Cole wasn't sure the life he wanted was the life Sammie wanted but he didn't care about anything serious right now. They were only dating and he couldn't ask Sammie to give up so much for that. He dropped it and decided he'd let her do whatever she wanted.

The troubles of what her life was turning out like were still in the back of her mind as she kissed him but Sammie decided it was best to keep that to herself. She didn't want to upset Cole and she needed to know how she felt about it all first since at the moment she was very confused. Maybe when the baby came she would be more than happy to spend every day at home with the child, but that was something time would only tell.

He closed his eyes softly as he talked, "Did your mom work? You know while your dad was stationed and what not?" He asked her, then paused to wait for her answer. "And speaking of your mom.. I think we should have her for a visit soon." He said unsure how Sammie would react.

"No she didn't work" Sammie responded when Cole asked if her mother had worked. Her mother now had nothing. What Sammie wasn't about to tell Cole was that although her mother got a widow pension from the government and got a pay out on her fathers death, her mother now had nothing. She had no skills to go out and get a job because all she had done her whole adult life was follow her husband around as he worked. Sammie didn't want to end up like that.
At the mention of her mother coming for a visit Sammie smiled. "Yeah, I can invite her. Maybe next week? I am not sure how she will like being on base but I am sure it will be fine" Sammie mumbled. Despite being tired she was excited about the idea of seeing her mother. After all she had no family or friends here (well except Jenna but that was new) so it would be nice to have a touch of home.

"If she really wants I can get her a hotel room, though it's not too close to base for one." He said wanting her to be comfortable. "I can't imagine how she'll feel being on base. Maybe you can give her the option." He said softly.

"I will talk to her about it. I am sure on base will be okay. And there is no way you are paying to put my mother up in a hotel. I have all this money from my houe sale that I need to spend on something" Sammie teased, yawning softly as she kissed Cole once more. "I need sleep" She muttered, curling up a little more as she felt her body relaxing and beginning to drift off. It had been a very big day and a big night as well.

The next morning his alarm went off and he groaned slightly waking up and heading for the shower. He got dressed quickly knowing he was running a little late. Sammie looked so peaceful sleeping he let her sleep and left her a note before heading to work for the day. He called her on his lunch break from work and made sure she was alright.

After a little while and only two more trips to the bathroom to be sick, Sammie decided to call one of the doctors in town which Jenna had suggested to get an appointment. Luckily she was able to get one for tomorrow so she booked it. Now all that was needed was for Cole to be able to go with her. Sammie hoped that he wasn't working or could get the time off.
When the phone rang around lunch time she answered it, expecting for it to be Cole since no one else rang. "Hello?" She said with a smile.

He finished up the day and headed home, grabbing some flowers on the way. As he walked inside he dropped his things by the door and called out for Sammie as he headed into the kitchen. He found a vase and started to put the flowers in.

For the rest of the afternoon Sammie spent her time either cooking, or in the bathroom being sick. She had given herself plenty of time to make dinner because of this. When Cole finally arrived home at the end of the day the quiche was in the oven cooking and the mousse was in the fridge setting. Sammie was upstairs in the bathroom once more being sick. When she heard him call out for her she got up from the bathroom floor and cleaned herself off, careful to use mouthwash before coming downstairs.
"Hey" Sammie said as she walked into the kitchen with a smile. She looked a little pale but for the most part she was okay.

Cole had a long day at work and was tired and just wanted to be done. He had gotten in trouble for taking too long of a break with one of the guys and tomorrow morning he had mandatory training which always sucked, and usually consisted of marching or running 20+ miles. All he wanted to do was spend the evening with Sammie and then go to bed.
"I have training at 0500 in the morning but I should be back by 0900 and we can get to the doctors in time." He felt like he was talking up a storm and laughed a little. "I'm sorry.. tell me about your day." He said sitting down to listen.

"My day was a little boring. I went to the shops and cooked dinner" She said with a playful and sarcastic smile as if that was the most interesting thing in the world. "My stomach still wont settle" Sammie said trying not to worry him about it as it was just a little morning sickness. For the moment her stomach was behaving and she was glad since the last thing she wanted was for Cole to see her sick.
"Are you sure you will be back in time tomorrow?" Sammie sounded a little doubtful. She didn't want to have to go to the appointment tomorrow by herself and didn't want to cancel or reschedual because of how sick she had been today.

"What's for dinner? I'm starving." He said trying to change the subject relatively quickly. "And have you talked to your mom at all? Is she still going to come for a visit soon?"

When Cole mentioned dinner she grinned. "We are having Quiche and then there is chocolate mousse for after" She said as she got up from the table and moved over to finish dishing it up. While she was filling the plates she answered him about her mum. "I spoke to her earlier and she said that she might be able to come and visit next week. I offered for her to stay off base if she wanted but she insisted that if there was room here then she was fine staying with us. I hope that is okay?" Sammie asked as she walked over to the table and put dinner down in front of him. "I hope you like it" She said as she sat down next to him with a plate of her own.

"I can't wait to meet her, she is more than welcome to sleep in the guest bedroom." Cole said truly excited to meet Sammie's mom but truthfully a little nervous. After all he had knocked up her daughter and convinced her to live a life that he was sure she wouldn't be 100% happy with. He wouldn't let it bother himself though and knew that he could prove to Sammie's mother that he would take care of her daughter and their baby.
"Do you think she'll like me?" he asked with a joking mock tone to his voice.

"I think she will love you" Sammie said honestly. "I mean if anything she will blame me for getting in this situation and I just know she is going to give me a lecture on using birth control" She said with a smile. Sammie had only come looking for Cole because of the baby so that one night on his hotel room had really changed their lives. "You have nothing to worry about. Once she see's how happy I am she will be happy too"

As they finished eating he stood up starting to clear away the dishes and clean up. It was just something he was used to. "We will have to go to the commissary and pick up a few things before your mom comes in and probably some more groceries." He added as he cleaned up. He finished and stretched slightly "Mmm, I'm going to go take a shower and change out of these work clothes, then we could watch a movie or something." He smiled leaning in and kissing Sammie softly.

Sammie kissed him back with a smile. "I can set up a movie upstairs in the bedroom? Maybe get some chocolate or popcorn?" She suggested before kissing him again. "I really enjoyed last time we watched a movie in bed together" She said clearly meaning that night in the hotel room. Sammie knew that he was tired abut she just wanted to spend time with him, even if he fell asleep in bed.

He knew that he wouldn't be able to stay awake for an entire movie but he wanted to spend some quality time with Sammie and he knew she didn't mind. He headed upstairs with her and stripped down to just some boxers crawling into bed, he let out a soft sigh as he settled and wrapped his arms around Sammie in the bed.
As they watched the movie Cole let a bunch of things run through his head, mostly about the baby, and about Sammie. He finally spoke up over the movie. "What should we name the baby?" He asked smiling a little bit.

Sammie turned around so that she was facing him, a small smile on her lips. "Well I was thinking Cole Jnr for a boy" She teased quietly. "Honestly I hadn't thought about it. Did you have any ideas? And do you even want to know the sex?" Sammie said knowing they hadn't really talked about this before. She didn't really know what she wanted when it came to knowing or not.

"So... I shouldn't surprise you while giving birth that we are having triplets?" Sammie teased with a grin. "And I think I would like to know the sex of the baby especially if we get to paint rooms and go shopping for all the little pink or blue outfits" It seemed like a lot of fun setting up for a child and the idea of painting the room yellow just didnt appeal to her.

As Sammie thought as soon as they started to watch the movie Cole was drifted off to sleep and completely out of it. His alarm went off like clockwork the next morning and he snuck out of bed to get ready. He threw his clothes on brushed his teeth quickly and got out of the bedroom so as not to wake Sammie up.
Cole went to training and got his ass kicked up and down. He was a little out of shape but a few more days of this and he'd be fine. They went on a 5 mile run, then had to spend an hour in the gym. He finished up around 9AM and rushed home as quick as he could. He was throwing his clothes off before he was even in the door calling out, "Give me 2 minutes to take a shower and we can go."

When she heard the front door close it was almost at the same instant that her stomach twisted and she had to get up and rush to the bathroom. The morning sickness was bad and Sammie spent the next hour in the bathroom and then had to return at least twice while getting dressed and ready. By the time the clock ticked to nine she was completely dressed and ready to go to the doctors but she was also exhausted. All she wanted to do was climb back into bed.
As Cole rushed through the door, Sammie was glad to see him. A huge part of her had been scared that he wouldn't make it in time. "Thats fine, you stink of sweat" Sammie said laughing as he rushed past her. While she waited Sammie headed into the kitchen to have glass of water before they left.
