Our Love Always Finds A Way

"Which is why we need to tell them .. so she won't resent me"

Adam brought Sally out into the hallway. Connor went in to be with Hadley.She was confused to what he could possibly want to talk to her about. She was surprised to see Abby waiting for her
"How did you even hear about this, you've been in London. Did Victor or Nikki call" Adam asked
"No" she smiled "Chance did"she told him "Once I heard I had to see if I was a possible match.. and it turns out I am"
"Wait you're a match... is this real"Sally couldn't believe what she was hearing
Abby came up to her and took her hands "Yes Sally I am and I wanted to be the one to tell you both"she looked at them
Sally had tears in her eyes "Adam"she said
Adam just pulled Sally into him and held her. He looked over at Abby "Abby I can't believe you'd do this for me.. for us. I don't know how to thank you" he said still holding Sally
"Don't thank me yet, we need to hope it works" she said
Sally pulled out of Adam's hold and came over to Abby "Oh it's going to work"she hugged her "I can feel it" she said softly
"Would you like to come see her"Sally asked
"I'd like that, if it's okay"she said
"You are about to save our daughter, of course it's okay"Adam told her
****************
Hadley was coloring with Connor when they came back in, both of them looked up at them
"What's going on"Haddie asked
Sally smiled and came over to her sitting on her bed
"Hadley Bean, do you remember me and daddy telling a special person was going to help you get better, we just needed to find them"Sally asked stroking Haddie's cheek
Hadley nodded
Sally looked over at Abby "Well we just found her, it's your Aunt Abby. You remember her right" Sally asked
Haddie looked over at Adam confused, he came up to her "Bean you  know those noddles you love so much"he said Haddie nodded
"Well that restaurant Aunt Abby owns it"he told her "And she's my sister" he smiled
Abby smiled and came up to her "You know Hadley you can have all the noodles you want. When you are up for it, just tell your Mommy and Daddy to call me and I'll send them right over" she said placing her hand on Hadley's
Hadley got a huge smile on her face, which made her parents smile
"I'm going to go and let you rest. But it was so good to see you sweetie"she told her
"Thanks Abby"Sally smiled back her but not getting off the bed
"You are welcome"
Adam came over to Abby and hugged her, was awkward at first, Abby hugged him back
"You have no idea how much this means to me, that's it's you" he said
Abby then left,Adam turned and looked at Sally
"Did that really just happen... did we actually find a match"Sally asked
Adam came up and wrapped his arms around her "We did Sal, we are almost there, we are almost at the finish line Babe" he said kissing her head
                      ****************
    Hadley was sleeping, Adam and Sally were both watching her.Adam was stroking Sally's stomach
"You doing okay"he whispered
"You're sister is going to help us Adam"she looked over at him
"I know" he pulled her close and kissed the side of her head
Sally rested her head on him, she then moaned.Adam looked down
"Sal, you okay"he was concerned
Sally sat up and closed her eyes and was taking deep breaths "I feel nauseous"she told him
"Okay, it's okay" he started rubbing circle on her back "Do you feel like you are going to throw up"he asked going to grab the bucket that was meant for Hadley
"I don't know" Sally said not moving "Um... do you mind if I step out and get air"
Adam shook his head "No go, do what you need to do. I got her" he told her
Sally ran out of the room. She then leaned up against the wall hoping the feeling would pass. She placed her hand on her stomach
"Little one I love you, but please go easy on me" she said out loud. Then walked away
                  *************
    The nurse came in to start Haddie next treatment
"Hello Mr Newman how are you today"she asked
"Doing good, we just found a bone marrow donor for Hadley, so it's a good day" he said
"It sure is, I'm so happy to hear that. It's want we all wanted" she smiled
Hadley opened her eyes and turned to see who was here
"Oh I see my favorite patient is awake. Are you ready for your medicine"she asked
"Daddy"she looked back
"I'm here Bean" he leaned close
"Wheres's Mommy" she looked around the room
"Oh, she just needed to step out for a bit she'll be back"he kissed her hand
               **************
   They were just getting started with Haddie's treatment when Sally came back in, Adam took one look at her
"Hey is everything okay" he asked
Sally nodded and came over to Haddie "Bean,is it okay if Mommy goes home for a bit. I'll be back later" she said
Adam got worried "Sally, is everything okay with..."
"I'm good it's just this feeling isn't going away"she reassured him
Adam came over and kissed her cheek "Okay, go rest"
Sally hugged him "Take care of our girl" she whispered
"You take care of little one"he whispered back and gave her another kiss
The nausea was getting worse Sally gently pushed him off her "I got to go"she ran out
                   *****************
      Sally decided she was going to pick up the girls from school since she was home. She stood in front of the school waiting for them to get out. Eden ran out first and got a huge smile on her face when she saw who was picking her up
"MAMA"she ran over to her and hugged her
"Hey Bug" Sally bent down and hugged her, running her fingers through Eden's hair
Mazie followed next
"Hey Maz, how was school" Sally asked
"Everyone at lunch kept asking where Haddie was and when she'll be back"she said
Sally gave her a small smile "Come on let's go home"
"Why couldn't Daddy pick us up"Mazie asked
"He had to stay with Haddie" Sally told her
"Why is it always Daddy with her"she asked in annoyed tone, getting in the car
"Mommy will explain soon, I promise" she said as Eden climbed in
                     ***************
     Sally was watching the girls play in the backyard when her phone rang
"Adam, I'm fine. The nausea went away"she answered knowing it's why he was calling
"Good to hear"he said
"How is my Bean"she asked siping her tea
"She's doing good, finishing up her popsicle"he smiled at her
"Thank goodness she loves those" Sally have small laugh
"Sal, I know you told me you were fine. But I can tell something is bothering you"
Sally took a deep breath before speaking "We need to tell the girls ... about this baby"her voice was breaking
"I thought you want to wait, I thought we agreed not to overwhelm them .. what changed" he asked
"Our daughter"Sally looked out the window watching Mazie climb the treehouse"She's starting to hate me"
"Sally she doesn't hate you"
"Yes she is Adam, I can feel it. Today when she saw me and not you ..  that look on her face"
"Sally she loves you, this all confusing for us and we just trying to navigate through it...
"I know my daughter Adam ... I know we are all trying but ..."she started hyperventilating
"Sally calm down take a deep breath"Adam said softly
She did which relaxed Adam
"Babe, I know this is hard she doesn't understand it right now"
"Which is why we need to tell them .. so she won't resent me"she said
"Okay"he paused "But let me ask you this first. What happens when we tell her and she pulls away from you more"he asked
"You don't think I thought that Adam. I been sitting here watching them play. Thinking when they find out how will they handle it"
Adam let her vent "I just don't want her to upset you more that's all Sal"he told her
Sally placed her hand on her stomach "Adam,I'm also about to start showing soon, and I don't want to hide that"
"Can it wait til tomorrow"he asked
"Fine" she got annoyed and hung up
                 ***************
   A little later Sally brought the girls in to start their homework. She sat at the kitchen table with them
"Girls, Mommy will be right back"she told them
Sally went to the bathroom, when she walked it the nausea came back. She held onto the sink waiting for it to pass. Sally got a whiff of what seemed to be triggering her nausea. She picked up the bottle of Adam's cologne and tried not to gag. Sally quickly threw it away. Sally then went back to her daughters
  Sally sat next to Eden looking over Mazie who was doing her math homework. Eden was writing her name
"Can we go see Haddie"Eden asked
"Not right now, hopefully soon though" Sally said softly pushing Eden's hair aside
"I wish she wasn't sick"Mazie said doing her homework
"Me too Maz, me too"Sally said
"She's hogging daddy" she sounded mad
Sally sighed "Mazie come here"she reached out for her
Mazie put down her pencil and reluctantly came and stood in front of her mother
"Mommy knows how confusing this is, and Daddy has been with Hadley more and I know that upsets you, but Hadley isn't hogging Daddy I promise you. Mommy wishes so badly for it to be different. But there's a reason why I'm home more then Daddy" Sally place her hands on Mazie's side
"Why"Mazie asked
"Daddy and I will tell you girls pretty soon. Mommy just needs you to be a little patient"she told her
Mazie nodded "Can I take a break"she asked
"Sure,go on" Sally said leaning back in her chair "Eddy you can too"
Mazie ran to her room, but Eden came over and crawled onto Sally's lap and hugged her
"Oh Eddy, you just know when Mama needs an Eden cuddle"she pulled away and smiled "You are just like your Daddy in that way" she kissed her then hugged her again
                    *****************
    Adam walked into the house, when Sally saw him she freaked out and ran over to him
"Who is with Haddie, why are you here" she panicked
"After you hung up on me, I thought about it you are right this can't wait ... they need to know"he told her
"Okay but again who ... is .. with ... Hadley"she asked
"I called Nikki" he said
This made Sally relax a little bit "Okay"
"Where are Mazie and Eden"he asked looking around
"Well Mazie is in her room probably annoyed with me and Eddy is ..."
Eden came running out "Daddy"
"Right here" Sally chuckled
Adam picked her up "Hey Bug" he kissed her cheek. He then took Sally's hand "You ready"
Sally nodded
                    ***************
   They stood outside the girls room,Adam passed Eden to Sally then knocked on the door
"Come in" they heard Mazie say
Adam slowly opened the door poking his head in "Hey Mazie Moo, can we come in" he asked
Mazie nodded
They came over and sat on the bed. Adam sitting next to Mazie, while Sally sat in front of her placing Eden on her lap, wrapping her arms around her
"Mommy told me about you asking her why Daddy was always with Hadley more then Mommy"he wrapped his arm around her "There is a good reason to why that is"he looked at Sally "You see your Mommy would love to be with your sister, your Mommy always makes you feel better when you are sick right" he asked
The girls nodded
"Right now being with Hadley is something Mommy can't do right now"he said
"Why not"Eden looked up at Sally
"Because.."she looked at Adam who gave her a smile "Girls Mommy and Daddy are having another ...baby"she said
Mazie looked at her mom then dad. Sally was trying to figure out what she was thinking
Sally leaned in a little and touched her hand "Mazie talk to us .. what are you feeling"Sally asked
Mazie looked away before responding "I'm okay with the baby... i just don't like it that Daddy isn't here"she said
"I know" Adam said and pulled her on his lap "Daddy knows it's been hard but I'm pretty sure Mommy told you, me being with Hadley doesn't mean I don't love you"he whispered "You are still Daddy's girl"he smiled
"Mazie Mommy promises you as soon as I am able to be there with your sister Daddy will be home."she smiled
Mazie gave her a small smile back
Eden looked up at her Mama "Does this mean I'm not the baby anymore" she asked getting sad
Adam and Sally gave each other a look at how long it took Eden to process it
Sally gave Eden a squeeze "You will always be Mama's baby, all you girls will be"Sally got tears in her eyes
Adam took over "What that means is you won't be the youngest anymore, you get to be a big sister"he told her
"Oh girls we have more to tell you.."Sally sounded excited
"Is it a brother"Mazie asked sounding hopeful
"We don't know what this baby is yet"Sally caressed her cheek "This is about Haddie. Today we found someone who is going to help her get better"Sally told them
"Who"both Mazie and Eden asked
"Your Aunt Abby"Adam said
"So as soon as she gets those good blood cells. Things should start to look up for us"
Adam's phone went off, he read the text
"It's Nikki"he said
"Do we need to get down there" Sally got a little worried
"No, she said Connor has offered again to stay with Haddie. So we can try and get some sleep again" he chuckled
"Connie is home"Eden got excited
"Yes he came home to see how Haddie is, you'll get to see him tomorrow"Sally told them
Sally looked at Mazie for a second then at Adam
"Come on Bug" she tickled her "Let's give Mazie some time with Daddy"lifted her off her setting her on the ground
Eden came and kissed Adam's cheek, Sally stood by the door and smiled. Eden ran out, Adam gave Sally a wink
***************
A little while later Adam came down to find Sally in the living room laying on the couch. He came over to her lifting her legs up so he can sit then placing them back on this lap
"Where's Eddy"he asked rubbing her ankles
"Oh she fell asleep" she laid her head back and smiled enjoying the massage
Adam moved up her leg with a little more pressure "You look like you about to join her"
"I wanted to wait for you"she looked at him. She gave him a sad look "I'm sorry for snapping earlier"
Adam took her hand "Hey, there is nothing to apologize for. You are dealing with a lot .. it's bond to happen"
"So are you"Sally told him
"That is true.. but you have something extra"he leaned into her "You are growing this baby"
Sally smiled
Adam pulled her legs so she was sitting on his lap. He ran his hands up her back
"I love you" she said as she buried her head into his neck
"I love you too Sal"he said just holding her
