Okay so here is my take on the recent LuSam storyline. Sam has gotten her PI License and Lucky has had time to decide what he thinks about that. He told Sam that they were over but then decides that that is not how he wants it. Let's just see where it goes from there shall we? On with the story! Italicized are thoughts. Just so you know

Chapter 1

Don't Leave

Sam was sitting on her couch silently, just staring off into space. What did I do wrong? I am officially an investigator now, what is wrong with that? I watched him go into dangerous situations every day and did not complain, why can't he understand that I have to do this? Maybe I am just not meant to be with anyone, I am supposed to be alone. There was a knock on the door and Sam decided to just ignore it. She was not up to seeing or talking to anyone. Then she heard his voice. "Sam? Please open the door."

Lucky had thought about it all day and all of the previous night. He knew that he was being a hypocrite and it hit him that Sam was trying to do the right thing and to be on the right side of the law. Lucky was finally beginning to understand why she got her license and then thought that maybe it was a good thing after all. He had gotten up and decided that he had to go see Sam because he could not leave things where they had and he wanted to tell her that he wanted to be with her. The whole way there he thought about the mistakes that he had made and hoped that it had not ruined them. I knew that Sam had trust issues and I got her to open up and then I leave her? What the hell kind of person have I become. I love her! I just hope that she has not decided to move on. What if she doesn't want to be with me anymore, I don't think that I would be able to take that. Lucky parked at her apartment building and raced to her door. He knocked softly but did not hear anything from within the apartment. "Sam? Please open the door." He hoped that she would. He waited a couple of minutes and still nothing happened "Sam, please. I saw your car out front so I know that you are here." Still nothing. Lucky realized that he was going to have to be a little more forceful. "Sam if you don't open this door, I will."

Sam realized by the tone of Lucky's voice that he was serious and she really did not want a broken door. She decided that maybe they should talk through it and then he could go away and leave her to herself for company. "What do you want Lucky?"

Lucky slumped a little with relief when he had finally answered him. But then he thought about how her voice had sounded. She sounded so sad and hurt and he knew that it was all his fault. "Sam, I want to talk to you. Please just let me in. Please." Lucky let out a deep breath when the door slowly opened. Sam looked terrible. Her mascara had run because she had obviously been crying and her eyes were red and puffy. She looked as though she had not gotten any sleep. "Sam are you alright?"

"Oh just wonderful Lucky, thank you so much for asking. Will you leave now?"
"No I wont. We need to talk."
"Hah I think that you said everything that you needed to yesterday."
"Sam, I have had a lot of time to think everything over and I'm sorry. I'm as sorry as I could ever be for hurting you. I realized that you were just trying to do the right thing and you did. Instead of telling you how proud of you I was for passing the test and getting your license, I was an ass. So please, talk to me and let me make it up to you somehow."
"Really? You are proud of me?"

Lucky breathed a sigh of relief. "Amazingly. I think that you are going to be a wonderful PI. I just hope that you will let me be beside you."
Sam began to cry again and Lucky began to panic. God, I did not mean to hurt her. "Sam, baby, please don't cry. You're breaking my heart."
"I'm sorry. It's just that I am so afraid that I am going to wake up and this is going to be a dream. I am going to wake up alone in my apartment and that is how I am going to live my life. Alone." Sam's crying turned into full out sobbing. Lucky grabbed her upper arms and bent down so that he could look directly into her eyes.

"Sam, this is not a dream and you are not alone. You will never be alone because you have me. I was a jerk and I'm so so sorry."
Sam nodded her head but did not stop crying. Lucky had not seen Sam cry very often in all of the time that he had known her. He put his arm around her and pulled her into the apartment, closing the door. He sat the two of them on the couch and pulled her into his arms. Her head was in the crook of his shoulder and he could feel her shaking and the hot tears on his shirt. He realized how perfectly she fit to him and held her tighter. Eventually Sam had cried herself to sleep in Lucky's arms. He picked her up and put her into her bed. He then got into it beside her and held her to him.

When Sam awoke, she felt an arm across her waist and turned and saw Lucky fast asleep. Does he even realize how gorgeous he is? I can't believe how much I have come to love this man. God, what would I do if I did not have him in my life. He is the one for me and I finally realize and believe that. With those thoughts in her head a small smile came to Sam. Then she heard his pager going off. She quickly grabbed it off of his belt and stopped the beeping. She saw that it was Mac calling and decided to call him back. She got out of bed, trying to cause as little movement as possible and went and got the phone. Mac picked up right away.

"Scorpio."
"Mac, it's Sam. What did you need from Lucky?"
"Where is he?"
"He's sleeping right now but you can talk to me."

Mac gave a slight laugh "I heard that you got your PI license, I guess it must be true."
"Yeah and I want to help the station anytime it needs."
"Really. Wow. From criminal to cop huh?"
Now it was Sam's turn to laugh. "I guess so. What did you need?"
"I wanted Lucky to go and check out a shooting in one of the warehouses by the pier. We got an anonymous tip and I needed him to check it out."
"I can do it."
"Well, Sam, I don't know if that is a very good idea. Maybe you can go with Lucky."
"Mac, I got it."
"Sam I don't-" Sam had cut Mac off mid sentence as she hung up the phone. Mac stared at it and then put it back into the cradle. "Great, now if anything happens to her, I am going to have to deal with Spencer." Mac just sighed and sat down. Maybe McCall can handle herself. But just in case I will wait a couple of minutes and call her house, maybe Spencer will answer. And so he waited and called and Lucky picked up the phone just as he thought. Before Lucky could get hello out of his mouth, Mac cut him off and said, "Spencer, we have a problem."
