Shaylynn walks into NICU and sees Peter and Sam sitting side by side, Sam's head resting on Peter's shoulder. She clears her throat and they both look her way. 'Aren't you two cute.' She teases.
'Shut up and come and meet your niece.' Sam laughs. Shaylynn walks over to them and looks into the incubator.
'She is so cute.' She smiles.
'Well she does have her mother's looks.' Peter says.
'And her father's.' Sam adds, gazing into Peter's eyes. Shaylynn rolls her eyes.
'What have they said?' Shaylynn asks.
'She should be out by, what would have been, her due date.' Sam tells her.
'That's great news!' Shaylynn exclaims.
'Yeah, it's still a long road though.' Peter says.
A month and a half has gone. With no complications and at seven pounds four ounces, Aimee-Leigh has been given the all clear and is discharged.
Shaylynn, Hank and Kelly walk up to the NICU where Sam is putting Aimee-Leigh into the buggy. 'Hey.' Sam smiles as she hugs each of them. 'I told you guys that we would meet you outside.'
'We know, but there's a lot of reporters outside.' Kelly informs her.
'Reporters? Why?' Sam asks.
'A guy fell thirty-three feet. He survived, when, in theory, he should be dead.' Shaylynn explains. 'Also, some have been asking after you. The woman who gave birth at seven months, on a mall and her baby being release from neonatal intensive care earlier than normal.'
'Great.' Sam sighs. 'We'll hang out in the ED for a while then. I'm sure Ms Goodwin won't mind.'
'You're right.' Ms Goodwin says from behind them, startling them. 'I don't mind at all.' She smiles walking over to them. 'I've told you can call me Sharon.'
'How's Dr Hardy doing?' Sam asks her.
'He's doing great. Fitting right in.' Sharon beams.
They all walk down to the ED, it's bustling with reporters, so Sharon allows Kelly, Sam, Shaylynn, Peter and Hank to sit in the doctor's lounge.
After a few hours, everything has died down. Unfortunately, the guy who fell thirty-three feet didn't make it, despite numerous medical interventions by Dr Rhodes. Peter invites Shaylynn, Hank and Kelly round for a few drinks.
As they approach the house, Sam notices that all of the lights are on. 'Why are all of the lights on?' She asks.
'You'll see.' Peter smiles. They pull into the drive way, followed by Kelly and Shaylynn in their car and Hank parks across the road. They get out and walk into the house, Sam carrying Aimee-Leigh. 'Follow me.' He grins as they all walk up the stairs.
They walk to a room at the end of the hallway. Slowly, Peter opens the door, leaving Sam surprised as to what she's seeing in front of her.
