Sam Drake Imagines

Missing piece (Young Sam)

I sat on the cold bathroom floor staring at the never ending timer. I swear that time had never moved so slow until then. I chewed my nails and bounced my leg for what seemed like hours.
'Surely not' I thought to myself. I was late and had been feeling sick and drousy for the last few days, I thought that I was probably just ill but I thought I'd take a test just to be on the safe side.
'I can't be pregnant, right?'
I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts by my a sharp beeping noise. 5 minutes had passed. It was time. I took a few deep breaths in attempt to calm myself before reaching for the pregnancy test.

Positive.

'This can't be happening. We live in a tiny flat with hardly any money, Sam might not be ready for this. I might not be ready for this!'
Hundreds of thoughts flooded my mind and danced in my head as I tried to figure out what to do. I had always wanted a baby but this just seemed so sudden and unexpected.

*An hour later*

I had fell asleep on the sofa and was awoken by the front door being shut.
"Hey Sam." I called trying to act as normal as possible.
"Hi sweetheart." He said sitting beside me.
"How is he?" I asked.
"The same old Nathan." he replied, "you know him, getting into fights and causing trouble."
"I wonder who he gets that from." I teased and he smirked back at me. 'how am I going to tell him?' I thought, I didn't want to ruin what we had. Life was so perfect at the moment and I didn't want to change it.
"Hey are you okay?" Sam said looking worriedly at me.
"Yeah I'm fine why?" I said.
"You don't look too good."
"I just a cold, I'll be fine." I smiled softly at him in attempt to end the conversation.
"Okay then." He said pulling me into a warm hug. "As long as your okay."

*The next day*

I wanted to tell him. I had tried several times but just couldn't find the right moment. I told myself that I was going to do it today no matter what. We were strolling through the park like we often did when we had spare time. Sam's arm rested around my shoulder and the other in his pocket as we walked together. I loved times like this. I never wanted it to change.
We reached our favourite spot beside the lake and stopped for a minute.
"Suprise!" Sam said taking out blankets, sandwiches, strawberry, cakes and crisps from his backpack and setting out the blanket on the grass.
"Aww you made a picnic?" I smiled at how cute and thoughtful he was.
"Yep." He said as we both sat down on the soft blankets. "I thought you needed some cheering up with you being sick and all." He said setting out the food. Now was my chance. I had to tell him. If I didn't I would just keep on worrying about it. And so I did.
"Sam I'm not sick." I said in a shaky voice. He cocked his head in confusion.
"I'm pregnant." I said now with tears in my eyes. For a moment he just froze and it felt like everything was in slow motion. After what seemed like eternity a huge smile appeared on his face. I breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile back, with tears still rolling down my face. He wrapped his arms around me and I sighed into his chest.
"How are we going to do this Sam?" I asked in a still shaky voice. "We have no room or money, we don't know what we're doing and-"
"Hey, hey" he said calmly, coming out of the hug and placing his soft hands on my face. "I will look after us." He smiled. "I can get another job, I'll find the money okay? We're going to be fine. And in the end, we're going to have someone to share all of our crazy stories with!" All of my worries disappeared as we spent the rest of the day talking about baby names and all of the fun adventures we can go on as a family in a few years. And all of a sudden it was like I wasn't scared anymore, I was excited and felt safe knowing I had Sam by my side.

*9 months later*

My heart felt like it was going to burst when I saw Sam holding our baby girl for the first time. He looked so natural with her.
"Hey Morgan" he said softly as his fingertips grazed her forehead. "I'm so proud of you." He smiled at me and I grinned as I realized that we had everything we ever wanted. This was the perfect life that we had been looking for. Morgan was the missing piece and our lives were complete.
