Sam's POV
Sam couldn't believe what she'd heard in the Infirmary. The girl was
pregnant. With Cam's baby. And there was something wrong.
Cam was sat across from her where she was attempting to work on
a project that needed to be finished so it could be sent to the
Pentagon. He'd been quiet ever since they'd left the infirmary but
Sam was more worried about the fact that Grace seemed to have
bonded with Jack so easily and not her.
She wondered briefly if her alternate had suffered post partum
depression and they hadn't bonded and that's why Grace hadn't
spoken to her.
She shook her head 'Don't be silly. Your not her mother remember.
She doesn't have to tell you anything if she doesn't want to'
Then Grace's voice appeared in her head 'I told you, well not you
exactly, that I was pregnant as soon as I found out. You told me not
to tell Dad or anyone else for that matter. I didn't need to read your
mind to know what you were thinking. You wanted me to have an
abortion...you wanted me to kill my baby. We didn't speak again till a
few days before the attack. I'd been getting cramps all night and you
asked me if I was alright. I said I was fine but you knew I wasn't.
I hadn't realised before but you saw I'd been bleeding and you took
me straight to the doctors. They checked me over, told me that my
blood pressure was too high and although I wasn't losing the baby
at that point that I could...that's when you said you were sorry and
that you'd support me whatever happened but when I asked you if I
could at least tell dad you said no. That's when I decided to have a
little nose inside your head so to speak...you were still hoping I'd
either get rid of it or I'd miscarry.
Now do you understand why I didn't tell you. I couldn't face seeing
your reaction. Dad didn't even know but he still did more than you
did. You were meant to be my mum. I should have been able to go to
you and at least get some comfort. Instead you were hoping I'd kill
your grandchild one way or another'
Sam felt sick. She'd never wish that on anyone let alone her own flesh
and blood.
'I would never have reacted like that. I may look like your mother
but I certainly don't share her thoughts. I know we've only known you
a few days but I want to help you...'
'I just couldn't be sure...how's your Cam taken this?'
'He's in a bit of a daze...I think you need to talk to him'
'I will. I don't expect anything from him or anyone else for that
matter in regards to this baby...she's my problem not his'
'See. I don't think Cam quite shares that view. The fact still stands
that your carrying his child'
'Correction. I'm carrying my Cam's child and I don't know for how
much longer. I didn't want your Cam to find out how he did'
'Actually...I wanted to know. How did your Cam take it? He must have
been shocked'
'No. Not really. He was so happy. Wanted to scream it from the
rooftops. He wasn't happy about what you'd done so to speak...he
was a good, loving man...please believe that'
'I do...I'm just worried about you and the baby. I never thought I'd
say this but your my little girl and your carrying my granddaughter.
All I want is for you both to be okay'
'It's okay Mum. I know'.
Sam looked up to see Cam looking at her with a concerned look on his
face.
''Sam, are you okay?''
''Yeah. I'm fine...just very tired''
''You sure that's all?'' He didn't sound convinced.
''It's been a long day. That's all'' She smiled softly.
He didn't buy it.
