Comic Con
It had been a week since Samantha and Norman slept together, with everything going on they both needed the release, Although it did stir up feelings in Samantha she never knew she had, to her Norman was that one night stand and the man she was having a baby with but now ever since moving in opposite him and then sleeping together she felt like she could see herself with him as something more.
"You got your bags packed?" Norman asked breezily entering her room "yup" she replied pointing to the door "comic cons are fun, you will love it" he said wrapping an arm around her handing her an 'access all areas' pass "so what does everything think about this? Just so i know" she asked pointing to her stomach that was forming a small bump, Norman placed a gentle hand on it "Andy knows the truth, but the others just think you are a friend im bringing along like they all do" Samantha nodded disheartened at his words "cool" she replied.

Samantha was overwhelmed by the size of comic con, the 4 hour queues just to get a photo or autograph with Norman, peering through the gap in the curtain behind his table, she watched as teenage girls and women all cried or squealed at the sight of him. Walking around the arena she spotted the actors who were at the bar the night she worked for Fiona.
"Psst, where you going? Im on a break" Norman whispered grabbing her hand gently from behind "oh, just wandering, getting pretty hungry though" she muttered turning to face him, he had a few 'PA' type people around him. "Come on, ill get us something to eat" as they walked hand in hand she felt butterflies everytime he gripped hers tighter as they made their way back to the canteen for the guests.
"Is it like this everytime?" She asked prodding her salad with a fork "oh yea" Norman said whilst laughing "if not wilder each time" he added, slumping back in her chair Samantha felt herself come over woozy "do you mind if I just chill in the hotel room? Im feeling pretty beat" she asked fanning herself. "Yea, ill take you back up im needed in 5" he said lending her a hand up.
"I should be done around 7 tonight, fancy hanging out or something?" He asked her as he opened the door for her "go have fun with your friends, honest i'll be fine, a hot bath and a shitty movie will do me fine" Samantha reassured him. Before he left Norman handed her a wad of money, shoving it in her hand he told her she can order room service or if she gets bored she can hit the shops. "Thanks Norman" she whispered looking at her hand with the cash in "no problem" he mumbled leaning in to kiss her cheek but Samantha turned her face so he caught her lips, it didnt seem to bother him as he left them on her lips longer than if it had been her cheek. "See ya" he said smiling awkwardly before walking down the hallway.
Closing the door behind her Samantha felt her heart beat fast, a smile formed across her face, Norman was the guy making her heart beat like this, maybe she should say something to him, its not like she hadnt noticed how clammy and awkward he gets around her, maybe he liked her too?
Soaking herself in the bath she thought of how easy this would be if her and Norman were an item. The thought quickly dashing from her mind when she remembered that if he really wanted her he would of offered her marriage or something when she told him she was pregnant in the first place instead of this living scenario.
Sitting on the bed in her towel she felt best to phone Fiona and have a talk with her.
"Hey Sam whats up?" Fiona asked
"Well im at this comic con thing with Norman" Samantha began
"And?" Fiona asked
"I dont know" Samantha sighed
"You are getting feelings for him arnt you?" Fiona asked, it was obvious Fiona had been waiting for Samantha to call and be like this.
"I dont know" Samantha whined falling back on to the bed in a huff.
"Didnt I say this would happen? This is messed up babe, why could you not just have this baby and live separately? You see him everyday, your hormones are all over the place I dont think you are thinking straight right now and it wasnt a good idea you joining him there. I mean what are you his dirty little secret?" Fiona moaned at her friend
"We slept together last week" Samantha interjected causing Fiona to curse at her
"Damn girl, I dont know what to say, just please please dont get hurt in all this" Fiona pleaded with her friend showing her worry.
Fiona had a point, Samantha could end up hurt in all this and it wasnt just about her anymore there was going to be a baby soon and it wouldnt be fair on it to not have it knowing whether it was coming or going.
Deciding it was better they stayed friends and raised the child together that way , Samantha decided on going to bed eventhough it was only 8pm, she needed all the early nights she could get.

Samantha rolled over in bed looking at the clock it was near midnight when she felt a weird tickling feeling in her stomach. Sitting up in bed she placed a hand on her stomach and it happened again, like a flutter of butterflies swarming across it. It then dawned on her that it was her baby kicking her and moving around inside her for the first time. She quickly got out of bed and opened the adjoining door to her hotel room, she had to show Norman, he would be back by now, probably in bed but she was so excited at this new feeling she couldnt wait to show him.
"Norman! Check it out the baby is kicking!" She said excitedly opening his bedroom door only to find another girl on top of Norman, riding him, he seemed to be enjoying it before he noticed Samantha in the doorway he quickly pushed the girl from him and stood up from the bed grabbing a pillow to conceal himself "sorry, bad time" Samantha said embarrassed and slammed the door behind her and walked back to her room, she could hear him calling her back.
