered CID just as Francesca was about to leave.
'Sam's gone into labour,' Francesca said as she took the stairs two at a time and ran out of the station.

Phil then called Abi. 'Hello?' Abi said.
'Abi, it's Phil. Listen, are you busy?' Phil asked.
'No Phil, it's the weekend, why?'
'Sam's gone into labour,'
'Listen Phil, I'll get there as soon as I can,' Abi replied.
'Thanks Abi, I'll see you soon, bye,' Phil hung up and went back into the hospital and headed for the maternity ward.
