A month passed.
And another.
It had been almost 10 weeks since Jules had gone to the doctor.
She was beginning to show. No one had said anything yet, and neither had she. It wasn't noticeable through clothing, but she could tell.
She knew she had to tell the team. There was no way around it.
Te only thing that could save her now was the fact that the others had noticed something really is going on between her and Sam. So, at least they wouldn't be in complete shock about the two of them…. Together…..wanting to raise a baby.
She and Sam traded off. Sam wanted to be with her and she wanted to be with him. So, they kept going back and forth to each others house almost every night. And almost every night, Jules couldn't sleep. Thinking about them. Thinking about the baby. What was she to do?
One night, she laid in bed, on her side thinking. "Sam", she said quietly. "Yeah Jules?" Sam replied. "Remember that day. That morning I met you?" Jules asked. " Haha, you mean the day you almost shot me?" Sam said jokingly. "Haha, yeah, sorry about that." Jules said. "What about it?" Sam asked. "Well, ever since then, I have never met a guy like you, and that night, at the retirement party, when you sat down beside me, I knew we would be friends. " Me too Jules, Me too." Said Sam as he dozed off.
Jules had many nights like this. Pondering through thoughts of what the past year has brought between them, and what the future will bring.
Sam walked into the SRU followed by Jules. She knew today had to be the day. She was beginning to grow at a fast pace. She wanted to be the one to set what was happening straight from the beginning.
"Briefing in five minutes you two." Greg said as he passed by them on his ways to check on Spike and his girlfriend Babycakes. Haha.
They nodded. Jules pulled Sam over to the side. "I have to do it today." Jules told him. "Are you sure?" Sam asked, trying to hold off this announcement as long as possible. "I think so, yeah." Jules replied, trying to second-guess herself. "I want to help you. It's my problem too. I don't want everything thrown on you." Sam told her in a stern voice. She didn't say a word.
They walked into the briefing room and listened to the plans for the day.
"Greg", Jules said with her heart pounding so loud she was sure everyone could hear it, " Can I say something?"-
"Can we say something" Sam added.
"Uhh ohhh" Spike said.
Sam and Jules walked to the front of the room to Greg's podium he had set up. Jules took a deep breath, but before any words came out, Sam had already taken over.
"Jules and I as you probably know have been hanging out, or well"-
"Dating!" Interrupted Lou jokingly.
"Yeah" Jules added.
"And well, about 10 weeks ago, I went to the doctor. I am-… I am-… I'm um-.. Sam?"
"Jules and I are expecting a baby." Sam said quickly.
Everybody's faces dropped. Then all of a sudden, Ed threw all of his papers down and stormed out of the room.
Sam glanced at Jules, she nodded, and then he followed after Ed.
"Ed, come on." Sam said.
"No. I can't believe this! Look what you have done to her! Look at her Sam, and tell me you don't feel guilty. Jules is like our little sister, and when you screw with the little sister, you also screw with the big brothers." Ed yelled in a furious tone.
"But Ed." Sam said almost frightened by Ed's tone.
"No! Don't even say a word. You have ruined her for the rest of her life, and you can't take it back! She can't work while she's pregnant! You have now hurt our team. Neither of you are ready for this! I have a kid. I know how tough it can get! Ed continued.
"But Ed!" Sam tried again.
"No, you know what. I'm out of here." Ed said as he rushed out of the station in a fury, leaving Sam standing alone as he watched from down the steps Jules being hugged by the other guys.
Sam made his way back up the steps and wrapped his arms around Jules, showing the guys he truly cared for her. She looked up at him and smiled as she held his hand in front of the other guys for the first time ever. She just wished that Ed, one of her oldest buddies from the team, had felt the same way as the others.
Okay, I don't know why, but I kinda liked this one. I think it brought a different tone. Tell me what you think! Review please!
