Chapter 50!

4 days later

"Mr Barlow, I understand you've done this before, do I need to show you again or do you remember?" Gary's nurse, Macey asked holding up a bag of medical supply's. "It's all good thanks Macey, I remember." Gary sighed, Sam had gone to bring the car to the back of the hospital. "Come on then, I'll help you into your chair" Macey pushed the chair to the bedside. "Are you sure I need this? I mean, everything feels fine." "Gary, parts of your hips have been shattered from collision with the ground, your head looks 10 times it's size and you haven't been on your feet in weeks. Do you really think you can walk? You're on the strongest pills the hospital can release you on." "Whatever"

****

Sam was standing beside the passenger side door waiting for Gary and Macey. They reached her and she moved to help get Gary in the car. "Are you going to be right when you get home? We can always send a nurse with you." Macey asked. "It's alright, we're not going home." Sam informed her. "We're not?" Gary asked from the car. "No" Sam smiled at him. "Oh god, tell me were not going to mums!" "Why would we go there, that's hours away" "Where then?" "Robs"

*****

Sam pulled the car up near the front door of Robbie massive house. "Are you sure it's okay that we stay here? I mean Rob likes his space and stuff and I" Gary started rambling. "Gary it's fine. I've been here all the time you've been gone. And plus it was his idea to bring you here" Right on cue Rob and Chloe came running out of the house.

"Gaz!" Rob yelled and opened the car door leaning in and giving Gary a bear hug. "Alright Rob?" Gary asked when he pulled back. "I've just missed you so much. And I- I" he looked to the ground, "Oh screw it! Come here you!" He reached in again and squeezed Gary so tightly he thought he was going to pop.

On the other side of the car Sam handed Chloe the bags from the hospital. "Wow that's a lot" Chloe commented. "Yeah more than last time. But it's not as bad. I mean apparently it causes less damage the second time. And third. And forth." Sam sighed. "Come on, he's going to be fine." "I hope your right"

"Oi you two! Stop waffling and come give me a hand!" Rob yelled out, he already had the chair from the back of the car. He just needed someone to stabilise the other side of Gary.

"Wasn't so hard was it" Gary smirked up at Sam from the middle of the bed. "I hope your not thinking you are sleeping there tonight, cos I'm bigger than you" Sam dead panned. Gary's gaze lowered to Sam's swollen abdomen. "How did your scan go?" Gary asked in a bare whisper. Sam cleared her throat "I'll tell you later, how about I go help the others cook you a nice dinner. Big! Better than hospital food!" "One of the reasons I love you" Gary grinned and pulled her down to kiss her. His lips and mouth were still in pretty bad condition but buggered if that was going to stop him kissing his wife.

"So what are we making?" Sam asked when she joined Rob and Chloe in the kitchen. "Rob's just fixing up a Garlic and herb bread for entree, chicken and bacon are sitting there for you to cut up to go in the carbonara and I'm bout to make his favourite custard for desert. Mumma's good old apple crumble." Chloe smiled. "That's great he'll love it" Sam said and went to wash her hands.

****

"Wakey, wakey Gaz! Tea's ready!" Rob woke Gary up as he went into the room carrying a table. "What the fuck is that Rob?" "A table" "I know that, whys it here?" "So we can eat" Rob smiled and left the room muttering something about a tablecloth. Gary sighed and put his head in his hands. He decided he was going to get up. He reached out and put his hands on his chair pulling it close before sliding out of bed and onto the chair. He grunted upon impact. 'Ouch, that hurt'

****

"Guys that was soo good! Do you know how long it's been since I've had a prober home cooked meal! Feels like forever! Thank you so much, you don't realise how much I love yo all!" Gary commented everyone. "Awww Gaz! Give us a kiss" Rob leaned forward and he and Gaz kissed. On the lips. Sam and Chloe looked taken aback. "Hey!" "Oi!" "What about us!" "Always knew you always loved each other!" Chloe and Sam giggled before pulling their men apart. Gary's face seemed a little red. He was so cute when he got embarrassed.

****

"So" Sam and Gary were in bed. Sam's singlet top was halfway up her body. "What happened?" Gary asked again. Sam reached into the drawer and pulled out the ultrasound photo handing it to Gary. A smile crossed his face as he studied the photo. "If she keeps sucking here fingers like that they'll end up as long as yours" Sam laughed. Gary raised his eyebrow. "Yep I said she" a single tear ran down Gary's face as he lay in shock. 'Im going to have a little girl' he thought.
