Sam screamed out my name as I shot up out of bed, running into his room.
"What's wrong babes?" I asked as I entered to see sweat covering his body and he was clunching his stomach.
"My tummy hurts." He cried as I felt his head.
My eyes widened as the temperature of his head was hot.
"JAKE!" I screamed as Sam threw up in the trash.
"What? What's wrong?" Jake asked as he fell into the room.
"It-it's Sam. His-his head is burning and he has stomach pains." I said in worry.
"It's gonna be okay. Go get the car keys we'll take him to the hospital."
I nodded running out of the room to get the keys then slid on my shoes.
Jake handed me Sam as he quickly put on his shoes, before taking him again.
We quickly rushed to the car before driving off to the hospital.


       I sat in the waiting room of the hospital biting my nails as the doctors and nurses check on Sam.
Jake sat beside me hand on my knee telling me he was there.
"Elizabeth, Peralta." It was captain Holt.
I got up hugging uncle Kevin as the rest of the squad piled in.
"What happened?" Amy asked hugging me.
"I-I don't know. I was sleeping then Sam woke up screaming, his stomach hurt and he was all covered in sweat with a fever... I-I thought maybe." I stopped before sobbing again.
"Doctor, is Sam all right?" Jake asked as I looked up.
The doctor came over with his clipboard as Jake wrapped his arm around my waist.
"He's fine, his appendixs just burst. We have to do immediate surgery." He said as I sighed with relief.
"Can I see him? Before he goes in?" I asked.
"Of course, right this way." Jake let me go first as we followed the doctor.



      I pulled Sam into my arms as soon as we entered his room.
"Ah, my boy. You scared me." I said hugging him tightly.
"I'm sorry, mommy." He said as I pulled away a little bit.
"Don't be sorry, you were such a big boy." I said as Jake came over.
"Hey buddy." He said ruffling his hair.
"Hi Jake." Jake bend down beside the bed.
"Now, your gonna be going into surgery. Mommy and I will be right here when you wake up okay?" Jake asked as Sam nodded.
"Okay, daddy." I froze in place.
"Ready to go Sam?"
Sam nodded as the nurse came in.
Sam hugged Jake and I tightly before he was wheeled away.
We waved to him until he was out of eye shot as I quickly turned to Jake.
"I'm so sorry, he shouldn't off." I was cut off by Jake pressing his lips onto mine.
Jake pulled away slowly cupping my cheeks in his hands.
"Don't be. We've been together for almost 4 months, I'm so thrilled he called me dad." Jake said as I smiled.
"I love you Jacob Peralta." I said.
"I love you too Elizabeth Conzer." Jake replied pressing his lips onto mine.



         It seemed like months but it's only been a day since we brought Sam to the hospital, and he had surgery.
But of course it felt like that, when your child is sick or hurt it feels like a lifetime.
Sam was still sleeping as I sat in the chair by his bed watching him.
He hugged the elephant stuffy, Jake bought him as he slept peacefully.
I smiled as someone knocked on the door quietly.
It was Amy causing me to smile as she stepped in.
"Hey! How is he?" She asked quietly sitting down on the other chair.
"Good, he ate two jello cups before falling asleep." I said as she smiled.
"That's great... Jake will be here soon, he's just locking up a guy." I nodded.
Sam shuffled in his sleep hugging the stuffy closer to his chest.
"He looks so much like you." Amy commented.
"I know... But he has his father's eyes." I said.
"Does he know Sam's in the hospital?" I shook my head.
"Nope, he's too busy with his job to even think of coming even if I told him." I said.
"It must be tough raising him on your own." I nodded looking at Sam.
"Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do when your boyfriend leaves you and your unborn son."
"I made the right choice." A familiar voice said.
I turned to see Bradley leaning against the door frame.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked standing up.
"I came to see my son, who I didn't know was in the hospital." He said as I glared at him.
"That's because you don't deserve too. You left me remember?" I said.
"Yes, I did. But that doesn't mean I don't care about him!"
"If you cared for him you wouldn't of left!" I yelled him as Sam sired in his sleep.
"What's going on here?" I looked at the door to see Jake.
"Jake, meet my ex and Sam's father. Bradley, meet my boyfriend Jake." I said.
"Do we have a problem here? Cause if we do lets talk outside." Jake said stepping close to Bradley.
"No, we don't... See you later, Elizabeth." He walked out.
Jake came beside me.
"You okay babe?" Jake asked as I nodded.
"Uh, yeah." I said as Sam groaned.
"You okay babes?" I asked going over to him.
"Yeah, you just woke me up." He said as I sat beside him.
"Sorry babes... Jake's here." I said looking up, realizing Amy was gone.
"Jake!" Sam said excitedly as Jake sat on the other side of his bed.
"Hey buddy! Ready to leave tomorrow?" Jake asked.
"Yes! Mommy Jake."
"Yes babes?"
"Who was that man you were talking too?" Sam said as I looked a Jake worriedly.
"Well babes, that was your father." I said.
"My dad? I thought he left when I was a baby, that's what you and Aunty Amy said." Sam told me.
"Yes, he did. But if you want to get to know him you can." I said.
"But I don't want too. Jake is the only dad I want. He never abandoned me." Sam said as I looked at Jake who had tears in his eyes.
"Then it's settled... Now how about we watch some Scooby Doo?" I asked Sam.
He nodded his head as he cuddled into Jake's side as I giggled.
