Nat, Bucky and Steve were standing in the hall waiting on Sam, I knew they heard what happened.

"I need a couple minutes." I said mostly to Nat as I walked fast past them. Sam came walking out from behind his curtain, Nat groaned, kissed Bucky's cheek and walked away.

"So she is mad at me now too?" Sam asked trying to make light of the situation.

"They have every right to be the way you just acted. You know what you decided with this whole thing why not just tell her?" Steve asked and Sam shrugged.

"I don't know because I thought I had it fully decided until I met Gemma, now I'm not so sure." Sam said and Bucky sighed.

"Decide fast, maybe bring it up to her and see how she reacts. Treating her the way you just did isn't right and you would be lucky to have a girl like Gemma in your life." Bucky explained as I came walking back.

"We need you three to sign the release form please then you are free to go." I said handing them all the clipboards. I waited as they signed, then took the clipboards.

"Thanks now go home and rest up here are work release forms for the next couple of days." I said handing them their papers.

"Thanks." All three said, I just gave a slight nod and walked away.

"Gemma." I heard Sam call after me.

"Yes?" I said turned around to see him coming up to me.

"Can we talk?" Sam asked.

"I am working right now and will be sleeping most of the day tomorrow. How about I call you when I am finally ready to talk?" I questioned and Sam groaned, looked at the floor then met my gaze again.

"Listen I blame the pain for the way I acted, I know stupid excuse...-" Sam started to say.

"Very stupid! You haven't been hurt the past couple of days only today. There is no explanation on why you haven't called me unless you are married or dating someone else which I don't think it is because if that were true Nat wouldn't have set us up. I'm tired of the games Sam." I explained trying not to get too upset since we were out by the nurses station.

"Gemma please what time do you get off tonight?" Sam asked.

"I won't be off until 5am." I said.

"Okay fine, please come out to breakfast at the diner across the street with me. We can talk about everything." Sam asked and I didn't answer right away and heard Nat clear her throat, I shot her a quick glare.

"Okay fine I will meet you there at 5am." I said and he smiled, kissed my cheek.

"Okay great." Sam said and walked back towards the guys.

"You really know how to pressure me." I said walking up to Nat.

"He was pouring his heart out to you." Nat said.

"So, your point?" I questioned and Nat groaned.

"My point is stop being hardheaded and give him and chance." Nat said.

"A chance? A chance? Nat I have given him numerous amount of chances, he is out of them. But I will go to breakfast with him but I'm not making promises." I explained.

"Good." She said.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was finishing up charting when I saw Sam walk in at 5am. I looked at him shocked.

"I wanted to pick you up." Sam said.

"Let's get out of here" I said and grabbed Sam's hand. Once I clocked out Sam stopped us right outside the door. He placed a hand under my chin, pulled me in to a super passionate kiss. Once we broke apart I was smiling ever more.

"Wow, I never should have waited that long to do that." Sam said and kissed me again.

Yeah you really shouldn't have." I said once we broke apart again.

"Instead of breakfast can I show you something? We can pick up something on the way." Sam said and I nodded.

"As long as I can sit and enjoy the ride I am all in." I said smiling.

"I hope you are." Sam mumbled so I didn't hear and we headed to his car.

***2 HOURS LATER***

I had fallen asleep on the car ride and Sam knew how tired I was so he left me. When he started driving he took ahold of my hand and even through me sleeping he never let go. I woke up when I felt the car come to stop and I looked to see a simple but nice house.

"Where are we?" I asked and gave a small stretch.

"This is what I wanted to show you. This is my new house." Sam said as we got out of the car and I looked at him confused.

"What do you mean your new house?" I questioned as he unlocked the door and we walked in.

"The reason I have been so busy at the firehouse and everything lately is I was offered the chief position here and so I accepted." Sam said and I just slowly nodded.

"So what are you saying?" I questioned pretty sure I knew what he was saying.

"I am saying as of next week I am moving and this will be my new home and I will be working at the firehouse a couple miles away." Sam said.

"So what about us?" I questioned.

"Well I was hoping you would transfer and be closer to me." Sam said I just stared at him in shock.

"I'm sorry what?" I questioned.

"I wanted you to transfer. I think we are great for each other and I don't want to lose that." Sam said and I just looked around.

"Sam, we just started dating. I also can't just transfer and leave my job to come be closer to you with no place to live or anything." I said and Sam groaned.

"How is it not easy? I would think it would be completely easy." Sam said and I huffed a laugh.

"How would it be easy for me? We don't even know if the hospital here has an opening, I would need to see. But Sam I don't want to leave where I am, I love it at that hospital." I said and Sam just looked at me. He walked closer to me and cupped my faces and passionately kissed me.

"Please change your mind. Gemma I want to be with you." Sam pleaded once we broke apart.

"I want to be with you too but I can't leave." I said and Sam sighed.

"Why did you even accept to meet me and date me knowing this was going to happen?" I questioned.

"I didn't find out this was definite until that day you came to the firehouse for lunch. I was going to tell you on our date but then you mentioned your dream. Every other time I wanted to tell you it never seemed like a good time. I just figured it would be better to show you then to try and explain it." Sam said and I half nodded.

"Sam if we were further along in the dating process or even engaged I would be moved here in a heartbeat with you but I can't just move because we are dating." I explained.

"Gemma please..." Sam pleaded.
