Chris POV

I've woken up earlier then expected so I decided to make Sam some breakfast, we had an incredible date last night and then came home and had an incredible night. She really is everything to me. I'm just finishing of the pancakes when I hear a noise from upstairs. I turn the stove off and run up, Sam is hunched over the toilet being sick. I bend down next to her and stroke her back.
"Baby?"
Once she finally stops, she sits down, leaning against the wall. She looks awful. I feel her head and she is burning up.
"You have a fever sweetheart"
"I don't feel good"
"Come on, let's get you back to bed and I'll go grab everything you need from the medicine cupboard"
She just nods, I help her up so she can brush her teeth and wipe her mouth. I gently lay her in bed and cover her up.
I push the hair out of her face "I'll be back okay"
She nods, I run to the other bathroom and get all the medicine I can think off. I take it too her and give her the amount she needs.
"Thank you" her voice is so strained.
"Your welcome, are you hungry?"
"I am but I'm scared to eat"
"How about I make you some toast and then you just take it from there okay?"
She nods, I grab her some breakfast and some water and some orange juice and take it all up to her. She looks so sick, I just want to hold her to make her feel better.
"You better stay away babe, I don't want to get you sick too"
I crawl into bed with her and let her lay on my chest. "I couldn't care less about getting sick okay. I'm here for you whatever you need"
She smiles "I love you"
"I love you too"

It's been a few hours and Sam is sleeping, I hear my front door open so I slowly peel my self away from her and shut the door and head down stairs.
"Hey sweetie"
"Hey mum. Keep it down sams sleeping she is sick"
"Oh no. Does she need anything?"
"No we have everything but I just want her to rest"
"Okay, well I won't stay long then. How about I wiz up a batch of my chicken soup and she can eat that when she wakes up"
"That would be amazing that you ma"
I kiss her cheek and she gets to work.
"You know chris, I really like you with Sam. She is good for you"
"Thanks Ma, I really love her. I couldn't imagine my life with out her in it. That competition was the best thing ever"
"I can tell how much she loves you too. And she is so sweet with all of us. She just fits in"
"She does and I know she adores all of you"
"Well we adore her too"
I smile, my mum isn't always the most approving of my girlfriends so it means so much that she likes Sam.

Sam POV

I wake up to hear talking down stairs, I wrap the blanket around me and walk to the stairs. I can hear chris and his mum. She is talking about me and how she likes me and is happy I'm with chris. It makes me smile. I'm stood there listening when I start to feel really dizzy. I go to grab the rail but I miss and I fall. All I hear is chris shouting me name "Sam!!!"
I don't really remember much else. Things just kind of went black.

Chris POV

I'm just talking to my mum when I hear a huge crash, I run to the stairs and see Sam at the bottom of the stairs.
"Sam!!"
She isn't responding to me "mum call the emergency service quickly"
My mum gets straight on the phone and they get to the house pretty quickly. They wheel her to the ambulance and let me ride along with her. My mum stays back and takes care of everything.
When we arrive at the hospital, I notice people Staring at me. I don't really care at this point.
The doctor checks Sam over and tells me she is going to be okay, she has a viral infection so with some antibiotics and rest she will be just fine. She must have got dizzy at the top of the stairs and fell.
I sit by her side and wait, I call her uncle who is out of town and let him know what's happened. He thanks me for taking care of her. I then ring my mum and let her know. She is so thankful she is okay.

After about an hour Sam wakes up
"Chris?"
"Hey baby, how you feeling?"
"What happened?"
"You fell, down the stairs. You must have gotten dizzy. Do you remember?"
She nods "your mum was saying nice things about me"
I laugh "you were eavesdropping where you?"
She giggles and nods her head.
"She loves you sweetheart, all my family do"
She smiles "I'm sorry for worrying you"
"Don't be silly. I love you so I'm always here for you okay"
"I love you too"
She has to stay in hospital for a few hours just to make sure the antibiotics are working and then she is allowed to go home. I've told her she is coming home with me. She doesn't try to argue. I want to take care of her and help her get better. So that's what I'm going to do.
