Promises

It was nine thirty at night, exactly one week after he had gotten the biggest news of his life, so far. He and Jules had not spoken about it since and Sam was not looking forward to two days off to think about the fact that he was going to be a father.

"Sam!" Jules' soft, yet loud voice immediately snapped him out of his thoughts as he walked into the main part of his apartment.

"Jules-" Sam looked at her, his head nodding to one side. "What are you-"

"I never returned my key," Jules answered his confused state, "I thought it would be best that I didn't wake your neighbours. You know its pretty late." Jules fumbled for something inside her coat pocket.

"Ah-huh and why are you here?" Sam asked, carefully taking a few steps closer to her.

"I had my first doctor's appointment today. I got this." She placed a sonogram picture on his kitchen counter. "I thought you might want to see it."

Sam nodded his head as he walked towards the sonogram and picked it up. "How far along are you?" He asked, a small smile forming on his lips as he looked at the first picture of his baby.

"Almost four months."

"I want to go to the next appointment." He told her, placing the picture back on the counter and looking into her brown eyes.

"I don't know if I'm ready for that yet Sam." Jules admitted. "I still don't know how involved I want you to be."

"Come here." Sam gently took her hand, he led her into his bedroom. Sitting her gently on the end of his bed he opened his bedside table drawer. "Open it," he prompted.

"Sam, I'm not marrying you;" Jules told him as she opened the box and saw a beautiful engagement ring inside. "We're not dating anymore."

"Jules!" Sam sighed shaking his head. "We're having a baby together."

"I still don't want to marry you."

" Fine, don't think of it as an engagement ring; think of it as a promise ring; a promise that I'll always be there for you and our baby." Sam told her running his hand through his blonde hair. "I love you Jules."

"Sam, "Jules stood to leave. "I can't do this I just came by to drop off the picture."

"No!" Sam was quick to grab her arm. "You're sleeping here tonight."

Jules raised an eyebrow at him.

"In my bed, and I'll sleep on the couch." He clarified. "And that is not up for discussion."

"Fine!" Jules collapsed onto his bed. "But I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning."

"Fine." Sam acknowledged as he closed his bedroom door behind him as he left.
