Troy looked at David before leaving the room. He sat on the bed and relaxed looking across at the enpty bed.

Mitchell convinced the nurse to drop the complaint who finally relented after being bribed with some chocolate. Mitchell settled on the chair and feel asleep, Troy sleeping peacefully.

Troy woke up and sat up and smiled when he saw David's mother fussing over Sammy who was being cradled by David who looked terrible but better.

"Morning, David said you slept well" she said smiling. "Your freind Mitchell has gone for a break and Sammy was fed a bottle."

"Thank you Mary" Troy said tired and yawned.

"How you feeling David?" Troy asked worriedly. David's father cut in, "he's doing well considering. They are just hoping with therapy he'll be able to move his legs again."

"Wha?" Troy said confused.

[dave_Ross]

"Hi Kelsey" I smiled weakly, the two of us were friends mostly because she enjoyed fawning over baby Sammy. "So is David okay now?" Troy asked wanting more information.

"He's okay just wheelchair bound for a while." His dad said.

"Your house has a ramp doesn't it?" He asks. I pause and shake my head.

"I can set one up for David tomorrow" his dad said.

"Sure. Kelsey I hadn't seen you in ages?" I ask.

[dave_Ross]

"That's okay with me Kelsey. But David has to visit lots, Sammy needs his daddy around" Troy said.

Mary nodded agreeing. "You need to pick up your game son, Sammy has to grow up looking up to his dad" David's father Brian said.

[dave_Ross]

"A dog?" Troy suggested shrugging. "Sammy looks content in your arms David" Troy admired, a hand on his belly aware that there was probably another baby growing inside him.

[dave_Ross]

"What on earth?" Troy said becoming nauseous. "Who is that?" He asked looking at the ragged man.

"Kelsey? Is this a joke after all David has been through" Mary chastised.

Mitchell handed Troy a bucket which he clutched between his knees as he threw up into it.

[dave_Ross]

"Can you shower too" Troy said throwing up into the bucket. Before looking up and seeing the figure. "No it can't be....but he..Sammy!"

[dave_Ross]

"why does everyone have amnesia" Troy muttered, throwing up. Troy looked at Mitchell who was standing slack jawed. "Is it him?"

Mary looked over at Troy. "That nausea is quite bad" she said.

"It's okay. Would you believe morning sickness." Both his parents turned and looked at David, who smiled. Brian rolled his eyes, Mary couldn't help but smile.

[dave_Ross]

"Him" Troy muttered nodding towards the bum.

"Let's get you cleaned up then" the doctor said holding his nose as helped the bum into the bathroom. Troy heard the sound of running water.

The smell had started to dissipate.

"How did you find him?" Troy asked Kelsey.

[dave_Ross]

"Is it him though? I thought he was killed" Troy asked confused. "What really happened David?" Troy asked.

[dave_Ross]

"Yeah but you said he died?" Troy said confused. Sammy came out of the bathroom looking wet but a lot less smelly, the doctor behind him.

"Sammy? How? What happened to you?" Troy asked.

[dave_Ross]

"Great" Troy said sarcastically. "Well if you believe soap operas if I slap him hard enough his memory would come back."

"Kelsey why did you bring him?" Mary asked unsure how this was helping

[dave_Ross]

Troy shrugged and weakly got to his feet he looked Sammy in the eyes. "Sorry, but it's worth a try" and struck sammy across the face hard. Sammy's face relaxed and looked at Troy recognizing him, Troy smiled. "Sorry..Sammy? Are you okay?"

[dave_Ross]

"At least I tried something. I need to go outside for a bit" Troy admitted. "Mitchell come with me, please. David look after Baby Sammy."

Troy left the room and leant against the wall and started to cry. His best friend had become a mental case.

[dave_Ross]

"I realised why I missed Sammy so much..I loved him and now he doesn't remember anything" he said crying into Mitchell's shoulder.

"David. You've already got an infant. Troy is probably pregnant with another of yours because of sperm donation. Are you really ready to add a third?" Brian asked David being the voice of reason.

[dave_Ross]

"Well you clearly enjoyed it" Brian said coughing pointing to the bulge under the blanket that had appeared when he'd brought up Troy.

"It has only been a couple of days, Troy may not Even be pregnant." Mary pointed out.


"he was there for me through the pregnancy supporting me, talking to me spending time with me. He made it bareable. Yeah I thought you knew? Sammy meant more to me than I ever realise. I just wish he'd remember."

[dave_Ross]

"Yeah..didn't you know? I hope so I want Sammy to remember so I can tell him how I really feel about him." Troy stopped when he saw Sammy standing there looking concerned.


"Look David you have a baby who in the first three months of his life you've spent a day max." Brian said. "Troy may be pregnant and if he is then he's probably gonna raise the baby so Sammy has brother. You need to make a choice."

"Yes how do you really feel about Troy? Do you want to be part of Sammy and this other potential child's life? Whatever you say won't leave the room" Mary reassured him, as Brian locked the door.

[dave_Ross]

"Not finically. Ignore that. Do you want be an active parent for Sammy? What Do you want your relationship with Troy to be? Follow your heart" Mary said.

"If you don't that's fine" Brian added.

"I know. But it hurts to see him like this" Troy said cuddling up to Mitchell. "Maybe we should let him move in with us?"

[dave_Ross]

"Well I've wanted a few more. I just have to. Find someone to be the dad." Troy smiled.

"sammy..mr to president would you like to stay at our house for a while?"

[dave_Ross]

Troy looked at him uncomfortable "sure" wondering if Sammy would ever be back to normal.

"Good, David you'll be a great dad just have some faith in yourself" Brian said unlocking the door and Troy, Mitchell and Sammy wandered in.

"Sammy is gonna stay with us, we want to see if we can get him back to normal" Troy said hopeful.

[dave_Ross]

"Well at least I tried something" Troy said defensive. "it's not like anyone has a better idea.

The room went silent.

"At least I'm trying" Troy said frustrated. Breaking the tension baby Sammy started crying. Troy scooped him up into his arms and cuddled him against his chest. "It's okay Sammy, it's okay" I smile kissing the infants forehead.
