army!brat - miscarriage

[sammysicle]

around Tuesday, April 9, 2013.  Noah will be 2 on the 13th.

Before Sam found out she was pregnant with Noah, she'd barely had morning sickness. She wasn't complaining and after almost a week, being pregnant crossed her mind. She swore with her next pregnancy she'd recognize the symptoms sooner. She did not.

To her credit though, she had been exposed to some kind of nasty stomach bug. The first day she started feeling bad, she wasn't surprised when she went running from the dinner table, straight to the bathroom and emptying the contents of her stomach.

Steve had been sitting on the couch watching Noah play tug of war with Kojak, Hank perched on the edge of the couch, meowing at Sam when she walked in and Steve looks up at her, then down to his watch, "Three minutes" he sighed out, reaching for her to sit in his lap.

She looked down at Hank and made a face at him before sitting down on Steve's lap, her back to the cat. She smirked knowing that would get on his nerves. What a crazy game she and Hank liked to play. "Yes, three minutes." She held the stick in her hand but had it turned over so neither of them could see it yet.

When Sam sat down in Steves lap, Hank stood up and stretched, walking across the couch and over Sams legs, plopping himself on Steves lap as best he could, looking up at Sam with that "cat look" that said, nice try lady. Steve chuckled and kept one arm wrapped around Sam and moved his other hand to scratch under Hanks chin, glancing at his watch, "Times up, whats the verdict?"

Sam glanced down when she felt those little paws on her legs and she really should have seen that coming when he tried to share Steve's lap. He gave her the cat look and she gave him her look, pushing him off and onto the couch just because she could. She gave him another look that said 'take that'. "It's time already?" She picked up the test and flipped it over, seeing a blue line in the test and results window. "It's positive. We're gonna have another baby."

Hank made a little purr mixed with a meow and a yelp sound as Sam shoved him off Steves lap and onto the couch, turning and batting gently at her hand and while it seemed he had chosen Steve as his favorite, he liked Sam, he still cuddled with her, and he didnt have a mean bone in his body, just a lot of annoying ones, and he batted at her hand again gently before curling up next to Steve. Steve nods his head and takes a breath, not realizing hes holding it until she says its positive and he lets the breath out, "What? Its ... we're gonna have a baby?" He asked excitedly, looking to see for himself and smiling when he sees the test, wrapping both arms around her and kissing her soundly.

While it always seemed like there was a war going on between Sam and Hank, there really wasn't. It was more or less just a game they both liked to play. When he batted at her hand, she laughed softly and scratched part of his stomach. Sam was smiling while Steve sorted out in his head that yes, she said the test was positive and they were having a baby. "Yeah, we're gonna have a baby." she smiled widely, hugging him tight. "Noah's gonna be a big brother."

"I ... I cant believe it ... we're ... we're ... Noahs gonna be a big brother ... oh god my mother" He snorted, hugging her tight and kissing her neck, "Shes gonna freak out, do we ... should we wait until we get your first appointment outta the way before we tell anyone? So we can show 'em ultrasound pictures?" He asked.
