NOTHING FEELS THE SAME

Chapter 29

"What? Gary..... no....... I would never......." "Then how do you explain it? 11 weeks ago i was in Germany with Howard. I was there for 3 weeks remember! How could you be pregnant!?" Gary spoke through gritted teeth. "I...I dunno. Gary, I love you, I'd never do anything like that to you" she stammered. "Then how do you explain it?" "I..I...."

"Oh Miss Rigby! It's good to see you awake, you will be pleased to know both you and baby are doing fine. I'm your nurse and you can call me Shannon" The nurse interrupted and bubbled away, unaware of the tension rising in the room. "I want a test done?" Gary announced from his chair. "I'm sorry, what? Have i missed something here?" Shannon looked around confused. "The baby" Gary clarified but the nurse still looked lost. "I want a test done to see if the baby is mine" "Oh" she was speechless. "Gary im telling you it is! You are the only person I've had sex with in over two years! For gods sake listen to me!" Sam screamed across the room. "The test?" Gary asked the nurse rather calmly. "We can't do it here, we are barley classified as a hospital. You need to go back the mainland" Gary sighed "Good thing we are going there today then"

*************

Later that afternoon Gary and Sam were sitting in a private room in the Royal Prince Albert hospital. They got a helicopter back over and were accompanied by Mr Nichols. He had started to act like a personal bodyguard. He'd spoken with DCI Leslie and the police in the UK were in collaboration with the Aussie Police.

Since leaving the first hospital Gary hardly spoken to Sam. He'd even avoided looking at her. Mr Nichols was waiting for them out side.

A well dressed lady walked through the door and came and sat down with them. She went through everything they needed to know, like the chance of miscarriage. But Gary was determine and Sam agreed to the test.

"Okay Sam, if i could get you to change into these for me," she held up a hospital gown and paper underwear "I'm just  going to talk to Gary outside then I will send him back in and he can come get me when your ready, alright?" Sam nodded.

"You really need to go easier on her! She's doing this for you! Have some faith in her, please! When it's done she is going to be in alot of pain and she's going to need you there" Gary ran his hands over his face and through his hair. He breathed out "Your right, im sorry" "Don't apologise to me, get back in there with her, and call me when your ready."

Gary went back into the room to see Sam struggling with the different style of gown. Gary walked up behind her and helped her get in it. "I'm sorry" he whispered but she just pushed him away. "READY!" she yelled loud enough for the doctor to hear. She lay down on the table and Gary sat on the chair beside her. "Okay, first im going to do an ultrasound, you will be able to see your baby on screen and i will be able to tell you how far along you are" "11 weeks" Gary muttered.

Sam squirmed as the gel was spread along her stomach. In no time she could make out her baby on the screen. She was so happy she was almost in tears. "Okay so your right, 11 weeks. Almost, not quite yet. Now this is going to be the bit you wont like. I will give you a general antistatic to numb the walls of your stomach"  

Okay, so that hurt. But when she pulled out the motherfuckin needle she was going to put in next Sam's hand shot over to Gary. He grabbed her hand immediently and started fidling with her hair. "Are you ready?" Sam nodded. She squeezed down on Gary's hand she thought she may have broken bones.

Half an hour later Sam was in a recovery bed with Gary beside her. He hadn't said much, but she could tell he was holding it inside. She felt like utter shit. She was bleeding, not heavily but still. She had painful cramps in her abdomen and it felt like she was on her period. 'This is suppos to be the good bit about being pregnant, not feeling like killing yourself every month' "Miss Rigby you are fine to leave now, the results of DNA should be available within days because he have Mr Barlow's sample to match with. We will contact you when we have results. If anything feels wrong please call us straight away."

Gary must have changed their schedule because Sam found herself being helped into a 5 star hotel in Sydney, not boarding a flight to Launceston. Once she was comfy in the bed with a hot water bottle on her belly Gary sat beside her "I'm sorry for being so harsh Sam" "Gary please, can you just go get me some Naprogesic and lite pads?" "What?" "Gary, im bleeding into my pants here, i want some pads, and my stomach cramps so bad I want some Naprogesic, I'm sure there is a chemist nearby" "Alright, I'll be as quick as I can" he kissed the top of her head then ran out the door.

When he was gone Sam moved herself into so many different positions, legs in the air, curled up in a ball, on her tummy, on her back but she was in so much pain. She screamed out in frustration and bashed the pillows, the sheets were twisted and thrown all over the place. 

Gary returned with what she asked. He got her some nibbles while she got changed, then she took the tablets and went back to bed. Gary went with her and she wrapped herself around him. "I'm positive this baby is yours Gary" she almost cried. "We will wait and see" was his response.
