It had been a week since Faith's miscarriage. After going to the doctor to confirm it, she hadn't left the house.

Because she needed a ride to the doctor's office, she was forced to admit to her mom and brother what was going on. For the first little while, her mom was her biggest comfort but now, she just needed time to herself.

Finn however, was trying his best to comfort his sister while knowing she was still mad at him. That mixed with the fact he had no idea where his life was going right now made for a really deep hole for him as well.

Carole was at the end of knowing what to do. Faith had already missed a week of classes and if she missed any more, there's no guarantee she wouldn't start failing classes. So, she decided to recruit the one person she knew could help.

As Faith was laying in her bed, she felt numb. That's How grief worked for her. After letting her sadness overtake her for a few days, she shuts down and becomes like a robot. No tears in sight.

Unfortunately, she wanted the tears. Because when she got one last cry in, it meant she was ready to move on with her life without everything haunting her 24/7.

When she heard a knock at the door, she felt slightly annoyed.

"Mom, I love you and I appreciate you supporting me but I really am not feeling up for it right now." She said, Her mom had been trying to pull her out of bed all week to go to school. And it was Monday morning so it would be the perfect time.

"It's not your mom..." An all too familiar voice spoke.

Faith whipped her head around to meet eyes with Sam.

She had imagined this moment. What it would be like to see him after their last exchange. How she couldn't wait to tell him off. Get angry with him. Anything. But the emotion she felt washed over her was one of relief.

When she saw him and his warm eyes, she pulled herself out of bed and practically threw herself into his arms.

Sam was surprised, with the description of how Faith's mom had described her State, he figured she would have been more cold towards him.

He was quick to welcome the embrace and hold her tighter than he ever had.

After a few seconds, faith pulled away to face Sam, tears In Her Eyes.

"Sam..you need to know. The baby...our baby.." she trailed off.

"I know Faith. And I'm so sorry I wasn't here."

And for the first time since she became numb, Faith's tears started falling. And eventually, sam's did too.

Still there in each other's arms, they remembered the feeling of being together. No safer place than with each other. No one who understood them quite like eachother.

After a few minutes, Sam grabbed his hand and let her sit on her bed next to him.

"Look, I'm so sorry I wasn't here for you. I know why you didn't want me. The last time we talked about it I was a jerk. But I'm here now. And there's nowhere else I'd rather be than protecting you."

"Sam... We both said things that weren't right. I knew you didn't want the baby. I wasn't even sure if I did. But I can't help thinking I let you down. I couldn't even protect our baby. And when it happened, I didn't call you. I'm so sorry I didn't call you.''

Sam was quick to hold Faith again. Kissing her head tenderly like he didn't want to let go.

Coming in here, Sam wasn't sure what was going to happen. But he knew now what needed to happen.
