Aidan limped easily outside, becoming familiar with the awkward gait. He sighed softly and took a deep breath of the early morning air, then opened the door to the vet clinic. He was here to help Sam, like he had agreed a few days ago. But when he walked in, he saw no one. Furrowing his brow, he looked around the main waiting room, wondering where Sam was. Wasn't he supposed to be here? Helping her?Sam? Are you in here? |

Silence. No oen was here. It was a quiet day, the closed sign sitting sadly in the window. Sam sat in her office, her face in her arms. Still she hadn't gotten over her losses. Three, three in the past year. It felt terrible to lose something inside you for no reason. A cat meowed in the back room, some dogs answerign it with a snort or whine. There was a parrot sitting in a cage adnhe began to sing.You can't fight the tears that ain't comin'.

He furrowed his brow and went to the office door. He didn't knock, for he didn't think anyone was here. So when he opened the door and saw Sam, surprise covered his face. He stared for a moment, and then spoke hurriedly.I-I'm sorry Sam.. He said and quickly closed it, his heart beating wildly. Would she be mad at him? She had looked really upset...so he didn't know what to do. |

Sam looked up slightly, her eyes red and her lips quivering softly. Her eyes were filled with sadness and she let Aian leave. If he came back, she would tell him his job for day. Hearing a human's voice, a goat began to bleat, puppies began to whine, and a baby racoon began to squabble with his food dish.

She had been crying...he was sure of it. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the office door and opened it gently, looking at her with his big blue green eyes, which were now filled with worry and sadness. He hated seeing her upset.Sam? |

Sam merely looked at him, her eyes sad.Hey Aidan.. Think you can feed teh animals in teh back for me? she asked in a quiet, shaky tone, not usuaal for her.The dogs jsut need some food from teh feed bag, the goat can get some grain, and the cat and pups and baby coon can just have some milk. The parrot began to sing again.She loved me, and baby she loved again.

He listened to her words, and nodded. He would get the jobs done just like she had asked. But not until she told him what was wrong. He looked at her, and had to straing to hear her quite tones, and he could decipher the shake.Sam..You always make me tell you what's wrong with me...even thought I have a lot wrong with me...But I don't like seeing you upset. You of all people don't deserve it. Is there anythign I can do to help? He offered, wondering. |

Sam looked at him, her eyes still sad, and began to shake, a small smile coming onto her face. Her shoulders were shaking and she laughed, long and hard. The laughs turned to sobs and she lowered her face back into her arms.No Aidan, its nothing for you to worry. Its a mother thing and you might get embarassed if you hear the answer and don't want to hear that, she said, her tone quiet still. One arm left the desk and moved to her belly, as if gaurding it.

WHen she started laughing uncontrollably, he looked at her in confusion. Wasn't she just crying? But then it did turn into sobs, and now he was more confused then ever. What was going on? Hearing her words, he furrowed his brow, and then his eyes slowly widened.Are...are you pregnant or something? He questioned, no sure what she meant by a mother thing. |

A smile crept onto her face.How I wish I was. I wil tell you whats wrong, she said, looking up at him.I have had three miscarragies this year, all in the first few months of carrying a baby. The first and secon dones I don't know why they happend and the third one is from getting kicked by Benji, that stallion that we have been working with. Her eyes were soft and teary but her tone was steady and firm. He wanted to know and she told.

As she explained, Aidan's mouth hung open slightly and his eyes widened. Three times? Poor Sam...he'd do something for her. Nodding softly, he looked up at her with his serious eyes.I'm sorry Sam...I wish there was something I could do.. He said and then shrugged, searching for the words. It wasn't fair. She did everything for him and everyone around her...why couldn't she just have something good happen to her for a change? He sighed softly and then headed for the door.I'll go get to work.. He said, thinking maybe if he took some of the workload off of her it might be better for her. |

Sam smiled softly.Thank you AIdan. You are a great help, she said and it was true. His help made things easier, just like Josh and Jay's help. They both kept out of her way when she got sobby or angery but it was for the best. They didn't know what ht ehell they were doing. The parrot looked at him.No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips, he said in a sweet voice, surprisingly good for a parrot.

He nodded and looked back at her before exiting.If there's anything else I can do...Well...I'll do it.He said softly and then went out, closing the door behind him. It was still slightly difficult to see out of his right eye, becuase it was still swollen and bruised from that night. But his limp was getting slightly better..and most of the bruises and scratches were fading. His ribs were his only problem. Taking a deep breath, he went into the back, and was greeted by barks and meows and all other kinds of sounds. He went to the bag that held the dog food and distributed it to the older dogs, making sure they had fresh, clean water as well. He cleaned out the mess that some of them had made and then washed his hands. He fed the cat her milk and then did the same for the puppies. He found the grain and gave the goat his share, and then that lef the baby raccooon. He went to its cage and poured the milk into its bowl, then closed the door, putting the milk away. He swept up the floor and looked for other things to do. |

The parrot flapped his wings, looking at the boy. The parrot had snapped his wing bone by flying into a window. Now, he couldn't fly an had to come in for daily check ups.Whatcha doin'[/b] he squwaked.

He heard a voice and jumped slightly, turning to see the parrot. Where was his food? He looked around and finally found it..then poured a little bit into his dish. He answered, his tone guarded. He was talking to a parrot...he shook his head at that thought.Helping Sam.. |
